Mageblade, all we need to do is whack legs in a sweeping pattern to stop them advancing, cant run at full pelt and keep jumping/avoiding.

>writing

"We just need to slow them down, Right?" You ask, as you move the the front of the cart,
"Yeah, but Emi's tied up making sure we don't getblown up and I have to drive" Derrick says.

You pull the mageblade out of your pocket, and click open the guard. "Leave it to me" You say with a smile.
"You're going to-"
"Whatever you do, do it fast" Derrick says.
"Gotcha" You reply.

Can't go out the back, that'd make you a target for the archers... so you grab the front of the cart's roof and swing yourself up. There's a small lip up here, so that cargo on the roof doesn't fall off. It also helps when you need to take cover.

Still, an arrow whizzes over your head as you create your blade. It starts out short... too short.

It needs to be longer...

Yo focus your attention on the blade, forcing it to lengthen. You still can't make it sharp, but you still don't need it to be sharp. You just need it to be long...

As the blade gets closer to the length you think it needs to be. You poke your head up, lift yourself so you can get your arm over the back lip, and swing your blade across the front row of riders.

>[1/2]

In this position it's hard to put much power behind the swing, but you manage to knock one of the lizards into the one next to it. It doesn't stop them, but they do lose ground.

You get up onto one knee to take another swing, tipping yourself to one side as another shot flies towards you. Then you swing again.

This time you smack the lead lizard right in the head. It yelps and trips, taking out the archer behind it.

You keep swiping, again and again. The riders have gotten wise, treating this like a fight by dodging and blocking your attacks. But every time you swing, they fall back a little bit more...

Until they slow down, and stop entirely.

"Nice work, Yuu!" Derrick shouts. "The gates are up ahead. They won't chase us anymore"
"Oh thank god..." Emi says. The water shield behind the cart collapses, and you hear a thud.
"Are you guys alright?" Ilica asks.
"Yeah" You say.
"No" Emi says.

You stop focusing and let the blade disappear, then swing back down into the front door of the cart. Emi is laying on the floor on her back, with her tail trailing everywhere rather than coilde dup like it usually is.

"Emi?" You ask. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" She says. "Just a little strained. I don't think I've ever had to hold a barrier that long before..."
"It's a good thing you could do it, otherwise we'd've been toast" Ilica says.

"Who were those guys?" You ask.
"Raiders, bandits, highwaymen" Derrick says. "They'd never come this close to Leon before... they must be taking advantage of the chaos"
"What were they riding?" You ask.

"Raptors" Derrick says. "Ever since the cart was invented, horses have fallen out of favour. But Raptors serve a purpose that a cart can't"
"And what's that?" You ask.
"They bite, they claw, they scratch" Ilica says. "Hard to fight the rider when the mount is trying to eat you"

"They looked mean" You say.
"That's the point" Derrick says.
"Are they tasty?" You ask.

The cart gets quiet for a moment.

"Seriously?" Ilica asks.
"I don't think I've ever eaten Raptor before..." Derrick says. "How about you, Emi?"

"Me neither" She says, still breathless from holding the barrier. "If it's anything like regular lizard meat, then it might be pretty good"

"Neat" You say.
"Alright. Here we are" Derrick says. "Welcome back to Sherton, guys"

You look out the front, and see the familiar sights of the buildings just beyond the west gate. It takes a few seconds for Derrick to confirm things with the guards, and then the cart rolls in.

>cont.

"They're sure making quick work of the repairs" Derrick says.
"Think they'll be rebuilding the tower that fell?" Ilica asks.

"I hope they don't... even though I know they will" Derrick says.
"Ahh, the eternal dick-waving contest of Sherton" Ilica says.

"Why would they make a contest out of waving their dicks?" You ask. "Or is that how you build a tower?"
"Ilica means that the towers are there to stoke their owner's ego" Emi says.

You are once again wrapped up. You don't know what being tired has to do with needing heat, but you don't complain.

"Ego?" You ask.
"That is a unit of study that we will not be going into today" Emi says. "Sorry, Yuu"
"Aww..." You say.

"Where are we going?" Ilica asks.
"I was heading to the lot" Derrick says.
"You wanna carry those bolts the whole way?" She asks.
"Right... I almost forgot about our cargo" He says. "I guess we could go straight to the guild, unless you have a better idea"

"We should tell them about what happened" You say.'
"Wouldn't we be better off going to the guard?" Derrick asks.
"They can tell the guard" You reply.

