>>10573856>you look back at Nene who’s rocking back and forth on her feet, waiting expectantly for your insight“Well-”
>the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you hear the scrapping of metal on the floor and a quiet grunt of exertion over the sound of your own voice>you reflexively jerk your head back just before a blood stained axe embeds itself in the wall right where your skull used to be>still not quick enough to avoid a large cut on your cheek being opened by the flying weapon, but better than dying>you wince as the line of fire on your face throbs and you close your eyes to try and collect yourself>you hear Nene move in front of you to put herself between you and whoever threw the axe, but her voice catches in her throat when she sees who did it>taking a deep breath, you open your eyes and look past Nene to the perpetrator“...Suisei.”
>Hololive’s shooting star looks surprised at Nene's arrival>she straightens and raises an eyebrow>”Nene? What are you doing here?”>”Eh? Umm, Nene’s here to fight bad guys. I-Is Suichan here to do the same?”>”Bad guys?”>Suisei looks around at the bodies littering the floor>”Y-yeah, I’m here to fight, uh, ‘bad guys’ too. I didn’t think you were the type, Nene!”>that wasn’t very convincing, but Nene seems takes the answer in stride and puffs out her chest while you stare a hole into the back of her head>”Nene’s on a quest to become the strongest idol! Beating bad guys is just a part of that!”>Suisei squints at her, before turning her questioning gaze over to you>”And is that...Anon? Are you in on this whole ‘beating bad guys’ thing too?”>you stay silent but Nene decides to answer, still unbothered by the presence of her kill-stealing friend >”Nope! Anon is just here to help Nene! He always knows what to do, so Nene can focus on getting strong! Nene-”
>she turns to look back at you, but her happy expression falls when she sees the look on your face>a drop of blood from your cut rolls down your cheek and falls to the floor, the sound audible in the sudden silence“Nene.”
>She looks down at the floor, her bangs covering her eyes>”...Suisei’s not here for bad guys, is she?”“No, she’s not. You know why she’s here.”
>the blue haired girl pauses in the middle of trying to wipe a specific stain of blood from her orange tights>”Eh? Uhh…”>Suisei just shrugs and smiles>”You got me! I don’t know what this ‘bad guy’ stuff is, I was just here to kill.”
