>>5236532The nice mother heeds your call. You ask for the list of ingredients you assume you’ll need to cook this kind of crap, even adding some spices and seasonings you feel like you’re going to need to salvage it. Before you could even discuss payment, Annette gets her right on the job and hangs up! But not without warning you it’s going to be difficult to find everything due to the time of day! She knows where you are at least, so it’s a waiting game now.
Somehow, Annette arrives first on a bicycle, carrying your stuff in heavy plastic bags on the back!
“There you’re, Phi—…!” Annette freezes upon seeing you. Probably misses your stupidly long hoodie and this outfit is not her type.
“A-Annette, are you all right…?” You had to approach because the bike was about to drop sideways.
“<span class="mu-i">I’m more than fine…</span>” Annette swoons.
“A-Are you? You look like you have a fever.” You put your hand on her forehead.
“I-I’m good! I’m good! See?” Annette puts her hands on top of yours, and carefully caresses it. “Uff, I didn’t expect you to call me this late! It’s like, <span class="mu-i">wow![/I] My mind started racing like an engine! Like takataka, choo choo! Totally getting the wrong idea. But I should’ve known it was about groceries! Silly me! Why else would a stallion like you would call me during the middle of the night? I mean it doesn’t have to be the wrong idea, right? Right! But yeah, here’s what you want! And maybe more!” Annette hands you all the plastic bags.
“More?” You raise an eyebrow.
“You know! More! Like, you know! More! More as in extra!” Annette is getting embarrassed but keeps acting excited.
<span class="mu-s">How do you respond?</span>
>“Annette, calm down.” Grab her hands to ease whatever worries she has!>“Annette, I don’t have a way to pay except for what I have here… Do you mind if we owe you the rest for a day or two?” Hand Kobashi’s money to Annette. You didn’t get to pay for the restaurant meal, so it’ll become the first payment to its destruction!>“Annette, you didn’t hear me on the phone, but I need to come clean: I don’t have any money right now. But I’ll be working on a Food Cart here! I know I’m asking for a lot, but I’d like to pay for this by making you one of the biggest shareholders of it! Think of this as an investment!” You’ll gain so much profit to pay her with!>“Annette, I don’t get it.” What more could she possibly give that you want?!>Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)</span>
