14: No Kind Favor Goes Unreturned [Text + Action]

[Text]

Thank you to everyone who decided to contribute to paying Miki's fine. To my surprise, Gilgamesh has agreed to pay it in full himself. It wouldn't be right to keep this money, so if you did donate, please come over to my room so I can return it to you. Again, thank you all for helping.

[Text; filtered to Gilgamesh]

Again, thank you for helping out. If there is anyway I can repay you for this, please let me know. It's the very least I can do.

[Action]

[Anyone who comes to room 102, Saori will be waiting with your money in envelope addressed to you plus a bag of homemade madeleines.]

That was really nice of him.

It was. I was very surprised he actually went out of his way to do this.

He does nice things like that sometimes. Maybe he wanted you to keep it a secret, though.

Strange, he never told me he wanted to me to keep this a secret. Still, if I didn't give people an explanation as to why I'm returning their donations, it would come off as rude.

But he always acts like it's a big secret when he gives me gifts or makes me feel better. I wonder why it's different now.

He does?

Okay now I'm officially worried now that you mentioned that.

Uh-huh. Even though he's really nice, he doesn't want me to say it or hug him or anything.

I didn't want you to worry, though...

How interesting to hear that.

Well, it's mostly because I sent him a message saying I'll do anything he wants as a way to thank him for his help. Since you mentioned he'd rather have his charitable acts kept secret, I think I just screwed myself over.

He might take advantage of that, but I'm sure he won't do anything too bad.

No, knowing him he will. We're not exactly on good terms to begin with. Which was why I was suspicious about this sudden act of charity.

I don't think it'll be too bad. It was his choice, and even though you should repay him some for it, there are still things you can refuse to do.

You do have a point. I just don't want him to involve any more people as it is. Things get even more complicated when that happens.

I'll stay away.

Any way, hm?

I am a woman of my word. Ten thousand is a huge amount and I don't think cooking just once will be enough.

I'm not too sure about that. If the meal is large enough, it might be justifiable.

How big of a meal are we talking about here?

Just a meal for two.

It's just that the other intended party happens to have the infamous "hunger of a king".

She will probably demand seconds. And thirds. And fourths. ...I think you get the picture.

[Well there goes a month's worth of paycheck. Good thing living in the hotel is free.]

Is there anything in particular you'd like to request for this meal?

Not really. As long as it's good, it should be fine.

[Thanks, Gilly-boy, that was very helpful.]

So does this other person you're bringing have any favorite foods or things I need to avoid making? Actually who is that person?

She likes meat. All sorts of meat. Really, it doesn't matter so much what it is as long as it's good and plentiful. And it's not like I expect this now. Sometime in the future, when you're able to handle it.

As for who? I believe you would know her better as King Arthur.

Fine with me. I'm going to need time to perfect a meal of that kind of caliber. Not to mention getting the right ingredients will take time.

I'm guessing that makes her class name Saber because of Arthur used the sword Excalibur. Which Saber though? No seriously, there's too many people going by their class name to the point it gets confusing.

...Right. I keep forgetting that little detail. The one that currently lives with me.

Okay I know which one you're referring to then. I don't mind this at all. You don't mind if I throw in something a little extra for the lion cubs, right?

Fine with me. I suppose it's only proper to consider them guests of honor as well.

Surely you jest.

About Gilgamesh giving the money or Miki getting out of jail?

I'm not kidding about either of those.

Archer does not simply give money away.

[ Unless your name is Arturia Pendragon. ]

Not without a catch anyway as I just found out. Then again I did say I owe him a favor since he did held back on an order to obtain the money.

Held back on an order? Explain please.

He mentioned about holding back an order of ancient texts for the book store. I didn't mean to cause the store this sort of inconvenience in any way.

Then I will just work twice as hard to ensure sales do not suffer.

[Oh hey, texting! Nathan can do that.]

Miki?

Miki Onimaru. She's a friend of mine.

A few days ago, she thought the best method of training some of the high school kids was to chain up all the entrances and ambush them. I ended up calling the cops on her because I was afraid for both her and their safety.

[He listens, and boy is that a handful. He can relate to that somehow, because he knows someone who would likely do the same for him, then bail him out all at once.]

It turned out fine then, yeah? Considering she's getting out. Still, that could have been risky.

Yeah. She'll be released shortly. She could've been locked up in jail or the insane asylum. Mr. Edgeworth, the prosecutor and one of us, somehow managed to only make it a fine. A big fine, but that beats jail time.

I just feel like I walked into one big trap for blackmail though. Gilgamesh and I aren't exactly on friendly terms, you see.

Agreed. I don't know what the jail's like here but if it's still America, then it's not all it's cracked up to be. So you're taking what could be a fall for your friend, then?

That's quite nice of him.

Yes, it was. Miki's going to be released soon. Did she ambush you at all during that time?

No, she didn't. I escaped the school through one of the windows.

[Miki's plans, FOILED.]

I don't mind you bailing out the girl who punched me in the stomach but did you really take money from that guy?

I didn't have much of a choice in the matter. At the rate I was going, Miki would've been in jail for who knows how long. I didn't want that to happen. I have no right to turn down charity like that.

He's going to try to coerce you into something. If its bad call me and Ill straighten him out.

Given my past interaction with him and the things V/V just told me, I won't be surprised if he ends up blackmailing me. I'll keep that mind, Asuka. Thanks.

That's good news.

Is she okay now?

She'll be released next week. I've been checking up on her and she's seen better days.

As long as she can get out.

She was in jail?
