[ Amazing. ]

How do you know I am unmarried?

[ He technically is, but still. ]

[mikooon]

[Why do our characters always get up to this.

But! That stumps Tamamo for a moment, before...]

...For some reason, I can't really envision you being married.

[WOW. SAVAGE.]

I don't mean that in offense, of course! ...But I do feel like I've met you before. You don't feel like bachelor material, at all! Even those who are married have to have a bit remaining, right?

[accordance]

[ Clearly, it's destiny. ]

That's not very solid.

[ He is the god of truth, so 'feel' isn't really something he accepts. ]

You should not judge people by their appearance.

[mikooon]

Ohh, won't you just tell me if you're married or not?!

[She all but tosses the packet at him now. EAT IT, LORD LIGHT. COME ON.

It's aimed at this face, btw.]

[accordance]

[ He dodges fluidly and it falls to the floor with a jingle. Though he's still kind of looking at it, so if someone tries to steal it he'll pick it up first. Lost property must be returned. ]

The social ties of humans do not apply to me.

[ Basically, no. Now take your thing back. ]

[mikooon]

Y-you...!

[FINE. SHE PICKS UP HER MONEY. It is her hard-earned 辛苦钱，after all.] Some people just aren't grateful!

[She turns away with a huff. Nice going, Lord L(oser)ight.......]

[accordance]

You did say you did not do this for charity. Then do you consider this tradition more important than your hard-earned money?

[ He shifts very slightly to a more squared posture. It's a question that's just come to him.


Also he just saved you some money, you be grateful. ]

[mikooon]

Of course!

[Tamamo continues looking away, turning her nose up.] ...It does feel stupid, sometimes. But if I choose to follow them, even here, it's not like anyone can stop me.

All they can do... is not celebrate it too. [AKA what LL is doing.]

[accordance]

I did not say I was going to stop you. These are your priorities. Even if it feels stupid to you, you will follow them. I merely hope you do not regret this decision.

[ It's just as weird as the time you decided to give everyone cake and got mobbed by it. But maybe that was just a dream. ]

[mikooon]

...I won't... of course not...

[She already does.

But yes, he really does seem familiar. As if she knows his name. She can't say it. though, even if it's on the tip of her tongue. La-la-la--?]

Caster. [She suddenly says that out loud.] Does that sound familiar?

[accordance]

[ Don't lie to yourself. It's not a good habit. ]

It does. We meet again.

[ He inclines his head, recalling the one time they had met before. As with Lapis, it was a little surreal. ]

I am Lord Light.

[mikooon]

[Lying to herself is a life occupation by now. 8') ]

Hm, yes. I do remember you! What an interesting name... [She feels like she's said that before. But while she does remember him, she doesn't... remember him. Maybe it's to do with their mana being transferred and screwed up. It could be.]

...Did we agree to something? Under more amicable terms.

[Because... she's still a little pissed, yah.]

[accordance]

[ He's probably going to point it out to her until she changes. ]

I remember we did. The details, however, not so much.

[ After all, he seems to recall promise something he can't deliver anymore. It seems she's changed a little, too. ]

[mikooon]

Hmm... perhaps we met in a past life, and our mana re-arrangement has brought up the embroiled memories of an alternate universe!

[what.

Sometimes, Tamamo spouts bizarrely meta bullshit, but immediately dismisses her theory.] Or, perhaps the mana transfer just ended up mixing our memories around. I've worked with magic before, and summoning people from across worlds is quite difficult. Many things are... shafted.

[WHAT KIND OF WORD CHOICE IS 'SHAFTED']

[accordance]

[ Saying this only makes him all the more curious. However, he's prepared for her to not answer his question. These things could be sensitive. ]

Could you explain?

[mikooon]

[Since it didn't really happen to her, she's fine with explaining.] Oh, you know. Jumbling bodies, mixing the perceptions of people from the past with legends from the future and distorting their personality, erasing or imposing memories...

Many things could go wrong. So, this mass-summon was a great success!

[W-Well, when you put it that way...]

But things may have been mixed up. [She finally keeps her red packets, because this is something interesting she might actually want to discuss.] And... hm, have you ever had a festival or holiday back home that reminds you of the First Bloom?

[accordance]

[ He doesn't comment on it for now, filing it away for later investigation. Answering her question takes less effort on his part. ]

There is. But it was not of my culture. It was named the Spring Festival.

[ The Spring Festival of the Jade Kingdom. ]

[mikooon]

Ohhh! I suppose they all share the same meaning, in the end. [Welcoming the spring, the end of winter, the start of something new... are some things really that universal? Tamamo supposes that must be true. No matter who you are, the advent of spring and the bygones of winters are always something to celebrate.]

So, your world has seasons too? I wonder how similar all these 'worlds' really are. Are we in the same universe, just pulled into a different planet? Or a different timeline altogether? [Being a Heroic Spirit especially in the crazy nausverse retcons timelines gives her some basic knowledge about those theories. Barely anything concrete to try studies or research on, though.]

[accordance]

[ It's surprisingly deep. But then again, he isn't one to judge. ]

These worlds are all populated by humans of some form. I would not be surprised if they all came from the humans' motherland.

[ It is a semi-known truth on Orbis Eden that humanity never arose there. They were brought to the disc from somewhere else. ]
