[u][b]???[/b][/u]

"Mmmn... huh?"

"...Oh!"

"This is...?"

"...Ah. I... see."

"I guess I should go and meet with the others, then...?"

"..."

"Well, no use to think it over so much! I'll try and get along with everyone today."

"I hope they won't be [i]too[/i] surprised."[hr]The door to Taka's cabin opened as a figure stepped out, clad in a moderate skirt and light blouse. Their beige hair fell freely down to the waist as the figure put their finger to the slightly lipsticked mouth, curiously inspecting their surroundings. While they looked rather masculine the day prior, this time around a small, delicate and feminine frame went out to greet the world. It also helped that there were two clear [i]assets[/i] on that person's chest.

[u][b]Taka[/b][/u] had become [u][b]Taya[/b][/u].

She put on a smile and hopped off her doorstep, though still made sure to lock the cabin behind her. Taya skipped along the dirt path, admiring the fresh morning air. She didn't see anyone leave in the immediate area, so Taya figured they must've gone ahead and grabbed breakfast already.

"Hmhmhm~!"

The girl hummed to herself as she strolled down the road. She was kind of glad the ground wasn't muddy- the pumps on her feet would be absolutely [i]ruined[/i] if it was. If it weren't for the giant fence around the perimeter of the camp, it the scenery might've been serene... but that wasn't something Taya needed to concern herself with for now. Moving her eyes away from the surroundings and back to the objective down the road, she soon spotted two figures off in the distance.

"Yukimori and Dawnray..." Taya mumbled to herself, watching on as the white-haired one of the duo excused herself and rushed inside. The cross-dresser cheerfully waved at Flare from a short distance, but slipped into the building without disturbing her taking care of the animals.

Inside of the mess hall a few people were already assembled. Taya had seen Yukimori earlier- so it wasn't much of a surprise to see her. Aurel and Izo were also there, one ducking into the kitchen while the other had returned from it with a plate of food in hand. On the tables were plates with sandwiches- some having already been swept away while others rested patiently, waiting to be eaten. At one of the tables, Ayu was seated alone. She was staring silently at the sandwich in her hand, which hadn't even been bitten into yet. Momoe was leaning against the wall opposite of the entrance, staring down any who came through. It didn't look like she'd touched any of the food. Taya took a deep breath.

"Good morning, everyone~!"

Any who'd talked to Taka yesterday would recognize Taya's face, but her voice was completely different. She could see that Momoe raised an eyebrow, but didn't the scruffy girl didn't comment on it. Taya watched Izo sit down not far from her and decided to join him. After all- there was a plate with a freshly made sandwich laying there!

"Mind if I join you, Saitou?"

Taya spoke in a polite manner, with a smile and a bow, before sitting opposite to the boy. She clasped her hands when getting to see Flare's handiwork from up close- these little things were cute!

"Aaah, these are so [i]lovely~![/i] Don't you agree, Saitou?"

Taya quickly swept up the sandwich from her plate and took a delighted bite. It was almost scary how cheerful and high-spirted she was about this whole thing.
