>Has she reacted to the arm around her shoulder?
>What do we know about wands?

>Nope. She's not reacting to your arm around her shoulder.
>You don't know much about magic wands, other than that they tend to be used for casting spells of all sorts.

>You decide to order a yakisoba...

>"Welcome to Night Sparrow Noodle Bar! What would you like for dinner, miss?" The waitress says.
>"Two yakisoba, please." Nitori says.
>The waitiress jolts down the order. "Two yakisoba coming right up, miss!"
>The waitress then leaves your table to pass the order to the kitchen. Now it's just waiting, which hopefully isn't too long.

>Nitori doesn't say anything. A quick glimpse of her face tells you that she seems flustered.

>The waitress from before comes back to your table. This time to serve you and Nitori the two bowls of yakisoba ordered.
>"Enjoy your meal~" The waitress tells you, before going to attend to other customers.

//Choking on that "do everything excitedly" running gag now?

>You are about to wolf down the yakisoba, but then decide to take it slowly instead.
>"For someone who hasn't had a proper meal in years, you sure took this nice and slowly..." Nitori says. "Table manners, perhaps?"

>You and Nitori are about to start eating your yakisoba...
>Until you hear the sound of the restaurant's door being kicked open.
>"Alright! Whoever owns this restaurant, time to pay your Protection Tax!" You then hear someone loudly and hammily announcing.
>You can see that the waitress froze in place, with her face going pale on hearing that. The other customers froze similarily...

>Glance over at the dramatics. Where are they in relation to us?

>You slowly turn toward the restaurant's entrance. That's where they are, and you (and Nitori) are the furthest away from them.
>But with the restaurant being so small, that's still pretty close...

>Incidentially, they wouldn’t happen to be more sukeban, would they?

>That would be the case, unfortunately...

>You count five Sukeban. Two of them barehanded, two holding crowbars, and the one making the hammy entrance seems to have a handgun holstered...
