[ ... Huh. Give him a few moments to stare at that message since after the first time he's read through it, he's pretty sure he read something wrong. Because it doesn't make any sense. But nope, it really is there.. ]
does chiuzruchan have a brother/ [ It's the very first fact he's already confused about. ]
im just saying i am prety sure id know it if chizuruchan ha da brother especially if i apparntly talked to him
[ Which is why it sounds more like Souji is trying to play some elaborate trick on him more than anything except Shinpachi can't really figure out where it's going yet.. is this supposed to be payback for the stuff he told the other guy the day he arrived? ]
Wrecking his brain here for a few moments, so the message is a little delayed. ]
well theres that one gril that looks like her but shes obiously not a guy [ .. right...? Of course he at least saw the similarities between that "girl" and Chizuru, but since Kaoru was wearing 1920s wear back then he just dismissed it as a really weird coincidence. ] so i dont know what youre talking about
[ ... Okay, wait. Shinpachi might be oblivious at times and act like a complete idiot for an even greater part of the time, but it's not like he's completely dumb. It's pretty easy to see what he's implying here after all - but that still hardly seems to make sense. From the times they've talked Shinpachi can clearly envision Kaoru by now and she-- he? looks nothing like a guy at all. At least in Chizuru's case he could see it once he was told about it, but this.. ]
that's a guy?/ [ Maybe now he's actually hoping it's a prank, because he's not sure whether to feel surprised or just thoroughly embarassed for not getting it. ]
[ chizuru's disguise is a lot easier to see through whereas kaoru's a bit harder, he'll give him that much. not even kondou-san was able to figure out until he'd told him, but still...
[ This is why he doesn't like that stupid text, it's hard to convey whether you're being serious or not and especially with Souji there's no telling right now..
But okay, let's assume it is serious since he's being contacted over it late at night like this. But then.. ]
why woiuld he dress up as awoman and onlytell you thoug?// [ His typing's becoming a little messier since he's embarassed at the thought that he didn't realise all this time and he's talked to Kaoru at least.. what, three or four times now? So he doesn't really have the proper time to pay attention to where his fingers land. ] chizuruchan didnt sday anyting either
[ Chizuru has a twin brother who she doesn't even remember.. and said twin brother likes dressing up as a girl for whatever reason.. Shinpachi's not too sure what to think about any of those facts, but just as he's trying to puzzle them together, there's that other question.
Of all things-- ]
like hell im not eveng oing to go near that junk [ Because if there's any sensitive topic for Shinpachi, then it's the ochimizu.. ]
besids where would have get that stuff from?// kodosna?
[ If they're twins then he is their shared father, right.. then again, it's only one of the questions that could be asked about what Souji is asking. ]
[ Geez.. Chizuru's sibling who's crossdressing and has the ochimizu but has been keeping entirely quiet about all of those facts.. it doesn't take a smart person to put together that sounds more than just a little bit suspicious. Especially since Chizuru's a demon, so her sibling would be the same.. ]
you think hes trouble [ It would be the pretty logical conclusion for why Souji contacted him to begin with. ]
[ after getting gifted with an empty bottle of ochimizu, though, he sure isn't taking any chances, and that's why he's here, contacting the ones he knows who haven't been graced with the medicine's effects yet. you can never be too sure!! ]
[ "Know" implies he had some sort of personal trouble with Kaoru already. Or that's what Shinpachi reads into it, either way, but if Souji isn't giving any details already then he doubts the other guy is planning on doing so in general, so he decides to not pry on that part for now. Instead-- ]
got it
[ Instead he just takes it as a serious warning. Sure, Souji might be a little trigger happy with his sword, that's obvious to anyone, but it's not like his judgement is entirely bad. Enough for Shinpachi to trust him on this one. ]
ill watc hout next time so thanks [ Even if the warning is a little later, but whatever. He's survived it so far, either way. And yes, it's a genuine thanks, not even sarcastic or anything. ]
