Nice to meet you. [ He offers Koujaku a firm nod, his usual chipper mannerisms starting to return as they slowly make their way to Lily's home. ] I'd only wish this was under better circumstances.

[ And he realizes that he's been saying this a lot nowadays. Certainly tells him a lot about the efficiency of this CERES... ]

I'm Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, the spirit of Date Masamune's sword. [ Again, leaving out the 'favourite' now. ] Call me Mitsutada.

[ When Koujaku thanks him for helping, he just cracks a smile. ]

No need to thank me, I'm just doing my part to watch out for each other.

[ Lily is his friend, too. And he's not going to let her suffer in this kind of place. ]
