Truth Be Told: 4th wall interview
A/N: It's the fourth interview for today! This interview however is aimed as some of the servants of the Orimura, this is a slight touch on the skin of TbT's most powerful force and rest assured… there will be more to come.
That is what I wanted to say today… so let's start!
Disclaimer: I don't own Infinite Stratos (except for my plot and OCs), it belongs to Izuru Yumizuru.
Interview #4
Okay here I am, I'mherepresent, putting myself in the story as the interviewer of my own characters for the fourth time.
(Sigh…)
Well I'm not currently in the academy now, judging from the room I am in. A Japanese room for royalty and in front of me is four beautiful maid wearing miko attires sitting in seiza as if they were almost waiting for me to wake up.
One has long pink hair and looks a wee bit serious; the other has a cold expression while twiddling her chin-length blue hair, the 3rd one is a cheerful girl with twintails and lastly a black haired beauty who doesn't seem to care about her surroundings at all.
Ahhh… I know where I am now… I'm in Kyoto or specifically I'm in northern Kyoto, in the territory of the Orimura clan. But thankfully I'm not in the main mansion
This must be the receiving quarters of the territory and I'm the guest here and also those I wanted to interview are here in front of me so for my own convenience... so off I go!
[Start of interview]
I'mherepresent: Um, is it safe to assume that I'm in the Orimura territory?
Sora: Yes, it is. An American basilisk dropped you off here, saying that you're the author of the story and that you want to interview your characters, well now it's us that you want to interview.
I'mherepresent: Yes, so kind of Miss Satella to bring me here… but I don't think shooting me on the face with tranquilizer was kind at all. (Grumbles)
Kazan: Author-san really has a lot of things in his plate. Poor thing.
Umi: I almost pity you for your extremely hard job.
I'mherepresent: Thanks for the symphaty but you can console me by not being too violent in this interview, no matter how embarrassing the questions are.
Sora: Don't worry; there won't be any violence from us. If there are then we have shamed our honor as maids of Ichika-sama.
Yama: Trust us author-kun.
I'mherepresent: Well knowing you four, I can thoroughly trust you so I'm really happy and relieved. So anyway…
(Pulls out the question list)
… Let's start the interview.
Kazan: I'm game!
Umi: Bring it on.
I'mherepresent: The four of you are part of the guard squad of the Orimura clan's only son; can you slightly regale us about your feelings and experiences in that post?
Sora: Hmmm, it is the most meaning part of my life. I don't anymore care about what I was before, before I was reborn into an Orimura. Serving Ichika-sama is my greatest joy in all of my existence.
Yama: That's pretty serious, well as expected by Sora. I'm no different either; I barely have any recollections of my past life and I really don't care either way.
Ever since we were first taken in by the Orimura as the very, very, very, very, very, very lucky few they decided to spare, we have decided to serve them until our last breath. That is the manifestation of the new resolve we have developed, that is loyalty.
I'mherepresent: Yes, that side to you four has been noted by a lot of the readers. The four of you, no matter how much the maltreatment or cruelty thrown to you by your masters, you still serve them willing without any ill intentions hidden. That takes a lot of… will and resolve to stick to being loyal to them.
Umi: That is nothing to be surprised of, that is and always will be the creed of loyal servants. We serve our masters through thick and thin and even in the face of death.
Kazan: Even though our experiences there are very much filled with bad things, we don't have any regrets in being servants of the Orimura, specifically for our young master, Ichika-sama. (Blushes while smiling happily)
I'mherepresent: You four… (Smiles)
Another question, you four did not automatically become the servants of Ichika right? So what were your posts and division before you were turned to Ichika's personal servants.
Sora: I was once part of Izanami-sama personal maid group.
Umi: I'm on the grounds patrol squad, a newbie included amongst the ranks of powerful veteran maids.
Kazan: One of the maintainers of the temple grounds and training grounds of the Orimura estate.
Yama: A young addition to the assassination and sabotage squad.
I'mherepresent: So the four of you weren't actually together. I remember the reason why you four became Ichika's personal servants is because he was the one that saved you from execution.
Yama: Actually it wasn't just us four there are approximately 200 of us that young master Ichika saved from our crimes that were charged against us.
I'mherepresent: What kind of crimes are those?
Sora: Well for the four of us, is supposed negligence in our work and Ichika-sama spending time with us which the elders and other Orimura clan member did not like at all, the latter part was the same for the 196 others that became Ichika-sama's personal servants.
After those charges there is also a mountain of others that were piled up to hasten our execution.
I'mherepresent: Um, a side question, I hope this is not too rude or offensive, but what was the method of execution?
Umi: Decapitation, bifurcation and incineration.
I'mherepresent: Eh? That's harsh…
Kazan: That's the Orimura clan, our ever so wonderful masters (Smiles and winks happily)
I'mherepresent: That must be pretty hard. Did you four feel fear when all of you were lined up at your execution day? Or rather what happened to you all first before the day of the execution?
Umi: At first all of us were arrested and then jailed for 2 months without any food or water, we were constantly tortured through mental torture abilities of some of the pure bloods, there were daily physical punishment also.
After that two months we were brought out and then taken to the open grounds were many of the Orimura purebloods including the four matriarchs, their daughters, members of the Mokushiroku and the rest of the Orimura populace, all waiting for us to die for our transgressions.
I'mherepresent: But I feel like those charges were made up and exaggerated just from listening to them.
Sora: Yes, your assumption is correct but going against our masters on that time were going against our new existence, so we accepted it, but there were some of us who became afraid and started crying.
Umi: It's natural, humans who are faced with death with inevitably crumble.
I'mherepresent: That's very much true. Did you four cry?
Umi: I didn't, but I felt afraid.
Kazan: Well… I did… In fact I bawled while being placed on the chopping board… It was really embarrassing time for me and of course one of the most frightening…
Yama: There, there… (Reaches over and comforts the teary-eyed Kazan)
I'mherepresent: Sorry did I ask something I shouldn't have?
Sora: No don't worry, any question we will answer. It has been ordered to us by our masters.
I'mherepresent: Okay then… then let's continue with earlier.
Yama: I will take care of that…
In the eve of our execution, we were reading of our mistakes, it was rather short because some of the pureblood Orimuras were hurrying the procedures.
I'mherepresent: Are the matriarchs and prodigies doing that too?
Yama: No, they were all watching in total silence, wholly uninterested of the event.
I'mherepresent: Some I'm not surprised knowing them.
Yama: Yeah, our masters are really cruel.
