Dbd killers X gn!Reader
Tiktok on my foryou really fueled my writer-self and i'm not even sorry.
"Killer chases MC. MC gets cornered or sumthin and as the killer catches up, MC grabs him by his shirt/jacket/hoodie/thing, slams him into the wall behind him, tears his mask down and kisses him while leaning their full body weight on the killer.
Killer is like 🧍‍♂️
While MC just 🏃 to the hatch/gate."
Enjoy this silly thing and ignore any mistake I might made. English isn't my first language lol
-----------------------------------------
Ghostface:
You were the only one left. Meg was moried for looping Ghostface for too long and it pissed the killer off. Steve sacrificed himself to save you, since he was already injured and pushed you to run away while he got the killer's attention. Élodie finished the third generator before getting caught, and at that moment the only other survivour was you, who was getting chased by the Ghostface.
You got injured, but got away quick enough to heal yourself, hearing the entity finishing off poor Élodie on the other side of the map. You felt bad, since you could've saved her if it weren't for the killer lurking around the corner of the police station.
You huffed as you finished bandaging your arm and slowly started walking down the dark hallway, not making any sound in case Ghostface was near.
But luck wasn't on your side of course, since he appeared out of nowhere in front of you from the other room and you, by sheer luck got ahold of his shoulders and slammed him against the wall next to you, pinning him there.
You were shocked, as well as him, but to confuse him even further, you pulled his mask up to his nose and kissed him, while putting your whole body weight on him.
He dropped his knife in shock and just stood there, frozen in place. He didn't have enough time to react properly.
The kiss ended a few seconds later and you were gone, running down the hallway, to the main entrance, luckily finding the hatch there, making your escape easier than you thought ever was possible.
Even when you got back you brushed your fingertips against your lips, remembering Ghostface's taste. It was sweet and had an undertone of smoke. He's a smoker, but loves sweets, especially caramel.
The next time you met him, let it be trial or not, he gave you the same treatment, making the kiss last longer with lingering touches of his fingertips brushing down your spine, holding your face and touching your hips.
What was between the two of you was never talked about, but it was obvious for anyone that it was more than a game of cat and mouse.
The Legion, Frank:
One of the gate was already open, Yoichi got injured, but escaped.
Yui out ran the killer and got out as well and Feng was sacrificed already. Poor girl was trying to heal herself, since she had a medkit but made the mistake of making a noise, which alerted the killer.
That left you running from the Legion, trying desperately to get to the gate or at least find the hatch.
Another ding rang around the whole map, signalling the timer going even lower now and that the enitity is waiting to strike you and punish you for not escaping.
You felt it only once, but it was enough to not want to go through it again.
You jumped through a window, falling down from the second floor, making your landing more painful and slowing you down for a few second, which gave enough time for the Legion to catch up.
He walked toward you with such a cocky confidence that it irritated you. But, you got an idea, which made you seem scared, but actually tensing your muscles to get ready and wait for him to get close enough.
When he did, you grabbed him by the front if his hoodie and slammed him against the hay behind him, making him grunt in surprise.
You yanked his mask down from his face, not even giving him a moment to realize what was going on and you kissed him with so much force his knees buckled, you grip on him the only thing keeping him from falling on the ground.
You heared a whimper from him, but you were too focussed to truely do anything about it, or really realize what he just did.
You heard his weapon slip from his hand and that was the moment you pulled away and ran to the gate that was just a few metres away.
You made it out right before the timer went off, leaving Frank alone while he slowly slid down to sit on the ground and stare before himself in shock while panting and blinking like an idiot.
After he caught up about the whole situation, he had a little grin on his face and touched his lips, still tasting you on them.
He decided to wait for the next time he sees you again to give you a rougher treatment, as a thanks for making him realize something about himself.
Even if that something was a thing he swore he hated. Getting himself slammed against something solid was a new and exciting thing he wanted to explore with only you.
Michael Myers:
The two of you were staring at each other. Neither of you moving an inch, while making sure to note any tiny movement the other was making.
The others were dead already, only three gens done, which was a miracle when the trial was with Michael. With him, every single time only one gen was done, he somehow alway knew where everyone was and what they were doing. He finished everyone off with such quickness that even the Entity couldn't influence his perfect efficency.
Until today.
He was angry, it was obvious from the louder-than-usual huffs he was letting out, his shoulders more tense, his grip on his knife made his knuckles even whiter than his already pale skin was.
Something happened to him and you were the last one left, which meant torture until he was satisfied, not letting the Entity interviene.
Not like she ever did, but that's besides the point.
You held your flashlight, breathing as slowly as you could to try and react in time to at least give the impression that you were trying to run away.
You took a step behind you, there was a window, but even if you could just jump out, he would catch up and most likely make you suffering even more painful.
But you had an idea that Feng talked about jokingly. That is a video she saw where there was a girl running from a killer in a haunted house. But she turned around and slammed the masked killer against the wall, pulled his mask up and kissed him. Which made the killer stunned enough for her to run away.
You knew the element of surprise was everything, but Michael was stronger than a normal human, even stronger in trial. But you had to give it a try, for your escape at least or to gain time to locate the hatch.
You moved fast, jumped out quickly and dropped down, making you grunt but step away, seeing the killer climb out and drop down next to you.
You grabbed the giant man by his arms and with your full body weight, you slammed him against the wall behind him, his knees were bent, which gave you enough room to quickly as you could, pull his mask up and slam your lips against his.
Michael tensed up, his right arm shook with the amount of force be was gripping the knife, but he didn't move.
He was like a statue, too still to be human, but the surprise was enough for you to push him to the wall while you pulled away and ran as fast as you could.
You found the hatch without meeting him again.
You were the first person ever to escape the Shape.
Surprising everyone, being asked questions about the "how" and "why". You didn't explain, you couldn't.
And after that, whenever you had a trial with the Shape, you never saw him, but felt his gaze on you and you were always let go.
Why?...You never really got an answer, but on one part you were glad, and on the other you were embarrassed, since you knew exactly why he never approached you again.
What you didn't know is you became more of an obsession to him than Laurie, but a different kind.
A more possessive and dangerous kind.

So I know there’s probably not that many interested in this, and I really wonder if I should just make a separate blog for the AU related things, but here’s a little about the relationship between Karasu Tengu and Yui’s auntie 🐦‍⬛🐇 in my Chronicles / Rise au (Once in a Blue Moon)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The description in under the cut 🧡✨ (Sorry if some of it might be worded weirdly, English is not my first language. Feel free to correct me).
Miyamoto Kana was a second in line, rebel-child of the family. Inspired by tales of her ancestor’s adventures, she spent most of her time and money travelling and getting into trouble. In her late 30s she got herself attacked while trespassing on a yokai forest and that’s when she met its guardian- Karasu, the Tengu of Justice, that for many centuries has been keeping an eye on the forest and the mystic portal hidden inside it. In the past, once their world became more and more hostile towards the yokai, Karasu used to use said portal to send some of the yokai to the once sparsely populated human world (if they passed her judgement). Karasu, who’ve met Miyamoto Usagi during the Tengu War, once she learns of Kana’s ancestry, allows her to briefly stay in exchange for stories from her travels. The brief stay gets a little longer as Kana has apparently A LOT to say, and she eventually learns Karasu hasn’t left her forest in hundreds of years. She also learns that the portal she’s protecting, opens only for a few weeks, every six years (when the Blue Moon appears) and starts convincing Kara to leave for a little while and join her in her travels.
