[Empiricist]

Noriko
"S-sorry! You just seemed kinda upset earlier and a lot's been happening lately, especially with the Aramitama and everything..."

[Chevaleresse]

Was she that obvious? "No, it's just. . . I guess I'm still a little shaken up over that fight. It was bad." She took her chance to deflect to something that wasn't an obvious excuse. "I mean, I know everyone's fine now, but some of us could have died."

[Empiricist]

Noriko
"You could've." A nod. "You could've. Even before now. Accidents, happen. Car crashes, fires, life is fragile. More fragile than we really care to admit. But we're still alive now right? We're still standing right? We're still here. Same thing for this line of work, just the hazards are different, have different names. Someone could've died, someone could've died but no one did. Someone could die, but they won't. Smile. Hold your head up high. You've already saved two people this life. You're a hero. And heroes don't die that easily." An awkward pause. "I swear that sounded better in my head!"

[Twinwolf]

Since it didn't seem Freida meant to answer, Yuki did. "Oh, she's just coming as a guest. She was people-watching or something, I think, and I said she could go and do that here and be comfortable. I'll be right back, can you take her to a seat? Do you think she could use my employee discount...?"
"Nah, she can't. Employee discount." Kizuna said. "Can give her preferred service though, since she's a friend 'n all. Or you could just serve her yourself, your shift's comin' up anyways."
"...Huh, completely slipped my mind. I should call Noriko, she probably forgot too with all the magical monster slaying. Be right back, Freida!" Yuki says, before bolting towards the back to meet with the owner.
"...Well, she's a handful sometimes. Wanna be by the window, or just in the aisle?"

[Chevaleresse]

"I appreciate the thought, Enn." Kouta, on the other hand, seemed distinctly uncomfortable with the talk of death and how hazardous everyday life actually was, looking between Enn and Noriko nervously. "I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it. Or, I guess, getting over the fact that demon gods are going to be actively trying to murder me and the other way around."

[Empiricist]

Yuki
"Ja, that I can tell. I take it she's always like this? Seating I do not mind, whatever is most convenient."

Noriko
"Right ah, I better leave you guys to it then.
Oh and Kouta, don't worry, Noriko's a natural at this."

[Twinwolf]

"Ever since I known her, yeah." the maid says, and leads Freida to a seat in the corner of the cafe. Kizuna clears her throat, and gets back "in-character". "Well then, mistress, would you like something to drink? I'll serve you until Yuki-chan comes back!"

--

Noriko would feel her phone buzz. When she got around to looking, it was a text from Yuki. Boss asked if u r coming for your shift. read the hastily-written text.

[Chevaleresse]

Noriko bit back a curse when her phone buzzed. She'd forgotten entirely about the shift.

Will be there soon. Forgot because of today.

"Sorry, Kouta, I'll play with you tonight. I'll ask the boss if I can step back my hours some, okay?" The boy made a disappointed face, alleviated somewhat by the hug Noriko pulled him into. "I know. But it's getting better now, promise."

With that, she headed off and out of the building after gathering up her uniform. One she was outside, she pondered for a moment. If normal people would think up some mundane explanation. . . She leapt up to the rooftops, being careful not to catch any of her various frills on anything, and started to run at top speed toward the cafe, as she was rather lacking in a ride at the moment.

[Empiricist]

Yuki
Freida suppresses a chuckle "I'll have tea, chrysanthemum if you have it, earl grey otherwise. Oh and a cake, I've heard the cakes here are good."

Noriko
The trip is an uneventful one, you do draw some gazes but as expected people are surprisingly indifferent to a flying girl. Well not too surprising perhaps, all your life you been told the things you've seen aren't real, and for now, you're one of those things.

Kouta
Another flicker, Winter appears next to Kouta, her smile apologetic, which is to say ill-suited to its wearer.
"I could play with you if you wish."

[Strider03]

Shef exited the building aimlessly. He still had a few hours before his meet-up with Rosario. He supposed that he would go and grab a quick dinner, and make a few requests of the AIs. And after that? Shef didn't know. Perhaps he'd just head over to the bar a bit early, keep things subtle? He passed through the streets, eventually coming to a stop in front of a building. Once he arrived at his room on the third floor, he set out to prepare a quick dinner, nothing too fancy, and began to write things down on a small list.

[Twinwolf]

Kizuna nods. "Right away!" and heads off to place the order.

A few minutes later, Yuki comes to the table with a tray. "Sorry for taking a while, my spare was sorta buried in the back. Anyway, chrysanthemum tea, and one of our specialty cakes! I hope you enjoy!"

[Empiricist]

Yuki
"Thank you, I will." She takes a sip of the tea, apparently not minding the temperature.

[Powder Miner]

Noriko wasn't the only one heading to the café at that moment -- Faith, having been left with some time after her heartening conversation with Minato, had nervously waffled for a while on what to do before she eventually decided that she could head on down to the café and talk to her sister. Faith realized that everything was happening in a whirlwind today, but she was absolutely giddy on that high of knowing that there was actually someone in the world who liked her enough to ask her out! So she figured Yuki would probably likemto hear too.

...she was walking normally, however, not traveling by parkour.

[spümpkin]

Yoake chuckles. "Yeah, we sure did. Now, are there any other questions? Maybe more related to Keijo?"

[Empiricist]

Yoake
"How do you recommend dealing against someone with a knife?"
