  Summary

  Cuilang kept to himself these days. It was safer that way. Daybreak Technologies, the company that built him, would spare no expense in their efforts to recover him. Thus, he only spoke to humans when it was necessary, like when he needed to make a purchase or participate in correct conduct when he walked the streets. He never lingered. He rarely saw the same face twice, and he was diligent in making sure no one saw him more than three times.

  Cuilang was currently pushing the limits of that last rule, but the dancer never seemed to notice him.

  Summary

  “Their souls are all mixed up! Right now, this is Ikaruga, and that’s Cuilang,” Mokoshiro said.

  Ikaruga looked helplessly at Subaru. “It’s true,” he said. “I didn’t know. I knew he always felt different, but I didn’t want to pry… I only meant to utilize my art to borrow my katashiro as a body to seek out the enemy, not—I didn’t know Cuilang is a doll.” He paused. It was getting hard to think through the haze of panic. “Please help him, he—suffering from shock. Immediate care required. Move patient somewhere sheltered, safe, and warm. I—why did I say-say-say-say—ERROR.”

  Summary

  Kai clapped Cuilang on the shoulder hard. “Well? How was your wedding night?”

  “Very pleasant,” Cuilang said.

  Kai rolled his eyes. “Details, man! What’d you do after you got home?”

  “Subaru and I went to bed,” Cuilang said.

  Kai waited.

  When it was clear Cuilang had nothing else to add, he clutched one of his horns tightly. “That’s supposed to be the part where you ravish him! Where you go all night because you just got married and you can’t keep your hands off each other anymore! No wonder you need my help.”

  Summary

  It was unseasonably hot in Autumn Village, and Subaru and Cuilang were taking refuge in the latter’s basement.

  “That’s cool,” Subaru whispered, drawing a large white box then watching it disappear against the brown background when he lifted his finger.

  Cuilang laughed at him.

  Subaru spun around, eyes narrowed as he bit back a smile. “What are you laughing at?” he said.

  “Your fascination with such a basic function is amusing. It’s like watching a cat with string.”

  Subaru punched him gently in the shoulder, knowing he wouldn’t feel it. Cuilang laughed again, just as stilted and genuine as the first time.

  Subaru held out the computer mouse toward him. “Well, I don’t know how any of this works, so you’ll have to show me what you think is cool,” he said.
