#plush laito

[laitoslittlemacaron]

in Japan right now and I found a tiny mask for him 😔🫶🦊

[lillariel]

I...I like the seals too...

[gj340]

i have a laito plush with a removable hat. here's two pictures of the plush, one with hat on, and the other with hat off.

[afra-blueraz]

How diaboys will treat their plushie Yui headcanons:

Shu likes to use it as a pillow more than anything else. Because he feels that he is sleeping on Yui's soft body and feels very good and can relax.

The doll is designed to smell like Yui, so sometimes instead of using it as a pillow, he prefers to hug it and sleep like a baby.

The fabric used in the doll is very soft and always reminds Shu of Yui.

After seeing this doll in stores, Reiji went to the market with a long coat, sunglasses and a mask to buy it without anyone recognizing it.

After buying the doll, Reiji hides it in the darkest places of his room so that none of his brothers find the doll because he is sure to be teased by them.

Although the triplets always know about Reiji's secrets and like to tease him.

Sometimes in his solitude Reiji puts the doll on his lap and starts combing its hair. By doing this, he feels that he is touching Yui's soft hair.

In his longings, he sniffs the doll to remind him of Yui.

Reiji loves to hold Yui's plush to sleep at night, but he is worried that his brothers will see him like this. That's why he never does it.

Ayato went to the store like Jet to buy the plushie.

He looks at the doll in surprise and giggles at how strange it looks. But it doesn't take long before he finds himself hugging and smelling the plushie.

Ayato sometimes thinks that Plushie and Yui are one and the same, and orders Plushie to make takoyaki for him.

(Oi Chichinashi, hurry up, make me takoyaki. Oh... I forgot you are just a doll. Hahaha, even your doll is Chichinashi.)

Kanato fell in love with Yui's plush doll with just one look. He thinks Yui can be Teddy's best friend.

Kanato always hugs Yui's plush toy with Teddy and never takes it away from him.

He likes to sew cute clothes for Yui's plushie. Because Yui is always his doll.

Sometimes he has a tea party with Teddy and Plushie Yui.

Laito falls in love with Yui's plush doll and thinks she is very cute.

Laito likes to hug her and talk to her. And sometimes he likes to have bad fantasies about plushies.

Like Reiji, Subaru goes to the store in clothes to buy dolls so that no one recognizes him.

After seeing the doll, he goes to the store like Jet to buy it, and be sure if he can't get the Yui plushie, he will blow up the whole store.

Subaru keeps Yui's plushie in his coffin and sleeps with her all the time.

Plushie Yui smells exactly like Yui and makes Subaru feel good.

Sometimes he looks at Plushie and thinks how cute and beautiful she is and how he can tell his feelings to Yui and he blushes and screams looking at Plushie.

At first Ruki didn't want to buy the plushie, but he couldn't resist it. The plushie was very cute and smelled good and reminded him of his angel.

Ruki buys a plushie and keeps it with him all the time. He hugs Plushie when he is reading a book, thinking that Yui is in his arms and they are reading a book together.

He strokes Yui's plushie hair and kisses her and talks to her as if she were real.

(My angel, do you like to read books together... Yui, you always seduce me.)

When Kou saw Yui's doll, he screamed like a fangirl and quickly went to the store to buy a plushie. He saw that other boys also bought Yui's plushie and got angry and bought all the dolls in the store so that no other boy could buy it.

He treats Yui's plushie like a cat. He buys it cat clothes and even gives it food.

He constantly hugs and squeezes Yui's plushie and thinks it is the cutest plushie in the world. He wished he could squeeze real Yui just as hard.

Yuma buys the plushie just because it makes him feel good because he's not very fond of dolls.

He sometimes puts the plushie in his garden so that he can see it while working and feel good.

Azusa falls in love with Yui's plushie. He buys a plushie and never takes it off. He even hugs it at school, even though Ruki keeps reminding him that it's embarrassing, but Azusa doesn't care.

He always smells Yui's plushie to make him feel that his beloved Eve is by his side.

He constantly kisses Yui's plushie and sometimes feels like he is kissing and caressing Yui.

Carla places Yui's plushie in his large art collection as if it were a rare and valuable piece of art.

According to him, the wife of a founder should be treated like queens and this plushie doll should be treated like a big art sculpture. She is the beloved wife of a founder.

Shin loves to hug Yui's plushie and sleep.

Sometimes, when he gets too emotional, he turns into a wolf and goes around Yui's plushie and licks it. He never shows it in front of Carla, but he loves Yui's plushies.

Kino is not interested in plushie dolls but Yui is his princesse and a princesse needs a prince.

Kino sometimes hugs plushie Yui and plays with it. Sometimes he wishes Yui was as good at video games as Plushie Yui.

What none of the boys can deny is that sleeping with a plushie Yui is the best feeling in the world.

Would you do some hc's about sakamaki's cuddling with their significant other??

𝐜𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬

𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬

shu’s cuddles are filled with utter warmth and homey-ness. he loves letting you play with his hair and scalp massages have him melting like a pot of honey.

his fingers love to slowly trace along your veins, drawing mindless patterns across your lower back and spine. cuddles with him are mostly out of boredom; a time-waster to let the eldest have an excuse to drift off to his safe place, you.

cuddling with reiji makes you realize how touch starved the poor man is. you can see it from the way his hands trail after yours when you reach for your phone, the way he gently presses your head to face the same direction as his when your eyes stare way too long at his beakers, and the way his breathing changes when you let his rest his tired, pretty head atop your chest and rub his tensed temples.

all the stress leaves the man like cold, arid vapor floating towards the moonlight once he croons into your neck and soft, circles along his back welcome him to loving bliss - something that was definitely uncommon for the dork.

it felt unreal how peaceful ayato felt to the touch. there was no more boisterous, booming man-child that’d snap your neck if you ever pointed out how vulnerable he was although the possibility always lingered, depending on how cocky he was feeling that day.

the moment he sank into your plush arms and of course, chest, it was as if time stopped and ayato wasn’t the arrogant, aggregating vampire who’d make fun of you for every little flaw you have.

instead, little murmurs of vengeful possession would lull the man into grasping you tight and sin your skin to be his. both your legs twisted and interlocked with each other, fluffy red ringlets laying on top of your cheek.

