"Ne..."
"Hmm?"
"Why did you come out today?"
"I had nothing better to do."
"Is that so?"
"It is."
"Really?"
"You're really annoying today, aren't you?"
"I'm just excited."
"You and Takamichi-sensei went all out, didn't you?"
"Eh? Um, no, it was just all flash and bang."
"Uh huh."
"So you never gave me a full response."
"About what?"
"Why you came out."
"I had nothing better to do."
"You keep saying that but I know you're actually interested."
"Brat."
"That computer you have. Are you watching everything on it as well?"
"Sort of."
"Hey, there's a minimized thing here."
"Hey, don't touch that!"
"What kind of game is this?"
"It's another RPG. I doubt you'd be much interested in it, considering you need to keep focused on the tournament."
"Um, well..."
"Fine, here. This is your character, the Prince of the Netherworld. With him are his "Loyal" Vassals, Etna and Flonne."
"So you're playing as a demon? That's different. Most games you play as a hero."
"A lot of them are like that. But Laharl is different. He's the son of King Krechevskoy, the former ruler of the Netherworld. I'm deep into Episode 12 right now."
"Ehhhh! What is with that attack?"
"So I'm at level 3000. So what?"
"That's more than the game you showed me. I wonder if we could become that strong."
"I doubt it. Humans can only get so strong you know."
"But still, I like that Overlord's Wrath. Hmm..."
"You're such a KID, taken in by the big explosive techniques."
"Hey, you threw that poor Penguin into the enemy and it blew up!"
"Duh, Prinnies are good when you run out of SP and need a chance to slow people down."
"Prinny?"
"Prinnies in this game are penguin-like shells, housing the souls of sinners. When they atone for their sins, they are brought to the afterlife by Death during the Red Moon."
"No kidding?"
"Of course it's just a game but if you take the idea literally, you could probably find someone who'd believe in it."
"Expendable Explosive Soldiers. Sounds interesting."
"Heh. In any case, the next match is starting up. I'd better minimize it for now."
"I didn't know you could play games like this on computers."
"One word; Emulator."
