>Invite Harami to eat some veggies, too! Such healthy treats can't be found underwater after all.

>Invite Harami to eat some veggies, too! Such healthy treats can't be found underwater after all.

> Wait, we're trying to find veggies at MikoBurger? :|
> Sigh. "Come on, just try it. If you don't like it, I promise to take you to a really nice fish place for dinner. Okay?"

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Now now. You're among humans. You should be relishing this chance to taste our culture and see all the neat little differences! Let's get some burgers."

>"Relish. I see what you did there."

> Wait, we're trying to find veggies at MikoBurger? :|
> Sigh. "Come on, just try it. If you don't like it, I promise to take you to a really nice fish place for dinner. Okay?"

>Harami sighs, but begrudgingly accepts. "I'll be holding you to that, I think."

>Invite Harami to eat some veggies, too! Such healthy treats can't be found underwater after all.

>"I dunno, kelp and seaweed went down fine enough for me."

>MikoBurger is the same fast-food chain it's always been. The place reeks of grease, but the burgers are pretty damn tasty. You aren't sure what goes into them, but it's probably better not to ask. From a booth in the corner, you hear the sound of another customer chomping away at their meal without remorse.
A young woman in the official restaurant uniform - a red vest and skirt with white sleeves - comes up to the counter to serve you. She fires out words like a machine gun.
"Good morning welcome to the Mikoburger home of the purest and finest meat the world's ever seen what can I get for you?"

[Sect]

Awesome Harami's never going to trust us ever again.

> Let's start off small for Harami. "I'll take the #1 combo, and she'll the kids' MikoMiko Burger Meal."

[E-Nazrin]

>How much do WE eat seafood? We need to act natural to avoid suspicion ourselves...
>Are there any fish filet items or the like on the menu?

Even better compromise would be to get an order of that to share! In addition to the other stuff, of course. It's an unexpected selection of food 'quality' for a Royal, even if it's still technically seafood-based. Still, it's a potential risk...

Though maybe we can bully her into at least trying the other stuff before resorting to the fish food.

[Sect]

I thought the idea was to bully her into trying other stuff in the first place, and MikoBurger was the one that was cheaper and didn't require us to get fancier outfits, which would then have Harami questioning us about why we didn't go to that place in the first place and then she'd look at us all >:< like and then we'd be sad at first then realize how cute she looks like that then we'd be HNNNGH and then die and the game would end.

[E-Nazrin]

To be fair, we could also skip pointing out the fish filet menu item until after Harami throws a fit; assuming she doesn't end up accepting the burgers as acceptable, at least.

[dammit how'd you predict the 'so moe i could die' ending now i have to come up with something else :<]

>You're smart enough to keep a well-balanced diet when you can afford it, so no-one'll be expecting you to ravage the fishmarkets.
>You can get Harami some fish sticks as part of the kids' meal. Hopefully that'll be enough to keep her from stamping out the place in a huff.

Awesome Harami's never going to trust us ever again.

> Let's start off small for Harami. "I'll take the #1 combo, and she'll the kids' MikoMiko Burger Meal."

She accidentally the whole kids' Burger Meal?
>"Number one combo and a kids' Mikomiko Burger Meal that'll be 850 yen please."
Harami slips you a note, and you place it on the table. It's a 1000 yen bill - or at least a good enough imitation that the attendant is fooled.
"OK here's your 150 change go find a seat can I get a number one combo and a kids' Mikomiko Burger Meal?"
She calls out to the cooking staff behind her, who promptly get to work. Harami walks off to find a table for you both to sit at, and a few minutes later you sit beside her with two bags in your hand. You offer her the kids' meal, and promptly start working your way into yours.

>Harami pulls out the burger in her own bag. She seems thankful that it's smaller than yours. She sniffs at it once or twice, struck by a wave of smells she doesn't recognise, and pouts as she looks up at you.
"Are you sure these are edible? Maybe I have a different physiology from you, and..."

[Hello Purvis]

>"You'll love it."
>Grin.
>"Then you can get your advisor hooked on it and make him feel even more conflicted and guilty about things."

[Zengar Zombolt]

>"You'll love it."

>"Because surely... I'm lovin' it."

[Sana]

BARAPPAPPAPPAAAAAAA
>Pick up a fry...and EAT IT

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"You'll love it."
>Grin.
>"Then you can get your advisor hooked on it and make him feel even more conflicted and guilty about things."

>"I don't think Shujinko would so much as look at one of these burgers, let alone eat it."
Harami's statement serves to frighten herself.

>"Because surely... I'm lovin' it."

>Someone's ringtone goes off in the background. Badabapabaaaa~

>Pick up a fry...and EAT IT

>You grin as you bite into the fry, trying to win over Harami's favour. It doesn't seem to work - though she doesn't make her awkwardness obvious, she edges her chair backwards a little.

>Harami's worked through several of the fish sticks, but she hasn't found the courage to start on the burger yet. You can barely hear her eat over the sound of that customer in the booth, even though he's several tables behind you.

[Sect]

> Start on our own burger.

[FinnKaenbyou]

> Start on our own burger.

>It's gone a little cold now, but it's still edible. You make an effort to exaggerate your smile as you eat at it, hoping that'll convince Harami that it's not poisonous.
It's a slow and gradual move, but eventually she picks up the burger, pulls it towards her lips, and gives it a tiny nibble. You see her wincing, ready to be ill.
She relaxes. "Hm. Edible." She starts eating at the rest of it - not at a ravenous pace, but decent enough that you only have to wait a few minutes for her to finish.
"So," she says as she wipes her face with the napkin like it's a handkerchief. "Where now?"

[Kips McKipzerson]

"Hm. Edible."

