"Do your absolute best."
That was the advice that Matsuo Yamamoto gave to both Liohime Kitagami and Jolene Aurora, followed by, "I won't travel along with you guys. I have important business to attend to here, after all. Still, do note that I will be supporting you guys from Polar Town."
He exhaled, and then continued, "Jolene."
"Yeah?"
"Use your assassin skills to the fullest. I don't want you holding back, even though you don't necessarily like having to kill. This is your life that's at stake, as the Paradisus Legion is a very dangerous place. You hear?"
"No shit. I'm ready for anything, so you don't have to remind me," she coolly answered while turning her head away. Still, despite her ignorant attitude, Liohime glanced at her slightly trembling hand, and her clenched fist, noting that she too was nervous.
He smiled faintly, but his smile faded as his name was also called.
"Lio."
"S-Sir?"
