Good at having others wrapped around his fingers, he established his position by charming people with his words. Adder allows his stay due to their common interest, where he will bring in useful information from somewhere. He may seem frivolous and soft-hearted at first, but he is in fact a very smart man and it is difficult to gauge him. As someone in the middle of nowhere who is neither a Devil nor an Angel, he is in quite the unstable state both physically and mentally.

(Card story) Kai SSR - Clumsy Messenger of Love
- ANGEL'S SMILE -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
EPISODE 1
Tumblr media
Kai: A kind smile and a cheerful tone… right…
Mere: Talking to someone with a smile is spreading love. This also helps to heal those who are hurt and suffering.
Kai: Mr. Mere gives difficult orders…
Tis: Eeh. It's super easy.
Kai: I'm not as casual as Tis. Always smiling and being friendly…
Mere: Then let's practice smiling. Once you're confident, you'll be able to openly express your love in a daily basis.
Kai: Sigh… So I just have to do it, right…
Mere: Then, let's start with Tis. Think of Kai as a new patient and give him a smile, okay?
Tis: Sure! Let's try it. Let's go see the doctor! Don't worry, I'll be with you.
Mere: What a bright, sunny smile. Can Kai imitate it?
Tumblr media
Kai: L-like this…
Tis: Whoa, your eyes aren't smiling at all!
Mere: This is… It looks like the journey is going to be a more difficult than expected.
Kai: (thinking) I knew it, my smile looks unnatural…
Tis: Well, well~. Let's stop the serious practice for now. How about exploring the hospital? I've always been curious about what it's like!
Kai: Tis, be quiet.
Tis: Instant cut-off!? So cold!
Kai: I'll keep practicing… There should be a hand mirror over there… (walks away)
Mere: Mere will stay with you. If you can feel a mother's love up close, your smile will surely become warmer. (walks away)
Tis: I have a bad feeling about this. I hope Kai doesn't try too hard…
EPISODE 2
Tumblr media
Kai: Smile gently… casually start a conversation… then bring out the other person's smile… Alright. I should be able to do this… perharps.
Patient with bandaged leg: ……
Kai: (thinking) I guess that person is heading to their room. They're all alone and their steps seem heavy… I wonder if they're okay.
Mere: Kai. Please accompany that person. I'm sure Kai can be there for them.
Kai: I don't know if I can really be there for them, but… I'll try. (walks over to the patient) Um… nice weather today, right…
Patient with bandaged leg: Hmm…? It's cloudy outside...
Kai: Now that you mention it… the weather isn't that great…
Patient with bandaged leg: ……
Kai: (thinking) That's no good… it's not a conversation at all… At least I should show the results of my practice… I'll smile now... ... Would you like me to accompany you to your room… I'm here, so... if we walk slowly, it'll be alright… I guess.
Patient with bandaged leg: … No need to force yourself. If you're going to give me a fake smile, don't bother. (walks away)
Kai: …I knew it... I can't do it…
--------------------
Tumblr media
Kai: I shouldn't have tried so hard… Everything would have gone better without me… If only... I could smile like Tis…
Tis: Kaaii?
Kai: … Tis. You're up in that tree, aren't you…?
Tis: Hehe. Correct!
Kai: Did you come here to laugh at me?
Tis: Of course not!
Kai: Tis managed to do well at the hospital. Much better than me…
Tis: But you know aht. I thought about it. Kai should just be himself!
Kai: Be myself…?
Tis: It was so cool when Kai was trying hard. But I like the usual Kai! The one who's a bit negative. Who rarely smiles. Who thinks things through carefully, and is serious about the angels' mission. It's Kai's charm. Since I've been with you all the time, I know best.
Kai: … Are you trying to cheer me up? (thinking) To be myself? I don't think that's worth anything… But… if Tis says so… Maybe I can try believing in my usual self…?
Tis: You're smiling! Think of it as a revelation, and go see that patient one more time. This time, it'll definitely work!
EPISODE 3
Tumblr media
Kai: (walks in) This should be the right room for that patient from earlier…
Patient with bandaged leg: You're the one from earlier…
Kai: I'm here as a substitute for the nurse… I'll change your bandages…
Patient with bandaged leg: …You're an angel, right? Do angels do such menial tasks?
Kai: I'm here as a nurse right now… I know you probably don't want someone like me changing your bandages, but please bear with it…
Patient with bandaged leg: I see, go ahead…
Kai: Alright…
Patient with bandaged leg: ……
Kai: ………
Patient with bandaged leg: …Hey. Can you talk about something? Anything is fine.
Kai: (thinking) Even if I'm asked to talk about something… I can't think of anything interesting… No, it doesn't have to be interesting. It's fine to just be myself, right… In that case… I'm really bad at smiling…
Patient with bandaged leg: …?
Kai: Even though I practiced in front of the mirror many times, when I actually see someone’s face, I can't smile properly… And honestly, talking to anyone other than Tis or Mr. Mere is a hassle… You probably don't want to deal with such a gloomy angel either…
Patient with bandaged leg: You're pretty self-deprecating for an angel…
Kai: Self-deprecating… But you… From what I can see, you've been keeping your distance from the other patients. I'd normally refrain from saying this, but you might want to try getting along with them. You'll be here for a while…
Patient with bandaged leg: Haha. Right where it hurts…
Kai: Oh… I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
Patient with bandaged leg: Not in that way. Ever since I was admitted, everyone has felt sorry for me… The more people smiled at me, the more I felt miserable. I can't walk without a cane. That makes me feel so helpless…
Kai: I see… You... you've been feeling that way all along…
Patient with bandaged leg: I'm sorry. Such a boring story. But talking to someone like you who doesn’t try too hard is a relief.
Kai: …Is that so…? To think there are strange people like you on Earth…
Patient with bandaged leg: Sorry for being different.
Kai: (thinking) Oh… I made him smile… It was okay to be myself… Maybe Tis was right… I need to tell Tis… I also like Tis' smile just as it is.
