The three females walked alongside the rigged sidewalk. Hattori's wheelchair was seemingly having trouble rolling along the bumps and straddles of the pavement which made reishi a tad bit frustrated.

-And Pushing hattori's wheelchair was a bit hard as it seemed she was heavier than usual to top it off.

Reishi: Hattori, Is there something under your chair? I swear you aren't this heavy…!

Hattori: Yeah. I think I stole a couple of food trays from the cafeteria and hid them under my wheelchair.

Shima: What? Why would you do that?

Hattori: teehee! I don't know!

Reishi: what do you mean, you don't know?

Hattori: *Shrugs* well to be honest i'm a bit 'loopy' because of all the brain damage I suffered!

Reishi: Brain damage?

Hattori: Yup! Doctor says i'll never have an IQ over 120 ever in my life now!

Shima: To be fair, I don't think you would have accomplished that even without the brain damage.

Reishi: Shima!

Shima: S-Sorry…

Hattori: -I can't remember most things now and sometimes I even have episodes of mania!

She excitedly said.

Reishi: M-Mania…?

Hattori: Yup! It means that I do stuff without reason. So that's the explanation for the trays!

Shima: You seem excited for someone for someone whose going through mental and physical trauma…

Hattori: That's because I get to have you two sexy boys… er, girls to take care of me!

Shima: Hattori…. I think you rely on us way too much.

Hattori: You think so?

Reishi: Yeah, I agree with shima. After you get out of this wheelchair, I want you to develop some sort of independence.

Reishi stated.

Hattori: *Sigh* Fine.

She reluctantly agreed.

Shima: Anyway, I think we're here.

The restaurant in front of them was a neat place. It was shaped like an old japanese palace with it's monochromal levels and shape. The place had several lanterns on the side of it and was of a general upper-class feel. The restaurant is called "Sachi's Palace."

Shima: Well, Let's get our grub on!

Shima exclaimed.

Reishi: Y-Yeah.

For some reason, Reishi got a bad vibe from this restaurant…. But regardless she wanted to enjoy herself on her birthday, so she pressed on.

Sachi's Palace

The restaurant looked gorgeous on the inside. It had several miniature waterfalls and 13th century Kamakura period art. Reishi looked up and saw several gold lanterns and bronze orientals hanging the ceiling, It was a sign of the owner's wealth and prestige.

It was truly an upper class joint.

They had already ordered their food and were now waiting for some scrumptious delights.

Although,There was a bit of an awkward silence between the three as they had nothing much to talk about.

Hattori: Hmmm…? Did you say something, Shima?

Shima: Huh? No.

Hattori: Oh. Guess it was just the voices in my head! Hehe!

Another silence went by…

Hattori: Senpai… Did your hair just turn red?

Reishi: No, Hattori…

Hattori: Oh. Guess I'm just hallucinating.

Reishi: ( I'm starting to think that we shouldn't have taken her out of the hospital.)

She thought to herself. Seeing Hattori in this state made her hate the shadowmancers even more.

Hattori: Guys…. I have to use the bathroom.

Shima: Ok. Go to the bathroom.

Hattori: I can't go alone silly! I need someone to help me, you know… get on the toilet and help me get back in my wheelchair when I'm done.

Reishi: ….

Shima: ….

Reishi and shima looked at each other. They both released hattori had a point and that one of them would have to go with her to the bathroom.

Reishi: I pushed her all the way here. Do you know how heavy she is?

Shima: I bought her muffins while she was in the hospital! - And not the cheap kind either! They were very expensive!

Reishi: I let her touch my stomach! Do you know how perverted that was?

Shima: *Pssh* Touching your stomach is nothing! That girl slaps my butt every day!

Reishi: That has nothing to do with her hospitalization!

Reishi sighed.

Hattori: Sheesh, Just play a game of rock, paper, scissors!

Hattori suggested.

Reishi: ….

Shima: ….

Reishi: - That's actually not a bad idea.

Shima: Yeah. It's a bit kiddie but at least it'll be fair.

Shima agreed.

Reishi: Ok then. On the count of three.

Reishi: 1…..2….3!

Both of the girls threw our their hands in rapid succession. Shima had thrown out paper while reishi had thrown out scissors.

Shima: Dammit!

Hattori: Hehe.

Reishi: Sorry shima…..

Shima sighed and grabbed the handles of hattori's wheelchair.

Shima: Hattori, You better just be peeing!

Hattori: Don't worry shima. I'm just peeing…. Teehee~

Shima: That "Teehee." Doesn't give me much confidence…

Shima shook her head and pushed hattori's wheelchair to the bathroom. Reishi was left alone with just her thoughts and the hairs on her head.

