Do you actually mean that?

[ Because he's feeling a vague sense of [X] DOUBT ]

[raygunner]

Why wouldn't I?

[trickstirring]

Do you want it in an essay or bullet point format?

[raygunner]

Point taken.
Truthfully, though, I do mean it.

[ He hits send and a moment later.... regret. Ugh. He hates this!!! ]

[trickstirring]

[ ... Oh.


He actually didn't expect that honesty. Hm. ]

I appreciate it.

Also, I found someone else from back home here. We're planning on making a contract together. I thought you should know.

[raygunner]

[ listen he can't believe it either ]

Oh? Is it someone I know?

[trickstirring]

Probably not. It's not someone from our group. His name's Iwai-san.

[raygunner]

Hmm. The name doesn't ring familiar, no.

Do you trust him, Kurusu-kun?

[trickstirring]

I do.

[ He's a max confidant, at least. ]

[raygunner]

I'm glad to hear it. I assume you'll be living with him, too, instead of the Down?

[trickstirring]

Yeah.

What, do you want my new address?

[raygunner]

Haha, no, I was only curious.

Unless you're willing to make coffee, of course.

[trickstirring]

I don't mind.

It'll probably be better than the coffee on this boat.

[raygunner]

[ ... ah. For some reason, he hadn't expected him to actually agree. ]

Then we'll have to meet for a cup of excellent coffee.

[trickstirring]

Definitely.

1000 yen per cup.

[raygunner]

Why, Kurusu-kun, I had no idea you were a con artist.

1/2

[trickstirring]

Don't you know that coffee that good is on average at least 1500 yen?

[trickstirring]

Also I'm just kidding.

[raygunner]

Haha, well, that's a relief. Besides... isn't my company payment enough?

[trickstirring]

It is. Plus, we have a lot to catch on that I'd rather talk about in person.

[raygunner]

How foreboding.

Regardless... once we're off this ship, shall we meet?

[trickstirring]

It's not that bad, probably.

But yeah. I'll tell Iwai-san that you'll be over so he isn't surprised by a sudden guest.

[raygunner]

[ "probably" ]

I appreciate it.

Then I'll contact you once we're back in the city, if that works for you.

[trickstirring]

Yeah, it works.

I'll hear you from you then.
