Question for whoever isn't bored out of their bodies by this place. What kind of things do you do to not be bored? I mean, do you go to hang out at any place in specific or something? Specially when going with someone, assuming you don't spend every time just in each others' houses.

I assume dinner out is a good idea but I'm pretty sure there has to be something else to do in this prison.

[Yes, this is a request for ideas for a date. Hopefully he has worded it in a subtle enough way that no one will notice it. Bwahaha, behold his master plan.]

Don't bother suggesting the library, that one doesn't count.

Rin,

Sorry for not answering your last letter in such a long time. I've spent most of the last month doing missions in an attempt to not drive myself nuts. Anyway I have a question for you: with whom does one have to talk to make a reservation or something where you work?

- Ikki

[This comes later in the day, actually at night. It's earlier than when he usually contacts her to wish her good night, but he knows that.]

Did you go to sleep already, Kotomi-chan?

... Is that a bad thing..?

[Why do you ask that... Oh God, you are going to do it if he doesn't stop you, right??]

Some things aren't for everyone to know.

[ Of course she is! It makes her happy, so why wouldn't she tell everyone if he doesn't stop her? ]

Like this..?

Yeah, like this. Those are our private conversations aren't they, between you and me. No one else has any business in our conversations.

[Okay, trying to stop her from saying this and anything else to others ever again.]

... If Ikki-kun says so, then I won't tell anyone else.. I wouldn't want to do anything bad.

It's not something bad... It's just something between us both that no one else needs to know about.

So it's like a special kind of secret that me and Ikki-kun share.. .. that sounds nice.

... Yes... That's exactly what it is.

[You're his ruin girl. He knows it. It won't be a God or an enemy warrior which will slash him down to the ground, it will be a freaking little girl that is the incarnation of moe.]

Do yo-... What a-.... Have you thought of anything you want to do tomorrow?

Tomorrow..? [ ... ] Is anything special going to happen tomorrow?

[ she's apparently completely oblivious to the fact he seems flustered. ]

[He's not flustered. He just wasn't sure how to ask the question.]

Not that I know of. But maybe you had something planned.

No, I don't at all. I just thought I'd go to the library to read, but that's not really a plan.. it's just what I always do.

Don't you ever do anything else?

Not usually. ... Why? Does Ikki-kun think it's a bad thing to go to the library to read?

I didn't say it was a bad thing! I was just wondering if you aren't curious sometimes to do something different.

Not really. Just sitting there and reading books.. that's fine with me. I really like my days like this, when I'm able to read books and talk to Ikki-kun a lot too.

What about taking a walk? Have you ever gone to the forest?

No, I haven't. Can't it be dangerous to go walking in the forest..?

If you're worried about danger we could go together. I've gone out many times on walks with Hyoga and nothing has ever happened.

[Oh, look, he has managed to say it in a way that doesn't sound like asking her out or anything. That's right, he can go with her if she wants, if she doesn't she can go alone, as if he really cared if they go together or not.]

[ But now she won't think of it as a date, Ikki..!! It might work for you this way, but she's much too oblivious.. ]

... Huh? Ikki-kun and me.. having a walk in the forest together?

[He gets all defensive now.]

If you want. I go there often anyway so it doesn't matter to me. If you prefer someone else like that Battler you can ask them too, I was just doing a suggestion.

[... Wow, he has never disliked someone so much even without knowing them in person. He hates Mitsumasa Kido but he met him, even if it was briefly.]

.. Huh.. [ She's confused, but part of her almost sounds a little wibbly like she's hurt too. ]

What does Battler-kun have to do with this? Ikki-kun and me were going to walk together, right..?

[... He should close the journal and just... Feign that nothing of this ever happened, that he never met Kotomi and was never with her due an experiment. Really.]

I was just wondering that maybe you would prefer to go with someone else that wasn't me, that's all.

[His tone is calm at least.]

... I want to go with Ikki-kun. Not someone else.

T-.. that's not a bad thing, is it..?

No, it's not a bad thing. If you want that we will go together.

[Not that he cares, it's not a good thing either!]

Are you sure you wouldn't like more to go with one of your friends?

[Ikki why aren't you saying "other", what aren't you included as her friend?]

[ Don't make her more sad, Ikki.. ]

... But I'm going with one of my friends, right? Or is Ikki-kun saying he doesn't want to be my friend..?