Ilica giggles. "Yuu is just exciiiiited~" She says with a familiar grin.
"Why would I be excited?" You ask.

Ilica sighs. "Y'know Yuu..." She says.

Derrick chuckles. "I think he's impervious to your teasing, Ilica"
Ilica crosses her arms and huffs. "Just wait until we see that redhead again... then we'll see who's laughing"
Derrick groans. "Please don't..." He says.

Ilica throws her head back and laughs.

"Why would I be excited to see Stella?" You ask Emi.
Emi smiles. "You'll understand someday" She says.

You frown. Maybe Stella could explain it...

>[1/2]

>>46592565
I am really sorry, but the portal looks like a dick and two balls.

>>46595005
What has been seen, can not be unseen.

evidently the gods are literally fucking with people.

"Here we are" Derrick says, as the cart rolls to a stop. "I'm gonna go in and let themknow we're here. Yuu, could you start unloading?"

"I can't move" You say.
Derrick looks back into the passenger compartment, and sighs. "Emi, could you please release Yuu so he could please start unloading?"
"Awww maan" Emi says, as you fel her coils loosening.

"The arrows are underneath. I'll open it up" Ilica says as she hops off.

Once you're free of Emi, you open the back door and jump out. Ilica is beside the cart, opening up the storage underneath it.

"Why did they need us to bring these here?" You ask, as you pull out the first of the boxes. Each one has about 12 fairly large arrows in it. Too big to be launched from a regular bow.

"The place that they make 'em in here got damaged when the tower blew up, and they had been running short after a few hunts" Ilica says. "Contique had spares, so they got us to bring them over"
"Oh" You say. "That's nice of us"
"It's not like we aren't getting paid" Ilica says. "You can just bring that inside and put it somewhere"

"Alright" You say, as you turn and head to the door.

The inside looks the same as it did before, which looks pretty much the same as the place in Contique. You wonder if this one has a bath too...

Well, it doesn't really matter. You put the box on a table close to the door, and look around as Derrick and a hunter walk over to you.

"Thanks for this, you kids" The hunter says. "We'd've been in rough shape if something came up while we were short on these"
"The hunters do good work, it's only natural that we'd want to help out" Derrick says.
"And it doesn't pay so bad" The hunter says.
"That too" Derrick replies.

"What shoots these?" You ask the hunter.
"Hand ballistas" Derrick says. "They probably have a few here, if you want to see one"

"We keep a few around. I think there's one in the other room if you want to see it" The hunter says.
"Sure" You say.
"Alright" He says. Then he heads into the room behind the desk, and comes back a few seconds later with a very large crossbow. It's about al long as you are tall, with a bow that's as long as your armspan.

"Wow" You say.
"Yep. This is a hand ballista" The hunter says. He then drops it into your hands.

It's heavy, but you manage to get a hold of it. "You guys use these?" You ask.
"Whoa, this ones got some strength to him" The hunter says. "And yeah. Easiest way to take out a monster without getting near its jaws is with these. A barrage of magic, bolts, and magic bolts'll usually take out anything not quick enough to get out of the way"

"And if they are quick enough?" You ask.
"Well, that's why hunters exist in the first place" He says. "If we could solve all our problems from half a mile out, we wouldn't need swords"
"That makes sense" You say.

"Now, give that here" The hunter says, as he takes the ballista from you. "If Terse sees me lettin' kids handle his ballista he's gonna be good and pissed"

"We should keep hauling anyway" Derrick says. "Come on Yuu, let's get the rest of these out"
"Kay" You say.

>[1/2]

You and Derrick haul the rest of the arrows in. 8 boxes of them in total.

The hunter says he'd love to help, but he has to write down that they recieved the arrows, and put them in inventory.

"I thought that was the clerk's job" Derrick says.
"Usually, yes" The hunter replies. "But today is Stel's day off, so ol' Bors is stuck on paperwork duty"
"Stella's not here?" You ask.

"Nope" He says.

The sound of Ilica giggling draws your attention. "What?" You ask.
"Oh, nothing" She replies.

Weird... but llica's laughter isn't important right now. You almost forgot about the other thing you were supposed to do.

