That is a constant decision-making process, is it not? And you, my good sir?

That is a constant decision-making process, is it not? And you, my good sir?

Same. Everyday is a struggle for me since I'm wavering between happy and not happy. Happy that I am appreciate with warmth, good food, cloth on my back, clean water, and friendly company. Not Happy as I'm trying to improve myself both as an artist and as a human being but impatient to see a lack of growth.

[ainsoph9]

As the title of the book says, "Happiness Is a Choice," which means that you can actually embrace your struggles and find happiness in them.

"You guys never slept last night right? How come you are back at work? And for both of you to arrive together...... Come to think of it you two are wearing the same clothe----- Oh my...... Don't tell me the two of you finally?"

"Wait a minute!"

"What do you mean by 'oh my'? And what do you mean by that 'finally'? Please don't do that, adding non-existent suspicions onto me! Whatever you are thinking, they did not happen!"

"Huh----

But think about it? Normally something does happen. To spend the entire night together, the conversation dies off. Then a sudden silence comes around, and raising you head you noticed that the other person is looking at you as well. Tiredness and sleepiness washes away your rationality, and yet the thoughts that you wanted to control gradually------"

"No! I don't have such thoughts! And what is with that romantic tone!?"

"By the time you realize it, the two of you reached your hands out. The entangled fingers as if trying to understand each other's thoughts, and finally both sides opens up their lips simultaneously------"

"Ahhhh------!"

"And say 'Wanna play Monster Hunter?' ."

......

[ainsoph9]

Ok, I know that I know that conversation from somewhere, but I cannot remember where at the moment.

[Mystes]

Was it in Haganai?

[ShadowZeroHeart]

Was it in Haganai?

Nope, it was from the novel talking about software engineers? Which is the reason they worked the entire night through. Just as they are about to sleep, the chairperson of their company took an impossible job for them, thus they had to go back to work again.

From the same novel:

" Please be kinder to them. This is the client's company afterall, please don't glare at everyone like this."

"I am not glaring, I am just very sleepy.

I didnt sleep for the entire night, and is tired to even speak, if I relax just one tiny bit I would fall asleep, and so tries my best to open my eyes, yet you are reprimanding such a hardworking person. To tell me to not open my eyes too wide, nor close them, to maintain them in the center region, and that you would beat me up if they are mispositioned by even a single millimeter."

"No, no one said such a thing!?"

"Hmph, I got it, I got it already. You are telling me to let my eyes look more gentle right. Don't frown, and relax at the ends(of my eyes)."

She widens her tiny nose, and takes a breathe.

Relaxes her eyelids.

"Huuu."

She actually fell asleep!

And

"Yup, to put it simply, even if it is a DQN like company that hires us, be it legally and in terms of identity, it is the best. Even if it is this type of DQN company that hires us, it is already considered good for us to be able to work in our own company, You must be aware of this, and work hard, and cannot always complain about the company."

"......I will keep it in mind."

"(Chairperson) Hey-----? Can I give you another job? The deadline is within today."

"...... This company can just close down."

"Aren't you contradicting yourself!?"

Today's SE common knowledge Point 3,4:
3 - Compared to informal workers, formal workers are more stable in terms of legalness and identity.
4 - Even so, things that makes one angry still makes us angry!

I don't walk in front for I may not lead
I don't walk in your back for I may not follow
For a true friend is the one who walk besides you for he is the one who walks in when others walks out

From Ladies X Butler, two very interesting quotes:

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Oh my~~ Love beyond identity/status sure is great! Sensei almost cried several times while reading it~!"

By that useless acting principal.

The next quote is also by that same person:

"No, it is a story about school life. The setting is a renowned boy's school, the hot development between the protagonist and his childhood friend, and student president sure is great."

A short few lines taken directly from the novel itself:

Spoiler! :

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Oh my~~ Love beyond identity/status sure is great! Sensei almost cried several times while reading it~!"

"Oh? If it is so interesting, let me read it next time. But...... Is it a love story or some sci-fic literature?"

"No, it is a story about school life. The setting is a renowned boy's school, the hot development between the protagonist and his childhood friend, and student president sure is great."

......That's weird, just listening to this sentence, its nothing, but associated with what she said earlier, then something seems amiss.

Protagonist brings young witch to school, and classmates creates a scene, with some unusual terms popping out.

