Sawa Sudachi (Christmas Costume)

Feeling Funfumu
(Funiki Funfumu)

Sudachi: "(I can't speak, so... I should leave all the conversation to Yozuru and just stand quietly, right...?)"
--------------------

Sudachi
[One week before Christmas we ran a special campaign at Puella Care.]
[It's a campaign where Yozuru and I dress as the "Three Wise Men of the East" and give free adjustments to all the mahou shoujo we meet throughout the city,]
[but there was one encounter... that I'll never ever forget.]

Emiri
Alrighty, I'll take one adjustment easy pleasy!

Sudachi
Fumu-!
Fumu! Fumu-!

Emiri
Oh...?

Sudachi
F-Fumu...?

Emiri
I heard you're still an apprentice, but...
Perfecto! I'm brimming with super power!

Sudachi
Fumu-mu!

Emiri
Thanks! ...Ah, sorry!
I just remembered I didn't even catch your name!

Sudachi
Fumumu.

Emiri
Sudachi...? Heeh, now that's an awesome name if I've ever heard one.
Then your nickname's...Sudacchan... Su...Suda...Suda...Sudacheru!

Sudachi
――っ!?

Emiri
You like Sudacheru? Then Sudacheru it is.

Sudachi
F-Fumumu...

Emiri
Sudacheru and I're pretty close in age, aren't we? How old?

Sudachi
Fu-mumun.

Emiri
Oh, I'm 13, so that makes me your onee-san.

Sudachi
Fu-... Fumun mun...

Emiri
Mature...? Me?
I guess it's cause of the clothes, thanks.
I did put lots of thought into this outfit,
but Sudacheru over here's got some pretty high fashion too, don'tcha?
Someone coordinate with ya?

Sudachi
Fumumumun!

Emiri
Livia-san...? Ahh, Mitamaccho's sensei?
So is there a model the outfit's based on?
You got a red mantle like Santa-san... Like, a lot like him, but it's kinda dif...?
Like what's with the yellow scrunchie on your head?

Sudachi
Fuumun!

Emiri
Curoun... Ahh, a crown?
A scrunchie crown huuh, isn't that just the cutesiest thing?

Sudachi
Fumu-!

Emiri
So you got a crown like a king? You're a king?

Sudachi
Fu-mufumumu!

Emiri
That's not it...then, what are you?

Sudachi
Fuumunmu, funmunmu...?

Emiri
The eastern...three wise men...? What kinda people are they?

Sudachi
Fumumun...?

Emiri
Oji-san...?
So you're saying...not a king,
but cosplaying a wise oji-san! That's what you meant!

Sudachi
Fumun!
Fumumumu, mu-mumu!

Emiri
I got the gist of it? Sweet!

Sudachi
Fumu...!

Yozuru
~ You seemed unusually happy to chat with her. ~

Sudachi
~ It surprised me too... I wonder if that's Emiri-san's charm. ~

Yozuru
~ To think you would use telepathy to speak with someone you only just met... ~

Sudachi
~ …………Eh? But I didn't use it? ~

Yozuru
~ ...? ~
~ You...established communication with her, correct...? ~

Emiri
~ …………Ah- ~
~ Now that you mention it, how weird. ~
~ I wasn't using telepathy... ~

Yozuru
~ Eh...you didn't think it was strange until just now...? ~

Sudachi
~ Yeah... ~
~ But Emiri-san, she understood everything I said though? ~

Yozuru
~ Perhaps she was making judgments based on your gestures...? ~

Sudachi
~ But, she got my age, my name, the three wise men of the east, ~
~ and maybe some other words that she wouldn't have known. ~

Yozuru
~ Even if I were to master the art of communication, ~
~ would I ever attain such a level as that... ~

Sudachi
~ Is that...what it was...? ~
[Even if I asked Emiri-san "Why were you able to understand me?"]
[I think her answer would just be "Hmm, just a feeling!"]
[From now on, whenever I wear this costume, I think I'll remember that day.]
