Ah! I saw the dollar sign and assumed different denomination, the other one was yen.

>Shit, pocket this too. She don't need it.
>Look at the owner. "Um, how much have they been shaking your down for, anyways?"
>Also, it's time to sit down. Be ready to whomp anyone who moves with the crowbar.

//I don't know any ways to input a Yen sign, so I subbed with the dollar sign.

>You pocket the Ward of Cash.
>The waitress seems uncomfortable about answering your question. Must've been many times the Sukeban came knocking here...
>You sit down and keep an eye on the downed Sukeban, only to find that Nitori has already gotten to tying and gagging them up with duct tape.
>"Got to make sure they can't do anything." Nitori tells you.
>The Kappa then turns toward the waitress. "Sorry about the place, though..."

>"I-I think so..." The waitress answers you.
>You then hear police sirens coming from outside the restaurant. Someone did call the cops without anyone noticing...

>"But...about your meal..." The waitress says.
>Nitori takes a bill from the Ward of Cash and pushes it into the waitress's grasp. "Here's the payment for the yakisoba. Keep the change."
>The Kappa then grabs you by your wrist. "Let's go..." She tells you.
>You are then dragged out of the restaurant's backdoor (going past the kitchen) by Nitori, and emerges into a pitch black alley.

>You look around the alley to make sure the coast is clear. Nitori appears to be doing the same.
>"Well, with Sukeban all over the place, everyone are more concerned with just being able to survive..." Nitori says.
>You don't know. Honestly, you have never seen any kind of healing magic being used in your 10 years in Gensokyo.

>"That being said," She then adds. "I guess we'll have no choice but to settle with buying loaves of bread from the bakery for dinner..."

>You have seen a couple of convenience stores in your 10 years in the city, and you remember seeing one on the way to Nitori's apartment earlier.

>"Follow me." Nitori tells you.
>The two of you leave the alley, as far away from the restaurant as possible.
>For a brief moment, you can see those five Sukeban under police custody as they are being led into a police truck, possibly to be shipped off to prison...

x-x-x

>The two of you soon arrives at the aforementioned convenience store.
>There's nothing special or fancy about the store. It is just an average convenience store with all that entrails.

>You two enter the convenience store, and begin looking for the stuffs needed.

>No microwavables. Those are apparently the hot stuff (figuratively) of Gensokyo, and they've all out of stock by the time you reached the store.
>You don't find any medicines that would look useful for your loose teeth (as far as your lack of medical knowledge can tell). But you do find some bandaids for the mild cuts and lashes.
>Your shopping cart currently has: some bread (found by Nitori), and some bandaids. Proceed to the cashier?
