Hahah, I can't complain! There's still a military, of course, but for most people the days are very peaceful.

[purities]

For most people. And what about you? You brought a gun.

[cupidsammo]

[ … SHE SURE DID ]

I—oh. Well I’m—not human so I don’t really live like they do anyway…

[purities]

What do you call yourself, then?

[cupidsammo]

I’m a cupid!

[ But given what she knows about Mizu… this may warrant an explanation. ]

We’re, ah… [ oh boy here we go at the love anti ] We work under the Goddess of Love to help humans fall in love.

[purities]

[HELPPPP this is very funny lore for the love anti to learn. mizu's expression immediately curdles like milk.]

Your goddess doesn't trust humans to do that in their own time?

[cupidsammo]

[ h- haha ]

W- well they kind of can't without us so...

[purities]

... I see.

[GAZES.]

Funny. Men and women spend so much of their time agonizing over love, when it's all just induced in them by little girls armed with guns.

[cupidsammo]

[ ...... ;;;;;; ]

Please don't let this ruin your perception of love.




... Even more.

[purities]

My perception is perfectly fine.

[cupidsammo]

Oh. Um. It's just that you seem to dislike it a lot...

[purities]

Because love is worthless to me.

Nothing you can say can lower my opinion of it any further, so don't worry.

[cupidsammo]

I… see. W- well then you have nothing to worry about! We wouldn’t target anyone who has no interest.

[purities]

Then how do you decide who to target?

[cupidsammo]

We choose from a task board... And the pigeons are the ones who deliver those targets to the board.

[purities]

[






just stares at her

none of those words are in the axolotl bible]

[cupidsammo]

[ stares back ]

......... So once we decide on who we scout them out and go from there?

[purities]

I changed my mind. My opinion can get lower after all.

[cupidsammo]

[ HUH?! ]

I— I promise it's a good thing...

[purities]

It sounds like you're just choosing who to bother arbitrarily.

There's no guarantee things will work out for them either, is there?

[cupidsammo]

[ ... ]

Well, erm... Once someone catches feelings for another, it's up to them how things work out from there... so it's not a guarantee, no.

[purities]

[goddess of love when mizu catches you--]

Are you getting paid for any of it?

[cupidsammo]

[ Koharu suddenly isn't sure if there's a right answer to this, but, ]

Not with like, yen or anything like that! But we do collect something called 'karma' for every successful hit, so... it is something like a currency for cupids.

[purities]

[well... at least she's getting paid in something...?]

What do you do with this karma?

[cupidsammo]

It's how we buy our gear and ammunition, mostly! So we have to be careful about how we use our stuff compared to how many targets we manage to land.
