[ .. Well, talking to Battler helped a little, but.. she still has to know for sure, right? Whether all of it from back then was fake or not.. something like this is the only way to find out in the end. No matter how difficult it is to actually write something like this.. ugh, okay, Ange, just push ahead. Just quickly do it, a quick painless kind of death because he'll make fun of her, no doubt.. ]

Hey Yuri,

If there's ever some kind of dumb forced party in this place again, let's stick together during it, okay? Make sure to not misunderstand me though, it's not like it's the same as asking you out to it and especially nothing like a date. I just know that knowing this place it'll be full of sappy lovebirds all over including most people I actually know, and I don't want to be stuck alone in the middle of all that. The least I could have around is someone who doesn't say dumb things every single sentence.

[ .. that's still.. too weak..!! he absolutely can't go and think the wrong thing, okay, she needs to make sure here she's doing this right. ] Since you, as we both know, only say dumb things every other sentence. [ there. ] And at least unlike another Yuri, you probably won't make things more difficult for me during a party. [ she still hasn't forgotten the drunk shenanigans.. ]

[ Going home was just too much of a bother nowadays. Or at least, that's what Ange would say if asked about it, but honestly it was much more than that to her. She genuinely wanted to spend as little time around her aunt as possible, so staying around campus for as long as she could until it was really so late that she should go home was the easiest way to escape having to deal with that woman. And what better way to spend time there than with your boyfriend, right?

And the way to keep that time spending thing fairly secret is pretty easy to think of - hanging out in his room while his roommate is out, of course. Whereas you'd expect any other couple to just simply make out in that situation though, these two are way too.. special for that, apparently. Ange's decided to take over Yuri's desk (like he ever uses that either way, let's face it, she probably had to get spider webs off it) with her own pile of books as she's seemingly working on some homework for a class.

Not like she's fully ignoring the guy though, she obviously does enjoy his company. So she glances sideways at him lying on his bed. ]

Are you just going to laze around like that the entire time? [ Deadpandere. Obviously. ]

[ Ange is a champion in keeping things to herself all the time, really. But there are still at least some things she has to speak with her older brother about now, despite things having gotten much rustier between the two of them than before. That witch - Lambdadelta - gaining access to the community was already pretty worrying in itself to Ange (although it could've been worse, it could've been Bernkastel) but the conversation she had with that witch made her worried over her older brother. She couldn't help but worry over him, it was natural even if she still wasn't very happy with him.

At least she knows where to find him, so that's why Ange is standing right outside the study by now. She knows he probably shouldn't be bothered too much since he's busy working on the game, but talking with him about this is important, right? It's not even like 'making some time free for his little sister' or whatever since she's already half given up on that idea.

The girl knocks on the door briefly - at least she's doing that for once - before just plainly opening the door and peeking in. ]

... Battler onii-chan?

Well.. [ for one there might actually be something slightly hesitant or even downright awkward about Ange, just imagine that. (there's also a trace of flour left on her cheek, but she doesn't seem to notice it, (un)fortunately.) ]

To the people who gave me stuff for Christmas - um, that would be Battler, Yuri, Makoto, Hinata-san [ assuming he did get all of them something later on like he said ] and Roze-san.. [ ... ] Ah, I didn't forget anyone, did I? Well, there's excess either way, I guess.

Anyway, I guess I at least had to do something in return for those presents or it wouldn't be very fair considering mutual exchange, so I made something small for all of you guys too, even if it's late by now. Consider it your New Years gift instead or whatever time it is over there.

Don't think too much of it though, considering it isn't anything big. I have more important things to do than waste my time on getting presents. [ which is why she spent quite some time shoving Ronove out of the kitchen making severly burnt handmade cookies, yup, tsundere. ] I still have to get them over there, but at least the thought is here now.

... So that would make all of us even again now, right?
