❀ 4th Konpeito ❀ [Video/Action]

VIDEO

[Late in the night of March 10th, an unholy hour for any interaction... this lovely face comes online.

...What is with this girl and terrible network posts...

In any case, her eyes are suspiciously red. Was she crying? Yes, she was. Not anymore, though. She seems pretty okay now. If 'horribly angry' is classified as okay for Saionji at this point.]

This has gone too damn far! This time, when I find out who stole my Lilligant, Nako, even torture won't be enough for you! I'll roast you alive in three different ways and end you every time you come back!

[...Yeah. There's a little pause as she sniffs and her commanding stance falters, but hell no is she crying.] It was my birthday yesterday... uuu... how can you be so cruel...

VIDEO: FILTERED FROM NANAMI CHIAKI

...If the thief wants to own up and stop delaying their punishment, they can find me at Goldenrod Inn. Don't expect me to go easy on you for admitting, though. Otherwise, I would... like... [...POLITENESS HOW DO] ...someone to teach me how to make chocolate cake before March 14th.

[Whew, that was all said in one breath. It was a nicely phrased request, oddly enough- she really needs to learn, okay. There's a pause.] I'll pay you. [Another pause.] And don't say a peep of this to Big Sis Nanami if you want to stay healthy!

ACTION

[And she is, indeed, hanging out in Goldenrod Inn instead of the Danganhouse. Room 142, actually. If you decide you have the patience and sheer courage to teach this kid how to bake, she'll come down and hog an empty spot in the inn's kitchen immediately. The staff are pretty lax...]

Comments

[konpeitoqueen]

Right after I touched down in Goldenrod. The next time I checked, I was already booked into Goldenrod Inn, and her Pokéball was gone.

[THINKING TIME...] Uhhh... there was almost no one around. I did wait outside the inn and almost fell asleep once, but I don't think I felt anyone come close to me.

['Saionji's Testimony' has been added to your Notes.]

[superordinary]

[ OH SWEET THINGS HE CAN USE AS EVIDENCE BULLETS it's been a while he got one of those. ]

Hmmm. Maybe we should search for clues at the, um, scene of the crime.

[konpeitoqueen]

There's nothing else there. No footprints, dirt, nothing! It's like they just Teleported to me and Teleported her away...

...Wait, I did feel something moving away from me, but not to me. I just thought it was one of my spare set of clothes falling to the ground, but when I opened my eyes to check, they were all still there.

[COMPILE THIS ALL AND MAKE A DEDUCTION, IT IS YOUR DUTY AS A PROTAG]

[superordinary]

In that case, isn't it possible that she wasn't stolen? She could have left on her own.

[konpeitoqueen]

There's no way she would've done that! She was eager to learn Buyo dancing and perform with me one day. Maybe some of my more troublesome ones, but not her.

[...eheheheh]

[superordinary]

Is performing with you what she wants or what you think she wants, Saionji-san?

[konpeitoqueen]

Weeell, no. Not exactly.

[Ahah-]

What she wants is attention! She'll go to any lengths to get it, from sucking up to me to trying to parade her fighting prowess, even though the rest of my party might be stronger than her! She's pathetically lame. That's why she couldn't have run away; because only I can give her that attention, through teaching her how to dance.

[...oh] Otherwise? She's just another Lilligant whose garland hasn't even bloomed!

[superordinary]

I'm sure she could get that attention from someone else... Someone who doesn't call her pathetically lame.

[ He really wouldn't be surprised if Nako decided to run off on her own at this point because Saionji doesn't exactly seem to be a grade A trainer. :|a ]

What do you mean, hasn't bloomed?

[konpeitoqueen]

But that's only fair of me to call her that, isn't it? If no one calls out their bad traits, they'll only join the ranks of lowlife scum in society.

[...but of course, no one can ever insult Saionji like that!] Big Bro Naegi, don't you know there's a flower on the top of a Lilligant's head? She just evolved, so it hasn't bloomed yet.

[BAM outright lie. The moment she evolved, it withered like a fucking dried shrimp.]

