Flashback to the car picking up Kenny and Koku
"So...how's retirement been doing for ya" - Koku
"...I'm not retired, I quit. Been thinking of starting a security company, a man still gotta put food on the table." - Kenny
"But enough about me, how's things been going on your side, like your student." - Kenny
"Hmph... she's improving with tremendous speed. Y'know she could've made Prodigy like the others ." - Koku
"So why didn't she?" - Kenny
"She said she's not ready, that she hasn't proven enough to me yet" - Koku
"And you think that's true?" - Koku
"....Yes. The world's got terrifying people out there, and as senseis, we have to push our students past their limits...and also be there for them, don't we?" - Koku as he stares at Kenny
"Your daughter still not talking to you?" - Koku
"Sniffles...she said, that I'm the reason her mother is dead, and that she's gonna kill me herself." - Kenny
"...Kenny-" - Koku
"God I'm a terrible father!" - Kenny
"...Your wife's death wasn't your fault." - Koku
Kenny immediately stares at Koku
"I know...it's your boss's fault" - Kenny
"Technically we're partners" - Koku whispers to himself
Awkward Silence
"After this...go talk to her" - Koku
"..."
"We're here" - driver
Flashback ends
While Kenny and his team goes to Izu Grandpal park to complete their hit list, Kokushibe and Masayoshi have a talk about the situation.
"...Any Legendary rank could've handled this operation, so stop taking the piss and tell me, why did you really want Kenny to be here?" - Koku
"You know the saying, home is where the heart is." - Yoshi
"Yeah everybody knows it-" - Koku
"And another that says, a world without a devil...starts to believe in gods!" - Yoshi
Yoshi stands up
"You know damn well we've never had another like Kenny Kazuma! That man wasn't just a hitman — he was an ideology! Every job he touched turned to perfection! High-profile, high-risk, even the ones no one else would dare to take — he made them look effortless! No loose ends, no noise! Just one clean shot and a vanishing name. The Prodigies look up and envy him. He shaped the very foundation we lay upon!" - Yoshi
"Since he walked out, the whole damn balance has been off. I've watched these new ranks rise, and sure, they're skilled... but none of them carry that fear. That weight. He was our ghost, our myth, our very own Boogeyman! We can't loose Kenny." - Yoshi
"...The glaze is insane by the way, and what me and the other Legends aren't good enough for ya!?" - Koku
"The only day I'll see you guys on his level is the day he fucking dies!" - Yoshi
Kokushibe flabbergasted
"He just needs a push, to get his edge back. Once he's done with this hit, he'll remember the good ol' days and come back." - Yoshi
"..."
"Don't look at me like that" - Yoshi
"...Make sure he comes back, got it." - Koku as he leaves
Yoshi smirks
"Say less" - Yoshi
