[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

Well, what did she say is going on? It's somewhere to start, at least.

She said something about her parents trying to punt her out of her kingdom or something. On, and she's here because this delegation thing is supposed to be helping her and her fiance bond.

[Let that sink in, Naoki.]

By the way, have you seen Yua-chan yet?

...Interesting.

No, I haven't. Why?

Uh... well, her fiance is 'Narukami'.

So.

Yeah.

It could be Souji-san. I know Yua called him Narukami in Purgatory.

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that.

[He sounds so relieved.]

I can stand seeing Souji looking all weak and meek.

It is also possible she's underestimating him. But at the very least, I don't think you'll find Yua on the other end of that engagement.

I dunno; from the way that she's talking, I'm half expecting seeing him unable to lift a sword.

But that's good.

From what you've said, it sounds like she doesn't even want to be here. That might have some bearing on how she's seeing things.

Probably.

...I kinda accidentally called her a bitch to her face. But it's kind of fitting.

[That may or may not be a snort. Whatever she did in response to that, Adachi-san, you probably deserved it.]

Whiny child side in full swing, then. She's going to hate herself after this, isn't she?

I'm more worried that it will be less hating herself and more we'll have another secret hideout to slog through.

...Yeesh. Good point.

Well, if we do, we do. That's at least one thing all of us have dealt with before, except possibly Dojima-san. [Seriously, it's kind of uncanny how little Naoto changes across timelines. They all more or less know her.]

Of course.

In the meantime, I'll try and keep her down to a dull roar. At least try to keep her from being too humiliated.

Good luck. It sounds like you're going to need it.

If there's something I can do, I will. Otherwise I'm going to see what else I can find out.

You'll hear me yelling. Probably literally.

Good luck yourself.
