>What am I even SAYING?>Sorry, girls.>You're right. Instead of doing a grand gesture of retaliation, what better way is there to "retaliate" than simply winning the fight?>I just...I get so sick of having straight up criminals, who seem magnetically drawn to me in this company, try to go out of their way to either kill me or destroy any property that I'm attached to. I wanted to try it myself, for once, but in reality?>I'm no criminal at all...I let my contempt blind me.She's almost scared by that revelation.
>But what I can be--no, SHOULD be--is the girl that makes Raquel Durango sorry for doing all that. I don't need to stoop to her level, to indulge in needless distractions.>What I need to do is win.>Thank you for keeping me focused.And Raquel says she doesn't have any friends. Shows what she knows. No, if she was Raquel Durango, any wish would be granted hand and foot, no matter how poor an idea it was. A subordinate does as you say. A good friend can tell you "no" and bring you to your senses.
>...I didn't get the chance to say this, but excellent job beating the Divine Angels. Any defeat they suffer is a victory for me, as petty as that is.>I still want you to train, of course, but I've got faith you'll be holding onto that belt for quite a while.>Speaking of training, what better way to handle our "primary tasks" by sparring? If you need an extra body, I'm right here!>I'm sure I can find wherever Onigiri-san's hiding and have her join, too...
