[ 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. )

[ poor urinal-kun.. ]

I would have preferred a more boring life over this, but it's not like anyone gets to pick.

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ I peety him. ]

Oh, c'mon now! If you lived a boring life, you'd get bored!

[ video ]

[entreats]

And if you live an exciting life, you end up dead soon.

[ not that she particularly minds that fact - she welcomes death by now - but it's the truth. ]

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ wow, the sensitive subject of death comes up yet again. see ange-chan this is why you're in hel with all the weirdos. ]

Yeah~... definitely morbid.

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ y u p.. if Ange would realise Hel's theme is morbid stuff and death rather than idiots, she might understand much better why she's in this house. ]

It's just the truth. No matter whether you call it morbid or something else.

[ a w w poor little thing. big bro Hijiri'll educate her! ]

I don't know~ It's not like there aren't any instances of boring lives being rather short.

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ Hijiri onii-chan.. teach her.. ]

Well, there are. But there's a much bigger amount of 'exciting' lives being short.

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ it's time to learn about big things! ]

That just sounds so jaded! I mean, how do we even decide what 'exciting' is?

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ hijiri onii-chan's big thing..? ]

The only thing we can say for sure is that it's the opposite of 'boring'. I guess the rest would depend on the person, considering I find a lot of things less exciting than others would.

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ it's the biggest thing...! ]

Hah~, so maybe it's just an issue of Ange-chan being too jaded?

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ iyaaaan, it's so big..!! ]

In what way am I supposed to be too jaded? [ even though it's spot on.. ]

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ yes... now, let's break you in!! ]

Jaded in that the only things Ange-chan finds exciting are downright life-threatening...?

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ breaking in?!?! ]

I fell off a building once. There wasn't anything really exciting about that, and I'm pretty sure most people would consider that life-threatening, right?

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ breaking and entering! ]

Mm, it'd depend on the height of the building, probably~

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ iyaaan hijiri onii-chan isn't that illegal?! ]

I'd say about skyscraper height. I didn't bother to pay attention to the number of stories that place had.

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ don't you like it when your onii-chan is a bad boy?? ]

Hm~ Though, surviving that could say that it wasn't all that life-threatening to begin with...

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ a-as long as it's gentle... ]

Some people might consider it a 'miracle', but I'm more inclined to agree with you, I guess. Or maybe you could even call a person who survives a fall from a skyscraper unlucky.

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ that wouldn't make me much of a bad boy... ]

Under a certain definition of 'luck' and 'miracle', maybe?

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ but i don't know if i'm ready yet for a real bad boy.. u//u ]

Then what exactly would your definition of a 'miracle' be?

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ you need to grow up some day... :>>> ]

Mm...~ a 'miracle' is just 'something you didn't expect to happen, so you just call it a miracle to save face for your own lack of foresight', right?

[ video ]

[entreats]

[ why does today have to be that day?! ]

... I have to say that's not a bad definition of it at all, yeah. There's no such thing as what people would usually consider a miracle.

[ video ]

[predicting]

[ because there's no time like the present!! ]</small. Man, I nailed the definition? Bu~t, I don't know~ Aren't unlikely occurrences pretty common?

[ video ]

[entreats]

That would depend on your personal circumstances, right? My entire life has practically been nothing but a chain of unlikely occurences.

[ video ]

[predicting]

Mm~ I can see how someone with that sort of life would think of 'miracles' that way.

[ video ]

[entreats]

After a while you just don't get surprised anymore, I guess.
