[Today was another round of getting those embers. Kiyohime has not a single clue how ANY of that worked, so she didn't ask. Just focus on Anchin, getting married and trying not to think too much about Tamamos fluffy tails. ~~But they look so nice...~~

As she walks down the halls, she happened to spot the support for the day, one Osakabehime. Who looked to be crouched down in the middle of the hallway, reading something. Typical really. Kiyohime could only sigh at the sight, and knew that it was up to her to drag the neet off. Again.]

Okki, I know you want to stay in your room and delve into whatever you ordered, but this really isn't the place. Come on, we're needed in the control room.

Hmmm?

[Osakabehime was immersed in her light novel that had some high ratings from the online store she ordered from (although she had different thoughts and was thinking about how to construct a scathing review) before she looked up to see her friend getting her attention.]

Oh, Kiyohi. Heyo.

[Her return greeting would usually sound cutesy if it were said by anyone else. As it is, she replies with the cheerfulness of a rock. And for good reason.

Kiyohime is going to make her go outside.]

Can't it wait?? Surely another Assassin would be more useful than me? Besides, I have three more chapters to digest. It's important to me, y'know?

[even if it's a trash LN, but she's gonna finish it dammit and stay inside trying!]

Oh, I'm sure another one would be better to have. But I'm not the one making the choices, I'm just a dutiful wife. [Actual wife status needs verification.

But it really wasn't her call to make. She scoffs a little as her friend tries to use flimsy reasoning.]

And really now, unless that book is about advice on dating, I doubt it can be that important.

If it is that, I will give up if you let me read it later.

[PRIORITIES]

[No comment on wife status, it's a given Okki just lets Kiyohime thinks what she wants.]

It's a light novel Kiyohi. And to be honest, I don't think it would be up your alley since the main character is basically a generic harem protag. Not sure if a wifely lady like yourself would approve.

[Regardless, Assassin sighs, shutting the book. It's been easier than usual to coax her out and do work nowadays, if only because she's fond of their Master and is more than willing to do a favor or two for them.]

But anyway, I'll go with you before you overheat and singe the pages. Are we just gathering materials or is an event going on?

[The sound Kiyohime makes in response is best described as if she almost vomited.

Who knows what would have actually come out.]

Disgusting. I bet it's one of those that involves the lech showing up after being hit by a truck, right? Maybe some elves in chains too and everything is like one of your games?

[You know, only someone who actually delved into LNs would realize those are COMMON trends. The unfamiliar would be wondering why they show up so much.]

It's just normal gathering... although it is October.

Don't go dropping more castles, okay?

Oh, c'mooon! It wasn't a truck this time!

[Okki wrinkles her nose at Kiyohime for that last comment. Sheesh that was unwarranted (no it isn't)]

That's not gonna happen again. That time in the spotlight was more than enough! Someone else will be on rate up!

Is it a train then? You know that those hack writers just keep using the same tools.

[Kiyohi stop showing your nerd cred]

Oh? This coming from the shut in that somehow seems to be involved in a lot of things that happen around?

Still amazed you put a spotlight on yourself at all though. Not only that, but no invites for that grand entrance of yours.

[Is Kiyohime bitter she was only a bonus unit?

Maybe.]

I mean, I didn't mean it to be!! I just wanted some privacy [~~of the eternal kind~~] and you know things just went a liiiitle overboard. You know what I prefer!

Ah, let's not argue semantics now though. I'll just drag myself back inside at this rate if we're just gonna squabble.

[she isn't the kind to egg on an angry dragon girl anyways]

I could be working on doujin or grinding M*nster Hunter or something...

Yeah, I know. You like being alone with your only form of contact being a chat program. I still would like an invitation sometime, as unlike some people, I actually care about you.

But let's get this over with, before someone starts to think I've left Anchin and made you my new husband.

[Nobody would think that, some would like that. Namely Master.]

Ugh. We better avoid that route.

[i (kinda) love you bruh but not in that way bruh

anyways, to the control room they go!!]

... Honestly, Maa-chan is just as insistent as ever aren't they? I thought they'd just do some speedy grindy instead of calling me out.

I take offense to that. I am not worthy of an "ugh", for I am not a disgusting person.

[Just a disturbing one.

But yes yes, walking down halls, passing some staff, passing MHX griping about Sabers.]

Well, it would get boring after a while, so maybe something is being done to make this interesting. Like a theme.

... I don't know what theme we make that doesn't include Tamamo-san, but I'm trying with what I have.

You're nothing of the sort! You're passionately overbearing.

[It's a compliment really!]

Mmm, no Tomoe-chan then either? Maybe Master's going with a Classic Japanese Beauty or Princess Team or something.

Can you even blame me after what happened? Being passive is what led to that mess. [Define passive.] Really now, I could at least rely on you to want to stick around a house.

[That is probably the only praise you'll hear from Kiyohime about the hikikomori lifestyle.]

Tamamo-san certainly doesn't fit the classic look, with her lewd way of dressing, and Tomoe-san has a solid warrior look, which is not what either of us have.

... Actually, a lot of the others fit the warrior look, right?

We're delicate maidens surrounded by gorillas. There's no question about it really.

[Delicate... right...]

Although in your case Kiyohi, you're still quite intense.

I never asked to breathe fire, Okki.

[Which is certainly true. It takes more than that to be intense though.]

I'm just a maiden who was pushed to the edge. I'm no warrior, no knight or royalty, just a girl who would rather much be living a quiet and peaceful life.

Quietly stalking, you mean.

[She didn't mutter that under her breath, nope.]

[That probably would have gone better if they weren't side by side.]

Oh, that's just an unmentioned part. Have to make sure everything is going okay, right?

[But it went well because she has no issue with that.]

Riiiight. Right. You keep being yourself, Kiyohi. I'm sure Ma-chan wouldn't have it any other way.

[And here they are in the control room. Osakabehime doesn't look too enthused now that the real work is here.]

Uuuugh. Are you SURE I can't back out now?

[Kiyohime just stares at her buddy, looking like the darkness dweller just said something stupid.]

You left your chance to try that a while back, as we are now standing in front of the door here.

Cold feet must be crippling.

Sometimes, it never hurts to try!

[Now if only she could apply that logic to other areas in her usual behavior]

Ahhhhh, fine let's just get it over with already! Alright, what's on the missions today?!

You asked that at the start. It's nothing special.

[She's just going to walk in now.]
