tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness.

// evil bot that likes all posts that have that face attached to it

( He raises his palm to his face and stares at it for a long, long time. Something between relief and awe. He smiles as he lowers it, trying to be extra careful not to smudge it. )

It seems kind of silly, but...

Yeah, I'll believe that. Thank you.

( fearfully ) Oh alright.

Why did you say it like that

I permit you to call me Gudao.

Gudako, why have you named yourself after the root of all evil?

Thanks, that doesn't help even remotely.

If it helps, Gudao's female counterpart, Gudako, is the root of all evil and a creature formed of sin. So having an uncomfortable fetish is a lot better off.

Oh, uh... Sure?

( He offers her his hand, just the slightest bit perplexed. )

I was just about to make a comment thanking Chaldea for never saying anything strange to me. Luckily, you remedied that before I had the chance to cast a hex upon myself.

This is Gudao. His special interest is sex with feminine men.

Captain.

They were calling me the evil Ritsuka when they met me. Maybe it's like... Deeper. Like in my soul maybe...

The regular portion of Chaldea discussing lies and truths.

Meanwhile the other Ritsuka's B plot:

// "Why didn't I direct him into the pit?" There was no pit. You lied to him.

💭why didn't I directed him into the pit?

The day we met, I think.

Canary once saved my life by verbally navigating me around a pit that she was not responsible for creating while my eyes were closed. ( If I opened my eyes it would have irreversibly tarnished our bond. )

Yes ma'am.

I just believe everything you say because you would never lead me astray.

You never lie, Ritsuka.

Apparently reached a level of trustworthiness where even when I'm being blatantly sarcastic, people just start taking what I say at face value.

A Fujimaru without crossdressing is like cake without frosting.

Yeah I've never cross-dressed in my life.

He might be dead.
