Reading those doujins always gives her something to say...

[true_administrator]

[And boy is that smile just a touch forced.]

... You know, Mundane, I know you know where things are... incongruous to the real happenings. Even if I haven't told you the full story yet, and probably never will because it's more amusing for you to try to figure it out on your own.

However, I have to say, reading them as you are, seeing those things done by that representation of myself, it's a bit excessively cruel. ["Even for me."] No, I suppose I'll have to be truthful because you know what I'm going to say anyway; it hurts a bit to see things going that way.

Well... she wound up happy with her lot in life, didn't she? Her smile is genuine, even with that hermit controlling her like a puppet. Shouldn't that make things alright, in the end?

[true_administrator]

... Mm... [She wants her Tojiko, so she's getting her Tojiko. By simply stepping forward and grasping both sides of the other woman's face, before pressing their foreheads together. At least the smile isn't so forced anymore.] If ever you felt that I was being quite so cruel to you as what happens there, you have every right now to wreak your vengeance on me where I stand, Tojiko.

[yatteyanyo]

... That will never be needed, because my love for you now is just as strong as it has ever been. -Tojiko leaned into the embrace, sighing.- All that was in the past is just that... My love remains, as it always shall.

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

Yet you did not seem to mind so much that she ended up dying during the process.

[true_administrator]

There are some things that love should not excuse so easily, you know.

[true_administrator]

... Shut up, Futo.

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

Would you deny it as true?

Though, she does seem content in such a state at least?

[yatteyanyo]

Maybe so, but... I decided, a long time ago, that I would remain with you no matter what fate brought upon me.

[true_administrator]

[She sighs, slowly, and has to close her eyes in a slight grimace against that statement.

... Of course it just drives home all the times she actually has been that bad to Tojiko. Using that blind faith and love against her.

If she had to write a book on how to be an overlord, the very first line would be to not fall in love with those you use to gain your ends.]

Then I will apologize because you find no fault with me.

[true_administrator]

... It was nothing I could truly control. [Pause. That's not the whole truth and they probably but know it, but guess who's choking on her own ego.] Regardless, by then I had to slough off all connections to the world, so I could not care about it, even knowing what was happening, or the shikaisen would never have worked.

And thus, shut up, Futo.

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

If that is what you wish.

[If it makes you more comfortable to pretend this way.]

[yatteyanyo]

-A hand came to gently brush against her prince's cheek. In reality, Tojiko knows what's been done, and has had her share of anger at Miko, and yet... in the end, she still loves her, mind body and soul. Nothing could really change that.-

Your guilt weighs on you... allow me to ease that burden, Taishi-sama.

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Well, Lady Toyosatomimi...?

Is there a moral to this story?

[true_administrator]

In this way it would almost feel as though I am using you again. And yet, I am selfish enough to accept it. Ah, I can be so terrible sometimes.

[true_administrator]

[... SHUT UP, FUTO.]

I do.

[true_administrator]

Yes. [Stern look.] Don't touch my wife.

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

[Then she will refrain from speaking further, but it still won't change anything.]

[true_administrator]

[STOP BEING RIGHT, FUTO.]

[yatteyanyo]

You can hardly manipulate the willing, love. I know what I'm getting into. I do so gladly, and with affection.

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Is that all? Mou, rest assured-- I wouldn't dare.

[true_administrator]

[You know what sucks? Having an attack of conscience. Because suddenly everything she wants to do, in context with everything she has done, just makes it all seem... bad. Sinister. Manipulative and, frankly, kind of dickish. Tojiko probably will never realize the extent to how Miko and Futo both manipulated her, but Miko has to live with it now.

Instead, she moves her head a bit to the side so she's cheek-to-cheek with Tojiko.]

... I often do not deserve what I have gained... [And she says it so only Tojiko can hear her because fff her ego would never forgive anyone else hearing it outright.]

[true_administrator]

I feel as though with wording like that I should have you gutted already. [Someone's touchy because she's feeling vulnerable.]

[yatteyanyo]

Stop it... Just stop it. I'm here with you still. We're still together and we still love one another. Just... stop with the guilt. Please...

[sun_goddess_sacrifice]

[Then stop being an idiot Miko.]

[true_administrator]

[AND THIS IS WHY YOU WILL FOREVER BE FRIENDZONED, FUTO.]
