You feel Tatsuko shudder slightly in your arms as well, a massive rise of emotions slowly flowing out of her as you continue to hold her, both of you still wet and clothed in the shower as the very last bit of the dried blood on you is finally swallowed by the drain. You feel her body un-tense, her chin finally sliding down to your shoulder.

“I don’t want to be alone again…” she says softly into your ear.

>You…you can’t really say anything right now. Just give her a squeeze to let her know you heard.
>Promise that she won’t be.
>…Tell her you can't promise that.
>Other

We're getting strong so she never has to worry about being alone again.

>>31982439
>>Promise that she won’t be.

>>31982439
Promise Her.

>>31982439
>>Promise that she won’t be.
"I can't... way things are right now, I'm going to get hurt. Probably a lot. But you're not going to lose me. Ever."
Squeeze.
"One way, or another, I will always come back to you. No matter what."

...too sappy?

>>31982620

If we have the energy to squeeze her at this point.

It is not within our powers to promise otherwise and honesty is our best option

I think tatsuko is sentient, and just promising her to not let her be alone again is not enough.

So, my idea is this - tell her to just stay there for a moment, go and then beg kaname and akeno to join you, bring the interference cube kaname had and then show her that there are more sentients than just her and you.

>>31982439
>Promise that she won’t be.

Looks like you guys are promising she wont be alone again.

Writing.

>>31982439
>Promise that she won’t be.

>>31982662
We just survived a fight with death herself, and now she is on our side, I think we can promise it

>>31982777
I maintain that just promising this is a bandaid at most.

We are reckless when it comes to the harem because we don't feel any threat from them. Even if they kill us, they'll probably pull us back together again. I don't think we'll stop being reckless, even after this promise.

Further, Tatsuko is acting like we're the only other person who can understand her - i.e. she thinks we're the only two sentients. Her situation is similar, but also very different from akeno. We need to show her it's not just us.

Also, this entire sequence has rocketed confirming the sentience of our harem to the top of my priority list. Tomorrow we need to go talk to chris and karasuba. After that we probably need to have like a family dinner or something with just the harem, while under the effects of an interference cube. They need to get to know one another. I think part of their anger at us is that Karasuba is sort of an unknown to them. All they know is that she's crazy and teaching us.

>>31982777
haha no. We just had the shit beat out of us by a not even trying karabusa for shits and giggles.

>>31982862
You're assuming that Taksuko is acting like this because she is sentient and not because we're the first friend she has here. She's ridiculously attached to her cuddle-buddy because everybody else at the school is scared shitless of her, and we're not. She's stated this outright to us. We're the reason she has friends now, and she loves us for doing that.

>>31982943
She doesn't want to be alone again. That's a pretty specific plea she gave us, and to me heavily implies she is both sentient and hurting because she's living in a world where she can't be sure anyone really cares for her except for us.

Remember that she talked about how much she missed her family when we first met her.

>>31982992
Not telling. That can and has been the main motivation of anime characters before.

Maybe more along the lines. "I promise you one thing I will not leave you! I may get hurt. I may ever be hurt very badly. But I will never leave you!"

>>31982992
Or that she's lost someone before?
All of the NPC's will have back stories. It's dictated by the nature of the show. I also would be willing to bet that the back stories of NPC's can also be adjusted depending upon our actions and what would make the show "interesting".
As such, I feel that you're projecting too much on to this. There are multiple ways of interpreting what she's saying, but we currently don't have much to determine which interpretation is accurate.

You…you can’t help it. She’s just…

She’s fury incarnate in a fight, an unstoppable force of nature against everything you’ve seen. She’s apparently feared far and wide by most of the campus, sans you, most of the girls who live in the house in the past few weeks and probably the teachers.

And you can’t help but feel that most of all she’s simply incredibly lonely.

So you do, you promise her, even though you aren’t exactly positive you can keep it that way.

“You won’t,” you say, “I promise you that you won’t be alone again.”

As you say this you give her the best squeeze you can, which isn’t great but she seems to accept it well.

You…you want to tell her. You’re pretty sure you know why she’s so afraid. But you can’t, not at the moment since you don’t have one of the magic doohickeys that seems to turn off the ability of “whoever” it is that is watching.

