Post #2713370 in Arc 4, a roleplay on RPG

"Eh? Don't you normally try to get into a course in order to get into a college first even if you're not decided yet?" Asagi found Menou's answer a little odd. Given that she is in the prestigious St. Gabriel's she surely has something in her to be able to get there. For a while, Asagi felt that he wasn't hearing the full story.

Menou recounted her experiences to Asagi, particularly with regards to her parents who she claimed didn't let her try most of the things she wanted to try. In a way, Asagi was able to draw parallels between him and the shy and meek Menou when it comes to their parents strictness. She asks Asagi what he wanted to do with life.

"Hmm? Well, I'm not going to say I'm 100% certain with the direction my life is taking per se. But, I'm doing fine." Asagi answered back with a smile. "I'm in Partisan Rose for fashion design while currently apprenticing for this fashion designer so she could enter some show, I guess? Having an apprentice is one of the requirements for it. I also get some projects and commissions from time to time, allowing me to earn my keep which is nice~"

Asagi gulps down a glass of water before carrying on. "For now, I'm working to earn a scholarship within school so I don't have to feel guilty for my dad who's handling some of my expenses." Asagi took a moment to give Menou a good look again.

"Hmm...just out of curiosity, would you mind telling me about your skills? Things you can do or can't do. You don't have to feel shy--think of it as career counseling."

Kirika found the fact that the girl Akeno spoke to her using a phone app a little odd. Was she mute or something? She didn't know. Having been acquainted already, Kazuya urges both girls onto the second floor, all the while whistling to himself happily.

As per Kirika's words, most of the equipment has been left there in the meantime and so has the remaining ingredients which were actually quite a lot considering rarely anyone stops by the place. Kirika sat across Akeno while Kazuya got to work on preparing some stuff.

"So...what do you ladies want?" Seemingly satisfied with himself, Kazuya turns to Akeno first, checking to see if she has anything specific in mind. "Do you have anything specific you want?"

Before the girl could answer though, Kirika immediately speaks up. "An iced latte, a dark mocha frappe and a cappuccino." Kirika practically orders for the three of them, surprising Kazuya.

"Umm...I wasn't talking to you though." Kazuya meekly informs her.

Kirika seemed taken aback for the moment though she quickly regained her composure. "I don't want you to mix up some stupid concoction again and make us sick." Kirika explained. "I'd rather you make your usual."

"I see but...did something like that happen?" Kazuya tried to recall such an incident while scratching his head.

"Middle school...3rd year...I vomited in the classroom..." Kirika digs out details to make him remember.

"Hmm...Oh, yeah--! Hey! I've improved a lot ever since you know?!" Kazuya vehemently protests against it.

"Then prove it to me. Make those three I asked and bring it here."

"Grr!!! Just you wait!" With that Kazuya walked off to the counter, muttering under his breath all the while. "And I really wanted to make the specials too..."

Kirika remained in silence while Kazuya mixed the drinks she asked him to. All the while she just stared at the motions of the man in the counter, keeping quiet even if Kazuya made a few small errors here and there. It was clear he hadn't flexed those muscles in a while. He was able to finish after around ten minutes though, serving all three to the ladies in front of him.

"Ta-da!!! Told you I still have it!" Kazuya proudly declares to the girls. Had his father been there, he was sure he would've been proud as well. Without delay, Kirika picks up the iced latte and raised the glass to her lips. "What do you think? Better than Spacebucks no?"

Kirika shot him a slight glare as she brought the glass down on the table. "It's too strong. I think you used too much coffee..."

"Hmph! Your tastes are just unusual!" Kazuya turns towards Akeno. "Because I'm sure Akeno-chan enjoyed my drinks yeah?" Kazuya asks her with a big smile. Kirika could only sigh.

"You never change..."

Seeing Kujo and Nagisa argue lifted Aziz's spirits a little. He could feel some of his energy coming back to him, knowing he was with the two. Taking a slice of the pizza, he immediately gobbled it down with almost no time to waste.

"Ah~ Now this is comfort food. Wakaba-san liked this flavor as well." Aziz then calls over their waiter to their table. "I'll have a chicken and mojo basket as well, thanks."

Aziz can finally joke around after that ordeal. "Nothing wrong with busting your diet every now and then Makinami-san! Hey, what do you say to ordering the triple chocolate smoothie and seeing who gets brain freeze first?"
