[Annnd now his smile falters, confusion marring Hiyori's features once again. He's glad Hiiro is being agreeable, of course, but there's such a thing as being too agreeable. And yes, of course, Hiyori is kind and benevolent, with a generous noble heart, but being called "kind" right after threatening someone is also kind of strange! And did Hiiro just promise to protect him?
He really has no clue what to make of things.]
Goodness, what is your perception of people...
[Hiyori mutters this mostly to himself.]
I'm not sure what it is you've heard, but assuming everyone in the city to be cruel is a bit much. Then again, I suppose we all have stereotypes. People who've lived in cities all their life might assume those from rural areas to be ignorant and uneducated... Though in your case, it looks like the first stereotype does hold.
[And now to glide right over that insult.
Hiyori blinks, surprised to be asked the same question again. It's true, though—he never did answer the first time.]
You said you wanted to know so you could destroy them, right? That makes me less-than-inclined to tell you, quite frankly! But I suppose it couldn't hurt to let you know the basics?
[He sticks a finger in the air, waving it as he gives his "lesson."]
Essentially, an idol is someone who sings, dances, and shines! There are other things we get involved with too, of course, such as talk shows. But songs are the universal language, so that's the main thing we're known for. The idea is that, while watching us dazzling idols perform, all your troubles will slowly melt away. You'll be transported to a land where only happiness exists—a sort of paradise, if you will. And your heart will be full to bursting with love for us.
