I'm going to occasionally do these 'Quick-Burst' chapters – basically, these are for *particularly* short mainly-dialogue bits that have less context than what I usually do for the Shin Nihon Shitposts.
They're also bound to be slightly more shitposty/less polished than the 'normal' chapters.


Pot, Meet Kettle

Luong smirked teasingly. "Don't you have better things to do than try to swoop in on a married woman?"

"Don't you have better things to do than try to get into a married dude's pants?" retorted Ramon.

Luong giggled back. "Well, at least I have a chance at actually succeeding..."

The aura of such a smug seductress frustrated 'The Tiger' to no end.


Sometimes You Need TWO WOMEN

"Is there a problem, Blue?" asked Mai, having noticed Mary approaching.

"I've been getting complaints around Southtown about flyers being left all over the town – is this your doing by any chance?"

Mary held up a piece of paper that had a clear mission statement: 'Sometimes you just need... TWO WOMEN'. Mai and Yuri's pictures right beneath completely sealed away any chance of them dumping responsibility onto someone else.

Mai blushed awkwardly.
"Oh. I guess there's no saying 'No', huh?"

"Mai, you can't just go out into public and dump this self-promotion all over the place. You're better off with internet want-ads – even then, it's not gonna always work.

"...Buuuut does that mean—"

"No. I'm already on another team. Sorry girls, you gotta try harder..."

Once Mary had left their eyesight, Mai turned around and bonked Yuri upside the head.

"I told you we printed too many of these, Yuri...!"
"I thought more of these would have more people noticing!"

Kula's Poor Choice of Words

Once again, the K' Team was geared up for another year of snuffing out the underlying threats as part of being military-adjacent mercenaries – and Maxima wound up having the spotlight to give the anti-NESTS collective a needed pep-talk for what was regularly kind of a standard mission ahead.

"Win or lose the tournament, it doesn't matter," he said. "As long as no one tries anything against us, we'll get the job done like always..."

"Yay, hurray for sugar-daddy!"
And then one simple proclamation from Kula sent the whole group into silence.

A silence broken by Diana's sword unsheathing. "What – the fuck – did she just call you?"
Meanwhile, K' simply facepalmed. "Goddammit, Kula..."

Cue Maxima having to rocket-boost away from a now-scorned 'rapier-mommy'.
"It's not what you think! She keeps begging me to buy her sweets!"

On that day, Kula learned some things about 'phrasing'.


I think doing 'chapters' like this from time to time will help me since I tend to think of specific scenes/scenarios/dialogue pieces that I end up having trouble trying to spin into a full story, let alone a chapter here with less than 1k-words.
