Something like that! My main job was teaching other people to be soldiers, though!
[She had nothing against being a soldier, but she much preferred the Instructor Corp. But does a soldier or teacher earn more points in a young boy's eyes?]
That was before Cerealia, though. Now I'm a contract bodyguard.

I think that a pet helps take care of us, too. It isn't hard and it's very rewarding.
[Do it. No peer pressure or anything.]

[Naoki watches the photographer stammer something, something about not knowing what he's talking about, and Naoki hums a disappointed sound from behind Sayo.]
Don't think that's the right answer.
[--but, if revenge-driven tanto there looks like he's about to go for cutting, Naoki'll step in.]

[He nods, before he thinks about it.]
Find one to buy? Do you think we can find a cheap one here? It seems like they might be expensive.

[Far, but not too far? So he have to hold back his strength. After weighing the ball a bit - it's fairly light - he nods and get ready to throw.]
Ready and... go! [Throws! Look at it go!]
Ready and... go! [Throws! Look at it go!]
[From here.]
Gone. It... happened to me before. [Normally, he wouldn't believe it so easily. But considering his status as a tsukumogami? It's a very serious thing to worry about.] It's like... it wasn't in your body until now.

[But he's weak to peer pressure.]
Alright... If I take care of it, I need to name it.

[Maybe a little. As a sword, it's easier for him to acknowledge a fighter's strength, either in swords or firearms. He haven't try fighting against magic users yet, so he doesn't know how to gauge it.]
A contract bodyguard? [That got his attention.] As in... bodyguard for hire?

[It's not good enough. Sayo step closer until the tip of his sword is touching the photographer's clothes.]
Are you sure you don't know?
[Yes. Yes, the photographer is really, really sure.]

[Yes. Yes, the photographer is really, really sure.]
[ And Kousetsu will keep the large beasts at bay. His sword slashes quick and deadly without so much as a pause in its mark. Kousetsu may hate it but when he has to he will do what he must to keep his family safe.
They'll eventually break out of the horde, his blue eyes scanning the area for anyone familiar, Souza in particular. ]
I...do not see Souza anywhere. We should look for him.

Yup! I haven't really had a chance to start work, though...
[Nobody seemed to want a bodyguard. Maybe she had to advertise more aggressively?]

[ And the robot fox chases the ball over and under the equipment and furniture in its way! When it comes back, it practically charges at Sayo and TACKLES HIM, happily showing him the ball once it's lying on his chest. ]
Hahaha! ...Are you okay? I think she liked that.

[Souza. He frowns and nods, looking around the area. He need to get higher to scout better above all of these people and creatures.]
We should. Did you see him earlier?
[The last place Kousetsu saw Souza at... it's a possible lead, however small it might be. Souza might have moved on since then.]

...No one hire you yet?
[Maybe she's too new. Or doesn't advertise herself enough?]
[Maybe she's too new. Or doesn't advertise herself enough?]
No one. Well, I half-expected this. Only really rich people hire personal bodyguards, and those kind of people only want the best. I'll need to start making a name for myself!
[The fox's tackle surprised him and he almost shoved it off him. He's moving his hands to grasp the robot fox, only to stare at her looking so happy at him. His grip loosens a little around her body.]
...I'm okay. She just...startled me.
...I'm okay. She just...startled me.
...Good luck. People would want a well known or powerful bodyguard to hire and if they can afford it.
[He holds his blade up for a while, before he finally lowers it. But he wouldn't sheath it just yet.]
Then someone else might know.

Thanks, Sayo-kun! You're a sword spirit, so I guess you know how to fight, but if you ever know anyone who needs help, try to point them my way, okay?
Now, then. [She picks up the boy by the waist and hops high into the air, going a few metres above the crowd.] Is there anyone you recognise?

[He slowly nods, before she picks him up.]
I'll tell people about you.
[No reason why he shouldn't. He looks down at the crowd, trying to pinpoint the familiar pink or light blue hair of his brothers.]
...No. I don't see anyone yet.

...I'm Sayo Samonji.
[No proper answer? That'd be bad, since there's no way to properly inform his comrades against this and form a counter-measure.] Alright. But it'd be better if I do get an answer from them.

Thanks, Sayo-kun. How sweet of you! Well then, let's do a loop of the hall and try to find your family, and if they're not here... We'll figure something else out, okay?
[Nanoha is all smiles as she floats above the crowd, generally ignoring all the attention they were getting as a pair flying over everyone's heads.]

[ She leans in and laughs because he looks so confused. It's cute. ]
She's just excited! I guess we shouldn't let her get used to that... but we can always program her not to do it. What do you think?
[ Do you want to keep the fox this way, Sayo? ]
