[Nodding.]

I don't want you to get in trouble. But I mean, what about me? Why would it be against the rules to tell someone I'm on your team?

You can tell people, but it's... recommended that you don't tell that many. If you start telling too many people then we might see problems start to pop up.

Problems?

It's still a rule. So breaking it too much will probably form negative effects.

[Nodding.]

Okay. I'll be careful. But I don't want to have to pretend we aren't friends. Because we are, right?

[ they smile. ]

You don't have to pretend that we're not. At this point, everyone will get to meet with all the Leaders, so you don't have to act like you haven't spoken with me.

Ah, okay.

Also, what should I bring you when we meet? I don't know what you like.

You don't have to bring anything for me!

But if you do, I'd prefer if it's something we can both share together.

. . . Do you like takoyaki?

[ they are thinking...

and then they nod. ]

I think so.

I don't know how to make it.

[So this is useless.]

But it's good to share.

I wonder if I can learn...

[ the point was for it to be something for him to bring.]

Do you like cooking?

[They've already lost the plot it's fine.]

Mmhm! I'm not super good at it, but it's been a fun way to pass the time here.

[ especially before the entire group showed up. ]

I don't really know anything about it, but some people have been trying to show me.

. . . I guess there's probably no one making meals for you guys, huh? Unless you make them yourself.

... well, the others are worse cooks than I am, I think.

But we've been managing.

A lot of us can cook things. Do you guys want to come have dinner with us?

Oh... well, we'd have to be invited over, if we're at the castle...

Invited?

We're not supposed to just walk over here unless you specifically call for us to.

Oh. But what about when the planetarium is closed and we can't ask?

Then we'll have to stay in the castle.

But um, we only really ever close it when we're way too busy. So hopefully that won't happen again.

So we can contact you but you can't contact us?

I guess it's that... not very professional of us if we just show up unannounced.

[Thinking about that for a second.]

Yes, I understand. But we need to be good team members, too. It's inconsiderate to call someone into work on short notice all the time.
