The mystery of the Vertexes - 3

[Hero club room]

Se: 3-minute Vertex cooking!

Ta: Te-re-re-te-te-te-te! Te-re-re-te-te-te-te!

Se: First, we capture a Vertex that looks edible alive.

Y.Y: The ones that look like fishes work the best!

Se: Then we cut open its belly, take out the intestines and fillet it in three pieces. All that's left is to cook them on a charcoal grill!

S: And don't forget the salt.

F: What do the Vertexes have to do with this? You're just talking about cooking fish right now.

N: Fish, huh... Now I'm suddenly craving some. I miss deep-fried gurukun...

N.W: Hm? What's that? Could you tell me more?

N: It's an Okinawan fish. It's not very big, but pretty nimble...

S: Ah, if I had to choose, I'd want to eat a nimble one too.

K: A nimble Vertex... W-What, that bipedal one!?

Se: You mean the Vertex that stole Chikage's swimsuit when we went shopping for them?

C: *visible anger*

S: It does feel pretty intelligent compared to the rest, so maybe I'll get smarter if I eat it!

C: It's not intelligent. It's just perverted.

K: You don't want to become a pervert, do you?

S: But did it really steal the swimsuit with dirty motives? Didn't it just mistake it for food?

Se: If there are intelligent ones amongst them, there are bound to be some with wicked thoughts like that.

F: Instinct or intelligence, nobody wants to have their swimsuit stolen.

I: D-Definitely.

C: There's no way a Vertex could have intelligence... It probably just mistook it for food. That's right, for certain.

T.Y: Okay, let's just stop talking about that Vertex!
