Episode 12: Interactions with Ortho Tsum II
Ignihyde Dorm - Idia's Room
Ortho Ortho	Tsum, I'll keep you steady while holding you up, so just try moving your legs in the direction you want to move.
Ortho Tsum perks up Squeaaak...
Ortho Ortho	Yep, looks good. The controller is moving in sync with your leg movements smoothly.
Ortho Tsum bounces
Ortho Ortho	What's wrong, Tsum? Do you want to get down?
Ortho Tsum approaches Ortho
Ortho Ortho	Ah! No, Tsum! Don't pull on my anti-gravity equipment. I understand that you're really excited waiting, but I need you to hold on just a little longer, okay? Big brother should also be done with the final adjustments for you very soon. After that, you can fly as much as you want!
Ortho Tsum jumps
Ortho Ortho	Thanks for understanding! Shall we check in on big brother then?
Idia Idia	Initiating virtual test run number 26 of TFLY-001 external flight device for Tsums, now… Maximum load limit during flight is within acceptable range, no issues with execution, and the energy efficiency is… 87%? AAAAHHHH, absolutely horrendous! I refuse to accept an energy efficiency as half-baked as this!
Ortho Ortho	Big brother, how are the final tweaks coming along?
Idia Idia	Still got a long way to go! I just can't overlook this awful energy efficiency. If this is how it is, then I'll redo the layout from scratch…
Ortho Ortho	It's already more than enough for a short flight or so, you know. After all, it's not like the Tsum's going to loop around Sage's Island…
Ortho Tsum getting tired
Ortho Ortho	The Tsum seems to have gotten tired of waiting too. It'd been trying to remove my anti-gravity equipment earlier and all…
Idia Idia	Wha-, terrifying. No but for me personally…
Ortho Ortho	In the first place, it's pretty rare for one of big brother's designs to produce values this low too… I'll give it a quick scan and checkup, okay?
Beep beep beep…
Ortho Ortho	Ah! There's a minor printing error occurring in one of the magicircuits in the second layer of the internal multi-layer circuit board. It's not significant enough to affect the device's function, but this could be the reason for the reduced energy efficiency, perhaps?
Idia Idia	Aaahh, so it's a fault on the printer's end, huh. Can't inspect the multi-layer circuit board directly for mistakes, so that's a problem. Printer set up and disposal are both a real pain so I really don't wanna have to… But it looks like it's about time we get a new replacement. Reprint. Reinitiate virtual test run… Energy efficiency improved to 96%. Eh, guess this passes.
Ortho Ortho	That's a relief! I'll go ahead and assemble it with the controller I made then! You can fly with this, Tsum!
Kachuck!
Ortho Ortho	The Tsum doesn't appear any different from before since I downsized the device as much as possible to minimise discomfort when it's worn.
Idia Idia	It's absolute nonsense for such a squishy body to get squashed to rigidity by a machine, after all. Nice foresight, Ortho.
Ortho Ortho	Let's start it up right away then.
Ortho Tsum floats
Ortho Ortho	Looking good. I think it's safe to say that it has no problems with levitation at least. Next will be to check if it can fly freely… Give it a shot, Tsum!
Ortho Tsum zoom
Ortho Ortho	It's detecting the Tsum's leg movements and weight shifts before automatically turning towards the direction it wants to go. The advancing system's status is… Looking perfect. The Tsum looks like it's enjoying it too. We could even go ahead and try flying outside together right away.
…!
Idia Idia	Huh? Sir Tsum suddenly came back down after making it to the ceiling…
Ortho Ortho	What's wrong, Tsum?
Ortho Tsum pulling Ortho and Idia
Ortho Ortho	You're pulling big brother and me to you? Ah, are you perhaps… I think the Tsum wants to fly in the sky with the two of us, big brother.
Idia Idia	Sir Tsum wants to?
Ortho Ortho	Well it is identical to me, so that's a given. Right, Tsum?
Ortho Tsum bounces very happy
Idia Idia	Whaa… Isn't it fine for me in particular to skip out on flying? Plus I'm actually feeling eepy since I've barely slept… Yaaaa~wn… Also, I don't have any flight gear or the like to use… You're not about to tell me to get my broom to join you two, right?
Ortho Ortho	In that case I'll just carry you and fly, big brother.
Idia Idia	Whaaat?!
Ortho Ortho	Since the Tsum can be here with us having fun right now, I'd also be really happy if big brother could join us! Or is that not possible?
Idia Idia	Urk… …Okay, fine. But only for ten… No, five minutes is all I got, alright?
Ortho Ortho	Yay! Let's set off together, Tsum!
Ortho Tsum bounces extremely happy
Sky
Idia Idia	…Okay but, did we really need to go this high up in the sky…?
Ortho Ortho	I was just following after the Tsum and we ended up all the way past the clouds before we knew it.
Ortho Tsum bounces happy
Ortho Ortho	The Tsum is happy! That means all that hard work big brother spent making the flight device was worth…
Idia Idia	…Zzz……
Ortho Ortho	Big brother dozed off it seems. I guess it's about time we headed back too. …Thank you, Tsum.
Ortho Tsum perks
Ortho Ortho	To be able to fly in the sky with big brother… It's all thanks to the impetus you created for us. That flight device is yours now, Tsum. It's the pride of big brother and I… Take good care of it even after you go back, okay?
Ortho Tsum bounces super happy
Ortho Ortho	Great! Now then… Let's make a detour on the way back to the room for a bit, shall we?