"Right" You say. "Weren't we going to tell them about the raptors?"
"Yes! I almost forgot" Derrick says. "We were attacked by a group of men riding raptors while we were on our way here"

"Crooks, huh?" Bors says. "I'll let the guard know about it for you, if you want"
"That'd be helpful. We need to get going" Derrick says.
"With a raptor gang out there?" He asks.
"We're not going the same way" Derrick says.

"It usually doesn't matter. Chances are they're going after anyone near here" Bors says. "They had to skimp on the road patrols after losing all those men to the legion. I wouldn't go out there right now, not unless you think you can get away from them again"

Derrick looks troubled. "I think we could..."
"Not until Emi's recovered we can't" Ilica says. "Unless you've got another way to stop them from blowing up the cart"

"Damn..." Derrick says.

Probably end up with Yue just waving and saying "oh, thats where you were, ok then".

Dont get me wrong, rabbitfolk are cute, but we hardly know her.

>>46596952
I don't have that much of a problem with the option itself, it would just be a lot better if it was actually an option and not a write that made me feel like anons are being a little clingy.

>>46596991
I think people just like collecting more than really wanting her.

>>46597027
>I just want to purge all the monster girls
So mass genocide of all women, since for whatever reason all women are monster girls in this setting except that one girl from before

>>46597018
>>46597027
I think Yue will end up wearing down the heart of either Emi or Ilica as my guess. In what way, who knows. Thats unless he saves someone else along the way and they get attached.

>>46597090
Ooh better idea, switch it so all the girls are normal and the guys are monsters

>>46597123
Emi seems too obvious or at least more like a big sister, Ilica just sounds more fun in my opinion but whatever

>>46597173
I think Emi thinks of Yuu as a little brother-ish kind of way, but thats not really set yet. Ilica seems to like to distract from herself allot.

>>46597090
You make it sound like a bad thing.
>>46597226
Yuu doesn't really know either of them and probably has no idea of romance. Illica might just get high on nip and rape yuu.

>>46597287
They are the two he knows most so far, and are his freinds. Hes not dumb enough to not value them. Romance will just come along once his personality matures a bit more.

"When will Emi recover?" You ask.
"She probably just needs a good night's sleep, and a meal" Ilica says.

Derrick frowns. "And we can't stand up to those guys without her..." He says.
"I can handle it" You say.
"I know that. But you can only hit them, you can't stop them from hitting us" Derrick says.

"So what's the plan?" Ilica asks.
Derrick sighs. "We stay the night here" He says. "Even if Emi recovers in the next few hours, we're still better off leaving in the morning"

"Cool, so now we find ourselves somewhere to stay?" Ilica asks.
"We can't stay here?" You ask.
"I don't think so. In Contique we were under the guild's protection. Here we aren't in need of that, so we'll look somewhere else" Derrick says.

"Oh" You say. "I hope we don't almost get crushed this time"
"You said it" Ilica says. "Should we start looking now?"

"Might as well" Derrick says. "Coming, Yuu?"

>Sure

>I wanna look around town

>Food?

>>46597364

"Sure" You say. "Will there be food?"
"Yeah. Food" Derrick says. "We've had to skip a few meals lately, but I think we have enough coin that we can stop doing that now. We'll find somewhere to stay the night, and then stock up on enough food to get us to Bell's Run"

"Sounds good" Ilica says. "So, where to?"

The 3 of you say goodbye to the hunter, and head back to the cart.

"Well, I don't think we'll be going back to the same place we were in before" Derrick says. "There are a few other places that fit our needs, though"
"Needs?" You ask.
"Far from the generator, with a bed big enough for Emi" Derrick says.

"Oh. I don't think we need to be away from the generator" You say. "I feel fine"
"You do?" Derrick asks.
"Yeah" You say. "It's not like before, where I felt bad. I don't feel any different this time"
"Odd... the generator is definitely on" Derrick says. "When did this start?"

"I dunno. I didn't notice anything strange in Contique either" You say. "Is that bad?"
"Probably not" Derrick says. "But to be on the safe side, we'll find somewhere that's farther from the generator. Maybe once we've settled in we can take a walk over to the generator to see if it really doesn't effect you"

"Kay" You say.

