[Wow, this guy seriously just agreed with him about his weak body? Well, it's very true, but that doesn't stop the thin bit of annoyance. Maybe he'll become a ninja out of spite and wind up in medbay.]

Fufufu, it's true that I can't become a ninja with this heart of mine and my struggling lungs, but that doesn't mean I can't be curious. It's a very interesting thing, isn't it? And they come from Japan, as well.

What are ninja to you, Mr. Stopmessages?

[ You are henceforth required to run with your arms dangling behind you inexplicably. ]

I think my answer would be too much for you. [ Rude as shit. But... ]

[ ... ]

Are you seriously typing out your laughs? [ just... ]

My, that's awfully cold of you. It's rude to ask for help explaining things and then to decline it yourself, you know? How naughty.

[Did he have to say it like that??? Yes,]

Oh, you recognized it. ☆ Fufu, I'm glad, since there are so many here who seem behind on simple things like this. From my position and role, as well as my existence as an idol, I should make statements like this. It adds character to type out my laugh as so, doesn't it? To laugh like www is a little more dull and not so proper.

Maybe so, with your position. I couldn't care less about any of that. [ Cold is an understatement. ]

Seems like a waste of time to care about how others perceive you that much.

So you're the cold and aloof type? There's plenty of appeal to that, as well.

It's my job to deliver joy and happiness to the masses, and to make dreams seem within their reach. In other words, if I don't care about something like that, then I would be a poor idol indeed.

Are you going to leave me without an explanation of your shinobi?

Stop, I don't want to be appealing. [ At all. He's suffered through that enough in his life. ]

I'm still formulating my opinion; I can share what I've learned so far but you won't understand it if you aren't from that world.

Can you really inspire others if you're so physically limited, though? [ See, he sounds like a dick but he genuinely wants to know. ]

It's too late for that. ♪ And that's too bad; I was hoping to learn more about you. Fufu, I suppose that means I should find out in my own way, then, doesn't it?

It's true that my health puts many limitations on things. I missed a lot of school due to being hospitalized, but that's why I have to push myself even harder to keep up with the rest. Even if I have to bring oxygen tanks backstage at my performances and push myself to exhaustion just before passing out, then I will perform to the best of my abilities and make my lovely fans see only the best part of me. To them, there are no flaws, there are no struggles, it is only me and my group on the stage, making their dreams within reach. I must appear perfect to them and to those who look up to me, and so that is what I aim for.

Fufu, through that, and through some not so honorable methods, I was able to reach the top of the school as an idol. Some call me "Emperor", but that's a silly title. I'm still struggling to reclaim whatever "throne" they've imagined me sitting on. I have a long way to go and this body of mine is irritating, but I won't stop at anything, even if I die.

[ oh jesus christ ]

[ If Eichi's earlier texts had been difficult to respond to, this really amps it up to the next level. There's just so much happening here. ]

I don't care about children vying for cheap political power within a school. I don't see the value in a popularity contest, even if your determination is commendable.

Your philosophy is one I disagree with completely, though. People shouldn't be shielded from the idea of struggle.

It's because it passes far beyond that of a "popularity contest." In the end, all politics come down to that, don't they? Even schools in other nations have been changed by how I've altered this school. What was once a dull place with no motivation is now a place brimming with energy, full of people who will jump into the entertainment industry and make an impressive and interesting show.

It's not that I want to shield struggle completely, but that I want to appear as though my own journey is effortless. It's my effortlessly magnificent appearance that will inspire those below me to struggle for themselves to get to this point, and experience challenge themselves. That is what I think.

I don't like politics. [ Groundbreaking, except that he doesn't like anything. ]

Showing your progress as effortless could be equally demoralizing if people are comparing themselves to you. Also, if you have that much influence then encourage people to do more important things than entertain others.

I don't either, if I'm being honest. It's full of corruption and idiots who don't know how to make use of their power. But nevermind that.

It is because of an idol I was a fan of that I wanted to become one myself and spread joy to those around me. Perhaps it's you who doesn't understand the importance of something like this in my world. In a world where people have many different backgrounds, having a goal within reach that can spread something positive to others is a wonderful thing. It is because I saw people doing that that I was able to think my useless body could do something worthwhile after all.

Fufu, but you didn't ask for so much detail, did you? I'm sorry for rambling for so long, but since I'm the only one here from my own home, it gets rather lonely and I get the urge to speak about it. Oh well.

By the way, my name is Eichi Tenshouin. It's nice to meet you. ♪

Then we've found a single point of agreement. I didn't question your goal, I questioned your methods. Of course there isn't a world without struggles and the possible need for the encouragement of others, you just aren't doing it transparently.

But at least you finally noticed how much you were going on.

Uchiha Sasuke. It probably won't be that nice.

Fufu, my methods are something that even I have looked back on and questioned myself with. Even still, they've carried me and others to this wonderful place, so I can't bring myself to regret them at all.

Even if you say that, I've enjoyed this conversation thoroughly. I hope that I can learn more of "ninja" through you, Sasuke.

[He just goes straight to first name basis, even if he recognizes that his name sounds very Japanese. He knows their worlds can still be very different.]

I've been here for quite some time, so if you should ever need help settling in, please feel free to ask me.

[ Well... there's another thing they have in common, but he's less willing to admit to that so early on in their acquaintance. "Questionable methods" would be putting it generously. ]

I can't say I recommend learning or that I'm the best teacher when I'm still learning. But fine.

Why is the water pressure so bad in the showers? [ You offered yourself up for this. ]

Curiosity can't be stopped.

The water pressure has never been all that impressive, perhaps because we're in space, but I believe it's worse due to the malfunctions the ship is having. For a time, we lost gravity and oxygen as well. That was terrible on my heart.

That makes sense. It sounds difficult.

If it continues I'll have to take matters into my own hands, however. Is the subpar food a result of the same issues?

Unfortunately. There were quite a few places in the mall on board that I could have taken you too for excellent food, even the food of commoners, but they've closed down to save power so the oxygen can stay on.

But there may be some places to eat at this new location we've stopped at. Do you want to take a look?

It can't be helped. I'll need to.

When it comes to unhealthy or prepackaged food, I'm not interested. It's limiting my options right now.

I've been to a few places now already. It gets suffocating to stay on this ship, so shall I escort you somewhere nice? Fufu, I promise I have only the best taste in food. As the scion of the Tenshouin family, I have no choice but to be raised in such a way. ♪

None of that means anything to me.

Also, I prefer to do things on my own.

[ ... ]

Is it difficult to navigate?

It's very expansive, and going alone can be dangerous with the effects each district has on your mood. But if you'd prefer to be surrounded by fans, then I understand.

[Just saying, if you wanna get lost in the lust district go ahead...]
