[mystia's izakaya] no.

the answer is no.

like you have to understand rinnosuke is the easiest bitch to satisfy in this game

Rinnosuke thinks he's so smart and he's like

he's so close to right

onigiri with extra seaweed. every time. that's all it takes.

My favorite Rinnosuke scene in canon is a long monologue where he predicts that a series of books is 15 volumes long based on bizarre, overcomplicated logic

conflating computers with shikigami and with the power of the moon, which is a circle, meaning that 15, which is the highest value in hexadecimal, also means that the numbers in the volume numbers end with 31415, which is the start of pi, the number representing a circle, like the moon

then Marisa goes "yeah I also figured it was 15 volumes"

"because it says 'book 1 of 15' on the back"

oh my god

effervescent

I do appreciate that the first Dude with a speaking role in the entire franchise was immediately That Guy Who Incorrectly Mansplains Everything

I fully believe ZUN did it at least a little on purpose