his grip on you often felt like an inescapable prison. was it a cover up for his underlying abandonment issues? you’d never know the truth. however, all it took was a simple caress pressed to the corner of lips and you knew, his glassy spring-green eyes whispered so much to you; or perhaps in another sense, it even needed.

with laito, the line was barely there, yet you knew to enforce it. this man has probably done this before, countless times and with countless prey before.

but did you care? absolutely not. to care was to give him power on a pretty platter, so you took it away and didn’t look back. his touch longed for you - pleading, pretty feline eyes that promised to take you to a world of pleasure, eager hips grinding against your waist, hands keen on making you a mindless slave, and deadly venomous words that were laced and wrapped with temptation.

it was an artform at its finest. however, laito forgot that there were two pieces of art at its definition: art that made you feel and art that was so perfectly and intricately made, to the point where it felt ingenuine. it was clear where laito fell.

to try and somewhat deflect this, you fought him at his own battle: you peppered pecks to ends of his eyebrows, laid still and held him gently, as if his advances were just another part of laito being his usual self and that it didn’t matter anymore.

for the first time in a while, laito stayed quiet. and, as he held your hand, a dry chuckle bounced on your ears. he leaned more into the cuddle, until there was nothing more separating your bodies, including his desperation.

cuddling with kanato always felt like he needs you. despite his harsh words and the constant comments about various replacements, he clings to you like a lifeline. there’s always harsh nail marks on your arms and back from how hard he digs his digits into you.

thanks to his petite frame, it’s easy to position in a way that he’s laying on top of your lap and letting him nap on your shoulder. kanato likes this position too, mostly due to how much access he has to your blood and heartbeat.

with kanato, there is no such thing as a break from cuddling. you’re either together or you somehow ended up in a coffin. his nose and lips are always pressed to your skin. whether it’s your neck, the skin behind your ear, the fold that connects your collarbone or simply suckling onto one of you fingers like a pacifier as he falls asleep, it’s a reminder that you’re real and you haven’t escaped.

yet.

like his brothers, kanato is extremely touchy. his skin itches for you and he’ll throw a big tantrum the moment you stop coddling him.

“I will dismember your hands with a fork if you continue to rebel against me. Now, if you please, touch me as you desire and let your greed run wild… Or else my patience will be the one running thin.”

subaru was an interesting cuddle buddy. there’s a mental back-and-forth whenever your warmth distracted him from his other usual self-degrading thoughts. ‘i don’t want this, i don’t need this, why am i like this, this is just a physical altercation and all i need to do is punch some scumbag to feel better-’

these thoughts serve to sever himself from how close he is to being intimate and vulnerable with you. of course, it doesn’t work. the care you’re showing makes him forget all the things his mother has thrown at him as a child. whenever you two cuddle and you hold his ruffled bedhead to your heart, it’s the closest subaru has ever felt-

-to being deemed as loveable. and probably, it’ll be the closest subaru will ever come to loving himself - using the sense-losing warmth of your bodies as a proxy.

Lovers Tango~

Admin Bubble: @fedora-pervert may be a tad mad at me still for trying to kill his girlfriend with a chainsaw... so I wrote this to appease him! Love ya, Laito! Also- dedicated to @moonlit-korraline , @fangsforiris , @magezhaaa and @venusshenanigans bc they all like Bella best with Laito, WHICH CUTE!! <333 This is just tooth-rotting fluff and romance, because why not. Also, this may be written into a future The Accords Chapter, we'll see! This is just a cute lil snippet <33

Bella simply stared at Laito's outreached hand, fingers spread as he invited her to be attached to him by the hip for the evening. A million thoughts ran through her mind, will she? Should she? ...Would she? Mixed answers of 'no', 'yes', and 'maybe' crossed her mind in a flash, she almost became overwhelmed. But the last time she touched him she melted in those hands, truly relaxed. And with every boulder the day had thrown at her, all she wanted was that again. So the noirette ignored the knowing smirk on the vampire's face, and that green rose between his teeth as her head spun, placing her hand in his. "Fufu~ I told you~" He had purred, pulling her closer so his plush lips brushed against her ear with each word. "I'll lead." "Will you?" She asks rhetorically, not expecting an answer. But his response was a swift spin on his heel, pivoting her toward the ball's guests as the music swelled. He was graceful in moving her, just as graceful as she as he sauntered forward, his hands on her waist and one wrapped around her hand in a light grip. His touch was icy, but at the same time, a sense of warmth flooded her nerves. It felt sickeningly right in a way nothing else did, like puzzle pieces clicking into place. They moved in sync with each other stepping in time with the music as the green and black dress of hers brushed against their legs. Laito had a looser grip until the music's tempo slowed, leading her closer to him until the pair swayed together, cheek-to-cheek. He was so much at once, and all that ran through the woman's mind was how comforting yet exciting this was. Laito was phenomenal to her surprise, allowing her to move in rhythm without restraining her but still showing her exactly where he was going before he stepped. As they danced further through the room, Bella could feel her heartbeat in her chest. The low pounding that told her this was correct of her to be doing, correct of her to move against him like this. He was perfect... he felt perfect... And for a moment, as ginger hair the color of warm honey brushed against her face, she forgot everything else. She forgot the nightmares, she forgot the politics of her own people and their hatred towards his kind, she even forgot everything before him. A quiet whisper from Laito as he suddenly dipped her down, holding her by the waist and hand as he brought support to her weight got her out of this sudden spell. Something so quiet she wasn't even sure he had meant for her to hear it until he said it again, looking her dead in the eye with his precious jewel ones. Deep, dark and rich green eyes that screamed sudden feeling... "I like you." And Bella knew these words would have meant nothing in normal circumstances, he had obviously said these words to other women. She knew it. But his tone... His tone of subtle longing, yearning, burning desire lingered in the air like pleasant perfume. Bella breathed in.

Interest check in a Laito Sakamaki plush!

Howdy everyone. As followers know, and as I'm about to explain to u, tag, I don't do Diabolik Lovers anymore. At least not like that. Nowadays if I wanted a plush it would be a Kou. Oops.

Anyway, he just doesn't really spark joy anymore. I've been just tossing him around my room for the last 6 years. So, I figured I'd try to see if there's a home that actually wants him. It's his casual outfit from I believe MB? He is fairly well loved. I've snuggled with him often, but as far as I remember no stains. He has lost his hat, unfortunately. I can and will clean him up before anything if I can figure out how. He was in a house with dogs and a cat, non-smoking, just an old house. I would really only want to ship within the States, and I would probably be asking $70 +shipping. Maybe lower, I really don't know. Just since he's well-loved and the others are going for $150+.

