“<span class="mu-i">It’s like you’re sacrificing your life for me…!</span>” Ichie is now in actual tears.
“<span class="mu-i">God...</span>” Suan De rolls her eyes.
“Well, enjoy it!” You’d rather not burst Ichie’s bubble.
“I will, Johnny! I will!” Ichie is eagerly waiting for the tools to eat your sandwich the wrong way. You find it odd how she can carry a conversation with all of you without looking at your faces. Except for Ruby’s.
“Table is set up! Please, come over!” Ruby announces to the dumb girl.
“Excellent! Thank you very much” Ichie hurries to the table at incredible speed. It leaves everyone in the room flabbergasted. “Thank you for the meal again, everyone!” She begins digging in with a fork and knife, she’s as classy as Nariko with them.
“You’re fast…” You assume that’s her flame’s power.
“Oh, yes! It’s the results of my lifelong training!” Ichie cleans her mouth with a napkin before speaking. Or maybe you’re wrong. You shouldn’t be wrong.
“I-It’s incredible what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it.” Ruby cheerfully retorts like there’s nothing wrong about what Ichie said. The redhead knows very well that something is off though, and you noticed her cringing a bit with the way the trash goblin talks. It’s all way too familiar.
“Hard work pays off! That’s why I believe you can’t give up on people even if society has done so.” Ichie is a proud lady.
“After you’re done eating, could we try something out together? I need to make sure you’re fine.” You propose.
“I’m done!” Ichie eats the sandwich abnormally fast. “What activity are we going to partake in?” She has by far a better disposition than before. That’s the power of your sandwich.
“I need us to check the room past this hole.” You point at it where you are now that darkness isn’t covering that side of the apartment anymore. “It may trigger something in you.”
“Are you insinuating there’s a <span class="mu-i">demon</span> within me again? To dispel this unfounded notion, I’ll do as you say.” Ichie is 100% cooperating.
“Have fun! I’ll be cleaning the dishes if you need me for anything.” Ruby drops out of the activity at the first calling. She’s desperately trying to ignore the hole. You can feel she has the same disdain for it as she does for the van.
