[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.

[spacialeyes]

Please do. You can take advantage of me at any time, so long as it serves you positively to do so. [he's made it worse.

But his coffee arrives to distract him.]

Huwaah... It's creamcheese on top??

[dereban]

You can't say it like that, either...!

[ And her face is a tomato. What the fuck. ]

[spacialeyes]

[He sips his coffee and has decided he'll finish it. Inaba looks kind of cute when she blushes and he needs to punish himself for thinking that.]

It's starting to sound like I can't say anything around you.

[dereban]

That's because you're saying things like "take advantage of me"-- of course I'm going to get embarrassed.

[spacialeyes]

Well, I don't want for you to think that you need to keep "fairness" in mind when making a request of me. You can focus on yourself.
