[ wat ]

You were so stubborn about this before. What's going on?

So I can make dango for cute girls and maybe score!

_{[ remember how honest he is ]}

[ well at least he's honest about it. the mind of a straight guy is a mystery to him. ]

You shouldn't be learning just for that reason ...

Hmmm..
I’ll learn how to make dango for cute girls.. and you too. Don’t you want some dango as well?

[ well he picks up new skills so sure. ]

You don't have to do anything for me.

[ kinda soft that he wants to, though. ]

Why dango?

Lumi-chan likes dango. I want to take care of the people I like.

[ this boy, pure. ]

Sounds like you are getting close to our neighbours.

Dango will require ingredients you can't find here, unfortunately.

_{[ can you hear it, meg...
the muffled toxic masc screaming coming from the other room..

DRAMATIC... ]}

What the fuck??????
That's what she and I agreed on! Dango! It's a sweet and refreshing snack! It's perfect!!
What else is more sweet and refreshing than fucking dango!?!?

[ that sure is ... agonized screaming from the other room. sweetie what the fuck. ]

You're really mad about this ...

_{[ He used to not be like this. He used to be mild tempered and even shy. He was quiet. He kept to himself and his books and made great grades. But then, Amon fused with him and changed both his anatomy and his personality. The most important aspects about him are still there, but his temper is explosive.. violent. Amon was a warrior of Hell, after all.

There's some stomping, it's getting louder, and finally, Akira flings the door open to whatever room Megumi is in. ]}

I can't go back on my word!! I said I'd make her dango so I have to!!

[ This is going to be a long afternoon, all right. ]

I'm sure she would understand. [ But Akira doesn't look like he'll listen to reason anymore. ]

I guess it's ultimately just flavoured flour. There might be an alternative using the ingredients we do have. [ Requires research........... this is gonna be gross ]

No.. I don't want her to understand.. I want to not fail her!

_{[ this guy.. ]}

Do you think? Maybe there's some information we can find out?

[ Megumi blinks at that line he's hearing. While the tantrum looked silly before, he's realising now that it's rooted in something deeper than that. ]

The library is a good place for that.

[ Should he address Akira's other insecurities? Maybe ... maybe not right now. He's much better at doing things, than he is talking about heavier subjects. What he can offer is his support. ]

There is an aisle for cookbooks. I can show you.

_{[ He hangs his head and exhales sharply, shoulders slouching. It's in relief as he can slowly feel his hot-boiled and demonic temper subside. At least he isn't a Devilman with malicious intent.. otherwise he'd tear the whole cottage down while blowing a gasket. He looks up, expression quite serious. ]}

Yes. Show me. I'll learn.. but just because it's to look cool and impress others. Not because it's girly.

[ This again. ]

It's not girly. A lot of men work as chefs, you know ...

[ The toxic masculinity! But he's quite free right now, so Megumi starts to gather his bag and things. ]

Do you want to head off right now?

Mm. Yeah, we can go! I want to get this figured out as soon as I can. There's also something else I'm trying to do..

_{[ Akira busies himself getting his shoes on by the door and looks at Megumi. ]}

You know Koko-chan? Ah.. Kokomi! Our other neighbor.. she is missing something very valuable. Something called a "Vision!"

[ This Akira really is getting himself involved in everyone's business and trying his best to help. He sounds like a very good and earnest guy. Out the door they go, on the way to the library. ]

It's probably similar to how I've lost my cursed technique. The Overseer is weakening us so that we don't revolt.

Maybe.. but maybe it is somewhere around here and it just lost! I’m going to keep my eyes out for it.

_{[ A shoved runs down his spine when he steps outside and he groans, folding his arms over his chest. ]}

Fucking cold weather. It feels like I’m in Hokkaido!

_{[ maybe wear clothes that keep you warmer.. ]}

It sucks. One of my missing powers helps me increase my body warmth at will.. I’m not used to being uncomfortable like this.

[ With how most people have lost their abilities, he doubts it's going to be as easy as simply finding them back. Otherwise, he would be spending most of his time doing just that. Anyway ... Megumi does note the name 'Hokkaido', because it's telling him they are both from Japan.

He's better dressed for the weather than Akira is, having ~~stolen~~ obtained a black tunic with long pants and a black hooded cloak. ]

You should learn to dress better for the weather. [ He probably isn't used to that at all. Megumi pauses, as if deciding something. ]

Do you want my cloak?

Pfff, no way. That’s yours. I’m tough enough to deal with it. It’s just annoying. I can dress how I want. I’m just mad I can’t alter my temperature. That’s what I am used to doing.

_{[ He’s quiet for a moment, but then he looks over at Megumi. ]}

Either way, I’m happy you and I have stuck together through all of this. Yuuji-kun is kind too.

[ He hadn't actually expected the boy to accept the cloak, given the general air of maschimo around him, but he thought he would offer anyway. Because the way he's dressing right now? It's a bit ridiculous, in this winter climate. ]

You feel too tough for ... winter clothing?

_{[ meg is just going to ignore his gay words huh ]}

Yeah. I used to be extremely vulnerable all the time. I'm trying to not be that way anymore. I got picked on and teased a lot.. I didn't have any friends besides Miki-chan. She protected me, so now I have an opportunity to protect her and others.

_{[ somehow this means just freezing to death to him but ok ]}

[ He doesn't want to think about gay words right now.

He's realising now ... how strange, earnest and ridiculous his new roommate is. ]

That's noble and all ... [ Sorry, he has to - ]

But what does that have to do with freezing in the cold? Don't be stupid. [ You know what? He is taking off his cloak, and he is going to attempt to wrap it around Akira. ]