Hearing some of these terms, the young ignorant witch, Mira asks the protagonist
[The below is from the novel]

"What is a lolicon?"

"That isn't something that you should know~~ Okay, get back to your seat~~"

I used a smile to chase Mira away. Mira can't seem to accept it, with an unwillingly look on her face, she reluctantly returns to her seat.

Just as Mira sat down on her seat, our teacher appeared in the classroom. This teacher always talk to us from our perspective, his friendliness is his charm. After noticing the new student, he kindly called her name.

"You must be Mira-san? I have heard about your situation. Are you in any way troubled, or have any questions?"

"Lolicon."

Time froze.

The teacher calmly nods, and his eyes sweeps across the students in the classroom.

"So then, person-on-duty, make the call."

Stand------ Greet, sit.

"Okay, everyone open up your textbooks......"

......He seems to have decided to pretend as though he heard nothing.

I glanced towards my back, and found Mira with pouting. She is clearly illustrating her unhappiness: "You were the one asking if I 'have any questions', why won't you answer me?"

A novel about broadcasts, and here's an extract from a live broadcast in it:

"In recent years, due to warming facilities being available everywhere, so there are mosquitoes around even in winter."

"Ah~ Yes indeed, the mosquitoes appearing during strange times are all the more deadly."

"Indeed indeed. I was bitten on the leg by a mosquito once, and it became red and swollen instantly."

"Woah~ It sure sounds itchy."

"Because it was just too itchy, so I tried a spell to stop the itch."

"Oh, you mean to draw a cross on the spot where you were bitten with your nails or something like that?"

"Yeah, I used my nails to write the words 'bishoujo'[meaning beauty] on it."

"Just how big a patch were bitten on you! If it is so swollen that you can write the words 'bishoujo', then you really should go to the hospital!"

"As a result, only that leg became a bishoujo!"

"Wow~ How beautiful...... Hey, how can such a thing be possible!"

"As a result, after doing that spell, that patch swelled even more."

"Probably because of the external excitement being too great."

"............To swell up due to the excitement by biahoujo, it sounds a little horny?"

"Please don't make such perverse things during the warming up of the show!"

A quote of irony, the characters stumble into a room of animals that broke free from their cages, in a greenish environment, that left them in awe:

Miiko stepped on the bugs crawling on the floor, and followed the path walking on.

At this moment where all types of life were singing praises of life, only the humans were dead.

Yet in the eyes of man, they would see such a world as an ideal scene------

Other than ironic, there is probably no word to describe this.

A strong quote, that might you to know the story to really feel it.

"------ Have you all not feared enough?"

Daisuke's voice, placed itself upon the cries of unhappiness through the wireless radio

"Be it towards your own 'Mushi', or the 'Mushi' of others, you all must have suffered all kinds of pains and sufferings. To be tormented for becoming a Host, saddened and pained, and been through all kinds of situations. You guys had enough, and are sick of these right?"

Daisuke places his arms around his chest, putting up a standing posture.

Even in this situation surrounded by worms, he can still clearly recall it all.

The things that happened when he came a Host.

After becoming a Host, the battles, the injuries, and the days he struggled through to keep surviving.

Not just Daisuke. It is the same for everyone.

"One of the reasons why we became like this, is just before us."

The uneasy emotions slowly disappeared from the wireless radio.

"Now------ is the time to be angry."

Someone roared.

It was not a voice Daisuke knows. Perhaps it is a member of Central, below rank 3.

Yet that angry roar, infected all other Hosts there------

"------!"

The roars stacked up.

The sounds of the Hosts shook the earth, and stunned the worms coming at them.

There may perhaps be crying mixed within.

Everyone there------ No, as long as they are a Host, they would feel the same about those cries from the heart, and resonate.

Just as their morale hits the top------

The curtains are lifted.

Chilia's voice, became the signal for their retaliation.

"------Found him! Two kilometers from here, to the SouthWest! There is a small 'flame' reaction by the moving worms!"

Everyone on that isolated isle looked in the same direction.

Daisuke makes a strong leap, and lands in front of the combatants.

With that, he raises his knuckles, shining with the light of the Gekkou bug that fused with him, at the white worm army.

"All members------"

Daisuke's attack, crushed all the worms in sight.

"Go!"

The anger suppressed within the Hosts for so long------

Unleashed.