And that’s basically how they become friends. Karasu shape-shifts into a less threatening form (and sometimes takes a shape of a tall, black hare, that still stands out a lot), and travel together whenever Karasu isnt watching the portal, and they grow closer for years.
Until one year Kana decides she’s kind of tired of having no home of her own (her family home hasn’t been that for a loong time) and asks Karasu to build a dojo with her, just outside her forest. She wants to take in a few kids with nowhere to go and help them get a good start in life. So they do that. The trouble is, they have vastly different idea of how to raise them. Karasu’s insistent on training them so they can help her take care of unruly yokai, giving them a good purpose and respect from the local people. Kana thinks that makes them no better than Neko Ninja- stealing kids to train them into soldiers.
So they fall apart. They find kids new homes, Kana moves out far away and settles on a little farm, and Karasu stays in her forest, still keeping the dojo intact.
(They do see each other every once in a while and eventually become kind of friends again, but it’s really not often. But when Hana’s niece is stuck in a locked-down city, she calls Karasu to help her. But that’s kind of another story : D (a sad one, but it has cute baby Yui in it, so it’s not so bad. I have seperate little comics for it, so it’ll have to wait).

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Kou Ecstasy [03]
Tumblr media
CHAPTER MASTERLIST
ー The scene starts at the shopping district
Yui: Phew...We sure bought a lot.
Kou: Yeah. I’m glad they had everything we wanted.
...Ah. Want to take a taxi? I can imagine you’d be exhausted after being outside for the first time in a while. 
Yui: No, I’m totally fine. If anything, I feel better after getting some fresh air.
Kou: I see. I’m glad to hear that.
Yui: Are you alright? I’m sorry you have to carry all of the bags...
Could you let me carry something as well?
Kou: What are you saying? You might be able to walk around now, but you’re still recovering from your injuries?
Or rather, I couldn’t possibly let a girl carry the bags?
Yui: But...
( I feel kind of bad because he’s done so much for me ever since I came here... )
Kou: Hmー ...Then, can I ask you for one thing?
Yui: Yes, your wish is my command!
Kou: Here, carry this?
Yui: Eh...?
( He’s offering his own hand though...? )
Kou: Come on, hurry.
Yui: ( He wants me to hold (1) hands, right? )
Selection
→ Turn him down (S)
Yui: W-We can’t, not in the public eye...!
Kou: Ehー? Are you embarrassed?
Yui: That too but if somebody were to recognize you, it could get you in trouble, right?
Kou: Don’t worry about that! I’m more than popular enough that a slight scandal won’t affect me too much. 
So, here!
Yui: Okay...
→ Obey and hold his hand (M)
Yui: ( I know we shouldn’t be holding hands out in public but... )
*Rustle rustle* 
Kou: Mmh, thanks for carrying it.
Yui: ( Now that we’re actually holding hands, the embarrassment is kicking in...Yeah, I’ll ask if I can let go again. )
H-Hey, Kou-kun...
Kou: The answer is no. 
Yui: Eh? 
Kou: You can’t just drop what you’re holding onto halfway through, that’d be irresponsible. 
So carry out your duty and carry me all the way home? 
Yui: ( H-He saw right through me... )
ー They start walking
Yui: ( Uu, just as I thought, I feel as if people are watching us... )
¨Rustle* 
Kou: Come on, don’t look at the ground?
Yui: ...Uu.
Kou: You have to keep your head high and walk confidently, or else you’ll only make yourself stand out even more.
Yui: I-I know, so please move aside a little...
Kou: Heeh...? You’re giving me orders now?
Yui: That wasn’t the intention...
Kou: Fine, I’ll keep my distance. 
*Rustle rustle* 
Yui: Ah...
( He let go of my hand... )
Kou: Hm? You look kind of sad? Is there something you want to say, perhaps?
Yui: ...D-Don’t let go of my hand...
Kou: ...Fufu, roger!
*Rustle* 
Kou: First you ask me to step back and then complain about letting go of your hand...
You really are a selfish girl, aren’t you, M-neko-chan?
Yui: Uu...
Kou: ...If only this moment could last forever.
Yui: Eh...?
Kou: No, it’s nothing. Hey...Could you show me your hand holding mine for a sec? 
Yui: ...? Yeah, sure...
ー She lifts up their hands towards his face
Kou: Did you know? They say that kissing the palm of one’s hand symbolizes love and respect...
That’s why, I’ll give you one...Okay?
I love you...Nn. 
*Smooch* 
Yui: ...What did you say just now...?
Kou: Fufu, that’s a secret! Well then, let’s actually go home now.
Yui: ( Kou-kun... )
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー 
Translation notes
(1) In English, the verb ‘hold’ can be used both to refer to holding a physical object like a bag, as well as holding hands. However, in Japanese these words are combined with two entirely different verbs. When you ask someone to hold a bag or another object, you’d use the verb ‘持つ’ (motsu), while ‘to hold hands’ is ‘手を繋ぐ’ or ‘te o tsunagu’ which literally means ‘to connect/link hands’.

You can find Kou's previous chapters in @tournesolia's masterlist linked down below!

PLACE: Miniature Garden Forest Lake
Tumblr media
Kou: ... ... A lake? So there was such a place in this forest.
Yuma: She's gone all this time without eating or drinking anything, she must feel horrible. Let's take a break here for now.
Azusa: You're right. Kou, how is Eve ... ... ?
*Rustle*
Yui: Nn ... ...
Kou: ... ... It seems that she's sleeping. I'd feel bad waking her up, so I'll let her sleep a little longer.
Yuma: If we're going to rest, then I'm going to take a look around the place. Since we've been running around all this time, I have no idea where we are.
Azusa: And we also don't know when Ruki and the others might come after us ... ...
It would be best to prepare to move as soon as Eve wakes up ... ...
Yuma: Well then, Azusa and I will go survey the area.
Azusa: Kou ... ... We entrust Eve to you.
Kou: Yes. You guys be careful too.
*Yuma and Azusa run off, Yui rustles around*
Yui: ... ... Nn, ... ...
Kou: She's sweating a lot ... ...
(She's surely exhausted, but I'm sure that the mental burden is also heavy.)
(As she is a kind girl, she's the one who is the most hurt by seeing brothers fighting among themselves.)
(And as I am the one next to her, I should have noticed ... ...)
... ... Yui, I'm sorry? To think that I wouldn't notice it until you passed out.
I said that I'd protect you, but this isn't enough, is it?
Yui: ... ... Ugh, ... ...
Kou: ... ... ! Did she wake up?
Yui: Ugh ... ... , ha ... ...
Kou: (She's still sleeping ... ... However, she looks pale. And she's also sweating a lot, she has to rehydrate.)
*He walks over to the lake and sets Yui down*
(We're lucky there's a lake here. The water looks clean but ... ... just in case, let's confirm that it's drinkable.)
*He grabs some of the water and drinks it*
Nn ... ... Yeah, this will do.
*He grabs more water and offers it to Yui*
Here, it's water. Can you drink?
Yui: Nn ... ... , ngh ... ... -–
Kou: (It's no use. Even if she wants it to enter her mouth, it just spills back out. She's so weak that she can't even drink ... ...)
