"She's not a human." Seiji used the classical pose of tilting his head forty-five degrees to look up at the sky and acted with melancholy.
"Eh?"
"She merely has a human physical appearance. She's actually a simple doll, without a heart." Seiji decided to copy one of the opening lines from Violet Evergarden.
Hisashi was rendered speechless.
"Cough, I just wanted to play pretend there for a moment. But, I was telling the truth just now. The Idelia you see on the picture isn't a real person." Seiji returned to using a normal expression. "That's why it's impossible for me to introduce her to you. My apologies."
"Oh…" Hisashi paused for a moment. "In that case, how much money would it cost me to purchase such a doll?" He adjusted his eyeglasses, causing his lenses to flash.
Seiji was the one who was rendered speechless for a moment this time.
