At about noon, at Yuuko’s shop

“Watanuki~~♥!! Coooommmeee here’s pleaseee!♥” Yuuku-san said while laying on her butterfly couch with her pink just-drank-sum-sake cheeks

Watanuki comes in, in his uniform with his headband and apron and all “Yuuko-san? What do you want now?” he says trying to look calming but clearly has a vein popping.

“Watanuki-kun! I want sum Okonomiyaki for dinner tonight~~!♥ With lots and lots of shrimp and squid~~!!!” Yuuko said happily and waving her hands back and forth

Again with a bigger vein popping Watanuki says “Gah! You have an unquenchable appetite Yuuko-san! We just had lunch!! And why do you always ask for such outrageous things!! It’s very hard to get seafood at this time of year!! (or very pricy!!) And also it’s really early right now do I need to go now?” “Yes, make sure you hurry up! Because I’m really hungryyy right now!!! Come back before it’s dark!” replies Yuuko. “Bah! You’re unbelievable Yuuko-san!” even though he shouts and complains he goes to buy the stuff.

“Oh and Watanuki~~♥!!! Don’t forget to buy some ginjō-shu sake!!! It goes great with Okonomiyaki!! And I heard tonight the stars will be out very clearly so we need it to watch the stars!! So that means you need to buy at least 7 bottles so we can have sum laterrr~~~♥!!” Yuuko-san adds happily again.

Watanuki looking very pissed off mumbles under his breath “dang alcoholic, con-artist”

“I heard that!!!” Yuuko-san replies

Watanuki goes out the door.

Watanuki walks towards the store while complaining and mumbling to himself. He arrives at the store.

The store on the outside had windows that showed the inside and had posters and Ads posted on the brick walls. The store was about average size and has vegetables, canned foods, fruits, poultry, meat, juice, boxed foods, and bread. It had tiled checkered grey and white floors. The walls were lined with some refrigerators and was plain white. The ceiling had the long lights that were inside of the ceiling. It had 2 store clerks active at the moment. Watanuki approached the stored clerk with the tag named “Jack”.

Watanuki – “Um, excuse me but where is the shrimp and squid?”

Store clerk Jack – “Sorry mister but we ran out yesterday. We’ll be getting another shipment of them in 2 days”

Watanuki – “oh, thank you anyways”

Watanuki walks out the store calmly and then suddenly the vein pops again.

“DANG THT YUUKU-SAN!! I KNEW IT’D BE HARD TO GET SHRIMP AND SQUID AT THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!! BWA!!! SHE ALWAYS HAS TO EAT SUCH THINGS!!!” Watanuki complains and complains and starts running out hold his head and complaining sum more. “AND THT DOMEKI!! HE ALWAYS HAS TO BE THERE HUH!? ALWAYS LEECHING OFF OF ME!! AND FOLLOWING ME!! AND THT DANG “humph” and “oh” OF HIS!!!! IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!!”

Something starts rustling around in Watanuki’s bag. Watanuki looks at it and thinks DANG SPIRITS!! YOU CAUGHT ME AT A BAD TIME!! Watanuki kicks his bag and the bag hits the side of the store. “owwwieee!! Watanuki-kun hurted Mokona!! @.@” Mokona says while rolling out of the bag. “EH!? MOKONA!? WAT R U DOING HERE!?” exclaims Watanuki. “Mokona wanted to make sure Watanuki picked right brand of sake!!♥ But then Watanuki hurted Mokona~~!! Now Watanuki should make sure he buys another 3 bottles for Mokona to drink on the way!♥” Mokona replied. Watanuki looks pissed again. He picks up Mokona and starts stretching his face and says angrily “You don’t look hurt to me. The REAL reason you came was to get tht extra sake all along wasn’t it Mokona?”

