[What can be seen is a certain redhead tilting his head, staring into the camera. He turns the journal in his hands, and at random intervals he's upside down- or just on his side. Eventually, Battler figures out which way it's supposed to go, and that it's been recording for a while.]

Ahh.... what's all this anyways? Put in a random place, wings on my back- given a journal to... to what? Communicate with the locals? Don't give me that!

Oi oi oi! You witcheeeees! Is this some sick joke...?! I was in the middle of a game, you know! I was doing something-! No no... I had something to do, a promise to fulfill to someone!

[A frown, but it could look like a pout.] ...It's useless... it's all useless...what do you want me to do, introduce myself or something? Okay, fine- I'll play your sick game you damn witches.

I'm Battler Ushiromiya, and I'm not about to take any of this lying down....!!

[Keiichi just pouts at her with puppy eyes. He just wanted to tease his brother-in-law a bit, come on, if he wanted to rile him up he would do a much better job. He looks back at Battler normally in an instant though.]

And the part about "no touching the wings"?

[and he's forever oblivious.]

I don't... really know about experiments or drafts... and oh yeah! Touch the wings and you can get sick or die!

[ fine, fine, boyfriend, you're forgiven.. ]

Yeah, so no touching them. But if you don't know about the experiments or drafts, you've skipped over some of the most important information. You'll get yourself in trouble at this rate, you know. [ the last part sounds maybe just sliiightly scolding but she's just worried, okay, doesn't want to lose her brother again or see him hurt. ]

Either way, the Malnosso often carry out kinds of experiments on us, except they're usually different all the time.. They can screw around with our appearance, our personality, our thoughts or even our memories.

[Yay, he has been forgiven!!]

No, no, it's not you "can get", you will get sick and you will die if they are ripped out, no way around it.

[Waving a hand, he agrees with Ange in that it's not that important but it's still kind of vital information. And he does have the need to clarify about it. Anyway, moving on to the experiments he nods at her description, biased and "Malnosso are the enemy" settled but there's no way around it. They certainly aren't the best allies either.]

The least they have done is make the village change its appearance, a house would be a huge castle but when entering it it would be an elevator, and such. The most they have done is... I think it's a tie between the monster rain, the moon crushing the village and making everyone think they were born in Luceti and had lived here forever and were related to each other.

[Battler stared at the two of them.... completely calm...

Eehhhhh?!? They can do thaaaat?! No way no way! I changed my mind! I want out-! [he holds his head!!]

Guuuoooggghh! This is useless! It's so useless!!

[ Ange - (un)fortunately? - is at least a little used to this sort of behaviour from her older brother, so she doesn't look too surprised when he suddenly starts despairing out of nowhere.

But because she's so used to it, she's also inclined to not take it too seriously, because.. well, she knows Battler is a big boy, he could handle the experiments, and besides, she's here to help him too, so.. it's not that big of a problem.

Maybe that's why she instead tries to get him to stop acting like a complete idiot by saying something that's actually more of a joke. ]

Ah, so you're going to leave me again already, onii-chan? [ completely innocent tone. ]
