I sure hope so.

Because I really don't know how to feel fighting against someone like you. I know I can fight but not against a demon hunter.

Huh "Demon Hunter Denji" sounds like a pretty badass title huh? Way better than 'Public Safety Devil Hunter, Private Sector'. Too many words, sounds stiff

But isn't that technically what are you?

If you fight devils, you fight demons. Although, I'm not sure if that makes it any better.

It's the 'public safety' stuff that makes it feel kinda stuffy and official. The first one sounds like real superhero stuff.

I'm not sure a superhero would randomly ask people to fight him....

How many superheroes have you met?

...None but it still counts!

does not. besides im right here askin! how do superheroes get stronger if they dont train, huh?

But not where they ask people to fight! Doesn't that seem a little off putting?

Aren't superheroes supposed to be heroic?

never seen ultraman invite somebody over for tea and snacks, dude im plenty heroic! girls put their phone numbers on TV hoping i call! cant afford a phone tho

...I think that would be the different kind of superhero.

Not too sure what to think about that.

[Stop destroying his mental image of what a good hero is supposed to be!!]

Huh? Are you a kid or sumthin?

[………]

Yes, I am. I hope that won’t be a problem.

ohhhhhh it explains a lot, but yea, a little bit. sorry. im not an asshole, im not gonna swing at a kid, but if you wanna meet a superhero, im what you got right now.

...Should I be happy about that?

But I don't mind you getting into a fight with me. I'm used to it.

used to it? you live in a rough neighborhood or sumthin??

You can say that.

[And a whole of things but we don’t talk about that in public.]

oh. well there's 'used to it' and agreein to it. im not gonna fight a kid who is just 'used to it'. we can just go get sumthin to eat and call it a day.

You sure?

I really hope you're not underestimating me because I am just a kid.

wait you're not gettin what im sayin at all, huh? maybe i misread or sumthin you just fight people regularly is what you meant yea?

Not really?

More that I'm used to fighting supernatural creatures?

OHHHHH OK nvm, let's fight, dude forget i said anything else

That was a fast turnaround! I thought I was going to try to convince you!

But where do you want us to fight?

im in the center of town, i think. lotta people here look you fight monsters and thats badass, i wanna see what keeps you alive, im curious

I'll be there shortly but...

I wouldn't say fighting monsters and fighting them is a good thing.

[Please don't tell him he is meeting yet another person who has a thing for fighting.]