So you promise something that you may or may not be able to keep, but you mean nonetheless.

“You mean it?” she ask, your ribs creaking just a little more.

“Yes,” you say honestly.

“You better,” she mutters, finally releasing her grip on you enough so that you aren’t afraid your ribs are about to be turned into powder, “I…I’d miss you.”

It’s with that that the two of you finally get out of the shower. Tatsuko turns off the water, both of you stepping out of the shower as she dries you off and then herself. You probably could’ve helped, but while you’re getting a little better, you’re still weak and tired.

Tatsuko finishes, then opens the door. You step outside.

There’s a couple options for you now.

>Get Tatsuko to take you to bed, you’re bushed. Anything else can wait.
>Go downstairs, you need food before you pass out and…well you can get the worst of it out of the way.

Food is always the best plan.

You glance down the stairs, your stomach rumbles. You’re hungry, very hungry in fact. But you really think that you might just pass out any second. So you make your decision based upon that.

“I need to go to sleep,” you tell Tatsuko, whom nods, letting you lean on her as you make it to the large king bed that you…well you kinda share it with her. And everyone else. And sometimes the couch. What you’re trying to say is that you really don’t have a permanent place to sleep yet.

You don’t even really feel the bed. You saw Tatsuko pull back the covers, then you barely felt the pillow and then you blacked out.

You wake up…later.

You don’t know how long it’s been, where exactly you are or what happened in the meantime, but you’re pretty sure it’s the real world.

At least you hope it is because if not it has an awful lot of really good copies of most of your harem.

Let’s see…Tatsuko seems to have claimed sleeping behind you as her rightful spot. Creaking your eyes open, you see Akeno. And a glance down at your feet show that Chris has somehow curled up around them in a position that does not look comfortable at all.

You feel…better at least. Your stomach feels like it’s starting to gnaw on your backbone a little, but that’s nothing a large meal shouldn’t fix. It lets out a rather large grumble to let you know it agrees.

A small shift gets you some moans and groans from the three, but you can’t seem to move enough to get them to wake.

“They were worried about you,” says Kaname’s voice from behind you, where you can’t see, “I was too. Just because you can’t die doesn’t mean we don’t worry about you.”

“Yeah,” you say, “I kinda figured that out.”

“Was it worth it?” she asks, “Whatever the reason was?”

You don’t respond at first. It’s a loaded question, something that requires a thought out answer that you aren’t sure you can provide at the moment.

It takes a few moments, but you finally come up with something that…well you think it’ll be ok at least.

“Yes,” you say, which is immediately answered by simply more silence, which you guess means she’s waiting for an explanation.

“I didn’t realize that this would happen,” you continue, “not this badly this early. So, on one level that’s a good thing to know, even as much as it hurts me to know that you felt that way.” You pause, taking a breath.

“But in the long run I think it was worth it. It was my first fight which could even be considered hard and I didn’t do too badly. Ms. Black was holding back, but I gave as good as I got. It managed to get her on our side too, officially now,” you speak lightly, letting Kaname figure out what you actually mean, “So whenever things get…deeper, we should have some help.”

It’s here that you take a breath.

“Finally…you know I could just lay back, let you girls do everything. That’d be fine on a certain level. But…but I couldn’t, I won’t do that to all of you. It would hurt me just as much to see any of you hurt and know I could’ve done something to stop it. Even if it hurts me. So, yes, it was worth it. But I realize that I was pretty stupid afterwards.”

There’s silence for a few moments, then Kaname sighs and you hear her stand. You turn your head a little, but then you feel lips on your cheek.

“You’re still an idiot,” she says, “But at least your heart is in the right place.”

“I agree,” says Akeno, apparently awake, surprising you as draws your head towards her and holds you, “But don’t do it again or I’ll zap you good.”

Well, you guess it’s a good thing you don’t have to make that speech twice. You can’t help but grin just a little.

It takes a few minutes, but Kaname manages to get Tatsuko to wake up and let you go. Chris takes a little more, but eventually everyone is awake, gets changed and heads downstairs.

