Nagusa bond story 3

momotalk

N: Maybe it's just my imagination
N: But the streets have felt more rowdy as of late.
S: Hyakkiyakko's as chaotic as usual/Keep yourself safe, alright?
N: I'm perfectly fine
N: Taking care of things like these is our responsibility after all.
N: Besides, I can see well in the dark, and there's not many people.
N: But a problem's a problem nonetheless.
N: It might do the peace some good if we organised more patrols
S: Works ending early for me today
S: Mind if I helped?
N: Oh?
N: If you're sure, I'll be waiting.

(As the sun set, I met up with Nagusa and began patrolling)
(Hyakkaryouran's not exactly big, so I expected we'd finish early...)
(I couldn't have been more wrong)

N: It's dangerous to go outside at this time
Wandering Student: ...This isn't your problem.
N: Perhaps.
N: But if you insist, I'd advise you go to a nearby restaurant or cafe.
WS: No way, my sis will find me.
N: Your sister?
S: Did something happen between the two of you?
WS: Not really.
WS: I totally didn't have a fight with her, ran away from home, but realise at the last second I didn't have anywhere else to go!
S: I'd be happy to give some advise

(After looking after the run away student...)

N: ...Hey.
Suspicious Student: Huh? You talkin to me?
N: What are you doing here?
SS: Well as you can see, it's just construction work.
SS: The sewer line's buried- no, I meant the water line's being replaced!
N: As far as I know, there's no construction scheduled here.
N: And at such a late hour too.
N: Care to show me what's in your bag?
SS: Urgh!

Disguise falls off, it's the street ghost troupe

Trope members: Damn it! Run for the hills!
TM: To think we'd be spotted out at dark!
TM: It was a perfect plan too!

They flee

N: You're not getting away.

Nagusa shoots em down
(After thwarting the plans of the street ghost tropue...)

S: Excuse me, where do you live?
Drunk resident: Home? The sky is my roof! Everything is as good as a home.
DR: Everyone sleeps at home, hell's your problem!?
S: It's dangerous to sleep outside like this./I'll take you to the nearest valkyrie station.
DR: What!? You're handing me over to the cops!?
DR: Like I'll let you! Come and get it!
N: Calm down. You're being a nuisance.
S: T-treat him gently!

(After dealing with drunk residents... which took longer than expected)

S: I'm tired...
N: Good work, Sensei.
N: It was an unusually busy day too.
N: I didn't think it would take that long.
S: Should we head back to the club room now?
N: Wait.
N: The sky's at it's darkest right now.
N: It's hard to see where you're even standing right now, so moving isn't a good idea.
N: Before we head back, let's wait until it's a bit brighter.

(We decided to stay at a nearby coffee shop until dawn)

N: It's so quiet.
N: This coffee shop's usually bustling... but right now it's like time just stopped for it.
N: ...I know this because I'm a regular here
N: Whenever I'm out late, I wait for the dawn right here.
S: You've grown to like it haven't you.
N: ...Not exactly.
N: It's because it eases my fears.
N: My fear... being that of the dark.

L2D

N: The moment before dawn breaks- is often the darkest one.
N: I... was always scared of that void.
N: Because to shine as though to light up the night- to endure until dawn-
N: Were things I couldn't do.
N: By wearing a mask- I was only hiding in the shadows, playing the hero.
N: But- it's different now.
N: There's no night that will never end- even my own shadows will fade. I know that now.
N: That's why-
N: I can say this with pride.
N: I am the chairman of Hyakkaryouran.
N: Goryou Nagusa!
N: The sun will rise soon.
N: It's been a terrible night.
S: Was it really?
N: But... a chaotic, noisy night like this...
N: It's rather fitting for a school like Hyakkiyako.
