Who knew that studying law was such a rough task?
...Well, Phoenix knew, Edgeworth knew, Yumihiko knew...It’s not like she hadn’t been warned beforehand. Hah, oh well. She was in this for the long run. It meant a lot to her to help others, and a little self-sacrifice was just her cup of tea.
It’s after a long day that she found herself at a local fast-food restaurant. It was aptly named “Burger Barn”, from the wonderful burgers they served...as well as the barn-theme of the establishment. The big sheep mascot representing the company welcomed Lucina inside, and she took a look around.
She wasn’t a stranger to this place by now; she often came back from work hungry and tired, and restaurants were a good way to feed yourself quickly. The ‘quickly’ part honestly amazed the girl: they could serve so many people so fast and efficiently!
The state of Burger Barn tonight was...peculiar. She was used to efficiency. Fast service. No, uhm, yelling.
“I’M SO SORRY PLEASE HAVE A FREE DRINK, IT’S ON THE HOME-- HOUSE?” Lucina didn’t yell this, but the voice was familiar...too familiar.
Like the good girl she is, she got in line to order her meal. Once she reached the register, she was surprised to find Yumihiko working at it! Wait, wasn’t he a prosecutor? What would a prosecutor be doing working at Burger Barn? ...well, Phoenix didn’t make too much money, right? Lucina assumed that perhaps the prosecutor’s office was the same and Yumihiko was working part-time to make some money.
As luck would have it, the one working her line was the boy himself. “I’ll take the special Jalapeno Beltex Burger with a side of fries.” No issue there, sheeple: all burgers made at Burger Barn are actually vegetarian burgers.
Yumihiko’s reaction was that of surprise, but was a short-lived one. He was very serious about this job, it seemed. He took her order without as much as an unnecessary comment or a stumble through the whole thing.
The fact that Yumihiko was working here...this made Lucina too curious, and she managed to get out of him the time he would end his shift.
It was time to wait. She munched on her fries slowly, reading the newspaper.
