And yet, Gimel and Aleph found a way around it. By meeting whenever the player’s resin was out, they discovered that they enjoyed each other’s presence a lot more than they had thought.

“Gimel!” The electro cube, shouted, making its way towards the geo’s platform. Said cube said nothing, but that was expected. The geo cube was a cube of few words. “I’m beat! So many players came to fight me! I barely had time to breathe after regenerating!”

“Hm.” was all Gimel said, while the electro cube danced around it.

“Anyways~” Aleph started, as the geo cube’s geo thing lifted in confusion. “What would you like to do?”

“It’s still early, you should go back to your platform.” Gimel said, simply. Aleph frowned. No one could see it, but it was.

“Aw, why?” Aleph asked, disappointment plain in his voice. Instead of prance-floating around the geo cube, it now stood still with a single shaking cube.

“Players might use their fragile resin. With Inazuma coming soon, they want to be as prepared for it as possible. We can’t let them see us together.” Aleph sighed with relief, it had thought it had done something wrong.

“Oh, Gimel, you’re such a worry wart! Loosen up a bit!” Aleph said, using its cube to poke Gimel at its core. What it didn’t expect was the following yelp. “Huh? What was that?” It tilted in confusion, going to try it again, resulting in another squeak from the geo cube.

Both were extremely confused until Aleph remembered that once before it was defeated, the players had been playing around in a … what was it called? A tickle fight?

“Oh! You’re ticklish!” Aleph exclaimed when it realized, watching geo cube’s nonexistent brow furrow.

“What’s ‘ticklish’?”

“I saw the players do this once. When you move a particular spot gently,” It paused, using a cube to caress at Gimel’s core. “It makes you laugh!” At that, Gimel let out another yelp, slightly panicked.

“Buhuhut thahahat doesn’t mahahake any sehehense!” Gimel shook its head, its voice unbelieveably high.

“You’re right! But it’s very fun!” Aleph said, as it continued poking at the area that seemed to make Gimel giggle.

“N-NAHahahaHA!” Gimel laughed, and it was just endless (there wasn’t really anywhere else they could be ticked so Aleph stayed there for a few minutes, very amused) until they heard the faint voices.

“Players!” Aleph gasped, immediately retracting it cubes from Gimel, who clamped his mouth shut. Before it could recover, the electro cube had already zoomed away as the players got to the platform.

It seemed that the tickling had weakened Gimel, seeing as how it was defeated a lot quicker than usual. The players took notice of this too.
