Hey. I’m not into public introductions, it feels like AA or something. Name’s Rudolf Ushiromiya, just got a few questions here for the rest of you.

Anyone know how exactly they decide where you go? It’s like a horoscope, right? Personalities and all that. So what’s the formula, if you want specifics, it’d be Baldr. If you don’t like how they judged you, who do you talk to about getting a switch? I don’t like the idea of somebody just assuming who I am.

Oh yeah, and what kind of jobs are up for grabs, or businesses that might be needed. This suite doesn’t really suit my tastes. …And I guess I’m gonna have to buy cigarettes.

Personal experience?

Anyone I can think of is probably dead.

But y'know, last I checked you were dead too.

I realize that.

But now I'm here. And I don't think anyone I have to be running from is here--

[Oh, but that reminds him, who came on screen but Beatrice just a little while ago...]

..You're not trying to tell me the witch is going after her, are you?

[Not that...he believes in the witch...maybe]

The witch? Oh, right, she's floating around here too, isn't she...?

Nah, she's the least of lady's problems. Most of lady's problems have to do with money. Nothing's scarier than that, yeah?

Ah, so it is a what. Yeah, you got me there, who doesn't have trouble with money at some point. But if she needs help, first priority for me's deciding how to get going with it here...

No, that doesn't make sense if she needs some kind of protection...

Ugh, don't tell me, Kyrie's family, then?

Oh, not bad, that was fast.

But don't worry, I'm on the case! With a reliable guy like me handling things, you have nothing to worry about.

[ except, y'know, everything. ]

They're the only ones who are scary enough to require protection from that I can think of.

So who are you, then. And what do you want with my daughter.

[except the pure fact that he exists, yes]

Well, isn't it obvious?

In this kind of situation, when you've got a man and a woman together... there's only one thing he'd usually want, right?

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.

You'd better state your case before I come after you.

The overprotective dad, huh? Scary...

Well, fine then. Here goes! [ a cough, before he dramatically clears his throat. ] I'm her bodyguard.

...You're serious? It sounds like she needs someone else to guard her from you!

[ accurate. ]

Unfortunately, I'm all she's got.

Yeah, well, she's got me here now!

And what's your name, boy?

Good intentions are one thing, but do you really have what it takes...?

Juuza Amakusa, at your service.

Sure I do, I even got to keep a nice gun, I can look out for her pretty damn well.

A gun's only worth something if you know how to use it. Too many guys go around these days thinking packing heat makes 'em invincible.

You're assuming I don't know how to use it? I've got a few at home, me and the wife do some shooting now and then.

[Fun family activity]

Oh? Not bad. So you aren't just a novice. That's good. But there's still a difference between being able to use a gun and knowing how to use one.

Hopefully you'll never have to learn what that difference is though.

What, putting it to real 'combat use'? I wasn't going to go around flaunting it, but you shouldn't assume I'm useless just 'cause I'm old. I had to fight for my life just a little while ago and it didn't fail me then.

That's true, but in any battle... you can't really say you won if you don't walk out of it alive.

I won that battle, just not the war, right?

Besides, they cheated, a bullet shouldn't be able to follow you. Even heat-seeking junk can be fooled sometimes, but there's nothing real that just follows regardless of anything else!

That's rough, but complaining about it now just makes you sound like a sore loser.

[ a bullet that... follows you? eh, he figures rudolf probably just misunderstood. i mean, you shouldn't even have enough time to see a bullet before it hits you... ]

Well, that aside, this place is something else. Whether you believe in magic back home or not, here it's definitely real.

[uwoo, those siestas, man, you don't even know...!!]

Yeah, well, it's dirty to fight like that. Even using human means that are dirty tricks is way better. Hell, it's fine here too, at least we know there's magic and junk, even if you still can't defend yourself against it, you know it's there.
