keiichi, shiori

Who: Shiori and Keiichi
What: A magical quest~!
Where: A different town
When: Tuesday after school
Why: Shiori wants fancy art supplies and Keiichi wants to make advertisements for the cooking club.

It wasn't often that Shiori got to leave Iburi, and so when the opportunity arose for her to leave Shiori would usually jump at it. Usually, she went by herself since she'd go for art supplies; with her siblings too young or too disinterested and her parents too busy, it wasn't a surprise that she'd travel by herself. But now that she had company, she felt as though she shound dress up somewhat. To actually go to another city with another person... it seemed almost wrong not to dress up for it.

And so she wore her seldomly-worn white skirt and a black tee with an American band name written in a slight graffiti font. Though this wasn't a new look for her - outside of school, it was usually what she wore (the skirt and tee, anyway) - the white hair ribbons holding her hair into pig tails were. She usually never did anything with her hair except put in a pin, and she never wore hair ribbons. She hoped that they looked alright. Raising a hand to fidget with them once again, Shiori frowned at herself in the mirror before turning and grabbing her bag. Double-checking to make sure she had money, she slipped on a pair of flats and left for Iburi South, where she would be meeting Keiichi.

This time, she made sure to leave early too - she didn't want to be late again. And especially not when she was the one who invited him this time.

"Better to send as many of us as we can," Keiichi mused. "It's dangerous in there. More of us there are, with our different abilities, the better chances we have."

He was a chef by nature...but there was something about the expedition that made him want to lead. At the bare minimum, he was willing to put aside his enmity for the good of the group -- and make no mistake, there were members of that group he didn't especially like.

Next time, he resolved, he would join the battle more. Maybe even lead, if they'd let him.

"She does at that," Keiichi agreed. "Though she's cheerful most of the time. With everyone."

That was part of who she was, really. Even with people who didn't deserve it.

"I wonder if she's..." again, Shiori trailed off. She didn't know Aoi-san well enough to wonder if Aoi-san was hiding something, and it just sounded like bitter jealousy even to her when Shiori thought that Aoi-san couldn't possibly be that cheerful all the time. Quickly, she added, "I wonder if she's hanging out with Oubai-san. She probably won't let him out of her sight for a long time, huh?"

She laughed quietly, feeling more subdued since the topic came up. The shadow world bothered her more than she had thought, apparently.

"Oh! I heard about the Cooking Club participating in Spirit Week. I'm really excited for it!"

Topic change is gooooo~

Keiichi was...looking forward to it far less. Suffice it to say that he didn't appreciate being blackmailed by that...poor excuse for a Student Council President.

Of course, he wasn't going to say that.

"It'll be...good, I suppose," Keiichi replied. "It sort of got put together at the last minute--" There was an understatement... "--but I think the Club will be okay. As long as we don't burn down the school..."

It seemed as of late that nothing at all was going right.

"Nothing will happen with you supervising," Shiori said confidently, grin faltering at the sudden lurch of the train as it finally started moving. Turning to look out the window, despite there really being nothing to see, Shiori turned back to Keiichi.

"Ah, finally!" she exclaimed. "I can't wait until we get out of Iburi! There's nothing new to see here!"

Even the countryside, which usually went by in a blur, was more exciting for Shiori than her hometown. Everything in Iburi she had seen, but the countryside and Mayagi were new.

"You're more confident than I am," was all Keiichi said, as the train began to move at long last.

Her exuberance was amusing. "It's just a lot of countryside, really. nothing to be too excited about. Some rice fields here and there. Though, I should visit them soon. One of the rice growers and I have an arrangement. I buy most of the rice I use from him."

Making a mental note to remember to do that, he rested back in his chair. There was so much going on that he had on his mind. Maeko, for one, and the girl's seeming obsession with Misaki. That was unlikely to end well.

"Really?" Shiori asked. "Is it cheaper that way or something?"

She listened to his answer, and the conversation lulled to a companionable silence. Shiori had sketched some, not adding the detail she usually did since they wouldn't be on the train for very much longer.

"Ah, finally!" Shiori cheered as the train arrived in Mayagi. As it slowed to a stop, she put her book bag in her bag and stood once the train finally did stop. Stretching her arms up into the air, she let them drop as she beamed at Keiichi. "Ready to explore~?"

Slinging his own backpack over his shoulder, and returning her smile, Keiichi rose to his feet.

"Let's," he said, letting her out into the aisle first. "I've never been here before. Do you know where the craft store is?"

He imagined the town would be similar to his own hometown, though probably a bit smaller. If so, there'd be a nice plaza in the center with all manner of shops.

	"Mmhmm!" she nodded. "It's the only place I can find though, so we should probably get a map." Exiting the aisle and then the train, Shiori craned her head up. Mayagi's station was so much more impressive than Iburi's, she had to admit. Bigger and everything. But everything about Mayagi was that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Keiichi nodded back at her, walking over to the ticket counter. He came back moments later with a neatly folded map of the town.

"This should do," Ito-san said, tucking it into his pocket. "Let's go to the craft store first, then we can figure out where to go next. Business before pleasure."

It was an expression his dad was fond of. It was likely best for Keiichi that he never found out why.

Shiori watched as Keiichi went to get a map, stretching idly as she waited for him to return. He would make a good leader in the other world, she thought to herself. He certainly did a good job of taking charge when it was just the two of them - which was definitely a positive thing. Shiori was so spacey it was a wonder she made it to half the things she did. But Keiichi...

"Ah, right!" she said, tuning into the real world as he came back. "It won't take me long to find the stuff, either! Unless the shop rearranged it's layout..."

She really hoped it didn't though. She hated when stores would do it to make things "easier" for everyone. Usually, she just ended up confused and would stop going to the place for a long time. Long enough that she forgot the old layout and could adjust to the new one.

	And they spent the rest of the day shopping. The end~ (Reply to this) (Parent)
