Everyone in this world has been very nice to me, actually! I feel at home. Maybe that’s awful to say though?

[He shakes his head.]

Yes, please! But how would you match? Another animal for you?

[dereban]

Well... I guess, but I don't know what animal would represent me.

[spacialeyes]

Maybe… a bunny? Though I suppose temperament isn’t necessarily a concern and we could both be cats. I was raised by cats, but people say I act like a dog.

[Casually mentions.]

[dereban]

Why a bunny?

[ Now she's mildly curious! ]

Oh, you definitely have more dog traits.

[spacialeyes]

Because you don’t like to be alone, right?

[His wagging tail is definitely not at all dog-like.]

See?? I don’t completely get it. It’s not like I bark or anything?

[dereban]

Ah--

[...]

You don't need to bark to be similar to a dog. To me, you're... extremely loyal and are willing to help others who need it.

[spacialeyes]

[While he notices that she doesn’t comment on why he compared her to a rabbit, Yuuto does not push. Instead choosing to lean into accepting her comparison.]

Y-You think so? That’s overly kind to say… I’ll do my best to live up to your expectations and be a good dog.

[…]

Wait. Uh-

[dereban]

Don't be weird about it! Well, whatever. It's a better comparison than the one you gave me.

[spacialeyes]

I-I’m not trying to be weird..! Uh… Bunny… also suits you because you’re cute. Really cute.

[dereban]

You know, whenever someone else associates a person with bunnies, 'cute' isn't the first word that comes to mind...

[spacialeyes]

Eh? Do people of other worlds not consider bunnies to be cute??

[dereban]

Well it's more... the association leans more towards "sexy" first.

[spacialeyes]

[No brain and no hesitation-] Oh. Then it still fits!

[dereban]

You can't just say that so easily, even if you are right...!

[spacialeyes]

But it’s true! You’re the most attractive girl that I know. Is that not good to say somehow?

[dereban]

...It's embarrassing.

[...]

But since you said that, I'll have to wear a bunny girl suit for you sometime.

[spacialeyes]

[He doesn’t know what that is!!!]

Okay..! And I’ll wear the cat hoodie for you. I can’t wait..! Matching with Inaba… It’s a dream come true.

[dereban]

I wouldn't say that a bunny girl suit is matching... I'll probably just get a hoodie to ease you in, first.

[spacialeyes]

Oh… Got it. I’ll become strong enough to handle a bunny girl suit next.

[he has no idea what he’s in for. but he will probably die blushing when he finds out.]

Matching swimsuits will already be a lot. I’ve never tried matching anyone before, actually. Except maybe Yuuto’s mother when I was small.

[dereban]

I'm not sure you can become strong to handle it...

[spacialeyes]

Really..? Even if I work hard at it? If it’s for you, then I’ll look at bunny girls all day to practice.

[dereban]

Even if you look at others, I'm sure you'll still get flustered if you saw me in a bunny girl outfit.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto, who thinks “bunny suit” means a mascot costume, does not entirely follow. But he nods slowly anyway.]

Um… Maybe? I suppose that it’s true that your most beautiful quality is the way your eyes shine when you smile, so as long as your eyes are visible…

[dereban]

I guess I'll have to just show you when we're shopping for our swimsuits, then.

[spacialeyes]

[He’s a bit confused about why a bunny suit would be in the same store as a swimsuit, but you know what? Sure. He trusts her more than he doubts her.]

Yes, please! Thank you, Inaba. You’re always so kind to me. I love you!
