Break?

Yes, Emily?

Guess what I found?

What did you find?

A treasure map! A treasure map!

Treasure? My, my- what does it say.

I don't know! I can't read it.

Well, I can't read it either. How are we going to find the treasure, then?

Maybe we can ask someone to help?

[Well, Negi and Lizzie are the first ones to arrive, by staff. It takes them a little while to find anything, but once they do--]

Ah! There's something here!

[And, gentleman that he is, he'll tug it out on his own so Lizzie doesn't have to.]

[Lizzie tilts her head at the barrel, taking the note to read aloud so Negi could take a break from lugging it out.]

So...we have to kick it around.

[A pause. And then she shrugs at Negi. With a little smile, she lifts her skirts a little to expose her shoe and give the barrel a mighty kick.]

[exarmatio]

Eeh-!?

[Oh, no, Lizzie shouldn't be kicking things--]

N-no, let me! I don't want you to pull a muscle or something...

Oh, don't be silly! Even I can kick around a barrel like this.

[And she gives it another kick. A surprisingly strong one, in fact.]

[Offline]

[exarmatio]

... w-well, alright..

[Negi will just go up and give the barrell a solid kick to the side, too! Not too hard, he doesn't want to break it if the purpose is to just beat it up.]

[Unohana comes out on the porch as she hears youn voices outside.]

Aa, Negi-san, Elizabeth-san, it looks like you found the treasure.

[Offline]

[daintydressing.livejournal.com]

Ah, hello Miss Unohana!

[Another kick for the barrel.]

We did, but I don't know exactly why we need to kick it, though.

[Offline]

[exarmatio]

Unohana-san!

[He'll refrain from kicking the barrel this time.]

You would think if there's a treasure inside, you would want to break it open... but the note just said to beat it up, not to break it.

[bunny_flower]

I must say I do not know. I was just asked if it could be hidden here. I have no idea of what is inside.

I suppose it is best to follow the instructions.

[daintydressing.livejournal.com]

Will there be other people coming here, then? It sounds like there might be, but nobody else is here yet...

[Offline]

[exarmatio]

Perhaps we're the only ones that have come this far just yet.

This barrel... sounds like it has ice in it, though.

[Offline]

[daintydressing.livejournal.com]

I guess it helped that we were flying~

[And then she peeks down at the barrel.]

Ice? Why would ice be in a barrel like this? And how does that qualify as treasure?

[Offline]

[exarmatio]

... maybe it's not the ice, but what's in the ice.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

I suppose whoever hid it knows what's inside, but wants you to find out for yourself.

[Lizzie is just going to look confused over here.]

I'm not sure I understand...but okay.

[And she gives the barrel another kick.]

[Offline]

[exarmatio]

[And suddenly, it all makes sense. Something inside a barrel full of ice that needs to be kicked and shaken for an exact amount of time...]

I think I know what it is.

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Really, Negi-san? Do tell.

[Offline]

[daintydressing.livejournal.com]

Yes, don't leave us in the dark, Negi~! I'm curious about this strange treasure.

[Offline]

[exarmatio]

It's ice cream!

[Offline]

[daintydressing.livejournal.com]

Ice cream? Really? What a wonderful treasure to be given!

[Offline]

[bunny_flower]

Indeed, if that is what it is. How long do you have to keep doing this?

[Offline]

[daintydressing.livejournal.com]

For a while, it seems...the note said it would be easier if we had more than a few people to help.
