first at-bat [video]

[yoghurts]

[ as the video turns on, you're treated to the sight of a confused looking young man. something that must surely be a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for a protracted period of time... though this one seems perhaps a bit more dazed than most. ]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[ despite his confusion, he manages a weak smile. his voice sounds rather calm, all things considered. ]

Let's see... I'm supposed to introduce myself, right? My name is Satoshi Houjou. It's nice to meet you at all.

Um... what else was there? Sorry, this has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure what to say. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or am I one who's supposed to be asking questions right now? Hm... Can anyone give me some advice? Introductions sure are difficult. I'll do my best to pay you back when I can.

Oh! But we're saving the world, aren't we? Ha... that sounds pretty hard. I've never saved a world before, either. Well, I'll do my best.

I'm not really sure, but people have been telling me about it.

[ his shot in the dark was a bullseye... ]

[entreats]

It's a ridiculous concept, so you'd better just forget about it again. [ ange, don't just randomly tell people what to do.. ] It'll just make you seem like an idiot if you throw around that word too much. Like that Aoto guy or something.

[yoghurts]

But wasn't there an entire cafe for it? [ seems too important to just ignore, ange... ] Still, maybe you're right. I shouldn't talk about it too much until I really understand it. Hm... this is tough.

[entreats]

If you want to know more about it, go ask Yozora since you apparently appreciate her opinion that much. [ butthurt? ange? never. ] She can probably tell you more about it than you would ever want to know.

[yoghurts]

Oh, that's a good idea! I'll ask Yozora-senpai. [ sorry ange, he's not really capable of picking up your subtle butthurt... ] She must really know a lot of stuff, huh? [ you are praising her, right... ]

[entreats]

[ how will he ever survive in the world.. oh, wait. ]

When it comes to ridiculous stuff, she's the expert. [ an insult and a compliment at the same time. ]

[yoghurts]

[ he's not sure whether that's an insult or a compliment but... being an expert at anything is probably good? ]

What about for not ridiculous stuff...?

[entreats]

Then you might want to go and ask someone else. I can't exactly give many recommendations though.

[yoghurts]

What about you?

[ you seem very not ridiculous, ange. ]

[entreats]

[ well, thank you for mentioning it, satoshi.. ]

I wouldn't mind helping when it comes to non-ridiculous things, I guess. [ no tsundere help here though.. ] You don't seem like a complete idiot, so it wouldn't be a pain to deal with.

[yoghurts]

[ not a complete idiot, huh? how nice of you, ange... ]

Alright then, I'll be counting on you. Thanks a lot, Ushiromiya-sama. You're really kind after all.
