Boom......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions echoed across Haelinx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a pile of garbage on an unnoticed street corner, a hand emerged, followed by a head popping up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So noisy this early in the morning! Can a guy get any sleep around here——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"??? Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the scene before him, Monroe’s head filled with question marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, where am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped to his feet suddenly, sending garbage scattered all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell! Why am I sleeping in a garbage heap!? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly climbed out of the pile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>brushing off the trash from his clothes while muttering angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which bastard threw me in the garbage! Once I find out, I’ll teach them a lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, wait a second......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he ranted, Monroe suddenly froze. Fragmented memories from his drunken stupor began to resurface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last night, I was drunk...... and then......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That bastard——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me all along——!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mocking himself for a moment, he suddenly paused again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait——! What time is it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......Has that Luigi guy’s match already started?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panicked by the thought, Monroe quickly brushed off the most obvious garbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No time to waste here! I have to hurry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off running, deciding to ignore his dirty clothes for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he’d barely taken two steps when he came to an abrupt stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is going on......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him lay a chaotic scene shrouded in smoke.
