It's party time on Deesuko Ballia but things get a little out of hand and the brave crew of the Katabami find out that sometimes partying too hard can have serious consequences.

In other words, apparently this is a harem anime now.

[Being freed from the hug is some kind of a relief─ or at least Ragna assumes that's the reason. Because it certainly has nothing to do with Kodachi looking happy again. Nope.]

What, seriously?

[The Grim Reaper can't help but grin at the suggestion. He's certainly not opposed to the idea, although he doesn't feel he's done anything to deserve it. On the other hand... hell yeah, free food. So the only remaining problem is─]

... This might not be the best island for this, y'know.

[Getting a bottle of rum or a punch in the face seems to be fairly easy around these parts. He doesn't know about pastry, though.]

[Ragna, the most tsunest of tsuns.]

Perhaps not, but there must be something sweet around here, if not the most refined.

[She chanced a look at the bartender. Probably best not to ask him. He might recommend them places that were as bad as the current bar they were sitting in.]

[But really, she was just so glad to be talking to Ragna again that she beamed at him eagerly for a second before she stood up.]

Come on, let's go look around. ♥

[Shut up you baka.]

Coming, coming... Sheesh, what a pain in the ass...

[He doesn't seem even remotely annoyed for once, though. The man follows Kodachi, not bothering to finish his sorry excuse for a drink─ he may be used to less-than-average quality of food and beverages, since being a wanted terrorist makes it difficult to dine at any better restaurants, but in this world he doesn't have to stick to that.

With that thought in mind, Ragna makes his way towards the exit.]

Well? Where do you wanna go?

I think I saw a bakery in that direction.

[She pointed towards the part of the town that seemed . . . well, less seedy? Not that any place in Deesuko Ballia wasn't seedy, but there were some wealthier people on the island that did have more "refined" tastes.]

I was looking for a date for Pi-chan when I found it.

[Smiling, she hooked her arm in his happily and led him along, pressing herself against his arm with glee.]

I missed you, you know!

Yeah, yeah...

[Read: "me too". But he'd probably choke on those words if he tried to voice them. Instead, he lets the girl drag him wherever she wants, though not without letting out a groan. Just because he's agreeing to being subjected to this doesn't mean he won't be at least a little difficult. You know, the usual.

Ragna raises an eyebrow at that, not quite sure if he understood that right.]

A date... for the bird? What the eff would you do that for?

[He can hardly imagine the point of those between people, much less pets.]

Well, why not? It would be cute if we suddenly had baby parrots.

[In Kodachi's mind, that made perfect sense.]

[They finally reached the wealthier (and consequently gaudier) parts of Deesuko Ballia, and Kodachi pointed out the bakeshop she'd mentioned earlier. It was full of confections that were needlessly opulent, and nothing you'd find in a truly high-class pastry shop. Bigger was not always better.]

[She stepped inside, and the servers bowed to her unctuously.]

What do you want, Mr. Ragna?

[The waitresses sidled up to him, batting their lashes at him. Looked like some of them were looking for . . . big spenders.]

[That went from "date" to "mating partner" real fast.]

"Cute"? Hell no. The last thing that boat needs is more animals running around...

[They already have too many of those if you ask him ~~and none are fluffy enough to justify keeping them~~. He can only hope that project doesn't work out.

Once they reach their destination, however, Ragna instantly forgets all about the pet woes, which are now replaced by the discomfort caused by the waitresses. Seriously, do they have to stare at him like that? It's unlikely to make him want to spend more money here.]

You mean besides leave? [One would hope that, combined with one of his most potent death glares would be enough to deter the waitresses, but no dice. They might be used to that sort of thing.] ... Dunno. Do they have cheesecake?

They'd be flying around.

[Not the point, but . . . it had to be said.]

[Kodachi glanced at the women who were all but trying to sidle up to Ragna, and she stifled a laugh.]

He's married!

[At that, they all looked disappointed, though some didn't look too deterred by the idea.]

