April, 2010
As Faust wakes, he becomes aware that his head is resting on something warm and soft. He tries to sit up, but is wracked with pain.
"Easy there. You've had a rough night." A woman's voice.
"I remember drinking, and... was I in a fight?"
"Oh yeah," the woman laughs. "You were in a fight."
Faust groans. "I must have picked the wrong side."
"Nah, you did good. Just look where you ended up!"
Faust opens his eyes. Above him, a woman's face is framed by short green hair. Her features seem pale compared to the dark sky, but he decides that is probably because of the moonlight. Then realizes that his head is resting in her lap, and blushes.
The woman laughs. "Now that's a good reaction! I don't regret doing this at all!"
"What did you do?"
"I kidnapped you. It's better than waking up in jail, right?"
"Kidnapped!" Faust looks around, but realizes that the two of them are on a bench in a park. When he tries to sit up this time, it is much less painful. Now that they're both sitting, Faust can tell that he is taller than the woman, who is still chuckling.
"Who are you?"
"Akimoto Madoka. I'm an artist and a confectioner."
"Is kidnapping strange men a hobby of yours?"
"Only when they impress me. How about you?"
"Eguchi Koushirou, but my friends call me Faust. My hobby is catching and taking care of large beetles."
"I've dated stranger," Madoka says, her green eyes glittering in the moonlight. "Wanna get dinner?"
