[So, remember that neat police headquarter building that went up recently?]

[Well, you're getting a delightful view of its roof from above, as the ninjabot makes his landing on said roof. A roof which has sprouted a new addition in the last, quiet, few days. And it kind of... looks like a nest, for lack of a better word.]

[Granted, it's a nest made out of bits of scrap metal and whatever else he managed to find in the junk pile recently. But there's a shelter over one end, and, as he steps nearer to it, the interior of the bowl-shaped construction has... a definite color scheme. Purple and green bits and pieces stuck to the walls.]

[Meanwhile, Kagerou just. Steps in. As if this were the most normal thing ever.]

Since we're discussing the disappearances... [He thought posting his location would be smart.] If I'm needed, I will be staying up here from now on.

It shouldn't be difficult to find.

That's stupid.

Well... I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that he is particularly smart.

[He whispers that a little conspiratorially.]

But joking aside, we all have things we aren't good at and are working on.

He's not. [He nods slightly.] He's a buttfuck.

[Because Vandal said so.]

Then he should try harder.

A... [Drill Boy does a quick search of his words, and finally comes across what he thinks that means.] Kagerou... that's a bad thing to say.

We all have to try hard.

... But Vandal said that was what he was. She wouldn't say anything bad.

[Honey, your naivete is showing.]

He doesn't try hard enough.

[He thinks on that a little.]

Maybe it isn't as bad where she comes from... but it's pretty bad where we do.

Sometimes he doesn't... but sometimes he just tries really hard the wrong way.

... Why wouldn't she tell me it was bad?

[Vandal's his friend. You tell friends these things.]

Wrong way?

Maybe in her world it isn't bad, or not bad like it is in ours.

[He shrugs slightly, he doesn't want to tell Kagerou his friend wasn't honest with him, since he doesn't know if she was or wasn't.]

Yeah he... he tries to do a lot of stuff on his own and he has even done stuff that wasn't really safe in order to stop the bad guys. But he is still trying to get the bad guys even when he is doing that.

I've never heard it...

[But now he intends to ask her. If possible.]

So he's foolish.

[Says the BP who took a girl hostage like it wasn't any old thing.]

Huh, it's in my databanks as English profanity, though apparently it isn't often used.

[Maybe that is why she didn't know it was a bad thing.]

But he does what he thinks is right, and he doesn't put others at risk as much as it might seem like.

You have a database for profanity...?

[WHY is that necessary.]

He still seems foolish to me.

Yep, so that I can give out tickets for excessive profanity if I come across it. But I don't use it, because they are bad words.

I'm not saying he isn't, just that... he doesn't do it just because, he normally has some kind of reason.

You give tickets for that? Shouldn't you be... doing other things?

[Solving real crimes?]

His reasons. I don't like his reasons.

Only if I came across it during non emergency times.

[He shrugs.]

I can't make you like them... but maybe at least trying to understand things from his side would give you less reason to be cross about him.

That seems silly.

[Kagerou have you met Saejima. Do you even know how silly your world gets.]

I have tried. He doesn't let me.

Well it's not the silliest thing.

[Everyone thought he was really silly when he first woke up after all.]

He can't stop you. He might not explain himself, but Gunmax rarely does, it's up to you to decide if you want to try just letting him do his own thing until you catch his reasons, or stay frustrated at him.

Then what is?

[Do you really want to ask that question.]

... He does his best to shut me out. It shouldn't matter. Should it? The opinion of one member of the Brave Police.

When I already know the opinion of the one who really matters to me.

Boss being in a girls school outfit and having to act like a girl is one.

[Remember you are the one that asked for this.]

It doesn't matter, unless it matters to you, and then it's important to at least try to find a meeting point.

... Come again?

[No, seriously, what. What does that even mean.]

I don't know if he's worth worrying about.

[... OH HOW THE TIMES WILL CHANGE, KAGEBIRD. Little do you know.]

Boss ended up having to dress like a girl and go undercover at an all girls school.

[He doesn't think he is being that confusing.]

Then don't worry about him... but it can get pretty lonely if you let one person keep you away from everyone.

I... but why?

[It just doesn't make any sense. Why not send a real girl.]

I don't. But I won't... cause trouble for Shadowmaru's friends, either.

Saejima said it was the best option.

[Even other humans have to deal with him.]

You don't cause trouble for us! You are our friend too!

... He doesn't seem like he has good ideas.

[Understatement of the century.]

Not all of you.

He has a lot of crazy ideas... but somehow things work out in the end, every time.

[That is because everyone else does things to make it work.]

No, but most of us.

... Not everything.

[Like himself, for example.]

I would still cause friction. It's better I stay apart.
