A few minutes after Andre had come in, he had a seat and was pouring a drink for himself "So, I heared what you said, about the drive knight and stuff.". He gobbled down his glass of wine, crossed his legs and explained with a straight face "To be honest, that sounds like trouble. A few missions ago, my students were sent to go take care of that Hornets Web Cult or whatever its called, they came back and said it was a total mess until they got there as back up. If a mere war mission was that hard, then it's obvious this one we're about to face is extremely intense.", Laria then asked "So, what do you suggest we do?", Andre just smirked "Hm, simple. We all know how the Knight Kingdom/Country can be. Powerful, deceitful and brutal. It's obvious they're calling for a fight, especially against us, the City of Kagahara. I say we purposely fall for their trap.". Laria then responded with a slightly disappointed look on her face with crossed arms "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. How does someone purposely talk smart to build up a plan, and then go for the easiest option to get killed?!", Andre sighed with a defeated smile "Laria, all this years as your friend and precious teammate, and you still treat me like scum. You're really breaking my heart.". Laria stretched her hand with a mechanical circle appearing "Keep that attitude up, and I'll do more than just breaking.". Reggie sighed and explained "Andre's got a point there.",Ranpo blinked as he looked at Reggie, Laria turned to him with confusion "Huh? You can't be serious.". Reggie then explained "There isn't any tactical side to this. If we send soliders and assassins to sneak into the base that we spotted the machine being made In order to destroy it, we could end up in serious trouble and the mission would fail. The best thing to do is to storm in there with force. And to be honest, most of the plans Andre comes up with are actually smart. Nine out of ten times, they work well.". Andre teased Laria "See, Laria? Even your husband agrees with me.", Laria popped a vien "I fucking hate you!", she muttered with violence. Ranpo then asked "Okay, I get the plan, but i still have a question. What if there is something else the scientists in the base of that wastelands are hiding, like another threat that is just as strong as the drive knight they are building? The second question i want to ask is, what if another threat storms into the city when we're gone?". Reggie responded to Ranpo with a head tilt and a smirk "Are you kidding me? Ranpo Senpai, you do realise that we have Lord Fugaku, right? If anything were to happen, he'd take care of it. And plus, we have you, [RANPO THE POWER HOUSE. ALSO KNOWN AS THE IRON GALANT.]Both you and Kojin, that (MANAICAL BEAST OF DESTRUCTION!) should be able to hold down whatever comes to invade.". Reggie nodded his head "Yeah, yeah. Not to mention Suzuha's insane *HELL FIRE* and Ralfold who's also a chaotic beats almost on par with Kojin in terms of destructive energy.", Andre then added with a smirk "Yeah, and this city's got me....", Andre's face twisted with a deranged smirk covered with yellow lightning along his hands, he started to remember himself as a teen where he faced off against a 938 foot tall mechanical hydra "Don't forget I was the one who took down the hydra those Knight Kingdom bastard sent at us that time. When it comes to bringing terrifying thunderstorms, you can't just forget about me.". Reggie then responded with a casual tone "Well, didn't you almost die in that fight?". Andre paused for a moment with his psychotic smile still in place, he yelled at Reggie as he dragged him by the shoulders "I DIDN'T ALMOST DIE YOU CRAZY CYBORG BASTARD! I LITERALLY OBLIDETATED THAT THING! DIDN'T YOU SEE?!", Reggie while being shaken around with an uninterested facial expression responded while picking his hears "Hm? You sure? Coz I remember watching that fight and I saw you get blasted on the stomach at least FIVE TIMES!!". Andre yelled out once again " THAT NEVER HAPPENED! WE DONT TALK ABOUT THAT! WE DONT TALK ABOUT SUCH TRAGEDIES!". A few moments later, Andre was on all fours while facing the ground "Ahhh! I hate it when cringe tragic moments come to mind. Now I can't get it off my head.", Laria then exclaimed with slight annoyance "If a drop of tear were to so as much too touch my floor, I will give you something to cry about.", Andre muttered again "Laria, you're so mean..!". Ranpo got up from his seat "Okay then, I'll be off. I'll tell the rest about our plan..", Andre yelled with annoyance "HEY, IT WAS MY PLAN TO BEGIN WITH!!", Ranpo then proceeded to wave as he left the house. Reggie then told him "I'll send you the date of when we're supposed to go on the mission. Got it, senpai?", Ranpo gave him a thumbs up before walking down the stairs of stairs. Andre also got up "Okay, that was fun. So, I don't mean to pry, but what of your son, Sughi? Who's gonna take care of him while you're gone?", Laria responded "Reggie would take care of that.". As Andre was about to leave, he said out to Reggie "By the way, i want to tell you something. Reggie, you tend to look down on yourself a bit. It's not like you don't know what you're capable off, it's the fact that you tend to overestimate your opponent's just so you can feel ready....", he turned to Reggie with his left eye glowing with yellow lightning and with his hair turned into actual lightning "Reggie, you should learn to take things as they are. Don't overestimate or underestimate, just do what you're meant to do. You got that, [BERSERKER]?", Andre turned to leave the house. The door behind him closed once he left, Laria turned to Reggie with slight annoyance and confusion, Reggie on the other hand had a straight face until he turned back and smirked deviously. "HM! It's not like I overestimate things coz I want to be prepared. I look at things higher than they are so that I too can go as nuts as I want to without having to go through any draw backs.", Reggie walked into his corridor that led to his room. Laria looked at him for a while before sighing with disappointment "Ah, I'm surrounded by psychopaths!"
