Yay!! I want to draw things that will make everyone smile!
[ fortunately for him, she can’t fathom someone lying through text yet anyway ]

Do you need a reason? I always thought it was just for fun! My siblings and I used to play drawing games all the time, before.

Oh! Fushiguro-kun! Do you have any siblings too?

[ GIRL YOU'RE TOO EARNEST AND PURE HE'S BLINDED

He doesn't know how to deal with this but he will also Protect Her Smile. ]

[ He can think of legitimate reasons to draw, such as when working out a plan for a mission, or sketching something you saw. Drawing for leisure is not something that's ever crossed his boring mind.

Anyway, the simple smalltalk about siblings is actually a very loaded question for him, dredging up thoughts and memories he often prefers to suppress. He pauses again, wondering how he should answer. He could lie and say he's an only child, but he doesn't want to reject his relationship with Tsumiki. ]

... I have a sister.

Really?! Are you the older or younger sibling, Fushiguro-kun? You’re so responsible… I feel like you’re the older one! Am I right?

[ it makes sense, in her mind. especially if he’s around her age. ]

I have 5 siblings! Isn’t that neat? It got really rowdy at home sometimes though!!

[ he sure is not around her age poksmryk; ]

I am the younger one, actually.

[ But Mitsuri offering more information about herself makes it so easy to steer away from that topic. He has some genuine interest in her relationship with her siblings too. ]

Are you the oldest one?

Eeeh? Really?? Wow, I was totally wrong, huh? You seem so mature though…!

And I am! But I’m close in age with one of my siblings! We’re about a year or so apart? So sometimes it doesn’t feel like I’m the oldest.

Are you and your sister close in age?

[ shhh don't praise him. he was somehow a 30 year old man at 7. ]

About a year. [ i just googled this today lol ... anyway, he moves on. ]

Did you take care of your younger siblings?

I helped out with them a lot but I don’t know if I could say that… My mom and dad did most of the work, especially my mom! [ A mom... thats alive?? very rare for anime ]

I mostly played with them and helped teach them things, like cooking!

Back then, I think I was the one who got scolded the most though. Can you believe it?

[ it's somehow nice to hear about these things. he never got to experience being in a noisy house, with how it was mostly him and tsumiki alone. mitsuri reminds him of her, actually, which endears him further. ]

What did you get scolded for?

Lots of things! [ she was literally built wrong rhdjdjdj

from the amount she ate, to the failed marriage arrangements… she was constantly giving her mother heart attacks. ]

I was always getting into trouble, I guess. Or just doing things that were odd in general… My mom was always worrying.

[ she wasn’t exactly happy about mitsuri becoming a slayer either ]

I think I scared her the most when my hair changed colour.

Or maybe when I picked up a carriage?

I think that would scare most people. [ He is so reminded of Yuuji right now ....... down to the pink hair too. He hasn't seen her strength in person but he makes a mental note that she's probably decently strong in combat. ]

So that's your natural colour after all? [ He's quite curious now why it changed. ]

You're right, it probably would ...

Um! I guess so!! It changed because I ate too many sakura mochi. They're my favourite, so I was eating lots and lots!
[ probably thousands a day ]

What's your favourite food, Fushiguro-kun? Would you ever want to change your hair with it?

[ WHAT IS THIS STORY SHE'S TELLING HIM ]

I like the taste of ginger. But my hair is fine the way it is. [ Actually, he would prefer less spiky hair so no one will call him a sea urchin. Anyway. This whole thing is just so ridiculous. ]

I really can't tell if you're joking or not ... [ That story just sounds unreal. ]

I'm not joking!!

See? It's like that!

[ easy, right? ]

[ this phenomenon is crazy but also what is he looking at. he can't tell if she is being earnest or bullying him. ]

... Is that supposed to be me?

Yes!

You have really pretty eyelashes, so I made sure to draw them!! [ it was one of those features she gushes over in her head, for sure ]

Sorry if the resemblance isn’t clear! I’m not that good at art just yet.

When I get better, I’ll make sure to try again and I’ll show you!

I have -- what? [ don't say that to him, it's putting him in a state of shock. (at least he knows he's not being bullied ... maybe.)

TIME TO MOVE ON. ]

But ... I didn't know that could actually happen to a person. [ Hair colour changing because of food ... wtf. ]

Well… it was really unexpected!

Did you think I chose for my hair to be like this then? There was a time I actually kept dying it back to black, so that’s a bit funny. [ it feels so long ago. While she still isn’t the most confident, she wouldn’t stoop so low again…

Anyways - ]

Fushiguro-kun, if there’s anything you want me to draw then please let me know! 🐱 it would be nice if you could model for a drawing one day too!

Having dyed hair in different colours isn't uncommon where I'm from.

[ But the fact that she kept dying it back to black, maybe she's self-conscious about it? That's a bit unexpected. As for the modelling ... he's dying stop. ]

I think ... you'll find someone better suited for that than me.

[ He's shy and has low self-esteem, sorry u_u he does have a request, though. Give him time to work up the courage to ask. ]

Edited 2022-06-17 23:57 (UTC)

Ooh! Someone else told me that too recently!! I’d like to see all of these other hair colours! I wonder what someone would have to eat to get rainbow hair …

I think you’d be a great model! But I won’t force you. 🐱🐾 If I had to model suddenly, I’d be shy too!

I’ll practice with animals for now!!

'Kueh Lapis' is a traditional steamed cake from Southeast Asia that comes in vibrant colours.

[ He diligently looked this up to answer her question.

Also, he is going to ignore that compliment. ]

If you want to practice with animals ... [ This ties into what he wanted to ask her to draw! Just ask already, coward u_u ]