The execution was very much rushed and then skipped to the execution itself, it wasn't just Kazan here who cried but there were many of us who broke into tears. All of us were not ready to die yet…
But then before the blades removed our heads from our body, Ichika-sama who was supposed to be kept in the quarters of his mother, came in running and stopped the execution…
Sora: (…)
Kazan: (…)
Umi: (…)
I'mherepresent: Um… then what happened?
Yama: … Ichika-sama cried and pleaded his mother to not kill us. (Sniff)… He begged so earnestly that even some of the purebloods who wanted us dead faltered.
But Izanami-sama, Shizuka-sama, Minazuki-sama and Shiori-sama on the other hand were moved and they put a stop to the execution immediately and had us freed and rid of our charges.
Kazan: Ichika-sama was really; really kind… that's why I'll… I'll… I'll serve him until my dying days! UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (Starts bawling)
Sora: Same for me… (Sniff)
Umi: Me too… (Sniff)… it comes as something natural...
Yama: Stop crying, you're all going to make me cry too… (Sniff)…
I'mherepresent: We'll take a short break…
(After a few minutes…)
Yama: We are finally okay now… please author-san, continue with the interview… (Wipes some tears)
I'mherepresent: Okay, then what happened after the execution was cancelled?
Yama: Sora, you fill in the rest of the details.
Sora: Fine, after the execution was cancelled, we were summoned to the main hall of the mansion. Izanami-sama is there with Ichika-sama, both were waiting for us.
Izanami-sama declared then and there that all of us, all 200 of us that were supposed to be executed and then saved by Ichika-sama are to be reassigned from our former posts to the new squads that will be responsible for the care and protection of Ichika-sama.
That was one of the happiest moments of our life, not only because we were saved but also given a second chance and served the boy that rescued us from death.
I'mherepresent: I can feel from your words that even now that same happiness you felt is still present.
Umi: Of course. That moment will remain in our minds so long as it exists and that will never ever fade away.
Kazan: Ichika-sama! Waaah!
I'mherepresent: (And they start being emotional again)
Sora: Please forgive their behavior, it's just that Ichika-sama always hits a soft spot in our hearts and never fails to make us very emotional…
I'mherepresent: No sweat, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
But really Ichika has such impact on your lives, so let's ask this, what are your feelings for Ichika, is it just normal master and slave relationship or is there something else, something special in the side of you girls.
Sora: That's… well… at first we are really loyal to Ichika-sama even before we became his personal maids. Simply because Ichika-sama has this side to him that makes people want to flock around him, like a flame in a very cold winter.
Yama: Yeah, or maybe like a very sweet flower to bees and butterflies…
Sora: Ichika-sama is a very kind soul; it's in his very nature. That made us his loyal servants for life… but as for those special feelings you are referring to… (Stops talking and starts blushing)
I'mherepresent: Is there? Are there any special stirring within for your young master?
Sora: (…)
Kazan: (…)
Umi: (…)
Yama: (…)
(All four starts to blush heavily and slowly turns away)
I'mherepresent: There are… aren't they?
Umi: Well, it's not that loyalty is our solely feelings for Ichika-sama, there is awe and admiration too… (Throws a very unstable denial)
Kazan: Y-Yeah! Ahahahahahahahaha!
(Sora and Yama facepalms on the other hand)
I'mherepresent: It must be hard to admit something like that towards your own master…
Sora: Right now we don't intend to act out those feelings as such they will just get in the way of our work. Besides it is not our place to do so, we are and nothing more just slaves for Ichika-sama, his own personal toys that have one purpose in life and that is to serve and protect Ichika-sama… our own feelings are not relevant to this.
I'mherepresent: But if given the chance, will the four of you tell Ichika that?
Umi: Well, if Ichika-sama permits us to do so then we will but we won't expect answers from him. To us, it is enough that we managed to remain by his side and serve him.
Kazan: … That pretty much sums up our feelings.
I'mherepresent: You're right, as of now something like that is not possible, but I do hope you four can get that chance.
Sora: Thank you… we somehow hope that opportunity will come too…
I'mherepresent: So next question, aside from Ichika you have interacted with other members of the clan right, but name those who have made big impacts in your life.
Sora: Izanami-sama, she has by far a very important person along with Ichika-sama in our lives.
I'mherepresent: What were the things she did?
Umi: Izanami-sama was the one that took all of us in prior to us becoming Orimura's, she had us trained, clothed and accepted us as servants. By doing that she gave us new lives when our first one ended, we are forever thankful for that.
I'mherepresent: But didn't the four of you suffer while serving the Orimura?
Kazan: To us, those were not suffering but rather minor consequences for the second chance at living. We won't and never will harbor any ill-intention to the Orimura family for whatever they will do to us.
I'mherepresent: So much loyalty that I can't even describe it. So this means you four are loyal to the rest of the clan?
Sora: Yes, but it does not compare to the loyalty we have for Ichika-sama.
I'mherepresent: How about the prodigies? Do they count as one of the influential existences in your lives?
Sora: Prodigies… I would say Chifuyu-sama. (Looks at Umi, Kazan and Yama)
Umi: (Nod)
Kazan: (Nod)
Yama: (Nod)
Sora: Chifuyu-sama was the one that showed us what was wrong in the Orimura clan and also gave us enough courage to tear out of the shell of fear we harbor for the clan and do something that is best for Ichika-sama.
Ever since the very beginning, Chifuyu-sama was the least one who takes advantage of Ichika-sama's kindness to satisfy their own desires like what the other prodigies do with Chigusa and Chisaya-sama being the worst… well Chifuyu-sama has her own selfish moments too, she does depend a lot on Ichika-sama for her own mental stability.
But she simply thinks of what's best for our young master.
I'mherepresent: Well in the story Chifuyu did do a lot of big feats for Ichika during when she is still in the family and out of it.
But here is another question, who among the prodigies you less like.
Umi: (…)
Kazan: (…)
Yama: (…)
Sora: … We are not allowed to hate our masters, no hateful feelings nestle in our hearts against them, but to answer that question, I think it would be Chigusa-sama.
I'mherepresent: Can you elaborate on that?
Sora: Chigusa-sama is by far the most selfish of the prodigies, just ahead of Chisaya-sama by a small margin.
I said this because Chigusa-sama from the very beginning wants to have Ichika-sama for herself alone and often got into fights with her sisters from a day to day basis because of that also in several instances she had placed Ichika-sama in harm's way, Chifuyu-sama was included in that as well.
I'mherepresent: You mean when they fought and accidentally stabbed Ichika?
