Merlin your thirst

[If your name was Dazai then you might enjoy the danger of the port after nightfall. But Fukuzawa, as skilled as he was, also carried himself with a sense of practicality. He could fight his way out of trouble, but what point was there in causing trouble in the first place? That kind of effort was best saved for critical moments, like when the mafia tried to kidnap a subordinate of his and sell him to a foreign power. The fight needed to have an honorable reason for it to make Fukuzawa draw his blade so readily.

Another similarity, to someone from long ago. "The battle must be against evil" and "the enemy must be stronger than oneself" and so forth.

With a silent nod to Merlin, Fukuzawa steps out of the agency and heads down the stairs. The port isn't far away, but they will be taking the train there. Is Merlin familiar with the trains of Yokohama? Or is he going to gawk like a tourist?
