Chapter 2: Flirtatious Failure
After escaping that farce, Ashi then sighs with relief when he realized he finally made it to Ammo Knights. He entered the store without much hesitation. As he arrived In front of the counter he saw a tan skinned pink inkling boy sporting a White Headband (for his hat), Orange Cardigans (for his top) and Black Seahorses (for his shoes) curiously browsing the displays up front.
"K-Kenny? Is that you?"
"Oh Hiyah! Ashi my boy!" He was in fact Kenny all along. Ashi on the other hand was surprised to see him as well.
Kenny wrapped his arm around his shoulder and asked "So you buying some guns?"
" Nah, Just grabbing a weapon I ordered yesterday."
"Cool. What might that be?"
Ashi shrugged with a smirk "An Octobrush...?"
Kenny gasped in shock and exclaims "Hipster!" as he pointed at him.
"Whuuh?"
"And geez bud another brush type? Why don't you try something new like..." Since Kenny was in the store awhile ago, he had been busy browsing the new guns in store. Particularly the gatling type of armaments since these are his favorite after all "(゜ロ゜) OH! What about that Zink Mini Splatling instead? I know I would."
The store owner Sheldon popped out from behind the counter and interjected him with an unwavering polite smile "Hey that's my job yes?" Sheldon isn't the type to share a frown. Never have they seen him express a grimace at all. You can say that customer courtesy is genuinely part of his character.
"Oh! Hi Sheldon..." Kenny rubbed the back of his head sheepishly "hehe Sorry."
"Oh hello! You must be Ashi, I got your OctoBrush right here." Sheldon said as he handed out the weapon with the compatible inktube to him.
"Thats going to be tricky using that." Kenny said, cupping his chin quizzically "I mean what's so different with that to your old brush?"
"Hehe well...You see...Had it been my Inkbrush, the recent events I've encountered using it during matches became rather...Awkward." Ashi closed his eyes briefly as he stifles the blush slowly creeping out.
There was one time; when he was in the middle of a match using his old Inkbrush and since he's got that, his main strategy to splatting opponents is to trap, Hide in his ink, Trap them in his ink then go for a surprise attack. That's always been his thing since his main is a brush type.
Soon, there's not a match that goes by without having at least one embarrassing incident during one of his surprise attacks. One time: Ashi was ready to splat his trapped opponent but suddenly he miscalculated his timing. Hence he happened to reach out from under the ink his hiding from and soon found out that his head was under the crotch of his opponent.
What's worse is, his opponent was actually a girl and on top of that he noticed she was all commando down there seeing that she's only wearing a skirt. Perhaps having underwear restricts her movements? From then and there, He was awestruck and afterwards he was then physically struck with a fierce slap on his face.
Henceforth, Ashi was determined to earn his way to finally buy the Octobrush. A better alternative to his previous one. Albeit it has slower swings but the key feature here is that it has longer range and it gives him more distance and possibly mitigate those bashful incidents from happening ever again.
"What do you mean?" Kenny asked unaware of Ashi's flustered reaction.
"Its..ITS NOTHING! 《゚Д゚》" Ashi exclaimed while shaking his head vigorously as if reality had snapped back to him.
"Haha Whatever forget about it. I bet you're going to try that out in the field next huh?"
"Yep!"
"Mind if I tag along?"
"I don't mind at all."
"Alright'y then! Hey wanna go grab a bite to eat first? I'm hungry."
"Maybe a soda would hit the spot."
"That's the spirit lets go."
"Good luck to the both of you! And make sure to put my babies to good use." said Sheldon as he waved the inklings goodbye.
The boys waved back in return "Okay!~ Thanks Sheldon."
.

Both inklings ensconced themselves into a small time cafe nearby. There were a couple vacant tables located outside the establishment wherein both of the boys gladly took one of each seat. Shortly after, Kenny beckons for a waitress in sight.
The waitress from earlier walked up to them, Her long adult tentacles were green and tied into a topknot fashion and was wearing a black and white waitress uniform with a red beret like hat on her head.
The waitress politely smiled and gave a welcoming greeting at the two. She took out a notebook from her pocket and asks energetically "What would you like on this squidtastic day"
Kenny glanced at the menu which was already placed on the table "I would like the Krabby Patty please? OH! And some prawn chips on the side."
"What about you sir?" she raised an eyebrow when she noticed him looking a bit lost in his thoughts lately, gazing at the plaza and the inklings around. Shaking his head to the rhythm of the faint mellow beat being played out around Booyah base.
"Sir?"
"OH! WHAT!? ᗝ Oh Yeah Ummm...Thi..This One!... Uhh I'd like a kelp soda please?"
"Good choice sir! Hold on to your tentacles It'll be ready with you in just a few minutes." The waitress trotted back to the counter leaving the two boys in waiting.
Kenny also noticed Ashi gazing blankly recently. With a curious smile he asks "What's got you so distracted lately?"
"Nothing really..."
"Nothing really? Really now?"
Kenny waited a few seconds for a reply, but felt impatient and said "You sure are broody today."
"No its not that."
"You thinking about a girl, aren't ya?" Kenny pointed as he chuckled.
"Whuuuuuh? NO!" Ashi crossed his arms and looked away sheepishly.
Kenny grins "Whaaat, We're friends here, come on tell me about it." he rested his arms on the table as he eagerly leaned in closer in anticipation.
