I have an egg.

What am I supposed to do with it?

[good_ideas]

Someone will, some day. [And she thinks it isn't the end of the world if no one does. It's probably not the best thing to say to a teenage boy though.]

Somewhere. Maybe.

[asano_san]

How many new batches of people from the well will it take?

[As if this wasn't a problem for him in the fully populated, normal world.]

[good_ideas]

It could be the next one. Or the fiftieth one.

[But surely there will be one...?]

[asano_san]

Great. I'll find a person to appreciate me when I'm 30.

[good_ideas]

Better late than never.

[asano_san]

At least I'll have my powerful danger egg.

[good_ideas]

You could always put it in a baby sling and hope that someone likes seeing your domestic side.

[asano_san]

I don't want to carry the egg around and drop it.

[good_ideas]

That's why you'll put it in a sling. It'll be safe unless you trip and land on it or something.

[asano_san]

You really think it will make girls appreciate my domestic side and not just wonder who the freak is with the egg in a sling?

[good_ideas]

Of course~

[Why does anyone believe her?]

At the very least they'll probably stop and talk to you out of curiosity.

[asano_san]

Talking to me out of curiosity sounds like the freak with an egg option!

[good_ideas]

And that-

[She continues, smoothly:] Is when you dazzle them with your domestic skills and with you much you love your weird egg.

[asano_san]

That makes sense.

[It shouldn't.]

I hope this egg is ready to travel!

[good_ideas]

I'm sure it is. I believe in you! [Also she just needs a laugh right now.]

[asano_san]

Do you think there's anything else I need to do with the egg?

[Before or after it goes on tour.]

[good_ideas]

Maybe you could draw a cute bow on it? Give it a name? I don't know... dad things.

[Her dad is tsundere like her so she doesn't use him as a role model.]

[asano_san]

Oh, I already have a name for it. Someone else I was talking to about the egg came up with it.

[Drumroll, please.]

Little Keigo.

[good_ideas]

So... when you want to show your egg to people...

[And it's just conjecture at this point because she is, of course, a pure and gentle maiden...]

Are you going to ask people if they want to see "Little Keigo"? That's brave.

[Does he not realize how that sounds.............?]

[asano_san]

[Sorry, but there is a strict divide in his mind between his monster egg baby and his junk, so no. He doesn't.]

Why is it brave? You're the one who told me to go out and meet people with it!

[good_ideas]

Not with a name like that. It doesn't sound like something you [specifically him] would name your...

[A long, long pause and then:] "Egg".

[asano_san]

I didn't think it sounded that good at first, but I haven't thought of anything better.

[good_ideas]

...Absolutely anything would have been better. Hermione, Pochi, Spot... Anything.

[asano_san]

Keigo's a good name! How are any of those any better?

[good_ideas]

Well... they don't sound like you're referring to... [A pause and then she lifts one hand to her own cheek as if she was actually capable of being embarrassed in a situation like this.]

...something you have no business referring to in front of polite company.
