Weekend 0: Saturday

[9mon]

[It's not like he's always around the temple or anything, but... it seems worse now somehow?]

Umm... Hey, are you sure you wanna be out here?

[hasteful]

[it is worse!! and buzen is just looking back at him, expression softening]

I think I'll be alright - but if you're nervous, I can escort you somewhere else.

[9mon]

I'll be okay! I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday. [Where he was collapsed on the ground for a little while.]

Are you sure though? I dunno if ghosts are real here, but I heard about zombies. It's probably better not to be alone.

[hasteful]

Are you? That's good!

[he's relieved - whereas buzen has a new bruise on his face that he didn't have yesterday, but it's fine]

Hah, I'm not too worried about ghosts or zombies... But you're a civilian, aren't you?

[9mon]

Eh, did somebody hit you? Are you okay?

[And then he just nods.]

Yeah, I go to high school, so it's weird that I ended up here. But- but! If we're supposed to help this world I wanna.

Um... I just dunno how to do that yet?

[hasteful]

Ah, yeah, I got punched - but I'm alright.

[easily!]

.... ahaha, you're a good kid. I don't think you should push yourself too hard before we even get started though.

[9mon]

It's okay I had a really long rest last night. I'm basically at 100%!

Do you know when we're supposed to start?

[hasteful]

[he shakes his head at that]

I'm afraid I don't. They really left us without a lot of instruction here.

[9mon]

Are you used to stuff like this? Do you usually get instructions?

[hasteful]

[uhhhhh how does he explain this]

… sometimes! At least normally when I travel, I have a mission I’m meant to follow.

[9mon]

It'd be nice to get some kinda guidance here.

[hasteful]

[he laughs a bit at that]

You and I are in agreement there... I've never been very good at being patient either.

[9mon]

It's pretty hard to wait. I feel like I should be doing something.

[hasteful]

Lots of energy to burn, huh? I understand what that's like. Do you wanna go scouting with me?

[9mon]

Sure! Just tell me where to go.

Oh! My name's Kumon Hyodo. Nice to meet you.

[hasteful]

[nods!]

I'm Buzen. It's nice to meet you, Kumo-san.

How do you do with ghosts?

[9mon]

They're pretty cool if you can talk to them. Ah, not that I've ever talked to one in person before. There's all sorts of stories about them.

[hasteful]

[just

glancing toward the phantoms around the temple]

I think you might be in the middle of one of those stories, my friend. I'll keep you safe - but do you want to look around this temple with me?

[9mon]

[He nods, while taking Buzen's hand.]

Let's look around.

weekend 0, sunday

[hasteful]

Kumo-kun...!

[buzen is going to run up to him and then in confusion - ]

What is your 'con' and why is it only '7'....!!

[9mon]

On the profiles and stuff? Umm... I think that means "constitution"... So that means something like stamina...

[hasteful]

Eh...?

[blinking]

Does that mean it's easier for you to tire...?

[9mon]

... Yeah, something like that. But I'm working on it.

[hasteful]

[aw

buzen is just going to put a hand on his shoulder then]

Then you'll succeed!

I'm sorry - if I asked about something difficult.

[9mon]

Mm, it's alright.

I've got friends to help me through it.