Girl: Hello ma'am. Can I have a moment of your time?

A curvaceous girl approached reishi. She was wearing a White leather jacket with jeans that barely could fit her huge backside which protruded out from her hourglass figure.

Reishi: Listen, If you're trying to convert me to New astianism I'm not interested.

Girl: Oh no no. I'm not one of those religious quacks.

Reishi: Oh sorry. what do you want then?

Girl: I'm looking for my brother's dog. Have you seen him?

The girl gave reishi a pamphlet. On it was a crude drawing of a large white dog with red eyes.

Reishi: Uhh… I don't think I've seen this dog.

Girl: *Sigh* The wild goose chase continues…

She said with a reluctant voice.

Reishi: When was the last time you saw him?

Girl: Me and my brother were at the carnival when he suddenly ran off! I think he smelled some meat or something!

The girl sighed.

Reishi: Ok, What's his name? I'm pretty familiar with all the stray dogs in the area.

Girl: Wick.

Reishi: Wick...Wick…

Reishi thought closely but she couldn't remember any stray dog that responded to that name.

Reishi: Sorry. I don't think any of the dogs that respond to that name.

Girl: Oh…. Sorry to bother you then.

Reishi: It's no problem. I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Girl: *Sigh* It's quite alright.

The girl walked away from the table and asked the other patrons around the restaurant. Her huge butt jiggled while she did, which did enamor the other patrons, but did not give her any clues to the where about her canine.

Reishi: I hope she can find her dog.

Reishi wished for best for the girl and her lost dog.

Waiter: Gomenasai. Sorry for the wait.

The waiter approached the table with everyone's food.

Shima had ordered Yakitori which was a sort of, fried and battered chicken which served on a stick.

Hattori had ordered japanese onion soup. She specifically asked for the chef to put cinnamon in her soup to make it specifically taste bad. Reishi had only ordered a small Osozai salad, which permeated her nose with the smell of mushrooms and kale leafs.

Waiter: Enjoy!

The waiter winked and left.

Shima: Goddammit Hattori! You said you were only going to pee!

Hattori: *Giggle* Sorry! Sometimes I don't know what's inside of me~

Shima and hattori returned from their bathroom excursion. Shima looked notably pissed while hattori was smiling.

Hattori: Oh cool, our food came!

Hattori Pointed out.

Shima: Ugh…. I think I lost my appetite.

Shima relayed as she sat down.

Hattori: Suit yourself!

Hattori began to slurp up her noodles like she was a dog.

Hattori: *Slurp* Senpai.. I can't believe that you'll be legal in another year!

Reishi: ...Way to make it weird, hattori.

Hattori: I'm Serious! You'll be an adult soon! -And that means we can get married!

Reishi: Hattori For the last time, I won't marry you!

Hattori: Why not?

Reishi: I don't want to get married in the first place.

Hattori: Why wouldn't you, Senpai? Marriage is a divine blessing from the gods!

Reishi: I don't know… I just see marriage as kind of pointless. I mean, if you love someone…. Isn't that enough? Why do you have to have this huge ceremony and "Tie the knot." It just seems unnecessary.

Reishi explained.

Shima: Preach. If I ever fell in love with someone I think I'd just keep them around as a lab experimentee.

Reishi: ….

Hattori: …..

Reishi and hattori looked at shima with a perplexed look.

Shima: What? Science first, Love second.

Reishi: Regardless, I don't really like girls like that anyway.

Hattori began to start slurping her noodles again until she stopped and belched.

Hattori: Hey! Noodles are straight too, Until you get them wet.

Reishi: …

Shima: ….

Hattori: Ok, Maybe that was too far.

Reishi: ...Well, Even if I was going to get married I wouldn't marry youBecause you're essentially my stalker and pervert.

Hattori: Teehee~ Well, That doesn't matter to me. Stalking and perving are in my family!

Reishi: Do I dare ask what you mean by that?

Hattori: Well, My daddy use to stalk my mommy before they got married! Daddy use to ask her to go out with him multiple times! -And each time he got rejected! So he began to stalk and perv on her until she gave up and married him out of pity.

Shima: *Bites Yakitori* That sounds like extortion….

Hattori: -So that's I'm not giving up on you senpai! I'll keep asking you to marry me until you give in! -Just like mommy!

Reishi: Heh. Keep dreaming hattori.

The three laughed. Time passed effortlessly as the three spent time celebrating Reishi's Birthday. Their hope was rejuvenated with every second that they spent together. It was truly was a blissful time.
