Me: It's that time again! Time for our-
Eisuke: Already?! We only just finished the last one.
Me: Eisuke, don't cut me off! Yes, it was such a big hit that everyone wanted more. I can't ignore the fans. You should be happy everyone loves you.
Eisuke: I don't need everyone swooning over me. All I need is Elli.
Elli: Eisuke... Shush. Don't embarrass me!
Me: C'mon, we went through this last time. Please TRY to cooperate this time. *shakes head*
Soryu: While I don't find this all that pleasurable I will try to cooperate. Some of the questions are intriguing.
Joelle: Oooh, is that your way of saying you like these interviews without actually saying so?
Soryu: ...
Soryu: No.
Joelle: Reeeaallly?
Soryu: Leave me alone. *turns away, blushing*
Me: Riight, anyway back to business, we have a special guest with us today.
Ariana: It's a pleasure to be here. You all look to be enjoying yourselves.
Me: Really we do? I'm sure I look more on the brink of a psychopath at the moment if you ask me. ...Oh, sorry! That was just a joke.
Elli: I think we better listen or she may kill us...
Eisuke: She doesn't scare me. Just because she runs these interviews doesn't make her my boss. Like she doesn't even have a name. Who calls themself 'Me'?
Ota: Maybe she forget her name and only knows how to address herself as 'Me.'
Soryu: It is an interesting speculation.
Me: Stop making fun of my name. I just want to interview you guys, *Cries*
Elli: That's enough you three. Stop making fun of 'Me!'
Eisuke: But we aren't making fun of you.
Elli: I never said you were making fun of me but that you were making fun of 'Me!'
Eisuke: Make up your mind. Are we making fun of you or not?
Elli: No you are not.
Eisuke: That's what I thought. We aren't making fun of you but we are making fun of 'Me.'
Ota: Wait, I thought we were making fun of 'Me' not you?
Me: ...
Me: ENOUGH! I am me and that is all there is to it. You guys are going to be the death of me.
Joelle: Guys, shhh, I don't want her to die before she finishes the interview.
Elli: Yeah. Shush!
Eisuke, Soryu and Ota: ...
Ariana: Ahaha, such a lively bunch.
Me: Let's get these questions underway. We have a lot to cover today. First question will go to Kat since she has been quietly sitting in the corner minding her own business.
Kat: What? I actually have a question?
Me: That's right! What would you do if Joelle got hit by a car?
Kat: Huh?! THAT is my question? Who in their right mind would ask me that... Am I really so bad that I deserve such a question...
Joelle: Kat... It's okay. It's just a hypothetical question. It's not going to happen. I'd like to know how you'd feel.
Kat: *Sigh* Fine. If Joelle got hit by a car I don't even know what I would do. I already lost one very important person in my life, losing another... I don't know if I would be able to handle it. I know I act like a complete dolt to everyone but Joelle is really important to me. I'd be devestated.
Joelle: Kat... I'm glad you feel that way.
Kat: Huh? Joelle, don't be getting all mushy on me now! Not in front of others. It's embarrassing. *blushes*
Me: Thank you for your answer. Now on to our next question. This one is for you Ariana.
Ariana: Sweet. I'm ready.
Me: Where were you when you when you were missing in the story?
Ariana: Uh, I don't really know. I was at my friends that one time. I am a really busy person. I'm always out and about trying to promote Tres Spades or in my room going through mountains of paperwork. I have to stay on my game to provide the best service possible. They are counting on me to help get their name out there.
Eisuke: I appreciate all your hard work. You have been a great help. Keep it up.
Ariana: Y-Yes! I will.
Me: I'm glad Tres Spades has someone as dependable as you. Alright, moving on. Next question goes to Joelle.
Eisuke: Why haven't I been asked anything yet? Surely someone such as myself should have the questions flooding in.
Elli: Eisuke, don't act so cocky. Just be patient. I'm sure you will get your turn.
Eisuke: Whatever.
Me: ...Ahem, Joelle, how do you feel about Elli living with Tres Spades? And with Eisuke?
Kat: What? Elli is? I didn't know this. She didn't even get my permission!
Joelle: Shhh, this isn't part of the story. You don't have to act so in character here.
Kat: ...Oh right. My bad.
Joelle: It was definitely a surprise! I didn't know what to think about it at first but then I realized how lucky she is to have the opportunity to live with them. I mean they are all crazy about her, she must have so much fun living with them.
Elli: I don't know about that...
Eisuke: Don't deny it. I know you do.
Joelle: But I was a little worried about her living with Eisuke. I've seen the way he looks at her. Elli seemed to believe in him though so I decided to trust him as well. I know he would never do anything to hurt her.
