Three figures came running toward them.

Ebisu asked curiously, "Why are you guys here?"

Before they could answer, he pushed up his sunglasses and suddenly looked enlightened.

Then he looked them up and down as he said:

"Say, you guys didn't come here to learn the Flying Thunder God from Captain Minato