In that case ... ...
Tumblr media
Yui: (... ... Nnn ... ... Right now, there's something in my mouth ... ... Is this ... ... water ... ... ?)
(And also ... ... something is hitting my lips ... ... Nnn, there's water flowing again ... ...)
Tumblr media
Yui: ... ... Nn, ... ...
Kou: Did you wake up ... ... ?
Yui: Kou,kun ... ... I ... ... ?
Kou: What a relief ... ... I was giving you some water, do you think you can drink a little more?
Yui: Y-yes ... ...
*He scoops up more water*
Kou: It seems that it will still be difficult for you to drink on your own ... ... Wait just a moment.
*He walks over to her*
Yui: (... ... ? Kou-kun, why is he putting the water in his mouth ... ... ?)
*He comes close to her and feeds her the water*
Tumblr media
Kou: ... ... Nnn ... ...
Yui: Nnn ... ... Nnnnn ... ...
(Eh? Is he giving it to me mouth to mouth ... ... !?)
Tumblr media
Selection:
————————————
-> Let me drink normally ♟
Yui: (It's too embarrassing for him to give me mouth to mouth.)
Kou: Well, could you swallow it?
Yui: Y-yes. Um ... ... From now on, I'd like you to let me drink normally.
Kou: I had to give you mouth to mouth because you couldn't drink normally.
Yui: Ah ... ... I-, I see ... ...
————————————
-> Thank you ♙♡
Yui: (It's embarrassing that he gave me mouth to mouth, but I'm sure I couldn't have drunk otherwise.)
Nn ... ... Thank you. It seems to have gotten easier.
Kou: You're welcome. If you want, I can give you even more to drink?
Yui: T-that won't be necessary!
————————————
Tumblr media
Yui: It seems that I just fell asleep like that ... ... Where are Yuma-kun and Azusa-kun?
Kou: They went to go check the area out. They're fine, so don't worry.
Yui: I see. Thank goodness ... ...
*Yui's stomach rumbles*
... ... !!
(M-my stomach ... ... I didn't think it would make such a loud sound ... ... !)
*He backs off*
Kou: As expected, you're hungry aren't you. You've gone so long without eating anything.
We have water, so next we just need something to eat ... ...
*Yuma and Azusa return*
Tumblr media
Azusa: We're back ... ...
Yui: Azusa-kun, Yuma-kun ... ...!
Azusa: Eve ... ...! You woke up. What a relief ... ...
Yuma: Oh, just in time. Eat this.
Kou: That's ... ... food and medical supplies! What's going on?
Yuma: There was a supply point nearby.
Kou: Eh, all the way out here? That's insanely lucky.
Yui: Supply point?
Kou: Ah, you didn't know that, did you M-neko-chan?
In this land, there are several designated locations where supplies can be delivered.
Yuma: That's where we get the food and supplies we use every day in the mansion.
Yui: W-wait a minute ... ... From where ... ... do they bring them from?
Azusa: Uhhh ... ... I wonder where?
Kou: ... ... About that. When our memories were altered, this became common sense.
Yuma: Just as vegetables are taken from the garden, there was a point where we got supplies. We never questioned it.
But now that our memories are back, imagining things just magically appearing sounds weird.
Yui: I see ... ... So in your altered memories, they went as far to implant that as well ... ...
Azusa: The person who altered our memories ... ... seems to have made preparations to make it easier for everyone to fight ... ...
Yui: Indeed, going out of the way to prepare food and medical supplies is basically telling them to fight.
Yuma: I don't know who orchestrated this situation, but it's disgusting ... ...
Tumblr media
Yui: (Just who was it, and for what purpose? Plus, it's possible that person is watching us right now.)
(The place where we fight ... ... )
*Yui's stomach rumbles*
(N-not again ... ... !!)
Yuma: Your stomach growled real loud.
Azusa: Even at times like this, one gets hungry after all ... ...
Kou: We'll think about all this later! First thing's first, you need to eat up!
Yui: Y-yes ... ...
————————————
Yui's Monologue:
After that, I chose something to eat amongst the food that Yuma-kun and Azusa-kun brought.
After drinking some water and getting some sleep, my body began to show signs of recovery.
Everyone was relieved to see that I was able to move normally again.
I expressed my gratitude to them all–-.
————————————
Tumblr media
Kou: Food is one thing, but drinking water is important.
Azusa: Even if we don't have food, as long as we have water we can survive for a while ... ...
Yuma: In that case, wouldn't it be good to stay here for a while?
Yui: Eh, here?
Yuma: There's water here, and we can replenish supplies. It's better than moving around blindly.
Yui: But if there's a supply point, then couldn't someone else come by?
Azusa: In that's the case, I think it'll be fine ... ...
In our mansion, the familiar bats were the ones that brought the supplies over ... ...
Kou: Now that you say that, it's true. What about at your place Yuma-kun?
Yuma: It was the same there. Before I noticed anything, the familiars already brought everything.
Yui: So that means we'll be fine as long as the familiars don't find us ... ... ?
Kou: Actually, that makes it less likely that Ruki-kun and the others will come to the supply point on their own, right?
Yuma: That means it's the perfect place to hide.
Azusa: Yeah ... ... I didn't think we'd find a place to settle down so soon ... ...
Kou: Although I would have preferred a place with a roof if possible.
Yui: No, if it means that we can relax even a little bit, then I'm glad. Besides, it's my fault for collapsing
... ...
Kou: That's not your fault ... ... !
... ... No, this isn't the time to be arguing. Although it does suck that we have to camp outdoors for a while.
But in exchange, I can guarantee you a comfortable life!
Yui: ... ... A, comfortable life?
Azusa: First, we need something that will protect us from the wind and rain ... ...
Yuma: Alright then, let's go look for something that might be useful!
Kou: Yeah!
Yui: (Everyone is very excited ... ... I wonder if this will turn out alright.)
*Some time passes*
Tumblr media
Kou: Hey, I found a big leaf that can serve as a roof!
Yui: Woah, you really found one?
Azusa: There are all different types of plants in this area, so it's fun to look for ... ...
Yui: You both have your hands full ... ... Hey, let me help out too?
Kou: No way, you have to rest. You haven't fully recovered yet.
Yui: Right ... ...
(I already caused them trouble by trying too hard, I feel bad about that so for now I'll quietly stay put.)
(But, I do I wish I could help them with something.)
Azusa: It would be nice if we could find something to serve as a rope.
Yui: A rope?
Azusa: We have one to use for the roof ... ... but there weren't any more in the supplies ... ...
Yui: I see ... ... Then we just need something to serve as a substitute.
... ... I know! Will this ivy serve as a rope?
Kou: That's it! There's a lot of ivy growing around here too.
We need ivy that is quite thick and strong ... ... Ah, here we go. This will work.
*He tries to cut it*
... ... Huh? I can't cut it at all.
*He tries again*
What's the deal, it's really hard!?
Azusa: I'll give it a try. I'm sure a dagger as sharp as mine can cut it ... ...
*He tries to cut the ivy*
Azusa: Huh ... ... The blade, it doesn't cut through ... ...
Kou: Geeez~ At this point, we'll do it together Azusa-kun!
Azusa: Y-yes ... ... !
*They both repeatedly try to cut through*
Yui: (They're trying to hard, and yet, they haven't gotten a single scratch ... ... !? What's going on with these plants!?)
