It's irritating. I don't care much for the missing two days...

Apart from what I can't remember, nothing about me or this city has changed.

I'd like to think that Sorata's theory holds some weight in this, because I don't want to believe that I've only ended up losing more of the memories that I had in this city. If that was part of some kind of joke, then I'm not laughing.

I'm going out for awhile.

Oh, I'm glad you like my theory, but it turns out, I was wrong.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

How were you able to find that out for sure?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Ikayaki.

That is, Ikayaki the chicken. I had two eggs saved, one from today, and two extras. But, she lays only one egg a day. You see what I mean?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I can... But that doesn't exactly help my mood any.

... Why do you have a chicken?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

The same reason Takoyaki also exists. The cow, not the meal. I asked the scientists a couple of weeks ago.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Just saying "hmph" isn't good conversation, y'know.

Pfft!

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I wasn't trying to have a conversation with you.

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

Woah, being rude like that is also not good.

You used my name in your post, so you were definitely trying to have a conversation with me.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly overly friendly, in case you haven't noticed.

That's nonsense. No one else would know who the hell you were otherwise.

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

That's not true. I'm very popular.

You may not be overly friendly, but I think you're still a nice, friendly guy. Just "normal level" instead of "overly."

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

And you think I care?

Whatever gave you that impression?

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

I have a sixth sense for these matters. In my opinion, you're a nice guy.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Think whatever you like then.

[worldrestorer.livejournal.com]

You've lost your memories before?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Yes I have. But not here.

[worldrestorer.livejournal.com]

Did someone help you get them back? I had Gehena to tell me about the things I forgot, but I still don't remember everything.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

No... That's why I'd rather be home. But it's not crucial for me to have those memories back.

Just... that it is something that nags at me from time to time.

[worldrestorer.livejournal.com]

? But if you don't remember them, how do you know they're important?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Because everyone else in my world could remember who I was. The kind of reputation I had.

...I can't remember anything about the kind of person I was then.

[inner-sandman.livejournal.com]

Do you have any fond memories of Discedo?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Why would I have any fond memories of a dump like this?

[inner-sandman.livejournal.com]

Then maybe forgetting them isn't a negative aspect.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

It is if you did not have a choice either way.

I do not like being tampered with that way... It's like a bad joke.

[inner-sandman.livejournal.com]

I understand. You prefer not to be ignorant.

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

Will you be alright?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine.

I just need to let off some steam, and Goten's hunting party may need some help.

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

I wish you the best then.

Be careful.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Tachibana-san.

I will... Don't worry.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I make this offer, from time to time...some have benefited from it, before, but...

If you would ever simply want a companion to sit in silence with, I am able.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

...

If that is your way of pitying me, then I don't need it.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Hardly. I pity no person.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I'm not really a person either.

... Fine. I'll let you know when I have returned to the school.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Would you feel more comfortable being referred to as a monster? For a time, I was not so different in that sense.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I don't know... In my own world, I have been feared as a monster by the youkai who could sense what I really am. Never feeling sure of whether I deserved it.

Those memories were lost when I was sealed away.

I don't know why you tell me these things... You shouldn't be so concerned about helping me follow a right path.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

When are you going to stop assuming that I'm trying to help you do anything at all? I simply speak my mind.

......

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Che. Is being around Kantarou starting to have that much of an effect on me?

Fine. For what it's worth, I think that I'll be grateful for the quiet.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Very well, Herr Haruka...