Breakfast is waiting for you, a large spread that seems to be partly made by your enchanted kitchenware, partly by Riela and Imca who are waiting for the five of you to come down.

As all of you dig in, energy coming back into your body as you do so, Kaname asks, “So, do you have any plans for today?”

Confirm that Chris, Tatsuko and Karasuba are sentient. Set up a dinner with just the harem, under an interference cube.

“Well, I think those sports girls said they might be coming over,” you reply, trying not to shove too much food in your face as you talk, “So I guess I’ll have to deal with them.”

You gulp, swallowing a mix of eggs and sausage.

“But other than that,” you pause, wondering how to word this correctly, “I was thinking about getting all of…us…together,” you say to her, “Maybe over dinner.”

Kaname seems to grasp your meaning and nods, glancing at Akeno, who seems to glance at you and then nods just slightly.

“So a relatively light day then,” says Chris, whom is the only one still slightly miffed at you. But she was never all that mad, at least you thought so, just mostly drawing off of the other girls.

“Yeah,” you answer, “Just some talking, maybe a little enchantment studying, cooking dinner later maybe.”

“Good,” says Chris, glancing at the other three, who are apparently calming her down a little bit.

It’s here that you hear a knock on the door.

You go to stand, but Akeno stands first, giving you a glance that keeps you in your chair, finishing your meal.

You manage to finish mopping up everything from your plate, before Akeno comes in and nods towards the living room. “You have guests,” she says.

Nodding back, you stand and walk to the living room.

Inside you have three guests, the leader, the flirty one and the girl who healed you.

How do you greet them?

perhaps we could ask Kaede what she would do if she met Slendy. then if she wouldn't be mean to her we could suggest the two of us take a nap together and try to reach her at which point we spend like 10 protag points to try to get a hold of her.

Businesslike is probably a little to stiff for a deal like this, and Not Eager will set us all off on the wrong foot.

“Hello,” you say casually, taking a seat on one of the chairs near the couch, “I’m sorry I don’t really have food made like I promised, I wasn’t sure you’d show up after my…appearance yesterday.”

“Well, I must say that it was memorable,” says Galland, relaxing a bit as you open with chit-chat and not business, “Even if you did seem a little less awe inspiring than what we’d heard.”

“Well, I don’t actually know what they say about me,” you smile, “But it’s probably not all that true.”

Galland chuckles a bit, “Maybe, but if it’s even a little true, it’ll probably be worth it.”

You shrug, then look at the pigtailed girl from before, “I never did get your name,” you say.

“Georgette, Georgette Lemare,” she answers.

“Well, let me say thanks for healing me,” you say, before turning back to Galland, “So, what exactly are you looking for from me? You explained Witchball a little, but I’m not sure what enchantments you’re looking for.”

“Well…” Galland pauses, glancing at the other two, “There are three things we’re looking for and maybe one we’re hoping for.”

You raise your eyebrow.

“Well, the three are speed, defense and maneuverability,” she says, as if that’s obvious, “Seeing as how all of those are necessary to win in Witchball.”

“And the last thing?” you ask.

“Well, we told you how witchball is largely about customization?”

You nod.

“We’ve been going over the rule book a lot lately, due to…issues, we’ve been having,” She says this in the tone of an athlete who doesn’t like losing, “Mostly due to other teams having more funds than us.”

“What does this have to do with me then?”

>>31986680
“We were hoping that maybe you could…figure out something more powerful than a broom for us to ride. It’s not in the rules that you have to fly a broom, just something that is witch powered.”

“You want me to invent something for you to fly around on?” you ask, a little stunned.

“In short, yes,” says Galland, shrugging, “At least we’d like you to try. If not, upgrading our equipment should work well enough. If we can work out some form of non-monetary payment.”

You pause. Inventing something new? How the hell, where the hell would you even start? You might be able to pull something off…but then again you aren’t sure you could. But if you did…they’d be heavily indebted to you. Or you could skip that entirely and just try enchanting the stuff they have now. Plus, the whole no money thing…what would you want from the Witchball team?

I'm all for trying to invent stuff, but we really do need to figure out reimbursement. This is a negotiation, after all.

>>31986707
>You'll look into it, not promising anything.

