Another one?!

"Like, I know you got a really thicc booty to maintain but don't ya think you eat too much master?" The fox replied. She cast a glance over towards the door. Was Beni-Sensei coming in here? She seemed distracted by something. Too much to think about. She just wanted to be anywhere other than where Beni was. Hmm...well, might as well get something to go too. As long as Beni-sensei didn't see her yet, that was fine. She could totes stealth this.

"Hey, like, get me one of those bubble teas too master." She said, adding another thing to their order just as Mana went to swipe the card.

Blue, gold, peach, and red, huh.

Peach was a given. Blue and gold would go well together. Red and blue, perhaps too. Red and gold felt a bit gaudy. It'd depend on the exact coloring, perhaps. Charlotte held a hand to her chin. Maid outfit? Luxurious dress? Imagining Momotaro in a few different dresses was nothing, if not entertaining.

"I see. I'll keep that in mind. I do rather like your current attire, but perhaps I could make you something a bit more suited to my-er, your tastes." She replied with a soft smile. It was then, someone, or at least whatever they were wearing caught her eye. A rather handsome woman in quite a well crafted suit. Perhaps she'd be intruding in some personal space, and considering she wasn't quite good at the whole social thing, but that was a nice suit.

"...hm." Momo would suddenly find Charlotte to swiftly change direction, heading right towards this well dressed woman. For a few seconds, she simply stared at the woman, not particularly doing a good job of hiding it or even trying too. "Tell me, where exactly did you get that suit of yours from?" She would say as she finally approached, a slight narrowing of her eyes followed, a small frown forming on her lips.

Kishinami Hakuno

"...She what now?"

Hakuno gave Benienma a confused glance, wondering what had gotten her so flustered. Well, maybe that was a silly question, considering they were talking to a ridiculously pretty girl. Someone with such radiant beauty that it almost kind of maybe brought strange fantasies to the forefront of her imagination. Luckily, as a chaste and pure officer of Fusang, she had the mental fortitude to ignore such vulgar thoughts and maintain a professional air-

Oh wow she just called us cute.

It was one thing to comment on Saber's cuteness - that was as obvious as water being wet. But for such a good-looking woman to call her cute as well? Feeling a flutter in her chest, Hakuno knew this situation was dangerous. Someone could mistake her as being infatuated with the black-haired stranger, when that was obviously not the case! Her cheeks were just colouring because... because the smell of food was in the air!

The plain girl had to coolly play this off, and luckily she had the perfect way of doing so. Jamming the baseball cap back onto her head and lowering the bill over her eyes, Hakuno loudly fumbled out "thanks you too gettin' food bye!"
With that she quickly rushed into the restaurant, leaving Benienma to fend for herself. Her Servant was tough, no doubt she could reject any attempts at seduction. Hopefully. Actually, who in their right mind would rebuke an advance from such a pretty lady? Especially if Hakuno was supposed to be the alternative choice, it seemed way too obvious what anyone would choose!

Before Hakuno could sink into a spiral of despair that she had surely lost her adorable Saber to some otherworldly beauty, a card clattered at her feet. Surprised, the flustered officer, knelt down to pick it up, realising it was a credit card. Straightening, she looked up at the apparent owner of the card and held it back out, "S-sorry, um, this yours?"

Berserker - Guan Yu

"Glad to hear it, Master!" Berserker happily replied, completely missing the meaning behind Hana's proclamation. She was already out the door, carrying the hapless girl over her shoulder with ease and unaware of any strange looks that may come their way. It was just nice to be proactive in getting her Master out of the house! Perhaps walking a mile out would be a sufficient starter? But if it was too easy, Hana might just get bored of it and refuse to leave the home again. No, if Guan wanted to promote a more active lifestyle, a longer journey back would make her appreciate the benefits of walking all the more!

"Okay, let's go with a three mile run! That should be a great starter~!" Guan cheered, raising her free fist to the air, "and when you're done with that warm-up, let's see about doing some strength training~!"

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Though she had taken intrigue in the crepe shop that her gaze had lingered on, Meltryllis did not by any means expect her Master to actually notice her own curiosity. By this point, it would have been more prudent to have done so; as convenient as it was to be able to try something that caught her fancy, having her hand be read so easily was a bit irritating. Even so, it would end well enough anyhow. Probably.

