[ Not just ineffective. After some of them, Chougi even seems worse than he was before them. Which is probably why he hesitates at the request. ]

Direct? Are you serious?

[ Haku, where exactly are you planning on stabbing him? Nope, Chougi doesn't like this at all. He's not a huge fan of the thoughtful look on Haku's face, either, not entirely sure how to translate it. Nor how to translate the fact that Haku actually attempted to explain, when he's never needed to before. Not with Chougi anyway. ]

...Fine. You haven't tried it yet so fine.

[ He shrugs out of his jacket and starts unbuttoning his shirt. ]

But I don't want to turn the direct method into a regular thing, okay? Getting stabbed in an emergency is bad enough.
