Temperance pierced through the sky over Lumios City's cityscape as he flew straight for Saigo. Temperance's eyes flinch as he felt an invisible pressure push against his body, making the speed of his flight slightly decrease. Temperance heightened the intensity of his scowl as he looked at the palm of his left hand and considered using his Dotoma Mark (the void black tattoo which forms on his right arm except for a circular gap that takes up the entirety of the back of his hand) to teleport closer to Saigo. However, before he could decide, Temperance was coated head to toe in a thin veil of dark bronze mana, and he felt the effects of the invisible pressure subside.

"Why are you being a stowaway, Kannachi?". A spot on one of Temperance's kitsune tails sharply rustled as Kannachi made a panicked eep noise. Kannachi slowly stuck her head out of the disturbed/unkept section of Temperance's tail. Kannachi puffed her cheeks as she stared at Temperance.

"I figured I should come with you given how your solo introduction with Zuki went," Kannachi stated before she huffed at Temperance. Temperance thought of responding, but as he pondered on it he figured Kannachi would have better luck than he would.

"Very well, but is this mana veil necessary, you doof?". Kannachi couldn't help but giddily smirk at Temperance calling her a doof and even giggled slightly about it.

"Depends, define necessary," Kannachi asked cheekily.

"Isn't it obvious?".

"Oh... I dunno I am just a doof after all, so I wouldn't know," Kannachi remarked snarkily as she climbed out of Temperance's tail while covering herself in her dark bronze mana. Temperance playfully rolled his eyes and put his focus back on flying.

"Just make sure to remove it before you knock yourself out," Temperance requested. Kannachi tried to argue with Temperance but she reluctantly agreed to his request. Satisfied with Kannachi's cooperation, Temperance relaxed his angel wings before he fanned them backwards and propelled himself past the speed of sound with a sonic boom.

Meanwhile, Saigo playfully balanced on the top of the repurposed radio tower watch tower with her tail using it like a kangaroo would do to stop herself from falling. Saigo's radiant ever-present girn accompanied her joy-filled giggling. (Saigo's a humanoid-short-kid-looking creature; she has light tanned skin, super long snow-textured dark pink hair with pale metalic purple, dark metalic purple and dark green metalic ends, a golden and black gradient left eye, a dark pink and pale cyan gradient right eye with both eyes having five-pointed star-shaped pupils, snow textured dark purple metalic angel wings, has pale purple ladybug wings that cover her angel wings, dark purple metalic ladybug like exoskeleton that covers her body (forearms, back of hands, her feet, legs, hips area, back, and breast areas), and a super long tail that is able to morph into various shapes with different abilities)

"The outside world is a lot more muted compared to Antie Yumi's lab, definitely more gently on the eyes," Saigo uttered in her head with a condescending tone. Saigo giggled once again followed by the watch tower shaking when Temperance landed on the watch tower's metal walkway, which wraps around the top part of the watch tower.

"Hiii~," Saigo said giddily with a childish tone. Temperance took a single glance at Saigo before he forced back an annoyed groan.

"Why is she naked too?" Temperance complained mentally as he rubbed his forehead, and Kannachi removed her mana surrounding herself and Temperance.

"Is something wrong... Mr... no you seem more like a bro material than father material," Saigo muttered aloud mindlessly as the end of her tail morphed into a hand before she had it grab the roof of the watch tower, and Saigo dangled herself upside down in front of Temperance. Temperance rolled his eyes

"Well, to be fair, Tem Tem, her exoskeleton is acting more like clothing than a part of her body," Kannachi mentioned as she poked one of the plates on Saigo's exoskeleton making it wobble and making Saigo giggle from the sensation.

"So, this is the guy Father mentioned... he was a lot easier to find than I calculated; it was certainly worth sneaking out to find him, hehe," Saigo said mentally as she stared at Temperance with childish googly eyes.

"Are you guy my papa mention?" Saigo mumbled as she stumbled over her words while she mentally screamed and cursed out her mouth for failing to function the way she wanted.

"He sure is, if by guy you mean the pushover who-" Kannachi managed to cheekily say before Temperance bopped her in the face with one of his wings.

"Knock it off, would you?". Kannachi frantically pushed Temperance's wing out of her face and gasped for air.

"Careful, your wings function like your tails minus the atmosphere part," Kannachi grumbled. She flumped backwards onto Temperance's kitsune tails with heavy eyes and proceeded to fall into unconsciousness as Teach appeared next to Temperance.

"She's more resilient than expected to be able to withstand a vacuum is nothing to scoff at," Teach remarked as he glanced over at Saigo, to see her perplexedly staring at him. Teach smirked a booped Saigo on the nose before he disappeared. Saigo mindlessly stared at the spot where Teach previously resided before her eyes lit up with glee and she swung her head at Temperance.

"Was zat you Het...su...kou Mike...t...zu guy?" Saigo said as she struggled to say the longest part of her question.

"Were you trying to say Hetsukou Miketzu Spirit?".

"Yah~," Saigo said excitedly before her expression swapped to a shocked one. Saigo made her hand-shaped tail let go of the watch tower before she dropped down in front of Temperance and apologetically bowed to him.

"Sorry, I never indoduced myself. My mama and papa gave me the name Kyūkyoku Saigo Sakamoto," Saigo stated. A proud grin grew on Saigo's face at the realisation of her saying her name correctly on her first try. Saigo raised her fist to the air, making her wings spread out and flutter about as her excitement oozed out of her. Saigo looked back to Temperance before her gaze slowly drifted from him; she tilted her head to the side and stared at something in the distance.

"Oooh, funny blue creatures.". Saigo excitedly bounced into the air before instantaneously zipping past Temperance and flying off, leaving Temperance to lostly blink as he registered Saigo's departure.

"She's... fast," Kannachi mumbled as she groggily sat on Temperance's kitsune tails while she rubbed the side of her head.

"You don't say, and I hope she isn't doing what I think she's doing," Temperance remarked defeatedly as he balled up his right fist before his Dotoma Mark formed along with a large glowing pale pink ring on the back of his right hand. Temperance snapped his fingers, which caused him and Kannachi to be covered by a veil of pale pink qi. The duo disappeared in a flash of pale pink light, leaving no one aside from the annoyed Hika-07, who didn't appreciate being completely ignored.
