cinnamonagency | Get ready for some festival time!

A [ Day before the festival, Genos can be found searching for a kimono second-hand shop. This time he won't be able to go without a yukata, because... well the whole discount thing.
Save him and not let him near a punk&metal shop, so he won't get himself some kind of tacky black yukata with skulls, and bloody murder ]

B [ During the festival he's failing again at the fish scooping, and randomly terrorizing shop owners when they refuse him to get everything he wants in a double. In good faith of course. Because he can't buy himself a souvenir if he won't get one for his sensei too ]

C [ When the fireworks roll around, and everyone are gathering in big crowd, he'd rather sit in the chill area, which is now mostly empty. Save for few romantic couples. These can be easily ignored, unlike the giant, overly loud and cheering crowd. ]

No, no, dude. You gotta go slower! [ Saitama leans over Genos’ shoulder and watches as his disciple tries, and fails yet again, to scoop up a goldfish with the dainty little net. The juxtaposition of his disciple’s massive frame next to the small crowd of young children at the stand was amusing. What amuses Saitama even more is the fact that Genos is having so much trouble with such a simple game. The children around them are giggling with glee. During the time that he and Genos had been at the stand, at least several of those kids had come and gone with a fish.

Saitama absentmindedly nibbles on his frozen banana while watching Genos. He hadn’t been to a festival since the last time he went out to one with Genos, but this time they had a lot more freetime to spend. They had only been at this one a short while, enough to grab a snack and for Saitama to coerce Genos into trying another game. Their last festival trip had been… unsuccessful in a way, and Saitama thought they’d have more fun the second time around. And so maybe he wanted to see his clueless disciple struggle with a kids game again. ]

They run away if I go slower! [ Genos protests and makes again a quick move, he catches the fish, raises it out of the water but then net breaks. And the fish is back in the tank ]

[ enough ]

This calls for extreme measures. [ He states seriously and... just looks at the fishes for a good minute ignoring everything else. Switching modes of his vision, to tracking and analyzing fish movement, force of the scoop and gravity. Yes, this is exactly for what he had been equipped with this computer, his doctor would be so proud.

....he most likely really would. ]

[ With perfectly calculated move Genos makes one last scoop. A bit slower, and more precise. The doesn't broke and fish is flapping in it above the water. Genos turns to Saitama with proud, almost beaming expression on his face ]

You were right, sens---

[ Flap, flap. The fish decides against just sitting in the net, and slides from its side right to the water tank. ]

--whaat? NO!

Aw right nice jo-- [ Saitama watches in surprise as the little fish jumped off and rejoined it's fellow fish in the tank. The look on Genos' face was priceless.]

Well... It's fine. [ He straightens up and stretches. His back felt stiff from watching Genos fish for so long. ] Besides it'd be really annoyin' to actually take care of a fish. Feed it and clean its tank or whatever. [ It wasn't even as though he was trying to make his disciple feel better about his failure. Saitama just generally found pets more trouble than they were worth. ]

C'mon there's other stuff to do. What are ya in the mood for?

[ Genos stands up and fixes his yukata. He also accidentally kicks the fish tank so the water splashes around, and fish scatter much faster around. If the owner of the stall wanted to say something he stops immediately seeing Genos glare ]

You are right sensei, what would we need a fish for anyway. [ To look pretty in tank, and swim around, and be a silent pet most likely... because it's too small to eat. ]

[ Saitama wasn't paying attention to Genos' little outburst, but he does notice his expression as they walk away from the game stand. He shrugs and takes a bite of his snack. ]

Yeah pets are too much work. [ He says with a full mouth. He swallows before continuing. ] You gotta lighten up though, Genos. If you get like this every time you lose a game you're gonna be pissed off all night. [ He smirks playfully and continues down the line of stalls with Genos.

He leads his disciple through the busy crowds and past several stalls before pausing in front of a candy stall. It had a variety of sweet treats from cotton candy to candied fruits, lollipops and more. With the money they've been saving by dressing up, Saitama figures he could get something for Genos. ]

You should pick something out as a reward. The games in this kinda places are always rigged.