See if we can barrow one of their tech people to work with. We need someone who knows the witchball rules and regs inside out and has a good idea of how their competition's tech works and what its performance specs are.

To all the anons talking about money, if we can invent some new flying thing for the team to use we can patent it and sell it! Then gift some to our team as a promotional stunt!

Plus, school spirit and all that jazz.

>>31986782
We do need the money and we got a literal army of women already. We are actually nearing the limit of harem members we can realistically maintain.

>>31986752
This. They're Strike Witches without Strikers. This needs to be rectified immediately.

>>31986707
>>Yeah, nothing until we talk payment.
Until we at least have some definitive form of payment, we can't really proceed further.
Better healing knowledge, I guess? Or just regular healing?
Is there anything a witchball team gains access to more than the average student?

i'll look into it not promising aything, but there is still the matter of payment. I understand that you do not have money and you now see the condition I live in so what I am wondering is what can you offer my for my services. The normal enchantments are no big deal and would not cost as much as the new flying instrument that being said I would like to know what use I can get out of you. Sorry if this is a bit blunt, but I do have a lot to manage on my own.

Yeah, it's kind of silly to think money has any real value in a magic based post-scarcity society. The only things of real value we've seen so far are skill/talent, rare reagents and artifacts... Still, I get the desire to set strict boundaries with a set of prospective clients.

They've already said they can't give us money, so I'm not pushing for that.

My main ideas would be training, merchandising rights, or a mutual defense pact/alliance

>>31987052
Exactly why I don't want payment yet. I can't think of anything they could provide other than being a promotional team for us.

>>31987052
Advertising and Merch rights. When we make them the best team in the league we're going to get some serious exponential money from getting this beforehand.

>>31987052
Lessons in healing magic if we're going to keep getting our shit kicked in

>>31987052
Fighting power greater access to equipment. A lab something that would directly benefit our harem or our army. We know that don't have too much money. I am willing to work things out.

>>31987052
Let's aim for something other than money.

I mean, if this all works out, we can easily get magic or something out of it. Hell, if we really do good, we can get them as allies and have a Magical Air-force at our disposal

Something more tangible than straight up money. Especially if they're poor. Like healing techniques, advertising/merchandise rights, ect.

Have the healer join our harem fro support that is a good idea although that sounds a lot like prostitution or at least an escort service.

>>31987052
Merch and advertisement rights and resources, mostly. Alliance and training would be nice too.

>>31987052
Advertising and Merch rights, assistance fundraising when we need it, and a helping hand with various tasks when needed (And it doesn't conflict with your training schedule)

Having skilled aerial warriors as well as healing magics is an important thing.

Also; A contract and NDA that states they won't provide the technology to anyone else, and it's OUR soul decision what happens with the technology.

>>31987052
Hmm.

1. Our name on the final product or at least refered to when they mention it.
2. Access to knowledge/equipment that we wouldn't otherwise have.
3. Some defined percentage (a reasonable one) of any profits they make off the use of our tech. (this one is very negotiable)

I have a brilliant idea that may or may not be okay with Guide, so this is pending his approval.

Okay, so we get the witchball team to collect scrap metal for us. After that, we pull out the protag points and do a little enchanting..

When we're finished, we have what's pretty much a junkyard gundam, specially made for the witchball team. We probably wouldn't be able to build one for all of them though (assuming we can build one), so they'd only get one.

If it works, we now have a grateful team of healers with a flying junkyard gundam.
WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong.jpeg

I don't actually believe Guide will allow this bullshit, but damn would that be cool.

Guys, all the skills and shit can be decided later once they like us. Advertising and Merch is something that, once they git gud, they'll never give away. focus on that, and the rest of it will come to us from goodwill.

>>31987052

Oh, there can be value to money in a post-scarcity environment. It would just mostly represent and pay for services, real estate, and other such parts of the economy, with material goods being extraordinarily cheap.

Boots and wings Nigga. One for thrust, one for Manuverability. That way when one's damaged, you still have the other to maintain you, so that you can at least manage to land safely, either by tempering thrust, and aiming, or by gliding.

How about we just ask them to evaluate our prototype enchantments? It'll save us time and effort in the long run and we can make money off that.
