...that was very painful.

[The worst of puns. That he almost let himself laugh at. Almost. But fortunately his willpower was stronger. It wouldn't do to encourage bad punning.]

Kazuya mentioned it a while back. About them being a very dangerous breed of stalker. I only vaguely remember how we got onto the conversation though, since it was midnight.

[theshiningone]

Punful, Willie. The word was punful.

[Never let it be said that Hiro doesn't aim for a double strike when he sees an advantage. Though whenever he mentioned that, Hiro lets out a sarcastic snort.]

Anyway... That's just like him to be obnoxious without considering other people's feelings. I'm sure he explained what yanderes were in a very autistic way, so you wouldn't understand it. But I do want to hear in your own words on what yanderes are... Ya know, just in cause I gotta fill in any blanks.

[notsolomon]

[Omg what did he do to you that this horrible word play must continue?]

Eh, he was hardly imposing. [Which isn't a thing to discuss any further because he just needed that weirdness out of mind.]

Apparently they are someone who when turned down will lose their mind and either stalk you, murder you or lock you in a basement? It seems strangely specific when something like creeper would suffice.

[theshiningone]

[As long as he wasn't being overly annoying to William, then Hiro wouldn't feel inclined to smash his face in.]

Ah, yeah... That's actually accurate enough. We've got other terms that we use in good ol' Japan like... [Hm.] Are you familiar with 'tsunderes'?

[notsolomon]

[No one needs to smash anyone's face in on his account. He gets enough of that back home.]

No, I am not familiar with that term. Though they both share 'dere' in it. I assume that there is a similar meaning?

[theshiningone]

Basically, yeah! This will be important for your survival in daily conversations as you need to be more genre savvy with this stuff. Thankfully, I'm an expert when it comes to social survival.

[He sounds composed and confident as he was more than happy to shoot out what that word meant. There were plenty of other 'dere' types to mention, but this was one of, if not, the most famous one.]

Now tsunderes... They aren't as dangerous as yanderes, but things can get painful if you rub them the wrong way. They can come off as abrasive and cold at times, but whenever you say the right words and the time is right... They'll become sweet and affectionate putty in your hands. It's like cutting through a onion to find it's gooey sweet center!

[notsolomon]

[This is necessary to survial? Really? But at the same time, it is interesting. In a bizarre way.]

So in other words, it is someone who is capricious? Sounds like they are indeed painful.

And hardly worth the trouble.

...you must have a real problem with them where you are from to need a word for it.

[theshiningone]

Tell me about it! I've had to team up with a few of 'em back home! Like... I'd rather face one hundred demons with only dental floss and a corkscrew than face one of my tsundere hotties when they're pissed off.

[He really missed picking on Airi. She was like a little sister to him... with a hot looking midriff.]

But they are fun to tease. Trust me... It's totally worth to get one flustered. [It's clear that Hiro loves to play with fire.]

[notsolomon]

...so is it some kind of fetish?

[Because he can't see why you would use the word "hottie" otherwise.]

But you seem like the type to enjoy that sort of thing.

[A dangerous type.]

[theshiningone]

JEEZ! S-Stupid William... It's not like I enjoy messing with tsunderes or anything.

[Rather haughtily, he starts hair twirling a lock of hair. Clearly acting like a tsundere.]

I don't understand it at all. It's just so dumb.

[notsolomon]

Why the hell are you calling me st-[Oh, wait.]

So that is a tsundere imitation then? Fascinating. I guess there are some cultural differences that take a bit to understand.

[Weird. This is so weird. Though he had heard some of his peers speak of the chase. Which he hadn't ever understood either.]

[theshiningone]

Good job, William!

[He's not patting him on the head, but the tone of his voice says differently.]

If you were able to catch on, then you're not entirely stupid! Congrats! ♪ [Such a know-it-all.]

[notsolomon]

Oh please. AS if I could ever by confused by such a thing.

[Don't even try to patronize this over achieving nutjob, Hiro.]

Besides, I doubt I shall ever have any use for such a term. It seems more like interesting trivia.