[ If there is something candies have in common, is that they're super pretty. Amezaiku sweets tends to be very expensive, but there is a good variety of pretty, but simpler ones. These won't make wallet cry.

But in the end it's not the candies that catch Genos attention. He reaches to his sleeve - it's so odd to wear sleeve again, yet alone one that has hiding compartment within - to get small coin purse. ]

I'd like two cotton candy. [ He says. The owner of the stall nods and asks which ones ]

.... [ Looking at sensei for help. So they are different kinds? Well, there are different colors true ]

[ Saitama is about to stop Genos from paying when the stall owner's question stumps his disciple.

He looks up above the owner's head where various plastic bags are stuffed with different colors and flavors of cotton candy. Saitama recognizes some of the cartoon characters printed onto the bags from tv shows that King would show him. The best part about festivals was that there were usually flavors that you couldn't easily find during the rest of the year.

There were the typical flavors, strawberry, raspberry, bubblegum, green tea, and vanilla. However there were also some rather unique flavors such as pomegranate, lychee, coconut, earl grey, and even mango chili. A sticker on each bag denoted the flavor.

Saitama gave a quick explanation of the flavors to Genos, except for some of the more outlandish ones he'd never tried before. ]

I'm gonna go with strawberry. [ It was a classic flavor and a safe bet. While Saitama had saved some cash for today, he wasn't about to blow it on mango chili. ] Which one do you want? [ He pulls his wallet out and swats at Genos' hand to signal that's willing to pay. ]

[ Strawberry is going to be obvious good treat, they always are. Also Saitama being more experienced in art of festivals knew what is a good choice. But there was still plenty to choose from. ]

I'll go for green tea. [ Genos decides finally and grumpily hides his wallet. He'll have chance to be the one paying later this evening. The chance to spoil his sensei will come, surely! ]

[ They receive a pink and green cotton candy, and Genos can't help but be childishly impressed by them. Until it gets messy, and he gets it on his nose and even forehead. ]

Ah, it's sticking everywhere.

[ Saitama eats his cotton candy absentmindedly while they walk together through the festival. He had devoured his frozen banana in one bite once they received their cotton candy. Despite his lax personality, he is careful with how he eats the sugary treat. Unlike his disciple.

Saitama turns to look at Genos and can barely hold back from cracking up. ]

Pfft. Genos it looks like you got snot all over yourself. [ He points at the green splotches on Genos' face, particularly his nose. ] How did it even get there?

[ Genos glares at Saitama as he tries to get rid of the offending treat from his face. He lets out a frustrated sound as he notices it started to glue strands of hair together. ]

Argh, this is clearly a kind of treat made specifically for sensei [ having hair is a hazard while eating it. He figures finally to keep the stick more horizontally and avoid getting cotton candy everywhere on his face... but he'll be searching for a bathroom as soon as he's done with it. ]

Hey! What's that supposed to mean?! [ He glares at Genos and lightly pushes him. About as lightly as you can push a massive metal man. ]

You don't have hair that can get in the way. [ Does he really needs to spell that out? He even points at his bangs who are glued together with the green sugar ]

Alright that's it! [ He angrily grabs the cotton candy out of Genos' grasp. ] Go clean the mess outta your stupid full head of hair then! You can have this back when you're done.

[ He points in the general direction of the bathrooms he remembered passing earlier. ]

I will! [ he would salute and sir! if this was his schtick. It isn't but it's close. He runs off to the bathrooms and...

there is queue, great. One of the guys recognize him, and wants an autograph for his kids. Other sneers at him for not being impressive enough and tries to be an ass. Ultimately he fails but it's still annoying to watch. When Genos finally gets to the sink and has enough water to get the sugar off his hair, much more time passed than he expected.

And when he leaves Saitama is nowhere to be found. ]

Sensei? Sensei! [ Genos walks around, scanning the area, looking for his teacher. He must be here somewhere ]

Really it was just an accident. I'm not into her. [ Saitama explained again, exasperated.

Shortly after Genos had left, Saitama wandered around by himself near the outskirts of the grounds. He hadn't been paying attention and ended up bumping into some girl from behind. The cotton candy in his hands got stuck and tangled in her hair and back. He tried to help clean it off, but that resulted in the pig-faced girl screaming for her boyfriend.

