"N.. not in any case?" This was definitely going to be a tall order. Not that Sayuri wouldn't try to keep to that advice all the same since it was one of her senpai telling her it, but still, saying sorry usually came to her so naturally..

"I'm not sure if I'm entirely allowed to judge though whether other people are being.. um.. out of line or not though.."

Really obviously trying to avoid repeating words like "insensitive bitch" there, yes.

"Um, yeah, of course not in any case!" Yuri said leaning in again, that directness back,

"And what do you mean you're not allowed to judge other people? Everybody does! If you feel uncomfortable, you should say so. If you're feeling like someone's pushing to hard you should shove back. And if you think someone's out of line, you should speak up and remind insensitive bitches and bastards of their boundaries. This is another directive."

"S-.. senpai, that's.."

.. Going too far, but putting it that bluntly felt rude.. So Sayuri tried to quickly - even with her panicked thoughts - find an alternative way of putting it that wouldn't come across as blunt.

"That might be.. um.. a little too harsh.."

There was the urge to try and hide behind the books again. If only it was a feasible option, really.

"I don't see why," Yuri replied, with a slight shrug of her shoulder and a dismissive gesture that implied she really didn't. "All you're doing is speaking your mind. Which is much better than making things awkward for you and the other person when it comes out that they went out of line."

How was she supposed to answer to that? She should probably explain that the polite thing to do was to not speak up and speak out of turn, but on the other hand, Sayuri didn't really know how to put that either.. it was like this whole conversation was just about her trying to avoid saying certain things, huh?

".. If you say so, senpai."

Yeah, she was exactly doing what Yuri was talking about there at the end, but Sayuri didn't really care. She just had to do what was expected of her, after all.

[truthdealer]

Something flickered on Yuri's face for a moment. It looked strangely blank and unreadable before Yuri 'hmphed' and said, "Whatever. Just remember to do what I say and you'll be fine. Got that?"

Not waiting for a reply, she adjusted her hat and reached for a card that'd been tucked in it. It was actually a small stack, on closer inspection, and on it was neatly printed kanji 'KURASHIKI YURI - SCHOOL PRESS AND INFORMATION SERVICES'. She grinned as she held it out to the other girl, "Here. If you want to talk more or if you want a little bit of knowledge at your disposal."

Sayuri took the card from the other girl with a small nod, her gaze immediately falling to it to read the letters on it. Kurashiki Yuri, huh.. Sayuri might not be the kind of person to go out of her way to seek out contact with others necessarily since she sucked so much at it, but the thing about knowledge might come in handy in the future. Maybe they'd have to investigate something at some point to do business related to that other world.. although then there would be the problem of thinking how to ask Yuri's help without her noticing what for. But that was all just a hypothetical if scenario, either way.

"Thank you, I won't forget it.." A small bow followed. "I should get back to reading now though before it gets late."
