2nd Course - Chocolate Kisses

[starofpleiades]

[Video]

[The vine turns on to the image of Kazumi in a room you might not recognize if you don't know what the inside of Akira Satou's apartment looks like. Even if you do, you might not recognize it: everything's been cleaned up and organized and it looks like there's at least 3 things cooking in the kitchen right now]

It's definitely a lot more fun cooking for more people. It's hard cooking just one serving, so you end up eating the same thing for a while if you're by yourself. Cooking for other people means you get to cook new things more often! Though...

[The girl looks over at the stove, ahoge twitching before she turns back to the vine]

...I think I might have made too much! So, um, Akira, if there's anyone you want to bring over for dinner, well... tonight would be a good night? I got all my things moved in [It was mostly food and cooking stuff. Your fridge has never been so stocked] and wanted to make something nice to celebrate but I kind of went overboard, eheh... I just really wanted to thank you for this! And for the kiss, hehe.

[She giggles and blushes a little, then remembers the vine's still showing and turns her attention back to it, all happy, innocent smiles again]

Anyway! Who else out there likes cooking? The party made me think, there's probably people here who are from different places with aaaaall sorts of different cooking! We should exchange recipes!

But you've been here... how long has it been? At least you should get to know them first!

[starofpleiades]

It's been a few weeks! Though I did kind of only meet her just before the party... but I mean! That's what I'm doing now! Getting to know her, that is.

[tookupthesword]

By living with her.

[starofpleiades]

W-well! I'm not really used to living alone... and Akira wanted someone to cook for her, so, well... I-it's not like living together in that sort of sense!

[tookupthesword]

... Huh?

[starofpleiades]

I don't know! You made everything confusing!

[tookupthesword]

You're the one with the crush!

[starofpleiades]

It was easier when I wasn't thinking about it...

[tookupthesword]

It's always easier when you don't think, or don't know a thing, huh?

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, yeah, I guess so... [oh hey it sounds like... Sayaka's talking about something else other than this exact situation... being magical girls, or something else?]

[tookupthesword]

[EVERYTHING, everything is what she's talking about.]

Anyway, hold old is this person?

[starofpleiades]

Um, I haven't really asked but she looks maybe twenty... [WHOOPS also part of why Kazumi is not pursuing this so much and letting it idle at "crush"]

[tookupthesword]

... What about you?

[starofpleiades]

Well, uh... about fourteen, I think? [HER MEMORIES ARE STILL A LITTLE FUZZY ON THAT POINT]

[tookupthesword]

... Are all magical girls around the same age or what?

[starofpleiades]

Now that you mention it... all the ones I've met really are, aren't they?

[tookupthesword]

So all of your saints are around the same age as you? What the hell is up with this?

[starofpleiades]

Well... I mean, when you think Mahou Shoujo, you think around this kind of age, don't you? In anime and stuff... Ah, though I guess some are younger, huh?

[tookupthesword]

Yeah, now that I think about it, I've never heard of any twenty year old magical girls, thirty year old magical girls or even some kind of magical girl spinster.

[starofpleiades]

They wouldn't really be "girls" at that point would they? They'd be "women"... or "grannies"...

[tookupthesword]

Yeah, and slapping 'magical' onto those doesn't sound right... would need to be called something else, right?

[This is like the idiots guide to figuring out plot points]

[starofpleiades]

Maybe "wizardly"... or- ["Witch"... she just barely stopped herself from saying that. Right, because of that...]

I guess it doesn't really happen because... they don't make it that far.

[Did Sayaka know? Should she tell her? It was... such a hard thing to know, but was ignorance better?]

[tookupthesword]

[ALLOW THE BLUE IDIOT TO DO IT]

Well, wizard is more of a guy thing, right? Maybe wi...... tch......

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi flinches a bit.]

Do... you know? About the fate of magical girls?

[tookupthesword]

... Guess you do too. I didn't want to bring the subject up since you didn't mention anything about Soul Gems, besides the fact you have one.

[And Sayaka just has a resigned, not even scared at all reaction.]