Kou: Hah, ah ... ... What's with this, does such an uncuttable thing even exist?!
Azusa: The strongest ivy ... ... unable to be cut ... ...
*Yuma returns*
Tumblr media
Yuma: Hey. I found lots of stuff to be used for fire.
Kou: Ah, Yuma-kun. Welcome back ... ...
Azusa: I can't go on, any further ... ...
Yuma: What's wrong with you guys? All tired like that.
Yui: We wanted to use this ivy as a rope, but they can't cut it.
Yuma: Yeah, there are plants like that. For this species ... ... the root is down here. Hngh!
*He rips the ivy up from the ground*
Here ya go.
Azusa: It came out so easily ... ...
Kou: Geez, Yuma-kun! If you could do that then you should have said so earlier!
Yuma: I didn't do anything wrong though!?
Yui: As expected of Yuma-kun, you know a lot about plants ... ...
Yuma: Nah, it's just that almost all plants have roots. Why didn't you think to try and pull?
Yui: (Uu ... ... I can't say anything back.)
Yuma: But hey, I think you've managed to find some good ivy. We can twist it like this ... ...
*He rips and twists the ivy together*
Yui: (Wow, the net came together before I even knew it ... ... !)
*He finishes the net*
Yuma: ... ...Alright, that should do. Let's hang this between the trees.
Then, add some large leaves, and we'll have a nice rain shelter.
Yui: Amazing ... ... !
Yuma: This isn't a big deal. Even at the Scarlet mansion I kept the rain away from the garden like this.
Kou: Eh, you have a garden here too!?
Yuma: Yeah, I'm surprised too, I guess it's just instinct.
My feeling of "I have to feed my brothers" must have activated.
Yui: (Although his memories were altered, he did not change. As expected of Yuma-kun ... ...)
Kou: Having Yuma-kun with us sure is nice. I feel that we can survive even if we get lost.
Azusa: Yuma ... ... You're amazing.
Yuma: Heheh, leave it to me! No matter what the circumstances are, I'll feed you.
Yui: (H-how reliable ... ... !)
Tumblr media
————————————
Yui's Monologue:
After that, everyone pulled out and weaved the ivy together following Yuma-kun's instructions.
After a while, a sturdy net was constructed.
Then we spread it out next to the larger leaves, and in no time we finished a simple tent.
————————————
Tumblr media
Yui: Sorry for the wait. It's simple, but I tried to cook something.
Kou: Uwah, it looks so delicious! Thanks for the food!
Hm ... ... *munch munch* ... ... Nnn–! M-neko-chan's cooking is so good.
Yui: Fufu, I'm glad you like it.
Yuma: It's been a while since I last ate your cooking.
Azusa: Delicious ... ...
Yui: (It wasn't like we couldn't eat the food Yuma-kun brought without cooking it.)
(But if we're going to eat, then I'd rather make it taste even a little better. I'm glad there's something I can do too.)
Kou: Hey hey, can I put some ketchup on it?
Yuma: You idiot, you're adding too much!
Kou: Eh, but wouldn't it taste even better with this amount?
Azusa: Is there not any shichimi-togarashi* ... ... ?
*((A Japanese spice blend made of 7 components))
Yuma: Just how spicy do you intend to make it?
Azusa: No matter how much I add, it will be delicious ... ... ?
Kou: I'll be taking this!
Azusa: Ah ... ... My tamagoyaki ... ...
Kou: It's your fault for leaving openings Azusa-kun~
Yuma: Heeh, in that case ... ... I'll take this!
Kou: Ah, I was planning on eating that last!
Yuma: It's your fault for leaving an opening isn't it?
Yui: (Fufu, it seems that everyone is having fun. When doing this, I almost forget that we're being chased.)
(I really wish this was just peaceful camping ... ...)

Yay..#hydration af 🔥🔥 I'm...having a smootie!
AHH...im so glad..I was shy to bring it up. I really wanna play the game bc usually when smth is a game first its better than the anime? (I think the game was first..) yea..I see all the content subbed bc the eng anime js..kills me. They sound uncannily like teenage white boys that all have mushroom hair and wanna hit ..
Ahh? You write? Smirk???
From what I know it really is just dark fantasy. Like..what dark vampire content HASNT been considered problematic? Even like. Twilight LOL.
Hhhh i don't know his lore..Laito where are you..Laito...Id giggle at a crossover. Laito looks like a Trey Cater with the Ace mindset. And Kanato,,I love him he's a sweety. A little loco but he's so sweettieee..I..only know the brothers..and the mom. That is my last memory of dialovers..was the mom?.. - 🐍
Hello Viper, I’m excited about your smoothie! Yesterday I had a veggie one. I don’t eat vegetables… I usually drink them.
No need to be shy. I am… A lifeless dork. A shut in. So, I know about a lot of animanga related things. Otome especially. The anime was horrible, but I love the music they used. I used to sing along with the opening of the first season. The game is phenomenal. Again, a bit problematic because it’s… Mildly sexist. I actually like The Great Ayato and his bullying… I’m sorry my breasts are tiny… I’ll pray for them to grow so you’ll be happy my lord… Ahem… The English voice acting is horrible. I watched it only in Japanese because I couldn’t stand how lifeless they sounded in English. To my knowledge, and I may be wrong, the game is fully voice acted. You just need a translator.
I do secretly write for DiaLove. I was planning to only post it on Wattpad. I wanted to make a big story called ‘Juice Box’ but I never figured out who I wanted to be the main interest. Since the anime follows Ayato’s storyline heavily, it didn’t feel fair to the other potential routes. But I do sometimes write little oneshots. I just never post them since DiaLove is so niche now. I hope it stays niche. If TikTok discovered it and some of my other favorite games I would rip my heart from my chest and cannibalize myself.
I actually like Twilight a lot. I have a friend who owns the books and I want to finish reading soon. I watched the movies! I say problematic because the boys are pretty sexist and there is a lot of nonconsensual harassment and touching. Also the neck biting scenes are very intimate and have been suggested to be an allegory for sex depending on the scene. Again, usually nonconsensual because Yui/MC has no backbone. There’s also the Mukami brothers + Shin and Carla but usually I focus on the Sakami family… Ahhhhh but no one will stop me from moaning about Yuma. I want to be his stupid sow… I don’t mind… Treat me like livestock and feed me sugar cubes… Ahhhh his abuse feels so good~ Ah- I mean… I don’t condone this stuff outside of fantasy. But USA Nintendo doesn’t want their image ruined by horny vampires.
There are… I think… Three moms? Karl had a few wives, some at the same time cause he’s freaky as hell. One of them actually… The reason Laito acts the way he does… His mom was doing things with him that she shouldn’t. And she does not feel bad about it. But she dies so… We win… Sorta… I love Kanato’s bad ending he’s so odd and sweet at the same time. The game is just one giant rollercoaster of ‘please don’t let me die here I forgot to save again’ and ‘oh the moaning sounds are making me excited…’
I apologize for rambling… I really do love Diabolik Lovers. And because I discovered it at an impressionable age… I’ve turned into a SadoMas. Please tell me… Who your favorite is when you start getting into it… Naturally, The Great Ayato is mine because we act the same and share a birthday… But I want to kiss many of the characters… Ahhhh… Save me…

Hello!
