“I don’t believe in coincidences anymore, Johnny.” B-WORM softly taps his counter with a smile on his face. “And if anything, *when* you’re in a pinch again, don’t hesitate to bring me along.”
“Trust me, I keep tabs on everyone.” You get cheeky.
“Message received. I’ll be more proactive.” B-WORM won’t wait for the opportunity to present itself.
“Hey! My sweet Johnny! You need your own uniform!” Vera approaches from the back of the store with a change of clothes for you. Liu and Lydie are ready in their own uniforms.
“Don’t I look stellar, my dear trophy?” Lydie shows her fit with pride! You nod rapidly.
“A-Aren’t these smaller than the regular ones?” Liu notices her attire doesn’t have the stupidly long skirt…
“Thanks, everyone. I’ll go change in the back.” You grab the clothes and beeline to the changing room.
You change to this new (and uncomfortable) uniform! It isn’t as sleek as your usual one, but it’ll do for today. During your wardrobe change, you heard a loud thud coming from the front. You rush out to learn what happened!
...At the front of the store, there’s a bunch of unconscious hooligans on the ground. Not that many, just 3. But they’re *out*!
“What happened?” It didn’t even take you a minute to return!
“W-Woah…! Mr. Worm took all of these thugs out!” Liu is hiding behind Vera and Lydie.
“It all happened in the blink of an eye! They wanted to cause trouble, then in a second, wham, dirt for breakfast!” Lydie explains too.
“We’re all good, by the way. They barely set foot inside the store.” Vera adds. “I was ready to take them down myself…” She grumbles.
“I told you that I’ll be fine.” B-WORM didn’t even break a sweet. “Go about your day, and be careful.”
“I already paid.” Lydie winks.
“Then we’ll be going, it was nice seeing you again.” You nod. “One day, we should hang out again.”
“I’m looking forward to it.” B-WORM poses.
“Got his number…” Vera is increasing her potential minion list. “Let’s go to school! We have no time left to kill!”
“Y-Yes! Let’s hurry! I don’t want to be late!” Liu gets anxious! “Bye, Mr. Worm!”
“See ya, Crazy Arms!” Lydie does the B-WORM pose back!
Your clothes are itchy, but you’re no Amelia, so you’re not going to complain loudly about it.
