１１❣❣ ａ ｎｅｗ ｈｅｒｏ ｈａｓ ａｒｒｉｖｅｄ

[gandere]

✘ VIDEO;

Hello everyone! [ Not only is Rin Tohsaka cheerful, but she's got a strange outfit on. Yes, those are cat ears. ] Kaleido-Ruby here to inform you that everything is going to be alright! I'm going to go kill all of the monsters that invade these lands and bring back enough Anemoi for everyone to remember! There's one thing you have to remember though in return!

[ Just going to wink at the camera now. ]

I'm the cutest hero you've ever seen! Time to go save the day!!

[ After that video call, "Kaleido-Ruby" can be found making wild proclamations of justice throughout the streets, as well as arguing with her weapon. Don't worry, her weapon talks back. Often with wittier remarks than the girl herself. ]

[After all of that, Shirou has one -- and exactly one -- thing to say.]

What.

[gandere]

I'm a hero, Shirou! [ Duh. ] Don't worry, I'll keep you safe!

[wontdieifkilled]

Tohsaka...can you at least tell me what's going on here?

[gandere]

[ Holding up the Kaleidostick. ]

I received an important magical artifact from back home and now I have the power to fight!

[wontdieifkilled]

But...you've always had power to fight. And this...is not how you normally act.

[gandere]

Of course not! If I acted as though I normally do, it'd give away my secret identity. [ Her eyes widen slightly. ] Shirou, you're not allowed to tell!

[wontdieifkilled]

Uh...sure, but I...honestly don't think it's that hard to figure out. Even with the personality 180.

[gandere]

[ ... ]

Really?

[wontdieifkilled]

Well, I mean, your face isn't hidden. At all.

[gandere]

So what?

[ Not getting it. ]

[wontdieifkilled]

...So people can still recognize you by looking at your face.

[gandere]

...

Well, maybe I want them to know after all! It's part of my genius plan to be a super-heroine that is modest!

[wontdieifkilled]

...You're backpedaling now, you know.

[gandere]

[ Warning: Real Rin is starting to seep out. ]

Shut up, Shirou.

[wontdieifkilled]

...Huh?

[This switching back and forth is taking its toll on him.]

[gandere]

Allow me to recruit you as my sidekick! The shiroulrous Shirou!

[wontdieifkilled]

Whoa, whoa, hey! I'm already part of the Justice League!

[gandere]

W-What?

[wontdieifkilled]

...Come on, you've heard of the Justice League, right? It's the city's band of superheroes.

[gandere]

Not even my own boyfriend wants to be my sidekick...

Rin-chan, have you considered just being a solo hero? [ Suddenly there's a manlier voice. Is it coming from the stick? Spoilers: Yes. ] You don't need a boy.

[wontdieifkilled]

Th-that's not...

...

...What was that.

[gandere]

That was Ruby.

Hello Shirou. It's been some time since we've seen each other. [ There's a pause to let that sink in. ] Or maybe that was a different Shirou. You all look and act the same.

H-Hey, quit talking to him and instead tell me how to recruit a sidekick!

[wontdieifkilled]

WHOA! Whoa whoa whoa! Back it up just a bit!

[Did he notice that the Kaleidostick seems to have its memories?]

...That staff talks?!

[gandere]

Of course I can talk.

[ Rin is just going to shake it a bit to try to get it's attention once more. ]

[wontdieifkilled]

And what was that about multiple mes?
