Gast Adler's Card story – Start line?

[kozvme]

 

Gast: Hello, Akira? What's up?

Akira: 「Gast! You...
Is it true you're meeting up with Will right now!?」

Gast: Ooh... You took the trouble to call just to ask me that?

Akira: 「I mean, as soon as we finished patrolling, Will said he was gonna meet up with you so...
I was so shook I thought I was dreaming, but... this is all true, right?」

Gast: I was surprised too when Will called, ya know. 
He said he there's something he wanted to ask me, but that he'd tell me the details when we meet.

Akira: 「Will wants to ask YOU something? Now, you've got me curious...」

Gast: If you wanna know what's going on, then ask the person themselves... Well, I'm 90% sure it's related to you, though.

Akira: 「Eeeh... Nah, leave that alone.
Who woulda thought you'd get along to this extent! You were at each other's throats, so I'm happy for you!
I still think half of this is a dream, but while at it, take this opportunity to get along more! ☆」

Gast: Haha, would be nice if that happened. I'll just be careful not to step on a weird land mine.



Will: ー You arrived first, Adler.

Gast: Y- Yeah... Ah, but I've only just gotten here, 'kay?
You returned from patrol, right, Will? Good work ♪

Will: ...... You too...

Gast: (Oooh... I've got a response...
Things were real bad if I think about how it was a while ago... This is an outrageous change...)

Uhm... So, what did you want to ask me?

Will: T- That's...

Gast: (... He looks like he's hesitating to tell me? Is it that serious?)

Did something happen to Akira?

Will: Akira?

Gast: Yeah. When you said you wanted to talk to me, I expected it to be about Akira...

Will: Wrong, that's not it... if anything, I'd rather not ask you for advice when it comes to Akira.

Gast: O- Oh, I see... thinking about it, that's logical.

Will: No... Forget what I just said. I shouldn't have put it like that... Sorry...
I called you here today because...
The thing I wanted to ask you...

Gast: W- What is it? Come at meー

Will: I want your... autograph, Adler.

Gast: ...... What, my... sign?

Will: That's right, your autograph.
Sign this T-shirt and plush with this penー

Gast: Wait, wait, wait... You're going in a completely unexpected direction, I don't quite get it?
You want my autograph? ... You, Will?

Will: Of course not... My little sisters wants it, not me.

Gast: S- Sisters?

Will: ... North hosted a sightseeing tour a while ago, right?
Do you know that the pictures of you the tourists took were posted on SNS?

Gast: Ahー... I think the guys kind of got in touch saying they saw them?

Will: They were a big hit that came with an article or something that said they met a cool and kind "hero"...
My little sisters, too... They saw those and became your fans...

Gast: Say whaa-!?

Will: Lately, when I visit home, you're all they talk about...
I was asked to get your autograph a while ago, but I turned them down all the time, but... my sisters are so cute, so...

Gast: So you refused...
Nevermind that. Can't deny I wasn't surprised, but this is awesome news. I'll gladly sign an autograph for them.
I should sign on this pink T-shirt and this teddy bear, right?

Will: ... Yes, please.



Gast: Is the T-shirt okay with this? Hah, I'm strangely nervous...
As for the teddy bear... Where should I write on this? This is quite hard, hmmー

Will: It seems you have more fans thanks to that sightseeing tour, huh?

Gast: Ahー I hear that a lot from time to time. Mostly from people outside New Million, though...
Compared to before, I feel like more people call out to me downtown too.

Will: ... Are you okay?

Gast: Eh? Okay... with what?

Will: It's just... It looked like a lot of women fawn over you so, don't let me spell it out for you...

Gast: Ah, haha... Right, I talked about it to you, too.
That sightseeing tour was pretty much targeted at female tourists and I experienced a lot of different things like that, so I do think I'm more tolerant than before.
But... to be frank, officially nothing's changed.

Will: Hmm...

Gast: Rather than just being sufficiently thoughtful, I want to properly be able to handle them?
Wait, that's right... Is there anything you keep in mind when coming across female fans?
This is a good opportunity, so please tell me what to make them happy or how to keep the proper distance. ♪

Will: Eeh... It's not like I'm good at handling women, though...
Shouldn't you ask Faith-kun for that kind of advice?

Gast: R- Right... I seeー

Female customer A: Excuse me~... You're HELIOS Gast Adler, aren't you?

Gast: Eh?

Female customer B: Uwaah, we were right! Aren't we super lucky to have met him at the same shop... in a café in South to boot!?

Gast: ???

Female customer A: We are your fans! If it's okay with you, please sign us an autograph!

Female customer B: Also shake hands with us, please! And, if possible, we'd also like to take pictures together. ♡

Gast: H... Huh... Wai... a se...

Female customer A: ? Are you alright...?

Gast: Kh... Well... that'sー

Will: Do you have anything he can sign on? Like a memo pad or a handkerchief...

Gast: ... Will?

Will: I will be the one taking your pictures, so please tell me how you'd like them: all 3 together or pictures of each of you with him?

Female customer A: Waah, is that okay? Thank you very much! ♪

Will: Come on, Adler. Leave the teddy bear to later, comply to these ladies.

Gast: ...! G- Got it!

Female customer A&B: Thank you very much~! We will continue rooting for youuu ♡

Gast: Phew~... I survived with zero damage...

Will: You really aren't used to this, huh.

Gast: Uuh... I dunno what would've happened if you weren't here, Will... Thanks a lot.

Will: ... I had to do something since you listened to my request.

Gast: (Ahaha... looks like Will still doesn't know how to act around me either.
But he's also trying hard to overcome his weakness...
Would be great if that were the case... ♪)
