"Hello? ... Hello, this is Hagakure...

Whoops! Looks like you missed me! Sorry about that, dude. But hey, just drop me a line and I'll get back to you ASAP, okay?

Also, let me know if you're here for business so we can set up an appointment. Thanks!"

Ooh, you made them yourself? That's even better!

[If Nanami's also being judged on a person by person basis, then she gets 100% from Hagakure.]

I'm glad you had fun. How're you holding up anyway? It's been a while since we talked.

[lullabytes]

[ Hagakure rank: S. So she cleared the Fortune-Teller Level... ]

I'm doing okay. ...I'm in Ecruteak with Saionji-san and Shaun-kun at the moment. In a while, we're heading back to Goldenrod...so I can be there by the fourteenth. We're having a dinner then.

[ ... ]

...I'd like you to come to it, if you don't mind.

[crystalballer]

[Trophy unlocked: The Sixth Nonsense! And it only took her like two FTEs, good job Nanami.]

Do I mind? Man, of course not! I'd love to join you guys!

[He actually sounds pretty excited about it. Being included in stuff is just that awesome.]

You're welcome to chill in the house if you need a place to crash, as always. It's just me, Alice-chi and Kirigiri-chi here right now, so there's plenty of couch space.

[Making decisions on behalf of everyone in the house, awww yeah.]

So what's Ecruteak like? Ishimaru-chi said I'd really like it so I should get up there eventually, but what do you think of it? Did you challenge the gym?

[lullabytes]

[ As expected of the SHSL Gamer! ]

I'm glad. I really wanted you to be there.

[ ...APPARENTLY SHE'S...NOT GOING TO MENTION IT'S HER BIRTHDAY...? Okay, Nanami. ]

Hm...I don't mind coming to the house, for sure. Shaun-kun and Saionji-san are still with me, but I think they got along with everyone more or less last time. I don't know if more people will be back by then or not...but Kirigiri-senpai did say she'd come to the dinner, too.

[ So she'll probably still be there. ]

As to Ecruteak, I'm challenging the gym tomorrow...it's a pretty interesting place. Of all the places I've been so far, this one has the most Pokemon legends...it feels like a plot-important city, you know? I bet lots of things would happen here. Saionji-san was learning things from the kimono girls, too, so I think it's good we came here.

[crystalballer]

[Nanami-chi no, don't hold that in! Don't you want presents??]

I know I've got no problem with them chillin' here too. It should work out just fine!

[Okay Saionji is kind of really scary, but it's not like she's tried to hurt anyone...right?]

I kinda get what you mean, yeah...that's really cool! I really need to get over there now, maybe when Spring shows up. You should tell me what the gym's like when you're all done in there. Ishimaru-chi told me the leader is something of a clairvoyant like me! Maybe you can ask him for a fortune if you win.

[lullabytes]

[ She wants a birthday dinner...asking her friends not to murder one another might be the best present. Or to not, uh, yell at one another too much. ]

Okay. I think everyone else still would prefer to stay at hotels...the other ones, I mean...Kuzuryuu-kun and Tsumiki-san and Souda-kun and Gundam-kun. Kuzuryuu-kun said they'd all be on their best behavior for my birthday, though, so it should be okay.

[ Probably. It should probably be okay. ]

I'll let you know what it's like. According to my research, this leader is a ghost-type specialist...but I'll certainly ask him for my fortune. Do you think it would be expensive...?

Your birthday's comin' up? Dude, why didn't you tell me sooner? I'll get you an awesome gift for sure!

[...She can probably guess what the gift's gonna be though. It's just too easy when fortunes make good gifts.]

That's cool though. I dunno if we have room for that many people anyway. But I think the dinner will be good for all of us! We'll get to know each other better. 'cause right now I think we're all still unsure about each other, ya know?

[At least...that's kind of the vibe he's been getting with all the new people.]

[crystalballer]

[But uh, whatever trail of thoughts Hagakure had kinda explodes once Nanami brings up the fact that the Ecruteak gym leader—one he had been planning to meet some day—is a ghost specialist.

This thought explosion manifests itself in his face, which all the color has drained out of. Seriously, just the mere mention of ghosts is enough to turn him into a mess. It doesn't help that ghosts in the Pokemon world are like...ten times worse than in the real world.]

H-He's a gh-gh-ghost-type trainer? [Okay, calm down Hagakure. Deep breaths.] How can he deal with them?! Ghosts love torturing us fortune tellers 'cause we're more sensitive to them!

[lullabytes]

...They do? [ THIS IS NEWS TO HER, but if Hagakure is saying it, then it must be legit. After all, he is one of the people she is to trust absolutely and without fail.

...Although...ghost pokemon don't seem that bad, to her. ] Maybe it's different if they're ghost Pokemon instead of just ghosts...?
