"I wouldn't look up if they started hunting you instead."
Kondo gave a light chuckle and took another gulp almost devouring half his drink. He wiped away the booze spilled on his chin and looked at the street next to them for simple enjoyment of watching people. It was something he enjoyed doing on these hot kind of days. Lay back and do nothing more than enjoying yourself a little. It wasn't hard and could be done by more than one at the same time. Perhaps they should make a sport out of it, Kondo would be very good at it that way.
He told the giant about the tavern rooms and just like suspected the giant would offer himself to help Kondo. Kondo gave a somewhat amused smile at the giant. He was happy to hear but he didn't really need it all that bad. Perhaps if he ever felt like it, so probably not. Kondo could heal ruffling and a clap downstairs. They were customers most likely so Kondo didn't really bother. They would find their way eventually.
"Yea, don't worry. They aren't bad people I believe."
"Good thing that I'm not using something cute as carpet then."
She snapped at Tsuiho, way to damn lax. Perhaps she could pull her tail off if she pulled hard enough but from hearing her cute answer she suspected Tsuiho didn't really mind pain all that much. Sick twisted mind of her. Even her face told out loud that she liked Aya stepping onto her. Good, she could kick this fox the ground in later without her minding it one bit.
The fox stood up and told her Aya was pretty mean in which Aya gave her an irritated pout as she folded her arms over each other leaning lightly onto her hip as she did. They could play good cop bad cop if it went on like this. The fox nice enough? Say that again after pinning someone down onto the ground and basically groping them. Yep that wouldn't go out of her system ever again.
"I take that as a compliment."
Tsuiho mentioned something about her good hearing in which she gave a simple shrug. It felt like a headache to her so she really could use a nap after taking in this whole different world thing. Tsuiho already headed up the stairs, Aya gave a heavy sigh before starting to follow her at a much slower pace. This girl was too damn loud and annoying. She went up the stairs like a ten year old screaming someone's name. Why did Aya had to follow her in the first place. What would be the use of meeting a few people, it would be faster to find an exit out of this freakland.
Tsuiho explained the situation a bit to the two guys up on the roof terrace while Aya slowly entered the terrace too behind the fox. She wasn't even gonna try to stop this girl from talking pure nonsense. Stealing her? Dafaq. As the booming voice mentioned where she was Aya stepped away from the giant foxtail to look at the two man. One of them looked very lax and the other... Aya's face reddened as she saw the giant sitting there. Aya almost instantly looked away from them. She was jealous of tall people mostly but this was a new level of tall and wide. She was like 1/6th of the giant it's size, jezus. Aya gave a somewhat mumbled cold greeting. She definitly didn't look like the social one in the family.
"Hello..."
Expected, the lively fox was at it again. He could hear her voice trampling up the stairs louder and louder. For some reason she was calling out his name the whole time although Kondo didn't really bother asking why. Almost tripping over the railing she made an appearance. In only a few seconds she came down to the point. About a lost girl that she wanted to adopt. This wasn't the first time no...
"Yo Tsu, my favorite least liked fox."
Kondo gave a gentle chill smile at her and noticed the black haired girl stepping from behind her. She definitly wore strange clothing. Looked like a fancy dress made by someone very skilled. A white piece of linen with a big ribbon on the back. Did she kidnap a young princess this time? Kondo also gave the girl a kind laid back smile and stood up. He chugged the last bit of his drink and took Kyojins mug if it was empty too. He walked past the two towards the hallway. He gave Aya a quick ruffle on the head messing up her entire hair as he went to get drinks for everyone.
"Hey kid."
He could hear some yelling from his back but paid no attention to it. He got a few drinks from downstairs and headed up again to hand them out to the other three. He quickly sat down again.
"So Tsu, is this your only catch this week? Sounds a bit desperate to be honest."
Calling her a kid! How dare he! He looked chilled and laid back and didn't look like he was going to do anything bad but this was outright unacceptable!
"I'm not a kid anymore bastard! I am 17 already!"
She snapped at him but he was clearly ignoring her. She took a deep breath and stomped her foot onto the ground out of anger. Her hands were balled up and stretched along sides her body. Her face had gotten somewhat more red from her sudden outburst just like her upper body had tilted forwards a little. Her hatred didn't die down untill he returned.
"I said that i'm no kid!"
