Kuro: He~llo, everyone~!…☆

Souma: ……

Kuro: Hm? Oh, Kanzaki. You sure got here early. What’s up? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

Souma: Umm. Errr. It is because you used a strange tone to greet me. Is the person in front of me truly you, Kiryu-dono?

Kuro: I'd be pretty surprised if there was someone else who looked this much like me.
Real sorry about that. I got a job at a TV show, so ‘m practicing right now.

Souma: Oh, that is to be celebrated! I do not normally watch any "terevision"…but if it is a show Kiryu-dono is in, then that is another story entirely!
I must investigate on how to record things. If it is anything related to electronics, it would be best to ask Yuuki-dono.

Kuro: Oh? Looks like you’re getting along with your classmates. What do you guys chat abotut?

Souma: Nothing special in particular. Yuuki-dono is very knowledgeable about electronics, and will sometimes teach me how to use the “compuuta”...
Recently he has been teaching me how to use a “sumartophone.”
And I have imparted some thoughts on martial arts to Yuuki-dono. This sort of cultural exchange has been most interesting ♪

Kuro: That so? My job this time kinda feels like it’s from a different culture too, so I don’t really know what to do. It’s a headache.

Souma: Hm. Are you troubled because of your work, Kiryu-dono? You could discuss it with me, if you would like. I may be able to offer suggestions.
I have always been under your care, Kiryu-dono…even though something this small can hardly be counted as repayment, I would still like to help.

Kuro: It’s not really anything that serious. This job doesn’t really suit me is all.
The director said they offered me the job after seeing the drama I was in. I didn’t look at the contents properly before I accepted it, so it’s my bad, really.

Souma: Ah, was it the “TV dorama” where you played a teacher, Kiryu-dono? (1)
In the drama, I remember their murmuring would immediately cease once you cast them a single glance.

Kuro: No, I didn’t actually mean to glare at anyone. But in the end that’s the impression it gave the audience, huh.
My role was a man of few words, so I just had to act like myself…the director that time even praised me, saying it felt like the role had been made for me.
But what I don't get is why someone would watch that performance and then ask me to be the big brother-type host in a kids' show. It sure is a mystery.
The director for this time even said I seemed like someone kids would like…but in reality, I'm someone kids fear and hate.

Souma: There is no such thing. There are many people who like and respect you, Kiryu-dono.

Kuro: Haha, thanks. At any rate, I have to work with kids for this job…but they’ll probably take one look at me and start crying.
If something like that really happened it’d be pretty hard for the show to go on. I might ruin the whole thing.
What should I do? Maybe it’d be better for me to drop the job, but I’d leave a bad impression if I rejected the job after having already agreed to it.
Besides, it’s not like I don’t want to do it.

Souma: In that case, you should accept the job…that is what I think.
I too am always frightening others, so I understand you completely, Kiryu-dono.
However it is not children I am frightening, but adults…or perhaps I should say my peers.

Kuro: It’s probably the katana. I bet you’d stop looking scary if you lost the sword.

Souma: No, this sword is akin to my very soul. Besides, I possess a government permit that allows me to bring my sword with me wherever I go.
But let us not speak of this for now. I can ask my younger brother what sort of people he likes to be close to. Perhaps that will bring some sort of inspiration.

Kuro: Ohh, thank you. I was actually trying to imitate some of the hosts on kids’ shows too.
I was doing it when I greeted you too…but you just wound up staring at me all shocked.

Souma: You were doing it for that reason? I apologize! My reaction was far too impolite!

Kuro: No, anyone who knew how I usually am would’ve probably done the same thing.
After all, my heart was going “what am I even doing” the whole time I was greeting you.
This isn't a TV drama, so it's fine even if I don't give it my all. But honestly, it’s hard for me to get a grasp on these kinda things.

(1) Probably a Tough Guy reference. The sequel nobody saw coming.