Sora: Yes…
I'mherepresent: What did you four and the rest of Ichika servants feel when you heard the news of your young master almost being killed?
Sora: It shocked all of us deeply, we almost panicked when we all thought Ichika-sama perished, thankfully Shiori-sama cleared the news for us.
Umi: I never want to remember that feeling again… (Makes a sad expression)
Kazan: Uuuu… Ichika-sama…
Yama: (…)
I'mherepresent: It really did do that much damage on you girls huh?
Anyway to change the atmosphere, let's ask this question, you girls said that you four aren't really members of the Orimura clan right? Can you four tell us what your former lives were?
Sora: For me I was an orphan, I no longer have any recollections of the place I originated from, but I clearly remember that my old home was destroyed by a fierce in-fighting in between two large armed forces.
No one survive that but me, after that Izanami-sama found me and took me in as I sat in the middle of ruins looking blankly in the air.
I don't know why Izanami-sama extended that kindness to me but I'm very grateful for her, because of that I managed to meet Ichika-sama.
I'mherepresent: That baffles me as well knowing her I thought she would stomp you to death instead. Sorry for saying that.
Sora: That was my initial thought as well when I first saw her, my daze was replaced by fear when saw her beauty up close but instead she smiled at me in a sinister way and offered a new chance for life.
I'mherepresent: And now you are one of the proud servants of the Orimura. So next, Umi-san what was your former life before becoming an Orimura?
Umi: Me, if I remember correctly, I was once a child soldier from a fortress in the middle of a place full of ice and snow, I think it was located in the upper regions or inside a large mountainous area.
I remember having friends back then however I killed them all after I met a beauty who visited me when I was taking a nightly stroll, she simply told me to kill all my friends and give up my former self if I want a new life. After she said that, I did so without any hesitation. After I killed all my friends I found that everyone inside the fortress has been killed brutally by masked women who are fighters of the Shinigami, then after that I was knocked out and I woke up three days inside the Orimura mansion.
I'mherepresent: Wait you obeyed that out of a whim? And I think I know who that lady who ordered you was…
Umi: That was Izanami-sama.
I'mherepresent: Seems that she specifically chooses persons to become servants for the Orimura, Kazan-san was it the same for you, I mean the circumstances when you were recruited?
Kazan: Yup, Izanami-sama was also the one who saved me. I was a new captive in a prostitution ring that the Orimura attacked and destroyed completely along with the city where the prostitution ring was in.
I'mherepresent: Everything?
Kazan: Everything. I even saw children and women being butchered by the forces of the Orimura along with the men from the prostitution ring, oh also the other women I was with inside the ring was murdered, in the end it was only me and two more girls survived or rather was spared.
After that we were taken to the Orimura estate and that's that. That's my short backstory.
I'mherepresent: So how about you Yama-san, what's your backstory?
Yama: I'm an assassin from the Chinese underground world before I became an Orimura servant. I under the command of one General Chu Fai which I can't recall in my memories anymore, only thing that I clearly remember is that one time our base came under attack and everyone in it were slaughtered, I was the only one left and then ten masked women appeared before me with a very beautiful woman in the lead, it was Izanami-sama.
She offered me a chance to survive and by desperation I accepted and it was a decision I was happy I made.
I'mherepresent: Every one of you was recruited after a massacre, well that's very Orimura-like of Miss Izanami.
So then what happened after you four were taken to the Orimura territory?
Sora: Well if I remember correctly, the Shinigami altered or rather replaced our genes and implanted inside us artificially cultured Orimura genes. That point we ceased to be human and reborn as servant Orimuras.
I'mherepresent: So I guess you four technically Orimura members, is it the same for the other servants aside from Ichika's guard squad?
Sora: No, every servant, from the Palace guards guarding the inner Orimura territory, the Border guardians patrolling the borders of Kyoto, Assassin units lurking in the shadows of city, Kyoto guardians responsible for maintaining the city, and the main servant unit that makes up the majority of the maids maintaining palaces are all artificially created beings made from genes of five Orimura warriors, they replaced the servants that died during the collapse.
I'mherepresent: Can you name those warriors? And also why are all servants of the Orimura females?
Sora: I cannot disclose that information; it is valuable and also spoiler. But as for your second question, I learned recently that Izanami-sama and Minazuki-sama who created the servants, intention made them females because they simply did not need any more males, aside from Ichika-sama, the patriarch and the great founder who is the grandfather of Ichika-sama.
I'mherepresent: I see, so have you met these other two males of the Orimura family?
Sora: (…)
Umi: (…)
Kazan: (…)
Yama: (…)
I'mherepresent: (…)
Sora: No we haven't…
I'mherepresent: I see… so then let's get back to the topic about Miss Izanami. What do you think of her?
Umi: She is by far one of the scariest yet also the most awe-inspiring figure in my life.
Sora: (Nod)
Kazan: (Nod)
Yama: (Nod)
I'mherepresent: Miss Izanami is really beautiful and by far one of the most beautiful in the world despite being in the age of 47. But her power and wickedness mostly clouds her beauty, add to the fact that she never acts womanly.
But aside from Miss Izanami, what are your thoughts about the other matriarchs?
Sora: You answer this question (Nudges Kazan)
Kazan: Okay!
My pick would be Shizuka-sama. I think she is really cute because she just sleeps; well she's cute if you don't wake her up from her sleep.
I'mherepresent: Shizuka seems to be less dangerous, if not provoked, compared to Izanami and Shiori. But she seems to be more unpredictable because of the trigger for her tantrums.
Kazan: True, Shizuka-sama does rampage when her sleep is disturbed by she acts less violent than Izanami-sama and Minazuki, kinda like Shiori-sama. Speaking of Shiori-sama, I like her as well because she is by far the kindest of the matriarchs and I like her too.
Umi who's your pick?
Umi: Um, I would say Izanami-sama and Shizuka-sama, I'm a power-type fighter and I admire their prowess.
Yama how about you?
Yama: Me would probably be Minazuki-sama, her wiles and guiles really intrigued and I want to somehow be like her… well save for her brutal and cold nature.
Sora you're last.
Sora: Me would be Izanami-sama and Shior-sama. I admire Izanami-sama not just because of her power but because of her undying affection and love for Ichika-sama, the sight of the two of them together never fails to make me happy.
I also like Shiori-sama for the same reason, she cares deeply for Ichika-sama and also does what is the very best for him, evidence for that is when she recalled one battalion of Shinigami warriors during Chifuyu-sama's exodus with Ichika-sama in the closing pages of the rebellion. But another reason is her proficiency in using the sword, she is without a doubt the most powerful sword master of the world, not only limited to wielding Katanas, she uses all kinds of swords.