"A crepe, then...? Well, that's fine. I guess if I had to pick..." she trailed off, glancing over the sign hanging over the streetside window shop before pointing, her sleeve dangling in the air as she gestured towards her choice. "That one. Matcha, apple, strawberry, whipped cream, honey. I don't agree with the name, but the taste sounds good enough to warrant at least a try."

Logically, eating a crepe would be easier than eating a parfait, at least; all she had to do was being it up to her face and eat, right? It was better than embarrassing herself in public by fumbling about with some sort of utensil, at least...

Jack the Ripper

The trip to the shop had been surprisingly fun! She wasn't used to puppies, but it was nice how happy the pet had been to be getting some attention. And it hadn't bit or done anything aggressive towards her Master, so there was no need to slice it open. She could have done that anyway, but Mother didn't want her to do things like that unless there was a good reason for it...

In the shop, and set loose to pick her own clothing, Jack began the very important search for clothes that would match. It needed to be something like a suit, but it was unlikely there was going to be any sort of suit in a children's store... and it also had to avoid tight sleeves or legs. What if she needed to fight?

Of course, between being Assassin and being small, this also meant there was now an easily lost and undetectable child... somewhere around.

[Pyromania99]

Mana

"Uwah!" Mana yelped as her card slipped out of her fingers and clattered a bit away from her. It was somewhat amazing how far it went. "Card-chan..." Mana groaned as she started to shuffle her feet over... That was, until someone picked up her card and handed it to her.

At first, the thought of another person being there scared her and then she looked at who was handing her card back to her. It was a cute girl. For Mana, she was very non-threatening. She felt somewhat relaxed around her. She was sort of starting to get use to Suzuka, but this was quite a bit different. "Ahh! I-it is! T-thank you..." She swallowed as she cautiously took the card back and exhaled in relief. "Hayama Mana. My, uhh, name. Thank you for picking my card up." She was nervous. Hakuno and Suzuka could hear it in her voice but she needed to introduce herself right? It was easier with this girl than with some bishoujo or gal-type.

She felt somewhat confident now at least so she turned to Suzuka... Alright, well, not all that confident really. "I-I did it." She uncomfortably gave her a V sign with her fingers. Then she seemed like she remembered something and turned to the relaxing girl in front of her. "And this is my servant, Suzuka." She motioned to the JK foxgirl. "She's prettier than me so it makes me a bit nervous. Hahaha...."

[VitaVitaAR]

Saber - Benienma

Benienma paused for a moment. The revelation of the cowry shell, on top of the Servant's words, swiftly brought everything into clarity now. Oh, certainly it was difficult not to at least eye Kaguya-hime and the shell a little, but with the explanation of what was occurring now rather clear to the diminutive enma. It was one of Kaguya-hime's impossible requests, and it had a fascination-type effect towards those who were birds or possessed bird attributes. Needless to say, Benienma certainly possessed the latter no matter her origins.

Her attendant, on the other hand, was not at all brought out of the almost trance-like state. Ad her Master had rather abruptly fled inside to get food... ah, this was growing a bit... messy.

But Benienma could handle messy situations! Taking a deep breath, the diminutive redhead gathered her thoughts.

"That cowry shell, and... and your looks," she hesitated for a moment on the second note, still quite effected by the shell even if she was dealing with it far more effectively now, "You must be the Moon Princess, Kaguya-hime. I am the Tongue-Cut Sparrow, Benienma."

Mihama Nanako

"Meltyrllis-san has pretty good taste," Nanako commented, smiling as she cocked her head to the side. She wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, but trying to speak normally with her Servant, interact with her like anyone else... it seemed right to her. Meltryllis clearly didn't want to be coddled because of her disabilities. And at the same time, she also seemed like she was reluctant to have anything but distance between herself and her Master. The best way to close that distance, to make up for pitying her before, then, was to treat her normally, wasn't it?

Besides, everyone deserved to be treated like a fellow human being, even if they weren't human and were extremely irregular even for a Servant. This was just how things were, in Nanako's mind. Even after everything, knowing Melt had wanted to keep her safe made it clear to her.

And of course that crepe did sound pretty good.

The line wasn't too long, but there was a bit of a wait. And as they waited, Nanako's mind wandered again, her eyes drifting briefly towards her Servant.

