[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.]

[teddious]

Yes! A girl and guy going together somewhere is a date, right? [Yes, his knowledge about this kind of stuff is actually a bit lacking despite his interest in it.]

[all_wound_up]

Don't you have to be boyfriend and girlfriend first?

[teddious]

Do you? [He hadn't really heard about that.] Hmm. [Now he is seriously torn about it.]

I think I went on a date with the girls without being their boyfriend? [Though that totally wasn't a date, not that Teddie knew that.]

[all_wound_up]

You dated more than one girl at once?

[teddious]

Oh yes. Chie-chan has promised to go on a date with me. I asked the other girls if they are okay with it and they decided to come along. We went shopping! It was a lot of fun. [Does this really sound like a date, though?]

[all_wound_up]

Is that really a date? It sounds like just hanging out with friends.

[teddious]

I-it does? [He sounds genuinely surprised here.]

But they said it's a date. [Were they lying to him? That was so mean.]

[all_wound_up]

I thought dating involved k-k-ki... kis...

[Can't quite get that last word out.]

[teddious]

Does it? I thought a guy and a girl going somewhere together was a date. [Nobody told him about a kiss! That wasn't fair. He would get them to buy something if he returns to their world!]

[all_wound_up]

But what if they're just friends? That wouldn't be a date, then.

[teddious]

It wouldn't? Why not? [He's getting seriously disillusioned here.]

[all_wound_up]

Because dates are supposed to be romantic!

[teddious]

I think it was romantic!

[all_wound_up]

It's important to consider what the other person thinks too, though.

[teddious]

What the other person thinks, too... [Hmm.]

But if they agreed that it is a date, shouldn't it be a date? [This was more complicated than he thought!]

[all_wound_up]

If you both call it a date, then it's a date.

[teddious]

See? Then it was a date, after all!

[all_wound_up]

I guess it was!

[teddious]

So, are we having a date as well then, Nano-chan?

[all_wound_up]

W-what, right now?

[teddious]

Yes, of course! When we go together to an onsen...

[all_wound_up]

Together? B-but the men's and women's baths are separate...

[teddious]

Oh. [What a disappointment!]

Well, we can still have a date, even with separated baths!

[all_wound_up]

[It's the Amagi Inn, Teddie, you knew this!!]

Even though we've just met today?

[teddious]

[He did. Chances are he already forgot about this detail at this 'shocking' revelation.]

Sure, why not? You have to take risks to encounter happiness!

[Well, for him it was a first-hand experience. After all, he had been scared to step into the human world, but doing so was one of his greatest choices so far in his life.]