Of course, me, who is a sword user would naturally admire her magnificent skills.
I'mherepresent: So all of you somehow like the matriarch despite their utter scariness?
Sora: Yes, somehow we managed to develop a very small tolerance to their overwhelming presence, but at least it was enough for us to appreciate some of their traits that are beyond their usually intimidating and deadly personas.
I'mherepresent: I guess there is more to them than they usually show… but I still am afraid to face in a conversation. (Mumbles the last sentence)
Anyhow let's move to another question, for a change, tell me something about yourselves, just a brief description.
Let's start with you Sora-san, what do you usual do from day-to-day.
Sora: For me… I just start it off by waking up, usual at 4:00 am. I take a bath, ready myself and I go do chores that I normally do. Although right now in the story, with me being a commander under Izanami-sama, I remain inside one of the commands inside the estate and await any orders Izanami-sama may give me.
But since I don't receive any mission for now, I go back to my duties as a maid and wear my old miko attire that I find more comfortable than my military attire.
I'mherepresent: I did not expect normal routine like that from a servant of the Orimura. I expected your undertaking assassination missions day and night.
Sora: I do not receive those kinds of mission at the moment. My life is not really as extreme as you thought it to be, that only happened during the collapse but right now everything is back to normal. Sorry, normalcy is probably not to be associated with our masters.
I'mherepresent: True indeed, then next is Umi-san. How do you start your day?
Umi: I wake up 3:00am, train for two hours and then prepare myself for my maid duties. I am also a commander under Izanami-sama like Sora, and like her I rarely receive mission recently. So I stick to my maids duties to fill my time.
Kazan: But doesn't Umi eat lot? I would easily imagine your breakfast being the longest time of your day (Sticks out tongue)
Umi: Don't say that, I make sure I finish my food in time, no matter how large the servings are.
Yama: Yeah, she looks like a pig when eating. (Snickers)
Umi: Of course not! I am a proud maid of the Orimura, I'm not going to do something as barbaric as that.
I'mherepresent: These girls are really close… (Mumbles with a smile)
(After a few minutes…)
I'mherepresent: So you girls done arguing?
Kazan: I'll stop here, Umi going to get angry if I keep on teasing her.
Umi: (Grumbles)
I'mherepresent: Okay then let's move to Kazan-san and Yama-san, how do you two start your day?
Kazan: Well I do the same thing Umi and Sora; I wake up early and prepare for my duties as a maid. Though I do take a long bath. (Sticks tongue out)
Yama: Same for me though my only odd thing is that I remain in one of the commands like Sora in case anything comes up.
I sometimes deliver messages, personally sometimes to Chiasa-sama who is in the suspended reality created by [Zenchi No].
I'mherepresent: That's some normal routines though with the additional of odds bits here and there. Is it hard, your duties?
Sora: Not really because we became used to it long ago and the workload doesn't tax our bodies anymore with the fatigue it first brought us.
Umi: Though strike missions do tire me out once in a while.
Kazan: Yeah, we've been imprisoned for so long; our bodies lessened its tolerance to highly active mission which involves chasing or taking down big targets.
I'mherepresent: Oh before I forget, you four represent the elites of Ichika's guard squad right? Are there others that are like you four?
Sora: There are but currently they are still imprisoned but their release is approaching near because the IS summit is drawing near.
Their names are Ha, Kawa, Ki, Moya and Hari. I won't go into the details because they would be introduced later on in the story.
I'mherepresent: Yeah, I don't want to start flinging out spoilers here, so let's stop with just that and move to another question.
These next sets of questions are meant for you four to tell about your favorites and dislikes, just something the readers wanted to know.
Umi: Sounds like they want to know our tastes… I don't know if I should answer this. (Grumbles)
Kazan: Relax; you don't need to tell them about your embarrassing sides that only Ichika-sama saw and us of course… (Snickers)
Yama: I'm not trouble by this though; it's just questions after all.
I'mherepresent: Alright then let's start with this;
What are your favorite dishes?
Sora: For me its spicy food, spicy ramen being my favorite.
Umi: Anything delicious, but I prefer something salty and exotic.
Kazan: Actually Umi eats everything that can be eaten (Snickers again)
Umi: Shut up already! (Growls while blushing)
Kazan: Umi is embarrassed. Anyway for me I like sweet things! (Smiles brightly)
Umi: Yeah because you are too childish for anything meant for grownups.
Kazan: Muuuuu!
Yama: For me I like sour types of foods, anything sour is good for my tastes.
I'mherepresent: So Sora-san is for spicy foods, Umi is salty foods, Kazan is for sweet foods and Yama is for sour foods… I wonder why they fit so well…
Sora: There is really no deep reason for that; it's just our personal preferences.
I'mherepresent: Okay then, next question. What do you wear when you sleep?
Sora: Um… for me my kimono. I rarely wear anything else aside from my Kimono and Miko attire, well that and my casual when I went in a trip with Ichika months ago.
Umi: I change into short and a loose shirt.
Kazan: I sleep in just my underwear.
Yama: I sleep naked.
I'mherepresent: Seems like the answers got a wee bit too extreme in this question. (Laughs wryly)
Umi: Well the four of us are different; we are not like the Shinigami who are uniform in everything.
Kazan: Well they are clones of Izanami-sama so it was already certain that they would look alike. Though Nobume-sama and Miko-sama are quite unique in their own way.
I'mherepresent: Speaking of those two, I will be interviewing them soon… when I get my safety insurance that is… (Makes a worried expression)
Yama: Oh yeah, you are also set to interview our masters huh? It's been nice knowing you I'mherepresent-san.
I'mherepresent: Please don't kill me off just yet. Anyway let's go back to the questions, as for the third question, what do you do in your free time when you aren't being assigned? No maid work either.
Sora: Well for me it's reading and writing Haikus or training my sword skills.
Umi: I train, exercise and eat.
Kazan: I sing or compose some songs.
Yama: I just laze around like a sleepy cat.
I'mherepresent: That's pretty normal.
Kazan: Author-san is expecting something weird again! (Laughs)
Sora: Well I can't be helped; we serve the Orimura clan and the instance of us being linked to their reputation is something that cannot be avoided.
Umi: True, we do carry the image of the Orimura with us. Anyway author-san, please continue with the questions.
I'mherepresent: Okay then, so next one is… what are your preferences for men?
Sora, Umi, Kazan, Yama: Author-san…
I'mherepresent: Uh… yes?
