| Guy | .... |
| Izumi | (Guy-san isn’t an android....) |
| (Of course that’s the reasonable answer, but all sorts of strange things happen here, so I thought it wouldn’t be that strange if he really were an android....) |
| Guy | .... |
| Izumi | (When you look at him like this, he does seem human, but he’s just so expressionless....) |
| |
| Tsumugi | He’s not an android...? |
| Tasuku | Well, I guess that’s the reasonable answer, but.... |
| Izumi | Somehow I just believed that he was an android. |
| Azuma | I thought that was fine, since it would’ve been more interesting that way. But it seems like he dreams. |
| Androids don’t dream, right? |
| Izumi | That’s true.... |
| Tasuku | Then why does he claim he’s an android...? |
| Tsumugi | Citron-kun said he was an android, too.... |
| Izumi | Hmm.... |
| Azuma | Well, it might be a bug, just as he said. |
| Hisoka | ...I don’t get it. |
| Homare | Then why don’t we try investigating! To discover whether or not he’s truly human! |
| |
| Tasuku | ...Will this really tell us whether or not he’s human? |
| Homare | Now now, just watch. Let’s see how he responds. |
| Hisoka-kun, commence operation A! |
| Hisoka | ...What a pain. |
| Homare | Come on, just go. You are the only one who can hide your presence—the only one who can perform this task. |
| Hisoka | ...Sigh. |
| Guy | .... |
| Hisoka | .... |
| Homare | Good, he’s right behind him. |
| Tasuku | He doesn’t seem to notice. |
| Homare | He is an absolute professional at hiding his presence. He always surprises me from behind by stealing bags of marshmallows out of nowhere. |
| Hisoka | ...Wah. |
| Guy | ...Is something wrong, Mikage? |
| Homare | What an underwhelming surprise. |
| Tasuku | You chose the wrong guy. |
| Tsumugi | Well, I think most people would be surprised if someone silently creeped up on them and suddenly talked to them from behind like that. |
| Azuma | His expression didn’t even budge. |
| Homare | Hm... Then let’s move on to plan B, Hisoka-kun! |
| Guy | If it’s nothing, I’m going to leave, but.... |
| Hisoka | ...You can have this. |
| Guy | A marshmallow? No, I don’t need.... |
| Hisoka | ...Eat it. |
| Guy | All right. |
| Tsumugi | Will he be surprised? |
| Homare | Most people would think it’s a normal marshmallow, so. |
| The moment he eats it, he’ll grimace from the taste of wasabi spreading through his mouth. |
| I didn’t expect the wasabi-flavored marshmallows I bought to come in handy like this. |
| Azuma | Hisoka wouldn’t eat them, so they were just lying around and causing us trouble. |
| Guy | ...Omnom. |
| Hisoka | .... |
| Guy | ...Do I keep eating? |
| Hisoka | ...You can have them all. |
| Homare | His face didn’t even budge.... |
| Izumi | Most people would be surprised.... |
| Tasuku | As of now, you could convince me either way—human or android. |
| Homare | Hmm.... |
| Manager | Ah, Guy-san, good timing! |
| Guy | Do you have business with me? |
| Manager | Guy-san, can you write letters like a computer? |
| Guy | I have every font built-in, so yes. |
| Manager | Wonderful! I’d like you to help me write out some addresses.... |
| Guy | I don’t mind. |
| .... |
| Manager | Ooh! Amazing, your letters are exemplary! |
| Izumi | Maybe he is an android after all.... |
| Homare | It just became more likely. |
| Guy | ——. |
| Manager | Is something wrong? |
| Guy | I can’t write this kanji. |
| Manager | Naha? |
| Tsumugi | Maybe he can’t handle difficult kanji? |
| Homare | It might not be included in his fonts. |
| Tasuku | That's so half-finished, it can’t be. |
| Azuma | If you think about it rationally, he probably can’t write difficult kanji because he hasn’t learned them. |
| Izumi | I see.... |
| Tasuku | But isn’t he too good at speaking for that to be true? |
| Izumi | You’re right. Compared to Citron-kun, his speech is completely natural. |
| Tsumugi | But he only said that the latest version is compatible with three languages; he never said he learned them. |
| Tasuku | His functions are too half-finished for them to be part of an installed program, and if he learned them, it’s strange how he won’t say that he learned them. |
| Izumi | Maybe he’s lying or joking about being an android...? |
| Hisoka | ...I think he’s serious. |
| Tasuku | Then it’s even more of a mystery. |
| Tsumugi | I can’t figure it out. |
| Homare | Maybe he simply believes he’s an android? |
| Izumi | Believes...? |
| Tasuku | But can you learn a language simply by believing it’s been installed? |
| Izumi | You can’t.... |
| Tsumugi | Maybe he could always speak it? |
| Tasuku | He could always speak it—do you mean he learned it before he believed he was an android, or that he’s lived in this country? |
| Homare | But doesn’t that contradict the idea that he’s an android? |
| Hisoka | ...Maybe he lost his memories. |
| ...That empty feeling after you’ve lost your memories is really scary. |
| I remembered my own name, but if I hadn’t even remembered that and someone told me I was an android, I might have believed them. |
| Tsumugi | Does that mean he lived in this country before he lost his memories? |
| Izumi | Citron-kun said he was with Guy-san since he was little, so even before that.... |
| Azuma | When android-san was a child, maybe? |
| Homare | That explains why he can’t write difficult kanji. He can only understand kanji that children have learned. |
| Well, this is all just a hypothesis, but.... |
| Izumi | You’re right.... |
| Tsumugi | ...In any case, regardless of whether he’s an android or a human, Guy-san is Guy-san. Let’s treat him like we always do. |
| Homare | You’re right. Even if he’s just a temporary member, he’s a part of Winter Troupe. So no matter who he is, I have no objections. |
| Hisoka | ...Yes. |
| Azuma | Even if we did know, it’s not like anything would change. |
| Tasuku | You’re right. |
| Izumi | (He’s right; no matter who he is, Guy-san won’t change.) |
| (Either way, we still need to do something about Guy-san’s acting....) |
| (I hope we can find a good solution....) |
