[Don't worry, the Ojamas got you covered there--all three of them put both of their tiny hands on Evangeline's and make a wiggling motion to indicate trying to move her hand up and down in a handshake, before Ojama Yellow then gestures to their human partner.
"And this is our Aniki, the great and amazing Manjoume Thunder!! Don't let his surly face fool you, he's as kind and gentle as a mongoose!", which gets a glare from Manjoume here.]
It's Manjoume-san people should be using when outside of the dueling arena... and that's not the cool compliment you idiots think it is!
[He mutters under his breath, but then he sighs because... he's used to people not using the honorific for him. Instead he waves a hand at the Ojamas dismissively.]
Trust me, there's nothing to be jealous about when it comes to having to be haunted by these ugly little gremlins. They're also not very bright and constantly like to jabber about some of the stupidest ideas they can think of.
["Don't be so mean Boss, that suggestion about somehow inventing bread you can eat while in the shower was not that stupid..." "Or maybe he's talking about when we were suggesting using his tea spoon to keep ourselves from drowning while bathing in one of the mugs he left in the kitchen sink..."]
Wait, when was that even--you know what, never mind, I'm glad I wasn't paying attention to whatever conversation you were having that included that.
[He says with a gesture as if to say "Do you see what nonsense I have to put up with?"]
["Uhhhh, Boss, you're not actually considering it, are you? I mean, we're your super cool ace monsters for dueling--" but Manjoume puts a hand up to shush them because this is the first time anyone has ever offered to take the Ojamas off his hands for him.]
Are you a duelist, or a card collector or something? Why would you want these guys around even with... you know.
Not really - I mean, I played a little in high school. [You know, the normal time to play children's card games.]
They're just my type, is all.
[Even Evangeline knows not to go into detail in front of someone who has clearly never thought of his duel spirits as sexual beings. -Unless he asks more questions, then she'll be happy to elaborate.]
Manjoume Jun has now experienced a mental blue screen of death. Give him a moment to regain brain power to properly confront what is happening here...
There's a pause as the Ojamas seem to realize that she seems serious too, and for a moment they turn to each other to huddle up... albeit, they are not too smart to think that maybe they should whisper as they discuss it, and thus can be clearly heard saying things like:
"C--can you believe it guys?" "Someone actually likes us like that!" "Like how the Boss used to crush on and write poetry about Miss Asuka?" "Oh god, I haven't been in the dating game for so long, do girls still like bikinis, I'm pretty sure we got plenty of those to offer as a courting gift..." "Is that how it's done? That would explain why the Boss hasn't gotten a date yet, he never tried that tactic before..." "See, this is why we're here to advise him on these things with our infinite wisdom, but for now..."
They turn their attention back to Evangeline and it seems Ojama Yellow has taken it upon themselves to be the designated leader for leading the conversation here.]
[That seems to get Manjoume alert again as he immediately responds.]
Absolutely not. I refuse to be a part of any dating these three are getting involved with.
[The Ojamas, however, frown for a moment.]
"I'm not sure how to make this work, though. Our spirits are linked pretty closely to the Boss's soul, so we can't really go that far away from him." "Maybe... it'll be fine if we're at least in the same building? The Boss can have his coffee and we can go hang out with Evangeline at a different table?" "We could always try borrowing his body, but I haven't tried that in years so I don't know if that would work again... especially not by myself, it'd probably require all three of us to be able to move more than just the arms..."
Oh, hell no, you three are not possessing me. I'm vetoing that suggestion right now.
Gee, thanks. See if I actually go along with this farce enough to even allow that much...
[He says, rolling his eyes. Suddenly, one of the Ojamas makes a gesture of fist meeting palm of their other hand, as if struck by inspiration.]
"Wait, I got it. We could also try to fuse and become Ojama King too if it seems like being in the same building isn't enough either." "Oh my god, that's the smartest thing you've ever said, brother." "Doesn't that require a lot of energy and concentration though?" "No no, it's fine, when you've got the three of us working together, we can do anything!"
