Chapter Four: Milk does a body good... right?

[demondogdays]

[Earlier in the day, Kanata's drone family seemed perfectly fine with drinking the milk like nothing was wrong. Against his better judgment AND his instincts despite the warnings he was given, he decided to drink a whole bottle's worth ever since word that the Milkman was the new Chief of Police and all the posters plastered around

[Coming across Aoto in the park...]

Oh my, Kanata, Kanata, are you alright?

[demondogdays]

[Oh, hey! It's Pamela! He's going to force himself to smile at her and wag his tail weakly on seeing her.]

Oh... hey Pamela. [He's going to let out a low whine and cringe a bit.] N-Nice day to be out, isn't it?

[ghastlyinnghost]

Hmmhmm... it does seem that way, doesn't it? It feels like something's changed again, though; another sidequest?

[demondogdays]

Another sidequest... you think that has something to do with all of these milk signs? I don't know why but I thought drinking one would do something but I guess I've got the bad one.

Now I remember why Tsubaki wouldn't let me drink too much milk if it makes my stomach and everything else hurt.

[Lucius's head turned when he saw Kanata walking down the street, devoid of the energy he usually has...It's almost painful]

You look like hell and uncharacteristically drained... and for some reason I get the feeling it's no ordinary status effect...

[demondogdays]

[I'M DYING ON THE INSIDE, LUCIUS.]

Hey Lucius? What happens to your body when you drink bad milk?

[ahogauge]

[He sighs as he figured this was the most obvious outcome.]

Let me get this straight, we've been told how long not to drink the milk, but you went ahead and did it anyway? Why am I not surprised...Then again, this Milkman guy is forcing it down our throats.

You get sick for a few days, usually. Come on, let's get you to a healer. Or get you some antidotes. Don't take it as me being concerned. I'd just hate to have my rival be defeated by something that isn't me.

[and that's a lie and we all know it.]

[demondogdays]

Well the other family people didn't have problems so I thought it was safe! And you think there is a shop here that sells cure grass? I think I need like a bunch to get rid of this stomachache here.

And I didn't know there were healers here! You think they'll really help us?

[perfectvoice]

K-Kanata-san?

[Oh, look, it's Miku.]

[demondogdays]

[Oh look Miku. It's Kanata weakly bumping into you.]

Mmn? Oh. Hey Miku... how's it going?

[perfectvoice]

Ah, are you okay?

[Concern. She has it.]

[demondogdays]

Mm. Today I'm not feeling too good... I think it was the milk I had for breakfast today that might have gone bad.

[demondogdays]

[Welp! That was enough to get him all excited! Maybe a magic user like Flonne could help him out!]

Well, I'm not feeling really good today. I've drank the milk like I was told to do by the family but since then my everything hurts. Ah--

[Whoops, he lost his own balance for a moment but he summons his sword to push and hold himself off the ground.]

It feels like a poison effect and already I feel numb and cold in some places.

[demondogdays]

[He shakes his head and lets out a small whine.]

Yeah, I had to drink it. They said I'll become a zombie if I didn't right? So I had to drink it but-- [Aaaaand there goes a loud yelp and him crashing down to the ground with him clutching his stomach tightly.]

I don't have any of my curing items with me! And I can't use any magic yet-- owowowowowowowowwwwww!
