Oh! [He missed that part.] ...That's good then.

...If I could bring them, I would...because then the Fourth could join in, and see what I could see.

[abysmalactor]

What, you want him to know about this kinda stuff? What would a god benefit from learning about some ruins at the bottom of a lake?

[He's not feeling too charitable towards any gods right now, buddy.]

[soft_focus]

...I want him to see because he's my friend... [Reira sounds honestly hurt-and he flinches at the grumbling as well, cringing against his bucket.]

...He doesn't have a body, so he can't go to other places like I can... ...I wanted him to be able to see some of them...

[abysmalactor]

Huh?

[Sawatari tilts his head in confusion. Friends? With that guy? Seriously?]

I mean...since he's a god, wouldn't he already know about this kinda stuff?

[Somebody doesn't know about the story of the Fourth, does he.]

[soft_focus]

I don't know if he's really a 'god'....I think everyone just calls him that because he's really strong.

But he doesn't make me worship him, or do god things for him. We just like to play pinball, and duel monsters, and whack-a-mole...

[Wait back up DUEL MONSTERS?]

[abysmalactor]

Huh, really? So you just play games with him all the time...

[That doesn't sound much like a god...or the guy who just randomly dragged them all through the computers, but...hold up.]

Wait, Duel Monsters?

[soft_focus]

Yeah! He's lonely, I think. And the fog hurt him a lot, so he doesn't like watching the fog hurt everyone else.

[And oh uh-] Yeah! I showed him my cards a long time ago, and he already knew how to play...

...It was weird but it was fun!

[abysmalactor]

Huh, so I guess that's why he's all up against ol' Foggy, then...

[Sawatari shrugs. He's more interested in the second part of that.]

Wait, how'd he already know how to play, then? Duel Monsters doesn't exist here beyond us, does it?

[soft_focus]

I don't know. ...Maybe someone taught him?

[But..............who???]

[abysmalactor]

Huh...well...I guess the only other people I can think of would be either Yuzu or Kurosaki, right? Since they're under him n' all...

[Or well, was, in the case of Kurosaki...his face crumples up into a frown just thinking about it.]

[soft_focus]

.... [Yeah... ...Kurosaki is gone, so...]

...I don't think he would have done that. ...He didn't even want me to go into the arcade.

...I don't think he'd want him to be able to play with me.

[abysmalactor]

[...Yeeeeaaaahhh we're not talking about Kurosaki anymore today, yep.]

Hunh...or maybe, since you're under him and all, he was able to learn about it by...I dunno, keeping tabs on you or something? Gods can do that, right?

[soft_focus]

Not really.

The 4th wasn't able to tell what I did in Lake Fors. I had to talk to him about it first, and he gave me a notebook after so that I could take notes better and remember more stuff next time.

[abysmalactor]

Huh, weird...but it's not like we can make that notebook waterproof or anything, right...?

[soft_focus]

I don't know...I could ask Mana?

[abysmalactor]

...Imagine if she told you to wash that thing with water.

[oh, he's snickering now.]

[soft_focus]

I don't want to lose all my notes though.....

[abysmalactor]

Well, she might make you do something different...I really don't get how doing any of these things she asks us to do makes these effects...

[...Wait, "us"? Shingo, why're you including yourself in this?]

[soft_focus]

Mnh...?

...Did you get a quest?

[abysmalactor]

...Huh? Yeah. Why you ask?

[soft_focus]

What was it for?

[abysmalactor]

Eh...my duel disk and deck. I've gone long enough without it, wouldn't you say?

[soft_focus]

...You have it back?! [well]

[abysmalactor]

No, not yet...I just got the quest a little while ago, so I haven't really gotten the things together for it yet...

[You know. Because of the computer mindwalking thing, ha ha ha...]

[soft_focus]

You haven't?!

[Whaaaat.] I always get started right away, so I don't forget anything. If you forget what she said, you might get something wrong!
