El Shaddai's 2nd manga serialization

[umbrella_angel]

... You'll never let me live this thing with me using the Gale down, will you?

[Nope. Never.]

... I should have guessed as much.

Comments

[warriorscribe]

I wish I could dodge them so nimbly.

*Nope. He's lithe for a bulky guy, but not enough to pull that off.*

[umbrella_angel]

Then you'd have to listen to comments like "swaying hips like Patrick Swayze" or making references about Swan Lake...

[Atta puppy scribe, he didn't get what this had been all about.]

[warriorscribe]

What...?

*His hips already sway too much when he runs... Oh well. Better talking about this than the content of that chapter.*

[umbrella_angel]

... Right. You couldn't know about these things.

Either way... it's another thing my mun added to her list.

[warriorscribe]

Right...the list. I think my mun keeps it too. Always about you, though...

*Not always! You have apologizing to books and jumping into situations that can get you killed!

Also, monocle.*

...I don't remember most of those, you know that.

*But on this side of the fourth wall, you know they happened.*

....

[umbrella_angel]

I think she's doing a good job keeping one for you too. And Michael.

[The Fourth wall knows it all.]

We're getting reminded of all these things on a daily basis, aren't we.

[warriorscribe]

*A pause where his curiosity battles with propriety.

Curiosity wins.*

...Ah, out of curiosity, what's on mine and Michael's lists?

[umbrella_angel]

[Why doesn't that surprise him.]

On your's there's the ones your mun listed then "puppy scribe", for she claims you always act cute. I think the term "gap moe" might fit more than that nickname though. Then... right, "Cannon", from the novel. The rest worse than what I could ever come up with.

As for Michael... loving convenience stores, apparently cute things as well. Brother complex, which is ridiculous in my eyes. Archditz. Bad timing, since he seems to have appeared in someone's shower...

[warriorscribe]

What in the world is "gap moe"?

*Also he's pretty sure "Cannon" is what he was doing at the time, but...the less they talk about that the better.*

[umbrella_angel]

A person having completely opposite traits which apparently makes them adorable.

[The less the better, yeah.]

[warriorscribe]

Completely opposite traits? I don't understand...which of my traits are opposites?

*None, by your cultural standards...*

[umbrella_angel]

Considering that this term comes from the modern age that would be you looking buff but being cute. In the eyes of the muns.

[warriorscribe]

*Just as he's about to say it makes no sense, he realizes it makes even less sense than it first seemed.* Doesn't "being cute" cover the "adorable" part, regardless of my appearance?

[umbrella_angel]

Honestly, I wouldn't know.

[warriorscribe]

...It's a strange word anyway. I'm not certain I like the sound of it.

[umbrella_angel]

Neither do I. When my mun was told what kind of people usually use these words she was more than stunned.

[warriorscribe]

It sounds...childish. Is that the sort of person who uses it?

[umbrella_angel]

Apparently.

[warriorscribe]

Childish people... Well, I suppose a childish person would believe some things are opposites that aren't...

[umbrella_angel]

Let's not dwell on that topic.

[warriorscribe]

*...Okay. He's not certain what it is that's made Lucifel uncomfortable about this, but he'll stop.*

...All right.

[umbrella_angel]

... I am honest, I don't want to know what the next chapter will be about.

[warriorscribe]

I think we already do know.

...I suppose it's good I never met you that way. Or is it bad?

*It's hard to say. On the one hand, he never had a death scare (other than probably freaking out a little when being told he would be taken to Heaven. Who had told him that, anyway?). On the other, he and Lucifel really got off on the wrong foot in their timeline.*

[umbrella_angel]

Sadly.

Neither start has been perfect...

[And silly mun made mistakes.

[warriorscribe]

True...but I think there's always going to be a little difficulty between us at the start. It hardly changes what it becomes, after all...and I won't remember it in the end, anyway.

*Well, unless his memory comes back on further ascension, but still. Not his canon point, not his problem. He emphatically does not want to deal with what comes after his little adventure (except maybe the downtime, that does sound nice).*
