🃏: Senku-chan, we’re good friends, aren’t we?
🧪: Why are you getting gross all of a sudden?
🃏: So ean-may! I just wanted to ask you for a favor.
🧪: Pff, should have started with that. What do you want me to re-invent this time? Mirinda?
🃏: No, no… It’s about helping me out rather than re-inventing something.
🧪: Okay? So, what is it? Stop beating around the bush and—
🃏: Can you help me choose my fiancée?
🧪: Hah?! Mentalist, I’m a scientist, not a matchmaker.
🃏: I know, I know! It’s just… I got all these requests and I don’t know who to pick! I’d usually go with the prettier one and call it a day but at this point, I really want to settle down, you know? So~, who better than my favorite scientist to help me sort this out?
🧪: You’re insane, ask someone else.
🃏: But Senku-chan! You know I would help you out with it if our roles were reversed.
🧪: That’s completely different. First of all, I have no intention of choosing a fiancée and secondly, if for whatever reason I ever did, I would only ask for your advice because you’re a mentalist… That’s kind of /your/ thing!
🃏: I’m not just asking you this as a scientist, although I’m hoping you have some sciencey way to help me, I’m asking you this as a friend. This is important to me.
🧪: Tsk, you have lots of other friends. Ask Ukyo, for example. I bet he would be much happier to help.
🃏: I did, but I want your opinion as well.
🧪: Fine… Did you print their profiles or…?
🃏, taking out the copies from his bag: Yup~! I wrote down my notes from our interviews along with their basic information. No pictures though, not that you would care about that anyway~.
🧪, taking them and starting to read them: No, not really. Okay, these three, out.
🃏: So fast!
🧪: I don’t want to waste more time than the necessary on this.
🃏: At least read them first!
🧪: I did! This one comes from a rich family, which might be something that interests a superficial man like you, but she’s too greedy. You will probably end up with a headache from dealing with her constant demands for more. Then this one has a similar background to yours, being a former celebrity and all that, but I think you’d be better off with someone with more contact with the real world.
🃏: The entertainment industry /is/ part of the real world.
🧪: You know what I meant by that. You need someone more grounded… Like this one, who is a lot more calm and mature than the other two. However, she seems a better fit for a friend than a wife. Even in your description, you don’t sound attracted to her at all.
🃏: I could… eventually—
🧪: Or you could waste both of your time.
🧪, taking another profile from the pile: Alright, this one is too impulsive, will also tire you out, and with this one, it sounds like you’re babysitting rather than dating.
🃏: Now you’re just being mean.
🧪: Hey, you asked for my help. Now zip it.
🧪, continues to discard profiles until there’s only one left: In theory, she would be the best option. You both have a fair amount of things in common to bond over, but she has strengths in what you lack, and vice versa.
🃏: Sounds promising~.
🧪: But! She’s either a liar or you made her up. I would have known if there was a scientist with her qualifications… Could have really helped us out at the main lab.
🃏: Maybe she was just recently unpetrified.
🧪: Doubt it.
🃏: Well… Whatever the case might be, if she made it this far, she might still be worth checking out. Who better than a liar for another liar~?
🧪: That’s stupid.
🃏: Well, if you have any better ideas, then I’m all ears, Senku-chan.
🧪: Ugh… if you are that desperate to get married, then fine. I’ll do it.
🃏: Very funny.
🧪: I’m serious. Compared to the other candidates you brought, I’m a much better option.
🃏: Except for the fact that I want an actual marriage, not just signing up some papers and then continuing acting the same as always.
🧪: Yeah, I know. We can definitely do that.
🃏: Wouldn’t that be a lot of wasted time for you though?
🧪: I already choose to spend most of my free time with you anyway. If you think about it, the only thing that would change is how we spend it.
🃏: And you would be fine with that?
🧪, staring at 🃏as if he was an idiot: I wouldn’t be offering it otherwise.
🧪: Anyway— [breaks the pages and throws them to the trash bin]
🃏, scandalized: Senku-chan!!
🧪: What? Haven’t we settled this already?
🃏: But that has to be the worst wedding proposal ever!
🧪: As you didn’t planned this from the beginning.
🧪: They were all made up, weren’t they?
🃏: Maybe~. Honestly, I was surprised when you ended up choosing the one based on you.
🧪: Ah, that makes sense— Wait, who were the others?
🃏: Nobody you need to worry about~.
🧪: 🙂
