The moment Baiyi stepped onto the castle's grounds, the dark-skinned loli controlled her Berserker to use its Noble Phantasm to dole out a swift, lethal attack at him. The dark-skinned loli watched with glee as the bolts of green lightning destroyed the intruder's body before converging into a gigantic pillar of blinding light. This was the final stroke of her Berserker's Noble Phantasm.
"Ha!" The dark-skinned loli exclaimed haughtily. "Who called him a 'powerful and mysterious' magician? Faced with the power of my Berserker, all he could do was die! Victory in this Holy Grail war is ours, without a doubt!"
Out of habit, the dark-skinned loli spread her arms open to hug her Servant, but when her arms were inches away from the skin of the Servant, the dark-skinned loli lept backward. She looked as though she had just received a mild electric shock even without skin contact.
"Gah, it burns!" The dark-skinned loli yelled.
[1] This translator beams in the love for archers. Not a lot of things in the world is as sexy!
[2] I’ll be frank; if she were in real life, that’s not the sort of friend I’ll get along with or even think “cute”.
Oh, this reminded me! A lot of tsundere don’t carry over to the real world quite as nicely as they were supposed to be. I mean, if a real girl acted like a typical tsundere, everyone including her grandma would call her a “b****”. The other day while chatting with one of my best friends, we talked about fictional tsundere, and discovered one pretty peculiar thing: while we like our opposite gender tsundere enough (he loves them, actually; I only have like one or two whom I find incredibly charming), we think tsundere of our own gender is b****** and d**** (me and him, respectively). I tutted at female tsundere for their eyerollingly abrasive attitude and witless treatment to everyone else around them (yes, even after taking their emotional baggage excuses into account I find their actions seriously worthy of a wallop with a sweet smile; I might be informed by my life experience tackling way too many difficult women “with emotional baggage” though). My best friend, meanwhile, thinks male tsundere are just a****** with way too much pride than they are actually worth, while their denial of feelings and emotions are “seriously childish”. Our complaints are quite essentially the same, but we see them more easily as glaring faults when the offender is of our own kind, haha!
What kind of dere is your favorite in fictions, True Believers? What kind of dere do you relate to?
[3] Not a loli, but seeing girls kissing each other in a largely wholesome way? And more importantly, playing VIDEO GAMES that I don’t even have to pay for, for the whole day?! Ho, now this is the holiday retreat for the soul!
