The girl in the silly hat sits across from me. The tea I set out for the both of us is probably cold by now.

That doesn't matter. What matters now is getting her to understand that I'm not her enemy!

"No." She smiles at me, bemused.
Then she sticks her tongue out at me.
"Pbbtbbbpptbt."

She might be a little hard to convince to come to my side.

I am Itsukuma Masami, and I may have just bought myself a little bit of time. Asai has escaped from his prison! I don't know where he's hiding in town, but I do know that the goliath he's planning to use as a weapon is assembling itself. It's a stone titan made entirely of the bits and pieces making up Fortune HQ, if this girl across from me is to be believed.

Speaking of which, I'm fairly sure that this girl meant to stop me before I got too close to Asai. Her form in the real-world is that of a very scary and condesending clown. Fortunately, I happened to make a card that is able to bring both of us to the other world. It puts her in a human form, just so we can have a talk, face-to-face. I'm really glad I made this card, now! Maybe my original plan for it, to make Asai into a human, isn't as far off as I think it is.
If I can just convince this girl that fighting Asai is in both of our interests, maybe she'll let me go. Or better, maybe she'll help me find Asai!

"Now." She props her feet up on the table. "Let me go. We have a fight to finish, Masami!"

Or, maybe not. She's not going to be an easy case to crack.
