十八 [Voice ; Japanese/Text]

...How is everyone? The recent events were certainly upsetting, but now that things seem to have calmed down a bit..

[There's a long pause, and it sounds as if Japan is distracted by something for a while. It has to be a few minutes that pass before he remembers it's recording.]

These new communicators are quite fascinating.. From what I've seen, they come in assorted colors. Is this correct? ...

Oh, yes. If I may add something else. For clothing, what are the options here? I am aware there are stores, though I do not know exactly which types.. [He's avoided that area since the dress incident, okay.] Are there materials to sew? Or new clothing in sets? Ah, if you have any information, please share this with me.

[He then types this message in text, along with adding the following note:]

If you have not already noticed, Denmark-san is looking to start a project. An apartment building. I believe it would be in our best interests, so if you are interested in helping this cause, please contact me here, or be sure to notify him in the near future.

Isn't it a normal thing to ask?

Ah, is that so? Do you suppose it would be enough to make a kimono?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Yes, but when you ask it sounds like you're planning to make a mass-production of color assorted communicators.

Oh, I imagine so. But, Honda-san, why do you need a kimono?

[brbmodernizing]

That would be rather nice...

... The idea of new clothing is rather nice to begin with. [There's a few reasons..]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I think everyone just needs one. [...] I wonder if these versions shock, too.

...That's true. I wouldn't mind new clothes, but I wouldn't want to wear a kimono.

[brbmodernizing]

I would not be surprised if they were improved in that area.

Oh? Are they too traditional for you, Seguchi-kun? There is nothing wrong with a nice kimono.. To wear it with the hakama.. It is rather normal. I prefer it to the western suits.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Improved? Which do you mean? Improved in shocking or improved... not shocking the more quiet residents of Discedo?

Ah, a bit. The only time I've worn them was when attending weddings. The last time I wore one was... six years ago, for my own wedding. Suits are more my thing, which I suppose comes from being a businessman and traveling to London, New York, and Los Angeles so often.

I think I might like to see you in a kimono though.

[brbmodernizing]

... I suppose it could go either way.

I see, so you are that type. You have not seen me in my traditional wear? I suppose I have been in my uniform most of the time...

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

...I saw you in your sundress. Was that traditional wear?

[brbmodernizing]

. . . Please mention that to no one.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

But many people already saw it. Surely it was even seen in person.

[brbmodernizing]

In any case, a new change of clothes would be nice.. [This is audio, but he's staring at a ripped sleeve.]

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

There was someone in the city who tried to bring the clothing stores to life. Maybe you can do it instead~?

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, if only I was not preoccupied with school and the watch, that would be tempting.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I could always fill in for you on days you need a break.

[brbmodernizing]

Surely that would be asking too much..

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I only have work four days a week. I'm used to seven days a week plus overtime.

[brbmodernizing]

...Do you suppose I could handle three separate things, here?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I believe you could. You're talented.

[brbmodernizing]

You are too kind.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I'm merely supportive of my country.

[brbmodernizing]

I appreciate it. I will put some thought into the idea.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

Either way, I wish you luck~

[brbmodernizing]

Thank you, Seguchi-kun.

Are you well, after all that has happened?

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

I'm well. I wasn't the one who marched outside and got his leg bitten. [ That was Ryuichi. ]

And yourself?

[brbmodernizing]

W-who did?

I am well enough..
