[ Ishtar was too busy with her own task to really pay much attention to Takeru's innocent giggling. He's a kid and she's not holding anything against him for being a kid. She was rather fond of him since she didn't have siblings herself. ]

If that's what you like to believe, I think that's pretty cute too and you'll never be lonely with that many sisters and brothers right?

We kind of argue more than fight. Honestly, I don't think I'd be able to take on someone as strong as Zero. Haha. Huh? That sucks but I hope they still get along sometimes and ahaha.

He's like family to me Takeru. We've known each other for that long. Zero hates being called a brother, though. Dunno why.
