incredibly nervous voice-testing...

[professionalstudent]

So you are nervous, Mundane-kun. I see! Such feelings are normal when you try your hand at a new task! Even I get nervous sometimes, hahaha! [Ah... Was that supposed to be supportive? It was more awkward than anything else.]

But you shouldn't let yourself discouraged before you even really begin! You simply have to try your best and work hard! Remember, giving up gets you nowhere!

"It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop!"

[I don't think the exclamation mark is really part of that quote...]

That's not the point!

So your mun is new at playing you too, Ishimaru-kun?

[Good now Naegi feels a little less lonely in his new character status.]

[induality]

W-well soooomeone's excited.

( Then again when doesn't Ishimaru sound excited? )

[professionalstudent]

Yes, that's right! Today is the first time she's actually put my account to some use. I'm glad I was finally able to convince her to give it a try! [Well, it's hard to ignore such a loud muse...]

[professionalstudent]

Of course I am! After all, how could I convince my mun to give it her all if I wasn't giving it 100% - no, 110%! - myself?

[shslheroine]

I'm glad you were able to convince her. How do you like it so far?

[Sob it's just so nice to be able to talk to Ishimaru-kun again.]

[professionalstudent]

I'm liking it just fine! It's going to take some getting used to, but after Hope's Peak it is a vast improvement! Though this place is also very lacking in textbooks... [Yes, he actually looked.] But I'm sure I can rectify that soon enough!

[diamondo]

That's the spirit, kyoudai! 'Course, I've never known you to not have the spirit when it comes to shit like this! You and your mun'll do just fine!

[shslheroine]

[Textbooks...]

If anyone can do it, it's definitely you.

[He has no doubt about that.]

[guiltydulcinea]

Your mundane really doesn't need to be nervous, I think. They're doing just fine~!

[ 'sup Ishimaru, have an idol-chan. ]

Though if they're still nervous, I know a few techniques that could help! I've use them before to calm my nerves before a performance or an interview...

[professionalstudent]

But of course, kyoudai! One can't inspire spirit without showing the proper spirit themselves! Even if she's not confident now, I am certain I'll be able to inspire her enough to get there! I will not rest until I do!

[professionalstudent]

Of course. I cannot neglect my studies, even in a situation like this! My pride as a Super High-School Level Hall Monitor depends on it!

Ah... Even though these really aren't halls... Or a school. But the point still stands!

[diamondo]

You'll do great as always! Sounds like you're doing great so far anyway!

[professionalstudent]

Ah- Maizono-kun! [Ah... there go the passionate tears...] Those words... Are making my mundane very happy indeed! She appreciates it a lot! As do I, of course!

I'm sure that in time I can get rid of her nervousness completely... But obviously I will not turn away any further assistance!

[professionalstudent]

I am glad you think so! I knew things would turn out fine, of course! But perhaps hearing other people say so as well will help my mundane to see it too!

[diamondo]

Exactly! My mun had some issues starting out as well, but once you've figured out how to work together it'll be fucking easy!

[professionalstudent]

Very true! You can't expect to start out perfectly at something - you have to work for it! Then it becomes easier with time!

And of course you can't expect anything to happen at all if you won't even try!

[induality]

Heheheheh... are you sure you really want that?

Why knows what kind of terrible things she might put you through...

( Fukawa pls.... )

also in the new nervous voice-testing boat

[oogreami]

It appears you have the proper application of spirit and endurance. You must not let your body go soft either.

I could assist in your training if you desire.

[SHE COULD HELP. SHE COULD HELP A LOT.]

[professionalstudent]

T-terrible? Ahaha... I'm sure she wouldn't make me go through something terrible, Fukawa-kun...! [Probably...] I have faith in her!

good, we can be nervous and awkward together!

[professionalstudent]

Ah-! I wouldn't dream of it, Oogami-kun! A healthy spirit requires a healthy body!

I appreciate the offer, but... [But... training with Sakura? That sounds a little scary...] I wouldn't want to impose, of course! [yes, good, smooth.]

[diamondo]

Yeah! So it's good that your mun's trying in the first place! It's good to see you around, kyoudai!

[professionalstudent]

I'm very proud of her! No matter what happens from here on out, at least she's taken this first step!

Same here, kyoudai!

[induality]

Faith has nothing to do with it...

( Ah and there goes her imagination... )

One day she'll start having thoughts and you'll have nooooo say in it. And then you'll be in some weird place doing unspeakable things or running from monsters....

( ........this isn't helping is it? )

I think you are a fabu Ishimaru

[oogreami]

My training never stops. You would not impose.

[Ah, but perhaps he is like Chihiro Fujisaki in that regard...? She gives a considerate look very briefly.]

Is it that you seek to train in solitude and isolation?

[professionalstudent]

Th-that's... [unspeakable? ah, no, that wouldn't happen... right?] I'm sure she won't... I mean, she's not the type for something like that!
