— "And can I wonder... For who you prepared your 'surprise attacks' and what are they?"
— "They are just surprise attacks, and my enemies are not of your concern."
— "..."
He just didn't answer, glancing at the people. And not quite people in the bar.
After ten minutes, Potato entered the bar again.
— "Now where did De– Xsate go? I didn't get to bully him enough just yet..."
— «Noted.» Not Deta thought to himself.
— "There you are, bud!" Potato teleports beside him and aggressively pats his head. "Thought you left me for a minute there."
Pocsated gives her an opportunity to do that. Otherwise, he turned off his main immune for now.
— "Potato, PLEASE no." Merc begged her. "Xsate. Same towards you. Don't."
— "But Mercccc, I won't do anything baddddd—"
Naki interrupted Potato's conversation by lifting her.
— "You can provoke him and we– Naki, put her down!"
— "...Okay," [she] put Potato down on the ground.
— "L."
"Deta" starts to stare at Merc... Like... something's wrong with his gaze.
— "Potato, please don't provoke Xsate," Merc continues. "And you Xsate, ignore her provoking. If you can't ignore, take a breath outside."
— "Hmph! I'm just being friendly." Potato answers. "At least, I think this is quite friendly, isn't it..."
— "So you're talking only about 'ignore her provoking'?" Not Deta starts to speak, keeping his gaze to Merc. "How about 'Don't do the same'?"
— "And don't provoke Potato too," he added.
— "Dat's better." He redirected the look to Potato.
— "I work quite hard at being likeable, y'know. Or maybe I don't. Who knows~!" Potato giggles happily, continuing to hover above the ground as she usually does.
— "I do. If you make the same mistake again, I won't predict to you the consequences."
— "Xsate don't be so mean~ I'm just having fun! Being my potato self."
— "I'm telling the facts. Nothing more."
— "Hmph. I can tell a fact too!" Potato's mask darkened. "You guys have quite a bit of regrets, don't you?.. Then again, why would I know about them? That'd be quite weird, wouldn't it? He-he~!"
Taka enters to the bar, and close the door as he takes a step in, looking around and checking who's here.
— «TAKA. TAKA. TAKA. TAKA.» "Guess, what kind of murderer is here."
He doesn't care about Not Deta at all, continuing to look around.
— "Y'know, I do nothing, but teleport here... He-he, it's not good to reveal your power. Could risk being betrayed or worse, y'know."
— "I bet on illusions," Taka replied to Potato."
— "Bi—"
— "A magician never reveals his secrets." He slowly pats her. "I'm glad to see someone else can do illusions too, but that mostly doesn't work on me."
— "I can only do basic illusions, unfortunately. I don't use them often."
— "I know more than one illusion, which that's one of the things I use to trick and fool people. It's very fun to do."
