[Ah, this is too sad. She's just staring at her food too now. How did that ice cream keep, seriously.

At least the scene is peaceful.]

Yes, I think now you would be assigned to much more aggressive tasks. Teamwork and specialties are still important.

[magic ice cream

He watches for a bit longer, then the music starts up again as the film ends.]

Open fields and smashing into the enemy. Not really anything special except that I'm harder to break than the others.

[With the credits rolling, he goes back to cleaning his sword.]

[Donut how did you find this.

She's doing that very discreet while the credits started to roll...]

Some of that still works, but it depends on how. It's not as straightforward anymore. That being said, with your body, I think they would be able to let you do whatever you want more often.

[She can now actually finish eating?!] Do you want to watch something else?

[also magic....?

he pats the powdered ball against the blade.]

With my body? You mean the fact that I can't die as easily?

[This is amazing, need to take him shopping everywhere.

She's finishing the ice cream though because she's not taking anymore chances.]

Yes, you're much more sturdier than humans. Also you're very strong. That's a trained body.

[but his powers only work for food

He keeps chewing away at his jerky, but man, now he wants ice cream, too. He's going to gain 5000 pounds.]

Not really training. I just woke up this way.

[That's good enough, food is important.

They can definitely go for seconds after she's done...what a fat.]

But it works like a body that a human trains for a long time for, no? That and it's harder to injure you.

[what a pair of happy fatties]

Yeah, guess that's true. I can get hurt, but I heal faster, that's all.

[They're going to need so much exercise BUT WORTH IT.]

Mmm, a lot of us fight directly too because we can withstand injuries and heal up faster! [Though her appearance doesn't make anyone confident in her skills, unlike Doutanuki.]

So the countries go into war themselves, too? Isn't that dangerous?

[She...actually never thought about it like this. This might be the first time anyone asked her this?!]

Well, we can't really die, so it shouldn't be...but yes, we have been captured before as prisoners. [She heard stories about England's cooking being used as torture (okay not that bad but France was probably the one telling it after he heard from the Italian brothers.)]

...Isn't that really bad? You're a country. You're more important than any shogun or master, and yet you put yourselves on the front lines?

[She really doesn't understand why they keep putting her on a higher pedestal!]

A-ah, I am not more important than any master, o-or shogun. [Shogun?] World leaders are our bosses! I am just a vassal.

[That...doesn't seem right.]

You're a country. Even if you can't "die" in a conventional sense, your distress is your country's distress, isn't it? Wouldn't it be a bad thing to put such an important person in the line of fire?

[Now she's beginning to make sense why they, like Doutanuki, keeps making sure she's never in battle. It took a while to convince Haru that she's nothing more than a vassal.]

Well, it sort of is, but it isn't? How to explain...I can feel the distress, but as long as I am there, life continues. And I am always still there. So I try to do what I can by going into battle, since I can help. I'm not that important, even though the country is.

[He tries. HE IS REALLY TRYING to understand, so he stares at her for a good, say, thirty seconds.]

...Yeah, I don't get that.

[COMPREHENSION: FAILED.

So he'll just stick to his idea that even if she can't die, she's a VIP. That makes sense to him.]

Point is, here you gotta be more careful, right?

[She's going to stare back, she's going to let him think.

SHE FAILED.]

You will be pleased to know that I do have to as now I am mortal here. [With powers, sure. But still a fleshy bag.] I believe if I am careless, you will scold me.

Yeah, good bet.

[He leans back again and closes his eyes. Because even if he'll scold her, he won't listen to the same scolding if it's directed at him.

Hypocrisy! /jazzhands]

[SHE WOULD JUST SHAKE HER HEAD AT HIM.]

Well, I will listen to you...if you also try to keep safe as well.

[Though this is harder since he keeps thinking she's important?! DAMMIT.]

[He shrugs, then goes back to cleaning the sword, wiping the powder off with a dry cloth before sliding it back into the saya.]

Don't have to worry about that. Haven't been to any good battles here that mattered recently. A damn shame, too.

[Looks like he's nearly done. And she's finished with her donuts now, so she sits up to watch.]

It seems some of the swords are too tired to battle as well, like myself. I would offer to fight, but I am very exhausted. [Thanks for the mood crash, water element.]

Yeah, I had that awhile back. Damn near fell asleep wherever I went, but now? [He shrugs.] Feel just fine.

[Even if he wasn't feeling fine, he'd feel fine, which is kind of weird, but he doesn't notice much of a difference.]

If you're tired, shouldn't you be resting more?

Goodness, I remember seeing many endure that too. Other than you. And now with Mutsunokami, we could not even find the energy to reach for the remote control, sometimes. [But she puts more pressure on herself to work harder!

She stretches and yawns, but she shakes her head.]

I try, but I am unsure how much help it is.

[That's weird... Dotanuki frowns and set his sword by his side, propped up against the couch.]

That explains Mutsunokami being strange lately, then. I wonder if something weird is going on at CERES again.

[She nods, setting aside the bowl now that Dotanuki has finished, which means table space!!]

Yes, we were very energetic until recently. I could suspect that. As while we were energetic, a few of us were able to walk over water too. Like myself and Kousetsu.
