'Because today is a weekend, and I got my weekly pay, from the cafe where I have been working... ' Bernadetta thought, bursting with glee. 'I think I know where I just have to spend both!'
*St-step, Squ-eak!
"Hi. Welcome to Animate!" A female employee shouted, happily.
"Oho, hi.. " Bernadetta replied distracted, as she thought, 'If they had a sale today of all days, that would be just great_'
*Rampant walking.
With a gasp, her palm over her mouth, she thought, 'It looks like, they are actually having sales today. *Pick* This keychain is so- Do I, have this keychain already? I do not know this girl, but.. she is just so cute... '
*Ding.
"Thanks for your purchases!" The clerk said with a chuckle.
| Later, on campus grounds.
"It is a really amazing thing... " Bernadetta said, twirling her keychain in front of her eyes. "For what feels like a lot of my life, these cartoon keychains just.. call to me.
And it is not like I watch the shows, these things are supposed to based on... But, I just like to have them."
"STOP, there!!" A deep voice yelled, scaring her out of her sandals.
"... WHO-Who is that??!" She trembled.
He said, "Your sight. That liveliness, beaming off you! (...) I must capture this, IN painting!"
Winded, Bernadetta quitely remarked, "Wai- in painting? It was just_ Satsuki-"
'He just liked, seeing me, HAPPY with my keychains??!' She questioned with confusion.
| Some time later!
Holding the canvas, Satsuki said, "I thank you. Panting ended up flawless."
Acting jittery, she replied, "That- Is that really, me? What- what do I say, to this?"
He grunted, concerned, "You like it?"
"I just_ Your painting is great! Really, you painting of me is just so great!" She forcibly said aloud.
| More walking later.
"Good day, Bernadetta, I hope?" A familiar quiet girl greeted, as she stopped to talk.
She responded, "Wha, who! Is that, Yayoi? (...) Hi, hello to you."
Awkwardly, she said, "I hope you do not mind? I was in that dorm room of yours, as myself and Agnes went over headline ideas?"
Confused, Bernadetta responded, "Nope. Why would I?"
Curiously, Yayoi asked as she pointed, "I have a question? Those items in that purse of yours, they are keychains, right?"
Anxious, she answered, "Ueh, yeah. These things? They are really just something I like to collect."
Surprised, Yayoi said, "I guess I could see, how they are charming keychains to have?"
"Ureh, ye-Ah." She replied, sweatily.
With a sudden glint, Yayoi eagerly asked, "I HAVE an extra question! You mentioned, that there was a collection of these, right?"
Hesitant, she nodded yes.
Looking unusually resolved, Yayoi asked, "Is it alright, if you could guide me to that collection of yours?"
| Some exhaustive running later.
"Mhm-Mhrm!? Bernadetta? Yayoi! What business brings you back here?" Agnes asked, her eyebrows raised.
Acting frantic, Yayoi whispered to her, "Pssp-psp-Spsp-Headlines!-Pshp-spsp!"
*Moment of silence.
Moving cluelessly, Bernadetta asked, "Huh? Wh-what?"
| A couple days later.
The latest headlines read, 'Local College Keychain Gal!: An average student on campus, who has collections and collections of "cute" Anime keychains, she just can't be without!"
Looking hollowed out, Bernadetta mumbled, "This is great... I cannot begin to think of.. what could happen to me, now..... "
| To be continued, Maybe! ^^
