{{🍖}} “Dragon Amist the Storm, huh …”

A quiet pause as she took in the poem she had found on the ground, giving it a quiet read through.

“It … it’s good. But I don’t get it.” She murmured, holding the paper closer, as if that would help divine the meaning.

[weatherbornkiss]

          “ Ahhhh! “

   In came the goddess, swiping the paper from her. Her face was ever an

   elegant shade of red.

          “ D-D-Don’t look at that! “

{{🍖}} “W-Whoa! Marie?!”

A surprised gasp from Chie as the paper was ripped from her hands, leaving her blinking in surprise. It was rare to see Marie so emotional, especially over a harmless piece of paper. Ohhhhhhh, was this-

“Marie . . . did you write that poem?”

{{🍖}} “So, should I choose this one? Or this one?”

Blue or green. Those are the options of skirts presented to Naoto by Chie. And both of them are slightly shorter than the norm. But only slightly.

[fortunadetectiva-blog]

          “ Hmm. Why not try for blue. “

   Perhaps some tights with them… Maybe a vest. She wasn’t the best

   at fashion, but she was trying.

[chariotkick-blog]

{{🍖}} “Perfect. Alright, go on, then!”

The skirt is shoved into Naoto’s hand by a grinning Chie, along with the vest she’d picked off of a rack, and a pair of boots to match.

“Changing room’s over on the right. Oh, and take off the binder, at least while you’re trying it on. It won’t complement the outfit right, otherwise!”

{{🍖}} “U-Uh, Y-Y-Yu-kun. Th-There’s a . . . there’s a, um . . .”

There’s a moth. A gigantic, green and yellow moth sitting on Yu’s shoulder. Just looking at it is making Chie as pale as can be. She raises her fists, ready to punch the ever-living guts out of it before it can crawl further up him, or worse, fly onto her.

“H-Hold, very, very still, okay? Don’t. Move.”

{{🍖}} “Hhhkkkk!”

Oof. That was a solid slug to the stomach, so much so that the blonde doubled over in pain. Nothing crippling, but damn. This girl could throw a punch. She managed a grin, reaching out and patting Makoto’s shoulder.

“N-Nice one. Did that help with the tension? I recognize somebody under pressure when I see them. Wanna do it again?”

          “ Y-Yeah, but I feel bad. Are you okay? I’m so sorry. “

   Face was painted with concern, as she looked the girl over. She

   knew Chie was only trying to help, but now she just felt guilty for

   it.

[chariotkick-blog]

{{🍖}} “You think a soft pat like that hurts? Heh, I can take a lot more than a single blow.”

Not too many more though. Makoto could be savage when she wanted to be, Chie had learned from weeks of being around her. Now wasn’t one of those times, but she still had respect for the other’s fighting prowess. Not bad for somebody who was not many would expect to be a brawler.

“I’d suggest a fully sparring match, your fists against my martial arts. But something tells me that you’re not quite up to it. Maybe, um . . . is it the kind of thing a hug might help with instead? Because I can do those, too. Or, um, talking?”

Jeez, she felt kind of dumb. Comfort and reassurance wasn’t entirely her thing, Yukiko was better at this. But damnit, she was going to try.

{{🍖}} “I want you to punch me, okay? Put everything into it.”

[masquedqueen-blog]

          “ Um. If you’re sure. I mean… “

   Well. She had asked for it. A solid punch was delivered right to her

   gut. What had she imagined to allow her to hit Chie? That she was

   punching a shadow.

{{🍖}} “Wait, kittens? Okay, new plan. We get back a little early and see if we can find her and the little ones, then we enjoy the springs. Maybe we can buy a shelter for them all! Amagi Inn’s mascot cats!”

Chie pumped her fist, her grin growing all the wider. It felt almost like they were kids again, discussing what to do about another stray animal they’d found. And that in turn prompted thoughts of Muku. The big lug was probably sitting on her bed, waiting for his owner to come home.

Sorry, boy, but tonight’s gonna be girl night. I’m sure Dad’ll take care of you, though.

Her attention was diverted by the arrival of their meal, though, two large bowls of ramen, her own filled to the brim with beef. She could feel her mouth watering just looking at it, but-

She glanced over at Yukiko guiltily. Now, of all times, she was feeling self-conscious of seeming like a slob? Laaaaame.

          “ Sounds perfect! Also if you think Muku wouldn’t mind, I’m sure

            you could bring one home. “

   Chopsticks were broken and she started to dig in. Even though she

   wasn’t really trying, she still was quite dainty in the way she ate, not

   a single drop spilling. 

      She noticed out of the corner of her eye, however, that Chie hadn’t started

      in on her bowl. How unusual. 

