No. 001 - Simple Addition [Written]

[reminded]

[It's about time to give this device a go. In neat, legible writing is simply the following:]

5 + 5 + 5 = 550

It appears I have my arithmetic out of sorts. However, it would be a shame to scrap the equation entirely. Can you help me correct it by adding a single straight line?

[ she's.. so nice... ]

Sure, feel free to take it any way you want to.

[Fine then, he will!!]

Now then, I think I should take my leave. Before I go, might I have your name?

[entreats]

Sure, as long as you do nothing weird with it. [ of course she doesn't mean it seriously, it's just.. ange being ange. ]

It's Ange. Ange Ushiromiya.

[You puzzle him with that remark, madam, but he'll just let that one go.]

Hershel Layton. I've enjoyed speaking with you, Ange.

[entreats]

[ Heh. Puzzle.



Okay, puns aside, there's a moment where Ange actually hesitates before she writes back - it's not often that anyone says that to her, she's more used to hearing the exact opposite.. Okay, Ange, still just pretend to be all cool and calm, you can do this!! ]

I guess this is where I'm supposed to say thanks for the compliment. [ Thank god for making text so much easier to hide feelings behind. ]

[reminded]

[Completely oblivious to Ange's struggle with kawaiiness, Layton takes her half-met gratitude as thing of relatively easy production for her.]

Oh, no. The pleasure is all mine. [If he were in person, he'd tip his hat.] Good day, Ange.
