No sugar to be had, but Tamamo provided us with festival outfits, so this is a loaner.

[ It made sense. Tenkohime expected representatives of her clans to look damn good at a festival, and Musashi couldn't complain about looking cute for free. So long as it wasn't coming out of her wallet, it was fine! She sure hope she didn't get anything like blood or something on it later...

But as for his other comment... ]

Eh, it's soreness from getting slapped and thrown around, but nothing I can't handle. I do worse to myself in my own training, sometimes.

[demonrebel]

The Tamamo clan loaned that to you? [He asks with a hint of disbelief in his tone.] Geez, I guess the fox lady really like you guys.

[There's no such thing as "freebies" within the Shuten Clan. Grumpy old Toraguma expects everyone to pull their own weight here regardless of how much they contribute to the clan. It's a little frustrating but there's nothing anyone can do about it. However, that hasn't stopped Dante from using every waking moment to pester Toraguma into giving him a raise. If there's one thing that can be said about Dante, it's that he's determined.]

And here I thought you drank more than you trained.

[Of course, he says this just moments away from them arriving at the bar. The bar in question is a quaint little spot off the main road here. It's a hole in the wall establishment with just a couple of chairs but the ambiance is nice. This place is apart of the Golden Gai, a network of 200 or something odd bars scattered throughout town. This particular bar is known as the Roaring Tiger, one of the many Shuten based watering holes in this district of town.]

Grab a chair, girlie! The drinks are on me.

[ Normally being a Tamamo in Shuten territory was a recipe for a fight to break out, but thankfully it was festival time and everyone seemed to be in a highly agreeable mood. Perfect for Musashi, of course. She had her swords at her hip, but the less she had to use them today, the better.

She plops herself down with a hum, settling her hands in front of her and looking at the menu. Sake was, of course, the goal, but they had a bunch of tasty looking sochu...

But she did remember that remark from earlier. ]

Believe it or not, I keep up pretty diligently with my training! I get up early every morning to work out.

[demonrebel]

Do you now? I wouldn't have ever guessed~!

[Judging from the surprise in his tone, Dante thought of her to be a lazy lay-about much like him. While he's not really lazy, Dante certainly does have his moments. He just lacks the motivation sometimes to do anything productive. That's just how he is considering how much he enjoys goofing around.]

How do you manage the train if you're always sloshed, pinky? Even I have a bit of trouble doing that.

[When the bartender approaches, Dante is quick to0 order a round of sake for the two of them. He plans on eventually just buying the entire bottle but he really wants to try this sweet nigori sake.]

[ryototsukai]

[ Musashi also gets a dish of edamane to go with the order. As for Dante's question. ]

Well, the trick is to never get a hang over. You drink plenty of water and eat salty foods, and you'll be alright!

[ She still had to wake up pretty early in the morning, though... ]

Fact is, it took a lot of hard work to get as good as I am. You don't just wind up born with these abilities, yanno?
