"Alright and that should do it." He had been in a rather good mood after finding out the current rate of exchange for Mercadian silver. As it fell just recently, his estimated spending amount in Mid-Childan credits fell as well. "Time to hit the Mercadian Market!"

"Yay!! I can't wait to try their chicken!" shouted Material-L, freshly awakened from her nap.

"Eh...?" Since when did they want to come?

"The quicker we do this, the faster we can be on our way. I would rather not stay on this dull planet for too long," muttered Material-D as she got out of the chair and stretched her wings a bit.

"Um..."

"Agreed." Material-S was just about to depart the ship when Yuuno quickly noticed her lack of attire aside from his shirt and pulled her back.

"Wait, what are you doing?! Are you going to go out like that?!"

She merely gave him a puzzled look. "Yes. Is there a problem?"

"...... er... actually, I was hoping you could stay behind and watch the ship. Dunno if there are any bandits around!" The Librarian mentally patted himself on the back for coming up with a good reasonable explanation to keep her out of sight. "And you shouldn't move around too much since you're still feeling a little under the weather."

The confusion cleared from the Nanoha replica's face. "I see. But you mentioned something about acquiring clothing for each of us. We should all be present if we are to be fitted properly, correct?"

"Uh... we'll just take your measurements to the tailor and pick an outfit for you!" He nervously turned to the other two replicas. "Can you...?"

"Why would I want to partake in such a menial task? It's more suited for a peon like yourself." And with that, Material-D walked out of the ship.

As for Material-L... "CHICKENCHICKENCHICKENCHICKENCHICKENCHICKEN-" It was all he heard as she bounced out as well, leaving Material-S and Yuuno alone.

"I better take this off if you are to get accurate measurements."

All he could do was gulp nervously as his eyes were once again treated to the naked form of the Nanoha replica.

--------------------------

"Yuu-nii, watch out!"

The Librarian heard Material-L's warning in time just to avoid a white robed cyclist recklessly biking through the crowded market place. "Whoa! That was close!"

"You've been spacing out like this since we left the ship! What's wrong with your head, you peon?!" shouted Material-D.

"Uh..." Best not to answer that question. Especially when his mind kept wandering back to the image of that naked female body that he felt up earlier. At least he got those measurements somehow... after ten minutes of fumbles and gawking.

"I'm gonna zap that guy for being so mean!" Material-L put down the boxes containing the equipment Yuuno needed for his repairs and started preparing a spell when Yuuno quickly shoved a drumstick into her hand from the takeout chicken bag he had bought earlier.

"No zapping, okay?! Please?!"

"Kay!!" Her mood instantly shifted from angry to happy as she munched on the drumstick without a care in the world.

'That was close...' Most of the items from the supply run had been purchased with the last thing to get being casual wear for the three Materials. He put down the grocery bags he had been carrying and reached into his pocket to get the map that had been available for new visitors from the information kiosk. "If this map of the market area is correct, then we should be near the clothing merchant section."

"Yami-chan, where are you going?"

Yuuno looked up to see that Material-D was already examining the merchandise of one stand, run by a young girl with purple hair and golden eyes. "Welcome, welcome! How can I help you today?"

"Hm... what is the finest outfit that you have-"

"Oi, I told you that I don't have a bottomless purse already!" The Hayate replica merely huffed while the Librarian turned to the young girl running the stall and quickly explained his shopping needs. "Uh, I'm just looking for some casual wear and shoes for my three friends."

"Three?"

"I have a third companion feeling a little under the weather so I'm shopping for her as well. I got all the proper measurements..." Yeah, like his brain would ever let him forget the numbers for her bust, waist and hips.

The girl grinned after hearing that. "Alright then! Let Miss Isis work her magic for ya!"

Heh, should we consider Yuuno lucky or unlucky? Nice Isis cameo
