A Walk on the Wild Side - Chapter 6: Building That Relationship - Episode 4

The conversation between Vira and Tyre proceeds smoothly. When a monster shows up and they are able to fend off the threat together, the distance between them closes. In his sheer joy, Tyre blurts out vernacular that may as well have come from the mouths of the bros. Vira, hater of all things playboy, transforms into Psycho Vira MK II and goes on the offensive.

---

Tyre: Here I go!

Lowain: Ty goin' in for the killer greeting! Jumpstart her nurturing instincts! Tickle 'em if you have to!

Elsam: You can do it, Ty! We'll be cheering you on!

Tomoi: Dudes, we're toast if Vira spots us. We'd better find a bush to hide in pronto!

If things go according to their simulation, despite being unkempt, Tyre shouldn't give off too much of a negative impression.

Having had the bros turn his hair into a ruffled mess beforehand, Tyre is ready to call out to Vira.

Elsam: Whew... I'm gettin' the willies already...

Tomoi: So if Ty messes this up, maybe he can, like, blame it on a bad hair day?

Lowain: Nah, I don't see that happening. I bet Ty's gonna be so smooth that she'll be swoonin'.

Elsam: Yeah, what Lowain said. No way is Vira gonna just flip out outta the blue.

Tomoi: It's no longer in our hands. All we can do is sit tight.

The trio keeps watch as Tyre tries to open his mouth.

Tyre: V-V-Vi!

All Three: (Tongue-tied already?)

Elsam: C'mon, Ty...

Tyre: V-V-Vi!

Vira: Weren't you a student at Albion?

Tyre: ...!

Vira: Is something the matter? Your clothes are all disheveled.

Tyre: Erm, well!

Vira: Haha, a vacation is no excuse to not take care of yourself. Here, stand still.

Vira straightens out his untidy hair and rumpled clothing.

All Three: Duuuude!

Tomoi: Holy... Whack a moley...

Elsam: Dang, Tommy! You need to chill! But wait, is this even for real?

Lowain: Sure is... I wasn't sure how it'd turn out, but I guess reality's just funkier than fantasy.

Tyre: How embarrassing on my part... I am so sorry to trouble you... Aah, thank you so much! Bless y—

Vira: Careless dress code is a sign of careless character. I advise you to exercise caution.

Tyre: O-of course! My apologies!

Vira: As long as you understand.

Tyre and Vira then walk shoulder to shoulder on their way back to the Grandcypher.

Vira: So what did you do today?

Tyre: Er, well! I-I went on a walk...

Vira: And that took up your entire day?

Tyre: Ahem! Not quite! I had lunch at a cafe, and... and then cookies, and...

Vira: Calm down and speak clearly. Any trained knight should be able to relay a report efficiently.

Tyre: My sincerest apologies! I met up with Tsubasa at a cafe for lunch, then I made my way over to a coffeehouse to have a look at Lunalu's latest work...

Tyre: And just a bit earlier, I visited a cookie shop with Jeanne—she wanted to purchase some of them for (Captain)!

Taking the bros' advice in earnest, Tyre is careful not to make any mention of them.

Vira: I see. It sounds like you really enjoyed the day off.

Lowain: Whoa, whoa, whoa... This ain't how we pictured it, but... you know...

Elsam: Pretty rad the way it's going!

All Three: Radibadical!

Lowain: Bwahahaha! Wasn't easy gettin' here, but this is total wowsers!

Tomoi: Ty's still a bit stiff, but I'd say he pulled off what he set out to do.

Elsam: Aww yeah, just look at how long the conversation's been goin'! Crazy sense of accomplishment I'm feelin'!

Lowain: Word. Just goes to show Ty was simply too full of butterflies the whole time.

Something most unexpected presents itself as the bros chat in the shadows.

Fleeing Resident: Eep! A m-monster!

All Three: ...!

Monster: Groaaar!

Fleeing Resident: Help!

Elsam: What the... This f'real?

Tomoi: Dude, that popped up outta nowhere! How'd a monster get into town!

Lowain: Ain't no time for chatter, bros!

Vira: C'mon, Tyre!

Tyre: Yes! We must take action! Let us quell the disturbance and protect the people of this town!

Tyre: Die, monster!

Monster: Brgwaaah!

Tyre: Waaaargh!

Tyre's furious display of mettle puts the rampaging monster in its place rather quickly.

Tyre: Huff... Huff...

Monster: Graahh...

Elsam: Dang, Ty... I knew Vira was totes strong, but...

Tomoi: That was tight... When Ty's got his game on, he's a beast...

Tyre: Vira, please tell me you're not hurt.

Vira: I'm fine. You appear to be injured however.

Tyre: Tis but a scratch. I was a second too slow in dodging its attack... A shame I'll have to bear.

Vira: I must say... You fought marvelously against such a potent monster.

Vira: It is thanks to your efforts that I am unharmed and damage to the town is minimal.

Vira: I was worried when I saw you lazing about earlier, but you've proven that you can hold it together when it counts.

Tyre: I only did what comes naturally to any skyfarer.

Tyre: In fact I am deeply sorry that you had to get involved at all.

Vira: You said it yourself. Standing up to threats is only natural for a skyfarer.

Tyre: Just as...

Vira: Just as?

Tyre: Just as it is only natural for me to safeguard someone I hold in such high esteem.

Vira: ...

Tyre: I regret not doing a better job of it...

All Three: (He said it!)

Lowain: Dude, Ty! You totally pulled through!

Lowain: I know it's watered down from our fantasy, but maybe that's the right way to go about it!

Lowain: So Ty just, like, gave it to Vira straight-up about how he's got mad respect for her!

Elsam: Aww man... My heart's aflutter just watchin'...

Tomoi: Ty... Rockin' it like a champ...

