How does it work for you? To be made of mana I mean, how did it come to happen? Lady Scheherazade spent years pouring her magoi into me before I could survive on my own Did someone make you like that, too?
You have a good eye Titus!!! That's why I like you 😄 Nah my current master just summoned me one day The process is kinda complicated... Usually you need something with a lot of magical power Like the Holy Grail Oh but It's not like they can summon just anyone though? There's a reason why my muscles are cool!
No that's not the only reason! Ah whatever The truth is... I'm a famous hero! 😤 A demon reincarnated into this world searching for glory and atonement... An ally of justice hiding from the shadows, meting out punishment to those against Heaven's will!
Yan Qing!!!! That is incredible!! You are even more amazing than I realized. And without a doubt, you are the first reincarnated demon I have ever met!! Please tell me about some of the justice you have meted out on evildoers
Well... it just occurred to me when I was thinking about reading it, that maybe, it might be really nice, and I would really like it, if you were to perhaps, possibly... for example... read it... to me?
Ah, you're so cute. What am I gonna do with you? Sure, sure! Anything you want. But I'm warning you now, it's pretty gory. And it's a hundred chapters long!
[ but somehow all this laughter and pronouncement of cuteness can't help giving titus the impression that maybe yan qing maybe does not take him 100% seriously as a dignified, mature genius
but he's too distracted by this amazing suggestion to dwell on that. also he assumes "scheherazade-style" refers to the fact that he always listened to her voice while drifting half-formed in absolute darkness... which is similar in many ways to being read to at night... and is also partially what he was thinking about when he made this request in the first place ]
Could we really?? I would love that! And of course, if your voice ever got tired or something... or you just wanted to take a break... I would be very happy to take turns. Or to read you something else. If you wished it.
[He absolutely does not take him seriously as a genius. Titus should remind him sometime. But right now... It's not too important.]
Right, right, Scheherazade is the name of your... Ah, anyway! That's very considerate of you. I guess I wouldn't mind a break once in a while. You can tell me all about your world and stuff.
Then I would really love to have the chance. ...Marga and I read together a lot. That is, I would read to her. And Lady Scheherazade... Thinking back on it, I don't know whether she ever read to me. I would not have been able to tell the difference. Still, the feeling I got was the same, I think...
Of course, you and I don't have that kind of relationship, but you are dear to me, as they are. That is probably why I thought that I wanted to read with you.
[There is a pause. He swallows the lump in his throat that makes it hard to speak.
You are dear to me.
He doesn't think he's ever heard those words in his lifetime. When he speaks, his words lose their singsong cadence, their flair for drama. What remains is a sentiment raw and pure.]
I'd love to read with you, Titus. Really...
[Because back then, too, when his parents passed before they could teach him how to read, his master would read him stories...
Well. He's afraid he'd break apart if he brought that up now.]

I am thoroughly enthused and honored to bequeath you this noble endeavor!

I know we can't start yet... since Atsushi still has the book.
But I would like to come over anyway.
If you don't mind.
Right now, I mean.