Anyways! Like this post if interested, I guess? I'll take and attach some pictures to this post here soon or make a new post. I will probably go through a legitimate channel such as eBay or something just because I've never done this before.

Shumori chapter 8

TW: Diabolik Lovers lol and angst, anxiety, nervous breakdown, undetailed mentions of child abuse

Laito stood rooted at the spot by the window, baffled at the surreal bad luck he'd just experienced.

He looked around the nursery for all possible exits, as the obvious one would be the entrance and the door Shu had used last time wasn't there anymore. There were exactly two ways out of here. The staircase door and

It's a long way down. Do you want to jump?

NO.

Ironic how some brute was climbing up a cute nursery rainbow staircase so violently.

In self-preservation, there was always an option. He'd hide under a pile of giant stuffed animals; a closet would be too obvious.The footsteps grew louder. Hopefully his brothers's scents would cover up his.

Kanato, Ayato and Subaru were deep asleep; if the guy was reasonable and they didn't wake up, he could assume the radio had just fallen down from the sky... right?

You just want them to take the beating for your foolishness.

I'm not as strong as Subaru and Ayato or as magically apt as Kanato!

The voice went silent with a BANG coming from the door.

-WHICH ONE OF YE THREW THIS?!

Yuma entered and the jacks and card games on the shelf next to the door fell down as the three vampires who were asleep awoke, confused.

Laito shrank himself further into the plush animals and waited for an opening.

-What the fuck? -Ayato rubbed his eyes and glared at the tall guy. He was sporting a broken old radio from the 1930's on one hand and a bat-sized tree branch in the other as if it was a straw. He had a small bleeding wound on the forehead.- We were asleep!

-Do you want me to believe radios just fall down from the sky?! HAH!? Fat chance, buddy; better speak up and make it up to me, or you are all getting your asses beaten today!

-HAAAH? Why would I throw that thing at you?! The great me doesn't waste his energy in meaningless pranks! (Laito bit his tongue to supress a laugh)

-...You rich brats all need a whooping, either way!

-HUH? Want to fight, huh? -Subaru stretched and got to his feet, saw Yuma's towering frame still towered over his and thought again- Tch. Whatever. What do you need?

Kanato didn't even bother to stand up, if the occasion rose he'd just set him on fire. But he couldn't believe neither Ayato nor Subaru had responded by protecting him! And Laito!! He could sense him crawling to the entrance like a soldier beneath the stuffed animals. Pathetic.

-You are but a peasant; we need not help you with any task you want done. -He spat

Yuma shrugged, smirking, and lifted the branch to attack all three, but suddenly an avalanche of stuffed animals fell between him and the three brothers; a fourth guy had freed himself from a gigantic pile of stuffed animals and made a run for the door. He could tell this one was it. He almost felt bad it was the least physically fit of them. Almost.

Laito ran down the stairs with a huge guy holding a branch like a baseball bat on his tail; he had forgotten this was a dream and ran as fast as he could; disappearing didn't seem to work.

He wasn't used to running, or anything of the sort, and he was tripping on his own feet. It was like the guy chasing him was enjoying himself, too. How embarrassing.

The rest of the nursery tower was darker, and he didn't remember the stairs being this long last time he'd used them. Were those strings running into his face cobwebs???

-Ya can't run fast enough, lil' bitch!! -Yuma laughed

Hey! That was HIS line! HE was the one to call people a little bitch! He didn't like this one bit. The Mukami brothers were pretending to be so sad and the victims because their brother had been kidnapped or whatever, but said brother was a huge bully!

You wouldn't do that stuff yourself if you didn't know they can't win against you either...

Laito whimpered and frantically searched for the exit in some type of cellar; he couldn't see in this dark. That meant Yuma couldn't either.

-Ya gonna play like that? -Yuma hadn't lost his confidence- I guess that's more fun; ready or not here I comeee!

Now, why is this so familiar to you?

This wasn't fair. He felt like prey. Like... ugh. After rumaging in a box louder than he would like to, he found a lamp. It'd do.

Yuma couldn't see much in the dark but the hat guy was a cornered animal. They had arrived at a dusty cellar that had a labyrinthic collection of dusty wooden boxes, jewelry and books, as far as he could tell with the very little light that came from the weird children's room.

That guy was probably looking for the invisible exit, or hiding again. He'd eventually find him and whack him; he hadn't lost his touch. He was still Bear on the inside.

He started whistling and slowly making his way to where he'd heard rummaging of metallic objects for suspense.

Suddenly there was a blinding green light in front of him that threw him off balance and as he recovered his sight, the guy had found the exit and gotten out.

Well, this was awkward. At least he'd given him a good scare.

If these brothers were here, he'd eventually meet up Shu, right? He'd blown a chance for a clue here, but there was another Sakamaki left he could ask... maybe dropping the tree branch would work better with that particular guy.

Outside, on a pretty palace courtyard with a fountain, lush grass and blooming roses, four people were loitering around and having a relaxing time, until two of them got into a spontaneous argument and the other two slowly backed out.

-So you claim the ladle you acquired 150 years ago is superior to the newest and most likely improved technology. -Ruki took gloves out of his jacket and unwielded his ladle- Sakamaki Reiji, I challenge you to a duel!

-En guarde! -Reiji exclaimed, already gloved and wielding a ladle in battle stance.

The other two sat on a nearby fallen tree; one nervous and another slightly amused.

-Don't worry, Eve... Ruki is really good at this! -Azusa reassured Yui, according to himself-...Do you like popcorn? I can make them extra hot and spicy... just for you!

-Thank you Azusa, but I might get sick with all that spice! -Yui said, slightly red- Oh... was that Laito running by?

-Laito... seems to be... in a hurry like he did something bad... -Azusa laughed- Hey, I also brought butter... for your side of the popcorn, if you didn't want spice... if you're lucky... you might still get corn caught in your gums, though!

Laito ran and ran, directionless. Just in case. First he passed by a fencing duel fought with cooking tools by Reiji and Ruki, and Azusa and Yui sharing popcorn, but he wasn't in the mood.