Sora: Know that we are nothing more but servants of the Orimura family, more so we are care takers of our master's son. It is not in our nature to like others especially the opposite sex, because the focus of our lives is only for our young master, no else.
I'mherepresent: O-Okay then… sorry I asked…
So then how about we go to the questions of the readers?
Sora: (Sigh)… If you say so… this is the last part of the interview right?
I'mherepresent: Yes and then you four are finally free to go.
Kazan: Okay let's do it!
Yama: Hai…
Umi: Let's go!
I'mherepresent: Okay then here it is…

28. Would you like to be massaged by a 10 year old Ichika?
Umi: What the hell!? What are there so many?
Kazan: And some of those questions confuse me because they are not questions anymore.
Sora: Well it's a question for us so let's answer it. So for the first question… do an idol group?
You mean prance around in a stage and sing ridiculous sounding songs in front of a crowd of humans? No, but if Ichika-sama orders us then we will do it with enthusiasm.
Yama: Yay to performing for Ichika-sama.
Sora: For the second question…
Sora, Umi, Kazan, Yama: NO! We would never do that to Ichika-sama!
I'mherepresent: Okay… please don't unleash your killing intent towards me!
Sora: Sorry the question just offended us… anyway for the 3rd question, of course we do stalking but we don't necessarily like it, well not if we are stalking Ichika-sama, it's our duty to monitor his safety.
For the fourth question, I wish I could answer this but I would decline, it's a secret for us servants alone.
Moving on to the 5th question, we did nothing, we merely waited for our release, since our cells are pitch black and sound proof room.
Kazan: It was a bit lonely being there all alone. (Pouts)
Sora: Anyway for the 6th question, sorry but we won't take our young master to somewhere dangerous, we would have him remain in this world, for his own safety.
For the 7th question, well for me it's the Katana.
Yama: I fight with my barehands, I'm a CQC specialist
Umi: I fight using a broadsword.
Kazan: I use swords too, but I switch to guns every now and then.
Sora: 8th question, we dislike seeing Ichika-sama sad or in pain, that is the one thing we don't ever want to see.
9th question, hobbies for me I reading and write stories and poems.
Umi: I train and eat.
Kazan: I sing and compose songs.
Yama: I just laze around.
Sora: For the 10th question, animal motif? Well for me I'm panda.
Kazan: Cats for me!
Umi: Dogs is my motif.
Yama: Sloths cause their lazy.
Sora: 11th, 12th and 13th question… I think there is one event that fits these three questions…
Umi: (Mumbles)
Kazan: (Mumbles)
Yama: (Mumbles)
Sora: It was back when we were still in the Orimura clan; Ichika-sama was still young that time… the four of us just got out after taking a bath with Ichika-sama, we did not know what came over us but… we suddenly got the urge to… masturbate while thinking of Ichika-sama…
I'mherepresent: O.O
Kazan: We saw Ichika-sama naked and frankly… he was quite big even for his age… so we could not help it… its Ichika-sama after all… so… (Nudges Umi)
Umi: A-Ah… well um… we start touching ourselves while we were changing in the locker rooms… we couldn't stop ourselves and kept going until we… um climaxed… but after we did that Ichika-sama came in and saw us without any clothes while lying on the floor…
Sora, Umi, Kazan, Yama: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I'mherepresent: Bffffh!
[Our dear author was punch by the four ladies and was thrown to another room… please hold for a few minutes]
(Later…)
I'mherepresent: I'm okay… at least I did not get sent into coma…
Sora: Sorry, it was simply too embarrassing for us… uuuuuu! At least Ichika-sama did not understand what we were doing back then or we would have committed seppuku right there…
Anyway next question 14th question, we already explained it above, just go see it there.
15th question… that would be a bit embarrassing for us… but if Ichika-sama commands it, then of course we'll do it.
16th question, kill counts? Lucky I was keeping a record of those. (Pulls out paper from his sleeve)
Let's see, for me it's 606, Umi is 604, Kazan is 600 while Yama is 604.
Yama: We really don't kill on a daily basis unlike our masters.
I'mherepresent: its fine, I'd prefer you four to not do it anyway.
Sora: 17th question, our specialties huh? I better not answer it because it will be revealed later on. So moving to the 18th question, I don't think that is something appropriate to do besides, but if Ichika-sama tells us so then I'll do it.
19th question, truth or dare with the prodigies or Ichika-sama, we might have to decline… we have our pride of Ichika-sama's servants… so next question…
20th question, we are only afraid of our masters… aside from them, nothing seems scary at all…
21st question, we do that every time, showing in our professional is a fatal mistake, especially in front of our masters.
22nd question, the hanged man arcana for the four of us…
23rd question, Ichika-sama is the obvious choice, but we will only do it if he allows us to do so.
24th question, strip battle!? (Reminded of the most embarrassing moment in her life)… next question!?
25th, sorry but we would like to clear from that types of games, it is not aligned with our profession as honored servants of the Orimura's heir.
26th, no, but we did receive training of ninjutsu and other stealthy skills ninja's use.
27th, we did do this once because Ichika-sama told us so… and that went messy with the entire kitchen being filled with splattered fruits and vegetables.
28th, the last question, well it can't be help if he ordered us but as much as possible we would like to avoid that, we don't want our master serving us it should be us that serves him.
I'mherepresent: Whew, that was long… but here is another question…
This one is from ariboku34:
All Ichika's servants have feelings for him? I mean in love? Did your love for him grow stronger because he is a Teenager/adult now?
If Ichika rewards you all what will you ask?
If Ichika want all his servants become his lovers what will you all do?
Do you all meet Ichika?
The world or Ichika who will you choice?
Know that someone has cloned your beloved master Ichika, if you find the clone what will you all do?
Question IF Ichika died how you all feel and what will you all do?
Sora: Kazan, you answer this time.
Kazan: Okay, so first question, I will say yes, all of us his guard squad love him, but the feelings vary, there are those who love him romantically but other love him in a platonic way… and… what is with that last part… but I have to admit Ichika-sama is becoming more and more good-looking as he got older.
When Ichika-sama rewards us and we get to choose what it is… we'll just say that he continues being with us. That is more than enough.
Ichika-sama wants us to be his lovers!? (Sora, Umi and Yama reacts too)
W-Well… if he says so… but that mights not happen now since we can't meet with him right now… (Pouts)
Ichika-sama or the world? Ichika-sama of course, nothing else matters to us.
