[In the midst of his reading (which, by the way, he's actually finding this really interesting so far- not in a way he would have expected it to), he hears his door being knocked on once more. ...is something going on today that he's not aware of? Whatever the case is, he slips in a little bookmark on the page he was on, and walks to the door, opening it.

...well, this was...highly surprising. He didn't expect to see Kirino return to his door, looking at the ground like that. But just seeing her come back made him...smile. A little bit more than he did when she dropped the package.

...ah, right, that still doesn't exactly answer what he's thinking right now.]

...hello there, Kirino, I have to say...thank you for the gift. The read is quite...interesting, I will say, and the art style for the comics with the magical girls is quite captivating.

...although, why are you here? I assumed you just wanted to give me that present.

[Oh... he's actually reading it, and he said it's interesting so far!! She looks up at him when he says that, and she's smiling now too.]

R...right? The style is so good, and just wait until you get into more of the story! I want to hear all about it once you're done.

[She nods to herself, content with that answer she gave, and then just... stares at him when he asks what she's doing here.]

Isn't it obvious? I.... I changed my mind. I was going to just drop it off, but I... wanted to read together.

[She shifts her weight from on leg to another, suddenly feeling flustered again. It was never this bad with her brother, even though she really adored sharing these kinds of things with him too.]

Is that so wrong?

[...huh? What did she just say right now...read it with him? His eyes widen a bit at what she just said- and in fact...he...seemed to appreciate the thought of spending more time with this girl. In fact, she seems...a lot more nicer now that he was spending more time. Is this...her way of opening up to him? ...he'll have to wait and figure that out when the time comes. But for now...]

...it'd be a pleasure to read this with you. After all...I'd...like to hear what you have to say on it as well.

[...he seemed a little flustered in saying that, as well. Why is it that this girl is eliciting such a response like this from him...? ...whatever the case is, he'll move from the door and let her in.]

...shall we, Kirino...?

[It's strange, isn't it? At first she was willing to trust him, in fact she might have hated him for a while, but she's learned that he's a good guy. Way too good, actually, even though he is rather awkward. He wouldn't hurt her purposely or anything, there was that one time he grabbed her, but... looking back on it, yeah, this type of guy she needs to be a little bit more... open with.

The thought scares her, actually, being far more open with someone that isn't Ayase but she feels as though he won't mock her. In fact, even with her brother she's still far too closed off, doesn't speak her mind at all, and with her friends from school she's not able to be herself and share her love for otaku-related things.

Still, he's never judged her so...]

Yeah! Alright so, how far have you gotten?

[She trots inside, obviously making herself at home already and she goes over and jumps on to his bed. She grabs the book, getting comfortable and she opens it.]

Oho~! This part! Wasn't the fight scene before this great? It was really well drawn, a lot of detail!

[...this girl seriously was too different now that he saw her in this sort of light. But...it's still making him feel a bit more content on the inside that she's willing to be this way around someone as closed off to other people as he was. In fact...he was really starting to come to like her more and more as time progressed in this place. ...would he be able to open up to her more, as well?

...he never really thought about it much to begin with. The only other person he was really open with was Asahi, but Asahi is...Asahi. But with this girl, he feels as though he can be...different, in a way, different from his typical "stone face" exterior he always puts up. He'd...like to try and be different around her, to show how he truly felt about things...

...ah, right, the book. He closed to door after she came in, and sat down on the bed right beside her, looking at the page she had just opened up to.]

Ah, that one. [He nodded a bit.] Yes, the fight scene had a lot of detail to it, and I appreciated the time the artist put into it. It made the scene much more enjoyable.

But it makes me wonder how the story will further progress, after all. It seems simple enough for a basic storyline...

[She's really different after all, someone that's far too tsundere for her own good, pretty much all tsun. But she's realized something as well, that this guy really does have more issues opening himself up than she does. Or perhaps, they're both at the same level.

Either way, when he sits down beside her she scoots closer to him, offering him to be the one to hold the book.]

Take it, it's better to be the one to hold it and experience it for yourself, I'm just here as support.

[but she frowns a little.] And it's not basic!

[...ah, right, he should be the one to hold it for himself, after all. After taking the comic from her, he does frown a bit at what she has to say.]

So far it has been. Although, I would like to be proven wrong to see what else the writer would do to surprise me. But...I suppose I'll have to see in the next issues, right?

[Of course, he's only teasing when he says this, but he'll scooch a bit closer to her as well, allowing her to see what they're reading, after all.]

...although, I do like to hear what your input on this so far.

[...Nnn.... this guy!!!

