Um, um, _{how do you say this?} ... What does it mean when you have a lot of magical potential? How do you use it?

And if someone were to hypothetically open up a secret establishment thing - hypothetically, okay! - where's a good place to set it up? _{[ yes as if it's not... obvious... ]}

Also, if you're a quiet and mature blonde who likes skydiving, you should talk to me right away! Or if your name's um... _{[ oh but if she reads the name out loud, it will be too! obvious!!! ]} ehehe, I think I'll look for this guy myself. That's all!

✿ action 1
_{[ Someone's practicing her swings at the ball park again. Without Yamamoto around, it's been pretty lonely. But that! Is okay! Because pitching machines exist. Taiwan's a little out of it, though. Which is strange. Have a baseball flying at you right... now. ]}

✿ action 2
_{[ At the library, she's putting those books on making clothes to good use. On her sketchbook, she is drawing costumes and coloring them in while quietly humming pop songs, and maybe anime themes, yes... You might recognize some of them. ]}

✿ action 3
_{[ Returning to her house at 1245 Williams Road from... shenanigans, Taiwan gets to work in the kitchen to test the waters, so to speak. If she wants to open up a restaurant, the food has to be quality. What's that smell? Someone got a little too excited with making tonight's dinner. Seriously, this meal is fit for five kings! ... Four kings now, she supposes, without Chizuko around. Taiwan sets the last of her dishes down and gives herself an applause. ]}

Yay, I did it! _{[ at like 5 pm ]}

Oh no, I guess it's too early... Well, at least I'm done! Hehehe. _{[ Not that early. Feel free to follow the smell of chicken, pork and egg drop soup wafting out of the window. ]}

[imoutos]

H.. here, you can borrow mine, Taiwan-san..

[ And she takes her own hat off (yes, she even wears it indoors every now and then) and gives it to Taiwan with a small smile. ]

[naicha]

Oh, no, I couldn't...

_{[ But hesitantly, Taiwan takes the hat. ]}

... Thank you. Um, then, you can borrow this, too!

_{[ She takes off the flower accessories Chizuko gave her last Christmas and gives them to Nadeko. ]}

[imoutos]

A.. ah..

[ She stares at them with big eyes as they lie there in her hands. She's a bit in awe, yes.. ]

Thank you, Taiwan-san.. For me to be allowed to borrow something that pretty and important, I'm really, really happy.

[naicha]

It's not the same as the ones I have back home, but it's still pretty special... I know you'll take good care of it. That's why I'm giving it to you!

[imoutos]

Of course I'd take good care of it.. I can't let anything precious that Taiwan-san gives me go to waste, n-no way!

[naicha]

Hehe, I'll take care of Nadeko's hat, too! Well, let's both do our best, okay?

[imoutos]

Yes! We'll both protect each other's stuff, to show how close we are to each other, right..?

[ She can't help but smile at that - she hasn't been close to many people other than her family, Koyomi and maybe Kanbaru, after all. ]

[naicha]

Yeah! _{[ Taiwan just loves the idea of a family... even if her own isn't doing as well as they'd all like it to. ]} Oh, I don't lend other people my toothbrush, though. That's unsanitary.

[imoutos]

Ehehe, don't worry, I wouldn't ask to borrow Taiwan-san's toothbrush.. I have my own, after all.

[ There's something awkward in her smile, but she does find it a little funny. ]

[naicha]

Right. So toothbrushes are off-limits.

But everything else, I'll look after for Nadeko! I'll look after Nadeko herself, too, of course.

[imoutos]

R-right! That's why I'll do my best too, to make sure Taiwan-san won't have too much work in looking after me.. That would be alright, right?

[naicha]

That would make the job easier, haha! But you shouldn't worry about that! Nadeko's so cute that no one would ever hurt her!

[imoutos]

T.. Thank you, Taiwan-san.. I don't think I'm cute enough to warrant anything like that, but I appreciate you saying that.

[naicha]

Ehhh, Koyomi said you were cute, though. _{[ taps a finger on her chin hmm ]}

[imoutos]

[ she's not blushing.

she's definitely not blushing.

she's-- well, her whole face is quickly getting red. ]

D.. did Koyomi onii-chan really tell you such a thing..?

[naicha]

Yeah, he said, "We must protect her moe!" or something like that.

[imoutos]

Ah.. Hearing that makes me.. very happy.

Even though he's gone now, I'd still like to protect Koyomi onii-chan's kindness in return as well.

[naicha]

How is Nadeko going to do that? He won't remember anything as a drone, you know.

[imoutos]

That's fine with me. Even if Koyomi onii-chan wouldn't remember it.. It's fine with me if he's just happy..

[naicha]

Well, if you're happy and he's happy, then I guess it's not a problem at all! Wah, that's so sweet of you.
