[Yui was sitting at a table outside under a pavilion in front of the donut cafe. She was engrossed in the book she had laying open in front of her. Looked like there were instructions on the pages to make something]

Hmm, I think I can buy all of this in one day. [She smiles faintly] Hehe, they'll love her.

Comments

[vesselless]

[Ignore the face pressed against the window beside her.]

[thederpyhalf]

[Ignore the--...W-Whoa, when did Merry get there?]

Oh, Merry-san! [Her attention was averted to Merry and what she was smushing her face to the window for.] It's impolite to watch people while they're eating, Merry...

[vesselless]

You're gonna share with me, right?

[thederpyhalf]

Eh? [She blinks, looking from her to the shop...Merry did like donuts doesn't she? ]

Mm...I was going to buy some myself, wasn't I? [She completely forgot she went here wanting some donuts while she was reading her book. She bookmarks the page she was on, closes the book ("Sewing for beginners!") and then stands.]

Come inside with me, you can point out the ones you want.

[vesselless]

[Success!]

Then I want the ones with the icing on them! They have the little sprinkly things that taste so, soooo good! Oh! The nobbly ones, and the ones with the squishy stuff inside, and the ones with the chocolate! I want those too!

[thederpyhalf]

Okay. Then you take half a dozen and I'll have the other half. I'm not sure how many Fujiwara-san buys, but six donuts should be okay.

[As she glances at the donuts on display and prepares to order, a thought crossed her mind.]

Uh, where is Fujiwara-san anyway, Merry? [Kind of strange to see her without Yumeji around.]

1/2

[vesselless]

[Wait, where is he anyway?]

2/2

[vesselless]

[He's not here, is he? He told her he'd never give up, he wouldn't quit until he sent her. What was she supposed to do without him? They had a contract, she could never find her way home by herself!]

I... I don't know.

[thederpyhalf]

Oh...[Did he get lost like Engi too...? She probably shouldn't get Merry too worried.]

Maybe something came up and he couldn't ignore it. I'm sure you'll see him later.

[Annd before Merry starts worrying too much on that, Yui offers her one of the donuts with icing on it]

[vesselless]

He is kind of useless, he won't be able to cope without me~

[thederpyhalf]

It would be the same way around wouldn't it?

[Here you go, half a dozen donuts neatly placed in a box]

He needs you just as much as you need him.

[vesselless]

[Donuts *_* she practically starts to drool as she opens the box. What were we talking about again?]

[thederpyhalf]

[Yui simply smiles.]

Don't eat them too quickly. You'll get a tummy ache.

[vesselless]

I'm not a little kid you know, and I'm not human like you either! I can eat as many donuts as I want.

[thederpyhalf]

Oh...I suppose you have a point.

[Let me study you]

I can't buy that many donuts at once sadly. So enjoy every bite, cause it'll be sad when they're all gone.

[vesselless]

Why can't you buy lots and lots of donuts at once? Is it because humans get fat when you eat them?