With everything that had happened since summoning Meltryllis, she hadn't thought about it as much but... Her Servant... was really pretty, wasn't she? That pale, doll-like skin, that slender, elegant body, and her hair... with the current prosthetic legs she was wearing it would have been dragging on the ground if not for the way it curled up and the end. If she ever got the opportunity to wash Meltryllis's hair...

... Aah, jeez, what was she thinking about now?! Nanako hadn't ever really thought about anything like that before.

And they were at the front of the line now. The young man behind the counter was asking her what she wanted.

"Ah, er, the Bon Appletreat," she said, quickly, "And the Chicken and Tomato Cheese Crepe?"

The latter sounded like it would be good for a meal...

Soon enough, both crepes had been completed. Thankfully, with the way it was wrapped it was easy to carry it with one arm, and there was an empty space to sit down not too far away.

Yuriko T. Louvyngyr

Before Yuriko could accompany Jack to check out the clothes the white-haired little girl wanted(and hopefully get the girl behind the counter's number) another rather lovely young lady(who had been staring at her a bit but getting stares wasn't always a bad thing at all) approached. She seemed to be in her teens, accompanied by a prettyboy in clothing that indicated he was almost certainly the girl's Servant.

Excellent.

"My suits are tailored by the lovely folk at C'est Magnifique," she responded, not batting an eye at the slightly stern way the girl spoke. It wasn't as if being a people-person was intrinsic to magi, after all. Besides, she was happy to share details about where she got her clothing. Especially with pretty girls.

"They have a boutique here in Fusang, if you're interested," Yuriko continued, "After all, you're looking rather fashionable yourself."

It was true, and served as a perfect start in the enforcer's opinion. Compliments tended to work rather effectively after all.

... Ah... Jack...

She paused for a moment. The flirting had to be put on hold.

"Jack, stay in the store!" she called, glancing back towards the girl as she did, "My Servant, I'm here to buy her some clothing."

Ahh, this interrupted her game a little, didn't it? But letting Jack wander off wasn't a good idea, even if she could use a command seal to call her back.

Momotaro

Shopping Center

For a smaller moment a chill ran again up Momotaro's spine as his master spoke of making something suited to...one of their tastes, at least. Whether it was his or hers in the end was another matter. Was that a good or a bad thing? He had no idea, but his survival instincts were telling him something fierce. Outwardly, however, he merely softly smiled back at his master to keep up a polite front. Yet before he could follow-up and ask a question, out of the corner of his eye Charlotte would swiftly change direction on him and walk over to a woman in a suit.

The male Rider followed his studious master over in a heartbeat, arms still politely crossed but some concern on his now-furrowed eyebrows as he sized up the stranger. As a Servant, it was his duty to make sure that no random stranger should trick or potentially harm his master! Ever since his summoning, after all, he had felt somewhat protective of his charge. Maybe it was a desire to help her grow, is admiration for her studiousness, or even just wanting to support her in place of those who no longer could. Of course a casual chat with someone else in public was not a crime, and even he felt she was dressed rather nicely in that suit.

'She seems strong, though remember that honeyed compliments can potentially lead to flirtation.'

The Rider communicated silently with Charlotte through their link, almost sighing at the end of the private message as the worrywart of a servant looked past the woman and into the store for a moment.

"I could help find your servant in there as you chat with my master here if you wish. From how you called out to her, though, I assume she is a young one? If so, might she enjoy a sweets?"

Momotaro kept up a professional tone of voice as he spoke to Yuriko, though he could not help but raise a curious eyebrow as he did so. Usually young heroic spirits had an interesting tale behind them, or in the case of a certain Golden Boy some unique personality quirks. Living in a city full of servants, he could not help but be curious about other residents like himself.

"Oh, I see." Charlotte replied with a light nod of her head. "I'll keep that in mind, thank you. I make most of my own attire so having a good source of high quality fabric is very welcome." She either ignored the light flirting, or simply didn't register it as such. She had of course, intended to leave it at that and leave once she received a reply, but the woman hen said something about a servant and Momo offering to help.

