Shanks:
Phew, sharp as a whip. I'm afraid I can't keep up with you anymore.
Adda:
Master Shanks...
Shanks:
Don't look so sad, Adda. You should be happy. I'm sorry to say I can't test your skills in my prime... But I believe you've far surpassed me in our art. I'd wager to say you're number one these days?
Adda:
Yes.
Shanks:
You know, you should quit while you're ahead. Get out while you're the best of the best.
Adda:
Just leave? Like you did? But that would mean...
Shanks:
I'm sure you could handle it. Besides, I always did find it a shame. You were always unapproachable despite your beauty, which has also improved along with your skill... Why not find a man in this army and... settle down?
Adda:
Master Shanks! W-What you ask of me is impossible. Also I refuse to speak more on the matter!
Shanks:
Haha... Suit yourself.

///B
Adda:
Master Shanks, why did you leave?
Shanks:
The clan? I had enough. Simple as that. You'll understand one day, Adda. You have too big of a heart. I always thought that. It is amazing you are where you are now.
Adda:
...
Shanks:
The assassin's life is a lonely one. We have our comrades, yes. But you'll notice everyone you bonded with... goes away. That is if you don't die before they do. I just couldn't take it anymore.
Adda:
... You did seem different after your last job.
Shanks:
This is why I said get out while you can, Adda. You're in peak form. No one can stop you. Do it before you become a lonesome prune like me.
Adda:
...
Shanks:
H-haha... It appears I've become too serious. What a shame... I've got an easy going old man persona to maintain...
Adda:
But Master Shanks... Why you left...

///A
Adda:
Master Shanks, when you left the guild, that sealed your fate.
Shanks:
That's right. No more beating around the bush, eh?
Adda:
The punishment for desertion is death.
Shanks:
That's what I told Yutei before I killed him.
Adda:
...
Shanks:
Yutei tried to leave because he had awoken to justice. He found no fulfillment in being an assassin anymore. Yutei, my best friend...
Adda:
...
Shanks:
So what will it be, Adda? From the moment we met in the burned city, you knew you had to kill me. Will follow the code of our clan and destroy me?
Adda:
... I will decide your fate after this war is over. To turn on an ally now would only strengthen the enemy.
Shanks:
Mmm, but of course.