But... fine. She huffs a little at what he says, but then just... leans in a little, looking at the pages. Like this however, they're forced to touch, their arms grazing against one another, their shoulders touching. She feels a little flustered from that too, but she'll get through this!!]

Hmph... just come to appreciate it and there won't be any problems. Either way, this part- [he points to one of the magical girls.] She's fighting her friend, but... she doesn't know it's her friend at all. Her memories were erased- but that kind of information isn't revealed until several issues later. Let's just say, in this series everything isn't as it first appears to be.

[also that was spoilers, you're welcome.]

[WOW, THANKS KIRINO, THERE'S SUCH A THING AS ASKING SOMEONE IF THEY WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING BEFORE IT HAPPENS. But he'll just...shrug it off either way. He wants to just read this peacefully, either way- plus...being close to her like this was definitely making him a little flustered as well, but nothing too bad that he can't handle.

...but it still feels nice, being close to her like this. Aaah, right right, comics.]

Is that so? ...then that is certainly something that I definitely would not have expected from something like this. ...I suppose it adds a layer of sadness to the story as well, which helps progress the character development. ...hm~. I see, you actually gave me a little bit more of a perspective on this now.

[Yup, he's actually...talking about the series now?! ...Oh no. Not Giorno...]

[She'll get him addicted soon, totally!! She nods enthusiastically.]

Okay, keep reading! It seriously gets so much better.

[She scans the pages as well as they go along, so eager to add comments here and there.]

[With a small nod, he keeps on reading, being amazed with the fight sequences, adding his own comments here and there between him reading this.

Eventually, after being done with the first issue, he moved to the second one, eventually coming to understand the plot more.]

...it seems as though I was wrong- this storyline isn't quite as simple as I thought it would be...

[Oho!! What a good boy, he's come to understand the greatness of it. She beams at him, and then just goes off in her own little world about all of this.]

Right? Right?! Uwaahh~ they're so adorable and everything too! But then, then you learn about their backstories and see how well planned out their personalities are and everything becomes that much better!

You have good opinions Giorno! Much better than most!

[...ah, right...he still has to learn a lot more about this series as time progresses on, won't he...? ...still, he'll turn her head to her slowly, offering her a little bit of a smile...my, she...no, he shouldn't think like that at a moment like this.]

...thank you, by the way. For...being here with me...and reading this alongside me. It really does bring joy to my heart...

Nn..

[That kind of comment, he often says stuff like that and in turn it makes her flush. She was going to yell at him again, call him disgusting, but then she just glanced away from him.]

...w...whatever, it's not a big deal or anything. I just wanted to, okay...?

[...that was surprising, he was certainly expecting something along the lines of "you idiot, don't say something like that-!" ...or at least, that's how it went in his mind. But right now it was...different, in a way. Was she...really changing that much from how he viewed her in the past? ...maybe so.]

...then I won't think nothing of it at this point. After all...this is what friends do for each other, correct?

[normally she would have reacted as such, yelling at him and all that, but she just... didn't want to right now, actually. it was weird, how this all ended up developing, but she can't say she hates it entirely either.]

You're such a sappy guy. But... I guess that's just how you are.

[but she's not denying what he's saying at least.]

[...ok, something definitely was going on- he was sure she would've snapped at him once more but...ah, maybe he should be content with this for now...is this her true colors showing...?]

...hm. I suppose I won't think much of that statement, but...I suppose it is how I am, after all.

[..and he's not denying this, either.]

[She shrugs, wanting to change the topic here it seems.]

Come on, let's keep reading.

[It's not like he wanted to really read more into this conversation, either way.]

...ah...this is... [He swallows a bit.] ...this may be one of the best things I've read in a while.

[oh. perhaps it's because they're so close and such, her arm touching against his, that he might feel the effects of her charm.

It's relaxing him at least.]

Oohh~! Perfect, that's a good thing to say!

[Ah...he actually is feeling a bit more...relaxed for some reason. He shakes his head a bit...wow, what? He hadn't been like this before...]

...A-Ah...right, the book...hm...

[It's hard to focus when you're relaxed like Giorno is...]

[Not like she realizes she's using her charm here either, okay.]

...What's with you all of a sudden?

It's nothing, I just...felt this sudden relaxation. I'm sure it'll pass by...

[After shaking his head, he continued reading on- but...wow, he hadn't felt this relaxed in a while...]

[...right.]

I.... oh. Maybe it was my ability. Sorry, I must have started using it without really knowing.

[charm and all that.]

[...he totally forgot that other people had abilities too- but then again...]

...I suppose that ability...fits you in the end. Ah, no. That's not it...hm.

[Sorry- he's at a loss of words.]