"...I don't see how that's any of our business, Momo. A master should endeavor to be aware of their servant at most times. Even moreso if they're a troublesome sort." Charlotte replied in a rather taciturn manner. Still...maybe this would placate Momo and count as doing something other than studying. Ergh...she could...handle small talk for a bit, yes? Probably. "But I suppose if you count this as 'getting me away from my studies a bit', then I'll allow it."

~Suzuka~

@Pyromania99@RolePlayerRoxas

"M-master...!" NOPE NOPE, this was the exact opposite of what she wanted to happen! Suzuka pouted lightly when she went to introduce her to who was quite obviously Beni's master. Agh, was she going to be okay? Was her debut as a JK over so soon? Wait...actually...maybe this was a good thing?! If she could make friends with Beni's master, then she could have the master save her tail from Beni-Sensei!

"'kay, big brain 4D chess time..." She muttered under her breath as she walked up, offering Hakuno a friendly grin. "Hai hai, sorry about my master here. She's a total swipe right, but she acts like a shut-in."

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Choosing not to respond directly to Nanako's quip, Meltryllis simply stood by and watched quietly as her Master placed the order. This was one of those shops that made a show of making their food in front of the customer—something to be expected, given the way that they were set up—and so the two stood by watching as their food was finished right in front of them. Once that was done and Nanako had taken both crepes in hand, Meltryllis nodded and followed after her as she sought out a seat.

"I'm not so rude so as to not accept a gift when it's presented to me," she remarked as the girl handed her the crepe as the two sat down next to one another. There was no space to place any distance between the two as she usually did, given how claustrophobic the streets were, but that wasn't much of an issue.

Now that she had the crepe in had, though, Meltryllis had to admit that it was much easier to manage holding than any sort of fork or spoon. All she needed to do was cup her hands; no force beyond that was necessary in the least.

"Well, in any case," she began, using her wrist to push some of the hair that had fallen in front of her face out of the way, "I may as well try this. The presentation isn't too shabby, at least."

Leaning forward for a moment as she took a bite from the crepe, the Alter Ego paused for a moment as the took a moment to savor the taste. She was not used to eating, after all, and though this was not her first time doing so, the flavors were definitely a lot more in-line with her preferences this time around.

"Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. The taste of tea is nice, though I would prefer something a bit more pronounced," she mumbled to herself before taking another bite. "Mmm. Acceptable."

@VitaVitaAR

[VitaVitaAR]

Mihama Nanako

Sitting down next to Meltryllis, Nanako was suddenly struck with an admiration for how easy a rolled crepe was to eat. She reflected briefly on the fact that a human being rarely appreciated such things until they were deprived of one of their physical abilities. Unable to use one arm, she could still eat a crepe just fine. It was something she'd acknowledged before ordering, but at the same time she was now truly appreciative of this fact.

... And though she didn't say it...

It looked like Meltryllis was appreciative of the fact a crepe was pretty easy to eat, too.

"I'm glad you like it," Nanako commented, smiling as she did. Sure, 'acceptable' wasn't the most stunning bit of praise, but it was pretty obvious that Meltryllis was enjoying her crepe.

She took a bite of her own. The chicken, tomato, and cheese combo, along with the other ingredients, had a sort of Italian feel to them. It was definitely good, especially after how little she'd eaten over the past few days.

"You know, if I could get away with it, I'd eat stuff like that all the time," added the brunette, as she glanced over towards the purple-haired girl. Once again she was struck by just how stunningly beautiful the Alter Ego was. The way she had brushed her hair back like that and everything... and her soft, cute features coupled with the sharpness of her eyes was cute... and... and hopefully her looking like this didn't look too weird. It didn't, right? And it wasn't weird for her to look in the first place, right? Even though they were both girls! Right?!

Nanako took a deep breath and another bite of her crepe.

"But that'd be a pretty bad idea!"

@PKMNB0Y

[Raineh Daze]

Kaguya-hime

Ah, maybe she shouldn't tease normal Masters so much, that one had gotten so flustered and run off... leaving her obviously distracted Servant behind. One who she could see, and confirmed in her own words, was the tongue-cut sparrow. One who was just so cute whilst identifying the moon princess. Such a strange little Servant... she'd love to take her home, like all the other oddities, but that would be highly inappropriate.

So she settled for patting the much smaller girl's head.

