[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Thank you."
>Let's take our dessert, and pass the others theirs.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "Thank you."
>Let's take our dessert, and pass the others theirs.

>Amaya smiles and walks off.

>You pass the desserts to their respective eaters, and take your own.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's dig in! And be sure to gauge their reactions to the desserts as well.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's dig in! And be sure to gauge their reactions to the desserts as well.

>You dig in to the dessert.
>It's extremely sweet - but not so rich to the point of it being sickly.

>Patchouli tucks into her dessert, and you can immediately see that she loves it.
>Koakuma digs in too, and she sighs contentedly.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "So, I take it that you like it then?"
>"Just to let you know though, there's still other places to see after this."
>Let's keep at it then, we may have to make this a usual dessert.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "So, I take it that you like it then?"
>"Just to let you know though, there's still other places to see after this."
>Let's keep at it then, we may have to make this a usual dessert.

>Patchouli nods, "Impeccable food... what else can be expected, though?"
>Koakuma smiles, "It's amazing~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Well, this is one of my favored dining establishments, so it's to be expected."
>"Anyways, the next destinations are the Main Square, and the Main Avenue."
>Then smirk. "And then there's a special bonus, you get to enjoy it because you're considered members of the staff."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Well, this is one of my favored dining establishments, so it's to be expected."
>"Anyways, the next destinations are the Main Square, and the Main Avenue."
>Then smirk. "And then there's a special bonus, you get to enjoy it because you're considered members of the staff."

>Koakuma smiles, "So, just how big is this Ancient City?"
>Patchouli nods, "Yes, I was curious about that, too... none of the books in my library have an even vaguely accurate measurement or size comparison."

[Hanzo K.]

>Hmm, that IS a good question. Just how big and populated is it? We should be able to recall the groundplans and census data easily enough.
>"Well, as for population, the census showed that the inhabitants number at [insert applicable census number], and size-wise, it's [insert groundplans info here]."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Hmm, that IS a good question. Just how big and populated is it? We should be able to recall the groundplans and census data easily enough.
>"Well, as for population, the census showed that the inhabitants number at around 900 to 1300, and size-wise, it's 10 square miles."

(Yay for creativity~!)

>Patchouli raises her eyebrows, "That is big."
>Koakuma blinks, "So many people..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "Certainly more than the Human Village, that's for certain."
>Smirk. "But then again, it's just that, a village. This my friends, is a city!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "Certainly more than the Human Village, that's for certain."
>Smirk. "But then again, it's just that, a village. This my friends, is a city!"

>Patchouli smirks, "And a rather interesting city at that."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "It's home at least."
>Have they finished their desserts yet?
>Have we finished ours?

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "It's home at least."
>Have they finished their desserts yet?

>Koakuma has finished her jelly.
>Patchouli has just finished her rice-cakes.

>Have we finished ours?

>Yes, you have finished yours, too.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "Well then, all that's left to do here is pay, and you just leave that to me."
>Let's flag down Amaya and get the check.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "Well then, all that's left to do here is pay, and you just leave that to me."
>Let's flag down Amaya and get the check.

>Patchouli and Koakuma smile gratefully.

>You manage to flag down Amaya as she walks past, and she already has the check.
>She places the check on the table, "That's 7150~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Alright then."
>Let's set the payment then, and set aside an extra 800 as a tip.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Nod. "Alright then."
>Let's set the payment then, and set aside an extra 800 as a tip.

>You hand over the money, and the extra 800 as a tip.
>Amaya bows her head gratefully, "Thank you for dining here today~"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile. "It's always nice to eat here after all."
>Look towards Koa and Patchy. "Well, let's be off then. Next Stop: the Main Avenue!"
>Let's roll!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile. "It's always nice to eat here after all."
>Look towards Koa and Patchy. "Well, let's be off then. Next Stop: the Main Avenue!"
>Let's roll!

>You all get up and head for the Main Avenue.

>You arrive at the Main Avenue. It's busy as usual - with what seems to be the entire populace of the Ancient City hanging around there.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Welcome to the Main Avenue, all the shopping and gatherings usually takes place here. Failing that, our next destination, the Main Square."
>"Let's look around shall we? It's been a while since I've had a chance to just relax and look around. Last time I was here, I was in a terrible rush due to that little incident."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Welcome to the Main Avenue, all the shopping and gatherings usually takes place here. Failing that, our next destination, the Main Square."
>"Let's look around shall we? It's been a while since I've had a chance to just relax and look around. Last time I was here, I was in a terrible rush due to that little incident."

>Patchouli and Koakuma look around, pretty impressed at the size.

>You all have a look around the Main Avenue, weaving in and out of the fairy sizeable crowd.

[Hanzo K.]

>Are there any shops in the vicinity that we usually visit?

[Nekomata-chan]

>Are there any shops in the vicinity that we usually visit?

>Well, there's a nice flower shop that you visit occasionally - they bring imported flowers from the surface.
>There is also a nice hat-shop that Koishi window-shops in. They also repair her hat if it gets damaged
>There's a jeweller's, too. As well as:
-A shoe shop
-A pet shop
-A hand-fan shop
-Random item shop (you've heard it be compared to a shop called Kourindou on the surface)

[Hanzo K.]

>How much funds do we have left?
>"Well, anything in particular you want to visit? There's several rather nice shops in our immediate area."
>"There's a Pet Shop, a Jeweller's, a Cobbler's, A rather nice little shop that sells hand-fans, a Flower Shop that imports from the surface, A nice little Hat Shop that Koishi visits often, and a shop that sells a little bit of everything. I've heard it be compared to that secondhand shop up on the surface."

[Nekomata-chan]

>How much funds do we have left?

>You have about 6000 left.

>"Well, anything in particular you want to visit? There's several rather nice shops in our immediate area."
>"There's a Pet Shop, a Jeweller's, a Cobbler's, A rather nice little shop that sells hand-fans, a Flower Shop that imports from the surface, A nice little Hat Shop that Koishi visits often, and a shop that sells a little bit of everything. I've heard it be compared to that secondhand shop up on the surface."

>Patchouli and Koakuma look at each other.
>Koakuma grins, "I'm okay, actually~"
>Patchouli smiles, "Yes, I'm fine, too."

[Hanzo K.]

>"....Perhaps I should have brought more funds."
>Chuckle. "Then again, had I known this would have turned into a 'Girl's Day Out', I would have brought more than I did."
>"At any rate, I do wonder what that Secondhand shop has in stock today. Perhaps I'll find some new books to add to my collection."
>Let's head there!

[Nekomata-chan]

>"....Perhaps I should have brought more funds."
>Chuckle. "Then again, had I known this would have turned into a 'Girl's Day Out', I would have brought more than I did."

>Koakuma giggles, "Some things you just can't predict~!"

>"At any rate, I do wonder what that Secondhand shop has in stock today. Perhaps I'll find some new books to add to my collection."
>Let's head there!

>You head for the secondhand shop.

>It's a small shop, but with a very eclectic stock.
>The Oni at the counter, a young and immature looking man, looks up as you walk in, "Yo, how's it hanging?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle. "It's been eventful at least. Any new books in stock?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Chuckle. "It's been eventful at least. Any new books in stock?"

>He aims a finger at a large shelf of books, "All of them over there. New in this mornin'."
