I really enjoyed Bloom Into You and absolutely loved Regarding Saeki Sayaka (seriously go read the LN if you haven't). 

I also really liked that there was a special in Volume 6 of the manga that gave us a glimpse into Riko-sensei and Miyako's life together. But I am greedy and would absolutely love an expanded story around their relationship! It's nice to see more adult relationships every once in a while too!

Riko, going away for a bit: I’m gonna miss you.

Miyako, eyes watering: I’ll miss you too.

Riko: *pulls her in for a hug*

Miyako: Okay now I’m gonna make everyone think you’re my Uber driver

Riko: Not again-

Miyako, pushing her off: ALRIGHT FINE I’LL GIVE YOU FIVE STARS

Hello there Riko Hakozaki fans.

[silkquake]

I don’t think I ever posted this here. My piece from 3 or so years ago for the Bloom Into You zine: Miyako visiting Hakozaki-sensei at work.

Title: Quitting smoking

Ship: Miyako x Riko (Bloom into you)

Summary: Riko knows how respectful Miyako is when it comes to smoking. She also knows this is one of those times in which she’s worried about something and only she can help her

Words: 1k

Sneak peek:

“- Sorry. Did I bother you?

Miyako apologizes first, exhaling another puff of smoke, before she puts out the cigarette in the small ashtray in her hand.

- Don’t worry about it. Now want to tell me why are you here so early and with this cold, instead of in bed keeping me warm?

Riko asks her instead as she rests her chin on her girlfriend’s shoulder, leaving a light kiss on Miyako’s cheek seeing her smiling softly.

- I was just… thinking.”

[soupysuki]

Well, good. Take as long as you need.

[p5x-theories]

@loufiy sent me this GitHub folder they found with what appears to be decrypted versions of some of the BYTES files I can't open myself, and there's some potential new story information in here!

Two disclaimers:

As I can't decrypt these myself, I can't absolutely confirm they're real. However, considering how many of these files there are, and the fact that I can see these files exist in the game files even if I can't open them, it would be an awful lot of trouble for a fake.

Note that these files are from Version 1.3.1, according to the poster. Some things here may have changed since then, and/or Google translate may not give completely accurate translations of everything.

As a warning, this could be considered spoilers for the next story arc, as it goes through what the in-game text indicates will happen.

I'm focusing on the ConfQuest files, as those are the ones loufiy pointed me in the direction of. There's so many other files in this folder that it'd take me forever to look through all of them- it'd be a bit of a needle in a haystack situation, haha. So I appreciate them giving me a direction!

The animal girl's quest is marked as "obsolete", along with the original version of the orange cat's quest. Given the cat's quest was redone and re-added, this probably means they're reworking the girl's quest to add in later. It looks like this may be the case for one of the other side quest characters as well?

Interestingly, the Shibuya mascot's quest, the blonde Shinjuku man's quest, and Kazuhiko Tsuda's quest are all not marked as obsolete, despite not being available in-game at the moment

"Concerto for Rule-Breakers"- the next story arc- has quests listed here despite them not being implemented in the game yet. It seems a new teacher will be introduced at Kokatsu, 明石 (probably Akashi?), and reacts oddly towards Ms. Katayama. Later, in Mementos, the shadow that Wonder and Cattle fought when leaving Mementos for the first time reappears, and they have to defeat it again. It rains the next day, and Wonder runs into Riko on the way to school. The new teacher is formally introduced to the school, but now Katayama is acting weird. Another day passes, and it's unclear exactly what happens- other than Wonder eating lunch with Shun on the roof- but the text for that evening says some "unpleasant things" happened that day. The day after that, Katayama gets in trouble, and Mr. Hakozaki substitutes in for her class. The next day passes, and Wonder talks to Riko. The Phantom Thieves go to Mementos again to look for the next Palace. Apparently they find it, as the next quest says they found the new teacher's Shadow in Katayama's Palace? After that, Shun invites them to eat at Toraiken, and the next quest says Wonder learned some things about Katayama that day. The next day Wonder sees Riko talking to Katayama. More time passes, and the Phantom Thieves gather on the rooftop to discuss Katayama; a quest mentions her "past mistakes" she's being punished for. The day after that Wonder apparently made plans to meet up with Riko in Kichijoji, which Motoha and Shun join him for. After they talk, Riko apparently wants to get more information about the new teacher, leading to Wonder talking to the teacher as a distraction. This sounds like it goes well, and they meet back up with Riko at the cafe in Kichijoji, then head into Mementos after that. Later, Riko and Wonder go to the Student Guidance Room together, while Shun and Motoha have a conversation elsewhere in the school, and it seems they manage to gain some information from the new teacher's laptop. The next day has Wonder meeting up with Shun and Motoha, but then the following quest mentions they all return to Shibuya safely, and Riko asks them about the "other world". This day ends, and Wonder visits the Velvet Room in his sleep, then wakes up in the morning to no Ruferu. At school, Riko apparently asks people about the Palace. Motoha adds her to their group chat. They end up meeting up at a bar in Shinjuku, and after that, talk to Katayama herself. This conversation causes Riko to speculate there may be two Palace rulers in the Palace. At school the next day, the school summons everyone to the gym, and after, the Phantom Thieves discuss the new teacher's change of heart. Meanwhile, Polter is in Yongen-Jaya, with a weird app on her phone.

TLDR for the new plot: A new teacher comes to Kokatsu, and though it's Katayama's Palace that the Phantom Thieves find, the new teacher seems to have a Shadow in there as well. Riko gets involved after the real Katayama gets in trouble at school, and eventually helps them gain even more information about the situation when they access the new teacher's laptop. This endeavor seems to lead to Riko joining the team. After eventually causing the new teacher to have a change of heart, Riko speculates there's actually a second Palace ruler involved with this Palace.

Felt like editing some Bloom Into You because it's one of my favourite sapphic animes and I'm still manifesting a Season 2.