If someone else clones Ichika-sama…
(Killing intent from the four floods the room…)
That is an insult to our master… if there is such in the story… we will personally make sure that it gets destroyed. We will not tolerate such sacrilege against Ichika-sama.
(A few minutes of cooldown for the four…)
Kazan: Sorry for that, the question earlier was really provoking our ire. But let's go back to the answering of questions.
As for the last question from ariboku34-san… If Ichika-sama dies… then we will follow him. Our fate is tied to his and wherever he goes, we will follow him.
I'mherepresent: Okay that answer was a little too… extreme… anyhow let's move to the next question.
This one is from tomy98:
1. Out of all the servants are you four the strongest?
2. Will you visit the IS island within the next 3 weeks?
3. What would you do in the situation that Chifuyu finds you close to the academy?
Umi: This is my turn to answer.
If you are referring to our squad, then yes, the four of us are the commanding leaders of Ichika-sama's guard squad. But overall, we are maybe ranked 3rd or 4th.
As for us visit the academy, that won't happen later on and we have no reason to be afraid of Chifuyu-sama… she doesn't antagonize us because she perfectly knows of our intentions.
I'mherepresent: Another question from, this time from Kobe11:
What if Ichika wants a hug from you four but he gets a boner, will you take that opportunity with no hesitation or ask him if he will let you do it with him.
Yama: If Ichika-sama's needs arise then we will do our duty and relieve him…
(The four maids started mumbling while blushing)
I'mherepresent: I won't broach that subject, since I don't want to get punched… Next question, this one is from Oslight:
You're happy just by serving Ichika, but surely you'd want more, so what is it that you want?
What if Ichika preferred French maids instead of Mikos.
Sora: There is nothing more that we want, serving Ichika-sama is already pure bliss for us and even if he prefer (sniff) foreign servants over us… we will still serving him and be loyal to him no matter what…
Kazan: (Sniff)
Umi: (Sniff)
Yama: (Sniff)
I'mherepresent: Ah… oh no…
(After a few minutes of the four maids weeping their tears…)
I'mherepresent: You girls okay? Maybe another question will make you girls forget about that…
This one is from Blackfrostbro:
Your loyalty to Ichika is eternal and unwavering, right? So i assume that all of you will do everything Ichika ordered to you, so the question is, what will you do if Ichika asks all of you to have sex with him? XD
Forgive my perverted question, but I'm just curious XD
Umi: If he says so then who are we to refuse him, we are his personal property and he can do to us whatever he desires.
I'mherepresent: Without any hesitation huh? So then next question from Silver-Sakura-Blossom17:
If you had one day alone with Ichika, What would you do?
Kazan: We would serve our young master of course, in whatever way he wants.
I'mherepresent: What if he wants to be served in a perverted way?
Kazan: Same thing, whatever Ichika-sama would wish we will do.
I'mherepresent: Alright then, let's move to the next question.
This is from GenryuBlack94:
for the question for the maids, perhaps:
1. if you were ordered by Izanami to forcefully bring back Ichika while the prodigies keep Chifuyu busy, how will you do it?
2. For Sora, compare to the rest attendant of Izanami, how powerful you are?
Sora: That's a tall order… but we have no choice, we will have to subdue Ichika-sama but we won't inflict him any serious injury we'll just make him, by doing that we might prevent something even nasty that might happen.
As for my ranking in Izanami-sama's retinue, I'm probably the one who is the weakest… especially with the Shinigami included.
I'mherepresent: Next question… this one is from Apex85:
You seem to be aware that your young lord isn't inclined to violence and madness unlike the rest of his family, so why do you continue to aid his kin in corrupting him? You proved in the rebellion that you prioritize him over the wishes of the rest of the clan, so why do you agree to oppose him now?
Also it was mentioned that he had approximately 200 attendants including yourselves, what happened to the rest of them?
Sora: (…)
Umi: (…)
Kazan: (…)
Yama: (…)
I'mherepresent: (…)
Sora: This is quite unexpected… we don't approve at all about what the clan wants to do at all, since it would inevitably hurt Ichika-sama… but we can't disobey them either.
Their power is just too great… we can't mount up the courage to oppose them head on, not even secretly… If we do that, then the Orimura clan would kill us for it and 196 of our comrades who are still imprisoned deep under the Orimura territory.
We are in a deadlock at the moment… all we can do right now is bide our time.
I'mherepresent: You're in a very hard spot… and we keep bringing that up… sorry… but at least changing the question can help ease the mood.
This question is from Cristos:
Do you guys ever have erotic fantasies of ichika and what are they?
What are your thoughts about Madoka?
How would you rate yourselves from strongest to weakest?
Do you guys know that the author based you guys from charcters from High School DxD (such as Irina and Xenovia)
Who is the oldest among the group?
What do you guys do on your off time?
Yama: I'll handle this one.
Erotic fantasies… well… it's embarrassing to admit it but yeah we do… it mostly consists of us being domi–! (Sora, Umi and Kazan cover her mouth)
I'mherepresent: ?
Yama: Anyway, forget what I said… as for our thoughts about Madoka-sama.
We don't really hate her but at times she tends to be mean to Ichika-sama and the sight of that irritates us at times.
Rank ourselves in the clan's fighting force? In the scale of 1 to 10, 1 is the strongest and 10 being the weakest, we would be in number 3 or 4, same level as the veterans in the servant unit of the clan.
And wait really? We look like characters from another anime?
I'mherepresent: (Hands them a picture of Xenovia and Irina)
Yama: Look Umi, Kazan, your resemblance to these two are impeccable.
Kazan and Umi: Certainly… I think we need to watch this DxD anime if we have the time.
Yama: Let's leave these two for now, besides I still have to answer the last remaining questions.
The oldest in the group? Definitely Sora.
And as for our activities in our free time… we already listed them above, so just read them there.
I'mherepresent: We have another set of questions from Cristos still, though these are only for Kazan the one he favors among the maids.
Kazan: Oh really!? Then ask me those questions!
I'mherepresent:
How do you have a happy attitude a lot of the time?
How good are you with swords? (I remember the arcade incident)
Describe your favorite moments with Ichika
How do you compare in a fight with Umi?
Guilty pleasure? (Besides Ichika)
Embarrassing moment with Ichika as a kid?
Finally, what would you do if you were the same age as Ichika and had the ability to whatever you want to him with no harm placed against you?
Kazan: My happy attitude is just natural; I was like that since the very beginning.
As for my sword skills, let's say I can go toe-to-toe with Sora is who the strongest sword user among us and can put up a 30 second survival against one Shinigami warrior during the collapse, so I would say I am pretty strong.
