…. Hmm. I see. So, this is where fate has lead me. Something like this is enough to help prevent boredom for lifetimes to come. I can only imagine the looks on those goat’s faces when they can’t find me now. … There are times when Child of Men do not differ so greatly from what many have come to know as witches. [ there’s a giggle on her end. ] The moment they find something interesting, they eat at it as if they’ll starve unless they are fed what will prevent them from boredom. It’s what I’ve written for them that seems to provide that mindless entertainment.
[ Her tone falls. ] I will admit that this isn’t an ideal vacation. …. With that said... Children of Man... Tell me about this place. What stories can be told of this world?
Oh, but if you don’t want to talk about that, I’m not always so picky about conversation topics. … Yes. If not about this place, then tell me of your own stories.

Guess I'll have something to look forward to then if I ever get out of this place.
[ although that's mostly just a joke too - if she had a choice, she would rather remain here. ]

... ... Hah. Stubborn captives are fond of you. Though, this time, it seems that I'll be joining you in a game, my Miko...

[ drenched in its usual sarcasm, of course, although there's something slightly more surprising at that last part. ]
Wait, does that whole Miko business still apply here?

I don't believe I ever told you that you were no longer under my care. The Sixth Game may have concluded, but Rokkenjima's tale has not.
Not for you, Ange Ushiromiya.

You didn't say so, but I figured all you told me to do was just read you that story, right? We finished it back home and then I've already been stuck here for this long, so I thought it was way past already.

You know how a witch's nature works by now, don't you? The more you do for them, the greater the chance you can receive something in return, as cruel as they may be. In a sense, I'm not too different then that.

So you're saying I just have to be good and do a few chores for you so I can earn stamps on my card, and when it's full I can trade it in at the witches' merchandise shop, huh? Sure, it sounds like a completely appropriate activity for someone my age.

As long as I don't have to get your groceries for you or something.

Great, I'll make sure to treasure that promise. Hang it up on the wall in a nice frame.
