[... Huh. Somewhat familiar, is it? Somehow, he almost feels like he's been told that before, but when he reaches for the memory, he can't grasp it at all.

...Strange.

Regardless:]

I don't really know why, but I'm kind of glad to hear that anyway. I'd like to keep getting to know you better, at least, if I can.

I would like that, too. I feel like we could have interesting conversations.

Besides, it's not just about anyone who has the guts to call me selfish to my face, haha.

[ Rank 1 unlocked?? ]

[A brand new Justice Social Link, oh boy...!!

I am thou, thou art I, etc etc.

... And he doesn't really regret saying that to Akechi, though maybe it was a bit blunt. Oh well. (It's because he doesn't have a guts stat at all.)]

I was just worried, that's all. Sorry if it was kind of rude, though.

Oh, I don't mind it. If anything, I appreciate it. People my own age don't usually approach me like this, so it's not often I get the chance to have an actual discussion with a peer. This feels more natural, somehow.

[ Even if he still doesn't get why this guy would be worried about him, to begin with. Protags confuse him, man. ]

[Protags always gotta protag, Akechi. Better get used to it.

Anyway it's good Akechi isn't offended because he's going to keep being this way anyway.]

They don't? Why not? You seem pretty approachable to me.

[ How very troublesome! But that's okay, that's how we do ranking up in this household. ]

Because of my job. I have made a few TV appearances to discuss my latest cases, and for some reason that seems to have earned me some popularity. As a result, I have become something of a local celebrity... I suppose most people find that intimidating.

[Oh... huh. That's... interesting. He hadn't realized, but--]

It's impressive that you've been able to do something like that, but... it sounds kind of lonely that people don't want to approach you because of that.

[Hmmmm... what can he do about it? Nothing but--]

I'll keep being that way with you, then. Sorry if it ends up being troublesome, but that's what I've decided on.

[Surely, dealing with a nagging pest is better than dealing with loneliness.]

[ Lonely, huh? Well, he can't deny that. All that attention, the praise, even the love from his fans, it's all a lie. They would never love him, if they knew the truth about him.

But this guy seems to have picked up on it so quickly, and over text, too? What is up with him...? ]

Keep being that way? You mean... standing up to me?

[Nothing. He is but a normal highschooler.]

And pestering you about your health and well-being, and checking up on you...

Treating you like a normal person, in other words.

[ Yes, of course. Just like Akechi, two perfectly normal highschoolers. ]

That... sounds a little bit like a mother hen, actually.

[ But, hm. Treating him like a normal person, huh? The only place where he can usually feel like this is Leblanc, and he obviously doesn't currently have access to that, so... ]

But I would like that. I suppose it would be quite the next experience for me.

[Exactly.]

I've heard from a very trustworthy source that I tend to come across as the Mom Friend, yeah.

[Thanks Dave.]

In that case, then... when you're not busy, would you mind doing something with me?

[ That actually earns the tiniest laugh from Akechi, not that Minato can hear it. A Mom Friend, huh...? ]

Doing something? Do you have something specific in mind?

I do, actually. How do you feel about helping me out with a little project? Sorry we can't go to the arcade or anything here, but we can try to make do.

[Maybe they can still like. Have a normal hang out session.]

[ Akechi's only hang out session was being taken to church to confess his sins, so... anything would be fine....... ]

I'm not much of an arcade person, so that's not a problem with me. If there's anything I can do for your project, though, I would be glad to assist you. Would you mind telling me some more?

Of course not. I've been trying to collect clothing to use for fixing other clothing or making more wearable things for people. So I was thinking maybe we could go searching for more, or sort through what can be mended and what should just be...scrapped...

[TOO HIDEOUS FOR USE.

It sounds kind of entertaining to him, honestly, but he's easily pleased.]

[ A... home economics project, then.......? ]

That sounds simple enough. I know how to do basic sewing, so perhaps I could assist you with that, as well, at a later point. Either way, consider me in.

Sounds good to me. Maybe in a day or two then, when things have settled down. I'll keep you posted. The sewing help would be good too, so thanks.

My pleasure. I will be looking forward to it, then, Arisato-kun.
