[ 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. ]

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.

[spacialeyes]

[Rather than answer, he sort of just

Falls forward

As if unconscious.]

[dereban]

Ah--

[ Okay, immediately turning it off because holy shit? But she is going to attempt to catch him at least, even if he's definitely a bit heavy. ]

H-hey, wake up...

[spacialeyes]

[She gets a tired groan in reply as he begins to wake up.]

Himeko..? Sorry... Were you saying something? I missed it?

[dereban]

...I got my answer, don't worry. I'll keep it 'off' when we need to hold hands.

[spacialeyes]

If you'd rather keep it 'on,' then I can not touch you..? [He's gradually regaining his footing and standing up properly.] My head is ringing. Hm.

[dereban]

Hmm... it isn't as if I'm repulsed by you, but...

[...]

Would you be willing to protect me in its place?

[spacialeyes]

Just what are you planning to cook that you need protection?

[dereban]

Hmm? I wasn't just referring to just 'right now', you know. Besides, you never know what will happen.

[spacialeyes]

Do you not already know the answer to that question?