I'mherepresent: 30 seconds against a Shinigami?
Kazan: One Shinigami can kill thousands, so last even just seconds against one is already great enough of a feat.
I'mherepresent: That's even more amazing… anyway please continue.
Kazan: Okay, as for my favorite moments with Ichika-sama… it was when we sang a song together. Haaa…. Ichika has such an angelic voice.
As for me fighting Umi, we are even. Our fighting styles don't deviate that much.
Guilty pleasure? Eating sweets. (Smiles cutely)
Embarrassing moments… what Sora said earlier… And I don't want to talk about that anymore…
And as for that last question… maybe… I'll hug Ichika-sama for a very long time and cuddle with him… (Makes a dreamy face)
I'mherepresent: I thought for sure you're going to say something lewd again, anyway two similar questions from Guest no. 1 and Wrath.
To the four servants are you in love with Ichika?
To the 4 servants:
Are the 4 of you in love with Ichika?
They asked the same question.
Sora: We wouldn't answer that directly… admitting something like that would potentially disrupt our work as servants. But we do possess strong feelings for Ichika-sama.
I'mherepresent: Guest no.2 is also asking what happened to your comrades in Ichika's guard squad.
Sora: Like was said earlier, they are still imprisoned deep in the dungeons of the Orimura underground territories.
I'mherepresent: Whew, we have so many questions today… and we still have more here… this one is from Lostinthedarkclouds:
Q1 What are your deepest darkest desire?
Q2 How was growing up like?
Q3 Most fond memories?
Q4 How was bath time with Ichika?
Q5 Any wish you want fulfilled?
Sora: The first question was highly inappropriate so I won't give an answer… since it might reveal something we are not supposed to reveal, also it might be spoiler.
Growing up in the Orimura family is pretty hard at first, especially since mistake could give you a very hard time, but later on we grew used to it and everything seemed to become easy for us.
Our most found memories? Every moment with Ichika-sama is a precious moments that we are always fond of remembering.
Bath time with Ichika-sama… well it was very fun… but sometime a little too risky due to Ichika-sama touching us and his natural innocence that stirs dangerous feelings inside us…
And as for our wish… (Looks at the other three girls and looks back at me)
We only have one wish in our lives and that is for Ichika-sama to be happy in his life.
I'mherepresent: Really selfless, you four are really selfless… Ichika is so lucky to have you as his devoted servants.
Sora: It's the other way around author-san. We are lucky to have Ichika-sama.
I'mherepresent: True for that as well.
Anyway here is another set of questions for each of you from Unicorn Gundam:
Question for Sora:
1. What you say if Ichika say that he want to marry you?
2. Do you love Ichika more than anything?
3. What if Ichika tell you that he wanted you to come and live with him forever?
4. What is your favorite food?
5. Have you ever visit the outside world?
6. What will you do if Ichika dies?
Let's start with Sora-san.
Sora: I-If Ichika-sama wants to marry me!? I-I… I would accept of course… I will never refuse the orders of my young master! (Says with a lot of vigor)
To say I love Ichika-sama… it's a bit… embarrassing but yes… Ichika-sama is a pivotal part of my life and he doesn't need to tell me that, just to serve him and see him is more than enough to make me happy my entire life, but if he does say something like that to me… I-I would be at a loss… but I would still not refuse him… in fact I would happily say yes… (Smiles)
Anyway my favorite food is anything spicy.
Outside world? Yes, I do get mission that send me outside the Orimura territory but I don't stay on it for too long once I finish my mission, well not unless Ichika-sama is with me.
And… please… stop with these questions about Ichika-sama dying… I don't want to hear it anymore.
I'mherepresent: Sorry anyway the next questions are for Umi-san.
Question for Umi:
1. Where does your name come from ?
2. Who is the person that you hate in the Orimura family?
3. What if Ichika dies, what will you do then?
Umi: My name was given to me by Izanami-sama when she took me in, I don't know of my real name anymore.
I don't hate anyone in the Orimura family; we made clear of that earlier already.
Please what did Sora say earlier, enough about this grim scenario about Ichika-sama. (Frowns)
I'mherepresent: Sorry but there probably won't be any question like this now. Now let's move to Kazan-san.
Question for Kazan:
1. Do you ever have a wet dream with Ichika as the one dominate you?
2. What do you like to do the most?
3. Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be in bed with Ichika?
Kazan: Hey why do I get the lewd questions! Anyway… I did have some long ago and they were… AAAAAAAARGGGGH! Stop reminding me about those! Next question!
I what I like to do the most is to compose songs and sing them with Ichika-sama… aaaah those memories…
Actually all of us have been in bed with Ichika-sama when he was little, he sleeps beside him so that he won't cry, he was still looking for Izanami-sama's warmth at that time. He was really clingy, ehehehehehe!
I'mherepresent: Ichika's a very kind boy and somewhat clingy to those he loves, so I kinda expected that. Okay then for Yama-san here are your questions.
Question for Yama:
1. Would you carry Ichika's child if you ask you for it then?
2. Does the attendant ever have children with each other?
3. Would you marry Ichika if he asks you for it?
4. Which one of the prodigies do you hate the most?
Yama: Uh… that's a little too extreme… but of course yes would be my answer. (Blushes)
You mean marrying between attendants? I think it used to happen back then before the collapse but it stopped now because all the servants are artificially created females that cannot bear children unless they are impregnated by Ichika-sama or his father the patriarch.
They were made that way by Izanami-sama and Minazuki-sama.
Marrying Ichika-sama… you know my answer already… :P
Which of the prodigies I hate? I'm sorry but I don't hate them… it is not for a servant to feel hate for their masters.
I'mherepresent: Whew… that questions took longer than expected and we still have more to come.
This one is from DarkManta:
Okay here my questions for them.
1. You four are really strong; can you tell us your training menu after joining Orimura family?
2. Do you remember your life before joining the Orimura?
3. Do you regret become servant of Orimura family?
4. You guys always say that Ichika's orders are absolute, does that mean that you guys will do anything he ordered. will you guy still obey him even if he order you an unreasonable order such as " you girls must wear naked apron all day long today" or " you girls are my personal sex slave today."
5. If Ichika ordered you to fight against the prodigies, will you fight them?
6. What happened to the rest of your colleagues after Izanami released you from your cell?
7. Is Sora, Yama, Umi and Kazan are your real name?
Who will answer this?
Umi: I will do it, Sora must be tired of marathoning all these questions.
So for the first question, our training menu? It's a secret for now but it will be revealed later on in the story, so you'll just have to see it there.
