Hm...

Well...

Okay, I agree to your terms.

Awesome! Thanks for being so reasonable!

Hold on a sec. Don't get too excited.

You gotta get me what I want.

Go on.

Find Sonya and get her to ask me to join.

Err...

That's all you gotta do, and I'll wear your armband.

We need to think this one over.

Sure. Take your time.

See ya.

I deal with these boring punks every day.

Pain in my ass.

Hm?

Come on, did I drink that much just now?

There's no more?

*Sigh*.

This sucks.

You're Rosalind.

Here we go again...

Yeah, that's me.

You, you, and you, go.

Oh, we're fighting?

Wow.

Well okay then.

This is way more fun than talking!

I never had these before. Always too lazy to deal with the shell.

Mm, I never knew these nuts were so good.

So that means it wasn't just kids from your school in there already?

They took students from a bunch of different nearby schools and locked them in with us.

Including the gopniks from Her Worship's school.

Sorry, which one are you talking about there?

Oh, that's Natalya. One of the Ursus girls with us.

I just got used to calling her that.

She's not a bad girl. But back then she was into some real messed up shit.

We all remember.

Hey, Beehunter, do the thing for me again.

Which?

The thing you just did.

That trick where you crack the nuts with your hands.

Gimme one.

Here.

Watch.

D- don't kill me!

Aieeeee!

Coward.

*Spit*.

You all suck at putting out fires, but you sure are good at stealing.

Wait, no.

I don't have any food here either. Why are they always coming at me?

They're all gopniks from our school.

None of these punks have armbands. How am I supposed to know if they're with Andrey or Vasily?

I'll take a few bits, just to fill my stomach.

I can't keep going like this. They bug me every night.

The garbage from #4 took over the cafeteria cold storage, and the other canteen went up in smoke.

Drinks are gonna be the least of my problems if this keeps up. I won't have food or water.

Gotta think...

Hm...

What if I went to Sonya?

She's already got a couple kids over there, right?

She won't mind taking one more.

Yeah, that's it. That could work.

I offer up a few cans and she'll let me right in.

Good idea.

That'll be a little more 'stable' at least.

Never would've thought the world's second strongest would have to go beg first place for help.

But I'd be able to get a good night's sleep over there...

Hey, Sonya, are you here? I wanna talk to you.

Sonya?

It's me...

Eep?!

Sonya? Wh- what happened?

Pfft.

Err, really, I'm coming in.

...Hm?

I, uh, didn't mean... I just wanted to, err, I want to join you.

Sonya?

Rosalind, I need a hand.

The ones slumped up against the wall. Take them out for me.

Hey, you didn't really...

I have to guard this place. I'm protecting them. I can't leave.

I'll owe you.

Uh...

Okay. You're the boss.

I brought you a few cans. They're yours.

And I'll deal with... them.

Thanks.

You've changed.

Did you fall in, Shura? Who takes that long in the bathroom?!

I drank too much.

Ahahaha! Too fun.

Your face is all red too.

You're pretty fun yourself.

Huh?

Look at you, you can barely talk anymore.

What?! I've still got a story to tell.

Where was I?

The second fire?
