[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

As they walked, Youmu shook her head. There wasn't any reason she could think of that Yuyuko-sama would cause any sort of incident in these circumstances. Certainly, she had caused one in the past, but there was no reason for her to do such a thing here. Youmu was confident in her mistress, certain that she had no desire to cause any kind of trouble. For a few moments, she looked in the direction the strange little monkey had ran off. Could he really find Yuyuko-sama? If she stood out that much, she supposed it was relatively likely that would be the case. No-one here dressed like she was used to.

"I can't see why Yuyuko-sama would cause any sort of incident here," she began. While her mistress could be... silly, she had no doubt that her judgement when it came to these kinds of matters wouldn't lead to any sort of troublemaking. Perhaps to be a little clearer, Youmu felt confident that Yuyuko-sama's first act in a new world would be in sampling lots of new food. Not that she'd attempt to do anything bad anyway, but she wouldn't think about doing anything else until she had given the local cuisine a try.

And moments later...

"Ah?! You found her?!"

The only reason Youmu [i]didn't[/i] immediately go darting off at top speed was because she didn't know where to go, and had to follow the monkey creature. And when they arrived...

"Yuyuko-sama!"

Immediately, the small, white-haired girl darted to her mistress's side, relief filling her heart as she did. To say she was happy was an understatement. She had been concerned that she wouldn't be able to find Yuyuko-sama at all, but now... well, that fear had been put to rest rather permanent. Youmu bowed when she reached Yuyuko's side.

"I apologize for being unable to accompany you, Yuyuko-sama. We were seperated in being taken here, er..." she glanced to the side. That tower of plates... it wasn't exactly surprising, but she had to wonder if the owners of the buffet were going to be happy about it... her genuine smile of joy became a somewhat more awkward one. "Ah-hah... you've been busy..."

Still... the silvery-haired half-phantom straightened. Even in spite of her apprehension about the reaction of the shop's owner, she was so relieved to be reunited with Yuyuko-sama...

"I'm glad to know I can continue to serve you even for as long as we're in this world."

[h2]Mordred[/h2]

It had basically been luck on the part of that bastard that didn't cause a much larger explosion, and the blonde knight glared as he deployed his gem shards to attack. In a way that, naturally, prevented her from attempting to do just about anything. The more time she spent around Alberich the more she quite frankly hated him. The moment this was over Mordred was going to request never to be put on the same team as him again. Or she couldn't be blamed for what she was going to do.

That gem attack also didn't work, at least she assumed it didn't. Rather, it caused globs of goo to become detached from the foul-smelling creature, revealing... something deeper inside of it. There was a creature at the center of the goo? Or a core? Was that the vulnerable spot?

"If there's one thing that was useful for, it's showing us the real target!" Mordred commented, darting towards the blob as red mana crackled up the length of her blade. Her next, sweeping strike was meant to swat away some of the goo, her attacks now intended to dig through the disgusting blob to reach what was at its core.
