>"Huh ? Like what ?"

[AzyWng]

>What kinds of recipes, specifically?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Huh ? Like what ?"

>What kinds of recipes, specifically?

>"Some dishes her creator and her creator's assistant liked... As much as I'd like to give them a try, the ingredients she suggests are rather hard to come by. Especially since a lot of these dishes are foreign."

[Neovereign]

>"Oh..."
>Eye Youmu's phantom half.
>"Do you uh, mind me asking a bit of questions? I mean, they are kind of silly questions..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh..."
>Eye Youmu's phantom half.
>"Do you uh, mind me asking a bit of questions? I mean, they are kind of silly questions..."

>"Um... No... I don't mind..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"How does it feel? Like, how would it feel if I touched it? Or how would it feel to you if someone touches it. And does it feel like a part of you? Can you control it yourself?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"How does it feel? Like, how would it feel if I touched it? Or how would it feel to you if someone touches it. And does it feel like a part of you? Can you control it yourself?"

>"Well... Um... It would feel weird for me... And for you, probably a bit cold. And it does feel like a part of me because, well, it is... And I can control it."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Hm... And it can pass through things too?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Hm... And it can pass through things too?"

>"Well it's a phantom, so yes..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Cool..."
>Look back over to where we came in.
>"I wonder what ladu Yukari's been doing that's so important..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Cool..."
>Look back over to where we came in.
>"I wonder what ladu Yukari's been doing that's so important..."

>"I'm honestly not sure." says Youmu, "She came over for tea with lady Yuyuko, and usually that means the two of them just sit out there, talking. What they talk about is beyond me. I'm usually instructed to leave them alone unless called."

[Neovereign]

>"Oh..."
>Take the bucket out of our inventory.
>Kick it.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh..."
>Take the bucket out of our inventory.

>You take out the bucket from your satchel.
>"What's with the bucket?" Youmu raises and eyebrow.
>Everyone else is giving you a curious look as well.

>Kick it.

>You stub your toe and die from the resulting infection.

[Neovereign]

>"I got this from helping someone along the way when I was searching for you and Sumireko. Not too sure why I kept it with me here."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I got this from helping someone along the way when I was searching for you and Sumireko. Not too sure why I kept it with me here."

>"Well, I mean, a bucket could be useful, right?" Renko asks, "You've had to have some reason to keep it..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Well, yea. But I don't really have that much space to carry it with me everywhere. I could probably drop it off and pick it up another time when it's needed."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well, yea. But I don't really have that much space to carry it with me everywhere. I could probably drop it off and pick it up another time when it's needed."

>"I could carry it for you if you want." Renko offers, "There's plenty of space in my bag."
>"I smell something burning..." Sumireko says in Matenshi's voice.
>"AAAAAAAAAAAH! I FORGOT ABOUT THE STOVE!" Youmu quickly sprints out of the room.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Uh oh...."
>Fidget a bit.
>"...oh hey Matenshi, is everything alright with you two ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Uh oh...."
>Fidget a bit.

>"I-I'm sure things will be fine..." Renko comments.
>"Yeah, Youmu is a good cook." says Chen, "She'll probably fix it somehow."

>"...oh hey Matenshi, is everything alright with you two ?"

>"Well we aren't fighting, are we?" Sumireko frowns.
>_

[Monarda]

>"Oh not that.... i meant if you both were feeling alright, we still have zero clues about how this happened to you two, so i'm kinda worried for side effects."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh not that.... i meant if you both were feeling alright, we still have zero clues about how this happened to you two, so i'm kinda worried for side effects."

>"Well, I don't really feel any different from before." says Matenshi, "Neither does she."
>_

[Monarda]

>Smile.
>"Good ! I don`t want any more harm to befall my friends again."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Smile.
>"Good ! I don`t want any more harm to befall my friends again."

>"Friends? No offense, but I'm not your friend, Maribel. I barely know you. If anything we're more of acquaintances..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Oh.."
>Slightly sad face.
>"Right... but that doesn`t stop us from getting to know each other better right ? It doesn`t feel right to just leave it like this."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh.."
>Slightly sad face.
>"Right... but that doesn`t stop us from getting to know each other better right ? It doesn`t feel right to just leave it like this."

>"No, I suppose it doesn't... But honestly I'd like to be separated from Sumireko as soon as possible, and then return to my mother's plane so that I may prepare to take on her mantle... So that would leave little time to move beyond mere acquaintances."
>_

[Monarda]

>"I guess, although we don`t really have any clues about it, so it might take a while... does that mean we will never cross paths again ? Not even a letter ?"
>Frown a little.
>"Taking mother`s mantle..... will i have to do that too... ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I guess, although we don`t really have any clues about it, so it might take a while... does that mean we will never cross paths again ? Not even a letter ?"

>"Why would I even write a letter?" Matenshi makes Sumireko's body frown.

>Frown a little.
>"Taking mother`s mantle..... will i have to do that too... ?"

>"Of course not. You are unfit to take up the mantle of an archangel. And how dare you even ask to replace my mother's occupation when the title rightfully belongs to me!"
>Matenshi scowls.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I-I didn't mean it like that. Sorry."

[Monarda]

>"No no ! That`s not what i meant ! It`s just... that maybe i will be at the same place you are now.... to follow the steps of my mother..."
>Sad face.
>"I... i`m sorry... i never meant to say anything harmful... i`m just no good...."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I-I didn't mean it like that. Sorry."

>"No no ! That`s not what i meant ! It`s just... that maybe i will be at the same place you are now.... to follow the steps of my mother..."

>"Oh..." Matenshi merely frowns again, "In that case, I wouldn't know. It would ultimately your decision as well as your mother's..."

>Sad face.
>"I... i`m sorry... i never meant to say anything harmful... i`m just no good...."

>"Don't say that, Merry." Renko puts a hand on your shoulder, "You're a very good person, no matter what. Please don't doubt yourself like that..."
