Seeing the Captain-Commander's somewhat strange attitude, Asano Kiyoshi felt a little puzzled. Still, he followed the Captain-Commander's instructions, pulled Nel—who was still eating—along with him, and headed for the door.

Then Asano Kiyoshi and Byakuya began chatting idly.
Byakuya handed Asano Kiyoshi a
