[34th Replay] Frederica Slumber Party -backdate-

[badend_replay]

[ This entry is backdated to Saturday evening.

Members of her household probably noticed Rika setting up for the party quite early in the afternoon. She bought some eggs, milk, etc. for baking and a few disgustingly sweet things --- and spicy things, for her own sanity-- to help keep Erika and her occupied. As evening comes closer, she has set aside

[She waits to catch Rika while she's alone, before Erika arrives.]

Rika?

[badend_replay]

Yes, Sen-mama? What is it?

[ keeping up her cute act, just in case Erika arrives. ]

[lotuslife]

...I don't know if that girl has your best interests at heart, so be cautious, yes?

[her voice is carefully distanced; while she cannot claim to adore Rika like America does, she feels that it is only fair to warn her of Erika's rather suspicious behavior.]

[badend_replay]

...

[ her act drops a bit at the concern, and at the mentioning of the need to be careful around Erika. She knows. Anyone associated with "Bernkastel" makes Rika's hair stand as it is. ]

I understand... However, I intend to learn what I can from this girl. As selfish of a wish as that may be. Thank you for the warning.

I will try to keep our activities from alarming Alfred and "Rabbit", at the very least.

I'm here, nano desu.

HAU! Really I can have the leftovers, nano desu?

[ trying really hard to keep herself in check. She wonders if it'd be any fun to make them spicy leftovers. ]

Yes, of course you can, nano desu. But we will have to talk about things while you eat, okay? I will have lots to talk about.

[badend_syndrome]

I understand, nano desu. It's been a long time since we've talked...we have a lot to catch up on, after all.

[badend_replay]

Yes, it has. I regret not speaking to you sooner about some of the recent matters.

Have you spoken with Keiichi lately? I should start by telling you that he's quite aware of our situation back home now.

[Erika was preparing herself as well--what should she look for? What would tip her off to connections with Bernkastel? Was this girl her Master in disguise, another pawn, or simply a one-in-a-trillion coincidence?

At any rate, she is knocking at the door.]

[badend_replay]

[ Having finished up her previous conversations, and prepared herself for her own attempts to find some truth in Erika, Rika's at the door waiting. She opens it after a second and smiles in a typical Rika-fashion. ]

Erika! You have made it! I am so glad you came!

[sue_of_truth]

[She bows.]

< Thank you. > I am grateful for your gracious welcome, Miss Furude.

[badend_replay]

I am very grateful that you came! I have been very much looking forward to this!

Would you like to come to my room? I can show you around the whole house too!
