Normally I would be happy at being told I carry a noble aura but I presume that it doesn't work in my favor in this context...
[ An embarrassed laugh. Nothing he's particularly offended about, truly. This is par for the course of being a Suou. And while he'd normally take great pride in it, it does feel sad that it creates a barrier of sorts sometimes, especially with friends.
That aside, the word 'newbie' specifically catches his attention, being reminiscent of his earlier days in Knights. Of course being an idol and playing video games are by no means of equal weight. But if Tsukasa was able to work through his own inexperience to become a competent idol, surely he should know better than folding at the mere suggestion of a roadblock. ]
But I understand. Perhaps I am so caught up with wanting to impress my friends that I forget nothing is achieved without putting effort into it. Speaking this way does a disservice to the kindness of my friends as well. In fact, if I only approached them with more honesty, perhaps I wouldn't have made myself this frustrated...
[ Hence he feels lucky he has Jun to listen to him in this regard. To at least get him out of the hole he's inadvertently digging himself in out of stubborness. For now, as if visibly lightened by the conversation, the furrow of his brows relax and he's able to smile with excitement again. ]
Ah, most gacha games nowadays do offer the opportunity to play with friends, don't they? Perhaps that is a good alternative! Although I do not wish to worry my parents about my game spending again...
[ Help he has the money to actually whale hard, don't get him back into this rabbit hole, Jun...
As for the brief look at Jun's childhood, Tsukasa has to admit it's a bit perplexing. Discarding anything that didn't have anything to do with idols... does that mean his senior came from a family steeped in the idol industry? He won't say he's particularly well-versed in idol history to know, but perhaps he'll look up the name 'Sazanami' later. ]
I see. Sazanami-senpai's parents must've been very dedicated to ensuring you become an idol. I imagine it wasn't an easy path. But as you have said earlier, I am glad we now have the opportunity to make up for the lost time! And surely I shouldn't be wasting such a time sulking about a lost video game match.
[ That's why! He picks up the controller again and, with eyes positively sparkling: ]
Shall we have another match, senpai? This time, I only wish to play for fun!