The 3 of you get back onto the cart, and Derrick starts it up. Emi is still relaxing in the back.
"Feel better?" You ask her.
"I've been worse" She says. "Are we heading out?"

"No. We'll stay the night here" Ilica says. "And eat"
"Great!" Emi says "Wake me when there's food"

Emi then turns, and closes her eyes...

You look at Emi for a few seconds, amazed by how quickly she can fall asleep like that. Then you move on.

"Derrick" You say, as you pull the necklace you found in the armory a few days ago out of your pocket. "Look at this"

You hand Derrick the necklace, while the cart is stopped momentarily. "What is it?" You ask.
"I dunno. I was hoping you would" You say.

"Oh yeah" Ilica says. "Emi said it kinda looked like one of the knight order's crests"
"It's not from any orders that I know" Derrick says, as he hands the crest back and speeds up the cart. "If I get a chance, I'll look into it. It could be from an order that was just formed, or an order that's already been disbanded"

"Kay" You say.
"Where'd you get that anyway?" Derrick asks.
"We found it in the armory" You say. "I think it belonged to that girl"
"The one who gave you directions?" Derrick asks.
"Yeah" You say. "It's the same symbol that was on her shield"

"A lady knight in shining armor, and a sinister man in black" Derrick says. "Almost sounds like something out of a story"
"Maybe they are" You say. "If I see them again, I'll have to ask"

"If they're from a story?" Ilica asks. "Why would you ask that?"
"They might say yes" You say.
"And then what?" Ilica asks.
"And then... I dunno. Maybe I get to hear it?" You ask.

"I'd certainly like to know where they came from" Derrick says. "Too many strange happenings going on all at once to be simple coincidence..."
"How many is too many?" Ilica asks.

"The appearance of a chaotic, the ruins no longer being ruined, Madelaine's strange obsession with the ruins, the fact that there are others like her, and now strange people like these..." Derrick says.

"I'm sure there's a reason" You say.
"You are?" Derrick asks.
"Yeah" You say. "We just don't know it yet"
Derrick chuckles. "Well put" He says, as the cart stops. "This place looks good. Sit tight, I'll go in and see if they have any rooms"

>cont.

The four of you all walk into your room. It's pretty big, with a large bed in the center like the one you had before.

You have to resist the urge to dive onto it, even though you really want to.

"Bed!" Emi says, as she slithers quickly over to it. She then moves onto the bed and under the covers. "Blankets, happy"
"Food?" Ilica asks.
"Happier" Emi says.

"We should go do that, then" Derrick says. "There should be some places nearby"

"Can I come?" You ask
"I don't see why not" Derrick says. "You good to hold down the fort until we get back, Ilica?"
"Yeah, I just have to remember to stay away from the sleeping snake" Ilica says. "That tail has a mind of its own, I swear"

"Alright, then we'll be back" Derrick says.

You and Derrick head out of the room, and then the inn.

"There should be something over this way" Derrick says. "Let's try to make this quick. I know she was joking, but Emi's tail is surprisingly active while she's asleep and I know how much Ilica hates getting stuck in there"
"It's not so bad" You say.
"On that point, you two differ" Derrick says.

You walk a little further in silence, before Derrick turns to you again. "Did you learn anything interesting from the notes you got from that woman?" He asks.
"Just that Malieria made all the women into animal hybrids" You say. "And that I can see time... or something"

Derrick sighs. "I'm not sure which of those to question first..." He says. "How could Malieria have done something like that?"
"Because he could see time too" You say.

Derrick laughs. "I think I'll just read through those notes myself, once we get back" He says. "They're still in the cart, yeah?"
"Yeah" You say. "They might have gotten a little messed up when we were being chased, but they should be fine"

"I can always try to put them back in order" He says. "Either way, I'd like to make some sense out of what you just told me, and what you are"
"Me too" You say.

>[1/2]

"Okay, this looks like enough" Derrick says. Both of you now have a bag full of food to bring back.
"I thought we were stocking up for the ride to Bell's Run" You say.
"Later. Probably in the morning before we leave" He says. "I'd like to actually have the cart here for that one, since it'll be more than you or I could carry"

"I could manage" You say.
"You could probably carry it. It's you carrying, balancing, and navigating yourself that I have doubts about" He says. "Let's head back"

"Alright" You say.