Eisuke: Just how do I look at her?
Joelle: Eh, I can't really explain...
Eisuke: Tell me.
Joelle: Sheesh. You are a jerk... If you really want to know then I'll tell you. I could see the passion burning in your eyes anytime they were on her, It was like your expression softened whenever she was in the picture. Watching closely, I could see just how much you desired her. ...Gosh, this is embarrassing. I'm not saying another word.
Eisuke: ...
Eisuke: I really looked like that? Don't be stupid.
Ota: But you did.
Ota: Ah, don't glare at me like that! I was just telling you the truth...
Eisuke: Elli sure is something. For me to be looking at her that way... She really is different to all the girls who just fawn over me because I'm rich amd sexy. I must have been attracted to her innocence, kindess and determination. And she was never afraid to stand up to me, that girl has guts. Plus, she is fun to tease.
Elli: ...Eisuke. Why do you insist on embarrassing me? I just want to run away...
Me: Why do things keep getting out of hand, siigh. C'mon guys! It's time for the next question. *Claps*
Everyone: !
Me: Now that I have your attention, this question is for Elli.
Eisuke: Still not me?!
Elli: Just wait your turn! Just because you are rich doesn't mean you should become before everyone else.
Eisuke: ...You are right. I'll wait. *Pouts*
Me: Elli, If Eisuke wasn't in the picture whom do you think would win your heart?
Elli: Huh. I never really thought about it. I only think about Eisuke so... I mean! Pretend you never heard that!
Eisuke: *Snickers*
Elli: Stop laughing! Hmmph. Hmm, I'd probably say Soryu. He is really sweet. I know he seems really cold and unfriendly but under all that is a warmhearted man who is shy.
Soryu: Huh? You would actually pick me if It wasn't for Eisuke? ...Damn it, If only I acted faster I might have had a chance.
Eisuke: So you are saying Soryu is my rival for your affection?
Elli: Well, yes. But I already chose you so you don't have to worry.
Eisuke: That doesn't matter. Soryu is a guy and he is also around you all the time. I won't let my gaurd down.
Soryu: Do you not trust me?
Eisuke: ...
Eisuke: I do. I know how you feel but she is mine. ...I'm sorry. There is many things I'd give you without a second thought but Elli isn't one of them.
Soryu: I know. You are a good friend. My feelings for her won't just disappear but I hope you are happy with her.
Elli: Uh, guys...? We aren't even together yet so stop acting like we are.
Eisuke: It's not important if we are or aren't. We all know you are already mine.
Elli: Hmmph... Guess I can't deny that.
Me: Moving on. Soryu I have recieved an anonymous letter addressed to you. The question asks 'Will You Marry Me?'
Soryu: *Blinks in disbelief*
Elli: I think Soryu is...scared? He's frozen stiff.
Eisuke: Soryu? *pokes* Hurry up and answer. I know it's an inane question but you need to answer it.
Soryu: How do I answer it? I don't know who I'm replying to.
Ota: Good thing Baba ain't here or he might have some witty reply to make.
Eisuke: Now that you mention it, where is Baba or Mamoru?
Elli: Unfortunately, they don't play such a significant role in the story so they don't appear unless specifically asked a question.
Eisuke: I see. Does that mean Soryu and Ota are important?
Elli: Looks like it.
Ota: YES! I'm important! ...I mean, yay.
Soryu: How do I answer...
Joelle: Soryu, It's okay if you say no. I mean I would if someone anonymously asked me out of the blue. How can I get married to the unknown?
Ariana: She does have a point.
Everyone: *Nods*
Soryu: Hmm... But how can I honestly answer when I don't know who is asking.
Eisuke: Just say no already! It is obviously a joke question. You aren't meant to take it seriously!
Soryu: Really? Why didn't you say so sooner. Then my answer is yes.
Everyone: ?!
Ota: Soryu...?
Eisuke: Huh?
Elli: What just happened?
Joelle: Soryu manages to surprise everyone once again.
Soryu: *Shrugs* If it's only a joke I thought I'd pick the answer everyone least expected. How does it go...jokes on you?
Eisuke: Soryu... Why do you never cease to surprise me.
Me: Haha, thanks Soryu. I needed that. Okay, now it's time for Eisuke!
Eisuke: Finally.
Elli: You make it sound like you actually enjoy this.
Eisuke: What?! ...Don't be ludicrous.
Me: Eisuke, what would you do to make Elli happy?
Eisuke: I'd do anything she wanted as long as it's reasonable. Money is no obstacle. Knowing Elli, though, she would probably be happy by just spending time with me. I do think a nice gift here and there is also acceptable. It also can't hurt to surprise her occasionally. I always want to see her smiling, so I will do whatever it takes to ensure that.