Can you do a little analysis of a strange thought that suddenly struck us with friends...?
We discussed weird situations where Carl deliberately decides to switch Yui with another girl by transplanting Yui's heart into him. How will Ayato react to this knowing that he is addicted to her blood… (in “more blood” he almost died because he couldn't find a girl with that blood)…
(This mainly refers to the HDB games and more blood on Ayato's route after he develops some sort of relationship with Yui, and these situations are all Carl's plan to put them to the test).
Second situation:
If Yui did not have this wonderful blood from the beginning, but the most ordinary. Karl steps in and purposely sends a girl with divine blood. What will Ayato do? Would he just forget about Yui and replace her because her blood doesn't taste good?
The third situation:
If Yui was of the same good blood, but Carl purposely sends 1 more girl with the same or better blood.
What will Ayato do? Will he vacillate between the two?
(In the vampire world, having multiple partners is normal anyway)…
And the last one, which I think is the most interesting if we dig deeper:
Carl purposely removes Yui from the plan and replaces her with a girl who closely resembles Yui in appearance and personality (on purpose), with Cordelia's heart transplanted for good blood. What would Ayato do? Will he suffer for Yui, be annoyed by the new girl looking so much like her, or fall into a state where he sees her as the original Yui?
I know this post is pretty messed up, but I'm really curious what you think! 🤔 I will also ask for analysis from a few more people, as I am interested in different points of view.
I am sorry for my bad English.
Hi there, Anon!
Thank you for sending in these questions as they are quite interesting to analyze. However, I'm going to have to decline. Since you're sending this ask to multiple blogs, it could potentially come across as unintended plagiarism. You're still more than welcome to send in this ask to me, but only if you'd rather have me answer it (i.e. please choose one blog to answer it). Again, I'm really sorry to decline, but I don't want anyone or myself to be caught in a troublesome loop since it'll be a mess to work out.
P.s. your English is perfect! :)

Haikyuu!! Boys and who’s sister they’d unknowingly date
**Keep in mind, it may happen that not all of these characters actually HAVE sisters, but let’s just ~pretend~ for entertainment purposes. I also put in names for the sisters, but feel free to put your name/an OC’s name and descriptions!!**
Characters: Akaashi, Washio, Konoha, Kita, Ushijima, Yahaba, Iwaizumi, Futakuchi, Daishou and Numai.
This has taken me...days.. I kid you not. THESE ARE REALLY LONG oOps
**I HAVE ADDED Numai Kazuma BECAUSE HE IS AN INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE MAN AND NEEDS MUCH MORE ATTENTION**
Akaashi Keiji: 
It was during the Tokyo training camp.
Akaashi was with Bokuto, Kuroo, Tsukishima, Hinata and Lev in the 3rd gym in the middle of another 3 on 3 match.
Despite his initial concerns they weren’t doing too bad. It helps that the other team was comprised of 3 middle blockers where no one adequately knew how to set, and their newbie (Hinata) was just a *little* bit better than Lev.
“TETSURO YOU JERK!!!” They all turned towards the door where a girl wearing a black t-shirt with red athletic shorts came running in, straight towards the middle blocker. Kuroo, who had a smirk across his face began to retreat. 
“Welp, looks like it’s time for me to go. See you guys later!”
“Oh no you don’t. Where did you put my phone?! It’s been missing for over 2 hours. 2 HOURS!”
Akaashi looked at the girl, noticing she was really pretty. She had beautiful brown eyes, and her black hair was styled into two French braids, which were bouncing as she desperately tried to attack the middle blocker.
“Try checking the club room, I saw him and Bokuto go in there earlier and come out snickering like idiots,” He heard an offended gasp from Kuroo and a ‘Hey!’ from Bokuto. “Thank you, at least someone here has some decency.” Akaashi nodded.
He didn’t really know what it was but he felt intrigued by the girl and he wanted to know more about her.
“I’ll come with you, I have an idea of where they might have put it.” The girl smiled and nodded her head. As they were making their way out of the gym he heard Kuroo say ‘simp’ while Bokuto asked ‘who is’, he stopped listening after that. He spends too much time with them as it is, it’s best to preserve the brain cells he can.
“I’m Azumi by the way, thank you for helping me, you didn’t have to do that.” Akaashi smiled, “I’m Akaashi, it’s not a big deal really You’re actually doing me a favor by getting me out of there.”
The girl, Azumi laughed. ‘She has a pretty laugh..’ Akaashi’s eyes slightly widened at his thoughts. He just met the girl! What’s wrong with him.
Pushing the thought aside he continue to chat and talk with the girl, learning she was also a second year and Nekoma’s manager.
They got to the club room and started looking for the device.
“Why did they take your phone?” Azumi sighed and shrugged her shoulders. “My best guess is for their own entertainment, Tetsuro is always doing things like that.” Akaashi nodded and tried his best not to appear as disappointed as he felt.
Of course she’s dating Kuroo, he’s smart, good looking popular. Figures...
“Sometimes I wonder why out of all the people on the planet I had to get him as a brother, y’know?” Akaashi’s head shot up at her words.
‘Brother?!!?’ He almost laughed at himself. Looking at the situation now it was obvious the two were siblings. He smiled, he still had a chance.
“Yeah I know the feeling. Sometimes I think, out of all the spikers why did I have to get Bokuto.” Azumi laughed again, “I don’t think Fukurodani would still be standing if you weren’t there to reign him in. Not to mention you’re a really good setter and vice-captain.” He felt the tips of his ears turn red as he tried not to stumble over his words.
The rest of the training camp went smoothly, the two became pretty solid friends and exchanged numbers making plans to meet soon.
He went home with a smile on his face and a warm feeling in his heart.
And then he realized, he had a crush...
A crush on Kuroo’s little sister...
oops.
Washio Tatsuki: 
Washio had just gotten out of practice, a really good practice actually.
Everything went pretty smoothly, Bokuto had no tantrums, he nailed a really good spike and it was just a good day all around.
Because of this wonderful day, he figured he’d go to a café he had been wanting to try.
It was a small little coffee shop that had opened about a year ago but he hadn’t had the chance to go yet.
He walked in and was seated by the hostess at a small table by the window.
“Hi there! My name’s Yui and i’ll be your waitress today! Can I get you something to drink?” Washio looked up to see a girl, somewhere around 5′7, with white/silver hair that was tied up in a ponytail. She had the biggest smile he had ever seen, heck she was probably the prettiest girl he’d ever seen.
He ordered his drink (focusing hard so he wouldn’t mess up in front of the pretty girl) and she gave him another bright smile.
“Coming right up!” She walked away going behind the counter to get the drink. Apparently the girls enthusiasm was contagious, because Washio swore he was feeling better than when he and walked in here. And he was feeling pretty good.
She also looked really familiar..but he couldn’t place just where she seemed familiar from.
Removing himself from his thoughts he turned his attention back to the girl, who was back with his drink.
I really hope this doesn’t sound weird or creepy, but do you go to Fukurodani?” Washio seemed a bit surprised by this, but he chalked it up tot he fact he was wearing his school uniform.
He nodded, “I do, do you go there too?” The girl excitedly nodded her yet. “Yup! I’d know that uniform anywhere! Oh! You’re on the volleyball team! Washio, right?” He nodded again. “Sorry if I seem random, my brother’s on the team too so i’ve seen a few games. You’re really good!”
