[ the ahoge is only slightly more eyebrow raising than Makoto's various injuries. could a crane truly inflict that much damage on someone? then he stares at the bird and nods inwardly. he'll have to take care of those later--- thankfully, he brought along a small first aid kit as well. why?

well, anything can happen. including surprise cranes. ]

Yes, and you are Makoto.

[ not a question. anyway, he fishes (ha) out a few packages taped and wrapped in parchment sheet paper. ]

Carp. [ the first one. ] Goldfish. [ the second smaller one. ] And Goldfish. [ the... third one. each portion smaller than the last. ]

You may want to use the carp to chill some of those bruises. They look painful.
