“Even with you saying that so sincerely… I can not trust you being around him.”
A pleasant smile graced Tei’s features, though deep red malice was evident in those cold eyes of theirs. There was no hesitance to deliver obvious truths to an enemy known for being intelligent and wise. Luka Megurine was not someone for her to play with. “You are on the wrong side and resistant to my new world order. You wouldn’t be giving me a message if that weren’t the case, right?”
There was no empathy or understanding to be had when consulting with enemies.
The will for compromise and communication from the other side was so funny… So so funny!
“Every Len-kun is destined to understand my mission of domination over Hatsune’s pathetic little faction,” she sneered. With light hearted optimism, Tei leaned slightly forward. “Though Luka-san in contrast… Is not to be trusted. ♪ “ Her words sounded sing-song, but Tei’s intent and meaning behind them was anything but pure.
“You will have to prove your worth to me before I offer my protection. Len-kun has unknowingly done so time and time again, so he’s worth all my risks ahaha!”
“Otherwise Luka-san, I will one day be forced to attack you. It’s unfortunately inevitable. I hope you understand, yes? My war is endless until I win this world.”
She stood in silence for a few moments, giving Luka time to take all their words in. Even though Tei had stated similar threats in a few of her songs displaying the android’s absolute unrest and hatred, she supposed it was a bit harder to accept when told personally. She was to at least give her that…
A small sigh escaped them as they rubbed the back of their neck. Messages from VOCALOIDs or fans of their kind were such a bore to deal with. “If your message is from Hatsune Miku or some form of protest against me… Please leave. I do not wish to see it.”
War? What war? Though there was knowledge that Tei was pretty liberal about destruction, she hadn’t really realised that there was an actual battle going on, one in which she had already taken sides regardless of her decision to want to be neutral in this. Anyway if it was a war she was trapped in, she didn’t particularly care: her message had to be given whether or not there was any threat of death.
“I understand,” she replied, though that was only half true. Why there was any necessity for all this hypothetical violence was unknown to Luka, but protesting it wouldn’t lead to any good consequences as Tei seemed too hell bent on razing VOCALOID to the ground (with the exception of her beloved, maybe?) to care about changing her mind. “I think it’s more of a business proposition than a peace treaty or a white flag, but if you’d care to hear me out I’d appreciate that.” A slight pause, and then onwards, “There’s going to be a large festival held soon, dedicated to everything VOCALOID. I’m sure you know the sort, a massive convention type affair with concerts thrown in. It’s a great opportunity for publicity and so far you’re the only person not affiliated with VOCALOID who’s wanted as a guest. I think you might like it and there’ll certainly be some interesting people there.” She paused again, a tight-lipped smile forming -- it seemed that those planning it had underestimated the silver haired robot. Violence would not translate well to this event. “I do suppose you’d be expected to behave, though.”
