So. How 'bout that finale?

[kiryuin_shield]

Hmph. I told you so. Now, if you would stop sobbing, I would appreciate it.

Mun here was so upset she screamed in public. Man, that was embarassin'.

Glad t'see you in one piece, though.

[kiryuin_shield]

I am Satsuki's impenetrable shield.

You really think I'd let that freak break my record?

[godrobe]

Well- [ Yeeahh she's not gonna comment on that. ] Thanks for protecting Mako for me.

The fact of the matter is that you still passed out when she stabbed you.

[kiryuin_shield]

I would've done the same for any of the students.

[He's just gonna look awkward and all.]

Tch. Let's just focus on the fact that I survived, and took out that barrier.

[...and turned into a Ganman.]

[godrobe]

Yeah yeah, good job.

When all's said and done, you're pretty reliable. I can see what Satsuki sees in you.

[ And Mako too, maybe. Your awkward does not escape the Ryuuko-dar. ]

[kiryuin_shield]

[Jeeze, Ryuuko. Way to make the giant blush.]

I swore myself to Satsuki-sama's service, and she told us we were all coming back alive. I wasn't about to let anything keep me from fulfilling my orders.

[godrobe]

[ Success! ]

You say that but it's just a front, isn't it? What's wrong with being honest and acknowledging yourself once in a while?

[kiryuin_shield]

Because I am not important by myself. Without the people I protect, I have no purpose. Without Satsuki, Mankanshoku, Sanegayama, Jakazure, Inamuta, and even yourself, I have no meaning.

A shield without a wielder is just a slab of metal.

[skullcapo]

You big, dumb, overreacting faker.

...heh. Not bad, froggie.

[kiryuin_shield]

[He just rolls his eyes a bit. He's never going to hear the end of that is he? But... seeing everyone's reactions kinda... made it worth it.]

With that much at stake, you really think I would have faked something like that? If you'd ever had steel forced into your body like that, you'd understand. It takes your breath away for a minute.

[skullcapo]

You know what I'm talking about. All those theatrics! "Mankanshoku, if you're safe then it's all right," blah blah blah.

Maybe I should've forced you to enroll in the drama club.

[kiryuin_shield]

I would've gladly done the same for you, or any of the students.

The fact that it was Mankanshoku was completely coincidental.

[He snorts.] I would never have fit on any stage.

[skullcapo]

There's always outdoor theater.

Tell yourself that if it makes you feel any better. Not that I expect the head of the school's Disciplinary Committee to be any good at lying.

[kiryuin_shield]

Hmph. I have never lied, and I don't intend to start now.

[Have a giant hand resting on your head, Nonon.]

If you had been in Mankanshoku's shoes, I would gladly have done the same thing. After all, you and Satsuki have a relationship similar to Ryuko and Mankanshoku.

[Yeah, he just said you were like Mako, Nonon. Deal with it.]
