"Rattus-san, Neo-san, please hurry!" A woman said enthusiastically. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and wore a plain green yukata. She was walking in a somewhat fast pace as her wooden geta clogs made clicking sounds while she walked on the clean, tiled pavements of the city roads. "We are going to be late in meeting Guri-kun at the coffee shop. It would be rude to keep him waiting and we might not be able to reach him in time!"<br/><br/>"Bitch, why don't ya just, like, yanno, fucking run?!" A blonde-haired man berated her, with an annoyed look at his face, which was a crumpled grimace. His hair was an absolute mess, and he wore blue denim pants and a faded black t-shirt, with the logo for the band AC/DC. He was wearing his sandal shoes, which allowed him to move more freely than the woman in wooden sandals. The only thing hindering him from fully doing so, aside from keeping in pace with his two other colleagues,  was carrying a black and bulked-up duffel bag. "Ya' fucking retard, if you ain't slow as fuck, we wouldn't hafta walk to that goddamn cafe slower than fuckin' mollases. Yukina, next time, just next damn time, stop wearin' dem pieces of wood in yo' feet and get sum' sneakers, you flat-footed Jap!"<br/><br/>"Neo, we still have thirty minutes to get to the rendezvous point, so I suggest that you be at rest for now." Another man beside Neo, the blonde, said. The man had dark brown hair, glasses and wore a black double-breasted business attire. He had an expressionless look at his face, and looked almost exclusively in front of him as he walked, his footsteps marching soundlessly. He was also carrying luggage, a large travel bag.<br/><br/>"Aaaah. Rattus von Engels, veteran of many wars and highly militaristic man of noble birth, now telling me to relax and take a leisurely fucking walk at a damn city!" Neo made a sarcastic comment. "I can't believe it! You're a goddamn Nazi with a German steel rod up his ass permanently. So why are you tellin' me to calm the fuck down now?"<br/><br/>"Two reasons." Rattus replied. "First one is I want you to consider this as a first look at this city. Familiarize yourself with it first and examine if there's anything immediately wrong in the surroundings. Might this be an artificial structure under Japanese federal jurisdiction, their conditions and culture here might still be very different. After all, it's mainly a multi-national settlement meant to provide proper and high-standard living conditions for the students of the educational institution here."<br/><br/>"What is the second reason then, Rattus-san?" Yukina curiously asked.<br/><br/>"The other reason is that we have to meet him exactly in time. No more, no less." Rattus stated. "Arriving late is making him wait, but arriving too early might give him the impression that we are anticipating and we might make him think we just want to finish the meeting with him quickly. Either way is disrespect."<br/><br/>"M'kay, I take back e'erythang I said earlier." Neo said. "Ratt, you nevah took out dat gigantic steel rod up ya' ass."<br/><br/>"We still have twenty five minutes before we reach the rendezvous area at this pace." Rattus stated after looking at his wristwatch for a short time while walking, not minding Neo's comment. "Keep walking."
