Although Sogo Doma was serious about having fun, he didn't always manage to have any. Take right now, for instance...
"Erina..." Sogo's mischievous streak had only just begun to stir when Umaru Doma cut him off. "Why don't we just ignore this fun-loving weirdo..."
Her suggestion hit Erina Nakiri right where it counted. "Yeah, sure!"
They left as quietly as they had arrived.
With a wave of their sleeves, they bid farewell...
"Wait a second..." All right, there was no bidding farewell—Sogo Doma hadn't managed to get a laugh out of them, and he really wanted to ask if they'd joined the Axis Cult. They were always pulling the "running away is shameful, but effective" trick. Did they really think that would leave him helpless? How naive! Just watch him...
EMMM...
All right, Sogo Doma really was helpless. For now, he'd have to play the victim:
"Komaru, are you going to leave your lonely Onii-chan all by himself again?"
Umaru Doma's face was perfectly calm: -_-
But she was quite pleased inside: (￣︶￣)
Hehe, Onii-chan really can't live without Umaru! But—
"Clearly, it's Onii-chan who..." Though she was very pleased, she still had to make sure Onii-chan understood what he'd done wrong.
"Ah..." But she'd barely started when Sogo Doma said, "Onii-chan was only joking. Who knew you'd take it so seriously..."
Umaru Doma: -_-
"You can't joke about everything, you know!?"
"Don't be so serious..."
"Onii-chan!"
"Actually, I was only doing it for Erina's sake..."
At that, Erina Nakiri couldn't sit still. "???"
What did she have to do with this!?
"How did this become about doing it for Erina's sake?" Umaru Doma was just as confused.
"Of course it's because..." Sogo Doma said. Wasn't he just looking for an excuse? He might not have much else (like shame),