Yuma might want to catch up to Ruki. Then an open field full of red poppies passed by and as he was beginning to really lose all coordination on his limbs, he found a tree with roots that hoarded a whole rocky wall with a hole the size of a 10 year old child at the bottom.

As a fan of fairy tales, he thought it was best left alone. On the other hand, it looked like some kid's secret passage as well; what could he possibly be afraid of? He was a goddamned vampire, and Yuma and his bat-branch wouldn't fit in.

He crouched through the small, fresh cave with plenty of room around him. Was he really this muscle-and-fat-less? ... Whatever, he still didn't want to work out.

He found himself in a thick black pine forest. He walked enough to get to a somewhat high place to see the general panorama.

Higher above, there was a small clear with a tree stump and a tree with something written on it.

He grinned. Had some naughty couple made their way here to have some fun and desecrate the place further by letting others know?

Edgar and Shu. A bit confused, his grin disappeared. Edgar?

The second name brought him back to his senses. This was but a dream, and this information wasn't from his mind.

The room with the toys and rainbow staircase was information from his childhood, Ayato and Kanato's. This place must be Shu's. The Yuma chasing him wasn't the real Yuma. He was not in danger.

It had still been gross. Maybe he should call Bitch-chan Yui from now on.

He traced the letters on the tree trunk with his fingers. Who was Edgar? This had such a nostalgic feeling to it.

He'd never carved his name with someone else's. Both names were carved by a different hand.

That is the kind of thing you keep in your heart forever, according to literature.

It was hard to imagine uncaring, cold, lazy Shu having that sort of thing. If he hadn't told him yet, he probably wasn't going to, anyway. This would have to be asked in a different way.

He wanted to know if what Shu lived had ended up being the same thing he did. Although if a tree situation had appeared in his case back then, he was sure he'd have been the only one carving a name. He had the sudden urge to burn down the tree.

Would burning down a tree get you what you want?

What was it that he wanted? He wasn't sure it existed, or if it was available for someone as wretched as himself, as tainted and possibly even spoiled. Yet he hadn't taken his hand off the tree all this time. Was there really a limit to make good memories?

Why not giving in to your real desires..? You know you want to...

Laito climbed onto the tall tree stump and saw a pink building at a reasonable distance among the dark trees.

It made him curious, you don't see a bright pink stage venue in the middle of the forest every day, and he didn't want to stay here till he woke up in the real world.

The forest was thick and a lot of insects were encountered. He arrived at the building pale, tired, hungry and in a very bad mood.

A huge, black moth conglomerate was flying his way and the last straw finally broke the camel's back. His nerves couldn't take that too.

Time to wake up.

WAKE UP, DAMMIT!! OPEN YOUR EYES! He couldn't. And the moths were flying closer.

Laito ran to the first door he found, screaming and covering his head; he slammed it open and slammed it behind him to sit with his back against it in the dark hallway he'd just entered, hugging his knees and sobbing.

If he closed his eyes, would he leave this dream? Like the lyrics from one of the songs Shu played on the violin before Cordelia broke it said? That woman sure broke anything she ever touched.

After a while, he had to accept he wasn't leaving this dream soon; he'd calmed down and a familiar hairspray smell hit. He followed a narrow, dark hallway to a bright pink door. He didn't bother knocking.

He entered a pink dressing room he was pretty sure he'd seen as a doll house in an ad on 90s TV.

Kou Mukami was inside, putting a sparkly turquoise vest on and looking at himself in the mirror; Laito's reflection suddenly appeared on it as well. They both screamed.

Meanwhile, Shu was awake simply because he enjoyed daytime. He'd always been a strangely diurnal vampire, a bit like there are nocturnal humans.

He was pacing around the fountain and thinking of what he knew about crime, specifically kidnappings.

Since Yuma and company were mercenaries, they were bound to have a few enemies; but if he had remained kidnapped, the perpetrators were certainly not human.

Yet he didn't know of any other vampires in town or any other creature that could hold him hostage.

Was Karl-Heinz behind all of this? Behind Edgar's resurfacing? No, that was insane, he had probably just gotten lost or something, Edgar never had sense of direction.

He smiled as he remembered Edgar not finding his house in his own town one time when Shu was actually getting the town tour by him.

Edgar grew impatient the third time they passed the same berry vendor, and he succumbed to use his pocket money on raspberries.

Shu led him to his house (after eating the berries) when he'd only been in town with him two times before. That had been a fun day.

When it comes to crime, the perpetrator often revisits the crime scene. In this case, Yuma had kidnapped Yui at the Sakamaki mansion. Shu could take a chance.

He wasn't trying to get close to Yuma, after all, only helping him out to stop thinking of the lost boy and his safety.

Shu grabbed a blood red apple he was going to snack on before and carved a message for Yuma on it with a rose thorn. He put it where Yuma had laid him down on a soft green pillow last time.

A familiar would guard it so it didn't rot soon or get eaten by raccoons. It looked ominous. Edgar and his curious spirit wouldn't resist.

It was nearly dusk and Shu's own spirit had somehow been lifted up. It had been a long time since he last played the violin, but he'd use the calm before the usual school routine racket to play in the garden for a bit.

Yuma woke up nearly at dusk in the music classroom when the cleaning people started hoovering it. Jeez.

He crawled out of his makeshift camp under the teacher's desk and startled the cleaners. He didn't bother saying good evening as he passed them to get out.

He wasn't even wearing his uniform, and he smelled like he'd been chased by the police at a drug dealer park in the rain, which was accurate to the situation, but he couldn't show up to school this honest.

He still couldn't recall where he lived; only the general direction. He arrived to the zone in super-speed in no time. The road got increasingly dark and empty as the space between houses grew larger and the houses looked more expensive.

He remembered he lived in a rich people place. Just not the way to it! He started hearing a familiar song on the violin at a distance. The song that was stuck in his head at dawn. His instinct told him to follow the melody.

It could be a trap, but fuck it. It was something he was sure he knew.

As the sun had sunken in the horizon and the song had stopped, he had entered a courtyard similar to the one in the dream he had last night about chasing a bastard who'd thrown a radio at him.

The exact spot the music had come from was a stone bench with a red, juicy looking apple on it. Like a trap for a boar. Why would they put up something like this in this mansion? He needed to check it out.

He saw an inscription carved on the apple:

Lost? Here after school.

You've gotta be kidding.

The memories of the last few weeks came back at once; this was the Sakamaki mansion. The Neet was looking for him too? This could only be him. But before anything else happened, he'd eat the apple.

