Watanabe thought that Ichida Masahide had surely gone mad. Since that Chinese high school kid was not afraid of death and wanted to be the pioneer, Watanabe thought he could let him become cannon fodder. But why was Masahide rushing forward? They had been colleagues for six years, and Watanabe never knew that the cowardly and timid Ichida could be so brave.
"Did I wrong him? If we can go back, I'll definitely give him a raise." Upon seeing Ichida stepping forward, attacking the special agent in black with his electromagnetic rifle fearlessly, Watanabe felt a surge of adrenaline and wished he could fight alongside Ichida.
Even though he was almost forty, Watanabe's spirit had never waned. He didn't want to be looked down upon, especially by foreigners. He couldn't lose face in front of them.
