Millie mumbles to herself as she observes Kirisame. Habiki seemed to notice it too as he played, and so he attempted to ask.

He didn't say anything. After a short while, he walked out of the room while massaging his neck.

"W-what the heck was that? Habiki, is that the Kirisame that you always talk about?"

Millie asked him.

"No…something's not right. He has been struggling about something, I know of it. He needs our help."

"Even if you say so…"

Habiki followed Kirisame from behind, he saw him leaning on a wall, holding his head as if he's trying to crack it. As Habiki was about to approach, Millie silently called his attention.

"Dear…!"

When Habiki turned, he saw Kirisame's men surrounding them. One of the men then explained the situation.

"Do not be alarmed. We're here to ask for your assistance."

"My assistance…?"

Habiki asked inquisitively.
