[It's a day after the explosion of Spring and superpower exhibition, and Pyro's just sitting in -

- well, it's a new room. Bigger, more homey than the dorm-style rooms of the God Houses, and his candle number appears to have doubled to compensate. The light is still flickering and uneven, but it's much brighter than it was during his broadcasts from Baldr. Anyhow, those who were there to hear him rant and rave about Freya being spared and Freyr being saved might think he's appeared to shit all over that party, but he's staying quiet on that front for now. (Who knows how many psycho kids one of them might have, after all.)]

Since we're so big on Democracy here, thought I'd put something up to a vote.

Instead of random surges in our powers that have nothing to do with anything, how about the gods put their heads together and see if they can gather up enough strength to make the powers work outside the city? Y'know, where most people are actually being attacked and either dying or coming close to it?

It's just a thought.

[He's still sore about his near-death experience during the weapons expedition, but no one needs to know that! There was the big freakout about the blonde girl not coming back for so long, after all; this could all be about her.

If you don't know Pyro at all, anyway.]

...there was nothing...that could have saved her. She...died shortly after, I believe.

[As for the younger man's words of wisdom, Soushi will silently listen to him as he began to slightly agree with his way of viewing it. He is uncertain if Ririchiyo had forgiven the other Soushi of the time, but there had to be a valid reason behind his decision to not end his life. That man would have done so unless...]

...to move on? I agree. To forget the committed sin? I do not believe I would be able to. However...I do agree with you about allowing my guilt to take control of me. It will definitely become a weakness and hinder my current abilities. A SS cannot lose their resolve and courage, if that is the case. [All of his words might be lectured more to himself than anything else. That's why he will quickly lighten up.] Your wisedom is truly boundless. Thank you very much for offering wonderful advice. I sincerly appreciate it.

[As for the rest, Soushi will remain quiet as he simply listens to him.]

Correct. You're still within this world by relying on your courage and street-smart, I presume. [But still...] Even so...you're not alone neither, Pyro-san. There might be those that treat you as an enemy or pawn, but you are not entirely alone neither. There are those who can be of use to you. [And he stops there because...let's not make this into a not manly fest. Even Soushi has some pride as a male, and he has his own reputation to protect from a certain Doctor.]

[He's still not sure if Soushi is making fun of him sometimes. Everything he's saying is totally right, sure, but - no one's ever praised him so lavishly. In the end, he just decides to nod smugly.]

That's about it, yeah. What's an SS?

[The second part makes him hesitate at first - is this going to be a friends and loved ones speech? - but the last line brings on a smirk.]

Don't worry, I never forget that. And I know how to find them.

An SS is the name of the line of work I dedicate my entire being towards. It is known as a Secret Service Agent. A bodyguard, would be the best way to describe it as. I am the bodyguard and "dog" of my master known as Ririchiyo Shirakiin. She recently moved into the apartment complex a week ago back in my world.

[Now that he was done speaking of his work, his formal tone turn will disappear as he listens to the last words of the other. Good. He did not turn this whole ordeal into a friendship speech. He will follow Pyro's own way of speaking.]

Excellent. Then I do not have much to feel concern about. However, if you do have any trouble looking after any complications, then do let me know. As my job duties entails, I do have a talent to clean my master's messes. [Which he means to say: You need any help to clean up a mess, then let him know to make that mess literally disappear.]

Secret Service? [He's at once impressed and disgusted, until Soushi explains what it actually means. Then he's just disgusted] You actually answer to "dog" as a job description.

And what kind of messes are we talking about here? [Is he protecting a serial killer? This guy gets weirder every second, but also much more interesting.]

Only if it is for Shirakiin-sama. I only allow myself to be her "dog" as I only wish to serve and protect her from the bottom of my heart! I believe a dog is the most loyal creature of the animal kingdom, correct?

[Then at his question, Soushi will just lightly chuckle.] The kinds that you believe I need to clean. [In other words, it is any kind of mess Pyro needs cleaned. He won't go into the specifics as he does not wish for the public to know of it.]

Yeah, sure, but they also lick their own balls. I'd come up with a new title.

[Creepy, but... who knows? Could be useful.] Alright. I'll keep you in mind.

What kind of title would be most fitting for someone in position if not a dog? [He could not help begin to wonder over it too.] What else is as loyal and devoted as a dog towards their master?

[Then at Pyro's acceptance of him, Soushi will feel pretty happy.] Thank you very much! I am very honored by it.

I'd start by cutting out the animals completely. Just call yourself a servant or something. Still pretty lame, but not totally pathetic.

[His recommendation will have him chuckle lightly. If Pyro only knew the true reason for playing such a role...]

I'll keep it in mind as future reference. Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful thoughts, Pyro-san. It brings me nothing but everlasting joy whenever someone like you offers such kindness to someone like myself.

Right. [That'll never stop weirding him out.] Lemme know what you come up with, alright?

Understood. I will definitely do so.

[And he will never stop from offering compliments after compliments because it is difficult to not find the positive traits from others even if they are well-hidden. It is his talent, after all.]

Is there anything else you need, Pyro-san? Before we end our conversation? [After all, it would be rude to end the call if there was anything else.]

Nah, I'm good. See you around.

[No offer in return, and he disconnects. lmao, whoops.]
