[just to make things clearer, both Eiji's grandparents speak in a southern dialect but his mother doesn't]

'Honeeeey~!' Eiji was almost knocked to the ground as his mother launched herself at him and nearly choked him with her embrace. 'I missed you, I missed you, I missed you~!'

Eiji struggled in his mother's iron grip for air. 'M-Mom! Stop! This is embarrassing!' Despite this, he had a wide grin on his face. He was happy to see his mother after so long. Still, when she started attacking his face with kisses, he had to push himself away.

'Chiyoko! Don' embarrass the boy!' a sharp and deep voice from behind the woman scolded her. Eiji wrenched his head out of the assault and was surprised to see his grandfather and grandmother there. His mother hadn't mentioned them in the text she sent him that morning.

Chiyoko turned around and stuck out her tongue. 'He's my son and I miss him! I have the right to embarrass him!' Still, she broke away from her son and stood a step away from him, her face beaming. 'So? How has my son been all alone in the city? Have you been eating properly? How are you doing in school? You don't stay out late at night, do you? Do you have a girlfriend yet? Is she pretty? Are we going to meet her-'

Eiji's grandmother came up behind the woman and put a hand on her shoulder. 'Chiyoko, dear, take a breath! We got all week to ask questions.'

Eiji, still blushing about the last couple questions, raised an eyebrow at this. 'You're staying for a week??'

His mother nodded. 'I'm taking a much needed vacation! That dingy old town can live without textiles for a week! I'm going to soak in the sights of Nagashima and enjoy my time with my son!' With that, she hugged him again and gave him another kiss on the cheek.

Eiji broke away, his face red again. 'Hey, how about we go get something to eat? My treat.'

The family agreed and start moving towards the shopping center.


The Tanjiro shopping center was bustling with people, more than Eiji had expected. Because of this, the restaurant he had been thinking of was completely filled. The family trawled about the center, led by the boy. 'I'm sorry guys. I'm not really sure where else to go...'

'Sallright, Eiji, dear, we don' need nothin fancy,' said his grandmother. Eiji nodded, but he still felt like he let them down. Maybe there was a good place that he hadn't found yet? Maybe the shopping center was the best place to start looking?

Regardless, the family kept walking around, trying to find a good place to eat.

Charles wandered through the crowd, leading his mother around by the hand. Thankfully, she just had her hair in a ponytail, and she wasn't wearing anything asides a red skirt and a white t-shirt, so there was probably no chance of someone recognizing her in public.

"Yo, ma. Today's kinda busy, isn't?" said Charles, pushing some people out of the way.

"I'll say. Hmph. I wanted to go to that restaraunt, Charles. Why wouldn't you just let me handle it, Charles? He probably let me through if I said I was Ali-"
she asked, swinging his hand as she held it.

Charles flicked his mother in the head.

"Because. If we did it your way, we'd have to run from a mob of crazed fans. And I'm not in the mood to run right now."


"Hmph. Fine. You better know a better place to eat, though." said Charles mom', as a pouty look covered her face.

After pushing his way through most of a crowd, he lead his mother over to a bench, deciding to take a break.

"Fuck this. This damn crowd's too big." sighed the boy.

"Yeah... Hey, is that that funny Eiji kid? And what I'm guessing is his family?" said Charles' mom, tilting her head.

Charles looked over, and saw that it was Eiji, and a woman he assumed was his mother, going from looks, and a good amount of other family members.

"Oi, Eiji! These crowds are just horrible, aren't they?"

Eiji noticed the two sitting and waved back, walking over. 'Hey, Charles! Al- Charles's mom! What's up?'

His mother came up behind him with a big smile on her face. 'Is this your friend, Eiji?'

'Huh? Oh, yeah. Hold on, let me introduce you. This is my friend Charles and his mother, Al... Alita.' He said the last bit quieter than the rest. Maybe his family didn't hear him. Oh well. He turned to them and began introducing them. 'This is my mom, Chiyoko, my grandmother, Kaoru, and my grandfather, Hi...sao.' When his eyes reached his grandfather, the look on the old man's face reminded him of a couple things about his grandfather. Eiji ducked his head. 'Uhhhhhhhh, wellitwasniceseeingyoubye!' He began running in the opposite direction before Chiyoko grabbed his arm and approached Charles and Alita.

