Unlock with: R [The Suspicious Teacup] Mithra



[Dining Room]

Mithra: ......

Sage: Um...Mithra?

(For some reason, his face is very close...)

Mithra: ....Huh.

Sage: (Just now, he sniffed me....?)

Um...Mithra, what are you doing here?

Mithra: Nothing in particular. I have some free time, so I might go and kill Oz now.

Sage: Uh.

Mithra: What are you so shocked about?

Sage: (His face is...serious.)

(What do I do? Of course, as things are it’ll…)

I-if you haven’t got anything else to do, why don’t we have a chat over a cup of tea?

Mithra: Chat?

Sage: Yes. Actually, I’ve been thinking that I wanted to have a proper talk with you, Mithra.

Is that all right?

Mithra: Ahh, I understand.

Sage: Great, I’ll pour some tea right away.

Sorry I made you wait. Now, I’ll pour the black tea into the teacup and...could you wait a second, Mithra.

Mithra: For what?

Sage: Don’t drink it directly from the pot!

Mithra: Why? It’s all the same once it’s in your stomach.

Sage: If you just drink it directly, it’ll burn you, plus it’s easier to drink when it’s in a cup. Now, I’ll pour your share into the teacup, Mithra.

Mithra: Ahh...you really do some tiresome things.

Sage: Why wouldn’t you drink it out of a cup?

Mithra: I’ve never thought about it. Even if you put it in a cup, the taste is going to be the same.

Sage: (He’s so airheaded, he’s more like a kitten than a beast.)

I’m sure it’ll be easier to drink using a teacup, so if you want, please just try it.

Mithra: ...Thanks, I will.

Sage: (Oh, my...I’m surprised that he drank it so obediently. Somehow, it feels like watching a child grow up before my eyes…)
