Shipping the SDRA2 Cast With Each Other

Kasarobi/Shinji Kasai x Emma Magorobi

When Emma had free time while everyone else was busy, even her Void friends, she would stay inside her room and watch movies on the screen there. There was always a projector there to make the room look like a movie theatre, and she had managed to rig it up to play actual movies.

Today, she was watching a classical movie that her parents had recommended that she watch once, Black Beauty, a nice story about a horse. Emma liked animals, so she had been meaning to watch this movie for quite a while now. She barely had much time in her past to watch it on her own.

Halfway through the movie, she heard the sound of loud banging coming from the hallway. The actress, getting irritated by this noise after a while, finally paused the movie and decided to head out into the hall to investigate.

To her surprise, she saw Shinji with a toolbox beside him, hammering at the window. A bit of the window frame seemed to be crooked, and Shinji was holding that part it his hand while hammering with the other.

"Shinji? What are you doing?" She questioned, getting the firefighter's attention. She regretted speaking very quickly as Shinji turned a bright shade of red and began stammering again like he did when girls talked to him.

"O-Oh, it's Emma... I-I didn't expect you to come out..." He stuttered as he looked down at the floor in embarrassment. "W-Was it the noise that bothered you? Sorry about th-that..."

"...You're not answering my question." Emma sighed and decided to remind him as she looked at what he was holding. "What are you doing, hammering at the window like that?"

"Um, the w-windowsill broke while I was l-leaning on it, a-and Monocrow ordered me to fix it s-since it was an accident..." Shinji closed his eyes and hugged himself. "I'm s-so ashamed..."

"Well, in my opinion, juggling holding the windowsill while hammering isn't really safe at all." The actress remarked. "How about I hold the sill in place while you hammer it? That will get your work done much faster!"

Shinji looked surprised by this suggestion as Emma came closer to the window. "A-Are you sure? I can handle it..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure! I don't have anything else to do right now anyway, so I might as well help out!" The actress assured, and she got down on her knees in order to hold up the bottom of the windowsill.

With Emma's hands holding the wood still, Shinji was able to hold the nails better and hammer them down with a lot more accuracy, just like the actress had told him. The firefighter worked in silence, save for the sound of hammering, until he managed to finish reattaching the bottom of the windowsill about ten minutes later.

"Well, that was rather fast! I told you it would work if I helped!" Emma chirped, letting go of the wood and standing up again. "I'll need to wash my coat though, it's covered in wood shavings."

"O-Oh, sorry about that..." Shinji apologized yet again, but Emma quickly shushed him.

"You know, I wonder if the workout room is available to us right now. An actress does need to keep her strength up, after all." She suggested. "I could go for a bit of a workout right now. What about you?"

"Oh, a workout? That's not a bad idea." Shinji seemed to get more confident when there were topics that he was good at being brought up. Emma knew that he was slowly getting better with speaking to girls, and everyone was happy for this. "Let's go change into our exercise outfits, and I'll wait for you at the stairs."

With a pleased nod, Emma left the windowsill and went back into her own room, happy to change into her exercise outfit and tie up her hair into a ponytail. When she left her room and went to the stairs, she spotted Shinji already changed and waiting on the third floor next to the stairs. She descended them as Shinji joined her, and they went down to the first floor to exercise.

While they were walking through the halls, they saw Setsuka walking with Nikei while chatting to each other. "...And then the dude said 'No, you're MY bitch.' and my grandma slapped that man half to Jesus!" She finished, and Nikei laughed. The billiards player then noticed Shinji and Emma walking in their exercise outfits, and she seemed to get an idea.

Nikei recognized that look on her face and frowned. "No, Setsuka, we are not going to work out. I swear, if you drag me into this- Setsuka!" He suddenly began to shout as Setsuka dragged him towards the stairs.

"Oh, looks like they'll be joining us for our workout!" Shinji happily cheered. "The more the merrier, as they say!"

"Well, we may have to plan Nikei's funeral soon." Emma joked, knowing how weak the journalist was. "Oh well, it's not like he can escape anyway!"