>so where's pesco's cameo?  :derp:
>What place do we know thats good for after a meal, Like a park or something?

[E-Nazrin]

>"Have you ever been on a date? Because babe, even without the prehensile part, you fine."
>Whose ringtone was that?
>Do we have any idea what that guy in the other booth was talking about?
>Remember, if we can overhear him, then others can probably overhear us. At least be vague about fight planning in public!
>"Well, we could probably pick up some more supplies for the event you're running."
>Surely there's at least somewhere to pick up a baseball bat...
>We also need some explanation for Harami wearing that backpack all the time. Maybe give her something for self-defense in there, too.

[Sect]

You could also go back to the dorms and change. Just saying.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>so where's pesco's cameo?  :derp:
>What place do we know thats good for after a meal, Like a park or something?

>That's a bit of a vague phrasing. There's not enough room for a park in Gensoushima - the best you've got is probably the aquarium.

>"Have you ever been on a date? Because babe, even without the prehensile part, you fine."
>Whose ringtone was that?
>Do we have any idea what that guy in the other booth was talking about?

>We also need some explanation for Harami wearing that backpack all the time. Maybe give her something for self-defense in there, too.

>You feel dirty for chatting up a twelve year old girl.
>It was the ringtone of the woman behind you, a single mother desperately trying to get her kid to eat his goddamn meal rather than painting the walls with it.
>He's the only voice other than Harami's you can hear in the restaurant, mainly because it's so goddamn loud. You see other customers glaring in the booth's direction as he yells "THAT WAS GREAT, GET ME ANOTHER!" every two minutes.
>Harami sees you've started the double talk, and joins in.
"I think I could use some safety gear, in case things go wrong." She doesn't go into specifics - mainly because she isn't sure of them - but a melee weapon is probably always a good idea.

You could also go back to the dorms and change. Just saying.

>That you could! Will you?

[Sect]

> "Why don't we head back to the dorm so you can change?"
> Hm... we need to get a swimsuit for Harami. She really can't swim around in these new clothes like she can in that dress of hers...

[FinnKaenbyou]

> "Why don't we head back to the dorm so you can change?"
> Hm... we need to get a swimsuit for Harami. She really can't swim around in these new clothes like she can in that dress of hers...

>Harami groans. "Do we have to? Surely we can go walking for a little longer before I have to put on...that." She glares at the bag of clothes you bought her...
>The dorm's between the Kawashiro DSaSE and where you are now, so you may as well head to the dorm on the way over if you're going to get her a swimsuit.

[Sect]

> "Hm... well... all right, we can go ahead and walk around, I guess."
> Is there a circuit we can take that will take us to interesting sights, avoid the dorms and possible parol officers, and take us to Kawashiro's? If there is, take her along that way.

[FinnKaenbyou]

> "Hm... well... all right, we can go ahead and walk around, I guess."
> Is there a circuit we can take that will take us to interesting sights, avoid the dorms and possible parol officers, and take us to Kawashiro's? If there is, take her along that way.

>Frankly, the dorms are probably the worst place to be right now. If the school is on the lookout for runaway students, that's the obvious first stop.
The path around heads past the White Rock, the old arcade and the aquarium before reaching Kawashiro's. Shouldn't lead to any issues with the school, though.

[Sect]

> Let's go that way. The aquarium... actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go there. We might get a little intel...?
> Play tour guide for Harami.

[FinnKaenbyou]

> Let's go that way. The aquarium... actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go there. We might get a little intel...?
> Play tour guide for Harami.

>"And on your left, you'll see the old arcade where every cabinet's at least five years old!"
Arcades were never your thing, but Okuu's something of a fanatic. Apparently the games are her main way of unwinding when she isn't studying in some shape or form, though you've never seen her down here.
>Harami nods with every landmark or building you point out. She doesn't seem interested as much as she's considering the strategic value of these buildings.

>Passing the White Rock, you can hear the sound of an argument coming from inside.

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Try to eavesdrop on it,  but at the smallest sign of danger, abscond.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Try to eavesdrop on it,  but at the smallest sign of danger, abscond.

>There are several voices. One is older than the rest, and seems to be the only one not shouting.
"I've had it up to here with you and your friends, frankly. I want you out of my establishment, and I want you to stay out-"
"Shut it, granny!" one of the younger voices yells out. "We can hang out wherever the hell we want, and we're not gonna let some grandma boss us around!"
"I-I'll call your school! Tell your parents!"
"Like you'd have the guts," another of the voices calls out. "Go on! Do it! I dare ya!"

>"Your kind doesn't seem to respect its elders," Harami mutters to you.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Eh, some don't. Everybody has their punks and their people with no hope. Wouldn't surprise me if there's dolphins like that, too."
>Observe the troublemakers, so we can properly avoid them in the future.

[Sect]

> "Like certain jerk advisors."
> Imagine that certain jerk advisor as a street tough.

[FinnKaenbyou]

>"Eh, some don't. Everybody has their punks and their people with no hope. Wouldn't surprise me if there's dolphins like that, too."
>Observe the troublemakers, so we can properly avoid them in the future.

>Harami frowns, but doesn't object to the point.
>They're a band of four kids. Middle schoolers? Fifteen, sixteen at a push. They seem to be leading behind the one in short blue hair, the one handing out most of the threats to old lady Whiterock.

> "Like certain jerk advisors."
> Imagine that certain jerk advisor as a street tough.

>Harami now makes a deliberate point of not responding.
>"If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you son,
I got 99 problems but the humes ain't one!"
Note to self. Never let this line of thought cross your mind ever again.

[Sect]

> Is there a payphone around here we could call the cops with?