Washio could feel his cheeks burning. No one had ever complimented him like this, well aside from his coach/teammates and family.
“T-thanks...it means a lot...” The girl smiled, a bit more sheepish this time.
“Of course...you’re actually my favorite to see play. My brother’s a spiker so I’m used to his antics but it’s nice to see talented blockers too. Plus, blockers are much cooler in my opinion. OH! I’m still at work, um, here...” The girl reached into her apron and gave him a little note.
“I hope we get to talk again soon, bye Washio!” Before he could even say goodbye the girl had pranced back to the kitchen.
Looking down at the note she gave him he could feel the blush on his cheeks but he didn’t care.
Because written on the note was the girls number, ‘xxx-xxx-xxxx, <3 call me~’ he smiled, he for sure was gonna call her later.
Before he could put the note away however he noticed the writing at the bottom.
...Now he knew why she looked so familiar.
Because signed at the bottom was, in adorably messy handwriting, ‘Yui Bokuto’.
Oh boy.
Konoha Akinori: 
Konoha had been chilling at home when his younger sister, who was a first year at Fukurodani had come home, announcing she had brought a friend home.
Standing up from his place on the couch he stopped in his tracks. In front of him was the prettiest girl he had ever seen.
She had medium length dark brown hair and beautiful gray eyes, she was taller than most females, around 5′6 would be his guess, but she was still a few inches shorter than him.
Looking at her, she looked...familiar? He didn’t really know where she seemed familiar from, school maybe?
He shrugged it off, deciding it wasn’t something worth driving him crazy.
She introduced herself (his sister introduced her really, the girl was pretty shy) as Momo, he didn’t catch the last name though.
Anywho as the afternoon went on the girls remained down in the living room doing homework, which they needed help with. Luckily Konoha was a few years ahead and had already gone through that, so he helped them with their homework.
Seeing as it was the middle of the year and mid terms were coming up, the girls would ask him for help a lot.
Now, he may not have the best track record of helping others (...i.e Bokuto with spiking *cOuGh couGh). But this was his little sister! And it definitely wasn’t because he had a *little* crush on Momo...definitely not...Okay maybe.
But it’s not like she didn’t have just as bi of a crush on him so..
Anyways, one day Konoha’s little sister, Azumi had to leave early for a doctor’s appointment but Momo still needed help.
Knowing her brother was a ~gentlemen~ and Momo didn’t have a problem with it she left the two alone.
They were both...nervous. I mean who wouldn’t be! They were both unknowingly left alone with their crush.
Konoha decided he’d just start a conversation, and with that conversation the two found out they actually had a lot in common!
Konoha found out she had an older brother, who also went to Fukurodani! She didn’t mention a name though..Oh well.
The two spent the afternoon chatting and getting to know each other! And he may or may not have gotten her number...For studying purposes of course!
At about 4:47 there was a knock at the door. “Oh, that’s probably my older brother!” Konoha nodded, but walked over to check.
He opened the door...”wASHIO!?!  What are you doing here?” The middle blocker looked just as shocked. “I’m here to pick up my little sister...” Konoha just about felt the color drain out of his face.
. . .He had a crush on Washio Tatsuki’s little sister. . . 
Oh he was dead. 
Kita Shinsuke: 
It was during lunch one day when a 2nd year had approached him, Reina Omimi.
She was very pretty with long silky black hair, slanted gray eyes standing out to him but what caught his eye the most was the cute smile on her face.
She asked him to tutor her, since she was having trouble in English, he agreed asking her to come to class 3-7 after school since he didn’t have volleyball practice.
So, the two started meeting each other after school on the days he didn’t have volleyball practice and she was free from her club activities.
He truly thought it was a coincidence.
I mean, sure there were similarities beyond their names but couldn’t have been that rare right? Besides it’s not like everyone with the same last name was related.
Anyways, soon enough the two had gotten so close, they started dating!
They had yet to meet each others families, not on purpose of course! It just didn’t seem like the biggest priority on top of everything else going on.
One day before practice the boys were in the locker room changing from their school uniforms into their practice clothes.
All was fine until *Atsumu* just had to bring something up..
“Say, Kita, I saw you with a girl the other day, who was it?” 
Kita, being unbothered by the question answered, “My girlfriend” the whole locker room went quiet before erupting in a chorus of ‘wHaT?!’, ‘who is it’ and other unintelligible things.
“Her names Reina, she’s in class 2-6 so I doubt any of you second years know her.” That instantly shut up the rambunctious (minus Suna) second years (Suna and Osamu are 2-1, Ginjima and Atsumu are class 2-3...).
...But it did intrigue a certain 3rd year.
“Shinsuke...what’s her last name?” The captain in question turned to the third year middle blocker.
“It’s Omimi, wh-...oh.” Realization hit him like a truck.
The name, the hair, the eyes, the brains...how didn’t he see it?!?!
After Omimi assured Kita he was fine with him dating her, the team got on with practice. 
But let’s just say it was a fun conversation to be had between Kita and both Omimi’s...
Suna Rintaro: 
To be fair, NO ONE knows how this happened!
SUNA doesn’t even know how this happened!
Anyways, Suna had been going for a walk (his parents had kicked him out of the house for the day for being lazy) when he bumped into her, Megumi Kita.
He recognized the name when she introduced herself, but he didn’t put two and two together.
Kita had brought her to practice about a week or so ago and had introduced her but Suna had been asleep in the club room so..
Anyways, megumi had been on her way home from the store when she and Suna collided.
Seeing as it was his fault and he wasn’t allowed back in the house yet anyways he offered to help her bring the groceries to her house.
When they got there they were immediately greeted by Yumie Kita (Kita’s grandmother), who insisted Suna stay until he could go back home. (*and her granddaughter was single and he is a very handsome young man)
Not being able to turn down the sweet elderly woman he gratefully agreed. The afternoon went on smoothly.
A few hours after his exile his mom texted him telling him he could go back home.
Wanting the two to spend more time together Yumie insisted Megumi go back with Suna, and to meet her older brother on the way back since he was nearby.
The walk was filled with playful banter and getting to know each other.
So when they got to Suna’s house he obviously asked if she’d see him again and she happily agreed.
It wasn’t until he tried to sleep that night he remembered why that name had sounded so familiar.
Fast forward two months, Megumi and Suna were happily dating, er happily dating in secret. Why? Because the two knew Kita would not be happy to know someone (from his team nonetheless) was dating his little sister.
It was during practice one day that the fateful encounter had occurred...Suna had mysteriously disappeared, and Kita’s little sister who had come to watch had disappeared as well...The team went on a scavenger hunt for the sleepy middle blocker, figuring the sister’s absence was just a coincidence.
Until they found them snuggled up and asleep in the stairwell...
Suna did a few extra drills that practice...
And for 5 practices after that.
Ushijima Wakatoshi: 
Okay...to be completely fair...he knew she was Oikawa’s little sister.
He met her at the beginning of his second year when she became the first year manager at Shiratorizawa.
Due to her sweet and kind personality, which he found greatly contrasted Oikawa’s he took a strong liking to the girl one she returned.
At first the two were just friends but as they spent more time together they developed feelings for each other.
Despite not going to the same school, and Natsuki staying in the dorms the Oikawa siblings remained close.
