[Indeed, Manjoume does have to do his own grocery shopping--ever since graduating from school and trying to get involved in the pro leagues, he no longer has any access to his family's money, on account of his brothers being... not particularly happy that he didn't want them greasing the wheels into society than earning the right to be there. But you know what they suck anyway, so fuck them.
So, no more servants that he could send to get him food or cook, he has to go to the grocery store to take care of himself... and his wayward spirits haunting him. The Ojamas can't actually eat his food but they sure do have opinions on which sugary snack he should get and argue "No, Boss, get that other brand, it has even more colors in it!"]
Who cares about colors, that doesn't affect anything about the taste for this one, you morons...
[And then his hand nearly comes in contact with another person's reaching it for something, and he mentally kicks himself. Not because he almost touched some stranger, but because to most normal people, he probably looks like he's talking to himself...]
Ah, no, you can have it, I don't really need it that...
[And then he pauses upon properly processing her words.]
... wait, friends? What friends?
["Hey don't gloss over the fact that she also said cute!"]
[Don't worry, the Ojamas got you covered there--all three of them put both of their tiny hands on Evangeline's and make a wiggling motion to indicate trying to move her hand up and down in a handshake, before Ojama Yellow then gestures to their human partner.
"And this is our Aniki, the great and amazing Manjoume Thunder!! Don't let his surly face fool you, he's as kind and gentle as a mongoose!", which gets a glare from Manjoume here.]
It's Manjoume-san people should be using when outside of the dueling arena... and that's not the cool compliment you idiots think it is!
[He mutters under his breath, but then he sighs because... he's used to people not using the honorific for him. Instead he waves a hand at the Ojamas dismissively.]
Trust me, there's nothing to be jealous about when it comes to having to be haunted by these ugly little gremlins. They're also not very bright and constantly like to jabber about some of the stupidest ideas they can think of.
["Don't be so mean Boss, that suggestion about somehow inventing bread you can eat while in the shower was not that stupid..." "Or maybe he's talking about when we were suggesting using his tea spoon to keep ourselves from drowning while bathing in one of the mugs he left in the kitchen sink..."]
Wait, when was that even--you know what, never mind, I'm glad I wasn't paying attention to whatever conversation you were having that included that.
[He says with a gesture as if to say "Do you see what nonsense I have to put up with?"]
["Uhhhh, Boss, you're not actually considering it, are you? I mean, we're your super cool ace monsters for dueling--" but Manjoume puts a hand up to shush them because this is the first time anyone has ever offered to take the Ojamas off his hands for him.]
Are you a duelist, or a card collector or something? Why would you want these guys around even with... you know.
Not really - I mean, I played a little in high school. [You know, the normal time to play children's card games.]
They're just my type, is all.
[Even Evangeline knows not to go into detail in front of someone who has clearly never thought of his duel spirits as sexual beings. -Unless he asks more questions, then she'll be happy to elaborate.]
Manjoume Jun has now experienced a mental blue screen of death. Give him a moment to regain brain power to properly confront what is happening here...
There's a pause as the Ojamas seem to realize that she seems serious too, and for a moment they turn to each other to huddle up... albeit, they are not too smart to think that maybe they should whisper as they discuss it, and thus can be clearly heard saying things like:
"C--can you believe it guys?" "Someone actually likes us like that!" "Like how the Boss used to crush on and write poetry about Miss Asuka?" "Oh god, I haven't been in the dating game for so long, do girls still like bikinis, I'm pretty sure we got plenty of those to offer as a courting gift..." "Is that how it's done? That would explain why the Boss hasn't gotten a date yet, he never tried that tactic before..." "See, this is why we're here to advise him on these things with our infinite wisdom, but for now..."
They turn their attention back to Evangeline and it seems Ojama Yellow has taken it upon themselves to be the designated leader for leading the conversation here.]
[That seems to get Manjoume alert again as he immediately responds.]
Absolutely not. I refuse to be a part of any dating these three are getting involved with.
[The Ojamas, however, frown for a moment.]
"I'm not sure how to make this work, though. Our spirits are linked pretty closely to the Boss's soul, so we can't really go that far away from him." "Maybe... it'll be fine if we're at least in the same building? The Boss can have his coffee and we can go hang out with Evangeline at a different table?" "We could always try borrowing his body, but I haven't tried that in years so I don't know if that would work again... especially not by myself, it'd probably require all three of us to be able to move more than just the arms..."
Oh, hell no, you three are not possessing me. I'm vetoing that suggestion right now.
Gee, thanks. See if I actually go along with this farce enough to even allow that much...
[He says, rolling his eyes. Suddenly, one of the Ojamas makes a gesture of fist meeting palm of their other hand, as if struck by inspiration.]
"Wait, I got it. We could also try to fuse and become Ojama King too if it seems like being in the same building isn't enough either." "Oh my god, that's the smartest thing you've ever said, brother." "Doesn't that require a lot of energy and concentration though?" "No no, it's fine, when you've got the three of us working together, we can do anything!"
For the love of--why is this what gets you three to act so confident, how about showing some of that for, you know, our job? The thing that helps pays for these snacks you asked for?
"Listen Boss, you'll understand when you find love yourself some day."
[At that, Manjoume throws his hands up into the air in exasperation and begins stomping away out of the aisle so that he can finally attempt to finish grocery shopping...]
He just feels a little left out, you should be extra nice to him later. Here's my number.
[She'll jot it down on a piece of paper for them - either they're corporeal enough to take it or she's going to have to convince Manjoume to take it later when he stops sulking.]
So you can fuse? What does that look like, are you big?
[Unfortunately, you'll probably have to make Manjoume take it before he checks out, at least for now. Thankfully, he hasn't left yet, he can be heard in the next aisle over grumbling as he tries to pretend nothing is happening while picking out some soup. They do at least have the foresight to watch her write the number down as well... but no telling if they won't forget it later, they are Ojamas after all, and all of their brain cells instead go to the question at hand.]
"Yeah! Check it out, and you'll see just why we're called the Ojama King."
[The three brothers huddle up close together, cheek to cheek as they begin suddenly rapidly spinning in the air until... boom! The very large duel spirit known as Ojama King has taken their place and is indeed what the kids call "thicc" these days as they are wide enough to take up more than the entire aisle they're currently in.
For a second Manjoume can be heard going "For fucks sake, at least float above the aisle so people won't have to walk through your crotch..." in the other aisle, which they allow the slightest amount of floating for that before they respond to Eva, sounding like three voices speaking at once.]
[Ojama King even winks and gives a thumbs up in response to that.]
"Should've said it sooner, but you're also pretty good-looking yourself. And you don't even need to fuse like we do to make that happen, you're already three times as good looking as it is."
[Thankfully, Manjoume has made the wise decision to go somewhere else in the store where he can't hear any more flirting for the sake of his sanity. I, meanwhile, am forced to continue bearing witness to Ojamas attempting to flirt.]
"So, what's your idea of a good time? Gotta make sure it's a nice date you'll love after all if we're gonna set one up, after all."

