YAHHO~~ Hello, everyone!~
My name is Saki Tenma, and I'm a member of the incredible band, Leo/need, along with Ichika Hoshino, Honami Mochizuki, and Shiho Hinomori! I hope you all continue to enjoy our music~
oh, also, if you're a monster, I would suggest you reveal it to me! Not every monster hunter gives their victims a quick and painless death, after all~
... Was that good enough? Did I... Convince them with that...?
[There was a knock on the door.]
(@down-to-play-bass)
Ah~? Now who could that be?~
She rushes to the door, quickly opening it.
[Trimmed]
Stop it...
Alright, alright.
How dare you... You're being mean to me...
Even with her pathetic wet cat tone, it's clear that she's joking.
I was complimenting you five seconds ago.
Complimenting me to tease me...
You were also doing that less than five minutes ago.
Evil and mean… How dare…
[Shiho let out a sigh.]
Uwwah...
…just come sit down.
... Wouldn't say no to that...
She quickly jumps next to Shiho, trapping her in a hug.
Gh- hey, I still have to breathe, you know.
I'm not hugging you that tight...
[There was a knock on the door.]

... Why not...? I'm sure that she'll understand...
I just…don’t want it to change how she treats me. She’s already trying to convince me to quit being a monster hunter, I don’t want to give her more motivation to get me to quit or treat me like I can’t handle it.
... I see... Well, if you just tell her that you want to stay, to... Protect who you love, I'm sure she'll understand...
I’ve tried…she just offers to carry it all herself and I-
[Shiho took a deep breath.]
I don’t want her to feel like that sort of weight on her own.
... You can... Try to reassure her? To tell her that she doesn't need to bear all that by herself?
Shizuku…trying to get her to rely on others is easier said than done. And if I’m the one asking…
... well... You can try taking it step by step.
How so?
I'm, uh... Not really sure? But... We can figure it out together.
Yeah. Okay. I like the sound of that.
... Then... What should we do?
Maybe…you could walk me home? It might be easier if you’re there while we talk.
Of course. Let's go~
[Shiho stood up, wincing as she stepped on her sprained foot.]
I might. Need your help with more than talking to Shizuku.
Saki stood up beside her.
You can lean on me if you want to~
I kind of have to.
Mhm~ c'mon, Shiho-chan~
[Shiho leaned against Saki, using the other as extra support as she walked.]
Alright, so... What do we do with Shizuku-chan...?
Talk, I guess. She’s probably gonna be worried after she sees my injures, so maybe just start off with calming her down first.
Mn. Good idea...
[Shiho nodded, turning her focus back to making sure she didn’t faceplant onto the ground.]
Saki walks beside her, humming to the beat of purpose.
[A while later, and the two arrived at the Hinomori household.]
Well…moment of truth, I guess.
I guess so...
... Should I open the door for you?
Probably for the best.
Saki takes a breath, and opens the door.
Ah, Shii-chan! I-
Shizuku quickly noticed Shiho's bruises and bandages.
... Shii-chan. What happened.
…fought off some gargoyles.
Saki tried to hide behind Shiho. After all, Shizuku is scary when she's angry.
Names. Right now.
I didn’t get any.
God, fuckin'-
... Well, it's good that Saki-chan got you patched up, but why didn't you tell me?
…didn’t want to give you more reason to get me to quit.
...
Why not, though...? It's... It isn't doing well for you, and... I can be here to protect you and the people you want me to protect...
I don’t want that though. I knew getting hurt would come with the job when I signed up for it. But I don’t want you to get hurt on your own.
Though I- being hurt on my own is better than you being hurt!
No, it’s not!
It- it is! I don't want you hurt!
I don’t want you hurt either!
[Shiho took a deep breath, her shoulders shaking.]
But I know you won’t stop being a hunter. So the least I can do is bear the pain with you.
You- you don’t need to, though! I can protect anyone for the both of us, you don’t need to hurt yourself for that!
You don’t need to hurt yourself for both of us! I get you want to protect me. But I need you to have some more faith in me.
I have faith in you, of course I do! I just don’t know what to do when I find you hurt like this!
…you can trust that I’ll make it through. You can help me up. Just…don’t make me stop.
I’m… Al… Alright. I’ll… I’ll try to be less overbearing.
That's all I ask.
I will try. It- it may be a bit hard, but… I will try.
I know. And as long as you're trying, I think that's all I need.
Alright. I’m… I’m glad for that.
[Shiho smiled, a breath of relief escaping her.]
with a smile, Shizuku let her arms out, offering a hug.
[Shiho paused, looking at the distance between herself and Shizuku.]
Shizuku, if I let go of Saki I’m going to end up on the ground.
Ah- oh, no- I'm so sorry-
She takes Shiho off of Saki, wrapping her in a hug.
[Shiho leaned into Shizuku’s hug, making sure not to put too much pressure on her injured foot.]
Shizuku takes Shiho inside, placing her on the couch.
[Shiho sat back, relaxing into the couch.]
Awwh... She's so cute...
She really is, isn't she...?
Wh- hey, she’s right here.
