There's one silly reason and a more serious one for today's prompt. I'll get the silly one out of the way now, so that you can focus on the serious stuff later on.
Basically, I've had a conversation with overthemoonday after she noticed my dislike for character-specific prompts. As an advocate for "vaguely character-specific" prompts – i.e. prompts that are significantly easier to do if you like a specific character very much, but don't exclude those who do not – in lieu of the very character-specific ones we have right now, I got the idea to feature both Sherry and Ushio in a prompt I term "baguettes vs cops", as both of them play a pretty major minor role.
Let's have a Baguette Day and a Cop Day in 5D's month 2021!

They were alone.
Aki, Sherry, and a black taxi driver.
On the other side of the barricade were 300 policemen armed with semi-automatic rifles and tanks. Meanwhile all they had was an old baguette and a copy of "Blue Eyes White Dragon".
It was a wonder, that they held out that long. It was also thanks to the other black people behind other barricades, that the tanks were focusing their fire on. They claimed their lives to matter, and as a result a plan was formed to end them before their impact was too great.
But then Sherry spotted another card in the dirt. It was "Megamorph". She picked it up.
"Did you find something?"
Sherry turned her head to Aki and revealed the card. "It's time for Operation: French Protest – 'A tank is just a big car'."
"I'm pretty sure it's an entirely different kind of vehicle… oh. Oh!"

It took some while for Aki to understand Sherry's genius plan, but it turned out to be quite a simple one in the end.
Step 1: Summon "Blue Eyes White Dragon".
Step 2: Equip it with "Megamorph".
Step 3: ?
Step 4: Profit.
Indeed, tanks were just big cars. Once ignited, they burned just as beautifully, and the ammo provided a magnificent fuel for explosions. Now she was the one deciding over life and death. As a doctor she had sworn to never make use of such power to cause harm.

"You did the right thing." Sherry woke Aki up. The walls around her were white, as were the coats of the people, who weren't Sherry. A hospital? "A policeman shot you once he noticed that you stopped being a threat. He fortunately missed your vitals."
Sherry was still carrying that baguette with her, it now had a hole in it. Did she perhaps redirect that shot with bread? French protests must be even more insane than the things they've seen that day, if that's where she learned such a trick. Was it even possible for something to be this insane?
Pain kicked in, telling her just where exactly in her abdomen the bullet landed. Whatever Sherry did with that baguette, it was surely a gamble. No human could possibly have made a calculated effort to land a bullet so close to her organs. But she was still clinging to it, so perhaps she believed, that she really did change the outcome. "So, this is the bread, that saved me?"
"Hardly," Sherry admitted the cold truth, "you should thank the doctors for that. All I did when I saw him aim at you was panic." She picked out a cardboard box – the kind, that is usually used for pizza – from the bed next to Aki's. "He was a delivery guy, caught up in this by accident and the colour of his skin. Just like our taxi driver." The box had two holes in it. "He passed away not an hour ago. Shot by the same policeman."

As a doctor Aki had sworn to do her best in order to save lives.
As a doctor she realized, that her best was not enough that day.

So yeah, I wanted to end on a note of "be gay, do crime" as well as "support BLM protests". I hope that's not too political for y'all.

Now for the results of the maid poll. One of you is brave enough to voice their enjoyment of anime. I salute you. One of you really likes French maids, oh là là. And the rest is uncultured and has no taste. Just kidding, love y'all.
