Magical Lotus - Mahou Shoujou Byakuren - Episode 4, Part 4

[Oldmansour]

>"That was in my dream, as well. I... find myself increasingly skeptical this is all a coincidence."

>"You think I was crashing your dreams?"

[DracoOmega]

>"That makes it sound far too deliberate. I don't really know how I would put it exactly, but it does seem rather odd, no?"

[Oldmansour]

>"That makes it sound far too deliberate. I don't really know how I would put it exactly, but it does seem rather odd, no?"

>"It's new ta me, that's for sure."

[DracoOmega]

>Smile a little
>"Well, I don't mind you borrowing dreams from me if you don't."

[Oldmansour]

>Smile a little
>"Well, I don't mind you borrowing dreams from me if you don't."

>"Of course not." your Rin replies easily. "I'll try ta make 'em all good ones."

[DracoOmega]

>"Still, I fear they may struggle to compete with waking up to see your face beside me."
>Smile and kiss her

[Oldmansour]

>"Still, I fear they may struggle to compete with waking up to see your face beside me."
>Smile and kiss her

>That's an act you sincerely doubt you'll ever tire of.
>Once you and your Rin part, the kasha smiles a happy smile as she looks at your mouth. "Did you go and get that tongue of yours silver'd when I weren't lookin'?"

[DracoOmega]

>"Let's say I've felt inspired lately."

[Oldmansour]

>"Let's say I've felt inspired lately."

>"I ain't never been insp'ratnal before." she remarks, not quite getting word right.

[DracoOmega]

>"Love is a wonderful thing."
>Of course, breakfast is also important

[Oldmansour]

>"Love is a wonderful thing."
>Of course, breakfast is also important

>"Amen ta dat."
>But since you don't have to love on an empty, you and your Rin return to your plates.
>Just as you and she are finishing up, you hear the sound of motorcycle engines pulling in to your apartment yard. You've heard those three engines as a group often enough to recognize them as Reisen, Nitori and Marissa's bikes. The trio must have gone out for one of their drives.

[DracoOmega]

>"I think I'd like to head out to the CRA once I'm finished warming up to the morning. I promised I would take another look at the remains of the devouring tar, and hopefully I can take a look at Koishi while I'm at it."

[Oldmansour]

>"I think I'd like to head out to the CRA once I'm finished warming up to the morning. I promised I would take another look at the remains of the devouring tar, and hopefully I can take a look at Koishi while I'm at it."

>"Want me ta come with?"

[DracoOmega]

>"That's up to you. I'm fine either way."

[Oldmansour]

>"That's up to you. I'm fine either way."

>Rin grimaces slightly, briefly. She still has a bit of an issue with that 'up to you' thing now and again. "Well, if you wanted some time for yourself, if you think it's safe."

[DracoOmega]

>"I'm not anticipating trouble, but your company is always welcome, of course. I just didn't know if you had anything else you'd rather do today."

[Oldmansour]

>"I'm not anticipating trouble, but your company is always welcome, of course. I just didn't know if you had anything else you'd rather do today."

>"Nowhere I need ta be, not 'till 6:30."

[DracoOmega]

>"Well, then I suppose we can go together. I could introduce you to Marigold."

[Oldmansour]

>"Well, then I suppose we can go together. I could introduce you to Marigold."

>"Ah yeah, yer ki..." She trails off, an unsure look on her face. She probably isn't sure if you approve of that descriptor for Marigold.

[DracoOmega]

>"I'm not really sure what the proper word for this situation is, to be honest. She calls me mother, but I think myself and Lily only nudged her a little along her way to sentience, if you know what I mean. I mean, obviously I care for her well-being, but...."

[Oldmansour]

>"Maybe that might make ya more of.... Oh, what's the word? Middle-Wife?"

[DracoOmega]

>"Do you mean 'midwife'? And, um, hmmm.... Maybe 'godmother' is the better term here?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Do you mean 'midwife'? And, um, hmmm.... Maybe 'godmother' is the better term here?"

>Rin's face scrunches in thought. "'fraid I don't know that one."

[DracoOmega]

>"It's like.... Actually, I find myself struggling a little at how to describe exactly what it is, but sort of like... an honorary part-time guardianship? Someone who isn't necessarily related, but who takes on the role of like... a fairly involved aunt or something?"
>"This whole situation is more than a little unusual, to be fair."

[Oldmansour]

>"It's like.... Actually, I find myself struggling a little at how to describe exactly what it is, but sort of like... an honorary part-time guardianship? Someone who isn't necessarily related, but who takes on the role of like... a fairly involved aunt or something?"
>"This whole situation is more than a little unusual, to be fair."

>Rin chuckles helplessly. "Oh, how many times're we gonna say THAT between now and new year's." she says rhetorically.

[DracoOmega]

>"I believe 'strange' is becoming the new normal."
>Smile
>"It's not all bad, though."

[Oldmansour]

>"I believe 'strange' is becoming the new normal."
>Smile
>"It's not all bad, though."

>A thoughtful look crosses Rin's face. "Y'know, ya might need a bigger place than this at this rate. Maybe a lot bigger." she says after a moment's pondering.

[DracoOmega]

>Chuckle softly
>"Well, Marigold has a place to stay for now, at least. Later, well... we can figure out something then, if we need to."

[Oldmansour]

>Chuckle softly
>"Well, Marigold has a place to stay for now, at least. Later, well... we can figure out something then, if we need to."

>"So I don't need ta keep an eye out fer "For Sale" signs?"

[DracoOmega]

>Laugh
>"I'm afraid the salary for 'Saving the World' is still a little low for that."
>Assuming nothing else of consequence happens, let's finish up and get ready to head out to the CRA
