I Feel Anxious
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3
Diasomnia Dorm - Lounge
After School
Silver: Kalim, and also Jamil. I thank you for coming all the way here.
Kalim: It's for helping a friend, of course we'll come! Right, Jamil.
Jamil: What do you mean "Right, Jamil", you're the one who forced me to come here.
Jamil: ...Well, whatever. So, what is the favor you want to ask from Kalim?
Silver: There is only one favor I want to ask. Please...
Silver: Teach me the ways of becoming more expressive.
Jamil & Kalim: Huh? / Hm?
Jamil: Err, why asking for something like that?
Silver: The truth is...
~~~
Jamil: ...I see. Your classmates said they can't read your expressions and it makes it hard to approach you.
Jamil: Well, I really can't say your expressions are easy to understand.
Silver: So you think so too after all.
Silver: All this time, I was troubling everyone because of my lack of facial expressions.
Silver; So I want to improve it somehow. Would you assist me?
Kalim: You're a good guy Silver, I don't think you're hard to approach at all, but...
Kalim: If you say you want to fix that part about you I'll help you.
Jamil: Good grief... Once Kalim decides something there's no stopping him. I'll tag along too, but don't expect too much.
Silver: Kalim, Jamil... Thank you.
Silver: Tell me, Kalim, how do you always show your emotions so easily?
Kalim: Eh, even if you ask me "how" I do it~
Kalim: Hmmm, showing my emotions... showing my emotions... What I always keep in mind...
Silver: You always keep in mind...?
Kalim: I tried thinking of something, but there's nothing in particular! Ahaha!
Jamil: You've always been like that after all...
Silver: I see. So Kalim doesn't have to think about it, his expressions just change naturally.
Silver: It would be nice if I could reach this level, but...
Kalim: Aren't you overthinking this?
Kalim: Being happy or being sad... as long as you understand how you're feeling right now it would just come to your face.
Silver: I see... so I should focus on the "now".
Silver: Thank you for the useful advice, Kalim. I shall try it right away.
Kalim: Go for it! By the way, what are you feeling right now?
Silver: I feel anxious about whether I can manage to change my expressions.
Jamil: Thought so. Then, try to express it.
Kalim: Try to move your face so it says "I'm troubled~!" !
Silver: Yeah. Then, here I go.
Silver: Feeling troubled, feeling troubled...
Silver: ......
Jamil & Kalim: .....
Silver: How was that?
Jamil & Kalim: Eh?
Jamil: Don't tell me you were making a troubled face just now?
Kalim: I thought it didn't started yet. Ahaha, your face didn't change at all!
Silver: I was sure I was doing it properly... it's more difficult than I thought.
Kalim: I was sure it would go well with this method~. Jamil, do you have other ideas?
Jamil: Let's see... how about training your facial muscles?
Jamil: For example, trying to keep your smile on.
Silver: I see. Muscles do become weak if you don't use them.
Silver: Perhaps my facial muscles lack training so they don't move actively.
Silver: However, just now I couldn't move those muscles to my liking either... What kind of training should I use...
Jamil: For starters how about you just lift your cheeks with your fingers to create a smile?
Silver: I think I will be able to pull that. Alright, I'll try it out.
Silver: Lifting my cheeks with my fingers, and keeping a smile...
Silver: .......
Silver: ....Uh!
Kalim: Eh, Silver? Your face suddenly twisted, you okay!?
Silver: My cheeks were about to become cramped...
Jamil: Since you don't usually move you facial muscles...
Sebek: Hey, Silver. What are you making a ruckus for.
Silver: Hm? It's you, Sebek.
Jamil: Seems like the other Diasomnia students are back...
Jamil: We'll be in the way if we stay too long. Kalim, it's about time we return to the Dorm.
Kalim: Eh, but Silver still wasn't able to show his emotions you know?
Silver: No, before I noticed we were doing it for longer than planned. Your help was more than enough, Kalim.
Silver: Thanks to you two I found a lead. I'll handle the rest myself.
Kalim: I see, I'm glad I could help! Then we'll be leaving, but if you need help again just call us!
Silver: Yeah. I'm grateful for your help.
Sebek: Why were those of Scarabia here in Diasomnia? What on Earth were you doing?
Silver: The truth is....
~~~
Sebek: Hmph, how ridiculous! There is no need to pay attention to what some humans told you.
Silver: That won't do.
Silver: I am Malleus-sama's guardsman. The guardsman's valuation might sometimes effect the master's right?
Sebek: Hmph, the Young Lord's mightiness would not be sullied by such a thing!
Sebek: ...However, I cannot stand the thought of the Young Lord's reputation being hurt even by a little.
Sebek: I have no choice. This time I shall help you too.
Silver: Really?
Sebek: I do not go back on my words. Also, you don't need to do something foolish as training your facial muscles.
Silver: Why? I thought it was an efficient method to make myself more expressive.
Sebek: Because there is no need to it in the first place.
Sebek: Today we shall hold our training in the courtyard. Let us head there right away.
Silver: I don't mind but... what is this about all of a sudden?
Silver: Earlier you said you'll give me a hand. You're saying my troubles would be solved if we do that?
Sebek: You will understand in due time. Just say nothing more and follow me.
Silver: Hpmh. Understood.