no subject
And I totally agree, the cute part is very important.
no subject
[Well then. For now he is still ignoring the "cute" thing for the sake of his sanity, as he tries to speak again.]
They're duel spirits, and--
["We can take it from here, Boss! I'm Ojama Yellow!"
"Ojama Green!"
"Ojama Black!"
"And together we'rrrrreeee the Ojama Brothers!!"
The trio pose together in a... not really that flattering pose as far as Manjoume is concerned, so he ends up rolling his eyes.]
no subject
[She holds her hand out for a shake - how that's going to work with three of them is anybody's guess.]
no subject
"And this is our Aniki, the great and amazing Manjoume Thunder!! Don't let his surly face fool you, he's as kind and gentle as a mongoose!", which gets a glare from Manjoume here.]

Are you a duelist, or a card collector or something? Why would you want these guys around even with... you know.
["... Boss, you just gestured to all of us."]
no subject
They're just my type, is all.
[Even Evangeline knows not to go into detail in front of someone who has clearly never thought of his duel spirits as sexual beings. -Unless he asks more questions, then she'll be happy to elaborate.]

"Yeah, we are... all three of us, I mean."
no subject
[No, even knowing that Manjoume is also single, she is not remotely interested in inviting him along.]
But if I could get you three alone, we could have a good time together.
no subject
Absolutely not. I refuse to be a part of any dating these three are getting involved with.

no subject
[Evangeline continues to have the taste of all time, as she actually blushes a little looking at their fused form and fans her face.]
You look fantastic.
no subject
Ignore Manjoume, he's clearly just jealous. Ojama King grins even wider before speaking again.]
"You really think so?"
no subject
[math!]
no subject
[Ojama King even winks and gives a thumbs up in response to that.]
"Should've said it sooner, but you're also pretty good-looking yourself. And you don't even need to fuse like we do to make that happen, you're already three times as good looking as it is."
