I Couldn’t Just Ignore It
Card: PE Uniform - R
Characters: Kalim, Ortho, Idia (mentioned)
Kalim: Ahh, I’m starving! Our fitness training was so hard today.
Hmm-hmm~♪ Alright, lunchtime~... huh?
That little kid over there is Idia’s younger brother Ortho, right?
Kalim: Hey, Ortho! Why are you moping around by yourself?
Ortho: Kalim Al-Asim-san... Hello...
Kalim: Hi... wait, hold on. What’s wrong? You look really down in the dumps.
I’m always here to talk if something’s bothering you!
Ortho: Well, the thing is, today Big Brother and I promised that we’d play outside together.
Kalim: Idia? Playing outside? That’s great!
Ortho: Mhm. We were planning to take the new drone he built out for a test run.
But I guess he narrowly missed out on getting the ranking rewards from his PC game...
And that made him very upset, so I came out here by myself.
Kalim: What’s up with him? All he did was lose a game... His promise to play with his little brother should be way more important.
Ortho: Don’t bad-mouth Big Brother!
Ortho: He’s nice, smart, and the best big brother ever. He’s only just a tiny bit weird...
Kalim: ...I hear you. He’s important to you—I’m sorry for bad-mouthing him.
Ortho: It’s okay. I’m just glad you understand.
Kalim: Hey, I know! How about you play with me instead of Idia?
Ortho: Huh? Is that okay?!
Kalim: Yeah! The best cure when you’ve got the blues is to party hard!
Alright, why don’t we play with that dro-thingy?! I’ve got no idea what we could do with it, though!
Ortho: I don’t mind anything as long as we’re playing together. We could do whatever you want, Kalim Al-Asim-san!
Kalim: Oh! Then why don’t we dance?
Kalim: All you gotta do is dance to the music and your bad thoughts will go far, far away.
Ortho: Sounds fun! I’ve never danced before. I want to try it together!
I’ll install dancing data right now.
Ortho: Mhm! My program doesn’t have any data on how to dance yet.
What kind of dance are we doing? Waltzing? Salsa? Breakdancing?
I’m not really sure, so I’ll just add all of it!
Kalim: You can learn anything immediately like that? That’s amazing!
But it’s no fun to do something perfectly right away.
Kalim: Nope. The fun comes from practicing and slowly getting better and better at it!
Sure, you might not get it at first, but if you just sway your body to the music, you’ll figure something out.
Ortho: Hmm... But is it possible to learn that way? It’s not very efficient.
Kalim: It’ll work out! I promise I’ll stay with you until you learn how to dance.
Kalim: Why are you laughing all of a sudden?
Ortho: No reason. I was just thinking that you’re very nice, Kalim Al-Asim-san!
I’ve got little brothers too. I couldn’t just ignore it when you looked lonely by yourself.
Ortho: I didn’t know you had little brothers!
Kalim: Yeah, a bunch of them! Another one was born just the other day.
I’ve got so many younger brothers and sisters that they could make up an entire dorm!
Ortho: Wow! You really have that many?
Kalim: And every single one of them is adorable.
Ortho: Ehehe. Kalim Al-Asim-san’s younger siblings must be very lucky!
Kalim: Ah! My stomach... Oh right, I still haven’t had lunch yet.
I’m going to go eat the lunch Jamil made before we start dancing. You should come with me!
Kalim: ...Speaking of, what do you usually eat everyday, Ortho?