"No! (ಠ ∩ಠ) Got no girl in mind seriously."
Kenny leaned back into his seat with a smug grin "Well if you do need some help with them though, I'm always here to give you some tips."
"You, tips? Oh please." Ashi's smile slowly returns to his face.
Meanwhile, two inkling girls were walking outside of the Cafe engrossed in their own confabulation. One was dark the other was pale. The latter was a pink haired inkling wearing a Squid Nordic, Green Zip Hoodie and Blue Moto Boots, while the former, a blue haired inkling was wearing a short beanie, ivory peaks tee and blue sea slugs.
This caught Kenny's attention. Obliging him to look back at his friend and says "Ashi, my boy. Its time to show you what I can do." Kenny fixed his cardigan collars then stood up from his seat and walked in a proud gait towards the two inkling girls.
Ashi rolled his eyes "Oh boy."
"Hey you two!" Kenny rudely interrupted their conversation as the two girls looked back at him with raised eyebrows and an irritated mien.
The blue inkling girl replies with "Yeah, what is it?"
"Ahem so ladies." Kenny shifts his intonation to what he thinks is his super manly voice "What's up?"
The blue inkling girl answered in an awkwardly confused tone "We're fine? I guess?"
"Speaking of fine...I say! I like the way you shake your tail."
The blue inkling girl got even more confused "What?" She curiously patted her tentacles to see whats what.
"If this Cafe had only two orders on the menu, it would be Me-n-u!"
The pink inkling girl gets up and whispers to her friend. While Kenny on the other hand seems to be pretty distracted with his own ramblings.
"If I ever get caught in your ink, I'd swim in it instead."
Both girls raised their eyebrows in suspicion.
"When you miss a spot I'll help you ink up your territory."
"Umm...What are you-"
"If we get to fight in a match, I'll let you splat me anytime." Kenny winks at her lecherously.
Shocked, both girls finally understood his intentions. Both of them concurrently emitted a dark shade of red on their cheeks. The pink inkling girl in particular, gasps and immediately gave Kenny a hard solid slap in the face, Knocking him down. Afterwards, both turned away and huffed in unison.
"Come on Mandy lets go." The pink inkling turned to face her friend as she pulled her away from a dazed Kenny.
Meanwhile the waitress was now walking over to Ashi holding their orders on a plate. Placing it down she noticed the situation going outside and asked Ashi
"What's your friend doing out there?"
Ashi replies knowingly "Oh him just being him."
"Alright'y then. If you like anything else just holla." The waitress gave a warm smile and trotted back once again towards the counter.
Despite Kenny downfall, he gets up and spoke "Mandy, huh?..."
As Kenny was rubbing the reddish hue of his cheeks he turns up and says one final statement "You seem like a nice girl. I bet you like whales because I was thinking that we could humpback at my place?"
One of the two girls who are currently walking away couldn't tolerate any more of his nonsense making her turn back towards him just to merely give a swift kick to Kenny's abdominal wall. Kenny winced in pain, shutting him up for good.
Ashi pinched his forehead in frustration after the fiasco Kenny ended up in. Ashi opted to leave the food for a while as he went for Kenny's aid albeit he didn't want to initially.
Ashi kneeled down towards kenny reaching out a helping hand. "That was pathetic." Ashi snickered.
Kenny clutched Ashi's hand and stood up groggily. "Ahh~ shut up." rubbing the pain off his stomach.
"Did that hurt?"
"Oh no, I wouldn't be down here in the first place." Kenny said sarcastically.
"Were you trying to fish for compliments?" Ashi scoffed with a smug grin.
"I wasn't...Hey! Says the guy who doesn't know a thing or two about girls."
"Whaaaaat? No...Well I...No!" Ashi stammered, His mind intermittently bounced back suddenly to the circumstances he had encountered with girls in the past.
Kenny admitted. "Luckily she didn't kick off any food I had in me, otherwise that would've gotten really embarrassing."
"Speaking of leftovers, our food is getting cold and my soda's getting warm."
"Alright, alright hold your tentacles. I'm coming."
Both inkling boys finally sat down at their respective seats and continued to eat the food they had ordered. Afterwards, Kenny nobly paid the orders for the both of them.
"Ahhhh that was good." Kenny leaned back in his chair, satiated.
"Feeling better now?"
"Yep! Food is the squids medicine to cope with rejection as they always say." he said laughing as he rubs his belly full of food.
Ashi chuckled half heartedly. " Yeah."
As Ashi was glancing outside, he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. Three familiar figures were strolling towards the cafe. those three figures were actually the three schoolgirl inklings he had met awhile ago.
Kenny noticed Ashi slightly panicking with himself and followed his gaze. Once he saw what he saw, his eyes slowly widened at the sight of the three inklings making his mouth fall agape.
Kenny's attention though were fixated at one of them which was the voluptuous orange haired inkling. Contrary to Ashi, his own heart started beating rapidly, he was lost in reverie. Every feature of the orange haired inkling sparkled in magnificence under the sunlight in slow motion, proliferating her attractive levels.
Kenny smiled and deeply sighed making Ashi snapping him back from his panicked state.
"I think we should go." Ashi stated.
Kenny however was distracted with himself, ignoring him and instead said. "This is going to get interesting." Kenny's smile grew even wider.
