[ Is he really an heir? He can't even inherit until he proves himself and snatches away the opportunity from everyone else. ]
aria and iria are okay its not like we have a terrible relationship id fight to protect them and all my mom cares about is that the child is a boy i cant have children
[Whatever fleeting tatters remain of who Matoba was on the outside, he only knows now through the records he had written for himself. But he knows what had been his mission; his driving force.]
[Illogical, Magus thinks. To want to destroy your own family. And yet...]
How interesting. At its base, the purpose of inheritance is to ensure the survival and continuation of one's family. If you're unable to perform that function, I wonder why you'd be chosen?
Well, there's something to be said for other skills and leadership abilities. Perhaps that's why I was chosen, instead of that flawed sister of mine.
who knows you should ask my mom but you cant so it doesnt really matter and it doesnt matter if they wont do the same for me bc we are talking about ME and anything about them is a what-if and useless in this current situation what do you want koto
[ Oria just. Slowly blinks at this. This really reminds him of the time when Mithrun got super weird at him about wanting details of his love life. Maybe... Could it be...? ]
its not really an inheritance if i have to earn my right to get it at least thats how i see it and whos "he" unless you suddenly talk in third person? thats some sort of sign of lunacy you know youre worrying me koto
[Giving second chances is dangerous, Oriade-san. Trust no one.]
So you haven't been officially named.
You're still in the midst of the struggle.
You'd think that pitting siblings against one another would be counter-productive. It leads to bad blood, to fratricide. Is it an attempt to weed out weakness from one's bloodline? Leave only the best surviving? But isn't it better to have more saplings in the forest overall?
Keep chopping them down and you'll leave the mountainside barren.
i'm not fighting my siblings over it theyre not even a part of it im fighting a bunch of old guys its a bit of a free for all right now is that how it went with you? no actually who are you? youre not koto
Squabbling outside the bloodline. Continuation by any means, including adoption.
No, I was named outright by my father. But I'm familiar with such things. In the underworld, you don't always have the time or opportunity to find a wife and produce an heir of your own. In that case, your second might be promoted with their own family, and take your best men once you retire. Or, you might adopt a promising prospect and name them as your heir.
It's likely I thought about it. I never really could picture myself marrying a woman.
[Unfortunately for Matoba, he'd already forgotten who he'd been thinking of, by the time he thought to start writing things down.]
Hm. He doesn't like this. Oria is finding out a lot about Matoba right now, but at what cost? He doesn't seem like himself. In fact, Matoba saying anything about himself and his circumstances feels off in the first place. ]
i see so cubia got you too what do you want from me then
[ Though he recalls the epitaph and tries to use the process of elimination. Mithrun was requesting data on his love life, so "one-sided love" made sense. Temptation? Talking about inheritance and leaving a heir...

usually when someone says something like that
they go for a hostage situation

[Ha ha ha get it, it's a joke. Because he's a crime man. We have fun here. 🙂]
I'll be more specific.
Do you feel any duty to carry on your bloodline?
no subject
... Yeah, Oria will tell him this, because even though he forgot the memory, he received the information from someone he trusts, so. ]
its not my job

but the situation at home is a little sensitive right now
i cant have any part in making children
no subject
[Another little brother heir, huh... He wonders what sort of relationship they have.]
If you put it that way, I take it your relationship with them can't be all that terrible.
But isn't it generally better for the children to come from the heir?
[Of course it's baiting. It's Matoba.]

Why? Are you jealous, Oriade-san?
Is curiosity and investigation for comparison's sake invalid?
Out situations are somewhat similar, but there are key differences. There was a sense of camaraderie. He saw you as equals. Do you reject this notion?
I want to know more about "inheritance".

Physical bodies are a requirement, but are also quite fragile. Nothing about this problem can be fixed by virtual reality.
