Part 58: 6/28/09

6/28/09

Fuuka called me up this morning, we decided to go out somewhere for a while.



It’s okay.
Um, I was wondering if you’d like to go out someplace with me today…
Great! Then, I’ll be waiting outside the dorm.
> Fuuka seems excited…

We got some lunch after messing around at the strip mall for a while.



Not only is it relatively cheap, but the balance of the ingredients is well thought out, too.
> Fuuka seems to be enjoying her day off…
And they seem to really think about the health of their customers, too.
This “Iron-Plentiful Meal” is really good for women.
> Fuuka is gazing at the menu curiously…
…Well here is a surprise question for you!
What happens if your body doesn’t get enough iron?
You become anemic.
Bingo, that’s correct.
I get anemic all the time, so I try hard to get enough iron in my diet.
You should be careful too, Aelita-chan.
> Fuuka seems to be worried about you…
> Your friendship is a lot stronger now.

I still had some stuff left over from cooking club, so we shared it after lunch.



……
Mmhm, it’s delicious. I hope I can make something this good someday…
…Thanks. I’ll keep trying my best too.
> Fuuka seems to really like your present.
> It’s getting late…
> You decide to go back to the dorm.

The Lost are increasing in numbers even faster than they did last time, it’s kind of scary.



Narrator: Episode 19: Believe in Yourself! There’s nothing you can’t do! Feather Swan!
Newscaster: …And now, the news.
The number of Apathy Syndrome victims is increasing every day, all over the city…

Upstairs the others were talking about Tartarus.



If this was an adventure novel, there’d probably be some kind of treasure…
I know! There’s a giant piñata! And when you break it…
…candy pours out, and a huge banner appears, saying, “Congratulations! You’ve beaten Tartarus!”
That MUST be it, Stupei.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a control panel we could smash and destroy the whole place?

It’d help to know what Tartarus even was, probably.



…There is no top to Tartarus!
Whoa, he’s finally snapped… I guess his brain has reached its expiration date.
Actually, that’s an interesting idea…
But, wouldn’t that create a big problem for us?
Uh, y-yeah, I guess so…
Um, maye I was wrong.

Mitsuru and Akihiko are out somewhere, so no Tartarus tonight.



I went down to the police office, the people we’d saved were okay fortunately.



I couldn’t make out the full picture from questioning him, but you’re the ones who saved him, right?
The police can’t accept this, so this is yours. It’s a hefty sum for you kids.
> Obtained 40000 yen.
There’s still more…
They found that missing girl the other day. I tried questioning her, but…
Her answers didn’t make any sense. She said some kids saved her from an attack by a black thing…
She left a reward with us, so I’ll hand it over to you.
> Obtained Shirt of Chivalry x 1.

Not much else going on at night since Mutatsu left. Kind of bored…
