“As you know, I usually drink my coffee black, but for today I uh... “ He did bring the exact same excuse last time, to get a milk-coffee. But as if it was anyone’s business that he couldn’t handle the black kind!! “A cappuccino, please. And... whatever beverage you want, it’ll be my treat.” A pause before he added in a quieter voice: “...As thanks since you helped me with my injured ankle last time.” 

But of course, Sou couldn’t do such a nice gesture without distracting from it right after. Which was why he mischievously smiled at her and added:

“Oh and by the way, do I have to pay extra if I want it in cups instead of spilled all over my jacket, or will a tip be enough?”

Now, Raine wasn’t entirely keen on the idea of giving The Stars any more data about her than they already had. She had always been a private person, and having the enemy know your weaknesses put you in danger. This last little charade of theirs actually hurt people, with the monsters being unleashed on the streets and people very likely starving in their homes unprepared for weeks. At least this time their little game was mostly optional, and Raine had already been interested in checking out the Intraspace.

For a beginner, this scavenger hunt looked a good place to start. Raine and Colette had agreed to take on the challenge together, and so the professor got to Fibonacci a little earlier that morning to do a short quest or two to level up enough to afford some better robes for her avatar. Though nothing reminded her of what she would normally wear, some of the starter priestess robes looked similar enough to Asgard’s traditional wear that it caught her eye and she chose that for her outfit. Besides that, all of her gear was basic starter items.

Usually, Sou wouldn’t even enter a forest, no matter what activity might be held there. After all, inside the woods were a lot of nasty insects, plus... it always involved a lot of walking! (And he just preferred to stay inside in any situation anyway.)

However, once he heard of the dust he could win in this treasure hunt, he was, as a low paid employee all his life so far, very intrigued to try this weird sounding challenge. 

Finding some mushrooms with a pig handed for you for free for this, couldn’t be that hard, right? 

Or so he thought, then unfortunately, he didn’t expect for the teacup pig to be this stubborn... Made sense though... it was still a baby after all, huh?

“Come on. Work with me here... finding some truffles  can’t be that hard, can it?”

Not that talking to the pig would really help, but desperate times call for desperate measures!

But suddenly the piglet decided to pull on the leash with all it’s little might, and weak as this teal haired young man was, there was no way he could keep it back, until it managed to run away from his grasp with the leash still attached on it.

“What?! No!!”

Oh, but it seemed like it did run towards a to him familiar person!

“Ah! Miss Colette, good timing!”