A mug was forced onto her chest instead of an answer. Her hand quickly grasped for the mug to make sure it didn't ruin her summer dress. Her anger died down a bit as she stared at the mug with the liquid in it. A light blush could still be seen on her face with a somewhat still mad aura about her but at least her mouth shut down for a minute. She was actually kind of thirsty. Without a second word she took a quick sip. Her face instantly cringed up. The taste made her mouth burn, what was this! Was this a joke?! Just like the taste she could smell the sharp smell of the drink. This was no juice. She pushed the mug away with her arm but still held it in her hand as she poked out her tongue.
"Bleh what is this crap"
"Yeah yeah adult midget I get it, here."
So if you kept feeding the girl she would stay quiet? Aya had completely calmed down, well at least that was untill she taste her drink. Kondo somewhat chuckled at the sight of her tasting alcohol. 'Adult' sure. Kondo sounded somewhat more serious. She wasn't gonna let that kid drink more alcohol even if it was an accident.
"Oh sorry kid, seems like I mixed yours up with Tsu"
Yoshino chuckled a little trying to hide it with the side of her hand as he called these people animal people. If he would say that to someone from here he would likely be beaten up by a few or get stopped by the knights. Well it was a joke this time so it wouldn't cause any serious problems.
"Just to be sure that you know, each race has a name so it would be pretty smart to learn those or ask them if you meet them instead of calling them animals haha."
This guy was to nice to get beaten up anyway so she trusted him a ton already. He went on about his world. It sounded pretty ideal if she heard him like this. Self driving carriages, sounds to good to be true. Must be expensive too if she heard him like that.
"Sounds like a dream to me, perhaps I should come with you to this dream land haha."
Daisuke showed Yoshino an apple out one of her bags as she simply stared at it. Apple? Sounded weird but it was pretty alike to what they call it, he also mentioned that he couldn't read any of the signs so maybe his language came from Lugnica's language?
"We call them Appas here though so you must be from pretty far away if I hear it like this, hmm."
Yoshino shook her head slightly to just forget about it for now, she had to comfort this boy, not make him sadder. Well they were almost there anyway so he could relax a little.
"It is here around the corner"
Yoshino did turn the corner like she said and entered a building down the street. The crescent moon tavern, a not so well known tavern in town. Yoshino walked over towards the bar and placed her bags on the counter. She gave a huff and turned around to Daisuke.
"You're ton of help, thank you."
Yoshino gave a smile at him as she let herself fall back against the bar. Her head tilted towards the side and her eyes closed for a moment in tiredness. After a short minutes she stood back up again and gave the boy yet another smile.
"I'm gonna cook dinner so feel free to explore the tavern. There are some people upstairs most likely so feel free to join them if you wish."
Yoshinobu gave the boy a wink and spun herself around to get behind the bar. Yoshino gracefully started to make fire with the use of some flint and steel so she could start cooking as Daisuke was free to explore. She looked rather concentrated on it if you could say.
Addison sounded quite thankful towards the small Hamaguchi which made her happy. Hamaguchi liked doing good things for others so she tried to do as much as she possibly could even if it would impact her daily life. Addison chose a few fruits which weren't too expensive so it made Hamaguchi not so worry as much about it as she did first. Perhaps this was a bad person after all and would use her for bags and bags of food. That would be the worst but she shouldn't think of Addison as that.
Hamaguchi gave the army girl a quick smile and looked at the fruits herself too. With drool hanging from her mouth she ordered two fish which were quite expensive since it was a living animal before but she really needed it. Hamaguchi both put them in a sack together with a few different kind of other vegetables. She gave the man one silver coin exactly and closed her sack after she had paid.
"Thank you very much again"
She gave a catish smile with a polite bow and waved the market guy off as she head further making sure Addison was catching up to her.
The busy fruit stall guy looked like he was really trying his hardest to get customers for his stall. Most people were regulars so they were steady income but occasionally he was able to get another customer that he didn't know yet. Today it was Hamaguchi's turn to shop again and just like usual he was happy to see the cat girl. Without much words Hamaguchi got to work on her routine. Hamada's gaze turned to the one next to Hamaguchi. A friend of hers? An unusual friend for sure, a customer was a customer no matter what.
"Good day young lady, can I offer you the freshly picked peaches!"
The man listened closely to the woman as she whispered to him in an unusual fashion. The girl was asking if his fruits costed much. The man wanted to burst out in laughter but that would have been rude to a customer.
"But of course, it is hard to get high prices with all these other vendors on the market so I do my best to get them as attractive as possible. Only 10 copper coins miss."
He gave the girl a wink and placed his finger in front of his lips in hushin manner.
"Shh, sellers secret hehe."
