You should be careful what you wish for, Ibuki-kun.

Huh? Doesn't everybody here want the same thing?

Everybody? Hmm, I wonder. I'd really doubt that's the case. Either way, if your other options are to be left to die or brought somewhere... well, maybe you're complaining about the wrong thing.

That's what it looked like to me, with these people being horrible and all that. I guess maybe it's not "everybody".

[He doesn't need to talk about dying. Not now, and especially not with Okita.]

[Probably not, but he did bring it on himself with that generalization.]

They are pretty troublesome, aren't they? Maybe we should just kill them and get them out of our hair. [Not that he thinks Ibuki has the stomach to do such a thing.]

[Hopefully, his flinching won't be as noticeable as it feels.]

You can't do that. You should know by now.

[It's noticeable, which makes him snort derisively before letting out a sigh.]

It'd really solve a lot of problems, but I guess it'd only make fifty more, huh.

[Acting naturally is kind of difficult right now.]

So you can be reasonable sometimes?

I don't know what you're talking about, Ibuki-kun. I'm always reasonable.

[...Okay, so his definition of reasonable is a bit warped.]

[A bit, sure.]

That's not a very funny joke.

Who said that was a joke?

...nobody. I thought it was obvious.

[He lets out a laugh.]

It's pretty hard to tell with Ibuki-kun sometimes.

What is that supposed to mean?

I'm sure you can figure it out! [Also known as "he has no intention of telling and just wants to antagonize him a bit."] Surely you're capable of that much, hmmm?

[He just sighs. Because, honestly, there are no right answers here.]

Yeah, sure. Whatever.

So your mun has no plans for you, Ibuki-han?

[...oh. Well, this is unexpected.]

Not really. Keeping me around makes no sense.

[She chuckles a little.]

It seems they have grown an unexpected attachement to you.

[He can't really imagine why somebody would get attached to him.]

Maybe, but...I doubt that's a good thing.

They have not thought about putting you into an awful place yet, right? [Or so she hopes for him.] That's at least something.

I guess...

[That's a weird way of caring for someone.]

But hey, are you alright? How is yours treating you?

My mun is having no plans for me either. She's just throwing me out there every now and then. I guess that puts me into a similar situation.

[Ibuki feels sort of relieved when he hears that.]

And this is the less horrible one, from what I've heard.

Yes, I heard there are some horrible places that force you to do certain things. [Things she'd rather not imagine yet.]

The place itself forces you?

[That's a new one. A very unpleasant new one.]

Yes, the workings of the place do. My mun plays in one place where a mysterious mist makes you do things you usually would not do and in another where everyone gets a collar and it tightens unless you have... [And she looks away, embarrassed. She didn't really want to speak it out.]

So things don't just happen around you? A mist that makes you do something sounds worse than I thought.

[He tilts his head.]

..."you have"?

Yes, it influences your behavior. It can get rather nasty at times.

[Don't make her say that.]

That what you accused me what I would do for money, basically. [Her response sounds slightly snappy, but she isn't really mad with him for that anymore.]

[...

He'd say he just wanted to know but. Damn, this is awkward. Especially for the way in which she says it. Ibuki will focus his attention on the ground under his feet for now.]

I-I apologized for that, remember?

[Also, her mundane plays in a game like that? This is so Not Okay.]

[Her face softens again.]

Yes, of course I remember, Ibuki-han. Please lift your face again.

[Sorry, Kosuzu, but he won't look at you even after doing that.]

I just wanted to be sure. And your mundane playing in those places is...

[Horrible. He frowns, shaking his head without finishing his sentence.]

Be careful, okay?

[When she's really not mad at him anymore, though it makes her smile as well. It meant he was really feeling bad for it, right?]

Thank you for worrying about me, Ibuki-han. I will be.

[She's thanking him with a smile. This is a bad moment to finally look at her in the eye, because now he's feeling nervous.]

Ah, well, it's just...it sounds very dangerous. Nobody should have to go there.

[That is totally adorable and her smile brightens a bit.]

I think the same. I would not want to be forced to do that. It's the same for Ibuki-han, right?

[Is this revenge or does she enjoy getting him flustered? Maybe both?]

Y-yeah, of course. I don't know what kind of people would be okay with that. Especially with the collar part.

[A bit of both, really. She chuckles once again.]

Well, a few womanizers might not mind it too much. Though I hope then you will never end up there either.

I'm safe for now. You don't have to worry about that happening.

[He's a guy, too. Even if he ends up in such a place, it won't be too terrible. Or at least, that's what he tells himself.]

That really is good to know. You did not seem to be a fan of the redlight district anyways.

I went there with Serizawa-san. Can you blame me?

Not really. He is not much of a pleasant company. I would certainly not mind if you visit me again, though.

Just be patient! Your mundane might have a lot of fun in store for you!

[Chizuru will forever remain optimistic, even if her mundane has done nothing but prove otherwise. ;A;]
