DIVINITY.

    Mikan pauses, surprised anyone would offer her help. It’s only a moment of silence before she speaks again.

‘ A-Ah! No, thank you. You see, I’m the Ultimate N-Nurse. ‘

  the girl certainly didn’t seem like one, at first glance, at least.

  ❝ is that so...

  then, should you not take care of yourself,

  as you take care of your patients?

  i’d imagine

  taking care of yourself should be 

eehehe… ahem– so!

                                                  [ ┄┄┄ ♛ QUEEN OF LIES;; ♛ ┄┄┄ ]

  ❝ that request...

  is one that i cannot fufill. ❞

  kirigiri had gone to 

  being completely stoic once more.

  that bit of teasing and joking showed no trace,

  as her face was smoothed down to be unreadable.

  ❝ however, i’m sure you knew that,

“A-ah, right, of course.” He lets out a breath he hadn’t really noticed he was holding. Better than he was expecting, really. Although, the first person that pops into his head when referring to going to the park was Souda, but, well…if Souda’d told her that, that would mean Souda would have talked to her. He was a good guy, but he wasn’t really all that…good at talking to girls.

He could probably figure that out some other time, though.

  and, actually, being a little glad she could calm him down, at least. seeing people tensed

  made her a bit tense as well.

  ❝ being the super high school level

  detective, i figure you can figure it out

  from there, if you have any detective skills

  of your own. ❞

  her speech is meant to at least somewhat

  sound like a joke,

  but figuring the tone of voice she had,

  ❝ ... yes, i believe so. ❞

  she leans in slightly, observing the spot again--

  it seems clean, now, so she leans back once more.

  ❝ maybe you should check your face after eating, 

  next time. ❞

i wish .. i had the proper knowledge to appreciate

 the japanese history behind it .. but the art style and fight mechanics 

  ❝ is that so? i’ll be sure to play it, then.

  but would you mind giving me a bit of background

  on the game, then?

  -- but i myself have some knowledge on japanese history,

‘ Oh! No, it’s okay! Th-that happens sometimes. ‘

  ❝ so this is a common occurrence? ❞

  judging from the other attire, she was a hope’s peak student,

  much like the detective, but kirigiri couldn’t

  recall hearing about a girl who’s arms fall off frequently.

  ❝ ... do you require medical assistance? ❞

  not knowing that the one she was talking to was indeed a nurse,

…What’s she staring at? Did he do something? He doesn’t think he did anything wrong… So, what’s with the staredown then–

  ❝ not quite... ❞

  kirigiri motioned brushing off her own face

  to indicate the area the other should as well.
