After losing Lelouch to Suzaku, Dahlia was left with 31 raks. That should be enough for some more upgrades. After class on Tuesday, she headed to Rakette.
Poking her head in the door cautiously, she called out, "Miss Recette?"
"Dahlia!" Recette had just finished rearranging stock by the time Dahlia arrived, so she was well-placed to smile and bob welcome to the older girl. "Good afternoon."
Whoa, the first one? Thank you! [ she takes it gladly. Her teeny fairy conscience isn't around to object. ] It really is great that you're taking part! It's way more fun that way.
"A Player?" That was surprising! But she was sure Dahlia could manage it. Whoops, she should say that out loud. "I'm sure you'll manage it! And then you'll earn loads of raks."
"I really hope so. I don't want to hurt anybody, but none of it's real, so..." She smiled slightly. "Ah, that reminds me -- I came to, er, buy some more upgrades for next time I'm a Weapon. I want to be the very best I can be, so..."
Twirling his parasol Kotaro skipped ahead of Nephenee through the town, he was going to the shop with her, because he had enough money for an upgrade for his weapon, so it would become awesome like his brothers!
He pushed open the door and grinned, "Hello miss Recette!" He called, the lady who owned the shop was really nice!
And Neph had just enough too, so it had been a dual purposed trip. She wondered absently what upgrades they would have as Kotaro ran ahead. She couldn't imagine what they could be, by any stretch of her imagination...besides Rafiel's, of course. At least Rafiel already had an upgrade, one that allowed her to use both of them at once. Which was handy, even if Rafiel's was just a ring.
Catching up to Kotaro, she looked at the spread as he spoke. Wow...so much stuff...
"It is? Glee!" She'd been a little worried that people wouldn't like them but it looked like PDAs were a hit. Maybe she should discount them again soon. "Y'mean power rings? They're fifteen raks each."
Kotaro didn't know what a PDA was, but it was probably a boring adult thing. He nodded, "I have fifteen raks!" He took off his rucksack and started counting money, he understood how it works now.
"Nephenee owns me this round so she can buy things for me right?"
