Card Story : Polar Star (Oscar)
Shin : It's over~!! Today's work is done! Good job, me!
Oscar : Great, everything's all done.
Shin : Air~! You did a great job, too! We're so good at this!
Shin : If Sirius hadn't asked me to do this, there's no way I'd be doing any serious work. I can't believe it myself.
Ah~ I'm tired! Hey Air, let's buy something on our way home.
I've been so busy I haven't been able to show you around properly, and I think you should get used to live here.
Oscar : ...You're right. Please show me the way.
Shin : —You can find pretty much anything you want around here.
Oscar : Oh, so this is the main street of Lost Garden.
Shin : Well, Lost Garden is ridiculously large, so I'm sure there are more prosperous places more than here somewhere.
I don't really want to go there because it's territory of troublesome people and I might get into trouble. I'm not interested.
Oscar : Certainly, there are all sorts of things available here. Is there no need going all the way to surface?
Shin : There are no well-known shops here, so in that case we'll go above ground. Like going to Sirius' favorite ice cream shop.
Hmm? There's a cute mouse. Is this a pet shop?
Shin : Oh no, no. They're rats for food.
Oscar : Eh.. but there are also dogs, cats and rabbits in the back?
Shin : Everything's edible here. You probably won't find any shop like this on the ground.
Looking closely, there are not only animals but also a lot of insects here... Will would probably faint if he saw this.
Shin : Don't worry. I'm grossed out by these things either, I ain't recommending them.
Oscar : T-That's a relief..
Oscar : A hot dog shop, a chocolatier...and a sushi restaurant?
Shin : Fufu♪ That's a good reaction, Air. I'm used to this place but it makes me feel like I'm on a trip, too.
Oscar : Everytime I discover something it reminds me of someone.
I wonder if everyone is doing well...
Shin : Oh, can we stop by that shop? I wanna buy a caramel macchiato before we head home.
When I don't feel like going to the surface, I buy it here. The taste is so-so, but you should try it.
Oscar : Oh, then I'll have a black coffee.
Shin : Black coffee? Since when you became such a drinker?
Shit, I forget I only started drink coffee after I met Brad-sama—
O-Of course I don't remember, but I think I got to drink coffee at some point.
Oscar : I tried to be careful not to dig my own grave, but it's not that easy..
Staff : There are also wide variety of beans to choose from!
Oscar : T-There are a lot of them...
Hey, Shin. How do you read this?
Shin : Oh, that's "Lost Garden Blend".
Oscar : Hmm... then I'll have this one.
Shin : .....You still can't read, huh?
Shin : Yup, that's the Air I know.
Staff : Sorry for making you wait. Here's your Caramel Macchiato—Ah!
Shin : .....Ugh, this sucks.
Staff : I-I'm so sorry! I'll bring something to wipe it off right away!
Shin : Whose clothes do you think you just soiled? Do you think you'll be forgiven just by wiping it off and apologize?
Shin : Let me go, Air! I won't be satisfied until I kill him!
Oscar : Don't do it, Shin! ......Then I have no choice.
Shin : —Damn it! Why did you get in my way, you idiot Air?!
Look at my clothes, they're so dirty. I won't be able to wear them again!
Oscar : I know you're dissapointed, but you can buy new clothes.
Shin : So it's not a good idea to kill him? What the hell is that? Heroic justice?
Oscar : Not so. And I'm sure I would have done the same back in the day.
That might be true. You always told me not to do this or that.
...You've always been a good kid.
Shin : Even so, that was an amazing power you have. You lifted me up with ease and ran home at lightning speed.
The speed most likely came from your substance, but you must have worked out a lot.
Oscar : ....I think I've been strong since long time ago, though?
Shin : No, you were more adorable back then.
Shin : I'd better get to bed now, I've got a lot to do tomorrow.
Oscar : Yes... and Shin, is there any thicker futon available?
Shin : What's wrong? Is it because of the cold?
Shin : Pfft! You've grown so big, but you're still weak to cold like you used to be!
Are those thick muscles just for decoration? Hyahahahaha!
Shin : Ahahaha, my stomach hurts!! Don't make me laugh when I'm about to go to sleep, it'll make me stay awake.
And I want to ask one more question... do they sell cheeseburgers here?
Oscar : It's been a long time since I've had one of them, with you.
Shin : Yes, yes! Of course there is!
Oscar : Then, let's buy cheeseburger on our way back tomorrow.
Shin : That can't be helped then! I try not to eat junk food as much as possible, but okay. If Air says so, then I'll eat with you.
Oscar : Yeah, let's do that.
Shin : I'll get the futon, you wait here.
Oscar : Thank you, Shin...