So Oikawa knew she went to Shiratorizawa...and that she was their manager...he just didn’t think she even TALKED to Ushijima.
Let alone that she was DATING him!
N E wAys Ushijima and Natsuki were out on a date, it was a Saturday and the two were out and about in town.
The two had just exited the café they were in when they heard a loud gasp.
Turning around the two were met with....basically all of Aoba Johsai.
And a broad range of reactions.
Oikawa looked DiSgUsTeD, iwaizumi looked conflicted, Yahaba showed a *hint* of surprise, Kindaichi looked scared and Hanamaki, Matsukawa and Kunimi were all laughing at their captain.
“wha-why-how-hUH!?!?! HOW DID THIS HAP-” He was promptly cut off by a firm slap to the back of his head. “Get over yourself loserkawa! You should’ve known you couldn’t control her forever!” 
Whining from the blow to the back of his head Oikawa turned to face the love birds, staring down Ushijima and proceeding to look his little sister in the eye.
After much mental deliberation (and another hit from Iwaizumi) he sighed and turned around, waving a dramatic hand in the air.
As he walked away he shouted, “Oh~ But don’t think you’re getting off easy now Ushiwaka,” He momentarily stopped to turn his head and give the two a *look. “We will be discussing this later.”
Yahaba Shigeru: 
 After a game ended he was headed towards the locker room when someone stopped him.
She introduced herself as Emi and said she wanted to say he played really well.
Yahaba, thinking she was really sweet and cute asked for her number which she gladly gave to him.
As he walked to the locker room, he couldn’t stop thinking about her beautiful long black hair that was perfectly curly. 
She really was quite pretty, one of the prettiest girls he’d ever seen.
Fast forward a week, he had asked the girl on a date and she’d said yes!
So now, he was headed to an address she had given him to pick her up.
She was running a bit late so she told him to knock on the door and her older brother would let him in.
Making sure he looked his best he got out of his car and knocked on the front door.
He almost choked when none other than his teammate, Matsukawa opened the front door confused as to why Yahaba was there.
To stunned to answer coherently, Mattsun’s little sister skipped past her brother and gave Yahaba a hug, explaining to her brother this was the guy she had been talking about.
...Yahaba knew he was in for it later when he saw the look Matsukawa was giving him...it was the same look he had perfected as a middle blocker.
Y’know, the one he used to intimidate his opponents.
Nervously gulping Yahaba promised to have her home at a reasonable time and nervously left with his date.
The next practice was a dreaded date for the poor man.
Iwaizumi Hajime: 
Iwaizumi had been racing the halls of Aoba Johsai (he was late to practice...) when he had accidentally bumped into someone, sub sequentially knocking them to the ground.
Looking down he saw that he had bumped into a girl he had seen around, Kanna something or the other.
Apologizing he was quick to offer her a hand up, which she gratefully accepted.
He helped her gather her things and discovered she was on her way to deliver some papers to the guidance office.
Seeing as he was responsible for them being knocked to the floor he offered to help her take them there.
On their way to the office Iwaizumi made some small talk and got to know somethings about the girl.
He knew the name ‘Kyotani’ but he didn’t think anything of it especially since she was so nice and sweet!
So he figured it was a coincidence the two had the same name.
After that day the two would meet for study sessions, lunch, etc. Until they eventually started to go on dates.
So when he asked her to be his girlfriend, she had agreed.
On this specific day the two had plans to hang out after school, but because of a quick team meeting after practice Iwaizumi would be late to pick Kanna up after her club.
She assured him it was fine and that she’d just meet Iwaizumi at the gym.
“The HECK are you doin’ here?” Iwaizumi turned from where he was chatting with Hanamaki to see his girlfriend had just walked into the gym.
“Shut up Kentaro! Oh, Hajime! Sorry if I’m a bit early, club ended sooner than I had expected.”
Iwaizumi walked over and gave his girlfriend a short kiss on the lips, which wasn’t that weird since they’ve been dating for a few months now and had kissed several times.
“Are you serious? Right in front of my salad?” The whole gym (minus one player) cracked up at Makki’s joke, Iwaizumi rolling his eyes.
“Chill out everyone, this is my girlfriend, Kanna-” “GiRLfRiEnD!?!”
The team now directed their eyes towards Kyotani, who was a mix between fuming and shocked.
“Oh shut it Kentaro! You knew I had a boyfriend.” Kanna rolled her eyes at her overprotective younger brother. He sputtered a bit before he could formulate a response, “yEah, but I didn’t know it was him!”.
Before young Mad-dog exploded Yahaba came over and dragged him by the collar back to the court to ‘practice his spikes’ or whatever.
Futakuchi Kenji: 
He swears it was an accident! 
How was he supposed to know she was Aone’s little sister?!
Futakuchi had gone over one afternoon to work on some homework with Aone.
When Futakuchi knocked on the door, a beautiful kind looking girl opened it, asking him why he was here.
Introducing himself as a friend of Aone’s, the girl let him in, figuring he was  friend of her brothers.
You see, before Futakuchi had come over that afternoon, Aone had warned him his younger sister had some friends over.
So naturally he assumed the girl who answered the door was one of those friends since the girl (whose name he learned was Niko) and Aone looked absolutely nothing alike!
She was also quite bubbly and extroverted, easily keeping conversation with the girl.
Being the absolute charmer he is he begun lightly flirting with the girl.
And IN HIS DEFENSE!! She flirted back.
IT WAS ALSO AT THIS TIME THAT AONE HAD COME DOWNSTAIRS.
A look of concern came over his face as he saw Futakuchi flirting with his little sister. 
Quickly walking over to the two, he pushed Futakuchi away (by his face of course) before turning to his younger sister who was frantically asking why he’d do such a thing.
“You know that guy on the team I always talk about.” Niko looked at him confused, “You mean the scummy one with a terrible personality?” Aone nodded and pointed at Futakuchi, “He’s that guy.” 
Futakuchi just yelled out a “HEY!”, knowing his friend wasn’t exactly wrong.
Niko just laughed, “He’s not that bad! He seems nice to me! Plus you never mentioned he was so handsome.”
Making a face of disgust Aone just shook his head muttering ‘It’s your funeral’ before heading back to his room.
The two hit it off, and despite his initial protests Aone is very happy for both of them.
Daishou Suguru: 
It was after Mika dumped him, he had been incredibly distraught and had gone to a local park to let his feelings out.
Unfortunately, it had started raining and Daishou hadn’t exactly been in the right state of mind so he had forgotten to bring an umbrella.
Just as it had started to sprinkle he had gotten shielded from the rain,
Looking up he saw a really pretty girl with black hair and warm gray eyes looking at him with concern.
Convincing him it was dangerous to be out in this weather, the two made their way to the safety of a nearby café.
The two talked for hours and as it turns out the girl, Yuna as he had learned her name was, had been going through a similar situation.
Exchanging numbers the two continued to see each other and eventually started dating.
They had yet to meet each other’s families due to both of them being busy, so they decided to wait until after the Spring High Preliminary’s since Daishou would be free after them. (Due to scheduling conflicts Yuna was not able to go to the Match, but consoled her boyfriend after they lost)
Knocking on the door Yuna let him in and the two hung out in the living room until everyone had gotten there.
Once dinner had been cooked the family sat down at the table, all except one who Yuna had said was still at practice.
