[Mikado watches Kida, and he has to agree, that the smart move for Ikebukuro's safety, is to be rid of this problem. If he doesn't hand Kida over Fate will never stop pursuing Lucky, and Dollars will be caught in another gang's war.]

Ah...

[He closes his eyes and lets his head thunk back against the couch, thinking silently, and also aloud.]

It certainly would be stupid, to keep your secret. Fate won't stop until you can't threaten them, and your existence is really... Enough to stir up a war. Dollars has always survived cautiously, handing you over would be the most prudent. Even kicking you out would be fine.

[He puts a hand over his eyes.]

If you'd shot me of course you wouldn't have this problem. It would have been been the most prudent to kill me, and it was very stupid to leave a witness, don't you agree? Now that I know you want to take over the organization--well many people have had that goal, but I never thought until now that anyone seriously had a chance.

If you faced the leader in combat... I know he wouldn't be able to win. Well, not just going on your reputation, I know what he's capable of better than anyone.

....In the short term of things, it'd definitely be less trouble to hand you over. But I don't plan to. I actually think there's a possibility of using this situation well, but I can't say I know you well enough to be confident. Actually, it's a gamble even considering it, but will you hear me out?

In the end you might end up shooting me after all, though. But I want to tell you a secret first.
