Aymur (Armored Hacker 3★)/Character Quest

**Aymur:** Why are you always suggesting such childish things?

*Seeing Aymur standing alone during a break between battles, the commander called out to her.*

**Aymur:** We all know I don't like working on a team, but I have my reasons.

**Aymur:** Did you hear what I just said? Why are you trying to get me to play rock, paper, scissors to decide who's it?

**Aymur:** Listen closely, I do not need other people. Relying on others leads to the corruption and loss of self.

**Aymur:** Are you listening? I refuse to play rock, paper scissors. Put that rock away.

**Aymur:** I'm sorry, but...

**Aymur:** I don't believe that playing tag with everyone counts as training as you say, Commander.

**Aymur:** You say it will strengthen our teamwork?

**Aymur:** Hm...

**Aymur:** So... Are you ordering me to play tag?

**Aymur:** If it is an order, then I have no choice. I will do it.

**Aymur:** Well, then... O-One, two, three...shoot!

**Aymur:** ... So, I'm it?

**Aymur:** What's with that grin? Are you insinuating that when it is a game instead of a real fight, I won't do well?

**Aymur:** Challenge accepted. Okay everyone, you better run fast!

**Aymur:** Remember... My name is Aymur.

**Aymur:** And that name means "exterminator."

**Aymur:** I know tag is just a game, but that does not mean I will go easy on any of you. You will not get away!

*With a shout, Aymur charged after the others like a battle tank, her face expressionless.*

**Aymur:** I apologize in advance.

**Aymur:** I'm not good at capturing without killing. Please forgive me if I injure you.

*The commander ran as fast as possible, worried about what would happen if she caught up.*

### Episode 2: Efficient Lifestyle

**Aymur:** Come back, Commander!

*Realizing who her first target was, the commander ran even faster.*

**Aymur:** You're not as agile as the Princesses and Princes.

**Aymur:** The exterminator Aymur has judged it best to go after the easiest prey first.

**Aymur:** Sorry, Commander, but I've got you now.

**Aymur:** What's that, Commander? Trying to distract me with conversation? Is that your lame attempt at escaping capture?

* Question 1
* Question 2
* Question 3
*"Why do you prefer being alone?"*
**Aymur:** I do not seek out others because I wish to rely on my own spirit.

*"Don't you get lonely all by yourself?"*
**Aymur:** Being alone does not make me lonely at all.

*"Interacting with others can be fun!"*
**Aymur:** I can do everything I need to myself. Therefore, I do not need anyone else.

**Aymur:** It's probably because of the Killium memories, but I do not want to lose any more battle companions.

**Aymur:** So, rather than get close to anyone... It's better to go alone. It's more efficient that way. That is how I feel.

**Aymur:** Anyway, that's enough talking. I'm going to capture you now.

*Aymur touches the commander's back.*

**Aymur:** Now you're it, Commander. So, I will run away as fast as I can.

**Aymur:** You probably think I am stubborn and pig-headed.

**Aymur:** But this is the only way I know how to live.

*The forlorn look she gave before she ran off like a gust of wind tugged at the commander's heartstrings.*

### Episode 2: Vanguard

**Aymur:** Wh-Why are you after me?

*The commander was now "it" and with aching sides continued to chase after Aymur.*

**Aymur:** You'll never catch me. You should give up and chase someone else.

**Aymur:** What? You won't give up? Why not?

**Aymur:** You want to know the real reason I isolate myself?

**Aymur:** I told you the real reason. Things are more efficient when I'm alone.

**Aymur:** The real reason?

**Aymur:** The truth is...

**Aymur:** I don't want to hurt anyone... Or be hurt by them.

**Aymur:** When you become close with someone, you are bound to hurt each other eventually.

* Question 1
* Question 2
* Question 3
*"Friends ease your suffering."*
**Aymur:** Having friends causes pain...but it also heals pain...?

*"When the pain heals, you're even closer."*
**Aymur:** When you repair a relationship with another person, it makes that relationship stronger?

*"Troubles make life more fun."*
**Aymur:** You're saying worrying only about efficiency is boring?

**Aymur:** Other people lead to corruption and loss of self. But friends can make you stronger and ease your pain.

**Aymur:** I told you that I chose you as my target because it was the most efficient choice.

**Aymur:** But in truth, it was probably because I thought it would be fun.

**Aymur:** You are so stubborn. You never gave up on trying to connect with me. This time I've spent with you...has been fun.

**Aymur:** I think...from now on...I will try to approach people myself.

**Aymur:** I will do the same thing you have done for me.

**Aymur:** I think realizing this...has made me stronger.

*Playing tag seemed to have awakened a new skill inside of her.*

**Aymur:** I have acquired a new skill, "Vanguard."

**Aymur:** Thanks, thanks a lot. For making this connection with me.

**Aymur:** Heh, but, I am sorry. Just because you helped clear the clouds from my heart does not mean you will ever catch me.

**Aymur:** I'm off.

*The commander stumbled while reaching out to tag her.*

*The commander's hand fell right onto Aymur's rump.*

*\*Squeeze\**

**Aymur:** !!! Aah!

**Aymur:** Commander! You say my butt is as soft as my heart? How rude!

**Aymur:** Are you trying to distract me from the fact that you just groped me?

**Aymur:** Come back, Commander! I'll make you pay for tarnishing my untarnished behind!

**Aymur:** I'll chop that dirty hand of yours right off your arm!

*With a shout, Aymur charged after the commander like a battle tank.*

*However, her face was no longer expressionless. She looked like she was having fun.*

**Aymur:** You cannot escape! I will chase you to the ends of the earth! I will catch you no matter what, Commander!
