This isn't the first time I hear this peculiar ending "-shi" added to words.
It usually appears at the end of sentences. From the looks of it, the ending
is supposed to make the speaker sound lighthearted, friendly, humorous. As an
example, in _Selector Infected/Spread WIXOSS_ Eldora and Chiyori both talk and
behave peculiarly, using this ending.

What is the actual purpose of it?

What is the "-shi" ending's meaning?


"-desushi" mean "becase" and "and".

Let's take a look at a few quotes from episode 5 for example.

> ふぉぉぉ！燃える展開です!! ちよりはバーニングチョリソー **ですしー**!!

Wow! This is a burning development!! **Because** Chiyori is Burning Chorizo!!

> るぅ子さんがやらないなら私がやります ちよりがやりたい **ですしー** ！

If Ruuko doesn't play, I'll play. **Because** Chiyori want to play!

The word "-desushi" itself is normal Japanese. But the overusing "-desushi" is
part of slang of young people.

In this anime, "-desushi" is used for accent of character like "-nyo".
