| Barton: |
...
......!
|
| Navigator: |
Sir, please don't come any closer. Your Ironjaw is quite scary when it's magnified.
So...what happened?
|
| Barton: |
I was summoned to Illumina for a meeting. Do you know what we talked about during the meeting?
|
No. What did you talk about?
| Barton: |
Normally I shouldn't tell you. But this is a special situation, so I need to think about it.
|
Actually...I don't really want to know.
| Barton: |
You need to know even if you don't want to, but I'm thinking whether I should let you know about it.
|
???
| Barton: |
Normally I should really get you a mirror for you to see how innocent you look right now. Something bad might happen to you tomorrow if I leave you alone.
|
...
| Barton: |
Don't just stand there! Ask more questions! This is about you, ask me what happened!
|
| Barton: |
Actually what happened was... during the meeting with Illumina's Legion Commander...
|

| Hiiro: |
We have the Grand Marshal's order and that is: "Interesting. Watch that person closely."
|
| Barton: |
Are we supposed to turn that into a plan? Our Lady Chief won't be happy about that.
|
| Sharona: |
Don't worry, Vivian is good at this.
|
| Wrath: |
So how are we going to watch him? I say we just grab and lock him up somewhere. You got any ideas?
|
| Hiiro: |
Calm down, one of us can get in touch with that guy.
|
| Sharona: |
In short, before the detailed proposal is read, we just need to keep an eye on that person.
|
| Barton: |
Hold on, what is it about that person that's worth keeping an eye on? Don't tell me I'm the only one at a loss here. You guys don't seem to know much either.
When it comes to a fight, that person is obviously weak. He's got a special talent, but he's not worth the Legion Commander's involvement.
Other than that Colossus, tell me why [Navigator] is valuable to Illumina.
|
| Wrath: |
Body.
|
| Sharona: |
Lineage.
|
| Hiiro: |
Brain... O r more precisely, psychic ability.
|
| Barton: |
...
No matter what, I think this issue should be discussed further! Before the detailed plan is ready, no one lay their hands on [Navigator]!
|

| Barton: |
That's what happened.
|
Have I just come across some incredible news?
| Barton: |
Why would I ask you to come here otherwise? It can't be just for chitchat.
|
Such a heartwarming story,that meandered to no end.
| Barton: |
We don't have much time. I've only told you what I think was most important.
|
| Barton: |
On the other hand, someone called you weak at the meeting. How do you feel about that?
|
Wasn't it you who said that? I am weak though.
| Barton: |
Yup, but it was cause I was worried that the other three Legion Commanders would take a special interest in you. Understand?
|
I am not good at fighting, but I do have other expertise!
| Barton: |
Sometimes a lack of fighting power determines everything. It may be too late when you come to realize that!
|
| Barton: |
Stand still, stop shaking!
Look at your tiny frame. Do you see the drawbacks of not fighting in battles?
I actually know how you feel. Don't think I've always been this stout. I was just a normal person in the past.
Do you understand why I'm telling you all this now?
|
I think I do. Maybe.
| Barton: |
Looks like you have no idea why I'm doing this. I can tell by the look on your face.
|
Hold on, I don't understand what you're saying.
| Barton: |
I want to see your reaction, of course! Do you think I like to train people like that in person?
|
| Barton: |
No matter what happens later on, if you join Illumina for whatever reasons, remember to stay on my side. Do you understand?
|
No need, I wasn't planning to anyway...
| Barton: |
You're saying that now, but that may not be the case when the time comes. Do you have any idea how overbearing our Illumina General is?
|
I'm not sure why, but I will.
| Barton: |
That's right! Don't forget that they will do anything for the Power Puzzle.
|
| Barton: |
Listen, if you stray from me, they'll eat you alive!
|

| Barton: |
Under my protection, at least your life won't be threatened.
Even though I'll carry out Illumina's plans, I'm still a normal person who uses normal means despite how much I love fighting!
That does it! No matter who asks, you should always say—
"I prefer Barton's way, so I'm with Barton"!
Do you understand?