Kou didn't expect anyone to show up before the show, much less this guy, who probably snuck in thinking he'd find a half-naked girl, and instead found a nearly naked guy in just a vest and underpants.

-Why are you screaming, I'm not that beastly-looking, am I?

-You screamed too!

-Because you just barged in on me!

-I didn't know anyone was here!

They stared silently at each other. Laito laughed. Kou soon followed.

-How did you get in here? -Kou asked, putting the rest of his clothes on. - The doors were locked from both ways.

-I simply entered?

-I was captured. I need to know why you're here.

-I was running from you brother Yuma and then got lost; he was getting a little eager to beat me up.

-Yuma! -Kou perked up and grabbed Laito by the shoulders- is he okay?

Laito got startled at the contact and a bit irritated his potentially getting beaten up didn't really matter, apparently.

-Better than I'd like him to be.

-Tell me, where was he? -Kou was a bit too close to his face. He slowly removed Kou's hands and face from himself, but Kou chased him to his new corner, eager for answers. These people were intense!

-Near our... -Laito didn't even know what it was - A tower near the poppy fields. But he's alive and extremely well and confident. -Laito couldn't hide the contempt- What about you? Who captured you?

Kou finally got into a normal distance and even looked away from Laito's face into the dark pink silky wallpaper. He didn't want to talk about it?

-They don't have faces, they are tall shadows. -Kou got nervous- But I have to get up on that stage for a chance to run away. Say, Laito, right?

-Yes! You're Kou, no? -he opened said door- I'd say you're free to pass!

Kou hesitated. He knew the door was open, but that dark hallway...

-Say, Kou, was this door unlocked all along? There must be some other reason you don't want to leave this room.

-There's something out there.

Laito peered into a long, dark hallway. It had a spooky, dusty vibe.

-Whenever I've tried to cross it to reach the stage door, it only seems to stretch endlessly and some shadowy hands start slithering like snakes up my body from the floor. -Kou flinched- I tried to endure their freezing touch till I got to the door, but as they reached my neck they wrung it. I am a vampire so I don't have to breathe, but then their pointy nails started digging at my throat and cut...

-What the hell... sounds pretty spooky. -Laito looked for a light switch without success- but your neck looks impeccable. If you don't say the real reason you can't cross it, we're likely definitely stuck here.

-Maybe I hallucinated the whole thing, but I still don't want to risk the oppressive darkness.

Laito smiled and Kou felt wary of that lip curve.

-You're in luck though; look what I found while your bully of a brother was chasing me.

A lamp. What did Laito want from him, though?

-Why do you want to cross?

-I don't want to see a black moth hive ever again, and I would have to if I just go back on the other side.

Kou lifted an eyebrow. What the heck?

-Quick, or I'm gonna push you!

-Geez, no need to drop your voice like that. -Kou rolled his eyes- I'm going.

Laito lifted the lamp and adjusted the brightness. The hallway itself looked long, but other than that, pretty rudimentary. Concrete walls with cracks on them, some fungi and humidity. An over worn wooden floor with a few lose tiles and splinters.

Of course, backstage never had the glam and charm of what you see onstage at the front.

-Oof. It looks like a longer version of the orphanage's hallways! -Kou muttered to himself

So this was from Kou's mind. Laito was getting it. He giggled a little; he could become the master of gossip if he wanted to, but keeping everyone's dark memories inside himself seemed somehow more exciting.

-Whatcha laughing at? -Kou turned around to face Laito with a leer- Do you really look down on people who had the misfortune to be orphaned?!

Laito winced,

-No, not at all, just remembered the tower looked like mine and my brothers's childhood room!

-So you think you're better than me because you actually had a pretty room?! -Kou now invaded Laito's space again by grabbing the front of his shirt- Think again!

Laito removed his fist easily, but he really wasn't in the mood for this. Kou didn't know him enough to just pass judgement like this. He was a lot of things but he wasn't proud of his origins. That'd be too "dirty", even for him.

-You don't know what you are talking about -Laito lowered his voice and glared as he captured Kou's wrists in his hands- you preach about not judging others by their origin, yet you claim my origin makes me think I'm better than you without even asking yourself what it could have been like.

He pushed Kou into the dark hallway and was going to turn off the light and shut the door, but Kou shouted as he was moving the switch to turn off the lamp and reaching for the door to shut it,

-Please, don't leave me here alone!

Please, don't leave me here alone, Ayato, Kanatoooo!

Laito gave in to sentimentalism. He can't just preach around and not take an action different than what he was given and was still pained about.

Laito joined Kou in the darkness, lamp in hand and door open. He offered a hand to help Kou stand up.

Confused, Kou's red eye started glowing. What he saw made him take the hand.

-Oh my! -Laito giggled, bad mood seemingly gone- you are a true shining popstar, aren't you? With light of your own and all!

Kou didn't bother snarking back. Somehow he'd touched the other guy's fibers; his intention was sincere, although hard to believe if it wasn't for his magic eye.

Laito wanted to cross, too, after all. Must be that.

-Now that we're here, let's just go.

The hallway seemed to stretch every time they were about to reach the door, sometimes that door even looked blurred.

-Why does it keep moving..?

As if to provide an answer, something started scratching the floor behind them. The other end was blocked by a dense spiderweb and the way back was a tangled net of the same substance. In the middle of it all was a hairy, eight-legged spider the size of a small horse dripping venom. Its eight eyes found Laito's single pair.

-Laito, please stop screaming, that'll just upset it! -Kou yelled nearly asphixiated by Laito's tight arm grip on his ribs as he hid behind Kou in panic.

-Get rid of it! I don't wanna see it!

-I can't try anything if you don't let go of me, I can't move like this!

Laito tightened his arms in a "no". Kou understood, as his fear of the dark was similarly strong. Since Laito hadn't refused to help him cross in the end, for whatever reason, he could probably try to help him face this.

-Alright, when stuff like this happens my brother Ruki tells me to breathe.

-I'm a vampire, breathing is not necessary!

-No, I mean deeeep breaths, like this... Laito, seriously, I can't even demonstrate, you're gonna break my lungs! It's not even moving, let go of me!

-...

-Ok, stay behind me if you want. But free my rib cage a bit so you can follow my lead.

Laito let go, if only the bare minimum necessary for a breath.

