From Raul’s perspective Rishe’s actions are the funniest

Like for Theodore or Kyle or Michael or even the kids in the kingdom of domana she was just a nice very knowledgeable stranger with a heck of a talent for sniffing people’s business.

But Raul? He first met this woman when she saw right through him from meters away while he was hidden away like the SPY he is, fights the woman, dips, meets her again afraid of his cover already being blown but also not that much since his plan involves being found out anyway, she says nothing. Treats him like she knows him, absolutely unflappable in the face of him disappearing, freaking DRUGS the woman only for her to be somehow completely unaffected by a special poison blend he concocted and for her come to his rescue, and then when he apologizes for being a fucking mercenary and DRUGGING HER she goes “oh no harm done you didn’t do anything”

Like we read through Rishe’s perspective so we also by default take her loop knowledge for granted but imagine being the Raul of her 7th, how the hell do you even being to puzzle someone like that.

*Author’s note: Both of them are college students in Japan who are working together in this present setting!

Rishe wanted to show Arnold the joy and beauty in this world. That was why she always gave her all with events and festivities. That afternoon, as she changed into the costume she prepared earlier and went to the living room, Arnold, who sat on the sofa, furrowed his brows slightly, then spoke.

“What’s… with that outfit…?”

“It’s Santa Claus, Arnold-senpai!” She was wearing a one-piece dress with a mini-skirt made from red velour fabric and lined with cute white pompoms, the design showing off her décolletage. “This looks a bit embarrassing, but it seems to be the most popular design from the store. I need to keep up on researching current trends to help with choosing my future career path!”

As Arnold fell silent, Rishe became a little bit uneasy.

“Senpai, perhaps, are you unfamiliar with Christmas…?”

“It’s the day for which you kept looking in advance at catalogues and have been making reservations for various foodstuffs, right? Also, it’s that day that you will declare you will refuse to accept any expensive gift I would give you.”

“Your perception of things is too biased!”

“I know you’re the type to take events very seriously, and I’m aware how you devote yourself into helping me. However…”

 Arnold sighed and gently patted the space next to him on the sofa. She realized he was beckoning her to seat there so she did, and she was then wrapped with a fluffy blanket.

“!”

“But it’s more important to me you don’t freeze while doing so.”

That voice close to her ears was very gentle, yet it tickled. Rishe gripped the edge of the blanket tightly, trying to hide her face.

(…Even though it’s already so hot here…)
