[Text. Alignment Virus.]

[unknownrival]

You know what confuses me the most? That some people can't tell when they've been virused.

It isn't hard to look on your past actions and think, "I would never have done this." You don't need an expository wardrobe change either. Or an opposite twin running around.

Speaking of which... it's very convenient not to have one, isn't it? I'm sure I would have been impaled by now in the worse way, had this been the third time Issei Ryudo picked up a doppelganger. But frankly, no one's going to do anything to the body the precious beloved Issei has, so I have free reign for as long as the virus lasts.

Now, dance like puppets for my amusement.

It's a virus, neither of us are directly responsible for it. So don't...don't look at me like you're accusing me of something.

[action]

[unknownrival]

If you absolutely insist... no.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...Fine. Then I'm just not going to argue with you.

[action]

[unknownrival]

That's no good. Then I have to find other ways of amusing myself.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...

[Dammit.]

Like what?

[action]

[unknownrival]

[He stretches out the hand with his Command Seals on them.]

I could think of something.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Wh..n-no.. Issei--Master, please don't--

[action]

[unknownrival]

Why not? It's my right, isn't it?

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Please...I'm begging you, d-don't. Please don't be like him.

[action]

[unknownrival]

That's more like it. Beg more.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Master, don't...I don't understand, why are you even doing this?!

[action]

[unknownrival]

Why not, when you invite it so much?

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

I'm not doing any such thing!

[action]

[unknownrival]

The only common factor between your servitude to your last two masters and your servitude to me is you.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...what do you mean to say by that, Master?

[action]

[unknownrival]

You're like a puppy. Every time I kick you you'll come back trying to figure out what it is you did wrong, trying to do better.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Why shouldn't I? If I have done something wrong, as your Servant I should work to improve so I do not fail you.

[action]

[unknownrival]

This is exactly why you get kicked so often. Because you never, ever fight back until it's too late.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...until now I didn't have a reason to fight back against you, Master.

[action]

[unknownrival]

The point stands.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

You're implying I should fight against someone when I have no reason to. I already defied Kayneth-dono, is that not enough?

[action]

[unknownrival]

Hm, maybe not. But we're getting a bit sidetracked.

[He examines his Command Spells.]

They don't look like much.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

...Wh-what are you planning on doing...

[action]

[unknownrival]

I'm not sure yet. Something that amuses me.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Don't--you don't have to use a Command Spell, please...
