"Say Conrad... Do you have any other defects besides your jokes being cold?" <ref>When a joke falls flat, instead of hearing crickets, the temperature drops... (Probably because you get the chills, cuz the joke is so bad). 
</ref>

"Defects?  I have tons of defects"

"If you say it so happily is because you're being modest... I've never seen any of them up until now, so you're probably being sarcastic, huh?

"Come to think of it, when I was a kid, I was not very good at swimming"

"Ehhh~, swimming? That's unexpected. I would have never thought you had any problems with sports." 

"Once, my mom gave me a special training. That so called special training, involved me being tied up hanging from a tree, then I would be dipped into a lake and then pulled back up. It was quite unique."

"Ra... Rather than special training , wasn't that just torture?"

"Indeed, at the time, I thought it was too much but thanks to that I was absolutely no longer bad at swimming."

"Later, the maid-mer princess<ref>Quick reminder: Conrad fell in love with a maid-mer princess, so a princess with a fish head and torso; who was human from the waist down. </ref> that I fell in love with, thanked my mother."

"F.. fell? In love? With a maid-mer princess? ... You know? From the three brothers, you're the one that resembles Cherie-sama the most.

"Me? And my mother? No way. In what sort of way do we resemble each other?"
