Kamira
What's up, Mitorin? Suddenly calling me out like this.

Mito
Y-yeah. ...Um, about earlier...I was wondering if you were okay.

Kamira
Huh? About what?

Mito
Because we left Kamira-chan behind...

Kamira
Oh, that! Don't worry about it!

Kamira
Isn't Irocchi and the others getting excited about otaku talk just the usual thing?

Mito
N-no, that's not it!

Mito
It's just...I don't know how to put it, but...I thought maybe you wanted to join in...

Kamira
Me?

Mito
I'm sorry if I'm mistaken. It's just...I've had similar experiences before.

Mito
I'm not saying you're the same as me, but you...seemed troubled.

Kamira
Troubled?

Mito
U-um, like, wanting to chat together but not knowing how to...

Mito
S-sorry! I think I'm misunderstanding. Sorry for saying something weird.

Kamira
......

Mito
Kamira-chan...?

Mito
I'm sorry, having your feelings imagined without permission...that was unpleasant, wasn't it...

Kamira
No, no! That's not it!

Mito
Eh...?

Kamira
...Mitorin is right.

Mito
I am?

Kamira
Yeah...to be honest, I was troubled earlier.

Mito
I-I'm sorry...! So I was right...!

Kamira
Not in that way!

Kamira
I was wondering if it was okay for me to join in.

Mito
If it was okay to join in?

Kamira
Yeah. I was wondering if it was okay for me to talk with Irocchi and Mitorin.

Mito
......

Mito
...Did we make you feel that way?

Kamira
Not at all! It's not that you two were excluding me, it's that I was keeping my distance on my own and feeling troubled on my own!

Mito
W-why...can I ask why?

Kamira
Fufu, why are you asking for permission? Don't worry so much, you can ask and talk about whatever you want.

Kamira
You know, I'm...honestly not an otaku, right?

Mito
...Yeah.

Kamira
And from my perspective, Irocchi and you are like, super otaku! In a good way!

Mito
Yeah.

Kamira
You're always talking about anime so excitedly, getting super passionate, and I have this image that you know a ton about anime!

Kamira
I wondered if it was okay for me, who doesn't know much about anime at all, to join in on your conversation.

Mito
......

Kamira
With your conversation earlier, if I jumped in with my newbie knowledge, I might get in the way of you two, right?

Kamira
Look, Denki people often say things like "That's a different interpretation!" I don't want to interrupt the conversation by asking "What's that?" all the time!

Kamira
So I got nervous and stayed quiet.

Mito
...I see, so that's how it was.

Kamira
So there's nothing for Mitorin and the others to worry about! I'm just overthinking things on my own! Right?

Mito
Yeah...

Kamira
So, this conversation is-

Mito
B-but!

Kamira
Whoa!?

Mito
I...I think that if you like something, you should be able to say you like it...!

Mito
I understand the feeling of wanting to join everyone's circle but not being able to. Because I...used to be like that too.

Mito
But, I-I...would be happy if I could talk about anime with Kamira-chan.

Mito
Iroha-chan also looked very happy earlier. ...If she could talk with Kamira-chan, I'm sure she'd be delighted.

Kamira
B-but I don't really understand anime, and honestly, I might get bored of "Tensura" soon!

Mito
But...you like it now, right?

Kamira
W-well, that's...

Mito
Then I'm sure it'll be fine.

Mito
"First impressions are valuable!" Iroha-chan often says that too. I don't think anyone at Denki would mind at all.

Mito
...W-What do you think, Kamira-chan?

Kamira
What do I think...

Mito
Um, for example...if I said I was interested in makeup, but I don't understand it at all and might get bored quickly...

Kamira
Huh? I'd say try it first even if you get bored quickly!

Kamira
Actually, I wouldn't let you get bored! I'd teach you how fun makeup can be.

Mito
Fufu, yeah. It's probably the same thing.

Mito
Even Rimuru and his friends would never exclude anyone. They accept all kinds of monsters with different circumstances.

Kamira
...Yeah.

Mito
I think...it might be good to have a little courage.

Mito
It'll definitely be okay.
