The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.
Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.
Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.
It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again.

It's okay, she won't mention it. The secret will die with him.]
Aww, but the fancy stuff is fun! Although I haven't been wearing mine, either. I like climbing trees too much to get it all torn up.
[Looks like the only one horrified here is Bakugou...]
Nah. Even if I go back, it'll be the same.
I'm an Ironblood. Claire and Lechter and Gramps, they have jobs to do. They don't have time to play with me.

Millium has now achieved Social Rank 6 of the Strength Arcana: Secret Keeper]It's a pain in the ass to do anything in clothing like that.
[ But, one time Kirishima had gotten him to wear one set. ]
Ironblood? That has something to do with that thing you mentioned a week back, doesn't it?
no subject
Yeah, I get you there.
[But to the other topic:]
Yeah. It's my job. We work for the Chancellor – Gramps. ["Gramps" is probably not actually her grandfather, then, if she hasn't already told Bakugou that.] Claire's captain of the Railway Military Police, n' Lechter's the head of the Intelligence Division. My division.
So... we all have pretty important stuff to do, but especially them.

If I actually can find my tablet pen nothing will stop me from doing a parody doodle]Doesn't sound like this 'Gramps' of yours is your real grandfather.
[ She certainly has not, as of yet, but now that she's said it like this, it doesn't take much for him to figure. But now that she's told him this, he's curious about something else.
Sure, the answer might be obvious, but it's better to know than to assume sometimes. ]
Tell me something - you actually like being a spy? Is it something you want to do until whenever?

Huh? Yeah, no, he's not. He's our boss, I just call him that. I don't really have a family, not like you guys do... most I've got is Al, my "sister," and that's only 'cause she's a part of the same series.
[She doesn't sound upset at that, per se, but... wistful, still.
But... hm. That's not the first time she's been asked that question, but...]
I mean, I like it okay, I guess? [She pauses, and her voice softens. Honesty.] ...I liked being a student better. But... it is how it is, y'know? I'm an Ironblood, 'til Gramps doesn't need me anymore.
[She doesn't outright say "no," but that's certainly not a "yes."]
