"Alright! Let's venture!" Ryouri exclaimed excitedly, despite the fact that none of battle Souls had entered the area yet. However, as he shouted this, the girl with the appearance of an ice queen appeared in her usual drunken manner.

"So, we're going to battle?" Vodka asked, her Russian accent highly present in her voice. Ryouri nodded happily. "Alright. Where are the others?"

"Oh, they're still coming down," Ryouri answered, and Vodka just nodded in response. At once, a white-haired boy dressed in yellow flew down the steps, flipping the air as he did so and striking a pose when hitting the ground.

"I, Vanilla, have arrived!" Vanilla exclaimed, before realizing his younger twin hadn't arrived yet. "Oh, Strawberry!"

"Coming," a more quiet voice responded, going downstairs calmly, dressed in pink, unlike his older brother.

"Okay, now we're here!" Vanilla proclaimed, ready to adventure. "Where's everyone else?"

"They're coming," Vodka answered, before starting to drink, receiving a glare from Ryouri.

"Vodka, we haven't even left yet!" Ryouri scolded.

"Precisely, I must drink before we leave." Ryouri face-palmed in annoyance. A brown-haired male in a butler suit entered next.

"Master Attendant, are we leaving now?" Brownie asked, ready to do whatever was to be asked of him. Ryouri nodded.

"Minus the fact that Bifty isn't here yet . . . Hey! B-52!" Ryouri shouted, hoping he would be heard. The room was silent - not even the fire of B-52's wings drawing nearer. Ryouri bolted up the steps and entered B-52's room, which was stocked full of old versions of B-52's wings and wand, and B-52 stared out the window quietly- even his flames seemed silent.

"Oh. Master Attendant, did you require me?" B-52 questioned curiously.

"Uh, yeah," Ryouri answered. "We're leaving now - I've called you quite a few times now."

"Oh, my apologies Master Attendant. I hadn't been paying attention."

"Um, okay. It's fine. Let's just go, okay?" B-52 nodded in response and the two departed. Not a word was spoken between them.

Ryouri slid down the banister of the stairs, despite how short is was, and hit the ground in a similar fashion to Vanilla, except there was no flip. "Alright! Let's go!" he exclaimed, pointing to the sky. He then bolted out the door into the open street, his Food Souls following after him.
