Fleur City

The group ran over to Grim.

"Now see here, Grim! It is unacceptable for you to make trouble for my liege!" Sebek scolded sternly

However, Grim ignored him completely, eyes glued to something ahead, frozen in place.

(y/n) tilted her head in slight confusion. Walking over, she knelt down beside him. "What are you looking at, Grim?"

"Red, white, red, white, red, white, red, white..." He muttered in a daze

Jamil furrowed his brow, noting Grim's behavior. "He's not even blinking... What's he muttering?"

"Red, white, red, white, red, white, red white red white red white red white re-whi-re-whi-reh... MRAAAH!" Grim suddenly shrieked, startling (y/n) and the rest.

"I can't stop watchin' this spinny thing... It's makin' me dizzy!"

Everyone turned toward what Grim was referring to. A single red-and-white striped post stood in front of the building.

"Are you referring to this post right here?" Riddle asked for confirmation

"That's a barber pole. They typically indicate a barber shop" Trein explained

Jamil peered through the nearby window. "I can see the staff in white uniforms standing next to old, fancy red chairs inside. With all that on top of using a barber's pole in this day and age, it must be pretty old fashioned operation"

"You think so?" Sebek chimed in.. "Barber shops in Briar Valley all look similar to this one. Seeing it rather takes me back... I wonder if my old barber is still fairing well. I used to go in twice a month"

"Twice a month?" Jamil raised an eyebrow in surprise. "That's a lot of barber visits. My sister only goes once a month for a trim"

Sebek puffed out his chest with pride, "A proper guard of Malleus-sama must always be properly groomed!"

Trein nodded approvingly, "I approve of how immaculate your hair always is, Zigvolt. Many of our students could learn from your example"

Sebek stood straighter, clearly pleased. "It's the least I could do in service to such a noble figure! How often did you get your haircut back home, Jamil-senpai?"

"I've been growing my hair out since middle school," Jamil replied. "So I didn't visit the barber too often. I'd get the ends evened out once every few months at most. It's more work to take care of my hair, though"

"Even so, you really take good care of it. Your hair is beautiful" (y/n) said with a warm smile

Jamil flushed slightly, his expression softening. "Thank you, (y/n)."

Then, with a teasing smirk, he turned to Riddle. "If anyone here is stringent about their appearance, it's Riddle. What would you do about your hair in the Queendom of Roses?" He turned to Riddle.
