[trustheart]

From: Ishtar
When: March 5th [frontdated]

... So I went to sleep last night, and found myself home. Went through a whole couple months, a bunch of shit happened, and then I wake up here again after it's all over. Kinda feeling jerked around a bit, but what's happened has happened.

Anyway, I've been hearing prayers from people whose relationships are in trouble lately, and if this place is going to insist I be a love goddess, then I guess I'd better do something about it. Problem is, the soulless shinki this place assigned me and I haven't been getting on at all, and considering it's been a few months since I saw him from my perspective, I don't think it'd be a good idea to try and force it.

This isn't easy to admit, but if I'm gonna do this, I need help. Would anyone be willing to help me stake out the Tokyo Museum for a few nights? There's definitely ayakashi involved, so I definitely know I shouldn't go it alone.

I guess that's understandable..

[ Who likes seeing their friends getting hurt, after all? But.. ]

It'd probably be pretty difficult to fight everything by yourself though, right? It's impossible for anyone to carry that big of a duty by themselves. That's why it's good to have friends by your side to share it with, both the good and the bad.

Sorry, sorry, that probably sounded suuuuper sappy coming from a stranger! But that's just what I think.

[trustheart]

I have friends. I'm past the point of fighting alone. They're the reason I'm the person I am today. And... it's fine. It's actually kind of comforting. You remind me a lot of someone I know.

[reloves]

I hope you can see your friends again soon then, if they're not here!

[ Since Chris is a god, so she should be able to return home sooner or later. Not like the shinki half of the population here which Minako belongs to. ]

Aaaand you know. If you ever feel like talking to someone here in the meantime, you can always shoot me a message! I love talking!

[trustheart]

... You try to make friends just as quickly as she does. Man, it's like a bad case of deja vu! But I suppose if I'm gonna do that I'd need to know your name, first... [Don't worry too much about her reaction, Minako, Chris is just being a typical tsundere.]

[reloves]

[ Don't worry. If Minako has one speciality other than being an overdramatic idiot it's knowing how to completely friendship waltz all over tsunderes. She's got some experience under her belt. ]

It's Minako! Minako Aino, nice to meet you. I'm the one who organized those dates for Valentine's Day together with Chikusa, so maybe you recognize my name! [ Yes, she truly thinks that elevated her to stardom, despite that just.. not being true.. ]

[trustheart]

... I'm afraid that all happened before I got here. Don't be thinking you can pull something like putting me on those lists, by the way. I don't like to be set up!

[reloves]

Don't worry, don't worry! I'm super respectful of people's wishes!

[ At least that's not a lie. .. Most of the time. But she genuinely wouldn't want to do something that'd make someone else feel really bad. If Chris ever showed signs of interest in someone, however... ]

But if you ever do want a date and are sad you missed out before.. just let me know, alright?

[trustheart]

... Okay. I'll take our word for it.

But dating guys is the absolute last thing I'm interested in.

[There's an opening for you there, Minako, if you choose to take it.]

[reloves]

[ Honestly, would anyone at all expect Minako to not read straight between those lines? ]

There's plenty of cute girls in this place too, you know.

[trustheart]

...

NO MATCHMAKING!

[reloves]

Yes, yes, no matchmaking!

[ But that reply does give Minako all the confirmation she needs as to Chris' leaning. ]

But you can't blame a girl for being curious what your ideal type is, right~~?

[trustheart]

And you'll never find out!

[Until the object of her affections inevitably arrives into the game and Chris will have the worst time hiding it, anyway.]

[reloves]

[ Oh, don't you worry. The moment Minako catches even a hint of that, she will be all over it. ]

Those are some dangerous words to say to an expert like me.. <(￣︶￣)> That information won't stay hidden forever!

[trustheart]

Pfft. I'd like to see you try. I'm not exactly transparent.

[reloves]

We'll see! I'm bound to learn a lot of things about you if we're going to become good friends, right?

[ Which apparently Minako has decided is just an inevitable thing that's going to happen. ]

[trustheart]

... You really are just like my friend back home. I pray the two of you never meet.