For the love of--why is this what gets you three to act so confident, how about showing some of that for, you know, our job? The thing that helps pays for these snacks you asked for?
"Listen Boss, you'll understand when you find love yourself some day."
[At that, Manjoume throws his hands up into the air in exasperation and begins stomping away out of the aisle so that he can finally attempt to finish grocery shopping...]
He just feels a little left out, you should be extra nice to him later. Here's my number.
[She'll jot it down on a piece of paper for them - either they're corporeal enough to take it or she's going to have to convince Manjoume to take it later when he stops sulking.]
So you can fuse? What does that look like, are you big?
[Unfortunately, you'll probably have to make Manjoume take it before he checks out, at least for now. Thankfully, he hasn't left yet, he can be heard in the next aisle over grumbling as he tries to pretend nothing is happening while picking out some soup. They do at least have the foresight to watch her write the number down as well... but no telling if they won't forget it later, they are Ojamas after all, and all of their brain cells instead go to the question at hand.]
"Yeah! Check it out, and you'll see just why we're called the Ojama King."
[The three brothers huddle up close together, cheek to cheek as they begin suddenly rapidly spinning in the air until... boom! The very large duel spirit known as Ojama King has taken their place and is indeed what the kids call "thicc" these days as they are wide enough to take up more than the entire aisle they're currently in.
For a second Manjoume can be heard going "For fucks sake, at least float above the aisle so people won't have to walk through your crotch..." in the other aisle, which they allow the slightest amount of floating for that before they respond to Eva, sounding like three voices speaking at once.]
[Ojama King even winks and gives a thumbs up in response to that.]
"Should've said it sooner, but you're also pretty good-looking yourself. And you don't even need to fuse like we do to make that happen, you're already three times as good looking as it is."
[Thankfully, Manjoume has made the wise decision to go somewhere else in the store where he can't hear any more flirting for the sake of his sanity. I, meanwhile, am forced to continue bearing witness to Ojamas attempting to flirt.]
"So, what's your idea of a good time? Gotta make sure it's a nice date you'll love after all if we're gonna set one up, after all."
"Yes! That sounds like a great idea! And the Boss should have nothing to complain about since he could then see whatever movie he likes while we're with you at the theater!"
[For once, this is actually a good idea for them to have stumbled upon because Manjoume definitely doesn't go to the movies very often, on account of the Ojamas unintentionally distracting him. Telling him that he'll be able to finally watch a movie without them hovering over his shoulder might be enough to get him to agree to this...]
That sounds perfect to me! [And she won't get her hopes up about bringing them back to her place, that's just a little too cruel to Manjoume.] Should we let him know about our plans?
[Cue the rather appropriate timing of Manjoume's return as he appears at the end of the aisle and, upon seeing that there's no one else around that might stare and wonder who the fuck he's talking to, looks up at the still looming specter of Ojama King with a grimace.]
If you don't cut that out right now, I'm using your cards as coasters when I get back to the apartment.
[That seems to be enough of a threat that Ojama King disperses with a puff, and the Ojamas are now three small spirits once more as they come to hover back at eye level with the humans. They start to whine about "the Boss being soooo mean right now", but Manjoume ignores them as their attention turns instead to Evangeline. For a moment, he seems to be struggling with something to say, before he finally sighs.]
Look... I don't particularly care if you're able to see them and even like their annoying behavior. But they are my [A pause, as he tries to decide what word to use that isn't too obvious that he does in fact care about them, but also not something too cruel in exchange as a substitute] followers, so you better not be planning to do anything that involves stealing them away or whatever. Got it?

[Evangeline continues to have the taste of all time, as she actually blushes a little looking at their fused form and fans her face.]
You look fantastic.

Ignore Manjoume, he's clearly just jealous. Ojama King grins even wider before speaking again.]
"You really think so?"