The two of you leave the food shop... that feels like it isn't the right word... ah, whatever. You leave the food shop, and start heading back to the inn.

The streets are pretty empty, which Derrick says is weird at this time of day. Since you don't have to worry about bumping into anyone, you let your eyes wander.

The damage from the other night is still visible in a few places, though almost all of them are being worked on. Every now and then you see some weird buildings. Not made of wood or stone like everything else, instead they seem to be made of glass.

You also notice a familiar set of ears, sitting at a table outside a building....

"What are those glass buildings?" You ask Derrick.
"The glass... the greenhouses?" He asks.
"No... they weren't green" You say. "They were glass, y'know? See through"

Derrick chuckles. "Those are called greenhouses" He says.
"Oh... why?" You ask.
"Because they keep heat in, so we can grow plants more easily" He says. "It also lets us grow stuff from farther south where it's warmer"
"We should bring Emi there, then" You say.
Derrick bursts out laughing. "That's actually a good idea!" He says. "I'll have to run that by her"

The familiar set of tall ears perk up, and the girl they belong to turns around. "Oh? I thought I heard someone" Stella says. She's dressed differently than she was at the guild. Her shirt is white, with no sleeves and buttons running up the center to a little bowtie at her neck.

"Hello" You say.
Stella smiles. "Hey cutie" She says. "Out for a stroll?"
You hold up the bag in your hand. "Food" You say.

"Ah" She says. "What brings you guys back to Sherton? I thought you'd left"
"We're going to Bell's Run" Derrick says. "Contique was a bit of a side trip"

Stella giggles. "That's a little far for a side trip" She says.
"It wasn't so bad" You say.
"Bella tells me that you had a run in with some knights, you trouble-maker you" Stella says.
You shrug, and Derrick chuckles. "It was a bit more than a few..." He says.

"It's quiet out here" You say.
"Everyone's hard at work" She says. "This is more of an off hours sort of district"
"So why are you here?" You ask.
Stella leans back and stretches her arms out. "I am enjoying my day off" She says. "You're welcome to join me"

You look to Derrick. Neither of you are carrying much, so he'd probably be fine bringing everything back himself...

"I'm good to bring all this back if you wanna stick around" Derrick says.
"Okay, then sure" You say.

You hand your bag off to Derrick. "See you later then?" He asks.
"Yeah" You say.

As Derrick heads off, you turn back to Stella. She smiles at you and motions for you to sit across from her.

"Sooo? How've you been?" Stella asks once you sit down.
You shrug. "Normal" You say.

Stella giggles. "You and I define 'normal' differently" She says. "Bella tells me you're thinking of becoming a hunter"
"I was talking to Lance about it" You say. "It sounds fun"
"Fun is another word we define differently" She says. "But that's true for a lot of people"

Before you can reply, a short man comes up to the table, puts a steaming cup and a bowl full of green leaves in front of Stella, then turns to you.

"Will the gentleman be having anything?" He asks.
Stella giggles. "Gentleman" She says, as she waves the short guy to her. She takes a folded page from him and looks it over. "He'll haaaaaave... this"
"Very good. I shall be back shortly" The man says, as he takes the page back and walks away.

Stella then turns back to you and smiles.

"What am I having?" You ask.
"It'll be good, don't you worry" She says.
"I can't pay. Derrick has all of our coins" You say.

Stella's ears droop. "I wouldn't invite you to join me, order something for you, and then make you pay" She says. "That'd be mean"
"Oh" You say. "So what do you find fun?"

Stella's ears perk back up, and she picks up a leaf to chew on. "Lots of stuff" She says. "Maybe I can show you later"
"Alright" You say.
"It's nothing bad, don't worry" She says.
"Which one did you enjoy most?" You ask.

She munches on her leaf as she thinks. "If I had to pick..." She says. "The most fun I ever had was at the last family reunion"
"What's that?" You ask.
"It's where my entire family got together for one night" She says, as she reaches down into a back beside her chair and pulls out a folded piece of paper. "We even had a print done of all of us. Look"

She hands you the page, and you unfold it. It looks a lot like the picture you found in Kieve's house, but with a lot more people.

And a lot more bunny ears. You think the only people in here that don't have bunny ears are the few guys.

"My family is a bit big, I know" She says.
"Are all of you rabbits?" You ask.