[superordinary]

Isn't the flower fully bloomed as soon as it's evolved...? [ He's no Lilligant expert since he doesn't even own one himself but that's what he assumed. When his Grotle became a Torterra the tree on its back was already fully grown. ]

And no, it's not fair of you to call her that. It hurts her feelings, Saionji-san.

[konpeitoqueen]

Nope! Apparently, it needs time for it to bloom.

[PokéDex Entry: The fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect. It withers if a Trainer does not take good care of it.] So what if it does? I'm not obligated to care! She's not even human.

[superordinary]

She's not human, no, but that doesn't give you the right to call her cruel things...

[ There's a pause, and for a brief second it almost looks like he's going to hang up. ]

I'm going to look around and see if I can find her.

[konpeitoqueen]

Ehhhh? And what gives you the right to tell me that, Big Bro Naegi?

I'm fine with you looking for her, of course- but don't even dream about getting her back, and releasing her again just because of what I said. [Teehee.] ...Actually, I might retract my statement- I don't want you looking for her.

After all, 'kind-hearted' hesitating fools only bring trouble.

[superordinary]

[ ...Saionji, he's starting to get fed up with your bullshit. ]

Y-You sound like a bully, Saionji-san. Disregarding Nako's feelings, calling her lame and saying you're not obligated to care...! You should stop doing that.

[konpeitoqueen]

[Good, it's long overdue.]

Ehhhh? A bully? That's just a word weaklings like to tab onto those rightfully above them. [Snicker.] I'm not obligated care for those under me! No one does.

But that stings, you know! That you should stoop down to using such lackluster words to compare me to... I thought you said you would protect me, Big Bro Naegi?

[She doesn't forget easily. Even things from before Christmas, when her hands with shivering with cold and her Mawile was a Level 5.]

[superordinary]

I did. B-but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn a blind eye to what you're doing, Saionji-san. [ Look at that, he's grown a bit of a spine. ]

What's the point in treating others like that?

[konpeitoqueen]

[Awww, good for you, Naegi-]

What's the point? Listen to yourself! You say such kind things... and yet, when the circumstances go awry, the people you never knew were capable would backstab and render!

Establishing your authority and keeping a vigilant attitude at all times! People think it cruel, but it's really the only realistic approach when you consider the fallacies of humans, and how weak most of them are.

The world is split between those of noble origin, like me, and those who can only serve us as our slaves... that's why she can be nothing more than my slave. You too, Big Bro Naegi!

[superordinary]

I'm not your slave, Saionji-san. And...I think you should try treating others the way you want to be treated yourself. What you're doing right now just hurts them...

[ Naegi seems to deflate a little. Ugh, this kid... ]

[konpeitoqueen]

Kyahahah! Even bringing up the 'treat others how you like to be treated' card... you just don't get it, do you, Big Bro Naegi?

Let me be so kind as to spell it out: I'm better than them. Better than most of the human race! [There, clear enough? She's been suppressing these thoughts for some time, to keep up the cute little girl facade- she's going to lay it think on you, Naegi!] As SHSLs, we have the right to treat them as whatever we want. We're the ones advancing the human race, after all! Not them.

...Oh, wait. You're SHSL Good Luck, right? That explains it.

[superordinary]

...

[ Suddenly, war Togami FTE flashbacks. These two come from two entirely different worlds, don't they?

This is one of those times when Naegi wishes he could articulate himself well enough to say something better than basic human decency though in a way that won't immediately get shot down. ]

...What do you get out of it? Treating other people the way you want and knowing that you hurt them, I mean.

[konpeitoqueen]

[UNFORTUNATELY TOGAMI AND SAIONJI ARE NOT QUITE DIFFERENT IN THE 'I'M BETTER THAN YOUR SHIT FACE' DEPARTMENT']

Isn't it obvious? It's so fun to see people's reactions! So many here are naive, to the point past stupidity... just the look on their faces are priceless!

I do what I want- and if I happen to want to treat you by what you term as 'badly', then so be it!
