Remember that stuff about me being a bunch of legends? Well, compared to the real thing up there, there's no room for those legends to exist. [ Said plainly, unbothered. As much a fact of life as the sun rising in the morning. ] Me being summoned at all is a miracle that only happens once or twice at most, and only for a limited time. That's why I'm gonna enjoy myself while I still can.
[ As if he hadn't just dropped that bombshell (or perhaps, entirely because of it): ] That reminds me! I protected your side of the kitchen from regular sis Ringo earlier. I know I wasn't much [ any ] help with the cooking, but I stood guard the whole time. Feel free to praise me!
