"Thanks kind jester...I understand your line of work is...stressful. Could I assist you?"

There was movement inside the cafe...Thana noticed the usually 'closed' sign was actually still flipped to open.

It seems like the cafe was open late tonight. Maybe it was his chance after all to venture inside?

"Hmmm, I suppose in a sense I would be. Though I have the capacity to deny them service...and if it was alcohol you wanted."

Springfield smiled as she reached under the counter and produced a bottle of sake. She'd pour the oni a small shot glass.

"I do have some for special occasions."

"For you? I think a nice tea might suit you...perhaps some English breakfast? Or if you're hungry I recommend the honey glaze doughnuts."

Springfield smiled, crossing her arms under her bust as she gazed over Monika. It didn't really matter where she met her. She just wanted to aid her.

"In a sense I'm already serving you...ah I see coffee isn't to your tastes. I could provide you with some soda or milk.

But as long as you spare my cafe I shall provide whatever you desire...I simply couldn't afford to replace this location."

"Ah, I'd prefer if you didn't damage the cafe."

Springfield smiled as she grabbed a variety selection of doughnuts, croissants, and cookies. She would prepare a nice sweet tasting mocha as well, offering it all to the Oni.

what do you offer for your freedom?"

"Hmmm...I see...you're a 'Huntress' interesting. Normally I don't participate in the criminal underworld like this...you actually seem rather heroic and noble."

Springfield reached up, removing the gag.

"But it cost me quite a bit of money to acquire you for capture...

"I suppose even cute jesters can't resist wanting to be near me. At least you're especially cute~"

"Haha...it's the only name I have I'm afraid. I suppose you could just call me 'Spring' if you prefer. Some call me 'Mother'. You can call me whatever you desire.

Hmmmm...you're warm Kira. Is it fine if I hold you for a bit before I put you to work?"

"Good~ I'm happy you accept. You can call me Springfield."

Springfield smiled as she pulled Kira into a tight hug, kissing her other cheek for posterity

Springfield smiled before leaning in to kiss Kira on the cheek. It seems Springfield liked what she saw.
