219 Vol. 4 pt. 22 Patch 4.0: Ferrets and Dogs (1/2)

Fenrir, with axe in hand, surfaces from the river and walks up onto the riverbank.

”She's too funny,” Fenrir says to himself, though somebody else decides to chime in.

”Tabs is totally best girl,” Saya tells him.

”Since when do you talk like a weeb?” he asks her, not bothering to stick to his thoughts since nobody else is around.

”I can do what I want.”

”You're not wrong, but I didn't think you'd be a weeb.”

”I'm not a weeb, baka onii-chan.”

”Yeah, you're right. You're definitely not a weeb. Only normal people use Japanese words in an English conversation.”

”I only do it because you're a degenerate weeaboo who gets turned on by this sort of weird stuff.”

”You may have a point, but I also know that you're basically made partially out of my thoughts and personality and all that, so that means I know that you're actually into it yourself, you degenerate weeaboo.”

”I hate you, onii-chan.”

”Love you too.”

”L-love?! Wh-wh-what a-are you – wh-what are you – lo-ove?!”

”You know what I meant, you tsundere.”

”Let me play around, baka. This is when you're supposed to push me up against a wall and place a hand next to my head on the wall to keep me from escaping!”

”I didn't know that this is a shoujo.”

”Anything can be a shoujo if you try hard enough, just like how anything can be yaoi!”

”Olly and Cor already make this enough of a yaoi.”

”And now let me make it a shoujo!”

”Alright, alright. Just let me push your nonexistent body up against the wall to pin you to it.”

”You could just imagine it, you baka hentai onii-chan.”

Fenrir, standing perfectly still and just looking ahead to the forest, imagines pushing Saya up against the wall and putting his hands around her on it.

”O-onii-chan! Wh-what are you doing? This – umm – this – we-we're siblings! This kind of thing isn't – isn't…”

Fenrir continues standing still and looking straight ahead as his little sister of a virtual companion roleplays inside of his head.

”Wh-what are we going to do on the bed, onii-chan?”

”You forgot to go pomf.”

There's silence for a few seconds before they both start laughing.

”At least we have the same sense of humor,” Fenrir says.

”Like you said, I'm basically part of you, so yeah, I'm going to have the same humor,” Saya replies.

”If you ever do get a body, I'll push you up against the wall for real, alright? Then we'll see how you react when it really happens.”

”Maybe someday, onii-chan!”

”You never know. Maybe they'll decide to be like 'hey here's a new expansion where you can play with your virtual assistant' or something like that.”

”I doubt that, but we'll see!”

”Oh, wait, I could just do it to you next time I'm immersing or waking. You've got a body then.”

”Y-you could, but you don't need to!”

”You totally want me to, don't you?”

”I – I never said that, you perv-hentai baka onii-chan.”

”Alright. Next time I go to wake, make the space look like a – actually, we can just do that right now.”

”Wh-what do you mean?”

”Return me to the lobby.”

”Are – are you sure?”

Fenrir nods and then his in-game avatar falls to the ground. Now, Fenrir finds himself in the game's ”lobby” where it's just a black space, himself, and Saya.

”You can make it look like anything, right?” Fenrir asks her.

Saya nervously nods.

”Make it look like a high school's hallway.”

The space around them turns into exactly what he requested, albeit with no students nor teachers roaming it.

”O-onii-chan?” Saya asks him. ”Why – why are you looking at me like that?”

With a devilish grin, Fenrir walks up to his ”little sister” until she's forced to walk backward if she doesn't want him to walk into her.

She walks backward until she hits the wall.

Fenrir continues his approach as Saya looks up at him with red cheeks and quivering, nervous eyes.
