Ore san...wait, wrong Rider

[A motorcycle goes across the land, finally coming to a stop at the Chalice. The Rider gets off, removes his helmet, and it's Eiji! However, if anyone met Eiji when they first picked up Shoutaro and Philip, they'll notice he seems oddly serious, and the ever-present Ankh is nowhere in sight.]

Thank you. [And he bows.] Though to be honest, I'll be fine as long as I just have a pair of clean underwear for tomorrow.

Then there is nothing to fear, Eiji! For the Chalice has plenty of washing machines and they will be able to clean even the filthiest of underwear!

Not that you necessarily have filthy underwear, but simply the Chalice's cleaning facilities are fully capable of rising to any challenge!

[For the first time since he had to set out on his journey, the biggest, brightest smile ever appeared on Eiji's face.]

Thank goodness! All right. As long as I can have a clean pair of underwear for tomorrow, I can face anything!

[make_history_chew_scenery]

That is certainly a simple but functional way to look at this!

And as a man who's made a habit of disregarding shirts, I know better than most how valuable clean pants and underwear are!

[powertotearer]

All right. Then as long as we've got that, I'll reach my hand out as far as it will go.
