Especially as she becomes able to actually use the techniques of her favorite fighting game, Ma-hui unconsciously begins to show combat senses and habits identical to Mai.

A restaurant on the 7th floor of the department store. The afternoon sunlight pouring through the window illuminated the empty plates on the table. It was the time when the lingering scent of steak still remained in the mouth.
Ah, I really ate well. How long has it been since I've stuffed myself with meat like this?
Her collarbones, exposed above the worn tank top, glistened with a bit of oil. She makes a satisfied expression while fiddling with her frayed sneaker laces with her toes.
I know, right. It's been a while since we ate out. T_T
