Ciri "Never knew you were good with a gun." she asks.

Reima "There are many things I'm good at that you don't know about."

Ciri "Oh? You'll be telling me more about that when we get back." she says with a grin.

Reima shakes his head, and grabs the large stuffed animal before handing it to Nerissa on his shoulders.

She hugs it tightly, the rabbit being around half her own size.

Reima "Anyone else want anything?" he asks, glancing at the rest of the group.

Yukari points at some kind of pillow hidden in the back, one so hidden it makes even Reima have to squint at it... Is that...

"Wa! How did that get here? N-no that's not a prize!"

Reima glowers at him, "It is." he states, glaring at the man.

...

"O-Ok..."

Reima easily knocks down the bottles with a little telekenisis again, forcing the man to retrieve teh pillow in the back... Upon seeing it the rest of the group gives the stand owner a hard stare, him handing over the full height Moka body-pillow in embarrassment. "I... This was a prank gift by my friend...."

Mizore/Nerissa "Pervert/Creep"

Reimna "Well, now I won't feel bad about cleaning this place out... Anyone else want anything?" he asks, the man paling, those large stuffed animals worth more than he can get back in returns. They are supposed to only attract customers!

The girls nod, Moka receiving a large bat, Mizore being handed a huge stuffed icecream pillow and Ciri being given a Unicorn one... Obviously she doesn't appreciate the gift.

Reima also gives Yukari and Mizore's parents a few gifts, regardless if they want them or not... This was only to spite the greedy stand owner. He looks up at Nerissa who's happily sitting on his shoulders, "Where to next?"

Nerissa slowly looks around and spots her teacher Shizuka Nekonome, the cat-woman with a poor disguise playing a game to win gold-fish.

The group walk over, Yukari calling her, "Miss Nekonome?"

The cat woman brings her arm back, hooking one of the plastic toys and cheering. "I win!... Oh? Sendo-San?"

Moka "Miss I thought you were off getting lunch?" she asks, confused.

Shizuka grins, showing her sharp canines, "I was!" she says, grabbing the bag containing the gold fish she'd one and stuffing the poor thing in her mouth.

...

The group watches her chew a couple down before swallowing, placing some more money down and playing the game again.

Reima grins and whispers to Ciri "Something's "Fishy" about this." he says with a chuckle, her punching him in the arm for the crappy pun.

Moka "Ludvig-san? Do you not live in Japan?" she asks.

Reima shakes his head, "No... We live... Quite far away from Japan." he says.

Yukari "But your Japanese is really good..."

Reima nods, "It's daily practice, I believe that language is the key to life itself and so I must try my best to keep it up to scratch."

Ciri snorts at his words but doesn't say anything, the only thing this guy does daily is complain about his workload.

Moka "Then, you should try Takoyaki!"

Reima raises a brow, "What's that?"

Moka "It's a fluffy balls of goodness, that you can choose whatever you want put in it!"

Reima shrugs, "You guys wanna get some?" he asks, Nerissa, Ciri and the rest of the group nodding.

The ground walk over to the nearest stand and make a couple orders, no one gets the squid probably because of witnessing that teacher devour raw Gold-fish... Instead some are filled with marinated pork, beef, or vegetables.

Mizore and her mother even request some ice with theirs for some reason, leaving it freezing even after cooking.

Reima looks down at the box in his hands, six Takoyaki sitting there covered in mayonnaise and some other kinds of sauces. "They didn't go light with the condiments did they?" he mutters, getting memories of when he'd tried to drink a bottle of ketchup.

Moka eats one and her face lights up, "Its good! Try it!"

Reima shrugs and pops one in his mouth, getting a satisfying amount of resistance as he chews it, as well as the strong flavors of the pork and batter... The sauces blend together and aren't too overpowering for his palate. "Shit... These are good... We should get this in Ichor!" he exclaims, Ciri nodding next to him.

The group continues to exploring the festival, playing games, eating food and generally having a good time.

Mikogami looks down at a tiny girl with wings, not bigger than his fist. "Do you understand what I want you to do?"

The girl quickly nods, "Yes sir!"

Mikogami frowns at her, "Oh? Then, remind me of what I just said." he asks.

...

"I've forgotten, Tehe?" she says, playfully knocking on the side of her head.

Mikogami grabs a nearby mirror and holds it above the floor, "I will smash this if you don't take my words seriously!"

"NOOOO! PLEASE DON'T!"

Mikogami "Then you will do as you are told, once you're done you will be free to do whatever you want... Within certain limits."

"Then... Could you explain what you want me to do again?"

Mikogami sighs, internally wondering why he'd chosen to put his hope in this idiot. "You will use the mirror, to see Nerissa Ludvig's true form... As well as Reima Ludvig." he states, the atmosphere becoming ominous.
