[Teddie had long contemplated if he should appear on the video as his real self or in his human form. In the end, a blond young man with a smile on his face is shown on the feed.]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of Hinoto-Ri. My name is Teddie and I've just arrived here. Since it's my first time in this city, would anybody be willing to be my tour guide? [He could probably do it himself, but that would feel really lonely.]

I especially don't mind if a pretty lady escorts me. [If anybody thinks now they have seen sparkles, it was probably not only their imagination.]

There are hot springs here?!

[He indeed has.]

Hot springs, hot springs! Can we go into the hot springs?

[all_wound_up]

If you want to! I'm the manager there, so I can show you around.

[Also it's the Amagi Inn, so it'll be nice and confusingly familiar.]

[teddious]

Oooh, the manager even. That reminds me of a precious friend of mine.

[There's an obvious glint of happiness in his eyes.]

But yes, I would love you to show me around there!

[Oh, he really will be confused... or assume all the inns look the same.]

[all_wound_up]

Really? Was her name Yukiko Amagi?

[Nano's face lights up too. Maybe this is someone else Yukiko knew!]

[teddious]

Yes, Yuki-chan is a real beauty and-

[Wait a moment there!]

You know Yuki-chan? How? Is she here? [But if she was, why didn't she greet him?]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano shakes her head sadly.]

She's not here... not anymore. But she was for a while. And her family's inn is here, too.

[teddious]

... I see.

[So she wasn't here. That was kind sad.]

But her inn is here? Why is it suddenly here? [Perhaps asking for the how would have been the smarter choice.]

[all_wound_up]

This city brings people and places from other worlds.

[teddious]

Even places? That is amazing! I've never heard of a world that could do that!

[all_wound_up]

It is pretty amazing, isn't it?

[teddious]

It is! [Just how many worlds could do that?]

And you have taken over Yuki-chan's inn.. that-that must be fate!

[all_wound_up]

Huh? Fate?

[teddious]

Yes. Fate has destined us to meet! [Don't take him seriously, Nano.]

[all_wound_up]

Right... I guess it has!

[Nope, Nano's cheerfully gullible.]

[teddious]

[Oh Nano, just be careful. He is fairly convinced they are going on a date now.]

When does Nano-chan have time to show me around?

[all_wound_up]

[Poor Nano has no idea.]

I have some time now if you'd like.

[teddious]

[Hopefully, she won't have any regrets.]

Really? That is awesome, Nano-chan! Then I'll wait in front of the Pisces Ward!

[all_wound_up]

I'll meet you there.

[Nano smiles into the feed, nodding. And soon enough, there she is, waving at Teddie from about a block away.]

Teddie-san!

[teddious]

Alright, thank you, Nano-chan!

[He goes outside, waiting until he spots her before he waves back.]

Nano-chan, hello! [The thing on her back becomes a bit more notable now. Perhaps it was a fashion statement?]

[all_wound_up]

Hello, Teddie-san!

[Nano smiles, slowly jogging up to where he's standing.]

I hope you didn't wait too long for me.

[teddious]

I didn't, but I would never mind waiting for a cute girl in the first place.

[Were there sparkles? Yes, there were probably sparkles.]

[all_wound_up]

Cute? Me?

[It doesn't take much to get Nano all flustered, and she immediately blushes at the compliment, the key in her back starting to spin of its own accord.]

[teddious]

Yes, of course. Nano-chan is cute.

[Aww, did nobody tell her that? How rude! They should let her - oh. Wait, did it start to move? He blinks a little.]

What do you have there on your back, Nano-chan?

[all_wound_up]

O-oh, this?

[Nano turns to the side, just now noticing that her key was turning. Which of course causes her to blush even more.]

Um... it's my key. It doesn't really do anything, but someone very important gave it to me.

[teddious]

[Oh, she was going all red. Whoever that was, they must be very important to her.]

Oh, so you are always carrying it with you? That's neat! And it can move on its own?
