The ambrosial scent of a variety of food wafted by his nose, causing the freckled pirate to perk up, head turning towards the direction of the source. Spotting a petite female passing by him, a couple of food protruding from her mouth, a chuckle parted his lips. Removing himself from the bench he was previously situated on, jogging slightly to match her pace, he was getting close.
Strutting alongside the female with a regal appearance, amusement danced in his eyes at the sight of someone like her with food stuffed in her mouth. It seemed she was having quite some trouble with her food. When a situation involved food, he was more than happy to help. Also, the fact that he was hungry, as always, helped as well. "Hey, let me help you out with that." Ace abruptly chided as he teasingly snatched a piece of food from her; tossing it in his mouth as he broke out into a grin. Savoring the taste, chewing the food slowly before passing it down, he blinked before glancing at her, astonished. "Oh, that’s actually pretty good. Where’d you get this at?"
The previous princess just so happened to walk out of a small Japanese food shop at a corner in the city. Here’s to say that the shop had quite a sale on everything they owned, due to them having to close down for an unknown reason. And with the way Kougyoku was, one could guess that she bought nearly half of their shop, having been attracted to the food’s cuteness. Which was exactly what she did. A silly reason to buy food, one would think. But it was something that she just couldn’t help, and now she was walking with multiple plastic bags, all mainly filled with bento boxes that contained onigiri with cute faces on them. It was only a while after she walked into the park when she came to realization that buying this many had been a mistake. She already had tons of food stored in her dorm room, and it came to mind that all of this food could go to waste.
Even if she wasn’t hungry at the moment, she thought that maybe she should start eating some now, so that it wouldn’t be a waste later. While walking through the park, she made it so that she was able to eat and hold the heavy bags of food at the same time. Bags hanging at her elbows, one bento box in one hand, and one onigiri in the other. She began stuffing her face with as much food as she can, while looking for a bench to sit at—but it appeared that all of them were occupied. It was then when she noticed that a tall man had walked up next to her, and she jumped when he took one of the remaining onigiri that was at hand.
"E-Ehhh?" She turned to stare at the freckled-man before her, much thoughts of confusion filling her head. Is that what people would do in this town…? Would that be how you made friends here? To be overly-friendly with others such as sharing food the first time you meet? She blinked for what seemed like a thousand times, before finally calming down and setting down her shoulders. If this was an opportunity to make a friend, then she would be damned to let it pass. Gulping her food down, she started to speak with a quiet voice. "Ah….I’ve purchased these at the Japanese food shop not too far away from here," she let out a nervous chuckle; making friends was not her specialty.
Holding the bento box up to him, she gave a small smile with cheeks tinted with pink. “Would you like another? I’ve got plenty more of them in these plastic bags!”
