Loyd Vernard Appears!

Koji: Hey Osvaldo!

Osvaldo: Hey Koji. How have you been?

Koji: Not bad thanks... *Smiling* And you?

Osvaldo: I'm good thanks.

Koji: I wanted to ask you something...

Osvaldo: Go ahead?

Koji: About your grandfather...

Osvaldo: Yeah?

Koji: I was wondering if you could introduce me to him... Kirigaia told me that maybe he could help me find my brother.

Osvaldo: Don't get cocky just because you are an S-rank fighter.

Koji: What do you mean?

Osvaldo: You think you can be with him?

Koji: Why not?

Osvaldo: *Laughing* Alright... You seem pretty clueless. I'll introduce you to him.

Koji: Thanks!

...

Osvaldo: This is his house... I'm going back to the headquarters now. Good luck.

Koji: Alright thank you.

...

*Koji knocks on door*

Loyd: Who is it?

Koji: Hi, It's Koji. I'm Harada Koji.

Loyd: Hah? Do I know you?

Koji: No-

Loyd: Then get lost!

Koji: But I just need a quick favour.

Loyd: LEAVE!

Koji: ... Sorry to bother you...

...

- Koji's House -

Koji: I just don't get it... Why would he do that when he was a former SS-rank fighter...

Zoe: Maybe he has a good reason to.

Koji: Why would it be though?

Zoe: I'm not sure. Maybe he just can't.

Koji: That makes no sense...

Zoe: Well didn't you say his ability was removing abilities?

Koji: Yes...

Zoe: Maybe you just can't be with him.

Koji: That makes no sense!

Zoe: Sorry.

Koji: I'm going back I'll be back later.

Zoe: Okay...

...

*Koji knocks on door*

Loyd: You again? What the hell do you want?

Koji: Why won't you just let me talk to you for a few moments?!

Loyd: I don't want to.

Koji: Ok, but...

Loyd: But nothing. Get out!

Koji: ...

...

Koji: He just told me to leave over and over.

Kirigaia: Hmm. I'm not the best person to ask since I don't even know him too well... Try asking Osvaldo about it again.

Koji: Is he still here.

Kirigaia: Zoe!

Zoe: Yes sir?

Kirigaia: Can you check if Osvaldo is still here?

Zoe: Sure *Smiling*

...

Koji: Thanks *Smiling*

Zoe: No problem *Smiling* ... He didn't leave yet so he is either in a dungeon or maybe he is downstairs about to leave...

Koji: I'll go check quickly, thank you! *Running*

Koji: OSVLADOOO! *panting*

Osvaldo: Yes?

Koji: Your grandfather didn't even let me talk to him... Do you know why?

Osvaldo: I tried to warn you.

Koji: What? Why? Is it because my powers will be removed?

Osvaldo: Of course not, he can control his ability really well...

Koji: Then why?

Osvaldo: He is just a really grumpy old man.

Koji: Oh...

Osvaldo: And also he is constantly suppressing Fumiko's power so she doesn't destroy the whole world.

Koji: OH!

Osvaldo: I don't know how... Neither does anyone...

Koji: How is that possible?

Osvaldo: I just told you that I don't know!

...

-Mountainous region-

Sota: Akari... I just realised how weak you are compared to everyone else...

Akari: What? Where did that come from?

Sota: Because I noticed that you act high and mighty here all the time but you haven't got the courage to even speak up when you need to in front of others.

Akari: Stop imagining things.

Sota: Fight me again.

Akari: What? Are you okay?!

Sota: Fight me!

Fumiko: This young man is so full of spirit. Isn't he?

Akari: Certainly Miss Fumiko.

Sota: Who is this old hag?

Akari: *Punches Sota's head* Don't you know who you are speaking to?

Sota: *Ouch* No! I don't.

Fumiko: You must be young Sota.

Sota: Yeah and who are you?

Fumiko: My name is Fumiko... Akari, I want him.

Sota: What do you mean?

Akari: But Miss Fumiko-

Fumiko: No buts. I want him. He is now mine.

Akari: Certainly.

Fumiko: Sota, come with me.

Sota: What? No.

Fumiko: Sota! Come with me.

Sota: *Walking towards Fumiko*

Fumiko: Now that is a good boy.

Akari: *thinking* Why? Why can't I do anything about this... Sota was right... I'm weak.

Men from tribe: Akari! Where is Sota going?

Akari: Oh... The... He is going... too... He's coming back soon.

Men from tribe: What? What do you mean?

Akari: Don't worry about it.

...

Loyd: She is still using her power, I can feel it. This isn't good... My ability is becoming more and more ineffective against her.

Bunta: We still didn't find a way to stop her completely.

Shin: Let's be honest, you are getting old.

Loyd: Relax. I still got it for now... As long as I am alive, I won't let her do as she pleases.

Bunta: I'll be going back for now... But before going back to the Ice region I think I'll go to the great forest... There is a kid that awakened the powers of the dark flame.

Shin: So it still lives on?

Bunta: Apparently...

Loyd: Speaking of which, I met a kid today that came to my door... It felt like his power was very similar to Fumiko's but not in the same way... I never felt something like that.

Shin: A power similar to Fumiko? Who was it?

Loyd: I think he said he was Hatiku Joje.

Bunta: Umm... I have no idea.

Shin: Did you see his face?

Loyd: No, I told him to leave.

Shin: Why?

Loyd: I was relaxing.

Shin: WHY!!! HE COULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG!

Loyd: I was relaxing. He will show up again.

Bunta: Why are you so sure?

Loyd: Just a hunch *laughing*

Shin: Hatiku Joje! I will remember this name and find him.