They do. I'll have a cheesecake slice as well.

[He's not going to grace nitpicking at his word choice with a comment, thank you very much.

Really, it's only thanks to Kodachi's comment that Ragna catches up, and─ oh. Seriously? That's what they're after? Don't they have anything better to do with their lives? The Grim Reaper can't help but roll his eyes at the realization.]

Yeah, what she said. Now scram.

[He admits with a grimace, elbowing his way through them without a moment of consideration and walks up to his companion, grumbling under his breath all the while.]

For once it's useful...

[His marital status, that is.]

[That, and maybe a ride on his broomstick.]

[As it was, Kodachi's thoughts didn't go in that direction (she was a maiden, thank you very much), so she simply shooed the girls away by declaring that their object of affection was hitched.]

[Some of them still posed at him from time to time, though.]

You've broken quite a few hearts today!

[Kodachi let out a laugh as two waiters arrived with their cheesecake slices.]

[Ragna figured as much, honestly; unlike certain other people participating in this conversation, he doesn't believe in that "love at first sight" bullshit (and the girls don't exactly look like the kind, either). Which, mind you, doesn't make him any more interested.

The Grim Reaper makes a face, driving the spoon into his slice of cheesecake with a little more force than necessary.]

I can still break something else. Like an arm or a leg.

[He can feel the waitresses boring their eyes into his back from where they're standing, so it's not hard to guess what he's referring to.]

[That finally put the ladies off, and Kodachi just primly watched them scuttle away, now sending him darker looks.]

Honestly, how violent!

[Pot, meet kettle.]

You mustn't say such things in front of ladies - though undoubtedly they deserve it, whorish as they are.

[And suddenly there was an uproar of angry, hissing women with claws out and fire in their eyes, all marching towards their table.]

[Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Ragna's fairly certain he hasn't felt killing intent this intense ever since the time he faced Hakumen in front of the Kagutsuchi's Cauldron, and considering the masked freak's sole purpose seems to be erasing his existence? That's saying something.]

... Kodachi... I think it's time for us to go.

[He stands up slowly, swallowing hard. He's more than ready to throw the girl over his shoulder and storm out of the place should the need arise, cake be damned.]

[Kodachi looked at them all imperiously, still eating her cake. She was completely unaware of how slowly Ragna stood up, as though he was afraid that if he startled them, they'd attack like wild animals.]

Why? It's not as though these silly women want anything from us except your money -

[A teapot sailed above her head, and she swatted it away with a club that came out of nowhere, shattering it into several little pieces.]

They don't really love you; they just want to play around, and good girls don't do that sort of thing!

[They came charging at her, and she leapt up from where she was seated, overturning the table.]

My money? I thought you were paying─ wait, that's not the problem here!

[Ragna jumps back to avoid both the waitresses and the flipped table. This is really getting out of hand.]

I know that! But you don't just go and say stuff like that to their faces!

[Says the guy who was threatening the girls a moment ago.]

Well, I was, until they decided to be uncivilized about things!

[Never mind that she started it. Kind of.]

[The manager hurried over, yelling, "ladies, please calm down!" over the din, but the waitresses were far too determined to get her, and Kodachi was far too busy throwing napkins and plates and spoons and forks in their faces.]

[She looks like a picture of civilized behavior herself here, flinging all this stuff around.

Between that, the waitresses going cray cray and the manager joining the fray, things are really starting to look ugly here. Why can't he ever have a meal─ or in this case a dessert─ in peace? Why does his eating out always end up in destruction of the place (which, knowing his luck, he'll be charged with)? WHY?!

─so with that thought in mind, Ragna decides to follow what he believes to be the most reasonable course of action ~~based on his experience, unfortunately~~ and grabs Kodachi, tossing her over his shoulder. Hopefully she doesn't mind it too much because it's for her own good.]

Sorry, but we're in a hurry! See ya!

[And just like that, he promptly storms out of the place.]
