[Welcome back to the White Space! Did you enjoy your time in the previous world?] Kou asks as he spins around and poses in front of the mirror, causing me to sigh. I pull out a chair in the corner before sitting down and replying.

"It was... okay." I stop to get a milkshake out of the mini-fridge next to me. "And besides," I insert a straw, "you should know exactly how it went." He continues to pose in the mirror.

[But I'm so hot! Kira, look at me!] His narcissistic voice rings out in the small room. I smirk, knowing what to say.

"Shut up, stupid hedgehog." I then begin to victoriously drink my milkshake, seeing him stop posing.

[Aww, Angel, don't be that way.] He coos, making me regret ever saying anything. [Actually, why don't you play a song for me? You were such a great pianist. My Angel~] I kick him, then I try to kick him two more times before he ducks away.

[You know that's system abuse, right?] He sulks on the bed. [To kick one as handsome as me! Ah!] Used to his personality, I put on a poker face and come up with a list of things against him.

"Well, if you want to talk abuse, then," He immediately hovers next to me, handing me another milkshake. "Transaction accepted." Inwardly smiling, I begin finishing off the first one. "So, any idea what the next world is going to be about?"

[Hmm,] he scrolls through digital papers and data, [It's going to be crazy. Literally, the exact quote from the request the world gave is "Need help to ------- this hectic, crazy plot. Please send help immediately."] I hum in response, wondering how crazy the plot must've derailed for the world to actually state it in the request. After all, typically the requests are strictly professional and lack many details, so one doesn't know how messed up or what the world is about until actually in it. For security reasons, naturally. (Random spinning globe~) (Globe: QUIT SPINNING ME HUMAN!) (UWAAA IM SOWWY >M<)

"So," I drink the other milkshake while talking, "does it state any useful information? Or regulations?"

[It includes a personality regulator for free, and in the details section it's asking to...] He stops talking as he continues to look at the information. I gratefully accept this as it allows me to fully indulge in the milkshake. The soft creamy texture of the-

[KIRA!!!] I choke on a strawberry due to his outburst. I angrily look at him, but he ignores it. [It's kind of cryptic, but this is at least a level B mission. And the role you play is... basically a... crazed obsessed mini-villain that was supposed to save the world.]

"Okay? And?"

[I don't think you should take this one. I can find a... safer one for you. So I'll just reject this one and-] He stops and looks at me after I hit him with the empty milkshake cup. I huff out, finally getting his attention.

"Would you mind telling me why? At the very least, do your job and talk to me about these things." He sighs defeatedly.

[But you would just accept it!] He clicks the reject button and the interface pops up, asking me if I'd like to reject. I read Kou's cause for the rejection and almost laugh in response.

"Too vague? Seriously?" I click deny, and his bipolarness kicks in. After listening to him ranting about how it's "not safe," and how he has a bad feeling, and how I never listen to him and etc. he finally calms down. Asking him if he's done yet, I ask him logical questions.

"If we deny this mission, what are the chances that some other system will accept it?"

[Well...]
