[ Tentacle monsters.. What in the name of all that is holy is going on? ]
well, we're gonna stay far away from them, alright? i don't want any tentacle monsters coming near us, ohii-san! so if we see them, we'll just run away or the other way.
and nah, not mine! a friend told me about them. said she saw her doppelganger in a painting and then she wasn't in a painting? i dunno, but it turned out it was a ghost or something. just you saying all that about ghosts had me remembering what she said.
[ Weiss told him that, actually! But with everything going on, he'd completely forgotten about it until the mention of ghosts and the like. Maybe he should be the one writing things down so he can remember to tell Hiyori later. ]
right. did you really need to mention all that stuff? even if i think you're delusional, you really felt the need to remind me i still rank below mary back home. well, it's not like i care about your stupid ranking, anyway!
[ And maybe learning he ranks first in Hiyori's heart here makes him a little happy, not that he'll ever admit to it. ]
now i'm thinking about it, probably for the better, tsukinaga-senpai didn't go in.
really, ohii-san? man, i knew you were old-fashioned but sus means suspicious. it's just slang! but i dunno.. you're usually always in good spirits. and still sounds pretty unreal knowing what's around here, and you already went on about what rinne-senpai said.
[ About staying away from them! But he has so many questions about 'refreshing' flowers. What does that mean, first of all? ]
yeah! i'm gonna be down in the communal kitchens for who knows how long, so meet me whenever you get done.
[ Especially after he receives the call from Rinne-senpai about what the "blank, white cake" actually means. ]
Well of course we'd run far away. I don't want to be hugged and squeezed by any tentacles, and I'm sure you don't either! My point was just that it might be handy to know people who can fight monsters, or do things like cure sickness. Sort of like knowing a handyman! And in exchange for their services, I can sing them a special song ππ΅πΆ
Or give them vouchers. One of the two.
A ghost??
[He was following that explanation until the last bit. ... also, his source on the tentacle monsters was Weiss, too. Big shoutout to her for educating Eve on all the weird stuff going on around here!]
I know there are ghosts here, but why would her doppleganger be a ghost? And how could a ghost get inside a painting? Now I'm very confused.
Perhaps you should care! There's always room for you to improve your rank! In my personal ranking, I mean. Not the so-called "rank system" here. My ranking is much more important. If you got even cuter, then you and Mary could be on the same level π
So it was slang, hmm? Very well! I'll start adding that to my vocabulary! I'm not totally old-fashioned, just so you know. I know some slang. For example, "spill the tea" and "that's the tea on that." Aira-kun taught those to me at a Pretty 5 meeting! Arashi-chan knew it, too, actually. Now we say it all the time!
Anyway, I think those flowers I sniffed were fine. However, I *do* see your point. I should be careful, and you should be careful! From now on, we'll sniff flowers sparingly! Though just so you know, I'd already smelled those flowers before Rinne-senpai told me about the pollen issue, so that wasn't an example of me being careless.
i'd prefer *that* not happening, ohii-san. you're not wrong. uh, how're we gonna rely on other people for checkups? i dunno if i'd trust anyone enough.
[ But then again, can they trust anyone as a doctor here? And he'd rather Hiyori not offer vouchers for services, but it's not as if they're hurting for them now... But, wow! Weiss sure is educating Eve on the monsters here. She must have gone through it. ]
i dunno? weiss-san told me the story so she'd know more about what went on. and it was pretty confusing, but you'd be better off getting the full story off of her. i think weiss-san said she knew you already.
i knew what you meant, ohii-san. no part of me wants to improve my rank here. but why'd i want to improve your "personal ranking"? in case you haven't noticed, i'm not the type of guy who's "cute." or wants to be on the same level as other people??? mary, included.
[ Besides, he loves Mary! She deserves her spot on Hiyori's list. What kind of co-parent would Jun be if he overtook her?
What exactly is Shiratori-kun teaching Pretty 5? He's aware that Aira spends a considerable amount of time online, but the notion both Arashi and Hiyori are saying "spill the tea" and "that's the tea on that" out loud??? ]
ohii-san, you guys aren't talking like that, right? what the hell has shiratori-kun been teaching you guys in pretty 5...... π€¨
[ Actually, he can imagine Aira teaching them internet slang, but more words like "tbh," "omg," or "lol". Anyway, he has to concentrate on the cake, meaning they cannot have a lengthy discussion about internet slang. However, he would probably pass away if Hiyori spoke like that in front of him. At the very least, he's not talking about "dabbing on the haters" or anything similar. ]
i'll be careful, you'll be careful and we don't have to worry. ok, guess that one doesn't count?
i guess we can continue the convo later. "ttyl" π
[ And here is more slang for Hiyori to figure out. ]
I wasn't talking about check-ups. I was talking more about what to do if something bad ever happens. There's that clinic, but we already know the staff tends to be useless.
Hopefully it won't ever come to that, of course. We managed to avoid that flower-coughing disease last month, which means we must have sturdy immune systems! It just doesn't hurt to have connections, that's all.
[They won't need to worry about that turning-to-stone disease kicking in. And if it's a condition like whatever they were afflicted with during the Springtime gameβthe kind that makes your body turn hotβwell, they'll just take care of each other. But that goes without saying.]
It was that @ angel girl who told you? That's funny. She's the one who told me about those tentacle monsters! We actually have plans to go shopping soon, so I guess I'll ask her about that next time.
Perhaps you're not a "cute type" the way I'm a "cute type," or the way Ra*bits is full of cute types, but you *are* cute sometimes! Like whenever a fan profusely praises you at a handshake event, calling you "cool" and such, and you get shy over it. Or when you pull off a difficult dance move and look pleased with yourself afterwards. Or when you're thinking really hard about something, but it's obvious you're stumped! At times like those, I think to myself, "Jun-kun sure is cute!"
Of course, I'm also "the handsome type" and "the beautiful type" as well as the cute type.
[Regarding Aira, it's entirely likely that he simply messaged them something containing the phrase, and that Hiyori messaged back asking what it was. And then he explained it to them, so Hiyori started using the term over chat... and then started using it in-person, too, much to Aira's shock. But there's no law saying certain phrases have to stay on social media, right?? And Aira was probably at least a little happy to have one of his favorite idols adopt a phrase they learned from him...]
I'd say what he teaches us is basically "the fans' perspective." I didn't grow up watching idols on TV the way he did. Or the way you did, for that matter. So it's always nice to learn more about what fans think and feel. For example, I never realized some fans buy dozens of copies of our CDs until I spoke with him! I do love shopping, but I'd never considered buying endless versions of the same thing before. But that's how fans show their love ππ Or some of them, anyway.
I don't know what that last thing you said means, but alright, talk to you then! ππ€πβ¨οΈ
