"Rentaro is going to assassinate Aldebaran behind the Gastrea lines?
That's certainly his style. Since it's his own decision, shouldn't we respect his resolve?"
Back at the Cursed House, World and Hina quickly told Wood what they'd heard from the Police Officers that night.
They had their own little reasons for telling Wood. They wanted him to help Rentaro.
Or, more accurately, World and Hina wanted to help Enju.
World and Hina had a great relationship with Enju; the three of them usually gathered like sisters, whispering secrets.
For World and Hina, who were used to being alone, Enju was their first friend their own age. That's also why they'd secretly gone to help the Police Officers fight the Gastrea, without telling Wood.
But the mission Rentaro had taken on this time was far too dangerous. Assassinating Aldebaran could be a one-way trip.
Enju and Rentaro were partners in the Police Officers, and given their relationship, if Rentaro put himself in danger, Enju would surely follow.
World and Hina didn't want their friend Enju to die, so they came to Wood, hoping he would act alongside Rentaro this time.
"Brother Wood, you and Rentaro are friends, right? Are you just going to watch him die?
And Enju is my first friend! I don't want to never see Enju again. I still want to watch Tenchu Girl with her."
Seeing that persuasion was useless, World immediately grabbed Wood's arm and resorted to acting cute.
Hina, though not good at such things, imitated her.
"Rentaro's actions are his own choice, and Enju's desire to join Rentaro in this dangerous venture is her resolve.
Even if we help him eliminate Aldebaran this time, next time he decides to fight Aldebaran one-on-one, there will still be danger. Should I help him defeat Aldebaran then