Although Tyre is honest with his feelings for Vira, her reaction is somewhat unexpected.

Vira: Sigh...

Vira: What a thing to say right after battling a monster.

Vira: Tending to your wound should come first. They might have something we can use in that house. Wait here.

Tyre: Ah... O-okay...

Vira: Thank you for the medicine and bandages. This will be of great help.

Fleeing Resident: No, I'm the one who should be saying thank you. Who'd have thought such a hideous monster would show up...

Fleeing Resident: If you could please relay our thanks to your friend as well. Truly the entire town was moved by his bravery!

Vira: ...

Vira: I will. Gladly.

Vira provides Tyre with first aid, and they continue on the road back to the Grandcypher.

Vira: You're still unsteady. I'll lend you a shoulder. Here, put your weight on me.

Tyre: B-but that would be...

Vira: I don't mind. Consider it an order from a commanding officer.

Tyre: V-very well!

Vira leans in to the injured Tyre. From behind, they almost look like a couple.

Elsam: Ty... my dude! Sniff... You don't know how happy this makes me...

Tomoi: Sure went way beyond a greeting...

Lowain: Cut it out with the waterworks, man... We ain't in the clear yet.

Tomoi: Wait, how d'ya think Ty's takin' it? I know he's actin' all calm, but I bet his heart's racin' inside!

Lowain: Bwahahaha! Dude, any guy would be doin' cartwheels at a time like this!

Vira: Tyre, are you still in pain?

Tyre: N-not at all! I-I-I'm perfectly fine!

Vira: Tyre, as your senior in the military academy, I look highly upon the fighting prowess you demonstrated earlier.

Vira: Is there anything at all I can do for you? If it's something within my means, I'll gladly oblige.

Tyre: O-o-oh my... You are too kind!

Vira: There is no need to hesitate. It's about time I made up for never having done anything for you as your senior.

Tyre: Erm! Well! In that case...

Tyre: If there are any texts you recommend I peruse in order to enhance my skyfaring mastery, please do let me know!

Vira: Is that what you'd like? Very well then. We can go to my favorite bookstore together next time.

Tyre: Y-you mean like a...

All Three: A date!

Lowain: Duuude! Ty actually scored a date with Vira!

Elsam: I'm so hyped; my palms won't stop sweating!

Tomoi: And off they go... Ty, what a boss...

Tyre: I-it would be the greatest honor to have you accompany me to a bookstore! Ah, I lack the proper words to show my appreciation!

Tyre: (My fellow bros! Thank you so much! Your sublime teachings served me well!)

Vira: Oh, it's just a small favor really. When would be a good time for you?

Tyre: Our next day off would be the perfect time, dudette!

Vira: Huh?

Vira takes on a completely different tone, her voice cold as ice.

Vira: I've definitely heard that revolting vernacular before... Many times, in fact...

Tyre: Ah, er, V-Vira?

Lowain: Uh-oh! Did he just mess things up? Man, Vira's like a bloodhound!

Vira: ...!

Vira: I thought I sensed something afoot... You seemed much too different from your usual self.

Vira: I should've known you three were behind it all!

All Three: ...!

Vira: How dare you stalk me from the shadows...

Smoke begins to rise from Vira's body, giving form to—

???: Squishy-clink!

All Three: Holy Luminiera!

Lowain: That supposed to be her Luminiera form?

Korwa: It's the MK II model!

All Three: Korwie!

Korwa: So it's finally come into its own...

Lowain: Wait up, Korwie! Whaddya mean by MK II?

Korwa: It's a machine that's further evolved to fulfill its purpose of wiping the skies of all playboys... Otherwise known as...

Korwa: Adaptable Anti-Playboy Awsum Sauce Combat Gear Mecha Psycho Vira MK II!

All Three: Adaptable Anti-Playboy Awsum Sauce Combat Gear Mecha Psycho Vira MK II?

Elsam: Like, dudes, why's the name so long!

Korwa: As people can only hold so much hate against playboys, the overflowing resentment was too great to be contained and gave birth to this terrifying weapon...

Psycho Vira MK II: Searching... for... targets...

Tomoi: Is it Vira who's controllin' it? If she is, we might be able to get a handle on this.

Korwa: It's too late... It'd be more accurate to say that the overwhelming animosity has overtaken her consciousness!

Korwa: The gears of war won't stop until it's vanquished all playboys in existence!

Tyre: V-Vira! Please get a hold of yourself!

Tyre: Viraaaaa!

Korwa: She can't hear you... The real Vira's asleep right now...

Elsam: Ty! I know it can't be fun havin' your crush turn into that thing, but you've gotta keep it cool!

Psycho Vira MK II: Squishy-clink!

Psycho Vira MK II: Three playboys confirmed... Proceeding to eliminate targets...

Tomoi: Oh snap! It's headed this way!

Lowain: Looks like this might be do-or-die time, bros...

Tyre: Agreed, my fellow bros! It would pain my heart beyond description to leave Vira in such a state!

Lowain: You said it, Ty. We'll just have to show her that even playboys have a place in this world!

Lowain: 'Sides, you had your chance to shine, Ty! It's about time the rest of us dudebros got a chance in the spotlight!

Elsam: Bwahaha! Totally! Like, we'll have to prove that playboys aren't really all that bad!

Tomoi: Word up. We gotta take this chance for all of us to reach an understanding.

Lowain: Now that we've mastered the way of the gentleman, we ain't just ordinary party peeps anymore! Nah, we're party gents!

Lowain: And it's time to prove that party gents can totally chat it up like a boss!

Tyre: When this battle is done with, I swear to accompany Vira to the bookstore!

Lowain: Aight! Ready, brofams?

Lowain: Let's get turnt!

Elsam & Tomoi: Hot diggity!

All Three: w00000t!