Of course, something about this Servant made her think of cooking, and if there was any Servant that would have some familiarity with food it would be the one that had run an inn... no matter how implausible it would be that a bird was running an inn. Another one of those things that would be interesting to look into, but unless it was being rebuilt in the city... nevertheless, given their position outside this restaurant.

"Would you recommend this restaurant's burgers, miss? You have the feeling of an expert."

---

Saotome Hana

"I can't run three miles! Are you trying to kill me!?" was the slacker's immediate response to that proclamation. Three miles... she didn't even have good clothing to exercise in, how was she supposed to do a three mile run? She'd collapse before even making it half a kilometre. Did Servants all forget the limits of an ordinary person? Just because she was a jumped-up magic battery didn't mean the rest of her was going to keep up! "And where are you even going!"

Berserker after all had shown no inclination to consider that maybe her Master couldn't start a three mile run from the middle of the ocean. Who knew with this girl if she would be expected to walk on water?

[VitaVitaAR]

Saber -Benienma

"Ah..."

Benienma's red hair was quite soft and silky, but the tiny Servant was struggling for a few moments to gather her thoughts after being patted like that. The charm effect that Kaguya-hime's mere presence instilled was effectively doubled simply due to a combination of the beauty skill she doubtlessly possessed and the effect of the Swallow's Cowry Shell. Benienma's magic resistance certainly allowed her to escape being entranced, but the effects were still pronounced enough to make it somewhat difficult for the enma.

Still, she would maintain a level head and brush it off!

Taking a deep breath, Benienma cleared her mind once more. When it came to a question of food, there was no doubts in her mind!

"Benienma has previously sampled this establishment's fare dechi," she began, folding her arms lightly across her chest, "While there are some pleasant notes, mostly that they seem to have access to very fresh beef, the burgers themselves were preprepared and the cooking practiced here resulted in an overly-greasy patty that felt far heavier to eat then it otherwise should have, and the cheese was unevenly melted dechi."

She glanced back towards the restaurant, a smile returning to her face.

"However, Benienma gave them a thorough lecture and demonstrated how they can improve dechi! Hopefully, they've taken my advice dechi!"

Yuriko T. Louvyngyr

Without missing a beat even in spite of her concern for her Servant's whereabouts, Yuriko responded.

"Of course, beautiful fabric is the only choice for a beautiful girl," she said, a smile back on her lips as she regarded the girl. Ah, she really was beautiful... and the fact that she made all her own clothing only made that outfit more impressive. Certainly, she seemed rather stern, but that didn't mean her efforts were guaranteed to fail. "Especially when she's so versed in making beautiful clothing. I'm really impressed, I've never gotten the hang of tailoring myself."

She paused for a moment. Flipping between her concern for Jack and her attraction to this girl was a little jarring, but the fact remained that the former was definitely more important... even if she wasn't going to give up on the latter unless given no choice.

"Er, as for my Servant... yes, she's quite young."

Yuriko illustrated by gesturing to indicate Jack's height at her side.

"Normally she's pretty attached, but I think she's probably looking for the outfit I said she could pick out."

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Kishinami Hakumo

"No problem. I'm Kishinami Hakuno," the young officer replied with a pleasant smile. It was plain to see that Mana seemed rather nervous, though hopefully that would fade away. Hakuno herself was aware that she lacked much of a presence to be wary around, after all. She nodded to the fluffy-eared schoolgirl introduced as Suzuka, and hoped it wasn't reflected in her face just how utterly lost the Servant's lingo had left her. She could only hope that she was correctly inferring that Suzuka found her Master to be pretty. Hakuno certainly agreed with that assessment.

"Ah, right, this is my Servant, Be-" she paused, remembering that Saber was no longer at her side as usual, and was still dealing with the impossibly-beautiful woman outside. Glancing over her shoulder, she could see that Benienma was having her hair stroked by those slender fingers, and found herself struck by a pang of jealousy so strong that she brought a hand to her chest. After a moment, she faced Mana and Suzuka once more with a more strained smile, "...Benienma, she's just outside. I, er, hope she shows the staff mercy, ehehe..."

