[There sure are a ton of pizzas: the vending machine may only have pineapple and pepperoni and cheese, but there's an unlimited amount of other toppings that can be added, and he's also mixed some of the existing toppings up. It looks like there's mashed potato, pickles, fried chicken and bits of various breads from the konbini, and even some meatballs from the Tarkea.
He's certainly not covered the entire city immediately, but he's done a fair swathe of it, apparently just in search of things to spice up this vending machine pizza. Perhaps??
Hans is just going to deposit all of this on the nearest flat surface and start munching away.]
Yer the one who set a task for the food machines, weren't ya? Hurry up an' get yer appetite to work, then, meow.
[You've been Drafted for this task.]

[Are you telling me you'd turn your nose up at karaage pizza?? Which Hans is totally starting off with, because a slice just vanishes as soon as the box is set down.]
Well, I was goin' to suggest an eating contest, but...
[He licks off a hand and then ruffles it through his hair, so perhaps it's just as well he's put the pizzas down at this point and that they're all packaged.]
Don't think I've ever done anything as refined as a taste test team-up. That what you do in yer spare time?

From what I've figured, this type o' food is still good after ya let it sit for a day.
[This is not what he should have learned about vending machines or pizza or vending machine pizza. Help.
Nevertheless: he pushes the karaage pizza at White Tiger.]
Anyways, we just gotta eat the same thing an' give our recommeowndations, eh? This one's a 8!

You have to put it in the fridge if you're going to save it for later. It preserves the flavor.
[But they will eat the karaage pizza, sure. White Tiger doesn't really complain about food and will eat most anything put in front of them.]
Mmm, it's alright, but actual karaage is better. 7 out of 10.

Oh?? There was at least a slice all out in the hotel for a day or more an' it seemed just fine.
[His standards are. Hm. But anyway, that makes two of them without any real scruples on food, so this taste test-slash-food appreciation fest is just the blind leading the blind towards more snacks.
Hey, it works.]
Meow, ain't it just karaage plus something extra? So you're sayin' one plus one don't give you a two at least?

How 'bout you? Yer a cat talkin' to a cat, you should know by now we're the ones who work best in the dark.
[He's just cheerfully flopped over wherever the nearest flat surface is, because also talking while upright or otherwise appropriately positioned (or eating while upright, because he's torn into one of the anpans while they were like hey you) is overrated.
He tosses over some random bread flavor, take your pick because he did not buy these discerningly at all, as all the random food lying around the dorm suggests.]
Speaking o' which, how'd your work go?

[They catch the random bread flavor! It can be melon, because that's delicious.]
Some good and some bad. On the good side, we kept nearly all of you out of prison. On the bad side, well. You know.
[Opening the bread to eat it while standing.]
I couldn't get a straight answer from anyone as to why the execution had been ordered. Everyone just said "someone important ordered it". That 'someone' wasn't the mayor either, I already checked.

[Melonpan really is the classic, even if most of these flavors are new to Hans because what is this crazy variety of bread to pre-Industrial Age fantasy societies. The isekai flavor is so real.]
Seems to me like whoever's runnin' this show is a bit too eager to pin things on us, hmm? Not even just a one or a two, but the whole [sudden cymbal noise] lot of us in one go. Meow...
[Maybe it is a symptom of what sort of day it is that he keeps getting startled by cursed noises today??? It is better than slot machine noises, but only just.]
... Mayor's not really the one in charge, then. [not surprising given his...... mayorness] You ever gotten that impression before?

The mayor is more of a figurehead. He's likable, but not good at his job.
[White Tiger will speak their mind :|]
I can only imagine that there's someone close to the mayor who is secretly a villain and who wants to get rid of all the new heroes quickly. Why else blame everyone for the actions of one? But it can't be proven without evidence.

Always good to have a figurehead that's easy to blame an' hard to punish. Makes it a lot easier to get away with things in the back, meow.
[Hans tilts his head; his bread-blissed expression hasn't really changed, but he's got a pleased sort of air in general.]
Somebody close to the Mayor and got their hands in the justice an' enforcement system, at least. Seems to me like they're pretty confident in their position, too, if they're makin' big moves like this right off.
Question is: why us an' why not you guys?

Hrmeow... Thing is, we ain't been here long enough to tell, but they really moved pretty awful quick with all this rounding up an' trial an' execution business. You're all sayin' it's something new an' weird, but the way I see it, it coulda been something set up anytime they were lookin' at getting new faces in.
So, which part's new, which part's old? How're we even gettin' in and the villains gettin' out?
Seems shady all around.

We also have only been here six months. If someone has been setting this up for longer, they could have been biding their time for the right moment. And unfortunately, the 'right moment' is when the rest of you arrive.
It might also be that the additional people make it harder to act as a large group. The eight leaders can at least be a cohesive group and trust each other. I can't say the same for everyone else. Feeding into those group fractures may be the plan.

[Wow, Tiger hunting on hard mode?? Don't mind if he does.
There's still plenty of fish in the fridge, so he's going to grab some of that (some raw and some cooked for aroma) along with toys or blankets or other portable things the cats use regularly. The best way to catch a tiger by the tail is to go for the friendlier assistants first!
Certified Hans school of thought (he just likes the cats the most).
So here he is, flitting across the city with all the things, checking trees and rooftops and whatnot -- he's going to start with the dorms and the initial non-S.U.P.E.R. required area.]

[Well, that just means the rest of this tiger hunt is going to result in increasing numbers of stray cats, isn't it. Is he the Pawed Piper now -- this is a real danger and it's entirely your fault, Invisible Tiger!!!
Hans has plenty of fish, after all, so he distributes some and instructs his cat companions to be on the lookout -- for either a tiger mask or some specific cats! It's debatable whether the cats will listen or understand but it's all about building up an atmosphere.
He'll check the rest of the dorms as well and ask around a bit to see if anyone knows where a certain hero boss went before heading for the S.U.P.E.R. if necessary.]

[Scoreee, his cat army is growing and now there are local cat generals(?!) to lead the charge. The three kitties get a good share of fish and pets before they get snuck out to scout around for their bigger meowster.
Is the library going to accept his army of like 15 + 3 cats or however many are wandering around hoping for snacks or pets or cat toys now.]

[Odds are no, they will try to keep the stray cats out.
But the three domesticated cats will nyoom right it and head right towards a quiet area in the back of the library, where White Tiger is sitting at a table. How dare you use Tiger's babies against them.]
How did you get them out of the dorm?
