Maybe.

[ She shrugs. ]

But I don't think I'd pick up gardening as a hobby or anything.

[spacialeyes]

I only have a cactus myself and it's mostly my sister's... But Nen is learning a lot about plans. There are so many more than I could ever have imagined.

[He hums thoughtfully,] What hobbies do you have?

[dereban]

Computers.

[ That's it, that's her answer. ]

[spacialeyes]

You can use a computer? Like... the ones with keyboards??

[dereban]

Yeah. I can also build one from scratch and program things into it.

[spacialeyes]

That's amazing!

[Yuuto's eyes sparkle with interest.]

Can you make one here??

[dereban]

If I had the right parts, I could do it pretty easily, sure.

[spacialeyes]

Wow... I've used a computer to watch videos before, but I don't know much about them. They're powered my magic in my world. Not many people know how to make real ones anymore.

[dereban]

If you want to learn, I wouldn't mind teaching you. But only if you want.

[spacialeyes]

Really? You wouldn't mind??

[His power is making things float again, this time from unrestrained happiness.]

How much would I owe you?

[dereban]

. . . 200 per hour.

[spacialeyes]

[He considers it for a moment, then nods.]

I-I can try to learn for a few hours then! If that’s alright? Just a little bit can’t hurt…

[dereban]

I was only joking about the payment.

[spacialeyes]

[...]

Is it higher?

[dereban]

Why are you expecting it to be higher?!

[spacialeyes]

Because education is expensive, right? And you'd be having to put up with me learning something new? What if I'm annoying??

[dereban]

. . . If you're being annoying, I'll deal with it. But I am willing to teach for free.

[spacialeyes]

You really mean it..? I-I promise to study hard. I can find a way to repay you too. Just ask and I'll do anything that you'd like.

[dereban]

. . . first of all, you can't just say that last part.

[spacialeyes]

And why not..?

[dereban]

Because that's how people will get you to do something stupid or--! Geez.

[spacialeyes]

But you wouldn't. So it's okay to offer anything to you, right?

[dereban]

You shouldn't trust me with that sort of thing, either.

[spacialeyes]

Well... I guess I can live to regret it, if you insist. But I'm really not too worried. You went into that other dimension unarmed just to help someone and you danced with me at that party, even though I was terrible. I trust you.

[dereban]

... that's enough to get you to trust me? Geez. I'll just keep that in my back pocket for now, then.
