A dungeon. Kumagawa was in a dungeon, in another world.

Zenkichi feels he was gonna have a headeache just from thinking of the possibilities. He wouldn't put it past the minus to suddenly get the idea of aquiring some unconventional pets.

Also, the gods. Gods were always portrayed as having some level of arrogance because of their power over mortals, so there's no doubt Kumagawa was gonna bully them a lot.

Bill:One step...Safe!

Zenkichi groaned. He stopped his attempts of kicking Bill at Medaka's request, but he was considering restarting it.

Bill:Okay! Bet you guys had enough of the medieval mumbo jumbo, right? Okay, let's spin it back to present time!

Humans are capable of a large range of emotions and we have come with definitions for each of them, but...What is love?

Certainly, from a cold point of analysis love is the feeling of deep affection towards a certain someone. Be it familiar, platonic or romantic. However, love wasn't quiet so simple.

After all, love differs from person to person. It can be affection. It can be loyalty. It can be obsession. It can be belonging. But love can also be...A lie.

Kouki:They're going quite a bit about love...

Najimi:Well, they have to make the theme obvious. That's what narrators are for.

Zenkichi:I remember when I was a kid, the idea of love was so simple.

Mogana:Hm? When did it change?

Zenkichi:About the time an non-human being older than the universe transfered at my school and forced me to face my crush, which resulted in me getting a lot of beatings.

Najimi:Zenkichi-kun...If you're looking for an apology, you must know you're barking at the wrong tree.

Zenkichi:...I don't know whenever you just use it as an expression, or you're calling me a dog again.

While that idea might be rejected by the common person, love can be made by lies. You can deceive others into loving you. However, for someone to consider that an absolute form of love that person should be selfish as well as twisted.

But there is no mistake that there are people like that. One being an popular idol, for example.

She was an woman with purple hair and violet eyes with two star marks on her pupils. Her name was Hoshino Ai.

Now, while she does great as idol Ai would be the first to admit she wasn't exactly a great thinker. She was ambitious, yes, but also quiet reckless.

Well, she wasn't an idiot either. She had a great memory, although she was bad with names.

Her idol career wasn't done because she had a great admiration towards idols or wanted to get rich quick. No, it was because she wanted to find an target, an objectifications, for her love.

Although she didn't really have such a deep relationship or even many friends, even her group collegues of B-Komachi were only work related...The director was her friend, right?

Mogana:Ah, that sounds tough...

Saki:It's just the industry, not a great place to make friends. The only ones I'm close to are my bandmates.

Mogana:I used to be like that as well...Well, I wasn't an idol, but you get the idea.

Saki:But you have a vocal talent...If you ever think of going into bussiness, give me a call.
