Joker/Belka C-S Rank

C RANK

JOKER: Belka, I hear you do killings.

BELKA: ... You got a problem with that?

JOKER: No, no problems. I just thought I'd give you an offer.

BELKA: ... I'm not one for jokes.

JOKER: This is no joke. I'd like to hire you for a killing. Will you take up my request?

BELKA: ... I suppose I can hear you out, at least.

JOKER: Recently, I've been having a bit of an insect problem in my food stores. I want you to kill every last one of them.

BELKA: ... Didn't I tell you I hated jokes?

JOKER: You don't get it, do you? I'm making a serious request here. Your target this time may be insects, but killing is killing. In fact, I think this should be easier job than killing a man.

BELKA: ... You are an eyesore.

JOKER: Well? Had a change of heart?

BELKA: Joker... I can't do bug exterminations. I only know how to kill people.

JOKER: ...

BELKA: I really don't know anything... other than ways to kill people. That's the only thing I've ever learned... I've never needed to learn anything else.

JOKER: Hah. That's a rather lopsided education you've got. Where were you born, to have to live like that?

BELKA: I don't know that, either... The first memories of my life start in the ghettoes. What I learned from the adults there... make up all I am...

JOKER: So that's why you can kill a man, but you don't know how to kill bugs. You are rather intriguing.

BELKA: ...

JOKER: Don't worry, I won't ask you to solve my insect problems anymore... I suppose I have no choice but to do something about it myself.

BELKA: In that case... You never needed to ask me in the first place...

JOKER: I was just asking you to do work that I didn't want to do myself. Is there something wrong with that?

BELKA: Hahah... Nothing at all... It's my job to do work that people don't want to do.

JOKER: You're always walking around with that grim expression... it's starting to make me surly too.

BELKA: Joker...

JOKER: I won't tell you to smile all the time, but couldn't you look more proper?

BELKA: And what about yourself?

JOKER: Don't jest with me. I always have a refreshing look on my face.

BELKA: Hah... you're the only one who thinks that...

JOKER: Tch. Is something wrong?

BELKA: I'm a bit... scared.

JOKER: Oh? That's fascinating. what would someone with skills like yours have to fear?

BELKA: I feel like I'm changing...

JOKER: How so?

BELKA: I'm doing the same thing I've always done... Take requests and kill someone... Take orders, and kill my enemies... it's all the same... just as I've always done... But... when I'm here... I feel like one day I won't be able to do that anymore... I won't be able to stay as the self I've been all this time anymore....

JOKER: That's because around here, you're forced to interact with others, like it or not. That's caused a change in your mentality.

BELKA: I think so too...

JOKER: So? Is being the person you've always been that important to you?

BELKA: What do you mean?

JOKER: If you see no worth in the person you used to be, then discard it with pride and accept this change. That's all I have to say. Change is nothing to be afraid of.

BELKA: Hahah. You have a point. Perhaps... it would be fine... to submit myself to the flow... Thank you... Joker...

JOKER: Hmph. I don't need your thanks.

JOKER: Belka.

BELKA: Joker...

JOKER: Hm? You look unusually cheery today.

BELKA: Do I really? I can't tell myself...

JOKER: Happy to see me, by any chance?

BELKA: ...

JOKER: Well? Be honest.

BELKA: To be honest... I might be...

JOKER: Hah. I never thought you'd go along with my joke. You must really be in high spirits today.

BELKA: ... I'm not good with jokes.

JOKER: Then let me get you in an even better mood. Belka, marry me.

BELKA: ...

JOKER: ... Strange, that had the opposite effect.

BELKA: That's the worst joke I've ever heard... It's not funny at all...

JOKER: That wasn't a joke. I'm saying this in all seriousness.

BELKA: ...

JOKER: You said that meeting people has changed you, right?

BELKA: Yes... I did...

JOKER: The same goes for me. My meeting with you has created a new feeling within me. That would be... my love for you.

BELKA: Joker...

JOKER: I have accepted this change. That's why I'm proposing to you.

BELKA: ...

JOKER: I'll say it again... Belka, marry me.

BELKA: Marrying you won't change me so quickly... I still don't think I'll be able to let people get near me, and I won't be able to smile sweetly, either... Are you... still going to marry me anyway?

JOKER: Yeah, that's not a problem. We've got plenty of time. We don't have to hurry this change. But, let me stay with you. I want to experience your changes together with you.

BELKA: Joker...

JOKER: Belka, will you marry me?

BELKA: Yes... thank you...