-Let's inhale deep like this and count to 3: 1... 2... 3... let go of the air, 1... 2... 3...

After Laito fully incorporated himself, Kou felt grateful his rib cage was intact and looked for some kind of weapon; fighting a giant spider hadn't been in his plans.

He tried kicking it but it turns out the spider spat venom at him as he touched it and it burnt; bad idea.

Laito had a weapon though; this was a fire lamp he had!

Laito unloaded his rage on the giant arachnid and all of the cobwebs caught green fire; for a moment Kou thought everything including them was going to be incinerated, but as the spider kicked the bucket, so did the cobwebs; all of that went up in smoke, but the structure of the orphanage hallway looked the same as always, and the smoke didn't obey the laws of physics; it just vanished without getting in their eyes and noses.

He heard the door they had been trying to reach unlock, like in a videogame, and Laito's status return to normal. They turned to each other.

-We did it! -Kou held out his hand for a high five

This time Kou giggled at Laito's widened eyes,

-A high five is something where you slap each other's palm of the hand when you win at something, or when you find you have something in common. Come on, high five?

He kept the palm up at a dumbfounded Laito.

Laito smiled and high fived Kou.

-...I don't get it, but yes!

Laito was genuinely happy. He didn't know why, but this had felt better than many other meaningless physical interactions he could think of, and it wasn't exactly a pleasure-inducing touch.

-Now, let's open that damned door!

As the knob was turned

Kou woke up to an annoying alarm clock.

Time for school, then investigating where the fuck Yuma was, and then going to that trendy place with the Masokitty and his brothers.

He had had a strange dream. He had been having a recurring one for a few times, about reaching a door to a stage from which he could escape his captors, who were tall shadows that often beat him.

This time it was different; one of the Sakamaki brothers, the one who had eaten clown for breakfast when they had come to their house to ask about Yuma, had been difficult to deal with and then they had conquered the dark and a giant bug together to finally open the door he hadn't been able to reach on his own.

That was very strange, but it felt so real! He was glad dreams were private, noone had to know. He turned all of the lights on and started getting ready for the night ahead.

*Chattering can be heard in the background*

*thud*

Yuma: Welcome, how can I help ya?

Girl A: O-my-God, they can talk for real!

Yuma: Of course we can talk.

Girl B: And they even have little maid outfits, ahh so cute!

Yuma: Could cha order, I don’t wanna catch roots ‘ere.

Reiji: Yuma, I am not going to say it every time I walk past you. Be more friendly with our customers.

Yuma: Yeah, whatever. Your order?

Girl A: Of course, we both want hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Yuma: Right up.

*He walks away*

Yuma: Oi Ruki, table 12 needs two hot chocolate with Marshmallows.

Ruki: Ask Yui, I can’t right now.

Yuma: Why, ya look perfectly capable for me and Yui’s busy.

Ruki: Yuma. Do I look like I can prepare anything right now with this set of Paws. I indeed would like to make it, but I am incapable of doing so and if Yui is busy ask Laiko. I saw her a few minutes ok.

Laiko: What can I help with?

Yuma: Table 12 needs two hot chocolates with marshmallows.

Laiko: Oh, sure I’ll do it!! I can’t say no to such cutsie little plush balls.

Ruki: Do not call me a plush ball.

Yuma: Just wait. I’ll scratch your eyes out someday.

Laiko: You won’t, you’re way too cute for violence. Anyway, let’s get going, shall we?

Hm~? Hey! Ayato! Down from the counter, you’re going to scratch it!

*Laiko sprays him with water*

Ayato: How dare you spray Ore-sama with water! You should respect me more!

Laiko: Ayato your feathers are waterproof, don’t make a fuss and go outside besides, why are you not wearing your dress?

Ayato: Not wearing that thing.

Ruki: We all have to, Ayato.

Yuma: Right, it’s part of the rebrandin’. No one likes em.

Laiko: I do and surely Yui does too.

Yuma: No one besides them.

-timeskip after the café closed-

Yui: I am back, and I brought another hurt demon with me. I hope we can welcome him here.

Kou: Welcome back M-neko-chan~ Who exactly did you bring with you today- IS THAT A DOG?! *hiss*

???: I am a wolf dumbass, and my name is Shin. You should have told me that you have half bloods here.

Yui: I didn’t think it was important and…are you sure you are a wolf?

Shin: Yes of course, are you doubting me?

Yui: No, it’s just.

Subaru: Ya look more like a Pomeranian.

Shin: Shut it you oversized turkey before I make a meal out of you.

Subaru: What did you just call me?!

Shin: You heard me.

Shu: He’s right. You’re tiny.

Shin: Tsk, I don’t listen to bird scum like yourself.

Shu: Then look in the mirror.

*He walks towards one of the mirrors*

Shin: WHAT?! Are my powers this weakened.

Reiji: Probably. If you having a wolf form is true. You should probably get it checked out by an exorcist.

Shin: Shit I am gonna do. It will go away and until then I will stay.

Yuma: Ya really should though. Those  things can last forever y’know and Kou?

Kou: Yes?

Yuma: What’re you doing on the ceiling?

Ruki: I was going to ask you the same question. I would appreciate it if you could come down this instant or you pay for the paint fix.

Kou: If the dog goes away!

Ruki & Reiji: Kou, you come down now!

Kou: Fine fine.

???: The ceiling is still scratched and beside…male founder demons are the worst kind. I would let him rot wherever you got him from.

Yuma: Hah? Anikó, since when are ya here?

Anikó: The entire time.

Shin: Tsk, of course you already have one of these pretentious whores here and an exquisite one at that.

Anikó: What did you call me!? Should I remind you that you ignored me for half a millennium?

Shu: You shouldn’t have brought him here.

Yui: Why?

Shin: …pushed me in front of a moving train!

Shu: They are noisy.

Anikó: …mistake, you moron!

Kino: Oi shut it. I need to finish this game and I need to concentrate for that.

Shin: Shut the fuck up

Anikó: you pathetic little crow.

Ayato: Of course, now they like each other.

Reiji: Yui?

Yui: What is it Reiji-San?

Reiji: You should guide Shin around the café and give him his uniform.

Anikó: Yeah, you should show him around, around the exit door if possible.

Yui: Oh yes! Come Shin, I will show you around.

Shin: If you insist.

Laiko: Why do I get ignored now?! Hello?!

