That's sort of the problem...
[He deflates a bit, his demeanor turning slightly awkward as he admits:]
The only karaoke machines I've seen are in those love hotel rooms. The ones at that "Mating Season" place. I'm sure not all the rooms have them, but that's where we've found them. We've also used those rooms for practice before, since some of them have floor-length mirrors. Although now that that university place exists, we can just use the actual rehearsal rooms there, so that's a huge step up.
[The idea of Mating Season pods having singing machines might sound strange to her, but it makes sense to him. Love hotel rooms back in his home country often have them, oddly enough. (How does he know that? No comment!)]
Anyway, we don't have to go there if it makes you uncomfortable. I'll see if there's anywhere else we can find them. If all else fails, you could always buy one! You must have plenty of chips to spare, right? Or perhaps you could get the staff to bring you a karaoke machine free of charge! ♪
[He's not exactly sure how purchases work when you're a "royalty card." Does the staff just shower her with free gifts all the time? If not, they should!
But now time to talk about boys.
Or ogres. Weiss blushing cutely and calling him out on embarrassing her only makes him smile, though he does apologize:]
Fufu, sorry! ♪
[Is he really that sorry?
He's all settled in to hear her talk about the guy she apparently loves, but her description definitely earns an eyebrow-raise. His eyes widen and he repeats:]
An ogre? That sounds scary!
[Should he be concerned??
Apparently not. This person is grumpy, but he's also "really nice and thoughtful!" He's someone who's been splitting a room with Weiss for a while, even before she became a Queen rank, which presumably means she trusts him. And it also shows she has a noble heart—the fact she'd offer to share her living space with someone she can't have known for more than a matter of months, just so they wouldn't have to deal with... er, ghosts, she said? Goodness, he forgot the basement has those.
By the end of her explanation, he's smiling warmly again.]
You're a very sweet girl yourself ♪
[It had to be said first of all.]
He became less grumpy thanks to you, I assume. I sort of had that effect on Jun-kun—he didn't used to smile much, but after being warmed by my sunshine for so long, he became a lot less dark and gloomy! ♪