          “ Is something wrong Chie? Normally you would have started eating 

            the moment it was put down. “

[chariotkick-blog]

{{🍖}} “N-No, everything’s fine! I’m just, uh . . . I’m trying to restrain myself. I don’t want you to think I’m a mess on legs! It’s, um, discipline training. Dojima-san says that an officer needs to show a little bit of restraint, or she’s a mess when it comes to her work.”

Cheeks flushing, Chie broke her own chopsticks apart, taking a careful bite of the food . . . then immediately going to scarf it down, the tender flavors of the meat catching her off guard.

“Mmmm! But on the other hand, It’s too good~! Screw restraint, let’s eat!”

{{🍖}} “Ex-actly. Because you’re my best girl. And I take care of my best friend, right? I’d be kinda neglecting you if I didn’t do my part.”

A chuckle before she belted off her order to the waiter, sure to specify (And in a very stern tone) That the bowl be filled with plenty of extra meat. After he left, she turned in her chair, hands on her knees as she leaned into Yukiko.

“So, talk to me. How have things been? I only know what you’ve texted at me. Any cute boys hitting on you at the inn?”

There better not be, or I’ll have to send them flying.

          “ Same old, same old. Boys are always hitting on me, but I ignore

            them. Most of it comes out of them drinking a bit too much. Other

            than that, it’s been pretty qu– Oh! You know that cat that’s been

            hanging around? She had kittens! “

{{🍖}} “I heard thattttt. Here, meal’s on me, so get as big a portion as you want. There’s no way I’m going to let you get hungry when we’re only halfway done!”

She walked the two of them over to the bar, Chie taking a moment to pull a chair out for Yukiko, taking the seat next to her and flagging down an employee to take an order.

          “ I could pay for my own meal, Chie – Oh why do I bother to argue

            this? I know you’re going to do it anyways. “

   A chuckle before she sat. She already knew what she was going to order 

   and as soon as the waiter was near, she gave her order. She hummed a

   bit, thinking about the plans she had laid out for them at the Inn. Luckily

   today was one of the more quieter days, so not as big of a deal.

{{🍖}} “Oooooo, now you’re talking my language! How about some ramen, with plenty of beef to spare! C’mon, then, princess, let’s get going!”

Now with a direction to head, Chie resumed her quick pace, though she slowed down enough so Yukiko could walk beside her. This was hanging out, after all, not a race!

          “ Alright. “

   A soft smile was cast her way, as Yukiko found herself led to the ramen

   shop. Honestly, she wasn’t sure if she had even eaten breakfast. Had

   she had time? The loud grumbling from her stomach seemed to confirm

   her suspicion.

{{🍖}} “Night? Waaaaaaitttt, have you been keeping something from me? Yukiko! You were planning a sleepover, weren’t you? At the inn, too! You can’t hide your secrets from me!”

A giggle as she paused for a moment, turning to grin at Yukiko again. If anything, this was even more reason to cram even more fun things into their schedule! 

“Alrightie, then! What do we do next then? Your pick! We’ll take turns choosing activities until the sun starts going down. Then we’ll end the day with … oh, I got it! A refreshing dip in the hot springs!”

          “ Yesss, you’ve caught me. As for something to do, maybe we

            should get something to eat! That would be fun, yes? Plus I

            imagine a meat craving is starting up about now. “

   Leave it to Chie to figure out exactly what she had been hiding. No

   secret was safe from her bestie.

{{🍖}} “Anything. This is the first alone time I’ve gotten with you in a week, with how busy you’ve been. You’ve been taking a lot of responsibility recently. I mean, good for you, but I miss us time. Girl time.”

I mean, time with you’s kinda the highlight of my day.

A rougeish grin was directed at Yukiko as she took the other’s hand, tugging her through the mall. There was so much she wanted to do today with her best friend, she might have been rushing herself.

          “ Ch-Chie! It’s not like I’m going anywhere! I’m with you for the

             whole day! Night even! Oh… Oh wait I just spoiled that 

             surprise. “

   Now a blush would appear on the raven haired beauty’s cheeks. Such

   a dunce she was! She had already planned to have Chie sleepover at

   her place.

{{🍖}} “For me? I mean, obviously. But not for you! It’s about to be busy season for the inn, right? Why not drop a little extra yen and treat yourself, then make it back easy?”

Chie picked up the comb, holding it up to Yukiko’s hair and nodding approvingly. Yeah, it matched excellently.

“Go on, get it! You’ll look great.”

          “ Alright, if you say so, Chie. “

   A smile was given her way, before she took the comb back to

   bring it up to the register, Once it was paid for, she returned

   back to her friend.

          “ So what do you want to do now, Chie? We’ve been shopping all

            morning. “

          “ Do you think it’s a bit much? “

   She considered the hair comb in front of her. It was beautifully crafted,

   but she was wondering if it was a bit too expensive despite that.
