WEEK 3: April 15th - April 19th

[cartesio]

Third Week

The peaceful times are over. Moloch von Zinzer was murdered, and Nine was sentenced as his murderer. Everyone in Cartesio knows that.

Although life goes on, it seems the town of Cartesio isn't going to forget the tourists' transgressions. Not only they commited larceny in the cinema, they also murdered and executed in their town! It's no surprise their hospitality towards the visitors has cooled down considerably.

Not only they're maintaining a tense cordiality with them, they also have started talking behind the visitors' backs. All kinds of rumors are starting to sprout, yet nobody seems to be willing to say it to the tourists' faces. Talking directly to most passerby makes them distrustful, and nobody seems to want to be in close quarters alone with them.

It's only matter of time before the relationship between tourists and Cartesio starts degrading even further.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again.

Okay. I saw skirts earlier, but they were for women. Maybe...

[Kino starts walking in deeper, towards where the girl's section likely is, based on everything else.]

[clearities]

[ Sakura follows after her with a curious look in her eyes. ] Have you ever worn a skirt before, Kino-san? [ Just out of curiosity rather than judging. She's seen guys in dresses before. This is fine. ]

[quickpersuader]

[...That sure came out of nowhere. Kino turns to reply:]

Why do you ask?

[clearities]

I'm just curious... I don't mind if you have or if you haven't. [ She literally cannot judge. ]

[quickpersuader]

[Kino gives a thoughtful hum, turning to continue onwards.]

Skirts aren't really good for traveling in, especially by motorrad.

[clearities]

I see... it's okay, though! I think Kino-san should wear whatever you want to wear.

[quickpersuader]

I'm fine wearing what I do already. Though one time, I visited an interesting country...

[Aha, here's some skirts. They're about Sakura-sized too, which means they're also probably Kino-sized, but details.]

[clearities]

An interesting country? [ Sakura's own interests are perked, curiosity evident on her features. She does look through all of the skirts with what seems to be interest, however. ]

[quickpersuader]

Mm. It's a place that produced all kinds of fashion, so they constantly needed more models to show off their new styles. Any traveler who visited could be treated to an exquisite meal if they just modeled some clothes for their magazines.

It was a little strange, but I got a good meal out of it, so I can't complain too much.

[clearities]

What kinds of clothes did you end up wearing, Kino-san?

[quickpersuader]

Hmm... I'll try to describe it. There were brown shorts with suspenders, a white shirt with a bow, and a brown puffy hat... They told me it was supposed to look something like a detective, but I don't think I looked like one at all.

[clearities]

Ho~e... I think it probably looked really nice on you! But I don't think a detective wears that kind of thing? I think?

[quickpersuader]

Me neither. I've met with detectives before, and none of them wore clothes like that.

[A mystery.]

Well, maybe that's where the "fashion" part comes in.

[clearities]

You've met real detectives, Kino-san? What did they wear?

[quickpersuader]

Normal clothes?

[Kino thinks back.]

Usually they're dressed like the usual businessmen... A shirt and tie, things like that.

[clearities]

Really... that's pretty simple, but I guess that makes sense.

[quickpersuader]

Mmhmm. They have to investigate things, so it's better for them to wear normal clothes that don't stand out too much.

[Though speaking of-]

Find anything you like?

[clearities]

... Oh! [ She goes through the skirts once again, humming before she finds a pleated pink, knee-high one. ] What do you think?

[quickpersuader]

[Kino takes a step back to get a better look.]

Yeah, that should be good. It's very cute.

[clearities]

Then I'll get this! I'll have to get something that matches it, too.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino can't help but smile. It reminds a little of...]

Maybe a white top? Or something like that.

[clearities]

A white top, huh...

[ She peers around, eyes wandering to find where the tops are. ]

What about this? [ And she reveals this to Kino. ]

[quickpersuader]

[That gets a nod of approval.]

Yeah, something like that.

If you don't have a coat, you might want to get one of those, too. It's been chilly.

[clearities]

[ Score. She's taking that as well, then. Although she'll probably have to wash all of this by hand. ] I didn't come with a coat... [ Un... fortunate? But. Hm. A jacket. Sakura's going to eagerly search up for what seems to be one, and she actually finds a pink trench coat before beaming right back at Kino. ] Thank you for your help, Kino-san!

[quickpersuader]

[Lots of pink. That sure is nostalgic.]

It's no trouble. Those kinds of clothes really suit you.
