Difficult? Not at all! Why? Do your siblings give you trouble~?

I suppose we'll have to find out, won't we? And since you've already said you'd agree, I think this means we should spar very soon! Maybe I have a few tricks up my sleeve that will surprise you.♪ And I will, I promise. You're right about learning all kinds of things from someone in combat anyway.

But I know I can keep it! There are still many things I don't know about you, and it makes me wary to assume anything about you, apart from what you've already told me... Can you believe that, at least?

[useable]

I was wondering if that is why you had mentioned that younger siblings are difficult. They are the family you are in contact with almost everyday, after all. And by difficult, I mean does your Master worry over his younger sibling often. I've come across her once and she seems to act quite mature for her age.

Telling me that you have a few tricks will only let me expect them~ You should be careful what you say to me, housekeeper.

Well, I suppose you've given me no reason not to believe that you would keep your promises so... Alright. I trust you.

I know many other families...! The children of the staff I oversee, and the people I see out on the streets. Milady has had to grow up too quickly, with everything that's happened and her desire to help her brother, but we try to make sure she gets a chance to have fun when she can.

Maybe I'm putting you through more of a mind game than you think, Harbinger~ But as long as you have fun, I'll consider all outcomes a win.

Thank you.♪ All bets are off in the arena though!

[useable]

Ah. What sort of fun things do you get into?

Please, you don't need to worry whether I'm having fun or not~ You should worry instead on whether you can hold your own while fighting with me.

Recently, I've learned about beetle fighting. And I find things like exercise and sparring genuinely fun, although perhaps not on the same level you do. Cooking, too! It's always nice to see new recipes work out or taste something new and unusual. And when the merchant ships come through, I love seeing what they've brought for sale. Apple cider from Mondstadt is a very good alternative to dandelion wine, in my opinion.

Worry about yourself, sir.♪ I look forward to pinning you down at least once.

Beetle fighting... How does that work? Do you fight each other in order to find beetles out in the wilderness?

[ not like there are any beetles where he's from, so. ]

Haha~ It would be an incredible feat if you're able to pin me down.

[callouses]

Ah, not quite but it's great fun! Some people like going out and finding the biggest beetles, other people actually prefer the fighting aspect. But the beetles are fighting on your behalf~

Will you give me a reward if I do?

[useable]

The beetles are fighting on your behalf? That doesn't sound as fun as actually fighting for yourself. I'll have to check out these battles of the beetles one of these days.

What kind of reward would you request?

[callouses]

Let me know! I know one of the local enthusiasts for beetle fighting, so I can introduce you to him.

Telling you's no fun! You can't know yet, otherwise it won't be as meaningful when I actually ask. The way you react will be more genuine that way~

[useable]

Oh, an enthusiast, you say? Is he also the undefeated champion for beetle fighting?

I see... Well I may never find out what it is since you'd have to pin me down first. It would be quite the challenge for you.

[callouses]

Hardly. He... ah. It's a little difficult to explain, but he's an oni who has a way of worming his way into your heart as your "bro". Sometimes I get an overwhelming urge to let him win just so I can keep him from pouting, heh.

If you're that curious, I'll tell you if I'm unable to pin you down. Is that a compromise to your liking?

[useable]

Ah. So is that how you see this oni? As someone that resides in your heart, that you call... bro? It would be bad practice to allow someone to win just to stop them from pouting. I hope that you'll never show me such mercy.

That sounds fine with me~

[callouses]

Someone that resides in my heart... that sounds more romantic than anything! But yes, I do care about him. He means well, even if he has a very clumsy way of doing things.

I know you better than that! And I'd like to avoid your honest ire if I can.

Until our fight, then.♪
