"Hmph! You sure are full of yourself, kid!"
The Regular Soldier snorted coldly, nudging the boys groaning on the ground with the tip of his boot.
"A little more force and these guys might have been on their way to see the Celestial Father, don't you think? Aren't you afraid I'll toss you in a cell for a year or two?"
"Heh heh..."
Roland ignored his threat, simply chuckling as he asked a question in return.
"Captain John, when did you get back?"
"Hahaha!"
His identity exposed, John immediately dropped the act. He laughed heartily, stepping forward to clap Roland hard on the shoulder.
"Just got back the day before yesterday. But you, what's all this fuss about?"
Roland jutted his chin toward Marco, who was standing frozen to the side, and calmly explained his reasoning.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
John tilted his head to glance at Marco and clicked his tongue.
"The kid didn't even get involved himself? Guess he has some brains after all..."
