#act 12 chapter 35

Izumi

Chikage-san.

Chikage

What is it?

Izumi

Do you remember what I said back then?

Chikage

Back when?

Izumi

During “Scarlet Mirror.”

You brought back Hisoka-san and if anything happened in the future, Chikage-san would take care of it.

Chikage-san I said that you’re a member of the theater company and a companion, so please try not to do anything dangerous.

Chikage-san, you nodded in agreement then.

Chikage

…...

Izumi You clearly remember it since you’re so quiet.

Chikage

Well, who knows.

Izumi

It makes me happy that you think of the theater company, Chikage-san.

But this time, there’s a bunch of people willing to help us out, and I don’t want Chikage-san alone to be in danger because of the theater company.

Especially now. Chikage-san, if anything happens to you, I’d never forgive myself.

Don’t forget your promise.

Chikage

Roger that.

Izumi

If you lie, you’re gonna have to swallow a thousand needles. *

(Alternatively: cross your heart and hope to die.)

Chikage

Yeah, yeah. I got it.

Hisoka

*holding back a laugh* Chikage’s.... pinky promise....

Chikage

August would laugh out loud if he knew.