Still stretching Mokonas face a shadow is cast over Watanuki from behind. Watanuki starts to look pale ~~~ “Yoh!” “AHHHH!!!!” Watanuki screams. Sure enough it’s Domeki “Why are you so loud this late at night?” says Domeki. “WHY ELSE WOULD I BE!? IT’S BECAUSE YOU SNUCK UP ON ME AT THIS LATE OF NIGHT!!!” Watanuki screams while Domeki is putting his pinky in his ear. Huh? Late at night? He thought. Watanuki looks up at the sky and indeed it was very dark and it was night. Sure is cloudy tonight. Can’t even See a glimpse of the moon he thought Wait a minute…. He recalls ~~ “Yes, make sure you hurry up! Because I’m really hungryyy right now!!! Come back before it’s dark!” replies Yuuko. ~~ he also recalls ~~ “Oh and Watanuki~~♥!!! Don’t forget to buy some ginjō-shu sake!!! It goes great with Okonomiyaki!! And I heard tonight the stars will be out very clearly so we need it to watch the stars!! So that means you need to buy at least 7 bottles so we can have sum laterrr~~~♥!!” Yuuko-san adds happily again.

Yuuko-san said it would be very clear tonight so why is it super cloudy? And it’s already night… I couldn’t have been out here this long…. What the heck is going on?

Watanuki checks his watch WHAT!? IT’S ALREADY 11:45p.m.!? I’VE BEEN GONE FOR ALMOST 12 HOURS!? IMPOSSIBLE! “Domeki-kun will you come with us to get sum shrimp and squid~~?♥” asks Mokona. “WAHH!!! NO!! NEVER!! DOMEKI CAN’T COME!!” Watanuki screams making an X with his hands. “Sure” says Domeki. Watanuki screams “HEY! YOU LISTENING I SAID NOOOO!!!” “Yay! The more, the merrier! Let’s go I know where there is always shrimp and squid follow my lead! But we have to hurry or else it’ll close soon!” Mokona says while pointing right. Domeki goes and Watanuki follows while still complaining and such. “Okay! Turn Right! Right Again! Right! Right! Turn Right Again!” says Mokona. Watanuki looks at Mokona and Mokona smiles happily. “MOKONA!!!! WE’RE WALKING IN CIRCLE FOR LIKE 10 MIN!! IF YOU GO RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT YOU’LL END UP WHERE YOU STARTED!!!” “hmmmm… Go into that shop right there! ^^” says Mokona happily. Watanuki looks at the shop. “………………….. THT’S THE SHOP I WAS AT EARLIER!!!!” Watanuki screams. “oh” says Domeki. Then he goes in. “WAH! DON’T LEAVE ME!!!” Watanuki follows after. “Huh?” goes Watanuki.

The outside had looked exactly like the other store. Had the same title and brick walls. Had all the same ads and posters and from the outside windows the inside appeared to be the same. But when they entered it was as if they had entered a completely different store. The inside was huge. Much bigger than it looked like what could fit inside judging from the outside. The floor was lined with glossy wood. The walls had a vintage gold and black wallpaper. The ceiling had chandeliers and looked at if it was sparkling. In places of where there would normally be the vegetables, the bread, the poultry, etc. were lovely antique looking couches, tables, stools, and chairs. Where the refrigerators would be was a bar with only one bartender which was at the moment facing the rack of alcoholic beverages on the wall. That bartender was the only living thing in the whole place. “W…where are we?” asked Watanuki. “We have arrived in the store! ^^” replies Mokona. “EH!? BUT IT LOOKED JUST LIKE THE OTHER STORE ON THE OUTSIDE!!” exclaimed Watanuki. “Shush Watanuki, you are indoors at the moment” says Mokona. “I agree with Mokona please be quiet while in here sir.” Says the bartender still faced toward the rack of alcohol behind him. “Oh I’m sorry” says Watanuki. “Well, I’m guessing if you’re here you must have a reason. What is that reason?” asks the bartender. “We’re here for shrimp and squid!!♥ ^^” says Mokona. “Ah okay. Is it for Yuuko-san?” asks the bartender “Y…Yes” replies Watanuki. “Alright then I’ll go get it for you” the bartender turns around. The bartender is a sleek and slim young woman with short, brown hair and soft, amber eyes. “Y...Y…You’re that girl who always talks to Yuuko-san through Mokona! The one who was asleep and traveling with those 3 other odd people! I think I over heard your name once…. It was… Sakura! You’re Sakura-chan!” says Watanuki.
