Scene - Nanashi's training options after the first fight with Zenya.
"Nanashi, what do you think?" asked Yuto innocuously, "Which training method seems best to you?"
Nanashi surveyed the room, focusing in particular on the three stares being sent his way by Shizuku, Tohko, and Ms. Kasugai. "Uh, well, why just pick only one option? I mean, it's not like this is a dating sim where choosing one method over the others raises a flag, right?"
"Dude, are you serious?" exclaimed Kaito before anyone else could get a word in. "That is EXACTLY what this situation is! You have three ladies advocating three options, this is your chance to get ahead with one of 'em! Don't squander the opportunity!"
Sighs and facepalms went round the Freedom Fighters, Tohko going so far as to hit the back of Kaito's head, much to his annoyance.
"You bring up a good point, Nanashi," continued Yuto, ignoring his brother's outburst. "There's really not much point to confining yourself to a single path if you don't have to."
"A fair solution," added Shizuku quietly.
"Yeah, this is probably the most sense you've made all day," said Tohko. She chuckled. "And here I thought you were a lost cause."
"Gee thanks…" replied Nanashi blandly.
"Hm, hm, hm… I suppose we can always look at this as a 'natural enhancement versus artificial enhancement' case study," mused Ms. Kasugai with a ponderous hum.
"Well alright then!" said Pops encouragingly. "Looks like you're gonna be on a really long trainin' montage for the foreseeable future."
"Okay, let's do it!" exclaimed Tohko, excited at the prospect of doing something outside MOGRA that wasn't patrolling or college related. "Let's head to the battle arena and start a workout!" She turned to the others. "Anyone else want in?"
"Nah, I'm good," responded Kaito predictably, "Someone's gotta patrol while you guys are gone." He slung his backpack over a shoulder as he turned to leave. "I'm gonna head out to Main Street, maybe get a figure or two. See ya!"
Yuto sighed. "I guess I should go with him, if only to make sure he doesn't spend all his food money. I'll see you later. Hope everything turns out!"
"Oh, oh!" exclaimed Kati, " I shall see if the little sister wishes to join me in patrolling the plaza!" The blonde maid quickly disappeared into the back room. "Oh little sister~!" came her voice as the door closed behind her.
Tohko shrugged. "Shizuku? You in?"
"Yes," agreed Shizuku, "The battle arena is the perfect location for expanding Nanashi's mind, so I can work on that with him afterwards."
"As much as I'd like to join," interjected Ms. Kasugai, "I'll have to meet up with you later. I need to swing by one of Daishihon's facilities and pick up the latest formula. Ta-ta for now though!" she called as she exited.
Nanashi shrugged. "Shall we?"
Tohko grinned. "Let's do it!"