-Timeskip-

Shin: What the fuck?! I am not wearing that thing!!

Yui: Shin-kun, everyone has to.

Shin: I am not everyone! I am a founder, and I will not participate in your weird fantasies!

Yui: I-It’s not a fantasy!

Shin: And I am Santa Claus, go away! Growl

*Ruki walks in*

Ruki: Can I help you in any way?

 Yui: Yes actually. Could you please help me Keep him from struggling?

Ruki: What do I get for doing so?

Yui: I don’t know. Besides, you offered your help!

Ruki: I was just joking. Should I hold him down?

Yui: Eh yes.

Shin: Don’t you dare come near me half-blood!! Why are you in your human form anyway? Infront of a human too!

Ruki: That is none of your business and now keep quiet.

*He walks up to Shin, trying to touch him but Shin tries to bite him*

Shin: keep your dirty hands off me!

Ruki: So, you do not want to cooperate? Fine, by me.

*Ruki walk away*

Shin: Since your help is gone now, can I go?

Yui: I guess so?

Ruki: I knew we still had it.

Shin: What is that?

Ruki: A muzzle, one of humanity’s greatest inventions when it comes to dealing with animals who act up. It prevents them from biting their caretakers. Yui, hold him.

Yui: Okay.

Shin: You can’t put that on me I am a founder!! *Growls and quietly barks* And you let go of me!

Ruki: The more you struggle the more it is going to hurt.

*Ruki eventually puts on the muzzle and the dress with Yui’s help, and they walk outside*

Yui: Come on Shin-kun. The evening customers are going to arrive soon, we need to open the café.

Shin: Forget it.

Ruki: Do you want to get put on leash too?

Ayato: What are you three up to- PFFFFT PAHAHAHAH You look ridiculous.

Shin: I am going to kill you.

Yui: We don’t threaten each other here.

Ayato: Hahhh exactly, Shin.

Subaru: We also don’t laugh at each other.

*He pushes Ayato down the chair*

Ayato: Hey!

Subaru: You were on my chair.

Ayato: Tsk

Laito: uhhh you look great! So pink nfu~

Shin: Fuck you.

Reiji: I forbid myself. No swearing in the public part of the café. Now let us start.

-timeskip-

Ruki: And if your magic should run out or overflow you can ask her to help.

Anikó: As if I would help him after what happened. Besides he isn’t even part of the family.

Ruki: Neither are you and we still help you so get over your own ego.

Anikó: Hahh fine. I guess I can help if you need me.

Shin: I won’t need you.

Anikó: *whispering* I remember you begging for my help last time~

Anikó: Nothing.

[mxstball]

[Scorching Sandgems] Distorted Expectations: Daiyu

Daiyu sighed and slowly started to sink into a shadow, but she never got the chance to sink fully before being found out.

"..where do you think you're going, bitch? Lauren may not be in trouble now that I understand what's going on, but you definitely are."

Daiyu was still slowly sinking.

"You go in the Distortion World and I will personally find you myself and kick your ass so bad that not even Mona will save you. You hear?"

Daiyu immediately got out of her portal and sat on the sofa properly.

"Good. Good. Actually, hang on. Sapphire's going to kill me for this, but--" Heidi pulled out her move gun and shot beside her before reaching in and taking something out of there. It was a plush doll -- Sapphire's Gardevoir plush doll.

"H--hey! Don't just yank her like that! Gardevoir's sensitive to swift motions!" Daiyu  was rapidly waving her hands back and forth to tell Heidi to stop.

"Oh? Is she now?" Heidi politely placed Gardevoir down on the table. "That's strange, because, last I checked, inanimate objects like Pokédolls don't normally have feelings… that is, unless there's a soul inside."

"H--huh? What do you mean?" Daiyu started sweating.

"Don't play dumb with me, Daiyu. I've been meaning to ask you about Sapphire's Pokédolls for a while now, and after our little encounter today, I've learned a lot more than what I was expecting." Heidi turned to Lauren. "Big sis. Please, can you tell me if there's anything… odd about this Gardevoir?"

"Sure." Lauren picked up the plush toy and rotated it in her hands. "Just looks like a regular plushy to m--"

Lauren didn't get to finish her sentence before she felt something coming from the plush toy. It felt… alive-- no-- as if something was harmlessly residing in the small object. It reminded her of a Bannette in a way, but… it wasn't quite that. The spirit still had a strong Psychic energy around it and she could tell that it still had a sense of emotion. Lauren lightly grabbed one of the arms of the Gardevoir and lifted it before letting it go. The arm fell to its side of course, but the falling arm motion was enough for her to know that the spirit was tied directly to the doll.

Now that she thinks about it, this did remind her of something.

Lauren summoned the Soul Dew again. She compared the two… then turned to Daiyu.

"Daiyu. There's a Gardevoir in this plush doll, isn't there?"

"!!!"

Heidi glared at Daiyu. ".... tell the truth, Daiyu. We're waiting."

"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you. Just… give me Gardevoir first. She's very sensitive in certain places and I don't want you to accidentally scare her."

Lauren handed the plush to Daiyu, who hugged and petted it. She then kept it in her hands.

"...When a Pokémon dies, there is a time period between the moment that the body stops moving and when they either pass on or become a spirit where the Pokémon's soul is in a state of limbo. They're not alive, but they still retain the full properties of themselves from when they were still living. Under normal circumstances, this time period doesn't matter, but without intervention, there are a few that utilize this period in certain ways." Daiyu looked at the Soul Dew. "It's normally this limbo where a Laitos and a Latias transforms into a Soul Dew for example, transforming themselves into an orb that keeps their minds and souls protected inside. Their soul stays relatively intact, allowing other Latias and Latios like yourselves to benefit from the orb."

Heidi and Lauren looked at each other, but it was Lauren that spoke. "Well, like me. Little sis has this problem where a Soul Dew hurts her."

Heidi glared at Lauren. "That's besides the point, Lauren. No need to talk about my shortcomings here."

Daiyu nodded. "Right. So… I am able to see when a Pokémon is in that state, and I can preserve them… by placing them in special inanimate objects, not too dissimilar to how a Shuppet and Banette work. If you were to die and I didn't want you to go, I can… well…" Daiyu looked down at the plush toy. "Place you in a Pokédoll that looks like you for example. So, as long as that toy isn't destroyed, you can live on, and you maintain everything about yourself so that, maybe, you can fulfill your final wishes before you finally wish to pass on…."

