Cinq South Section 5 Director: Don Quixote's Story

Ah! Please, come thee hither!

The child strode through the alley, excitement clear in her eyes. Following closely behind her was a woman with a small notepad in her hands.

W-wait... But the purpose of this interview was to learn about the kind of jobs that the Cinq Association would take?

Thou art learning, at this very moment!

No, we're just taking a stroll through the alleys...

The woman, fidgeting with the notepad, was growing increasingly and visibly disappointed.

When she landed this interview, she was excited at the prospect of learning more of the Cinq Association's work environment, which has remained rather obscure until now...

And here she was, tagging along to this director's leisurely afternoon stroll about the alleyways.

Tsk tsk, thou art yet to understand!

Yet the child's nonchalance was unrelenting, as she grinned and wagged her index finger at the woman.

I ask thee! What dost thou think the primary function of the Cinq Association is?

Well... it's a dueling association, isn't it?

You fight duels in your clients' stead... and stuff like that, right?

Ha ha! Forsooth, thou art indeed yet to understand!

...You're not about to tell me that you seek out evildoers to duel them in the name of justice, are you?

It's not like you guys are pretending to be 'bringers of justice' or anything like that. There were reports claiming that you had some odd delusions of grandeur, but that'd be preposterous.

I mean, you couldn't possibly have gotten so far in this industry with such a childish philosophy, right?

Ahem! Khm...

She coughed as though the interviewer had touched upon a sensitive subject, but responded confidently.

Patently not... of course. I must say, mine motivation was something of a more practical nature.

As they walked out of the alleyway...

Two people, surrounded by a large crowd and appearing ready to throw down, came into view.

What is this...? Was there a request?

Nay! I have relayed what request there was to other members of the Association.

Then what is...

Dost thou see now? 'Tis too commonplace an occurrence, kerfuffles such as this, in these alleys.

Thus~

I-it's the Cinq Association!

O-oh boy, am I glad to have one of you here! Lemme request you to duel in my stead!

Wha- Oh, you cheeky little... M-me, too!

Now now, calm thyselves! Now explain-what hath transpired here?

Hearing what the two had to say, the child took off one of her gloves...

Ahem. Then mine client has been decided!

And hurled it at the one standing opposite of her.

There are rules and etiquette to proposing a proper duel!

I cannot forgive thee, knave, thou who holler with nary a care for such things!

Agh... You son of a...

Alas, I must wonder what part of this noble duel request irks thee so.

Now step aside, dear interviewer!

The child drew her sword from the waist and readied herself.

Allez!

The duel ended swiftly, with the defeat of the one that had been slapped by the glove.

Amazing... Such haste!

This was naught to be amazed about. Ah, Make thy payment for the request to this address.

The child handed a card to the profusely bowing client before returning to the interviewer.

Heroes fighting in the name of justice... Indeed, such a notion may appear childish in the City.

If performed in the form of "business" such as this, however, they consider it a real result worth counting.

And that is my compromise. What say you, is it still a childish delusion?

With that, she smiled radiantly.
