[ how many times is Souji going to be surprised in this thread... he can't help it. the amusement comes back FULL THROTTLE in the form of a startled laugh. ]
You know who I am and you still want to be friends with me? You really are a funny kid.
A bad person, huh... [ technically mary isn't wrong at all, but most people don't say this out loud in front of Souji's face!!! ] You called me famous, but what exactly do you know about me?
[ probably not the conversation to have when Mary sounds that sick tbh but he's Curious ]
[ okay the first and second part were expected (he's not even being egotistical about the 'best sword fighter' part honest) but the name that's cut off mid-cough startles him. Most people don't know the name of the small rural dojo the Shinsengumi originated from. what the heck mary. looks like souji still doesn't know that people from the future Know about the Shinsengumi... ]
Sousei-san, huh. ...He does sound like the type who'd expect his students to remember every unnecessary detail. [ Whatever actual concerns Souji has about Sousei's weird hobbies is hidden by his shithead tone... as usual ] I bet it's hard to learn from such a strict, fussy tutor.
[ who apparently stalks the shinsengumi and teaches smol teens about them?? sousei... ]
That's not a bad thing, but shouldn't a kid like you learn useful things?
[ not that he doesn't think the Shinsengumi is important, but Mary's not the sort of person that comes to mind when he thinks of people who'd be interested in them ]
Haha, I'm relieved to hear that. Then, as friends, it's only natural that we get to play together.
[ """play""" who's the real child between mary and souji ]
Not right now since you sound pretty sick, but maybe on a day when you get tutored by Sousei-san. But instead of getting tutored, you can just hang out with me instead.
No way, I'm sure he'd understand! And if not, then he'll get over it.
[ will Souji actually try to spirit Mary away mid-tutor session...... He sounds dead serious now, but who knows what this fickle child will do in the future. ]
Either way, it's a promise. Let's hang out in the future, okay?

... I do remember everything, though. I just thought, as someone who's... um, now friends with you, I should say sorry...

[ he pauses. he should tell her to SLEEP but ]
Who told you about Shiekan?
voice;
Sousei-san did... well, there was a book he had me read, too. He's been tutoring me.
[ Because one doesn't get a whole lot of education when you live in a house in the forest for a Very Long Time. ]

You're learning just about everything, huh. [ hmmmmm ] Hey, Mary-chan, you said we're friends right? And you definitely meant it?

Alright. I'll let you know when I'm free then. [ because he's really that busy??? no he isn't. ]
You should rest. Only kids don't know how to take care of themselves, you know.
[ and you're not a kid right??? mary??? ]

[ Don't sound so sulky, Mary. ]