She smiles and nods. "Mmhmm! We've been working for the hunter's guild for generations" She says, as she reaches across the table to tilt the picture her way. "That one is me, you can tell because my ears are just a liiiittle bit longer than the others, and that one is Bella, and this one here is Hella; who you'll meet if you stop off in Bell's Run, and this one here is Kella, and Della, and Avella..."

Stella a cute.

>>46601074
Hunters seem to have a thing for rabbits.

Stella spends a few minutes telling you about her family, all the while munching down the leaves in the bowl in front of her.

When you asked, she informed you that those leaves are called 'lettuce'. An apparently very tasty lettuce that she helps grow in the greenhouses when she's off work.

Gardening is one of the things she likes to do in her spare time. Nature magic runs strong in her family, and she says that she has a 'green thumb'... even though her thumbs are both the same colour as the rest of her. But you decide not to question that.

After a few minutes, the short man (a 'waiter') comes back with a plate full of 'pasta'. It doesn't look like anything you've eaten before, but then you haven't really eaten all that much. Stella assures you that it's good, so you take a bite.

"It is" You say.
She smiles. "This place has the best pasta in Sherton" She says.
"If it's the best, why aren't you having it?" You ask.
"I had a big lunch, since I was working at the greenhouses most of the day. So I wanted something lighter" She says. "You, on the other hand, looked famished"
"Famished?" You ask.
"Really hungry" She says.
"Oh" You say. "I was. I think the last thing I ate was some berries this morning..."

"Wow" She says.
"They weren't bad" You say.
"I didn't say they were... it's just not much" She says. "Did you have to do anything on those?"
"On them?" You ask.
"After eating them?" She asks.

You shrug. "Nothing much. There were some Reptars that I had to fight off... and we hauled those Hanniballisty bolts into the guild" You say.
Stella frowns. "You mean Raptors and Hand ballista bolts?" She asks.
"Yes" You say.

"Why were you fighting off raptors?" She asks.
"There were guys on them" You say. "They weren't very nice. One of them tried to shoot me"
Stella gasps.
"He missed" You say.

Stella sighs and smiles. "Well, you can eat up now" She says. "Hopefully we won't have any more raptor troubles"
"I hope so" You say.

You put another forkful of pasta in your mouth, as Stella munches on another leaf. This stuff is very good. Too bad it doesn't look like the kind of thing you can bring with you on the road...

After a minute of silent eating, Stella's head perks up. "How did you manage to fight off a bunch of raptors? Did you use that spear?"
"No. The spear doesn't like me" You say, as you pull the mageblade out of your pocket. "I used this thing"
"A mageblade?" She asks.

"Yep" You say. "I just made it really long and swung it at them"
"Impressive. How long have you been using this for?" She asks.
"Uhh... a few days?" You ask.
"Then it must be your weapon" She says.
"It is" You say.

Stella smiles, and pulls another piece of paper out of her bag, along with a pen. Then she scribbles something down on the page. "If you plan on using that, then there's a show in Bell's Run right now that you must see" She says as she slides the paper to you.

>cont.

>>46602024
ask what her weapon is

You pick it up and read it. "Dance... of the... Monkey... Queen?" You ask. "What is it?"
"Well, they say that the mageblade is an artist's weapon" She says. "So if you want to really get to know it, you should see an artist that uses it"

"The Monkey Queen uses a mageblade?" You ask.
"She is very good" Stella says. "I went to see her with Hella last time I visited Bell's Run. In fact, if you visited Hella she could probably get you in to talk with the lady herself"

"Really?" You ask. "Neat"

Stella munches down the last of her 'salad', while you finish your pasta. Then she hands a few coins to the waiter, and stands up.

"Alright, time to go" She says.
"You're leaving?" You ask.
"You're not coming with me?"
You blink a few times. That had not occured to you for some reason...

You stand up as well. "Where are we going?" You ask.
"You'll see" She says. "It's one of my favourite places to go after a meal"
"Okay" You say.

The two of you step away from the table, and she pulls your cloak back to hook her arm over yours. "This way" She says. "I like the hat, by the way"
"Thank you" You say. "Lance gave it to me to me before we left"
Stella giggles.

I really didn't want to laugh at that, asshole.

