This is an Unprecedented Shino Affair... WHAT?!

[Hello Purvis]

>Through mouthfuls of cupcake: "Yeah, if you were going to leave, it'd be empty. If you were staying, it wouldn't be."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Do we associate strawberries with anything in particular?
>"Mmm, awesome."
>Try for another one.
>Do we have any idea where he might have gotten these? If not, ask.

>Not really; they just so happen to be a fruit you really like.
<"Mmm, awesome~"
>You go for another one and succeed.
>"Guess you like them then?"
>You have a sneak feeling that he wouldn't have been able to get hold of them that quickly...
<"Mmhm! How did you get these?"
>"A delivery. They came whilst you were in there."

>Through mouthfuls of cupcake: "Yeah, if you were going to leave, it'd be empty. If you were staying, it wouldn't be."

>You eat through another cup-cake, and leave your manners behind.
<"If yof were goif to leaf, it'f be empf. If you were faying, it wouldn't."
>Kanjou laughs a little.
>"Can a guy not take a break? Honestly."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, who sent 'em?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Oh, who sent 'em?"

<"Oh, who sent 'em?"
>"Why a charming human who wanted to thank us for our hard work."
>Kanjou smiles and chomps down on one of the cakes. To his side, you see a copy of a newspaper.
>"So, you going to tell me what happened out there?"

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"I got your books back, I didn't open the boring cursed one before you asked, Marisa dropped in, Flandre decided to play, and I got to have a nice spot of tea with Sakuya. It was a nice visit."
>Teehee.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"I got your books back, I didn't open the boring cursed one before you asked, Marisa dropped in, Flandre decided to play, and I got to have a nice spot of tea with Sakuya. It was a nice visit."
>Teehee.

<"Well, I got your books back; I didn't open the boring book before you ask."
>"I wasn't going to."
<"That's when Marisa dropped in! Flandre decided to play at the same time. After that, I got to have a nice spot of tea with Sakuya."
>You giggle a little bit here.
<"All in all, a nice visit."
>Kanjou looks out toward the village and grins a little.
>"Tea? With Sakuya? With all of that going on? Next you'll tell me you two are lovers or something."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"And why would I tell you that? We just thought it was best to let Marisa and Patche handle it, since it was their fault anyways."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"And why would I tell you that? We just thought it was best to let Marisa and Patche handle it, since it was their fault anyways."

<"And why would I tell you that? We just thought it was best to let Marisa and Patche handle it."
>"Hmm, if it happened in the library, I could see Sakuya leaving it be."
<"It was their fault anyway."
>"Any incident that happens at Voile is ALWAYS caused by Marisa."

>He sort of chuckles at this.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"I dunno, that little devil probably causes some trouble, too."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"I dunno, that little devil probably causes some trouble, too."

<"I dunno, that little devil probably cause some trouble too."
>"I know, I know."

>Kanjou takes another bite out of the cakes and begins to stand up.
>"Here come the kids."
>He isn't joking. There seem to be a group of children running towards the shrine.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Get our game face on.
>What do we usually end up doing with kids?
>Do we recognize any of them?

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Get our game face on.
>What do we usually end up doing with kids?
>Do we recognize any of them?

>You don't really have a game face... but you have a BROOM! Which you did not steal, by the way. Not really, anyway.
>You start sweeping as a result; looking like you're doing stuff.

>Amuse them, mostly. They normally come to make a donation once every week; though some like to come running around because 'you're a funny girl.'
>You try to teach them... stuff, but it's either Keine who intervenes or Kanjou, who has just floated up onto the roof of the shrine.
>He left the cakes behind, though. Wonder if that was intentional?

>They are from the school; so you're bound to recognize them.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Let the little buggers approach.
>"Hey kids! How was class?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Let the little buggers approach.
>"Hey kids! How was class?"

>Nothing you can do to stop them.
>As they come closer, you can see most of them smiling; that's always a good sign.
<"Hey kids! How was class?"
>"It was fuuuuun!"
>"And kind of scary... Miss Keine can be scary."
>"But it was funny; she had a knife in her hat."
>"Miss Kanjou, can knives be used to make a hat look nice?"

