I guess that'll bail you out if necessary but you'll have to stalk people for a while to find the armory...

Less of a while than if I couldn't invisibly take a ride on people's cars.

Well, good luck.

Aaaaand he did this interaction wrong again. He can't do anything right, can he. So much for that fucking wish.

If you have alternative ideas I'm all ears, I'm not married to this one.

For getting guns?  I could... go visit my dad...

...he can't admit that he doesn't know why Haru would ask his dad for a gun because that'd show his hand. Why would his dad have guns, surely Haru's dad isn't a gangster, wait that shoebox apartment didn't look like anyone lived in it other than Haru and his mum, and Haru was born in Canada but his mum looks Asian, so his dad is probably Canadian, which means that,

I don't think you could get it past immigration. I guess you could be invisible or I could come with you and carry it in my bag of holding...

Please say he guessed right please say he guessed right please s—

Yeah, Charlie I'd talk to but customs I'd just hide from with magic.

I'm hoping to get lots of guns, though—wait. What happens if I rewind with stuff in my bag of holding, would I keep it and be able to duplicate it...?

Oh, good question. Going to Charlie would get you only one kind of gun, unless you went on a field trip to the States to check out a range there and borrow everybody's, but it's right near the border...

It'd also be a several-days trip whereas I think I can get somewhere here by tonight if I leave at lunch... Might be being overly optimistic though.

If you want to try to raid the yakuza, obviously you can do that, and it'd be worth it if it's the only way, so you might as well try it first if you prefer.

You still sound pretty unconvinced.

It's not what I'd try, but I'm not the one with the powers or the sketchy friends.

—they're not my friends. Just, my school was a rich person school, and rich people think they can get away with anything, and some of them actually try.

You'd try your dad first? Or something other than guns?

If I needed a gun I'd at least ask Charlie first, or maybe see if the possibility of 3D printing one is all it's cracked up to be.

That seems so... timid. And like it will not get Yutaka to his desired state of having a gun by tonight so he can go kill a witch.

Maybe I could invade a military base... Or a police station. Assuming I can duplicate stuff on a rewind, that is. Maybe I should just test that first of all.

Seems important to know!

I'll test that after class.

Although is there even a point in going to class? Keeping up appearances? ...well, he still would in fact die if he didn't get with anyone the whole month, he cannot be zen like Haru can, and school is the best way he has of acquiring partners. Grindr kinda sucks, and he is nnnnnot touching the Kobayashi twins anymore. He wonders if he can speedrun Tarō-kun, they never got together last time and Yutaka isn't even like sure he likes guys, he's just kinda suspicious, but he didn't introduce himself yesterday because he just joined the translation club immediately and didn't stop at the AV club, he might need to fabricate some excuse to do so. Hmm.

Just like last time, though, the two girls who aren't yet aware that Yutaka's gay and who are attracted by the allure of the size of Yutaka's dad's fortune show up after class is over and before he's had the chance to stand up.

"Iwasaki-san?" asks the one Yutaka shouldn't yet know is called Yamada Ichino.

Oh boy, time to get some assumptions of heteronormativity thrown at me again, isn't that fun.

("Iwasaki-san's my father, you can call me Yutaka." He is, again, not going to be rude to them, but he's only half-paying attention while he puts his stuff away. Telepathing with Haru is way more fun.)

("Oh, um, okay! I'm Yamada Ichino, my friend's Tanaka Naomi.")

    ("Hi," says Naomi, shyly.)

("It's a pleasure to meet you," he says, but he doesn't bow, on account of how he's still sitting down.)

Enjoy, I guess!

Oh I'm not gonna. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to preempt it that won't sound assholish or kind of out of nowhere, like, "oh by the way I'm like super gay" seems like it'd be pretty presumptuous of their intentions even if my presumptions are correct. They haven't been rude yet.

("We're wondering if there was something we could ask you?")
