 [those rumors though.

Satou has to address them. Calmly, smoothly, and without digging her own grave:]

I-I'm not having secret love affairs! I would never keep secrets of that degree! I would be really super open, okay? Love isn't something to be ashamed of anyway, right?

Mr Dante, Ms Hikaru, please don't fire me for having gained a weird reputation! It wasn't a secret love affair! It's just sparring and making cake and playing video games! I'm not a bad girl, I promise!

Also, hi Ms Elsa. I haven't met you yet. Let's be friends.

I'm not going to fire you for love affairs, secret or otherwise. What you do on your time is none of my business.

[priceofmagic]

You're the beeeest. I'm sorry this is happening. I'm not trying to tarnish the good name of the Attleton Office.

[lovesopendoors]

Hi! Since you're going to be friends with my sister and I mean I'm sure you two will be amazing friends, she needs more friends and she's amazing and you seem great and I don't think you sound like a bad girl at all... What I was saying is, let's be friends too! I'm Anna!

Ohhh and love is definitely not something to be ashamed of! But that sounds more like a really wild misunderstanding instead of super secret love affairs.

[priceofmagic]

Ms Elsa has a sister? Ooohh... Then yes! We're going to be great friends! I have a sister too! Maybe that's what the rumors meant? Maybe they were confused about all of the sisters here!

Hi, Ms Anna! I'm Satou~!

Kid, what are you talking about?

[priceofmagic]

Everyone is town is saying that I'm having a secret love affair..! That's more exciting than reality!

[Video]

[hot_handed]

You don't have the fucking finesse to pull that off. Why do you even care?

[priceofmagic]

OH YEAH? Watch me, then!

... I-I mean. [huff.] I care about my reputation! I want people to trust me!

[brbgettingwrench]

It's best to not acknowledge it as those who do will potentially keep it up for longer thinking you are saying something because really it's true.

[priceofmagic]

What? Seriously?

Is there really no way to win? I don't like just letting it happen.

[snowballfever]

I would love to be your friend, of course.

Just to be sure we're on the same page, I don't harbor any secret crushes on you. Or anyone, in fact. So, you can rest at ease.

[priceofmagic]

Then we're both victims of groundless rumors! I'm sorry to hear that.

[Satou gives a nervous giggle, realizing she's grinning.] Well. At least I got a friend out of it? It's nice to meet you! Your sister Anna talked to me earlier.

I believe you, but it wouldn't make you a bad girl if you had a relationship that you wanted to keep private until it got more serious. Some people are just private about their personal lives.

[priceofmagic]

I-I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't know... I'm not really cut out for dating anyway, as it turned out.

I just hope no one else gets caught up in weird rumors because of me.

[bigbadrose]

Not all affairs are other people's business. Even when you aren't ashamed, sometimes they're not supposed to be advertised.

Or so I'm told.

[priceofmagic]

[Satou is covering her face in shame regardless.]

What do I do? Who do they think I'm having an affair with? That poor person..!

[Video]

[deadlybang]

It can't, like, be a love affair unless you are, like, currently in a relationship anyway. And it's not, like, any of those rumours have any credibility.

[Except the voodoo one it seems, but even that seems to be triggered due the rumour rather than the other way around.]

People here just, like, seem to love to make up weird rumours from what I've, like, gathered when I asked around.

[priceofmagic]

Mmmmrrgh... What a terrible hobby for a city to have. How mean.

I hope they learn to cut it out someday. It doesn't seem very fun.

[sengokupocky]

Relax, Satou-san. Those rumors are just made up by bored ... people. We know they have no merit. It's best to ignore them. They'll move onto something else.

[ Refrains from calling the people NPCs, which is her interpretation of people without pendants not being real.]

And you're right, there's no shame in love.

[priceofmagic]

Ah, no merit. Right! There's no way they could know about my private life and call me out on it. I do a good job keeping things private.

[myfayevalentine]

*Huh. So what she heard wasn't true. That's a shame - gossip that's true is always good fun*

Well hey, people only spread stuff about other people when they're jealous. So look at it that way - someone is clearly jealous of you, and they think you're cute enough to be homewrecking with love affairs; lucky you!

[priceofmagic]

[That's a way to look at it that Satou hadn't considered.]

... Do people want to wreck homes with love affairs? That sounds tremendously unfortunate.

[draconixaviarix]

Miss Satou, there really is nothing to be ashamed of~

Love is a free spirit and you can do whatever you will with it. I love many people and creatures, and if you wish to keep it secret, then that is your secret as the secret keeper~~

[ There have been rumors of what? Well, now he's grumpy, he doesn't like seeing Satou so distressed. ]

Satou, even if you had an affair that's nobody's business, and anyone who gives you trouble about it deserves some trouble of their own. You're entitled to keeping your private life private.

[Silent screaming!!! Not Mr Cassian!! Anyone can know but him!]

I-I just can’t believe that people think I’m that kind of girl..! I know I had this problem with Shoes and Mikky back home, but I’m being so good this time! I haven’t even kissed anyone!
