31 Clinic (2/2)

Wow! It's like you are some kind of celebrity with no time to spend on relationships. Too bad, you are just a foolish little woman who had to beg me for being summoned.

”If it's not the case,” I continue without retorting to that, ”then ignore them.”

Hearing that, Adonia looks back at the two, then looks at me, then looks back at the two, then at me. What? Are you trying to decide which one of us you should marry or something? Well, I had actually intention to actually ask that but she says before I could,

”I think we should help out.”

She says in a slightly awkward manner, regaining a bit of a smile on her face. Good, good! You look better with a smile.

”So, anyway,” I ask dejectedly, ”if you wanna help out, at least tell me what they just spouted?”

I knew this was going to happen so I am not that disappointed, but being dejected is a different.

”What just happened?” I ask while looking at Adonia, who answers with a frown,

”From what I know, that little guy is the older brother of the big guy.”

Why? Is this Fullmetal Alchemist?

”The little brother said, ”Leave me alone!” and the older one retorted with, ”No, fool!” Well, that's what I can understand so far.”

I see. A siblings squabble, huh? Interesting! I wonder what happened. Are they fighting over the same woman or something like that? I mean, that's like the plotline of half of Indian romance movies, so maybe it actually used to happen a lot in these days.

And by the way, the plotline of the other half is Romeo-Juliet rip-offs, i.e., family being against the 'love'. Seriously, come up with a new plotline for your romance movies, India.

Anyway,

”How are you going to help them?” I ask her and she replies immediately,

”First let's go and listen to what has been troubling them.”

As I hear that, I close my eyes, sigh, then open them and put a hand on Adonia's shoulder as I say,

”The fan reception for you isn't as strong as me anyway, don't go saying things that generic anime waifus do.” I say quite humbly, ”Or the best market they'll have for you is meme-market.”

Though if you are a character of Irium, you can't really escape the meme-market but still, there's a difference being used for memes because you are too badass (like Escanor) and being used for memes because you are a jackass (like Estarossa).

”SCREW IT ALL!” and then a stupid voice of a stupid person comes from somewhere and brings me out of the meme-meditation I had secretly gone in. As I hear it, without anger, without contempt, like a saint, I say in a simple voice,

”Well, that's Danny!”