Which is how Saitama ends up here, surrounded by a bunch of brutish looking guys. ]

'Oh so now you're calling my Miki-chan ugly?!'
'Wah~ He tried feeling me up~ He's so creepy!'

Uh... look I didn't try anythin'. I'm just waiting for a friend.

[ Genos feels very protective over his sensei, so when he finds him in trouble, he have to intervene ]

Leave my sensei alone.[ he says in very serious and intimidating tone, while barging between Saitama and the couple ]

You are beneath any interest my sensei could give you, begone right now.

[ Saitama was listening to the couple drone on before Genos interrupts them. ]

Oh! Hey, Genos. There you are. [ Saitama's focus is entirely on his friend now that he returned. The thugs were never a threat to him, so he is content in completely ignoring them now. Much to their dismay. ]

Listen while you were gone I kinda...
'Hey who the hell do you think you guys are?!'
bumped into some girl
'Oi! He's ignoring us!!'
and your cotton candy ended up getting stuck all over her.
'I'll teach you to ignore me you--!!'
I figured we could get you another or share min-- [ He's cut off by the thug who tried to charge at him. Instead the bumbling idiot trips on a small rock and falls. The thug reaches out catch himself... and ends up with a full handful of Saitama's cotton candy... dragging it to the dirty ground with him. ]

Shut up, don't you see, you're bothering my sensei! [ Genos just.... lashes out at them, shooting death glares everywhere

It only makes the girl blush ]

Oh, is that...Demon Cyborg???
Get out of my sight
You think I can get his autograph?
Have your hearing checked, we don't want you around!
Hon, ignore this dick, we have better things to do
You should pay for the damages you've done!!

[ he obviously means the cotton candy, but the guy looks way too panicked to listen ]

[ Crap. Why can't they ever go out somewhere fun without causing a scene or getting into trouble?

Saitama wanted to be paid back for the cotton candy that guy just wrecked, but he did ruin that girl's hair and top with Genos' cotton candy. Was it even alright to ask to be paid back?

...

Helly yeah it was. ]

Look, you don't even have to replace the green tea one, just my strawberry. It's cheaper anyways. [ He's leaning over the thug who is now on the ground, cowering from Genos. ] You're the one who made a huge scene and tried to bully me over nothin'.

[ Genos leans over in similar fashion, hands on his hips, still glaring. The girl is too busy making photos of them, or maybe even taking the video, to help her boyfriend ]

You heard him. Buy the candy, or pay up.

This is an assault! That's it, I'm calling the security over your ass. You're just a dipshit with no authority here

And you're a mouth in search of a fist!

[ The guy moves away from them, pulls out a wallet and angrily throws a coin at them, then grabs the girl by her arm and leaves, yelling something about freaks and idiots. Genos picks up the coin from the ground. It's 500 yen. ]

Look sensei, we can buy you five cotton candies for this.

[ But it's never so easy, is it? A security guards pops up suddenly. Seems they come in pairs too. ]

What is this commotion about?

Ah, yeah. I guess we can. [ He holds the coin in his hand. He feels a little bad about how much the situation escalated, but in the end he got paid back for his lost cotton candy. That's all that really matters right?

At least until the security guards show up. ]

Crap... listen, we just wanted them to pay us back for wrecking our cotton candy. [ He points to the smashed cotton candy on the ground. ]

'Hm! They passed by us screaming and running. Are you sure you're being truthful with us?'

Huh? Yeah, look! [ He holds out the coin. ] They paid us back with this it's fine.

'Listen here. There are families here. We don't need a couple of thugs here roughing innocent couples up for their spare change. We're going to have to escort you off the premises.'

What?! We didn't do anything like that! [ Saitama was not very good at explaining his case and security didn't really seem to trust the weird bald guy and his partner in crime. ]

You misunderstand! It was those people who started it. They were the ones assaulting-- [ Genos tries to explain things calmly, but he's annoyed. And when he's annoyed, he naturally looks a bit intimidating. The security guards don't take that well ]

'Come on big boy, don't make a fuss. Behave nicely, and we won't have to slap you a fine.'
