"Oh, thank you."

A few other people had appeared, as Kino took the bento box from the black-haired boy, and caught the cookie tossed to her by the woman. She wasn't about to reject the free food, after all, even if she wasn't intending on eating it immediately.

"If everyone eats all this, aren't they going to get flat?" asked Hermes, half curious and half cautionary. Kino briefly looked at the motorrad for a few moments before laughing. Flat? Hermes had made some blunders before with sayings, but this was certainly a new one. Hermes, however, was less then pleased with Kino's reaction.

"If you're going to start laughing, at least explain why," asked the motorrad, indignantly. Taking a breath, Kino stopped laughing, and gave the vehicle a smile.

"That's fat, Hermes, not flat," she began, patting the motorrad's seat as she tucked the bento box in one of her bags. "And besides, I don't think anyone can eat all of this. This is a lot more than anyone could eat."

"Oh, that does make more sense."

Kino took a bite of the cookie as she took a step away from Hermes. Considering what the woman in blue had said, she decided the best option was simply to be wary of her surroundings. After all, there wasn't really anything else she could think of that could be done to prepare for creatures made entirely out of food.

[h2]Sakura Kyouko[/h2]

Kyouko lept to the side, swiftly avoiding the monster's foot as she did. Some other people, some crazy freaks or whatever, had joined in the fight. There was some guy with a sword, too, but she wasn't paying much attention to that. They could at least keep the monster distracted. Kyouko re-attached the links of her spear, jabbing when she could as the beast stomped around. The stupid thing had to have some part she could get a good hit in, it was made out of food...

"Just die already, you-" she was interrupted, however, when the beast stumbled, something huge blasting into its side and tearing a hole into it. She lept back as the food beast stumbled, to avoid the creature's pained staggering and trashing. But... it wasn't dead yet...!

She didn't need to hear the girl tell them to finish it off.

"It was dead the moment I saw it!" Kyouko declared, grinning, as she charged, rushing towards the beast's underside. Deftly dodging slamming feet, she swung her spear upward, burying the blade in the bottom of the monster's head. The parts of her spear separated once more, as she forced the blade up into the roaring beast's head, the shaft thrusting higher up inside. She swiftly turned and sprinted back out, wrenching the chain, shaft, and point forward.

Somewhat less satisfyingly then blood, various sauces splattered across the ground as Kyouko split the taco monster's head entirely in half down the middle.

She flicked her spear clean, then rested it on her shoulder, as the corpse fell sideways behind her with a resounding thud.

"What would you even call that thing?" Kyouko wondered, tilting her head to one side. She shrugged. "Besides 'kiddy monster movie reject'."
