Oh, damn it. Badd just had to mention that, huh? It looked like a ton of stuff would be coming out tonight regardless of his efforts, or at least in the near future. Wonderful.
"H-hey, hey!" Niikura played as if he'd been caught in the act, stumbling back a step as Shiina mock-shoved him and waving his hands at her as if asking her to stop. "It wasn't like that! Geez, you're makin' me look bad here, Nagasawa." She did have him pegged, though, although, it was as if he liked making people nervous...okay, maybe a little.
And then, in the nick of time, Mike showed up. Niikura nearly sighed aloud in relief; he wasn't sure how much more he could've stood waiting. "Ya better be sorry," he told Mike with a grin and then punched him solidly in the arm. (Two...sheesh...he was still on that?) "We've been waitin' here for half the night already, y'know.
"Anyway, okay, quick introductions: Badd-san, Mike-san; Mike-san, Badd-san--he's volunteered to help us out tonight, by the way. Evens out the age disparity pretty nicely, huh? Thank me later." Yup, he was ready and pumped now. "Let's get goin'!"
HUZZAH
