Who: Nikolai Volkov and you!
Where: Ichiban Market, Virgo Ward
Summary: TRIHARDO has taken a hold of him and everyone else gets to suffer

[Nik was actually fine with the media's downplay of his involvement in the Virgo monster's defeat. He didn't want to be brought into the limelight. He liked his mostly quiet life and his quiet job as the manager at Ichiban Market.

Except being in that fight got him a face full of those spores, so now he's got a bad case of the try hards.

Feeling compelled to help customers in the store today, Nik's doing more harm than good. He's been knocking over displays, toppling grocery carts, and some how just spreading the mess when trying to clean everything up.

The problem is, he's in charge. No one can tell him to knock it off or go home. Truth be told, some of the employees are even a bit intimidate by him normally. Except today, he's being strangely more apologetic and outwardly frustrated than he's ever been in his life.

If you're out shopping today, look out. He's coming your way. Nik only wants to help! ]

Ah, can I help you, young lady? [Though this sounds more like a statement than a question. Looks like the manager just happened to be passing by as you were muttering to yourself, Ruri.]

[electricyousei]

"I was looking for fresh noodles. Are there any here?"

[doesasordered]

Yes, over in th-- [And as he turns to point, he manages to swing his arm directly into a shelf, sending some boxes tumbling.] >Ah, not again--

[electricyousei]

"Um, do you need some help with that? I know the Nadesico's cooks got like that when they were overworked."

[doesasordered]

No, I'm fine-- [He scrambles to pick them up.] No matter how many times I get asked that today.

[electricyousei]

She nods, but shows slight concern mixed in with her deadpan.

"I see. Still, it may be best if you take a 5 minute break once you get this done?"

[doesasordered]

I will take my break at the proper time. But I will consider it, young lady. [He arranges the shelf and sighs. This was getting irritating, and even his employees were losing their patience with him.]

[electricyousei]

"I'll just go get the noodles then."

She starts edging away from him as if he may be crazy.

[doesasordered]

No, please, allow me. [He quickly arranges the shelf to hurry after her.]

[electricyousei]

"Its no problem now that I know where they are."
