"A dozen, wow. They all look so much fancier than the ones in di..."

Shiho stopped herself just short of saying "District 5" and "District 10"; instead, she turned to admiring the organization and the elegance of the city, turning temporarily away from her new companion. She made a surprised acclamation, as if her prior trip to the area was void, and that she was seeing a great landmark for the first time in her life.

"Are any of them especially good? I think just before I went to the arcade I tried to eat at a really fancy-looking one. What was it called again? Genuine Japanese Cuisine or something, I think. Apologies if I misremembered the name."

She turned back to Krystal with a smile; whatever expression she was trying to hide that moment was already gone from the girl's face. She made sure that the entire exchange seemed natural enough that there would be nothing to suspect. Especially not about a certain level 6 shift project in the aforementioned districts.
