Some Legends Are Told, Some Turn To Dust Or To Gold [CEREALIA INBOX]

'Busy, leave a message!
...oh, you've reached Hiro Hamada. Whatever. Still busy!'

And what kind of healing are you suggesting? I had Yu--have you met him? Anyway he used one of his Personas on me but I don't know if it was totally effective because we were all pretty wiped out after being out there for so long. Unless you don't mean magic or whatever, in that case just ignore me and I'm going to stop talking now...

[He's nervous, don't mind him. Doctors, even if they're Otome, still make him a tiny bit nervous.]

I haven't, but... no, you're right, it's in the magical sense. For the most part, it'd just speed up the natural healing process.

...does it hurt? [It's a childish question, but still one worth asking.]

Of course not! It's very painless.

...[Sigh.] All right. Just tell me what you need me to do.

You stand there and breathe normally.

[ That's it. ]

In that case, hit me with it. I'd like to be able to be up and sort of walking and stuff again, at least. I'm ready when you are.

[ It's a very simple process-- she just pulls out her cellphone, hits a few buttons, extends a hand towards Hiro and--

Don't mind the fact that you're glowing gold, buddy, any lingering pain should be gone. ]

[Somehow he's glowed a lot more in Cerealia than anywhere else in his entire life. Otome says this is safe, but it doesn't stop him from clenching his eyes shut until it's over, and...]

...whoa. [He reaches up to pat at the space under his ribs and he rolls his ankle cautiously to test it out.] That...actually worked. Part of the demon app thing or something else?

Yes-- well. When you defeat a demon, you gain a chance to learn one of its skills for yourself. So the reason I can use spells is because of that.

That's actually pretty impressive, Otome. Thanks...it definitely feels a lot better. [He scrunches his face in thought.] There's no way to teach somebody those skills without involving one of the demons, huh?

Unfortunately not. You need to have defeated that demon, and you need the demon summoning app.

Which I was already told was impossible. Kinda had a conversation about it with its creator...[He scratches the back of his neck.] But at least we've got one person who can utilize it.

I'll think of a way to repay you somehow.

You've got two, actually.

But repaying me isn't necessary. I'm just glad it wasn't worse. [ SHE'S WORRIED ENOUGH... ]

Maybe it's not necessary but neither was a house call. [Just pointing that out here. He's grateful, nonetheless.] Can you tell me who the second one is? Or is it just sort of off-limits?

That would be Hi-- ah, Hiro Kageyama. Maybe all Hiros were just destined to lead exciting lives.

[ Where is the lie-- ]

Wait, the other Hiro is a demon summoner too? [WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SAY ANYTHING....]I've only talked to him a couple of times but I never would have guessed.

Would you have believed I was one? Outside of our involvement, we're fairly normal people.

When you put it that way, I can see your point. It's the "fairly" part I kinda worry about.

[But he definitely has a lot of questions for Hiro-plus now.] Thanks a ton, Otome...for everything.
