You can't always be by my side, right? [ She doesn't blame him, not in the slightest - she didn't even blame him when she saw it was him who stabbed her, since her immediate reaction was some sort of self-defense mechanism to keep her from freaking that said it wasn't him. ]
Besides, even Amakusa wasn't there, and he's the one who's supposed to prevent this from happening to me. If it's anyone's fault, it's this place's.
You don't have to promise something like that, onii-chan.. [ Even if it does really make her happy to hear that, even if it's something she really wants.. that would be selfish, right? He has a game to finish back home. ]
I mean, this happened to me, and.. well, I'm fine, right?
[ Just still a little traumatized over seeing her older brother stabbing her, but she's good at hiding everything always. ]
I'm happy that you're alright now, but... sorry. Whether you like it or not, your Onii-chan's going to watch over you more and more! Ihihihi! [ yes, he's kind of half teasing but he's completely serious with his promise. ]
[ well, at least she doesn't mind the half teasing in this situation - it actually makes her feel a little bit better after everything to see him just being himself so much rather than the one who stabbed her. ]
Then you'll have to take me out to ice cream sometime if there's somewhere in this place they sell that, okay? That's the most important part of it. [ it's okay, she's half teasing as well.. maybe even more than just half. ]
[ okay, this is getting embarassingly sappy for her.. and close to the tsun field.. but then again, this is Battler, and he always has some sort of special exclusion from the tsun field. ... well, most of the time, either way. ]
Yeah. One of the reasons I'm able to bear this place is since I have a chance to see you again here, onii-chan. Back home I wasn't even able to tell you my name..
[ oh... his expression softens quite a bit at that. it's the same for him--because he was able to be with everyone, and see them... well... alive.... he's hasn't been in as big as a rush as he probably should to leave. but battler's never been all that responsible in the first place ] No matter what, I'll stay here with you as long as possible.
... Me too. I want to stay here like this.. for as long as possible. So it's a promise.
[ well, at this point she also thinks she has nothing else to go back to, but all the same, being in a place with people she normally wouldn't be able to see from back home is always the better alternative. ]
Then, I'll be at your side as much as possible until then.
[ Though we all know how Battler is with promises... but he is really very determined to try to keep it -- as much as possible. Though, he knows that here, it can't be helped too much. Still, Battler was never one to go down in anything without a fight. ]
Lucky for us, the Gods seem pretty fond of us, huh?
Probably. But then again, he was the one always calling out to actually see the witch, right? Maybe I can trade my popularity with witches with him so they can stop bothering me and bother him as he wants them to instead.
If it were that easy, I'd definitely join you with that in a heartbeat! [ spoilers he's lying without realizing it... he actually does enjoy his time with beato... sometimes.... ]
