“It’s been awhile, Nyuh.” Neco-Arc pondered aloud as she gently buffed a freshly cleaned bar glass to a pristine shine. She lost herself in her own reflection, as her thoughts drifted to the recent past.
…Nyuh, I wonder how big bro is doing? I feel like he’s not around here anymore, but I hope he’s well, and I hope he knows that he’ll always be welcome here, even if only for a quick visit…
…Nyoh! I need to invite Red Saber-san back to the cafe sometime soon! She’s always so fun to be around, and she really livens up the place. I Knyow! We should have a live entertainment open microphone night, with Red Saber-san as the star! Nyush, nyush. Great idea. Great idea…
…Nyum… Mapo-Priest. My ex-coworker? Nyush. My embittered nemesis? Who knyows! My friend? Nyope. I miss Mapo-Priest…
…Nyoh. Nyoh no… Flat Escardos. There’s a reality out there with a version of that poor kid that’s still stuck as a NECO. I knew I’ve been forgetting something for the past several… well, I’m sure it hasn’t been that long. And besides, how is it a bad thing for him to be a NECO? Anyway, the old man in the Clock Tower taught me how to attenuate my magic to fix him, so I should still try to find him and see if he wants to pick up where we left off…
…I wonder how that Rin-san has been lately? I’m so relieved that I made it to her in time. Those notebooks are nasty things, regardless of how ‘tasty’ he thinks they are. Speaking of tasty, Rin-san had such a lovely selection of tea blends at her home. I’ll have to ask her sometime if she has any recommendations for the cafe…
…Nyoh my! That couple that we had to ask to leave. It makes me happy to see two people so in love, but that was a health code violation. You can’t just climb on the bar-top and-
“For how much longer do you intend to polish that same glass, Cafe-Master?”
“Nyoh!” The little cat-person yelped as her attention was snatched back to the reality around her. “Sorry sorry! I was just thinking of our last carnival, and what fun it was! So many new faces! And thrilling experiences too!”
“Ohoh? Ah. That special Holy Grail War. Where no one died… when they were killed.” Neco-Chaos began as he drew deep on his cigar. “It is still going, with no end in sight, is it not? With conditions like that, how does one hope to ever… attain the Grail?”
Ah, the MHGW, a special Holy Grail War. A reality that allows the many epic spirits from the infinite realities to meet and experience unique situations of combat, friendship, love, rivalry, camaraderie, and so much more. Bubbles thought to herself as she listened along.
“I don’t knyow, but for now, I don’t think that’s the point of it. It’s one of those, ‘It’s more about the journey than the destination,’ situations.” Neco-Arc stated matter-of-factually.
“Nyuhyuhyuh!” Bubbles chimed in enthusiastically.
“Oh! All this reminiscing! So romantic!” Neco-Destiny began. “We met so many who had found love with one another! Ooh, if everyone would stop fighting to the death, we could have turned it into a magnificent matchmaking experience! Why, even a dating website service! No! A prime-time reality television-
“Bububu-but… UuuUUGghhHWWWAAAAAAA-HAAANNnngggHHWWwaaa”
The sounds of Destiny’s sobs were overpowered by a loud slam as the Necos turned their attention to the front door. There stood Neco-Evolution, sweating profusely and horribly exhausted.
“Nyu! You guys! You guys! You won’t believe this! We have new mods! Well, uh, it’s the original mods. Uhm… OH! But they’ve swapped seats! Something about him having more, uh, free time on his hands. Uh, there was also something about needing ‘inspiration’ and ‘creativity.’ Uh, at any rate, uh, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!?”
Hello everyone! Neco-mod here. As Evolution said for me, I’m the original Neco-mod’s co-mod/husband. Original Neco-mod/wife is here too! I’m just in the driver’s seat now, so-to-speak. I’ve missed this, and I wanted to give it a go again. Our writing styles are very similar, as are our takes on the Necos, so I hope they feel the same and are still familiar to everyone who has followed our writing. I would still like to stay independent, but all of our friends from the mhgw, as well as the mhgw newcomers since our departure, are more than welcome here too! I don’t know how often or how much I’ll be active, but I will be when I can. That’s why I’d like to remain indie, so I can enjoy writing casually and not feel like this is a task. Thanks for reading everyone!