'It's soo nice to meet a friend of my son, Cha...Charu... I'm just going to call you Chakkun! And it's very nice to meet you, Ali... Alita???' The last bit was much louder than anyone intended, which meant it was Eiji's turn to grab his mother's arm and begin walking.

'Ummmm, we should leave.' He began walking before turning back to Charles. It would be rude to cause this sort of commotion and just leave. 'Oh, hey! why don't we have lunch together?' Half a second later, he realized the obvious problem there, but it was too late. The invitation was extended.

As Charles and his mother met Eiji's family, they perked up at the idea of lunch.

"Lunch!? I'm starving, let's!" they said, as they stood up together.

Yo, Charles. Heads up.

"Huh?"

I get a bad vibe from Eiji's gramps there.

"What makes you say that?"

I dunno. He's got a whole vibe of the old school coming off of him. That's all.


"I'll stay alert, then."

Eiji led the group to some random restaurant. He didn't really care what it was, he just wanted to get them out of there before there was a scene. The group was seated surprisingly fast and Eiji immediately began working to smooth over any animosity before it made itself known.

...That is, until his mother instantly launched into conversation. 'Woooow, you really are Alita!!! I can't believe I'm having lunch with you!! This is unreal! Why didn't you tell me your friend had an idol for a mother?!' She said the last bit while scowling at her son and pinching his cheek. Her scowl deepened and the the other cheek was grabbed. 'In fact, why don't you call more often? Do you know how much I worry about my son being alone in a big city like this?! You're so inconsiderate!!'

'Ow. Mom. Please stop.'

Kaoru giggled a bit before turning to Charles and Alita. 'Its nice meetin friends a Eiji's. Please be takin care a my granson.'

Chiyoko ceased her attack on her son's face to nod in agreement. 'Yes, please do. He might be a handful sometimes, but he's a good kid!'

Eiji rubbed his cheeks. 'Yeah, thanks. Anyway, what do we all want? We can talk after we order.' He looked at the menu. It seemed to have a lot of noodles and rice. What kind of restaurant was this? 'Ummm, I guess I'll get udon. What's everyone else getting?'

"Wake up in the mornin' feeling like Randy Savage, I'ma ready like a bonesaw and I'm set to ravage, so I'm out on the shopping center lookin' for food, but err'one that I be meetin' be a'specially rude..."

As he made up a song to go with his dancing along the street, Harkens spotted Charles and Eiji with their respective families.
"I know those people. They are allies of the collective! I mean..."

Instead, Harkens chose to just gave them a wave, hoping they'd notice.

"Oh, well, I'm just the average idol, that's all. I'm nothing much. Just a girl who looks good, really." said Charles mom'. "Me and Charles will have the tonkotsu, right?"

"Yeah ma."

"Yep!~ Tonkotsu."

As they took their orders, Charles saw Harkens outside, waving to the boy.

"Yo, Eiji, check who it is!"

The rest of Eiji's family decided on what they would order and Eiji launched into a short but insightful speech that quelled any and all misgivings his grandfather might have about him having a foreign friend.

....Until another one popped out of the woodworks and started waving at them. Before he could launch a foot at Charles's leg to get him to stop waving, Chiyoko noticed the boy waving and found Harkens at the door. 'Oooh, is this another friend of yours, Eiji?? Is his mother someone important, too?' The last question was delivered with a hand on its way to his cheek again. However, this time Eiji was ready, grabbing her hand before it reached him. Instead of trying to continue her assault on the eastern front, she decided to turn to Harkens and wave him over. 'Hey~! You're a friend of Eiji's, right? Come over, have lunch with us!'

Oh beautiful, now there are two of my foreign friends to deal with along with granddad. Shoot me now.

'I mean, what's up Harkens? You probably aren't hungry and have a lot of shopping to do, r-right?'

"Actually, I've got time, but..."

Harkens noted the uncomfortable expression upon Eiji's face. He could be a good friend and make up an excuse to leave. However, the opportunity to mess with them (or to just learn a bit more of them) is fairly hard to miss.
"That's it. I've got time."

"Alright, the more the merrier." said Charles, pulling up a chair for Harkens.

As his mother sipped on a glass of water, she ruffled Charles' hair before talking again.

"So, Eiji. How long is you family staying here?"
