... It's very nice, in Rusutsu. Being able to see Hokkaido is interesting, and others seem to be enjoying themselves...

It was a bit crowded there for a bit, though. Probably the initial rush for Golden Week vacationers.

At least this trip gives me time to think about how to start that.

Admittedly, it's wonderful scenery. Somewhat inspiring for perhaps working on our world.

Probably. At least it's off-season enough that it wasn't jam packed.

Starting what, exactly?

... I guess, if you want to look at it that way.

... I want to start off being a pro league manager, but I don't know where to start, other than scouting during tournaments or street duels.

First thing I'd suggest is making sure you have an office, even if its small, so you have "Cred", and you're not just disjointed and sloppy and stuff.

I actually have a small space already rented out.

Mostly because I need somewhere secure that isn't in a home to organize and work.

Well then, mostly I think you'd need to interview and ask people "Do you want a manager for pro league". Don't you have connections and shit?

I have plenty of connections. I work for the Pro Leagues themselves.

So you shouldn't have trouble getting them, you know, into matches, if you know people you can ask.

I think it's mostly scouting and getting your "Breakthrough" duelist. But that's just me.

It's mostly where to start.

It doesn't help that all of those duel gangs and people attacking others have been occurring, recently. It makes it harder to weed out all the ones causing trouble.

Well, you'll likely find a person.

And if there's anything I can do to help you, just ask.

... Wait until I can find someone myself, first. Then you may help.

Righto, ma'am.

... or whatever I should call ya.

"Ma'am" or "Umu" are both acceptable.

I feel weird when I call people by their actual names. Feels insultin'.

So. Ma'am will do.

Well, if you get to shape a world, you may as well make it pleasant to walk in, right? Maybe even a park that shifts from week to week, so you can keep visiting it and see new sights.

Ah, really? I know there've been a number of people looking for managers recently. And I think I've heard of a number of street duels... though those can get rather dangerous to be around.

Really, though, I'm just glad to see you relax and enjoy yourself. That walk the other day was really nice... we don't ever seem to spend time together like that.

I guess, but I think it's better to see sights for now, well... Without having shaped it, yourself.

Yes, I've heard. Those who go out of their way to do that aren't the kind that I would want to manage, myself.

That's because I'm usually busy. I've been trying to organize to start this off along with my normal pro league work.

Oh, I'm enjoying them. Some things are just better when you haven't shaped them yourself. Doesn't mean I don't occasionally think about how certain features would work back home, though.

Fair enough. I'd probably prefer you didn't head into the fray either. Still, there's lots of students and various people looking to at least try to get into the pros. I'm sure you'll find someone to start off with. Hell, maybe I could recommend you if I notice someone wondering about it.

Yeah. I can imagine how busy it gets. I do miss spending time with you, though.

... I think a park that changes every week might be over-doing it, though. |\;;;;;

... You could do that. It'd at least help.

Well, that's why I went ahead and dragged you around the city, wouldn't you think? |\;;;

It's not going to be the only feature. It just seems like a neat idea. It'd probably have to be fairly heavily forested, though. ...maybe useful as a source of lumber. Hmm.

I'd love to. In fact, I'd probably have several suggestions already... but something tells me you'd really rather find your first client on your own.

And I'm very glad you did. But it's hard to ~~molest~~ be romantic with you in public.

Yes, I would like to find my first one on my own. I can't really call myself a manager if I can't scout out someone on my own judgment.

... Well, I would rather you not be too "romantic" with me in public, regardless. |\;;

Fair enough. Just let me know when I can start throwing people at you, alright?

I know, I know. But you're so fun to be 'romantic' with~♥

I will. |\;

I'll just have to make sure to start carrying around a clip-board if you decide to be too "romantic" when we're seen together. |\;;; I love you, Erland, but I do like my personal space.

Good.

I respected your space during our walk, didn't I?

Yes, but I want to make sure you don't get ideas otherwise. |\;;;

You know I don't want to make you too uncomfortable, dear.

By the by, I'll probably have a few things I'd like to talk with you about sometime after we get back home, okay?

Mm? ... Alright. Just tell me when. |\;

Alright. But let's just try and make our last day here the best yet, alright?

... Alright. We will.

This place is kinda cold.

But the amusement park's kinda fun, Miss Lady Person.

... It'd most likely be warmer in the next month or so.

At least you seem to be enjoying yourself... Shinoko, right?

I guess that's nice. But I don't like it hot that much to be honest.

And yeah, Miss.

... What kind of temperature would you want, then?

Comfy. Not cold. Not hot. Just right.

... So... 25° Celsius?

Probably.

Then this would probably be the best month for it. Possibly in a couple weeks, perhaps.