You turn to her and smile. "I like your bowtie" You say. "I'm saying that right, right? Bowtie?"

Stella tugs on her bowtie with her free hand. "Yep, bowtie" She says. "Avella is the one who put this outfit together. She inherited my mother's fashion sense. I like to wear it on my days off, 'cause it's super cute"

"It is cute" You say.
Stella giggles and pinches your cheek. "Ahhhh~ He's learning" She says. "Keep this up and the ladies'll be throwing themselves at you in no time"
You tilt your head. "Why would they be throwing themselves..." You say.

"Okay, maybe not 'no time'... but you're improving" She says. "Just remember to let a girl know when you recognize cuteness"
"Alright" You say. "Any other tips?"

"Nothing right now" She says. "We'll get to your next lesson next time"
"Next time?" You ask.
"Of course" She says. "Next time I see you, we'll have to do this again so I can see how far you've come. Dinner's on you, of course"
"Okay" You say.
Stella smiles. "It's a date then" She says.

The two of you walk to another place, and Stella tells you to wait outside while she goes in to get something.

So you walk over to a nearby tree that you can lean on, and look around. The sky is starting to turn orange, even though the sun isn't quite going down yet. It still makes the clouds look nice.

The streets have become a bit more crowded too. Whatever work people were doing, they must either be done for the day, or done for good. Either way, they all seem very rela-

Hang on... was that-

No. it couldn't have been.

For a second there, you thought you saw Emi, Ilica and Derrick... only Ilica was wearing big glasses and had a moustache, Emi had a big poofy hairdo, and Derrick was wearing a funny hat...

You shrug. It must've been your imagination.

"Alright, close your eyes, open your mouth, and stick out your tongue" Stella says. You turn to see her approaching with her hands behind her back. You figure she has something in mind, so you do as she says...

Something cold touches your tongue, and you recoil from it.

"What was that?" You ask. You open your eyes to see Stella smiling at you, with some kind of... white... thing in her hand.

"It's ice cream~" She says.

You take a second to actually taste what did get on your tongue. It's pretty good. Very sweet.
"This one's yours, since you've already licked it" She says as she hands you the thing. The white stuff sits on top of some sort of cone... thing. "Careful not to eat it too fast"

You take another lick, and let what comes off melt on your tongue. "I like it" You say.
Stella smiles. "That's vanilla. Next time we come here, you can try a different one"
"There are others?" You ask.
"Mmhmm!" She says, holding up her ice cream thing. "Mine's chocolate"
"Neat" You say.

Stella hooks her arm back over yours, and starts leading you forward again. "That's tip number 2 about girls, Yuu. We looooooove chocolate" She says.
"Is it that good?" You ask.
Stella gasps. "You've never had chocolate before?" She asks.
"Nope" You say.
"Hmm... that's no good" She says.

"Can I try yours?" You ask.

Stella's ears perk up, and she blushes. Then she looks around for a second, and turns back to you. "Same as before. Mouth open, eyes closed, tongue out~" She says.

You do as she says, and after a second you feel another cold thing on your tongue. Then you open your eyes, and see Stella's finger coming away with a little bit of ice cream still on it.

"You weren't supposed to open your eyes yet!" She says, as her ears point downward and she puffs out her cheeks. It's actually pretty cute... and she did say to speak up when you recognize cuteness...

"You're cute when you're like this" You say.
In response, she puffs out her cheeks more, and her short hair stands up a little.

For some reason, you can't help but laugh. You aren't even really sure what's funny. Then you take a bite of your ice cream, but haflway through chewing it you start to feel a dull pain in your head.

"Ah!" You say.

Now it's Stella's turn to laugh. "I told you not to eat it so fast, silly" She says, as her arm unhooks from yours to run your back. "Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine" You say. You stop walking, and try to wait the pain out, as it slowly goes away. But when you look behind you...

Okay, that was definitely them.
"See something?" Stella asks.
"My friends are back there" You say.
"Where? I don't see them" Stella says.
"They hid when I looked back" You say.
"Did they now?" She asks.
"Yeah. And I noticed them when you were inside getting ice cream too" You say.

"Oh?" Stella says, as she rubs her hands together, grinning and laughing menacingly.
"What's up?" You ask.
"Nothing~" She says, flipping back to her usual self. "Come on! We're gonna go do something fun!"
