There's a DM from Miyabi. Wonder what it's about?

I've heard that watching videotapes is also a form of training

REPLY

Who told you that?

I want to know who said that...

I don't remember

Sorry

But those words linger in my thoughts

If it's alright, I'd like to come by your store and pick up a videotape

REPLY

I'm always in the store

I look forward to your visit

Okay, thanks

Story Description: After finishing "Black Tales" with Miyabi, you find Miyabi's whimsical thoughts chilling.

Hoshimi Miyabi: "Black Tales" ...I think Yanagi mentioned this videotape before.

Hoshimi Miyabi: What do you think of it?

It's interesting.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍It's pretty interesting. I like it a lot.It's pretty interesting. I like it a lot.Text for Wise / I guess it reflects our store's style? It's pretty interesting!I guess it reflects our store's style? It's pretty interesting!Text for Belle‍)

It's popular.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It's been very popular lately and is one of our store's top picks. Did you want to watch it, Miyabi?

Hoshimi Miyabi: Since you think so highly of it, could you please wrap it up for me?

Wrap it up...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): "Wrap it up"... Such a charming, old-fashioned way to say it.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Is that so? Many stores wrap purchased items in paper or silk, don't they?

We've only got bags...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm afraid we only have plain bags here...

Hoshimi Miyabi: No need to apologize, the bag is not at fault. Also, please help me pack up the equipment for playing this videotape.

Huh?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sorry, but we don't sell equipment... You don't have a player at home?

Hoshimi Miyabi: No, my father isn't fond of electronic devices. He rarely uses his phone, unless it's absolutely necessary.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I guess... I'll just have to watch it here.

You watch Black Tales with Miyabi.
She watches the entire thing with a frown on her face.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I see, a story about everyone turning into paper.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I wouldn't mind turning into paper...

Hoshimi Miyabi: But if the blade in my hand were to become paper, it would no longer be sharp and couldn't slice through the Hollows.

Paper can be sharp too...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Paper can be sharp too... You have no idea how many times I've given myself a papercut while reading a book.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Can you give me a demonstration?

...What?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You mean...?

Hoshimi Miyabi: It's never happened to me... So it's hard to imagine paper being sharp enough to cut my fingers.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Don't worry. In return, I'll slice the book that dared to cut your finger into a thousand pieces.

Under Miyabi's watchful gaze, you pick up a book and flip through the pages, but not once does it cut your fingers...

Hoshimi Miyabi: ...No cuts? I see.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Such thin, soft paper pages would require the perfect angle and pressure to cut through flesh.

Hoshimi Miyabi: It feels like the residents of the Paper Nation, in retaliation against oppression by human hands, dispatch their top warriors to deliver a decisive blow — pouring all the strength they've amassed over a lifetime — against human fingers...

Hoshimi Miyabi: In a way, we, in our attempt to slice through the Hollows of New Eridu, are engaging in a similar futility.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Are we... being watched from a higher dimension?

Miyabi murmurs to herself, seemingly lost in thought. It seems like a suitable plot for a sequel to "Black Tales"...

Hoshimi Miyabi: Watching videotapes is indeed an effective form of training.

Hoshimi Miyabi: I feel a greater sense of calm now. No, maybe I'm too calm... *yawn*...

Hoshimi Miyabi: You'll have to excuse me.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Your sofa seems to possess a mysterious power that makes one feel sleepy as soon as they sit down.

Hoshimi Miyabi: Has anyone else ever sat on your sofa? Did they have the same feeling?
