I like you! Join me!!

What's this all of the sudden?

Oh, I haven't told you yet, but I'm on my way to beat some guy named Melchio.

And I'm looking for people who might be able to help me out.

You've got pretty decent skills, so it might be fun bringing you along.

I know not of what you speak, and I am very busy with my training.

So?

Going on a journey would be the perfect way to train.

I don't do well with others. My apologies, but I must decline.

Are you serious?

Or are you just too chicken to fight Melchio?

Hah! I shall not be provoked so easily.

...but I shall ask you something, just out of curiosity.

What?

Is that Melchio of yours strong?

Yeah, he's strong.

Everyone says he's destroyed a bunch of villages already.

......

It looks like he came from another world too.

Doesn't that make him a one of a kind opponent?

......

It does. I believe I should also make my way towards this Melchio.

I'm sure he would make good practice for my Veda fencing art.

Hmph. Why couldn't you just answer like that in the first place?

Okay then, now...

Halt! Do not misunderstand me!

Michele...is your name, correct? I shall not become your travel companion.

I will go defeat Melchio on my own.

Say what?!

......

However, if you decide to come along, I shall not stop you.

......

Hmm... Okay, I guess.

Let's see if you can show me the real essence of that sword art of yours.