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, you know how weird fashion can be. What'd you all learn in class today?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Well, you know how weird fashion can be. What'd you all learn in class today?"

<"Well, you know how weird fashion can be."
>You chuckle to yourself on that one.
<"So, what did you all learn in class today?"
>"I learnt not to annoy Keine-sensei!"
>"I learnt how not to use a knife."
>"I learnt not to ask Keine-sensei silly questions."
>Sounds like a non-learning day.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Laugh.
>"The lesson is, don't fire off danmaku in town. Unless you're Yuka."
>Lead them over toward a nice place on the grounds for them to play.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Laugh.
>"The lesson is, don't fire off danmaku in town. Unless you're Yuka."
>Lead them over toward a nice place on the grounds for them to play.

>You can't help but laugh; children are just so amusing.
<"The lesson is, don't fire off danmaku in town. Unless you're Yuuka."
>No sooner have you mentioned Yuuka, most of the kids either squeak or shudder.
>A couple of them don't; but just nod their heads in what you think is them understanding.

>You attempt to lead them to a place to play, but a couple have wandered up to the donation box.
>A few others are looking at the cakes.
>"Miss Kanjou... May we have one, please?"

>There's one kid, in particular, who has started to tug on one of your sleeves.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Are there enough cakes to feed the munchkin horde?
>Look at sleeve-tugger.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Are there enough cakes to feed the munchkin horde?
>Look at sleeve-tugger.

>Surprisingly, yes. That must have been a bigger delivery then you thought.

>You look at the sleeve-tugger and notice the girl in question has short, messy hair, with an odd mark down her cheek.
>"Where's Kazami?"

>...

[Momijibot]

>Do we know of a Kazami besides Kazami Yuuka?

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Do we know of a Kazami besides Kazami Yuuka?

>Not that you're aware of... Though it's not the first time someone has come asking for Kazami at the shrine.
>Come to think of it, you know this girl. She was attacked by a youkai not long ago, but was saved and taken into the village.
>The mark is what the youkai caused.
>It still looks kind of painful, even now.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Frown: "Which Kazami?"
>To the group, "Line up, I'll give you each one."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Frown: "Which Kazami?"
>To the group, "Line up, I'll give you each one."

>You turn to the group first; best to stop them running amok.
<"Line up first; then I'll give you each one."
>A chorus of 'YAYS' and such draw all the kids into a smart looking line.

>You turn back to the child by you and frown at her.
<"Which Kazami?"
>"Kazami Kazami~"
>"Now now; you can't go demanding her all the time."
>Oh, if it isn't Keine.

>She manages to get the girl to join the others in the line.

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>Go distribute pastries. One per kid.
>"Oh, hey Sensei. What brings you?"

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>Go distribute pastries. One per kid.
>"Oh, hey Sensei. What brings you?"

>You gather the cakes and start to hand them to each of them, one by one.
>Once they all have one...
>"Thank you, Miss Kanjou."
>They say this and circle around a bit; eating, laughing and generally playing about.

<"Oh hey Sensei. What brings you here?"
>"Oh, just making sure that you don't start anything."
>Damn that teacher. She chuckles a little bit; so for once, she might actually be joking.
>"Well, actually, I just wanted to make sure they were ok. A teacher can grow close to their students, you know."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Did you think something was going to happen to them? They shouldn't have anything to worry about in town."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Did you think something was going to happen to them? They shouldn't have anything to worry about in town."

<"Did you think something was going to happen to them?"
>"We...well not really..."
<"They're in the village. They shouldn't have anything to worry about."
>Keine sighs and nods in agreement.

>"I know. It's just... I've been getting a little restless lately."

>...

[Hello Purvis]

>"Why, what's been bothering you?"

[The Unlimited RR]

>"I know. It's just... I've been getting a little restless lately."

>...

>Must be that time of the month, eh? Sorry, sorry.  I should be hanged for that.
>"Trust me, you've got nothing to worry about.  I'm sure they'll be okay!"
>Offer whatever tea you have in hand