"...." Heidi was able to understand where this was going. "...and so you did this to Sapphire's fallen friends during the war."

Daiyu nodded. "P--please, please don't tell her. I… I don't normally do this and it was their wish to be with Sapphire for as long as they could, so this was the only way that I could help them after they died. She'd be heartbroken if she learned that her Pokémon never passed on… and they don't want her to know, either."

Lauren blinked. "How do you know what they want? Little sis and I can get a sense of their presence and feeling, but not that much else."

Daiyu placed Gardevoir down on the table lightly. Heidi spawned a small toy chair that was just large enough for the doll. Daiyu smiled and placed Gardevoir there, turning her as if she was a part of the conversation. "I… can still talk to them. I can still understand them directly. I can even project into the doll and check in on them. Sapphire and I cuddled a lot in part so I could have an excuse to check on them, to see how they're doing and how they're feeling. Even on my birthday, Gardevoir told me how she was happy to finally get to see Sapphire move on and make new Pokémon friends, and that she was confident that her trainer would be a good trainer to more Pokémon…."

Daiyu stopped talking momentarily as she looked at Gardevoir for a bit.

"Gardevoir appreciates the fact that she seems included in the conversation, though she's a bit upset at me for being so protective of her." Daiyu looked back at the rest of the group. "Honestly, because of the fact that it disrupts the natural life cycle of a Pokémon, I'm usually extremely selective of who I do this to, but Sapphire meant a lot to me at the time so I thought that it was worth it."

Jeanne smiled. "You did what you thought was right, and that's all that we can ask."

Heidi crossed her arms. "Still doesn't mean that you should have been hiding this from Sapphire for so long. I think that it would have been nice for her to know that her friends were still with her in some form, rather than to use the dolls as mementos."

Lauren turned to Heidi. "Well, it's also in part the Pokémon's decisions, and they didn't want her to know, either. I don't think that it's right for her to disregard their wishes."

"Fair enough, I guess. I still don't like it, though."

Daiyu shook her head. "I get that you don't like it, and Gardevoir understands your feelings. We… will talk with the others to see their stance. If they're comfortable, I think I'll tell her."

Lauren blinked. "Here's what I don't get, though. How did Morrigan get a hold of this ability, and why was she able to project Lati the way that she can?"

"I don't know the first answer, but the second is because I can do that, too." Daiyu grabbed the Gardevoir plush and channeled some of her magic into it…

…revealing what seemed to be a Gardevoir beside them!

"[...]" Gardevoir swayed back and forth, but didn't do much else.

Daiyu started her explanation. "I can project her soul into the world of the living like this, but there are two downsides. First, this isn't a true body of Gardevoir. She seems real and attacking and damaging her does occur, but killing her will simply bring her back into  the plush. Secondly, Gardevoir has no will or self-determination. She still controls how she moves and speaks, but it's me who gives the commands and ultimately controls her. I don't like doing it because it feels like disrespecting the spirit."

Gardevoir spun around. It didn't seem to have anything to say.

"She still will remember everything from this conversation… remember her environment and everything that she was forced to do, too. So, why would I force her to come out to have her appear 'alive' when she can live life through her doll?" Daiyu recalled the spirit and placed the doll back on the chair. "Anyway, this is what Morrigan used on us since Lati is perpetually in that limbo state. Considering how much he dislikes her, it's utterly abhorrent and disrespectful what she did. I'll never forgive her."

Heidi and Lauren both nodded. Heidi reached for the doll and grabbed it. She petted the Gardevoir, making sure that she knows that she cares. Finally, Heidi opened the portal and placed Gardevoir back in Sapphire's bed where she was. To think that Daiyu had such a connection with the dead and to other people warmed her heart. Even though Heidi still didn't agree with the fact that she was keeping such a big secret from Sapphire, she understood that it came from a good place, and that's what mattered the most.

"Thank you for telling us, Daiyu." Heidi nodded. "You're still a little grounded for your actions, but… I understand that you're just trying to do the right thing."

"I understand. Just… don't be mad at them, please. The little spirits are just doing their best with what they can do with their friend."

"I'm not. If anything… I understand them. I'd wish to do the same thing if I died protecting Zinnia. I just hope that they eventually find peace."

"Yeah. Me too."

"hey bitch-chan!" he said.

and... here we go again, I look at him again confused, it was night and I was in the garden looking at the moon, in the garden. I always wore a plaid shirt with a Crux necklace, I look at him answering: "hm? what's wrong laito-san?"

"Nothing... but do you remember the day we met?"

"Laito!" I exclaimed. smiling and then I started remembering the moment...

———— in the past (2021)

i was awake after a nightmare, i was hugging Yui Komori's plush, she was my favorite character, but i use a piano playing noise i look to the side and see that the computer was turned off,

(hmm... ...weird.)

I look at the door, is Mom... putting on the piano playlist? I got up and taking light and short steps I go to the door, I open it but...

"!"

I come across the music room of the Sakamakis mansion. I spotted Laito, playing gin at the bara. I looked with a slight smile, I joined the scene changing my style to the anime, my hair changed color to a light pink. I looked at him with those innocent eyes.

"... ... laito" I say looking at him "laito-san!" I called him long distance, he stopped playing and looked at me, my god! he was looking at me! what do I do?

"Well well well, we have a cute human that came from another reality" he said, I was in shock but kept calm. I got closer saying: "Uhm... hello, I'm... Elly. yeah..." I got to his side. " Nice to meet you? " I spoke quietly, "want to play the piano with me? " he asked I hugged my plush agreeing, I sat down next to him, and so he played "oh fionna", from adventure time I already interrupted he while hugging a little tighter saying: "do you know adventure time?! ", "of course" he says staring at the keys even though they are not being played.

"Ah! sorry! you can go on" I say realizing that I interrupted him, he lets out a light laugh and continued to play.

the music filled the room, I listened with admiration, I sang softly so as not to notice, but he listened, continued to sing while he played. when it was over I continued humming the melody.

"Hm?" he looked at me, "huh?" I exclaimed. "Sorry! II! Aaah!" I was embarrassed.

"you sing well, bitch-chan!~" he smiled. " It wasn't supposed to be heard! " I said blushing.

"but why?~"

"why not! "

"But not a good reason, bitch-chan~"

"shut your mouth! "
