Kei was down in the dumps as he had failed on proposing several times now. He was always a meticulous person, that was the only thing he was proud of being amongst the superhumans in the Mercenary Club. Yet now he was failing so horribly over and over again.
'If I'm having trouble now in just giving the ring, how am I going to deal with married life, and with Emi no less?... I already tried my best but I guess I was never fit for her nor was I fit to be part of the Mercenary Club.'
...
Kei was feeling a bit depressed since after failing to propose and losing the ring again, he had read an article about the Mercenary Club. The article focused on each of the members of the Mercenary Club.
When Kei read the article he was once again reminded of how absurd his friends were. On the other hand, when they got to the part about him it was lackluster compared to the others. Kei looked at the article again and sighed.
