That Time I Started A Life In Another World

A Too Well-Informed Child

Cylob-kyun is actually training nyow, huh.

I thought as I was looking out the window, watching Wilhelm and Cylob train.

Crusch: "Surprised by his change after the trip?"

Felix: "You could say so. He wasn't even trying to actually train befyore, just acting like he was. But nyow he's actually taking it seriously."

Crusch: "I was also surprised by his change in demeanor when he arrived. His face and actions weren't all that different, but his eyes clearly underwent a change. Not that the change was only good."

True. His eyes now have hidden guilt in them.

Felix: "But to think that he would propose something as outrageous as using Yang enhancemyent while fighting at the same time. That's like doing two completely different things at the same time."

Crusch: "True. It is extemely difficult. But that doesn't mean impossible. If there were more people who were compatible with Yang magic, we might've already gotten somebody who could do something like that."

Still... the difficulty is comparable to juggling four balls and avoiding constantly appearing spikes underneath you feet at the same time.

Felix: "I wyonder what happened for him to change him like this."

Crusch: "The village he stayed in was attacked by mabeasts and Gluttony, that could be one of the reasons. But if you want to know more it's just better to ask him. He's just a kid after all..." She says with a melancholic tone.

Felix: "Don't be sad! He's forgiven you, hasn't he?" I hug Crusch.

Crusch: "I know... but whenever I remember the face I forced him to make... I can't feel proud of myself. And after that incident, even though I didn't try to mend my relationship with him and didn't do anything good for him, he still saved me from the Archbishops. *sigh* There's only one person besides him, that is stupid enough to not hate someone who did him wrong."

I release Crusch from my hug and put a finger on my lips.

Subaru-kyun, huh.

Felix: "They are pretty similar, huh."

Crusch: "The more I compare the both of them, the more similarities I notice. They both care about people close to them and will do anything to help them. They have an extreme aversion to death. They want and/or do impossible things. And they don't seem to hold themselves in high regard. The biggest difference is the fact that... Subaru is more mature, while Cylob acts more mature."

...

Felix: "...I wonder if I'll knyow more about their similarities if I ask Cylob-kyun."

Crusch: "You probably will. He doesn't hide anything, and I've never heard him say: "I'd rather not discuss it"."

Felix: "Then I'll try jyust that!"

Felix: "Hey Cylob-kyun!"

Cylob: "Hm? Wadup?"

Felix: "Is it jyust me or are your greetings getting shorter and shorter everytime?"

Cylob: "Yes they are. And that means that I'm getting more and more comfortable here."

Felix: "It's good that you're getting more comfortable... Can I ask you a question?"

Cylob: "Sure, go for it."

Felix: "Do you knyow why Subaru-kyun and you are so alike?"

I could see his eyebrows rising ever so slightly and then quickly falling back down.
