The table adventure II

As the silence occurred again Furtrap decided to spoke up an another question. "Okay I got that the party went lose. But nothing from anything we observe to this point, make a sense about why we ended like this in the first place. As far as I get, there was an issue about some backstage shenanigans. On which some of us, get caught in them. But what is 'that thing', that the supposed third party was after? Savii, the fox lady said, that they act like it must been in your group possession. So what it was?"

While his personal assistant was writing down her 'good deeds' into her work booklet, she gives that question a little though. "Hmm, I must admit that I am at lost at this one. We just followed obtained map and those two groups hook up on ours tails." As she closed the booklet, she had a serious look as she was considering something. "But, when I think about it back: The only other possible item that come to mi mind is princess mirror dagger knife, which she asked me to hold for a while."

As she nonchalantly pull that 'crime evidence' out from her clothes… raising it in front of herself as if she was admiring the art of this interested item... she show it for everyone to see and admire… she looked at the mirror image of her on that blade. And she got a surprised look on her face, because the mirror image of her on that mirrored blade... Displayed her without any 'mechanical parts', simply as a regular Neko girl. [cat-girl]

On the other hand the two males, (Plus the defrosting one.), from this party only managed to get pale.

It was really only a short moment, not longer, until Roxxan, swap whit her sister to force herself into this scene. She 'furiously' jumped over the table toward Savii with battle scream. It was quick, it was intense, but within few seconds, the black princess sat back to her place. She was holding the presses blade close to her chest with a relief expression on her face. It's almost looked like very important item to her on which she is unhealthily emotionally attached. (Maybe it was memento, or gift from loved one, or maybe, there is simply more to it.)

The rest of the party just have pulled out they eyes on what was going on.

.

The withe furry has keeping his safe distance when he asked his maid a question. "Shall I ask (How you got it?), or are we moving on?"

Derailed maid retake her posture. "Eh-- during not just the wedding party but the entire event, there was really a big amount of character that approached princesses quite directly. She was suspiciously very popular and nearly without any free moment. It showed to be a little too much for her to handle it peacefully in personal space manners. Its only mi guess, but most of them probably doesn't belong to hosts or visitors team. And if you asking about that knife?: it was just moment before the reporter showed up in that dark alley on stadium, and Roxxan just finishing 'making a point'. Somehow I just forget that I have it whit me for all this time… What is weird, because I neither have it equipped in fast slot [handing on belt], or have in inventory [bag], or other slots [under clothes]. It was just there even if I was changing clothes. Weird…"

Roxxan give her a suspicious glance. "Wait for a moment 'mon-chérie'! [my dear/ sweetheart] How do you even been capable to hold something that is 'soul bounded' to me?" [Normally she cannot lose it, throw away, sell it, or put it away, if she doesn't un-bounded it first. (In game, this mostly quest item or gear cannot leave you inventory even in 'lose all stuff' event/effect. Like respawn on death event.)]

It was Newdori who give her answer. "And for those things, all of you shall be glad that you have me here. I told earlier that Savii had Roxxan marked as her Sensei of 'art of knife'. If we think about it, then as yours 'kohai', [younger student/ employee/ trainee] she shall be capable to wield soul bonded weapon of her sensei. But without all fancy abilities like supper attack. If that weapon possess any. For example, the 'kohai/sensei' status can be used for direct training purpose with this concrete weapon. Or if we extend the usage of this title to far; we shall take into context that there was a servants who carried they knight's weapons while they were on travel. We used to ignore it but we have here a noble and a servant. So in a theory, she can act as varlet [personal servant] who can carry a legendary item placed on red cushion. No Mather how lame it sounds, it's still fit the requirements for a soul bonded and cursed items. She will not lose the cursed blade until she hand over it to someone who is worthy of it. And for the part 'where she forget that she have it': I can assume that it was a side effect of some enchant line like 'Keep this secret item in you possession, until I will ask for it.' Then Savii will protect it without even noticing it."

They newest addition on theirs party in wolf coat only nodded with weak comment that this make a perfect sense, that anyone can figure it out if they pay attention.

.

As they were cracking this detective case step by step, Furtrap had another question. "So the reason why was Mega putted on bench by his trainer is?..."

