[ HELP the fujoshi and fudanshi are powering the markets ]

Exactly! They already have a hard time as it is during VR tournaments.

[ Their little e-sports festivals... ]

[insinning]

It's weird when they use slowmotion on us, like...were we really that sluggish?

[ fujoshi and fudanshi rights!! they will give their money now give them their kiss]

[dissimulative]

I mean, they have to use slow motion since we're too fast, right? So we're obviously gonna look sluggish in slow motion!

[ The movie is starting to pick up their romance plot from the ground again... ]

[insinning]

That's true, but still, it's different seeing it.

[ Why is that man stripping down why is there a artfully done lakeside swim happening here...did those kinds of lakes even exist anymore without pollutants???]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria looks over at Sinclair and snickers. ]

Emil, you're staring.

[insinning]

I am Not!

[ Oria gets smacked with a cushion for that. He is not staring ok.

but the dark haired actor does have a nice body help. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria laughs. How could he not tease Sinclair when he's such an easy target? ]

You sure? I thought I saw your jaw drop too~

[insinning]

Did not. I was just surprised they had that kind of scene, okay? You were looking too.

[ aaaaaahh his non existent dignity]

[dissimulative]

I'm not sure what else you expected with a rating of 15 and up. It's okay to say you have a type.

[ rip Sinclair ]

[insinning]

[ Help. He'll just sink deeper into his beanbag chair and hide his red face. It means he misses the heavy makeout scene at least without drawing more attention to himself]

You're just making assumptions.

[hmph. hmph!! ]

[dissimulative]

Emil, look! They're making out while half naked!

[ He will point it out for him. You're welcome. ]

[insinning]

[Have an elbow to the ribs, Oria]

Stop teasing me, why would they when this is supposed to be an action fantasy--

[aaaah covering his face again help]

[dissimulative]

Told ya.

[ Despite the elbow to the ribs, Oria wheezes out a laugh. ]

There's romance no matter the genre. For a 15 rating, it's not so bad.

[insinning]

[ He's still so embarrassed. Maybe it's because Oria has been teasing him. Or it's weird to see this with a friend. Grumble grumble]

What happened to the story?

[But when he lifts up his head, it's finally done. Phew.]

[dissimulative]

Sidelined just a bit, but we're getting back to it now.

[ He pats Sinclair. There, there. ]

I see why it's such a hit now despite everything else.

[insinning]

So you're interested in that too?

[hiss...as much as Sinclair can hiss. He just deflates and continues watching while pouting ]

[dissimulative]

Interested in what?

[ He eats another peep. Down the hatch you go. ]

[insinning]

The makeout scenes.

[ is Sinclair just weird for being the only one to get flustered by them...]

[dissimulative]

[ Sinclair is the normal one here, fortunately. Oria hums, thinking about it while still watching the movie. ]

Hm, no. Not really. It's actually a pretty big turn off. I like that stuff to be private in real life and not used as a time filler in media. They really could have done something else with the time they used to have a makeout scene.

[insinning]

Oh. [ Sinclair relaxes a tiny bit. Good. What is good. He doesn't know why that is good but...]

That's true...now I'm confused by where the story is meant to be.

[dissimulative]

Oh, it's—

[ Oria succinctly explains the plot so far to Sinclair in an easily digestible manner and eats another peep. ]

They're gonna take on the big bad now. Looks like the knight got a sword power upgrade too. Power of love or whatever.

[insinning]

[ How did Oria keep track of this ??]

I...see. So the other guy has to wear the one necklace even though it's corrupting?

[incredible ]

[dissimulative]

[ He makes use of his P3 levels for the most mundane shit ever... ]

Yeah, and they're hoping to beat the villain in time before they go full corruption mode.

[insinning]

Oh. Hm. It doesn't look good.

[ ganba little villager who Tried]

[dissimulative]

[ Goodbye little villager... ]

I'm pretty sure they'll have something like a last resort...

[ Right?? ]