Barely, we can't even remember anything clear anymore, we explained above already though.
No we don't regret joining the Orimura, after all we met Ichika because of it.
The 4th question though… this Darkmanta fellow… of course we will do whatever Ichika-sama says but don't insinuate that he will orders us something as lewd as that. Even if it is to fight against the prodigies, if that is Ichika-sama's wish, then it will be done, even if it means our death.
As for our comrades, they are still locked in the deep dungeons but some of them might be released soon.
And lastly, our names are just new ones Izanami-sama gave us, our old names are of course different but they don't really matter to us anymore.
I'mherepresent: Here is another one from Frosts:
1) Please describe of your favorite moments and what sort of trouble did each of you have gone through involving with Ichika as a child? 2) Did Ichika as a child request you all to be his hug pillow whenever he goes to sleep and did you all bath together with him?
3) Judging on how the story goes, it almost the same as in one manga "Hanaukyo Maid Team" Though in this case it "Ichika Maid Team" so aside of the 200 personal attendants of Ichika, how many girls that are the benefactors of Ichika?
4) Based on the last question, what if Ichika along with the largest army of maids/attendants/etc (I haven' got a clue of the actual numbers) including of scrolls, equipment, supplies, etc belonging to the Orimura Clan are somehow stranded on an unknown island in an unknown dimension and with no way at all to coming back what will you all do in such a situations?
Kazan: I will answer these!
Favorite moments with Ichika-sama… hmmm? I know!
It was when he took a bath with us, he invented a game where all of us would use our [Reiki's] to glide on the water and play soccer on it. That moment was so precious to us since all of us played with Ichika-sama for an entire day. There are other moments too, like when Ichika-sama refuses to take a bath and runs around the mansion wanting us to chase him… I think that was more like trouble for us, but it was still fun.
The real trouble is when Ichika-sama got sick all of a sudden, we were beaten horribly by the Shinigami for allowing Ichika-sama to get sick… still Ichika-sama stopped it and said we weren't at fault…
Ichika-sama does request us to act as his hug pillows, sometimes several of us. We would surround him and warm him up so that he doesn't cry in the middle of the night looking for Izanami-sama.
Aside from us, there are many more benefactors inside the clan that Ichika-sama helped and they are all very much loyal to Ichika-sama.
But the last question? What does that mean? Anyway if that were to happen, we would make sure no harm comes to Ichika-sama.
I'mherepresent: We are one step away to the end; we have another question, this time from Jagi9x3:
1. What is your first thought about Ichika when you meet him for the first time and did you think he will be like the other Orimura girls?
2. Which do you prefer having a forbidding master and servant relationship or normal relationship?
3. Do all of Ichika's maids have the same feeling as you the way you feel to Ichika?
Yama: I'll take these.
At first, we already felt the defining traits Ichika-sama has and we were convinced that he will not be like his sisters, his aura after all bears no malice, even in the slightest. He's like an angel in the depths of hell.
Whatever relationship Ichika-sama can give us is fine and we would accept it without any complaints, even if he makes us his personal whores, we will embrace those roles and fill it with our utmost dedication. All of the servants feel the same way as us too, they could very well thrown themselves to the hellfire if Ichika so desired it.
But if you are talking about their feelings, it's pretty different; some are romantically viewing Ichika-sama while others respect him and love him like a little brother or as a kind leader.
I'mherepresent: Good, now this is the last question.
This is from Worldwanderer 2.0:
To Ichika's Maids:
Q: Aren't you loyal to Ichika? Don't you pledge your very lives to him? If so why do you work against his best interest and wellbeing by being at Izanami's beck and call? Why can't you all muster your love for your master and whatever courage you have left and defect over to his side? You don't have to run away now. Just wait until Ichika is away from Izanami's grasp and returns to ISA and then take that chance run away to his side? If you're at his side, you'll be safe and protected because even if Izanami and the aunts are mad at you four, they can't do much to you if you're at his side nor will they kill you without alerting or upsetting Ichika. Plus you can spill everything to Ichika about the secrets of the Orimura family and Izanami's schemes to him.
Sora: There are so many wrongs in this proposal.
First, even though Izanami-sama, Shizuka-sama and Minazuki-sama do love Ichika-sama, they won't hesitate to do what they need to do, especially if it involves betrayal. We already betrayed them once and we are at blade edge even now, if we do one more betrayal, our fate would be very gruesome that we are too afraid to contemplate it. If we defect now or any time later on, it won't bode any difference or change the situation.
Worst case scenario, Izanami-sama herself worst all three of them will personally deal with us and mobilize the entire Shinigami and the [Zenchi No]. They are not going to hold back on unleashing their powers.
I can easily imagine the genocide of Japan just from us defecting… the ire of the matriarchs are not to be trifled with.
Ichika-sama isn't going to be any help at all when the matriarchs go berserk, Ichika-sama can only appease them but as he is now, he can't stop them.
This clearly shows that you have no idea how powerful the matriarchs are… if you cross them… all hope will flee from you, even gods will forsake you and all you have to wait is a very gruesome end to your existence… that is exactly what happened to the rebel Orimura, even if they are comprised of powerful fighters they were wiped out quickly as soon as the matriarchs took the field.
But don't get me wrong, we are not abandoning Ichika-sama… we just can't risk ending our own lives by doing something stupid. We can't serve Ichika-sama if we are dead, so we need to do this for now, until Ichika-sama becomes strong enough…
I'mherepresent: I see… so the situation is this grave huh? I may have to get Ichika too… he is my ticket to survival when I interview the Orimura clan…
Anyway this is the end of the interview, thank for the time you four gave me.
Sora: Don't mention it and if you plan on leaving take this map to the underground pass so that you don't get ripped to shreds by the border and palace guards.
Umi: Farewell brave author.
Kazan: Bye, bye author!
Yama: Hope you survive.
I'mherepresent: Yes, I'm sure we will see each other again. Anyway I'm out of here.
Sora: Wait use this hatch that leads outside of Kyoto, you'll be 45% safe when you use this.
I'mherepresent: 45%... that's somehow reassuring… Anyway I'm off bye!
Interview End
End of interview no.4.
Need to get out of here… but sadly and tragically I will be coming back here soon to meet the monsters… geez my life…really! Anyway thank you for staying with me through this ordeal.
For the next one to be interviewed… it is… none other than… Ichika Orimura!
I had to pick him so that I can interview the Orimura clan later on without being killed, he is like my insurance.
Anyway for now, I'm out because I'm trying to flee from the Orimura territory.
