That earns a huffed laugh from Yoshitsugu. He watches Midnighter shove himself into that group and make his own bold declarations, setting off a metaphorical fire; the fight immediately draws in startled glances from across the marketplace. Yoshitsugu himself crosses his arms and takes in what he sees.

Those are excellent dodging skills. It's not hard to spot Midnighter's smile either, and Yoshitsugu decides that this man would get on very well with that powerhouse he knows back home, Maeda Keiji, whose enjoyment of a good fight was famous.

He'd counted Keiji's knockouts in a fight once. Now he readies himself to do something similar.

"Within five? Ha."

Today was proving to be even more interesting than expected, Yoshitsugu reflects, watching and waiting with clear amusement for the first fist to hit home.