The maid just shakes her head in denial gesture. "I doubt It's was because princess Roxxan sensed that Mega is in danger when the third team increased they attention on him. In order to protect him, or her investment, she push him out of the game board. More or less, she probably realizes they can missuses him against her. Because she dint want him to accidentally analyze data for them, she must bring up a plan where he will be put off the equation. Then she act as if she dint noticed anything. No one shall at that time predict, that everybody will lose theirs memories."

As the Roxxan putted her 'presses' away, it was Vronica who speak up. "Savii, you just say, that you are the only one who remembering a thing. It can be for Mega's 'Hero' trait."

Of course that comment hit the nerves on the red priest. "Don't tell me; that you two redheads, get actually fooled by her children's lies! That statement about remembering a thing is not true even to half way. She got hit with that 'memory eraser', but that damned thing don't worked properly on her. Even if she wish to keep certain memories forever, her current memories at everything else from the competition are full of holes. She just goes with the flow of events, trying to only look like she knows what's going on."

But that alarmed the wolf. "Wait, don't any of us even thought about possibility, that we are simply watched by someone? Not just on the race, and party, but right now? I mean-- In different way that we are used to it?"

.

On MegaMem3 comment Furtrap just pointed with his paw to other side of hallway. "Well-- That will possibly explain the kid's gang on other table that has been watching us this entire time."

The entire party turned their gazes on table across the hallway, and onto the group of kids without parents having this aura of battle hardened veterans. They had been there for a while. The moment they were mentioned by the party, they become a visibly nervous, as if they were 'Busted'.

For a short moment Savii was like her old self, speaking like a printer machine or web assistant with Pc speaker. "Interesting… They went… Totally… Unnoticed… Hidden from viewer's perspective… Until… they have… been mentioned… What a Mystery…"

Normally Vronica will not comment this fact, so it was Roxxan who make summary. "'Mon Cheri' [My dear/ Sweethard], aren't you just trying too hard, to get out of the hook? Or you finally give up on sanity? And isn't those the commando girls, from that Chinook helicopter?"

As one after another get hit by realization, even Newdori spoke up. "Wait! More importantly: Isn't there between them our miss movie director prodigy?" He pointed at her. "Did you recorded event this shit? For what?: Like a next season of 'Kurama Adventures'? Or as a spin-off 'Fizzi Adventures'? Because he was a hit among you? That's ridiculous! Who will ever watch someone, who watching video about himself, who watching video about himself, as he doing stuff? It is this some gig about reaction video from third person perspective? How far you will stretch the art tag by making this movie?"

But the wolf 'Hero trait' has working as it supposedly had when Mega spoke up. "You guys are on some weird challenge or what? Then what about the other group in brow coats and hats? They still wear them like they were actors from movie with crime or detective plot, as if some famous movie studio was recording new bestseller on stadium grounds. Now I recognize some of them from the fist fight skirmishes that occurred on the stadium during the heat up from race competition. They were obviously on no good then. But right now this shady group is watching us, sitting on their table with even clearer 'no good intention'. Why nobody not mentioned them?"

.

It was like the cliché from restaurant background when two opposing group that normally go throat to throat in city side alleys, only now each other realize, that they are in the same restaurant, and what more to irony, they sits nearly next to each other.

As both groups stared over/ above/ around the seats in boxes at each other with 'WTF' expressions, somebody will count seconds until this place will be wrecked by expected thunder strike. In similar way, when someone see lighting flash on dark clouds in distance, but he will stay still counting seconds until the thunder arrive, to figure out how many minutes remaining until that storm arrive.

And the storm was arrived quickly. The military Lollies in air pilot's uniforms on signal from their leader picked up shotguns, SMGs and rifles.

But before they holed up the other box with bullets, turning it into a pile of scraps, trash and splinters... the long coats manage to escape through window, after they leader broke the window using himself as a cannon ball. The long coats even manage to save theirs maid from bullet barrage… I mean they managed to kidnap, the waitress that was with them at that moment, taking her as a hostage. (We ignore the fact that she jump out of the window on her own and was running in middle of that group.)

Of course it was moment of realization when the Lollies went on pursuing trough that blasted window on ruined box. The maid that was with those kids don't hesitate for more than two second when she went after them, jumping out from the broken window, escaping this place… I mean to follow her assigned master on their quest, as that was her assignment.

Contrary to this Meliodas, the Irish barman/ bar owner with 'leprechaun' trait, who with boring expression observed the entire incident, only stated: "Fine, the problematic one is gone. That's mean I shall remade the working schedule for the rest of the waitress."
