[ He laughs. ]

You're not wrong. But... he's actually a lot better than he used to be. Although, he's still a complete tsundere.

[ And that will probably never change, now that he thinks about it. ]

[dereban]

[...]

I can't believe you actually called someone a tsundere. [ Inaba's voice is so flat that she can't help but stare at him with the most skeptical of looks. ]

[swirlied]

[ He buries his face in his hands for a moment. Honestly, he should keep those thoughts to himself. ]

You would think the same thing if you got to know him, I promise!

[dereban]

You do know that tsunderes are only tsundere towards the person they like, right?

[swirlied]

It can't just be towards everyone?

[ In other words: Yuuri is completely oblivious. ]

[dereban]

.... if it's towards everyone, I think even I'd be creeped out.

[swirlied]

You're right.

[ He pauses. ] Wolf always took the engagement a lot more seriously than me, but he cares a lot about his image so... I just thought that was how he acted in general.

[dereban]

Well... he probably thought it was real.

[ She rests a hand on her chin, deep in thought as she hums to herself before lowering it, swinging both arms behind her. ] But if he cares about his image, he's probably scared of rejection.

[swirlied]

That's true...

He was actually pretty against it at first, and even challenged me to a duel.

[dereban]

[ There's... a raise of brows at that. ]

That's really old fashioned. Did you win?

[swirlied]

I've noticed royalty in Shin Makoku is actually pretty old fashioned.

[ It took a while to get used to. ]

But yeah, I did. I ended up using powers I had no idea I even had.

[dereban]

That's... interesting.

[ That it's so old fashioned like that. Inaba wears an awkward smile of her own. ]

I see. He probably was impressed that you won.

[swirlied]

I think so. He wasn't exactly nice after I beat him but... I think he actually respected me a little after.

[dereban]

That's a good thing, isn't it?

[swirlied]

Yeah, it is. It would have been hard to trust him if there wasn't at least some kind of respect between us, you know? It's important, especially when he's one of my guards.

[dereban]

That's true... I mean, it would be bad if your guard ended up betraying you.

[swirlied]

[ Yuuri frowns, just slightly. The memory of Conrad betraying him feels like so long ago, but it's still painful to think about. ]

Yeah... it's pretty common, though. At least it is in historical dramas.

[dereban]

Do you watch a lot of historical dramas?

[ Just out of curiosity. ]

[swirlied]

Yeah, it's actually my favorite genre.

[dereban]

The more you know, I guess.

[ She can't help but hum with a bit of curiosity, glad that she learned something new about him today. ] Why exactly do you like it?
