Speech Analysis of the Heliobus "Tail"
Main Presenter: Hanya
There are many aspects of a heliobus' personality that are similar to humankind's such as an aversion to saying what they really feel. Therefore, dealing with them requires us to strike at their core using our words.
Huohuo: Suppress the monster... B—But I don't think I've ever had to suppress Tail! I guess we're more like... friends?
Tail: Friends!? Bah! I don't make friends with food.
Cirrus: Hehe, "Mr. Tail," puny fragments like us were deprived of Ignamar's power long ago... If a little girl can subdue us, then perhaps it's time for some humility.
Tail: Shut your trap!
Hanya: Though Tail stated here that he "don't make friends with food," Cirrus saw through his words. In the end, when he said "shut your trap," he had all but confirmed his friendship with Huohuo.
Huohuo: Never knew you were so popular, Mr. Tail...
Tail: Oh, just shut it, will ya?
Hanya: Similar to the situation prior, Tail often uses terms that demand the other party to stop talking, while not truly refuting their statement. Therefore, we can discern his actual appreciation of the comment that he is popular. He was simply unable to speak his thoughts candidly due to his personality, therefore opting for a more roundabout reply.
Tail: ...and as long as you don't drag me down, I don't really care how much of a coward you are, either...
Huohuo: Tail~
Tail: Hey, hey, hey — get away from me...
Hanya: Please note that Tail first states "as long as you don't drag me down" in a cold manner, but immediately follows with the statement that he "don't really care how much of a coward you are." Upon close inspection, it is not difficult to discover the contradictory nature of his statement. Therefore, it can be surmised that he, in fact, cares a lot about Huohuo.
Tail: Cirrus said it themselves. There's a fragile balance when heliobi fuse together.
You know what to do, don't you, Huohuo?
Huohuo: But...
Tail: But what? Aren't you gonna be living the life you've always wanted once I'm gone?
Hanya: In the past, Tail has always emphasized how free and powerful he would become if he left Huohuo behind. However, here he reverted their positions and started to think for Huohuo in her shoes. This is circumstantial evidence that he was not willing to part with her. Mr. Tail has indeed become more like a human during his time with Huohuo.
Huohuo: Mm... According to the Ten Lords, Tail must be supervised by a judge... I'll make sure to take good care of Mr. Tail.
Tail: Tsk, let's see who takes care of who.
Huohuo: ...Besides, when Mr. Tail isn't around, the other heliobi will pick on me. I feel safer when Mr. Tail is here.
Tail: Other heliobi? Hmph, I'm the only heliobus you need to worry about.
Hanya: In this context, "I'm the only heliobus you need to worry about" can be understood as Tail will naturally look after Huohuo while he is with her. In other words, Tail is admitting that he is protecting Huohuo. It is evident that Tail already has a very positive relationship with Huohuo~
Tail: Oh, shut up, you mouthy judge!
