#god its okay ritsuka we're all allowed at least one chuuni moment in our lives

[dnangelic]

wouldn't it have been nice to have something to talk about ? he's about to ask whether or not ritsuka would stay by his side and guide him before he stops himself --- something like that might have been a little too clingy and overbearing .

besides , ritsuka was already in the process of admitting all sorts of things .

' the demon lord's faction ... ' okay , he can't help but laugh a little . just a little ! it's like , a sneeze ! a cough ! he covers his mouth and tries to hide away any obvious smile ! ' a-ahem , i don't know , our tastes seem a little ... ' ah , not that he was trying to push the other away , ether ! ' i-i mean , i've only ever really read ... '

u ... uwagh , why was this so embarrassing all of the sudden ?! his heart was pounding ! he was kind of terrified ! as much as he really liked them --- ! ' s-shoujo manga ... but if there was a really cool hero and demon lord and stuff , i'm sure i could get into it , too --- ! '

maybe ? truth be told , it was always difficult for him to enjoy anything without guilt or a wince . saving others was only fun until the saving stopped and turned into destroying ; he'd never see himself in any sort of hero . ' um , i can't really speak for everyone either , but ... it's nice to be able to think that way , right ? ' his transformed shoulders sink a little . ' like ... i don't mind stealing if it's for your sake , senpai , but --- it's still definitely stealing . i don't know if there's any sort of excuse . '

ㅤㅤ" YEAH ! They're super fun ! Though it might be pretty behind the more recent games but maybe after all this, I'd be happy to lend you my collection to try it out ! " It was clear he was quite the enthusiastic gamer.

ㅤㅤRitsuka suddenly, now horrendously reminded of the fact that the way he behaved wasn't entirely far-off. He wasn't into the weird edgy stuff luckily but it didn't make it any less shameful. " Well ... er ... I didn't do any of that but sometimes, I'd wave a stick around and shout out super cringe attack names then ask for guidance from like some kind of goddess or something ... to er -- ... get myself through certain situations. " He did it more times than he could count.

ㅤㅤ" ... Or I would refer to bullies as part of the demon lord's faction ... " Ah, he wanted to die.

ㅤㅤAnyways ! Topic change !

ㅤㅤ" T - that's why it's fun to share these kinds of things with friends and stuff ! At the very least ... we've probably read some of the same mangas. " Maybe they could geek out about that later. " The demon lord, huh ... ? Nowadays a lot of anime and manga focus on the villain side of things ... they can actually be pretty cool and are actually misunderstood. Being a villain doesn't sound so bad sometimes either ... I mean they have their reasons too, right ? "
