"Uu." He muttered, while looking aimlessly at the surface of a herb tea he is drinking. The cup is still full, and it's about to become cold. "That Ryu person has read my letters, right?"

After the stadium event, he looked around everywhere to look for where Ryu usually hangs around. To help with the effort, he put multiple letters with the same content EVERYWHERE. "Well, I send out the letter everywhere I know, so he must have gotten it."

He also bring in a few leaves to his table, for his insects buddies to munch on. "Ladybug the Twenty-first, does it tastes great?" he talks to himself, looking at the ladybug that is happily munching on the leaf.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Yep, Ryu did see the letters. Most, if not all of them. The wandering warrior didn't have a specific place to hang out aside from his home, so...he managed to obtain a lot of those letters. Thankfully, he already obtained the Lightning Badge and had gone to receive the 'extensive training', so he had free time. Reaching the square, he...noticed his stadium opponent after a little look around. He waved at Sig and walked to the bug boy's seat.

"Mind me?" Ryu went on to ask as he settled his bag on the ground and sat onto the opposing side of the table, so he could have eye contact. "I seem to have left quite an impact on you if you wished to meet me again so early. Is it something you wish to discuss?" The street fighter asked the bug boy.

[Deleted]

Sig's eyes shined. Ah, Ryu is here! "Hello, Mr. Ryu. Nice to see you received my letters. You can take a seat here." He offered a seat near his table, "Oh yeah, don't mind the leaves, they're for my friends."

... Oh wait, what did he call Ryu for? He tries to think of one. "Well, remember when I told you we want to chat someday? Well, I kinda want to do that now." Ladybug the Twenty-First looked at Ryu from the table, and then looked back at Sig. "Ladybug the Twenty-First, meet Ryu, that person who kicked my butt a little while ago." Hearing that, the ladybug flew to Ryu's nose and slap it with its wings.


"No, Ladybug the Twenty-First. He's a nice guy." Sig aimlessly tries to get his ladybug to stop slapping Ryu's nose. "It's not nice to treat guests like that."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

So Sig didn't knew exactly what to talk? Nothing surprising, but it would make talking slightly more troublesome. The bug boy introduced the fighter to a particular ladybug, which soon flew to his nose and began to...'slap' its wings on it. Ryu wasn't particularly bothered by the fact that ladybug, but his nose was getting a bit itchy....Moments later, Ryu would quickly turn his head away and let out a quiet sneeze. Maybe he turned his head as to not blow the ladybug off.

"I see you're the bug collector type." Ryu commented as he observed the table and recalled himself of Sig's Hydrangea. "I wish I could take you to Gouken's dojo. It's situated on a high mountain, so you could probably find some exquisite insects." He said, remembering all the times he spent on his master's dojo training...

[Deleted]

The ladybug flew off Ryu's head, feeling uncomfortable after Ryu let out a sneeze. Sig then tries to understand what Ryu said.



"... Gouken's Dojo...? You can find bugs there...?"

Then, he tries to process his brain to what Ryu is saying. Sig immediately widen his eyes a little, sipping his herb tea.


"Bugs learning martial arts? That's really cool. I want Ladybug the Twenty-First to try learn some martial arts thing too." Sig is really interested in this dojo, apparently thinking bugs can kick some butts, and he get a stare in the eye from his ladybug. He then noticed the waiter walked over to his table with a cup of herb tea on his hand.

"Here you go, this is all of your orders, correct?"

"Yeah, thanks."

The waiter nodded and stroll off he did, Sig quickly said, "Oh, that tea is for you, by the way. I already payed for it." Sig doesn't really have big cash on him, but it's enough for two herb teas.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ryu couldn't help but chuckle lightly as Sig expressed a wish to have his pet ladybug be taught martial arts due to a misunderstanding. "Hehe, I've still yet to meet such bugs, but I'll be sure to warn you when the time comes." He reassured the bug boy. Moments later, a waiter brought tea to Ryu, something Sig already paid for. "My thanks." Ryu spoke to the boy as he took a sip of the tea. "By the way, I wish to correct a mistake that spread whilst our battle. I...do not use magic. What I use is Hado, my fighting spirit."

[Deleted]

Sig does show a few signs of surprise when he found out that Ryu doesn't use magic, "... Spirit? Hm. Spirits is pretty similar to magic, you know. I have the spirit of a half-demon and that's how I got my own magic."

He sips on his herb tea, "Magic starts wth their spirits. Or maybe you're an exception? Because I saw a battle aura within you."



"If it's not really magic, then I understand." Sig pulled a smile, "It's probably something else that I don't know. I want to ask my teacher about that."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ryu was quietly sipping his tea as Sig talked about how magic seemed to come from the spirit as well. Or at least it started there. Hm, there was more to it then he understood, it seemed. "I see. I cannot blame you for thinking that Hado could be magic if magic itself works almost the same way." The wandering warrior spoke. "Perhaps Hado could be considered magic in your world? This planet is a clash of many different minds and ideals, so it could possibly be the case at hand."

[Deleted]

"Yes, it is magic in my world." Sig replied with a nod. The ladybug got bored of their snack and flew into Sig's messenger bag.

... Speaking of worlds...




"I live in a place called Primp Town, where most people with spells live." Sig said while looking at his now-half empty cup of tea, "I wonder what your world looks like. Maybe there's also bulky people like you?"

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ryu had finished his tea whilst Sig replied to his question. Hado being considered magic...what an interesting outlook on life itself. "Ah, I see." Ryu commented quietly as he let his tea cup rest on the table. It was already empty, by the looks of it.

"...Well, yes. There's a lot of people who are just as strong or stronger than me. However, you may already know that there's more to strength than just muscle." Ryu said, moving his hand forward before pointing at Sig...well, his heart, to be more accurate. "A person's strength is not drawn only from body, but from soul, mind and heart as well."

[Deleted]

"I see." Sig replied, "My place is not much of a difference than yours. There are strong magic users and some magic users on the same level as mine. There are demons, dragons, humans, talking fish..."



"But we do have the weirdest occasions happening." Sig sips on his tea, "Like when you play a Puyo battle you can get teleported to some other dimension."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Ryu nodded in understanding at...all that Sig said. "I'm no stranger to mythical creatures or different worlds myself, and I do not speak only from experience of this planet." The wandering warrior stated. "I've been to various places. I've trotted the globe I'm from, and then entered various alternate dimensions and other planets. Each and every place filled with the most curious opponents." he continued. "My journey was quite unique, if I do say so myself."

[Deleted]

"Ah," Sig listened to whatever Ryu said, "I travelled to dimensions too." Sig commented, sipping on his herb tea, which looks like it's almost empty.


"I've been to a town that looks like they have tall rectangular buildings, and then I got warped into a book once." Sig said, "It's pretty cool, I got to meet a few more friends." He gently pulled out a bug capsule, which is full of different kinds of bugs, "Yeah, I do have a collection from those worlds too."

[TheSpatialWeeg]

"I see. Your passion for bugs really is almost the same as my passion for fighting." Ryu spoke, glancing away fro the bug boy for a few seconds. Barring the fact the two things were completely were completely different, both Sig and Ryu had rather similar approaches to it. It didn't matter where they were, they'd do what they like.

"I have a question." Ryu suddenly said. "Do you think that such passion can ever dwindle, Sig? Is the fact that you have a chance of no longer enjoying bug catching...worrisome to you?" the wandering warrior asked the bug boy. "Do not think I'm trying to imply something, this is a question of genuine curiosity."
