He's the type who announces his plans just like that...wow...

[white with his brain cell]

Either way...you seem pretty smart, yourself. Do you work with these devices often?

[dotcom]

Cellphones are just common where I'm from. Any grade schooler should be able to work one.

[commedia]

These devices are really widespread? Ah, how the modern era has changed! Things like this in the past would've only belonged to the upper echelons of society, mm.

[dotcom]

It can get complicated like that. There are kinds that are far more expensive that some people can't afford, but those are also the more popular types.

[ somehow this isn't the first time i've had to explain capitalism in terms of cellphones in a mg and idk why it keeps happening ]

[commedia]

How confusing...there are even different types?

[Mindblowing, honestly.]

So tell me, tell me! What do you two do? You and Mineo?

[dotcom]

We work at a detective agency.

[Oh, someone else is in the planetarium. Douman glances up at the stars, twinkling away, before glancing back to Takeru with a light smile.]

...Here to clear your mind?

[dotcom]

[ oh it's the giant clown man. ]

It's one of the quieter spots.

[commedia]

It is. Its why I'm here as well.

[They glance up.]

You know, onmyouji have to learn astronomy as part of their work for divination and the like. So seeing all this is somewhat nostalgic.

[dotcom]

[ he follows their gaze. ]

Are you actually Ashiya Douman?

[commedia]

...

[That question...]

[It makes their smile edge into the slightest smirk.]

That I am. The one and only.

[dotcom]

Mineo was very excited to meet you. Practically starstruck.

[commedia]

[...]

[They actually frown at that. Lots of expressions here.]

He really shouldn't be. It is hardly as if I deserve the attention.

[dotcom]

[ he glances over at them. ]

The weight of carrying a name with so much history then, huh?

[commedia]

[A shrug.]

The weight of history is a lot to bear, yes, but...my name is not something people remember with such fondness as he does.

[dotcom]

I'm surprised you hadn't noticed. He's bad at hiding his excitement on his face.

[commedia]

No, no, I noticed! He made his excitement quite evident. Apparently there are even kabuki plays about this humble priest.

[A light laugh.]

But still. I'm not one who revels in attention like that, so...its something I am still getting used to.

[dotcom]

Hm, celebrity life...

[ he trails off, looking back to the stars. ]

There aren't that many Japanese people here anyway, so it's probably fine.

[commedia]

Ergh, "celebrity"? I can't say I identify with such a word...

[Humble priest and all.]

Its not all that bad. But its a bit odd to hear people tell your own history back to you.

[dotcom]

Well, I won't. I'm not particularly interested in that kind of thing.

[ but he knows nothing about douman, so he figured he should ask. ]

[commedia]

In history, you mean? Not your subject?

[dotcom]

I'm not fanatical about it, no. You have to know things to understand the present, but I don't see the point in worshipping someone who's been dead for years.

[commedia]

How interesting. You two make quite the pair. He, with his adoration of the past, and you, moving ahead to the future.

I suppose that combination makes you good detectives.

[dotcom]

We're really not a pair. There are others who work with us who are simply just not here.

[ he would

prefer if they were here but it's fine. ]

[commedia]

Ahaha, I see. Well, beggars can't be choosers. I suppose its more of a blessing for you to have him here than not...
