ㅤㅤ" HUUH ... your brother must be pretty talented if he's the one who taught you how to play ! He sounds like he spoils you a whole lot if he's willing to get his hands dirty with any trick in the book ! " Times like these made Ai wonder if she had an older brother, would he go out of his way to win a million plushies for his adorable younger sister ? The thought was pretty entertaining in itself but not there was any meaning in indulging herself in such a fantasy.

ㅤㅤAt the very least, she hoped that Aqua would become a caring older brother that wouldn't hesitate to spoil his cute younger sister.

ㅤㅤ" Your brother sure sounds strict ... " He must've been one of those older brothers that was tough on his younger siblings but yet would give the whole world for them. A doting older brother, perhaps ? She patiently waited for him to text his brother before they were finally on their way. " Great ! Let's head off then ! " With that, they exited the arcade and casually began to stroll down along the sunset tinted streets, bustling with people as they were all probably making their way home. " Mm-mm ! It's fine ! I really didn't think anyone was going to help me so your name was honestly the last thing on my mind but Ludger, huh ? What a weird name ! " She couldn't help but remark with a laugh. " Not that it's a bad name or anything ! I've just never heard a name like that before. My name is ... " She trailed off as she began to contemplate her options, gaze wandering around the street for some ideas until her eyes landed on a nearby toy store,

ㅤㅤ" Aiko. " She offered a false name without a beat, spewing yet another lie without a second thought ( it wasn't as if there was a reason to be doubted anyways ). " But Ludger ! Is that a European name or something ? What do you and your brother do ? "

Ludger's crowd of one's praise gets him blushing. He's watched Julius do this and more multiple times, so he forgets it's like magic to true and honest players. All the cute rabbits are safely tucked into the lady's bag-- whoever they're for, he hopes they'll be thrilled they're getting a whole family.

"You can thank my brother. He loves winning me plushies, so he employs any trick that doesn't get us thrown out, including this one," And if Ludger's room was any proof, Julius got away with murder many, many times. Though he's immediately thrown for a loop when his little copy caper trick's getting him an offer for food. "O-Oh, uh, I mean... If you'd like, it sounds nice! But lemme warn my brother-- he loses it if I'm just 10 minutes late."

Contact: Nii-san [16:34] Having a snack with a friend before coming home. That ok? Or does the office need me? My little brother, growing up. (˃̣̣̥ w ˂̣̣̥) [16:35] As long as you're not out too late, all I ask is you have a good time. See you when you're done. [16:35] [16:36] Thanks, Nii-san! Dinner'll be extra good for the trouble.

"--There we go, no surprise search parties to drag me home later," Ludger tries playing his remark like a joke, but he's no top tier liar. Though he's quick to bury it as he stashes his phone back in his school bag. "Please lead the way! Oh, and I'm Ludger by the way! I probably should've said that earlier before I just snatched the controls on you."
