Someone who calls himself a surfer… are you a person of the sea or a person of the land… What are you? A fisherman is a man of the sea, a dentist is a man of the land. So which are you? You seem to be a man of the sea… but your daily life is based on the land isn’t it…? That is, your part time job is on the land. I do not enjoy that which crosses boundaries. Inside Out, Outside In… just make it clear. Nothing in between. You are uncertain. You are just pretending to be a man. I doubt you can make a single decision. Prove to me you can make a choice. Eat your fingers and prove to me you can make a decision.

Yasuho-chan, you looked in that direction and said something to me. Yes… you said two things actually. “Electricity spills out and flies into the sky.” “Even if there’re no holes in the power lines.” Yeah, don’t you remember? You’d said how it went from that utility pole over to the next house. I thought of you as a goddess. That sounded like the words of a goddess. And then i had an idea, and brought it in to apple. I brought it into huawei and softbank, too. “Electricity flying in the sky” the idea of making a mechanism for electromagnetic induction that can charge something without an electrical outlet. I even filed for a patient on it. Nobody’d ever thought of it. Really there’s nothing out there that lets you charge something while it’s in your pocket. But when i brought the idea to them, those companies all told me this. Except the chinese company, they just laughed at me. “There are lots of people out there in the world thinking the same thing at the same time.” “That idea’s just a step too late.”

There is good and bad luck in this world. That’s… something I’ve been told. There are situations where if you’d gotten somewhere one second sooner. You might have been in an accident or avoided an accident. Or you met or didn’t meet someone important when you went somewhere. Situations where the result is good or bad. And the cause is good or evil. There are situations like that… so I’ve been told. But that is a misapprehension. A societal misunderstanding caused by large numbers of people living together. Once you clear away everything extraneous and view each individual in individual situations, what we find existing around us is simply strength and weakness. There exist simply the strong that survive and the weak which are destroyed. Those two, and nothing more. And you see… Tsurugi understands that. As the eldest son of the Higashikata family, he understands what it means to becomes strong. And now, the Higashikata family is in the process of becoming even stronger.
Whether the climate or the era we’re in changes, or if the rules and laws of society change… For whatever cruel enemy has set foot on the Higashikata family’s land, we are without mercy. Because we always get our hands on strength.

Did you perhaps… Come here… Intending to ‘Pursue’ me? I see… So you are pursuing me… I understand. So then, the lid of this jar, have you tried opening it? What I’m saying is… Simply looking at that jar from the outside, you wouldn’t know for certain that what’s inside it is a ‘Fruit’, no…? Isn’t that right? Though it certainly seems to be fragments of ‘Something’… But looking from the outside, those may be potato fragments… or perhaps onion fragments… it may not look like an onion… but that definitely looks like it could be a large mushroom! How can you be so definitive in saying that what’s inside that jar is a ‘Fruit’? I’m explaining the fact that you ‘Opened’ the jar. Because you received that package, you opened the lid with your hands, you ‘Smelled’ it. And it’s because it gave off the sweet and sour scent of a ‘Fruit’… that you came into this room thinking it was a ‘Fruit’. You got all excited thinking ‘I’ve got an exclusive scoop here’, didn’t you? And then… you perhaps got some fruit juice from the lid stuck to your finger. Just a little of it. Or perhaps you were careless and licked that finger. If fate were particularly unlucky, there’s a rather good chance that when you were putting the lid back on, some fruit juice seeped into a small cut on your skin or your fingernail.
