Benny and Curo/Background

## Character Files

### Their Experiences

It was the early morning and the Colossus was already noisy enough to wake the dead... Still in a trance from my sleep, I heard an explosion or something that jolted me right out of the bed. I rushed to the scene and saw it was more intense than I imagined. No, not exactly an explosion, but even worse...
When I got there, I saw a short, black-haired girl holding a red-haired girl with double ponytails by her head, with the latter shouting, "Let me! Let me do it!" The sight woke me up right then and there. Aren't they Miss Curo and Miss Benny?
It turned out they were only fighting over who got to do the introduction. I knew I saw them somewhere before, and once that was over, I went back to bed... Hey, wait, so what was that explosion I heard this morning?——Vice
### Their Story (I)

*Unlock conditions: Reach Affinity Level 2*

Hello, Caelestite. We are Benny and Curo. As you can tell from my outfit, I'm Curo. That rambunctious idiot is Benny. Feel free to ignore her. (Benny: Shut up, you!)
A pleasure to meet you. I can tell you're not an idiot. You seem quiet, so I think we should get along fine. That idiot over there is obnoxious all day long. I probably would have slashed her apart by now if she wasn't my partner. (Benny: What?! Who wants to partner with you, anyway!) We might work together, but as you can see, we are opposites. Frankly, she annoys me a lot, but I have to say that in combat, the idiot's irreplaceable. (Benny: Save it! You call that a compliment??)
### Their Story (II)

*Unlock conditions: Reach Affinity Level 4*

Stupid Curo... If she didn't beat me in rock-paper-scissors, I'd be introducing myself. Who's she calling an idiot, when I'm the one who always came out on top! (Curo: Uh, that's because I'm always letting you win.)
Anyways! I'm Benny. Don't listen to Curo, I'm the strongest! You wouldn't believe my rotten luck to have been paired up with her as soon as I joined Illumina... (Curo: That's my line.) To me, combat is nothing more than charging straight ahead. What's there to think about? I'm the strongest, anyway, so I only have to worry about is how many I can kill! Curo, on the other hand, mulls over strategy, terrain, and whatnot. I just don't get that! At all! If I wasn't held back, I would've fought her! (Curo: You can't beat me either way.)
I never thought we'd be partners. Yeah, it's a curse, but I kinda enjoy it, too.
### Their Story (III)

*Unlock conditions: Reach Affinity Level 6*

Speaking of which, Benny has gotten much stronger since we met. (Benny: Wow, you finally admitted it!) I have never denied how far she's come, but I'm pretty sure she never realized I've improved as well!
For more than a year now, she kept challenging me but never won. However, I'd take it easy on her once in a while to keep her confidence up. (Benny: What are you talking about? I win fair and square, don't even try to deny!) See, I knew she wouldn't believe I go easy on her. Ever since there have been more ties, she's gotten more and more insufferable. Guess I'll have to go all out now.
Despite my demeanor, I do enjoy fighting, and as part of an elite squad for Illumina, I enjoy my time partnering with Benny. Not many people can handle me, after all.
### Their Story (IV)

*Unlock conditions: Reach Affinity Level 8*

That Curo sure can nag and thinks she's better than me because of her battle! True, she is a bit older and more experienced, but I'm not bad, either! She always gets on my case for being reckless, charging into things without looking back... That's because I trusted that she's got my back! (Curo: I have no problem with that, but I hope you can grow out of it.)
I just can't understand why she needs to check the map numerous times before battle, study the terrain days ahead, and even make me count ammo! Why? I never did! I mean, it's not like I couldn't bring more with me! Even when I run out, I still got my hands! Even if I have nothing, I still got her! Anyway, the nagging has to stop... (Curo: You might not have made it this far without my nagging.)
Well... That said, I probably will never get used to her not nagging, though.
