[ Greetings, Asgard! Looks like someone set off their bracelet at a bad time, if the angle on the feed is any indicator. From the look of things, some sort of battle’s just come to an end, as a pair of combatants (one visibly sweating and the other absurdly relaxed....) come into view. ]

Eh~ Those guys were pretty tough, huh~ [ This is coming from the one who doesn’t seem worn out in the slightest, naturally. ]

Hmph. Like you’re one to talk — you didn’t do anything beside stand on the sidelines like some kind of mascot. [ Here, her tone seems to give off the feeling of a mix between irritation and exasperation. Honestly hijiri... ]

Hey now, I was only letting Chiyo-chan serenade me with her strength~! [ If he realises how... ridiculous that sounded, he doesn’t really show it... ] Thou~gh, I like how that sounds! Do I get a cool mascot outfit?

Ah, I must’ve worded that incorrectly. You were more like a burden on the sidelines. ... Honestly, you’re such a troublesome guy.

I help in my own little way, right? Bu~t, if I’m a burden, I’ve really got to thank you for bearing me! Chiyo-chan’s so kind~!

Hah, don’t misunderstand. I was just making sure those pesky things didn’t cause trouble for anyone else. [ Although this does warrant him a mumbled: ] You’re welcome.

Oh, I see... [ Insert what may or may not be a chuckle!!! here ] Then, I should change out that ‘kind’ for ‘thoughtful’, is what you’re saying?

Hmph. [ The viewers may notice here that ririchiyo has gone on her hmphing mode. ] No need.

It’s not really a matter of need.... So then, I amend my statement to ‘Chiyo-chan’s so thoughtful’.

[ He thinks for a moment, before giving a light shrug. The more observant viewer might catch him make another quick look round to see that they’re both safe... but that’s about all the effort he’s going to show. ]

Hm~, maybe I should talk about your sudden fighting prowess too?

Wha— What are you blabbering on about with words such as ‘prowess’? Hmph! Could it be you weren’t expecting this from me?

Hm... not really! [ HE SAYS IT IN SUCH A SHAMELESS WAY. ] Most girls your age don’t do that sort of thing, right?

[ A pause before — ] ... I’m not like everyone else. Hmph, how rude of you though. To think you’d lump me in with the rest of the girls my age.

Oh no~ I said something silly, didn't I? Please, accept my apologies! [ It's impossible to tell if he's being sincere or stupid, as always ... ] But yeah, Chiyo-chan’s a special case, that’s for sure.

Let’s just see if we can sort the rest of these things out. How something so tiny could be so troublesome, I’m not sure.

[ He chuckles lightly, giving Ririchiyo a lopsided smirk ] Since it’d probably make my apology a little pointless, I’ll avoid the obvious joke here, okay?

Wha—!?

[ Aaaaand leaving off at that embarrassing point, the feed cuts off mid-sentence! ]

( Dark green is Hijiri and dark purple is Ririchiyo. Both of them will be replying to threads but one or the other may be slower than than rest of us. /sideyes herself. )

Somehow I'm not entirely surprised to see that guy being so useless.

[patronizing]

He’s completely useless.

[entreats]

Why do you even bother to keep him around in that case? It's just like dead weight, right? Got to discard it eventually.

[ insert inner flashback here where it’s portrayed in chibi format. as if finding something comically difficult, she turns her head to the side with a look that clearly says ‘kill me now.’ ] That guy is impossible to abuse. He’s like some kind of overenthusiastic puppy.

video;

[entreats]

Even overenthusiastic puppies can be kicked if they're annoying enough. [ she knows from experience, 'sup Amakusa.. ]

You just have to will yourself to do it a little more than you'd usually need to.

[ but ange she wants to be a nicer person, not the opposite.. ] Ah, is that so? Hm, then I suppose I’ll have to use stronger methods than usual.

video;

[entreats]

[ sorry ange is the most horrible person to ask for advice.. telling her to resort to punching in the face would be her usual kind of it.. ]

And what kind of methods would you consider, then?

video;

[patronizing]

[ ange is the worst person to ask for period advice too hahaha. ]

Hmph. Wouldn’t it beat the purpose if I declared it over this? [ and next to him, don’t forget that. ]

[entreats]

[ runs off crying!!

for a moment she's just.. quietly staring.. and then, with the same lineface as if she's completely serious about it, she speaks up again. ]

You could directly demonstrate it like this for me.

video;

[patronizing]

[ (waves)

and consider that lineface returned with a lineface before she does HMPH!! just with less exclamation marks. ]

If you are so desperate to see what it is, I suppose I have no choice but to demonstrate it. [ but ririchiyo all you’re going to do is insult the guy, it’s not a new tatic but she turns to hijiri and ange may or may not hear ririchiyo say something like 'go back to your owner' or along those lines. classy ]

video;

[entreats]

[ no you're lying she clearly used three exclamation marks just now!! and wow that just now was the most classy.. she'll have to remember it for use on amakusa. ]

Oh, I see, so that's your strong method.. I bet it's feared far and wide. [ okay no that was definitely deadpan rather than serious. ] He must be shaking on his legs.

[predicting]

Hey now! The mascot character is never useless!

[ video ]

[entreats]

Ah, so that's what you decided your task is? Standing at the sidelines and cheering on other people while you do none of the work?

[ video ]

[predicting]

A mascot's work is very important work, I'd say. Tho~ugh, no-one ever seems to appreciate it...

[ video ]

[denies]

It's since everyone is too busy actually working to pay attention to the lack of work the mascot is doing.

[ video ]

[predicting]

You might have a point there...

In that case, I'm making a character change to 'the one that never does anything other than smile and make cryptic comments and yet is still loved by the fanbase'!

[ video ]

[entreats]

What sort of fanbase is there supposed to be for you here? No, moreover, do you really think people will love you for being completely useless?

[ video ]

[predicting]

There's always one, right? It's no doubt an endearing character trait to some girls!

[ video ]

[entreats]

If they want to have something cute that can't actually do anything, they should just go ahead and get a hamster instead already.

[ video ]

[predicting]

Ah, so cold! But on the other hand, does this mean you find me 'cute'?

[ video ]

[entreats]

... Sorry, I should have clarified from the start. The kind of 'cute' I'm aiming here at is the kind of seriously useless and needing help that certain other people might find cute in some weird way.

[ video ]

[predicting]

Mm~ I don't really fall under the 'needing help' part of that, and there's no need to look down on those people as 'weird'!

[ video ]

[entreats]

Of course you need help if you're jut going to stand around and be useless. The monsters will have you for breakfast like that.

And.. well, I'm really curious as to your reasoning on that latter part.

[ video ]

[predicting]

That's what 'companions' are for, right?

Hm~ It makes perfect sense to me...

[ video ]

[entreats]

Companions are for being eaten? [ okay, no, she knows what he meant but she's just pretending to misunderstand.. ]

What a noble role, sacrificing yourself like that.
