三十三 (Voice Post, Japanese)

The trees here are unusual. Usually it takes a lot longer for a sapling grow this much. ...Well, whatever.

[A pause, followed by the light clink of glasses in the background.]

Ah, that's right. Just a fair warning. Just because Shinjiro is out doesn't mean there's going to be sudden change in policy. I'm not doing anyone any special favors, so expect for pay for your drinks in full.

That means you, Ichinomiya Kantarou.

I'll be here throughout the week, so don't wait up for me. There is someone that I would like to introduce to you though.

It's strange that I'm actually getting used to this.

No body guard duties or odd jobs, no fighting youkai and yuurei and not having to face that bastard Minamoto at almost every sign of the worst trouble. It gets dull sometimes, but... there's still something.

Hmph. What am I even talking about...?

I don't know, they do look a little different.

Hey, where did you go?

[Voice//Japanese]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I passed a few of them by on the way to the bar. I guess they were planted.

Out. I work as a bartender at the Northern Lights.

[brat-kitsune.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh!

Maybe they'll turn out better than the trees these scientists planted. They don't look very alive.

[yurisama]

What are we supposed to pay for them with?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Items of trade. The usual.

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Got no worries with you watching my inventory.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Just being cautious.

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

I expected that.

The place doing alright, otherwise?

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

You sound like you're having fun, Haruka-san.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Does it?

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

Mm.

Maybe bar tending is your true calling?

[kaenmajin.livejournal.com]

Unusual. Yes, I would agree. Nature rarely thrives in such hostile conditions.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Then again, there is very little about this place that can be considered normal.

[kaenmajin.livejournal.com]

This is true. Are the trees natural, or protected by other means, do you know?

H-He talks with you because you're interesting ;;

[sequencevampire.livejournal.com]

Oh, the stick-man.

Too bad Haruka can't read it different.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Oi, brat.

|D <3

[sequencevampire.livejournal.com]

You have a very forgetful mind. I said it's sama.

[kan_chyan]

Cheap!

I LOL'd.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

What was that?

He's always funny

[kan_chyan]

Cheap!! Haruka is stingy!

Fine, if you're so intent on doing it that way, you should pay for it. It's not like I have anything to pay with.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Well if it's so dull...

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the quiet.

Though I did mean to ask if you still like to have a drink every once in awhile.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to. Rico is rather independent, so I shouldn't worry about leaving her alone for too long.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Which ones were you looking at?

...and hey, you're the one standing in at the bar? What do drinks run around here?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

The ones that were growing fruit... or what looked like it. I think there's at least one in the green house at the high school.

I've been standing in for a long time now. Very little. Items of trade can earn you a decent tab for awhile.
