Day 27 - [Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[That might be one of his least favourite experiment effects, and Kouki wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about it once he’s returned to normal from his kidnapping effect. He have nothing against Abel himself, only what the shepherd’s significance mean to him as the King of Bel.

He would’ve accepted it just simply, but it seems like those Malnosso scientists was still insistent on learning about it. For whatever reason, the very fresh reminder of that part of himself was on his mind.

Had things went differently for Abel, his life would be different. But the past is past. He have to deal with it, yet again.]

[By the time Kouki address the journals, his familiar cat ears-like headphones are on his head and his black wings are back.]

Okay, I’m back for real. [As some can probably tell from how he speaks and the lack of ye olde accent.] Kouki Wakahisa, back to normal from the experiment I was under for the past week. If you talked with me during that time, thanks for putting up with me.

[Now that’s out of the way, there’s something he want to ask. It’s something he’s been meaning to do and it would be a good distraction from the past week.]

By the way, does anyone know about spells for animating inanimate objects? I'd appreciate any info and help about it.

No, not at all! She was being very good, I actually had a little fun with her.. [ she giggles, only a little awkwardly. ]

I just wanted to make sure she'd at least be alright for you.

[de_bel_survivor]

Thank you, Kaname-san.

I'm glad you took care of her. Maybe I should hire you the next time I went away?

[Like on a mission. Or get kidnapped again.]

[happyends]

[ as long as it's not as a maid. ]

.. Hehe, it'd be better if you just didn't go away again.. I was a little worried. [ especially when he came back all sort of.. weird.. ]

[de_bel_survivor]

[but his meidos...]

Yeah. I'll try not to leave next time... [Awkward pause.] And I'm sorry for the trouble last time.

[You know, when he's Abel.]

[happyends]

N.. no, it's fine! You couldn't help it, and.. um.. i.. it was a little weird, but it's not like it was necessarily a bad thing! [ She just got really confused, mostly. ]

So it's good as long as you're back and alright now.

[de_bel_survivor]

[As long it's just that. The Abel thing was a sensitive matter for him.]

Yeah...thank you for your concern, Kaname-san.

[Let's move on from here, okay.]

Is Kotone with you right now?

[happyends]

Uh-huh. She's with me in the house where Yoh-san and I live. [ Thankfully Yoh hadn't really minded having her around.. otherwise she would have had a problem. ]

Do you want to come pick her up?

[de_bel_survivor]

Yep. I can swing by and pick her up. Where do you live right now?

[He didn't see her around the apartment lately, so maybe she moved?]

[happyends]

Um, it's in house 35! It's really close to the clinic, in case that will help you find it more easily.

.. Sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, but.. that friend of mine asked me to stay with him, so it all happened really suddenly.

[de_bel_survivor]

It's alright, Kaname-san. Living with a friend is always better, so I wouldn't mind your decision.

[If it weren't for Hiro, Kouki would have move out or find a roommate when Atsuro left Luceti.]

[happyends]

[ .. Hmm, he did say something about someone being gone before, so.. ]

You're not living alone now, are you..?

[de_bel_survivor]

No, I'm not. I have a friend staying with me right now.

[His announcement last month was for his best friend. Hiro is a good person, but he's not Atsuro.]

[happyends]

Ah, I'm glad.. for a moment I was worried you'd be all alone, and.. w-well, that'd just be sad, right? I don't think anyone should be alone in a place full of people like this, there's always someone to be friends with.

[de_bel_survivor]

I know...it's always easier to live with friends than by yourself. But if [when] my roommate ever leave, I can always ask for roommates or move out.

[It's always possible for Hiro to leave, just like he can. It's just a matter of when.]

I know plenty of people here, so I'm not exactly alone, anyway.

[happyends]

.. Ehehe, I should've known. [ she nods a little to herself. ]

I already thought you were the popular kind of person.. seems I was right.

[de_bel_survivor]

Nah, I'm not that popular.

[He can list some people who surpassed him in popularity*. Like Haruhi or Masaomi.

* Reasons for said popularity not accounted for said list.]

[happyends]

.. Huh? But you are, aren't you? I mean.. having a lot of friends you can turn to when you need it is definitely a sign of popularity!

[ but it's madoka, so she can't proclaim it sounding that sure about herself for long.. ] .. I think.

[de_bel_survivor]

That is one thing. Popularity means lots of people know you, whether you know them or not.

[happyends]

Oh.. So you don't think a lot of people in the village know you?

[de_bel_survivor]

That's right. There's still some people I don't know, but they've been around for a while.