-----------------

Berserker - Guan Yu

"Why would I be trying to kill you?" Guan asked with a confused tilt of her head. Even before she became a Servant, her lifestyle had been active enough that even a ten mile run barely qualified as a strenuous task for her. Sure, she may not have been a warrior, but she could at least join her father and brothers as they strengthened themselves! It seemed the Berserker had failed to realise the very fact she could keep pace with such renowned soldiers said a lot about her own capabilities in the first place.

Still, it was obvious that Hana was very against running, for some reason. Coming to a stop, she finally lifted her Master from her shoulder and set her down, placing her hands on her hips, "I guess we don't have to run... but I forbid returning home until I'm satisfied that you've done your very best to get out and about! There's nothing more exhilarating than the flowing of hot blood! Nothing more liberating than the stretching of your muscles!"

With a satisfied grin, Guan folded her arms, reminiscing about those rowdy mornings. Somehow, she would communicate these feelings to Hana and win her over!

[Rin]

Ritsuko Fujimaru

...High quality? Ritsuko couldn't help but flinch at those words. Her Servant was a king, after all, so naturally she'd be used to only the finest food! Even if she'd complemented her cooking before, that had to had just been courtly manners, since such common slop was clearly not fit for the palate of royalty! Arturia clearly expected food of a higher class, something that she clearly couldn't provide for her! And even if she could, she'd just spent most of her money on clothes! Aaaah, why was she so bad with money? It seemed impossible for her to hold onto it whenever she got some, after all!

"Ahahah, uh, d-don't worry Saber uh..." Ritsuko let out a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of her neck anxiously. "Uh... Um... H-hey, how about, uh, rice? Fried rice, rice balls, risotto, paell-" Wait not that I can't afford saffron right now! "-I mean uh mochi, uh... You name it, I'll make it!"

Thankfully, thanks to a certain Servant rice was so abundant in Fusang that you could get whole sacks of it for free, so at least that solved the monetary side of her problems for the time being.

@VitaVitaAR

[VitaVitaAR]

Saber - Arturia Pendragon

For a few moments, Arturia had to confess she had become quite confused. Why was her Master suddenly so distressed? There was no need for such concern. Had she made a mistake somehow? The blonde considered the matter. She had wanted to reassure her Master, to let hew know that any high-quality food would satisfy her. And yet she had become panicked, and listed off a number of different recipes all involving rice... perhaps because rice was so easily obtainable in this city? That seemed quite likely. It was absolutely fine in her opinion, much of the first good food she had ever eaten involved rice as a primary ingredient.

As a result, there was absolutely no reason to panic.

The blonde Saber-class Servant placed one hand to her chest, smiling pleasantly.

"Any one of those dishes would be lovely, Master," she began, "I am certain I will enjoy anything that you prepare."

@Rin

[Pyromania99]

Mana

Mana wasn't sure how she really should respond here. "Swi-swi-swipe right? That's bad, right?!" Mana panic'd, trying to figure out what "swiping right" meant. "B-but I leave the house enough. The girl stuttered as she looked between Hakuno and Suzuka. Gah! She couldn't figure out what the fox meant. She listened to Hakuno's introduction and followed her gaze out the door to a little girl looking servant? Was that the Benienma that Hakuno mentioned?

"Ahh, that girl is pretty adorable looking." Mana said with a small smile coming across her face. Then she saw the one patting the bird servant's head. A very beautiful woman. Something tug at Mana's senses as she watched on. Her heart sank as she watched on. "She's... So beautiful..." Mana seemed in awe of sorts. Whatever dreamlike state she seemed to be in was busted as she turned to Suzuka and grabbed on to her clothes. "She's too pretty, Suzuka! She's going to eat me alive and spit me out! That's what those kinds of girls do to girls like me!" She moved behind Suzuka to hide, though, her features weren't obscured very well by Suzuka's body.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Alter Ego — Meltryllis

Meltryllis simply took another bite of her crepe as she half-listened to Nanako, not entirely caring for her Master rambling about food as she was. As a Servant, there was no real necessity for her to eat in the first place; it was the same as someone indulging in a hobby, or so she assumed. Despite that, though, it was not like she disliked that aspect of things; as her body would never change, she could indulge in such things without worry.

"Well, for you, it might; I have no need to worry about health. That doesn't mean you should neglect yours, though," she responded coolly, taking another bite of her crepe and savoring the taste for a moment before glancing around at the people wandering to and fro. As far as they went, it certainly felt less like 'people moving about' than it did 'a wave that happened to be made up of people'; distinguishing individuals from one another seemed to be nearly impossible—a far cry from what she had been used to since her creation.

