3) [Stormchild] 14-4-2007(61): Though the man's words were self-effacing, his actions concurrently made it clear that his modesty was false.

4) [fuaburisu] 25-10-2005(18): This self-effacing guy always speaks concurrently with someone else. That is, he waits for someone to speak, then speaks at the same time.
