Episode 5: A Day Off At Oasis

Another puzzling introduction, as a girl is playing with a cat when she turns to see a man with the same hair colour wave. She smiles and walks towards him using a walking stick.

At the Oasis headquarters, everyone is eating breakfast, when Minette comes down and sits at the table. At that moment Garnet appears saying she is bored because she hadn’t been summoned. Garnet wants to go on a quest; however no one has submitted a quest for the clan. So it looks like a day off for the Oasis clan. Minette wants to play with Leicester but he is busy as is the rest of the clan, so suggest that Minette plays with Garnet today.

Nina asks Minette a favour, because since the Oasis clan is busy, Nina asks Minette to go grocery shopping for tonight’s curry with Garnet. Minette accepts.

A cunning disguise

Minette sets off with Garnet with the list, being complimented as she goes. Hiding in an alleyway is the Tortilla sisters with Golem, following her with disguises, with Salsa’s being a false moustache and funny glasses. Minette arrives at the grocery store except they haven’t got any potatoes, however he directs the girls to another grocery store that sells them. He draws them a map but Minette ends up going the wrong way as pointed out by Ritos. Minette then ends up in an alleyway lost, but then some music catches her ear which she follows and ends up at the central square, where she finds that the music is coming from Agnes’s street performance.

Very inconspicuous

Minette continues on and finds Carina outside the Great Church. Carina is meeting Chelsea, but she hasn’t arrived. Minette asks Carina where the Grocery store is; Carina asks Montecchia, but doesn’t know. Carina then remembers, as it is fairly a new store that just opened. Meanwhile, in hiding the Tortilla sisters (and golem) are still following Minette, but end up getting caught by two guards, who are suspicious of them. Salsa pleads that they are not doing anything wrong, but Ritos and Golem have gone and left her, so ends up being dragged away because of her odd disguise.

Minette arrives at the docks and gets some of the groceries on the list. With only meat left to buy, they then bump into Chelsea, who has in fact got herself lost even though she had a map. Garnet offers to take Chelsea to the Great Church leaving Minette alone to complete the shopping. Salsa catches up with Ritos and Golem after being interrogated, furious after being ditched back there.

Lost again

Minette walks down another alleyway and sees a girl collapsed in the middle of the path. The girl says she is fine and that she had just a dizzy spell, the girl introduces herself as Miriam (This is also the girl that was in the beginning of the episode). The Tortilla sisters are hiding behind Golem, who is selling drinks at a stand, wondering whether Minette should or shouldn’t have stopped to help Miriam, when suddenly Leicester taps Salsa on the shoulder.

One lemonade and a tortilla with Salsa, please

Minette and Miriam end up talking, with Miriam wanting to hear stories of the quests that Minette has been on. Minette realises that she has forgotten the shopping. Miriam leads her down a shortcut but comes across a kitten trapped on a window ledge. Minette goes up to rescue the kitten, however ends up falling off the boxes, but Leicester jumps out and catches her. Minette and the kitten are fine but Minette is in her underwear as her skirt got caught on one of the boxes. Leicester puts his coat round her and fetches her skirt for her. Minette then returns the kitten to its owner, who is grateful. Miriam then parts ways and goes home, when Minette realise in all the excitement she had forgot to buy the meat.

Hello Kitty

They return to the headquarters with Minette tearful that she wasn’t able to buy the meat. However the rest of the clan are ok with this as they can just make vegetable curry instead. Just then, the Tortilla sisters arrive with some meat as it turns out that the kitten belonged to the butcher and the meat was a thank you present to Minette. Nina accepts that Minette has completed her quest which makes her very happy. Chelsea and Garnet arrive back at the headquarters exhausted; being that it is a long story. Carina then invites the Tortilla sisters for dinner, which Salsa initially accepts but Ritos reminds her that they are archrivals, which then Salsa refuses the offer which Ritos then accepts the invite for dinner.

Well this episode introduces a new character, Miriam and quite possibly will see her brother as well. The Oasis clan seems to be very relaxed in letting Minette go on her own around town, hmmm just don’t know about the protecting her thing and oh yeah we can establish that Chelsea cannot read maps.
