[Cloche has some things to think about. That man from the Malnosso said that they were able to go home.

Home.

The word sent shivers down her spine. If she were to go home, even for a day and even if it were to revert back to how it was when she left... maybe she'd be able to see everyone again. She missed everyone.

The only problem with that was her current predicament if she were to bring someone back: she was currently unable to do much, thanks to Hibernation nearly knocking her on her butt. Every so often she'd still feel the repercussions from that even here, though they were lessened. Just general days of lethargy and wanting to sleep a lot, nothing too noticeable. Not until Luca sang Implanta, right? Would that happen if she went back? Would she see how things would go? How much could be done in a day? She wasn't restricted as much as she had been before, but what could they even do? She'd have to rest afterward, or at least be told as much.

One of the bigger problems was the fact that she wasn't sure if, since she'd been in Luceti for more than a few months now, she would need more Diquility to keep alive. That would be an awkward situation!

But she knew of at least two who had mentioned they were curious about Dives. About her world. Here, at least, she was treated like a normal person. Sasha was one of the few who treated her as such in Metafalss. What would happen if she brought someone back? Would their attitude toward her change? That... was a depressing thought. Maybe she had some thinking to do. About what to do, what she should even say, what... well, how this would all work out.]

[So for now, Cloche is sitting in the plaza, of course bundled up in warm clothes due to the weather, thinking about... well, everything.

Surprise her though, and you may get a quick burst of Song Magic in your face, just a warning!]

[kamiyandisease]

Is that right? [It's a little better than volts of electricity... Touma will hops back up and sit beside her.] About what? Maybe there's something that I can do to help.

[implanta]

It's... about what that Malnosso man said. About going home.

[kamiyandisease]

Oh, yeah... I remember that. It's sounds like a fun deal, but I'm still a little uneasy about it.

[implanta]

I'm not sure what I want to do, or what I should do, I guess. I want to go home, but then I don't know, especially if someone else is supposed to go with me.

[kamiyandisease]

Eh? Um... I wouldn't mind coming along. I don't know how bad things are, but I'm already used to seeing wars.

[implanta]

W-well, that was the problem. Everyone is... well, they're gone. When I left, they had left me to find something.

[kamiyandisease]

.... Eh? You don't know what it is specifically?

[implanta]

I do. I couldn't go with them.

[kamiyandisease]

Haaah... This is really troubling. On my end, I wouldn't mind going home... But I don't think I would want it to last for a day. No, it shouldn't last for a day.

I've already got too many people that I need to bow my head too.

[implanta]

Bow... your head to? [She's not sure she understands...]

But beyond that, would it be too little of a time to show someone what your world is like?

[kamiyandisease]

Hmmm.... I'm not sure if it would take an entire day to show someone what the Acedemy City is like, but if we hit the main spots... Then Kamijou-san could easily manage it!

[implanta]

[She's thinking about it, remembering what he's told her before about his home.] Is it really green?

[kamiyandisease]

Huh? Well... We do have plenty of parks if that's what you're looking for.

[implanta]

[Her point.







His head.

But that's all right. That's the Touma she knows, after all. Cloche will laugh at little, and just sort of... halfway nod.]

Sort of.

[kamiyandisease]

What else would you want to see?

[implanta]

Hm... [Well, anything green and pretty would be like seeing Metafalica for her :|a Let her think for a moment.]

The... ocean. It's called that right? Or, well, anything that's a lot of water.

[kamiyandisease]

We've got aquariums! But... [Waaaait a minute.] Huh? The ocean? You mean the entire ocean?

[implanta]

A...quariums? What's that? [And now a frown. But it's not really a frown frown, more like how a kid would frown with a pout mixed in. Her request is not crazy or anything! So she thinks.] Of course the entire ocean! What else would there be? There's one here but I can't really see a lot of it.

[kamiyandisease]

An aquarium is a place that stores fishes and other sea life for others to see in tanks. They're popular places that you can take friends and family. [ffff he's finding that really cute, but he'll be keeping that comment to himself.]

... Cloche-san. It would next to impossible to show you the entire ocean since it makes more three-fourths of the Earth! You would have to get on an airplane and fly around the world if you wanna see it all!

[implanta]

Those sorts of places exist? They really keep fish and anything else that lives in the ocean there?

[Waaaait.] Fine, just part of it! The one that isn't here! The one that's here is inadequate. [There's an all-knowing nod after that.]

[kamiyandisease]

That's right! You end up learning a lot about animal life in the ocean. We've got whales, seals, otters, penguins, sharks... I couldn't possibly name them all.

[That gets an eyebrow raise.] Aren't all beaches the same...? It's been a while since I've taken someone to the beach, so I wouldn't mind. Having a fun vacation would probably do us both some good.

[implanta]

[Hearing about the aquarium is getting Cloche wide-eyed. That sounds AMAZING and she could only wish that a place like that existed in Metafalss! All those animals... she wants to take them all home, precious. She'll forget about the beach -- for the moment -- to take that in.

It's not until it really sinks in that her response comes.]

All beaches aren't the same. The one here is boring. You can't even really keep exploring it, it's blocked off by the barrier! I should be able to see as much as I can, not be blocked by a stupid barrier!

[kamiyandisease]

[Now that he thinks about it, it's almost like dealing with Index in a way. He admires her determination, but at the same time... He's siiighing at her lack of common sense.]

... You would need to get a ship if want to explore that much of the ocean. Cloche-san... Do you even know what a sailing ship is?

[implanta]

I don't. We don't have those in Metafalss.

[kamiyandisease]

Ships are basically vehicles that are used to move across bodies of water. Nowadays, they're expensive to buy.