Elli: Eisuke...Sniff...
Eisuke: What did I say last time? Don't cry here...
Elli: Sorry. I'll try not to.
Me: I have another question for you, Eisuke.
Eisuke: Another already? Is this your way of making it up to me for asking me so late?
Me: No. You just got so much more than the rest I wanted the others to feel special too.
Eisuke: ...Well I can't help being popular.
Ota: Does that mean I don't have any questions this time...?
Me: I'm afraid not.
Ota: What... I...I just want to go cry in a corner now. How can everyone forget about me. I mean I ship Eisuke and Elli after all, so why am I not more loved...? *sniff* I need more chocolate cake...
Me: Uhhh... He didn't take that too well.
Eisuke: Don't worry about him. He will be fine.
Me: I guess so. Your next question, what would you do if Elli was kidnapped?
Eisuke: How dare anyone kidnap her! I'd find the kidnapper and murder them!
Elli: Calm down! You won't be murdering any body. Please be more rational with your answer.
Eisuke: I got a little carried away. Sorry. I would set out looking for her immediately. I wouldn't rest until I knew she was safe. I'd have all the guys looking with me. I'd get the whole damn country searching for her if I had to. By the time I'm through, the kidnapper will regret the day he laid hands on my Elli.
Me: Aww, you really do love her.
Joelle: He really does. That murderous glint in his eyes... If there is one thing we should never do, it is that we should never mess with the girl he loves or their will be hell to pay.
Elli: Joelle... How can you say that with such a bright smile on your face?
Joelle: I'm smiling? I guess I never noticed. Oops.
Elli: You scare me sometimes...
Me: You all scare me! ...I mean, I'm glad to see you are all being more cooperative. I never thought it'd happen.
Soryu: These interviews aren't so bad.
Eisuke: I agree. They can be interesting and Insightful.
Elli: Sooo, you really do like it?
Eisuke and Soryu: ...
Eisuke: Just shut up. *looks away*
Soryu: No comment.
Ariana: Wow. They really are stubborn.
Kat: You can say that again.
Joelle: Ahaha. They are always like this it seems.
Ota: They are! They can never be honest with their feelings. Always got to cover it up some how. Deep down they are big softies. ...Eep! Don't kill me! I'm sorry! I'll keep my mouth shut, just stop looking at me like that! ...Whew. I really am living dangerously. I must have a death wish...
Elli: Haha, poor Ota. Don't worry. We all love you too much to want to kill you.
Ota: Really? Do you mean that?
Elli: Of course.
Ota: Then why are you smiling at me like you are thirsting for my blood? ...You guys are all the same! I can't take your creepy smiles!
Elli: Ota? ...He just ran off.
Eisuke: Maybe we went a little too far.
Soryu: Nah. He can't take a joke. He needs to lighten up and stop being a spoil sport as he says.
Elli: Soryu... Sometimes I think you are the cruelest one of us all. And you manage it without even changing expressions.
Eisuke: It's his fierce demeanor that makes him so scary.
Joelle: I can see that. But Elli is right. I can also see the kindess underneath that.
Soryu: ...
Me: Sheesh, you guys never stop talking. I am meant to host this and yet you guys are running the show!
Elli: Sorry. They just love to talk. I guess you'll just have to put up with it.
Eisuke: That's right. These chats are quite enjoyable. I don't mind coming to more interviews if we can chat amongst ourselves too.
Soryu: I agree. It's not often we get to bond like this. I like these discussions we engage in.
Me: Sigh... I guess it can't be helped if it means you cooperate with me. Well, I'm afraid that is all we have time for today. I still have some left over questions but it will have to wait until next time.
Elli: Woo. I can't wait!
Me: Thank you for joining us today, Ariana.
Ariana: Thank you for inviting me.
Me: If you have a question you would like to ask, be sure to write into the comments. And be sure to read the story and comment and like on the chapters! A lot of work goes in to each one of them and I would be grateful for all your support. Seeing your comments makes every chapter feel worth it at the end of the day and brings a smile to my face. I always look forward to hearing from you. I hope you continue to enjoy the story. I'll do my best to continue making the story enjoyable. I hope by doing these interviews it will help you all become more involved with the story and characters.
Eisuke: Heh. Look at her now. Shamelessly advertising herself.
Elli: But it means more people reading our story. Isn't that good?
Soryu: I don't care either way...
Joelle: Yes you do. You just don't want to admit it.
Soryu: ...
Elli: Thank you everyone for following the story and watching Eisuke's and my relationship develop!
Eisuke: ...Yeah, what she said.
Me: Aww, thanks guys. Until next time then. I hope you all enjoyed the show!
