"I'd say he's already paid his respects. And then some." A voice cut right through the beginning of the boy's demand. "So, why don't you just take the compliment of his choice in food and move on?"
"Wha--who the hell are you!?" The gang's energy which had been at a simmer erupted into a full crackle at the interloper's cool rebuke. They spun around to face none other than Teru, still in his school uniform. "Ah, so you're from Black Vinegar, huh!? Then chances are you might know a thing or two about how this street works over your little Saltie friend--"
"I politely request you show him some mercy."
"Eh!?" The leader released Mob's head, turning to fully face Teru. "Now why would I bother doin' that, you no-account pipsqueak--"
"Because he's the one granting you mercy. Way more than your tiny brain could conceive. So why don't you do the honorable thing and follow his lead?"
