Gachiakuta (ガチアクタ)

After I look at them, I'll take a break.

Why in the world would he tell them that?

Hey, Dear.

You can't go around glaring like that, even at your enemies.

You'll end up with wrinkles when you grow up.

I know that expression.

"How'd things end up like this when we just went out to eat," right?

Think of it as a last-minute job, okay?

Besides, you're the one who decided to jump into that hole.

You've been worried about Rudo, right?

Isn't that's why you tagged along?

Hey, sorry, sorry! Forgot you were sensitive about that...

Cute dynamic you've got there.

Is that there your kid?

Pretty much. Not by blood, of course.

I'm hoping we can get out of here ASAP.

Dear'll start to get sleepy if we're not back before nightfall.

I see. So Dear's your name, eh?

Mind if I call you "Dear little boy"?

Guess that's a no? All right.

He's at the age when a little brattiness is still cute.

How old is he?

He turned ten last month.

Hey, that's great. What day?

The 17th.

September 17th.

Hey, close one! Mine's September 19th.

So you just got older, huh?

Don't say it that way. You're making me feel ancient.

Listen to us. We sound like old men chatting.

Hey, don't laugh. It just makes me sad.

So, what's your story?

You don't seem particularly hostile.

Are you even here to fight us?

Bundus.

That's my name. You can call me that.

I'm Bro.

This is hard to navigate.

As for my story...

It's true that I'm not feeling hostile right now.

I'm here on Zodyl's orders, but there's other things I'm after, personally.

So if you can get those things, we can skip the fight?

Well...

Beating you two would get me one of them.

What I want...

is information.

If you give me the info I want,

I'll tell you what happens if you lose to us.

So tell me.

The boss of the Cleaners...

Arkha Corvus...

Who is he?

Boss.

You know I don't like that word.

Never mind that! It's an emergency!

Four members of Akuta, including Rudo, and three members of Child

were taken away by the Raiders and are currently missing!

Gris told us.

It seems the one with warp powers from the report stole them.

Gris wants us to allocate personnel to look for them.

Please, Boss! Why won't you just wear your choker?

It'd be so much easier if we could get in touch with you quickly!

Very well.

Semiu, round up anyone who's free.

I'll figure out where they are.

I happen to know a great information broker.

You want to know about our boss?

Bundus. What are you getting at here?

Just what it sounds like.

If it's too big a question, I can break it down for you.

Hang on.

You're trying to get important info about the Cleaners

by asking something unassuming, right?

I won't tell you anything that could put us at a disadvantage.

Don't get the wrong idea, now.

I'm a strict individualist.

My questions stem purely from my own curiosity and inquisitive nature.

Nothing you tell me will get back to the Raiders at large.

It's a simple exchange of information between you two and me.

You can choose not to say anything if you don't believe me,

but until you answer, I'll be staying where I am,

and you'll be trapped here too...

until bedtime comes around.

All right.

But I'll only give the answers I want.

In that case...

What is Corvus's favorite food?!

F-Favorite...

S-Sweet stuff, I guess.

How old is he?!

No one's ever... mentioned it.

What does he do for fun when he goes out?!

I-I've never seen...

How long has he been with the Cleaners?!

I-I don't know!

Have you ever seen him use his vital instrument?

N-No!

Th-This is bad!

I thought I could skip potentially damaging questions and wrap it up quickly,

but everything he's asking is totally mundane stuff, so it's just getting weird!

Dear's starting to get restless!

I've got to do something, or he'll grow up with wrinkles!

So hard to navigate!

I'm always between a rock and a hard place.

Fine, I get it.

I see what you're trying to do.

Listen, man, I really don't know this stuff.

I guess it's my turn now.

If your side loses, we're going to serve you up to a trash beast.

I don't know if you've seen this or not,

but we Raiders have managed to successfully cultivate a few trash beasts.
