Good.

I'm going to have to ask you to... Expound, on what happened, though.

We discussed things. Like her interests. And I criticized her for being a run down lazy slob and how unacceptable that was.

Especially when she was out in her underwear half the night.

... Wait, she was what? Why?

Because she was giving some trollop squeeze of a thug we dueled clothes to wear. Said trollop then tried to stab me and some Angel bitch showed up.

... Oh dear, that sounds... A lot more troubling than I would have expected.

Can you describe this angel? Why did people duel you?

Marie the Fallen One.

Because they wanted our non-existent money and then our clothes

Marie the Fallen One... Did they mention anything that struck you as odd?

She was muttering about some lord Asmodeus.

And she threatened to turn Shiroko into that floozy with her squeeze we dueled, if Shiroko tried to strike her again.

Mng... Asmodeus... At least she...

Oh right. Asmodeus. The asshole with the letter.

Tired of this. And yes, she pulled her fist away.

... Mmm. I want to respect Shiroko. But she's... pathetic, currently.

Yes, him. I'm very annoyed at the fact that he's cropped up again.

I'm aware. In fact, I've recently heard of the extent you wished to go to... Shed light, on her pathetic state.

He's like some omnipresent troll.

... I had every right.

A very dangerous one.

Would you have every right, though, to force me to accept the results if she had lost? Because I'll be quite honest, Suzume. If anyone, not even just you, made that sort of bet or deal that involved me, I will have outright ignored it.

I am glad that you both are safe. I am glad, as well, that you have helped to motivate Shiroko, and that you do want to respect her. But... I am not very happy that such a possibility was there.

It was protecting you from yourself.

Suzume.

Stand in my shoes and LOOK at her!

As I have agreed with you, yes, her current state is pathetic. I have pushed her to take a job, because I do not tolerate inactivity or lulling. I expect her to do better with herself, not only in your eyes, but in my own.

Do not take me for a blind fool, Suzume.

You should discipline her more. She's a useless cog as she is now, and I cannot stand my majesty dealing with some shallow girl wasting her potential if I can correct it!

Then she will be disciplined. Like I said, I expect her to do better with herself. The past few months are a reprieve for her, but now she needs to do something, and decide what she'll do with her life, outside of pro dueling.

... Which reminds me, what do you have planned to do, yourself, Suzume?

Well, I want her more disciplined.

Eh? I'm doing college.

And what do you plan to do after college? Do you know yet?

Military related work. It's a family tradition. Either that or take a job with my parents' business.

You?

Interesting.

I plan on focusing first on Pro Dueling, then I may actually... Look into a bit of politics, actually. I might think of going to a university in some time.

... Interesting. Never figured you for politics.

Something tells me it will be useful for me to know more about the field.

Oh?

Not even... Considering, my unwilling position in life, I feel that knowing how the world works specifically, as well as learning more traits of a leader's role, will come in handy to me in a long-term scenario.

Ah.

I can lend you some books I have if that'd help.

It would help, yes.

Okay.
