Billy Wise's Card story – How to Housesit

[kozvme]

 

Billy: ーIt's been about 1 week since we came back from the cruise Red South citizens were invited to.
For some reason, only the ship we boarded was a pirate ship, and our costumes resembled those of pirates, too...
And to top it all, we were spooked by a ghost ship and it turned into a battle against ghost pirates!
A lot of stuff happened, but it was an emocionante voyage, I was so stoked from go to whoa.
The citizens who participated were also pleased, so we accomplished our original objective, too ☆
By the end of the cruise, we were told they'd stay positive and do their best until things went back to normal, with Red South reconstruction and all.
That made me think the most important thing is that we were able to make them feel a bit betterー



As the one who proposed this cruise, Asch-paisen appears to be filled with a feeling of accomplishment, too.
It's hard to understand, but it seems that he personally had a lot of fun. It seems he's also a bit sad that the voyage is over...
The citizens who got excited over the arm wrestling tournament told Paisen they became his fans because of this voyage.
And thanks to them saying they'll keep rooting for him while firmly shaking his hand, I could see Paisen with tears in his eyesー

Asch: Tears in my eyes, my ass!
What the heck have you been up to, anyway? Blabbering about stuff I don't get...
I could hear everything. Can't ya be a lil' bit quieter!?

Billy: But I have too much free time on my hands!!!!!

Asch: Haah!?

Billy: It's a day off, but I don't have any plans...
I was looking at the pictures we took during the cruise and kinda felt like monologuing.

Asch: That ain't makin' any sense...

Billy: You don't have to understand. I'm just playing by myself, so leave me be.

Asch: You're loud, that's what I'm tryina tell you. Even if you want to play by yourself, don't bother other people.

Billy: Uuh~...

(ーOkay then, I'll start monologuing from here.
Today isn't just my day off, it's the others', too.
Gray went back home and Jay's off too but seems busy as usual. 
It looks like only Paisen and I have no plans, so today the two of us are housesitting...
On second thought, Paisen and I aren't usually by ourselves, so it kind of feels strange.
No, it has happened before, I think. Maybe I'm weirdly conscious because a lot of stuff happened during the cruiseー)

Asch: Anyway, why are you here?

Billy: Huh?

Asch: It's a day off. So why are you vegging out here?

Billy: I mean, I'm vegging out because it's a day off...

Asch: You usually go out in the morning on your days off, you don't idle in your hammock.

Billy: That's because until recently I ran around doing my job as an informant. Time is money, so every second counted~
Well, that still hasn't changed, but now I choose my jobs...

Asch: ... Heh.

Billy: Still, you knew how I spend my days off, Paisen, huh.

Asch: Wh...
We live in the same apartment, and considering how microscopic it is, I'd notice even if I didn't want to. 's not like I'm interested in you or anything.

Billy: Nfufu, you're not honest as always~♪

Asch: Kh, you littleー

Billy: Ah!! Hey, are you hungry, Paisen?
It seems that Jay made curry again and said to warm it and eat it if hungry.
I was about to have lunch, so, if that's okay with you, let's eat together ♪

Asch: ... Ain't eating that.
Didn't I tell ya I'm not interested in commoners' food? Even more if it's the curry the old man made...

Billy: Gee~ Paisen... You know you won't get anything even if you say nasty things, you know?

Asch: Tch, shut up. Really, shut up...

Billy: Huh, where are you going?

Asch: Back to my room. I want out of here...
You're loud and the room is gonna stink of curry soon, right? Then I better go back to my room.

Billy: Eeeh~...
Aaand he's gone...



Bon appétit!

(... Yup, Jay's curry is really good. ♪
How long has it been since I ate someone's home cooking like this?
Well, the only thing I ate was dad's food.
Which means since dad was hospitalized, so... Woah, it's been a while while!
... This is so good, is Paisen really not gonna eat it?
...... To be honest, I was a bit happy to share the same space.
Just a while ago he fled at the sight of me...
If we think about it in this way, should I consider it making progress...? Suddenly getting closer to each other might be a bit too much, though.
Yep, yep. No wonder Paisen was shocked, I acted like his buddy out of the blue!
He acted like he usually does, so I guess I'm a bit relieved?)

Oh, I already finished. It was so good, so time simply flew...
Hehehe... There's still a lot left, so might as well have some more~♪



Asch: Oi, you're talking to yourself a bit too much.

Billy: !! Paisen...
W- When did you... I mean, what is it?

Asch: Just came to throw the trash.

Billy: Aah, were you cleaning?

Asch: The old man isn't around, so now's my chance. When he's around he never stops asking "what's that" or "what should I do" and I never make any progress.
I also cleaned thoroughly his space, kuku...

Billy: Waoh! I'll clean too later!
I've managed to do something even with Gray around, but... I'm itching to keep things neat the way I like it~ ♪

Asch: Hmpf, do what you want...

Billy: Nihihi ♪ Right, you're also a clean freak, Paisen. Wanna clean up the house thoroughly together, then?

Asch: ...... Haah?

Billy: I feel like this living room will also be worth cleaning. That hammock was slightly covered with dust, wasn't it~?

Asch: ......

Billy: Even if you say no, I'll do it by myself, soー

Asch: Fine.

Billy: Huh?

Asch: If we're gonna do it, then we go for broke. It's all or nothing.
Also, the bathroom is my turf. I have no intention of giving it over.

Billy: !!

Asch: But before that, cleaning made me hungry... Arrange my portion of curry.

Billy: !!!!!
Gotcha! Your wish is my command, Captain Asch-paisen ☆