"...How vexing..."

A few more minutes of eating later, and the crepe in her hands was no more. With a small sigh, Meltryllis turned towards her Master expectantly, waiting to see when she would finish.

"So, what now? You've had your fill, I presume?"

@VitaVitaAR

[VitaVitaAR]

Mihama Nanako

Nanako was almost surprised at herself over just how quickly she managed to finish off her crepe. Sure, she hadn't eaten all that much for a while now, but that didn't mean she'd expected herself to finish it quite that quickly. Normally something with so many relatively heavy ingredients like melted cheese would take her longer to finish off. Really, she had a feeling if she'd had a second one she probably would have finished that off too...

... But that was a bad idea for a variety of reasons.

"I'm all done, yeah," she replied with a nod, turning to face Meltryllis. As she did, she noticed that some of the cream from the crepe had found itself onto the Alter Ego's face. It wasn't exactly a surprise... not when the crepe had so much cream on it and Meltryllis could only do so much with her hands. And because of that... well... Nanako couldn't just leave it there, could she? Certainly, the petite blue-haired girl didn't like being helped, but in this case there wasn't very much she could do about it on her own...

Taking an unused napkin, the brunette reached out and used it to wipe the cream from Meltryllis's face. Besides... getting to do this for the Alter Ego that refused to ask for help and had been trying to keep as much distance as she could felt nice.

"Sorry, there was just some cream on your cheek," she explained, scratching the back of her head after she balled up the napkin, "I couldn't just leave it."

After disposing of the trash, Nanako considered what they could do next.

"Um... we could stop by the shopping district? I know you're probably not thrilled with me wandering around, but I've been cooped up inside for a while already, so..."

"Beni-Sensei? Mercy? LOL! That's like, too funny!" Suzuka laughed. "She's worse than an Oni when it comes to cooking." As soon as Mana said something, however, Suzuka found herself drawn towards the beautiful woman outside currently...being...very friendly with Beni-Sensei. Suzuka had to admit, she was pretty but it was a good thing her master certainly wouldn'-

"AND WHAT AM I, HUUUUH?!" For the briefest of moments Suzuka's JK act broke ever so slightly. Talk about a way to make her feel entirely insignificant! Mana didn't understand love in the slightest, did she? How could she be a girl herself and still so dense? Like, it was almost annoying. "Like, ow, my maidenly heart. Hmm..." The fox brushed it off easily enough, and soon a grin was plastered on her face like always. "Hey, master, like, maybe you should focus on the totes cute JK next to you," She leaned slightly into Mana. "She might decide to eat you up first~"

She'd let Mana process that statement for a moment.

"Ahaha, that was a joke, you shoulda seen the look on your face!" Suzuka would let Mana think or react however she want. Instead, she turned her attention back to that woman. She was honestly, really pretty. "Who's that bird lover out there anyways?"

Saber - Benienma

Indeed, it seemed as if a moment of simply discussing food had managed to fully clear Benienma's head. She certainly still felt the influence of both Kaguya-hime's charm skill and the cowrie shell, but it was no longer making her quite so awkward when she spoke and she had acclimated to the Moon Princess's presence rather effectively.

And she was no longer by her Master's side... That had to be rectified, but it would be rude to simply walk away from the other Servant.

"Kaguya-hime, you can assist in testing their fare to see if they have improved their cooking skill if you want dechi," declared the redheaded enma, quite seriously. It was food, after all, and while cooking was to be enjoyed it was also to be taken seriously. It seemed like a fair enough offer, certainly, and it meant she would not simply be walking away abruptly. Benienma turned, heading into Burger Wham, and-

Suzuka-Gozen. One of her students. On one hand, Benienma was always happy to see those who had studied under her. Even the most hopeless of their number.

Even the ones who had cooking capabilities that could be called despair.

Still, that did not mean that she was unhappy to see Suzuka. However...

She had hear enough, and saw the look on the girl beside Suzuka's face. This would not do.

"Chirp chirp, what's this?" she said, a frown on her face as she approached, "Are you making your Master uncomfortable, Suzuka-Gozen?"
