......

Well, well. You didn't do so bad getting rid of that small fry.

I'm telling you, you should take the help I'm offering you.

Our goals are the same anyway.

......

You're right.

But, that's as far as we go.

But why?! I showed you what I can do!!

Yeah, and I do think you're pretty strong.

But aren't you just trying to use my power for your own ends?

W-Well...

N-No! But what's wrong with that anyway?

That's what squads are made for!

When you put it that way, it doesn't sound so bad.

You use me, I use you.

Yeah, I guess it's not a bad trade off.

But I don't want that kind of relationship with my companions.

I want to fulfill my mission with people I actually enjoy having around.

How can you act so laid back?!

Melchio's trying to destroy our world!!

We don't have time for all that mushy crap!!

Yeah. You're right.

But those are my preferences...

...and I'd just rather fight without you.

Preferences...?!

Hah! I don't even know why I thought I could count on you!

Just forget it.

But once I beat Melchio, you're gonna regret this!

Don't worry.

I'll tear him to pieces for you instead.

Whatever, lady!!