She indeed is, and I simply want her to hear me praise her~
The only thing I did was sit down.
Doesn't stop you from being cute~
…hm. Takes one to know one, I guess.
A successful parry.
H- HUH?!-
You’re not the only who can call her girlfriend cute, you know.
I- uhm- I guess so-
... She's completely red already.
Hm? You’re awfully red, Saki. Are you feeling alright?
[She grinned.]
I'm- I'm fine! No need to look!
She tries to cover her face.
You’re acting like I never praise you.
Not that often-!
Can’t handle a taste of your own medicine?
no...
[Shiho chuckled.]
Figures you’d be worse than me when it comes to handling compliments.
'm not...
[There was a knock on the door.]

... Well, it's good that Saki-chan got you patched up, but why didn't you tell me?
…didn’t want to give you more reason to get me to quit.
...
Why not, though...? It's... It isn't doing well for you, and... I can be here to protect you and the people you want me to protect...
I don’t want that though. I knew getting hurt would come with the job when I signed up for it. But I don’t want you to get hurt on your own.
Though I- being hurt on my own is better than you being hurt!
No, it’s not!
It- it is! I don't want you hurt!
I don’t want you hurt either!
[Shiho took a deep breath, her shoulders shaking.]
But I know you won’t stop being a hunter. So the least I can do is bear the pain with you.
You- you don’t need to, though! I can protect anyone for the both of us, you don’t need to hurt yourself for that!
You don’t need to hurt yourself for both of us! I get you want to protect me. But I need you to have some more faith in me.
I have faith in you, of course I do! I just don’t know what to do when I find you hurt like this!
…you can trust that I’ll make it through. You can help me up. Just…don’t make me stop.
I’m… Al… Alright. I’ll… I’ll try to be less overbearing.
That's all I ask.
I will try. It- it may be a bit hard, but… I will try.
I know. And as long as you're trying, I think that's all I need.
Alright. I’m… I’m glad for that.
[Shiho smiled, a breath of relief escaping her.]
with a smile, Shizuku let her arms out, offering a hug.
[Shiho paused, looking at the distance between herself and Shizuku.]
Shizuku, if I let go of Saki I’m going to end up on the ground.
Ah- oh, no- I'm so sorry-
She takes Shiho off of Saki, wrapping her in a hug.
[Shiho leaned into Shizuku’s hug, making sure not to put too much pressure on her injured foot.]
Shizuku takes Shiho inside, placing her on the couch.
[Shiho sat back, relaxing into the couch.]
Awwh... She's so cute...
She really is, isn't she...?
Wh- hey, she’s right here.
She indeed is, and I simply want her to hear me praise her~
The only thing I did was sit down.
Doesn't stop you from being cute~
…hm. Takes one to know one, I guess.
A successful parry.
H- HUH?!-
You’re not the only who can call her girlfriend cute, you know.
I- uhm- I guess so-
... She's completely red already.
[There was a knock on the door.]
(@down-to-play-bass)
Ah~? Now who could that be?~
She rushes to the door, quickly opening it.
[Trimmed]
... Why not...? I'm sure that she'll understand...
I just…don’t want it to change how she treats me. She’s already trying to convince me to quit being a monster hunter, I don’t want to give her more motivation to get me to quit or treat me like I can’t handle it.
... I see... Well, if you just tell her that you want to stay, to... Protect who you love, I'm sure she'll understand...
I’ve tried…she just offers to carry it all herself and I-
[Shiho took a deep breath.]
I don’t want her to feel like that sort of weight on her own.
... You can... Try to reassure her? To tell her that she doesn't need to bear all that by herself?
Shizuku…trying to get her to rely on others is easier said than done. And if I’m the one asking…
... well... You can try taking it step by step.
How so?
I'm, uh... Not really sure? But... We can figure it out together.
Yeah. Okay. I like the sound of that.
... Then... What should we do?
Maybe…you could walk me home? It might be easier if you’re there while we talk.
Of course. Let's go~
[Shiho stood up, wincing as she stepped on her sprained foot.]
I might. Need your help with more than talking to Shizuku.
Saki stood up beside her.
You can lean on me if you want to~
I kind of have to.
Mhm~ c'mon, Shiho-chan~
[Shiho leaned against Saki, using the other as extra support as she walked.]
Alright, so... What do we do with Shizuku-chan...?
Talk, I guess. She’s probably gonna be worried after she sees my injures, so maybe just start off with calming her down first.
Mn. Good idea...
[Shiho nodded, turning her focus back to making sure she didn’t faceplant onto the ground.]
Saki walks beside her, humming to the beat of purpose.
[A while later, and the two arrived at the Hinomori household.]
Well…moment of truth, I guess.
I guess so...
... Should I open the door for you?
Probably for the best.
Saki takes a breath, and opens the door.
Ah, Shii-chan! I-
Shizuku quickly noticed Shiho's bruises and bandages.
... Shii-chan. What happened.
…fought off some gargoyles.
Saki tried to hide behind Shiho. After all, Shizuku is scary when she's angry.
Names. Right now.
I didn’t get any.
God, fuckin'-
