[ It had been a complete accident.

The fact that she was now at his bedside just waiting for him to wake up after getting hit hard in the head was definitely not a part of today's plans for her, but he seemed to be relatively fine otherwise.

So now all she could do, really, was wait. ]

[dereban]

It might be fun to see, though...

[ There's a bit of amusement in Inaba's voice, now. ] I didn't know you wanted to try harder.

[spacialeyes]

Well-! I am most sorry to report that I've memories far more scandalous and even 'lewd' than hand holding, such as engaging in- in-...

[He covers his face to hide his reddening cheeks.]

... activities.

[...]

Hold on. I need a minute.

[dereban]

Hmm~? Is it really that embarrassing to you that I have sex with Yuuto?

[ nope absolutely not giving that minute ]

[spacialeyes]

Huue- How can you say with a straight face?? I'm not your Yuuto! But I remember it?? Doesn't that creep you out?

[dereban]

Because that reaction of yours is cute, actually.

[...]

Besides. I've already gotten used to that sort of thing. You didn't answer my question, though. Is it embarrassing or not?

[spacialeyes]

There’s no reaction..!

[He keeps his face covered, voice muffled by his hands.]

“Embarrassed” isn’t the word, no… It’s not… bad, exactly. Or important!

[dereban]

You're covering your face, so there definitely is a reaction.

But if it's not bad... then you should just be honest and tell me.

[spacialeyes]

Covering my face is an anti-reaction... [He hears himself pouting and tries to correct his tone. Though as he lowers his hands, red faced and frowning, he knows that he's digging a grave.] Having so many memories of you doesn't mean I don't... like you.

But it feels like I'm stealing moments meant for someone else by remembering them.

[dereban]

That's not how that works. In that sort of way, you are like Yuuto.

Besides, just because you're recalling those things won't make me treat you like Yuuto, you know. If you're thinking that you're stealing those moments, though... maybe we should just make some ourselves.

[spacialeyes]

Himeko! You are implying that we engage in sexual activities!

[dereban]

You're the one who said that, not me. I just said we should make memories together.

[spacialeyes]

I’m just going to shut up, actually!

[dereban]

Pfft- you really are making such a cute reaction for a kami.

[spacialeyes]

There’s nothing “cute” about it..!

[He tries again to regain composure, but-]

These memories make it hard to behave normally, that is all.

[dereban]

No, it's absolutely cute. It sounds like you're getting really flustered, actually...

[spacialeyes]

No, I'm fine..! I'm kami. We aren't supposed to feel much of anything, really..!

[dereban]

Liar.

[spacialeyes]

I'm not a good kami, it's true...

[dereban]

[ And she reaches out to give headpats. ]

I think you're good enough.

[spacialeyes]

[Haaaah- It doesn’t feel bad when she does that, which is alarming. Though he’s already admitted to sharing Yuuto’s feelings for her, it feels dangerous in practice..!

He leans towards her anyway.]

… “Good enough” is too little for kami. I need to be more impartial.

[dereban]

I don't think there's anyone in the world who is truly impartial.

[ She sighs. ]

Anyway, we've been talking for a bit without making any food like I said I would. Do you want anything in particular?

[spacialeyes]

[He shakes his head slowly,] I don't have any preference that I am aware of, no. My apologies.

[dereban]

I'll just make whatever, then. You can walk, right?

[ She puts her hand out for him. ]

[spacialeyes]

Yes. [Though he takes her hand anyway and stumbles when getting to his feet. It’s pathetic, he thinks, but he’s also never had a physical body. It feels different to stand on his own compared to remembering how it felt to stand.]

My apologies. I’ll get used to it quickly.

[dereban]

It's okay. Ah... sorry, does it feel weird for you?

[ She instinctively did this while she has her nullification on, after all. ]

I can turn it off real quick.