About 1/4 of the way through dinner they heard the front door open, in walking Yuna’s little brother.
“Oh! I should have asked earlier but you two know each other don’t you Yuuki?” 
Daishou mentally screamed realizing his girlfriend’s younger brother just so happened to be the rookie libero he had targeted during the preliminary’s.
Stilling in his tracks Shibayama nervously shook his head, saying he had only gone up against him at the preliminary’s and that they hadn’t really met.
Seeing as Shibayama is a stand up guy, he didn’t say anything to his family. So all was actually going well until Mr. Shibayama said Daishou had looked familiar....
Yuna had not gone to the Match...but Mr. Shibayama and Mrs. Shibayama had...and they had now recognized Daishou.
Oh boy.
Numai Kazuma:
It was when Numai had dislocated his thumb.
After the match he had gone to the nurses office, where a very pretty girl helped him.
She introduced herself as Kaia, she was helping out with first aid since she was enrolled in a medical program at Nohebi.
When Numai heard ‘Nohebi’ he talked about how he was the Ace for the Boys Volleyball team.
Kaia then asked him questions and before the two knew it they were engaged in a conversation while she helped him with his injury.
The two bonded over volleyball, since Numai learned her little brother played, and he played as a wing spiker!
During the duration of his stay, he built up the courage to ask her for her number, which she of course agreed to.
Seeing as she had done as much as she could do for a dislocated thumb, she released him, opting to walk him back to his team (definitely nOt just to spend more time with him h a h a).
When they got to the club room, where the team had just finished discussing the game.
Numai opened the door a smidge before he paused, not noticing the team eagerly waiting behind the closed door.
Turning back to Kaia he took  deep breath before nervously asking the girl out sometime, which she also happily agreed to.
Little did he realize the girls reply had interested someone behind the semi-closed door, he hadn’t really cared what was going on until he recognized that voice.
When the team decided their ace had had enough fun, the quickly opened the door and pulled him inside, the whole team piling on top of him.
All except one...
“Kaia...what are you doing here..?” everyone turned to look at a now awake Kuguri, who had been napping after taking over for the poor ace.
Kaia then entered the room and gave her little brother a hug, congratulating him for stepping up.
Noticing the team’s weird stares, the eldest of the two siblings turned around before properly introducing herself.
“I’m Kaia Kuguri, Naoyasu’s older sister.”
The underclassmen went silent, since they didn’t want to seem disrespectful towards their ace, while the third years all started howling with laughter, Sakishima and Daishou being the worst offenders.
Kaia just shook her head before leaving her dumbstruck brother and a red and stuttering Numai behind to deal with his cackling teammates.

Chapter Six: Shape Up
Series Masterlist•<previous•next>
Tumblr media
“Alrighty, your food will be ready shorty,” the waitress spoke before leaving with the booklets and you all thanked her.
Semi and you still haven’t had a real conversation since sitting down at the table together, just mumbling some words to get through the night which Taka took notice of. “Are you two nervous or something? It’s alright, I’m not scary and you guys don’t look scary. Enjoy yourselves please, besides this is all our treat to you guys.” Feeling guilty for your behavior you immediately apologized to Taka and his band mates and thanked them again for the invitation. Semi did the same as well. You’re both just gonna have to fake it. “It’s okay! We’re going to be spending a lot of time together so I think it’d be cool if we could get to know each other, where are you from? I’m from Tokyo.”
“Miyagi,” you and Semi answered at the same time.
“Oh! Have you guys met before or anything?”
“We went to the same high school,” Semi answered causing you to internally face palm.
“That’s crazy! Were you two friends?”
“We were. Then we lost touch when we graduated. You know, busy busy,” you spoke up before Semi could. The last thing you want was someone you look up to questioning your past drama. Just seeing Semi was enough to remind you of how things went down all those years ago.
“Yeah, this is actually our first time seeing each other since then.”
“Wow, now I’m the odd man out,” Taka laughed to which you did too. While laughing you felt something poke your side.
Semi was sneakily trying to hand you his phone. Semi started branching off to a different conversation with Taka to distract him which you know he did so you could look at his phone without suspicion since everyone else was having their own conversations. You took a quick glance at the text message he typed to someone but didn’t send.
“Can we talk after this?”
You glided your eyes back onto the two singers, focusing more on the ash blonde. You two haven’t spoken in six years, what could he have to say, you asked yourself. Starting to think out every logical scenario you could, you thought that he just wanted to get the confrontation out of the way so you could both do this tour without any issues. Whatever happens, you know that even if you say no, you’d have to talk to him eventually. Might as well get it over with sooner than later so you typed your response.
“Yeah seriously thank you so much for listening to my band too. I’m so glad you like us. I’m actually a big fan of your music,” you spoke, jumping into the conversation so you could pass Semi his phone back with ease under the table.
“Thank you. I really liked your voices and wanted you guys to join me for the last song on our set list. It’s one of the new songs off the latest album,” Taka explained.
“Which song is it?” You asked excitedly.
“Take What You Want. We made the song with 5 Seconds of Summer but I think you guys would sound really good doing their parts.”
“I’m so down!”
“Sounds good to me,” Semi added, amused by your enthusiasm.
“Here’s your food,” the waitress spoke as she set down your plates with the help of another waiter. You all thanked them for the food before enjoying your meals.
Tumblr media
The rest of the dinner was actually quite enjoyable. From what you could tell, Haruka and Jiro were mostly catching up with each other, which you understood since they were close their final year of high school. Tomo and Toru of One Ok Rock seemed to enjoy the stories Izumi was telling them while Ryota and Yui were having fun helping Ranmaru and Subaru practice their English. You loved talking with Taka. He was really easy to get along with and made it much easier to break the ice with Semi. You all finished your meals and left the restaurant together.
“That was the best meal I’ve had in forever!” Izumi announced when everybody was outside.
“Right? I cant way to try more food!” Jiro added on.
“What do you say guys?” You and Semi said simultaneously, crossing your arms and turning from each other.
“Thank you,” Your band members said all together.
“It’s nothing really,” Toru started.
“Yeah, we’re glad we got to meet like this,” Tomo added.
“We had a lot of fun tonight. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the tour will be like,” Ryota continued.
“You’re still very welcome. We’ll see you all tomorrow at the venue. Eita, Y/n, don’t forget, two in the afternoon for rehearsal. We’re heading back to our bus so good night,” Taka finished. The guys in One Ok Rock all waved you guys goodbye before heading off.
“They were really nice,” Subaru spoke.
“Yeah, this’ll be so exciting. It’s your guys first time in the US right?” Yui asked Won’t Regret.
“Yeah, thanks again for helping us practice,” Ranmaru said.
“No worries. You can ask us for help if needed.”
“Do you guys want us to walk you to your bus? It’s dark out,” Jiro offered, looking at Haruka for a response.
She smiled at him before responding, “Jiro you’re funny, our buses are in the same lot. We might as well just walk in a group.”
“Girls, you can head off. I’m gonna talk with Semi so I’ll catch up later.”
Yui was the first one to give you a worried look, wondering if you were fine being alone with him. Izumi and Haruka looked confused and curious. From what they knew, you haven’t been in contact with Semi since high school. Tendou was the one that mostly helped you through grieving the loss of your best friend but they could recognize the look of nostalgia in your eyes when you reminisced on old memories with him. They know you were strong, but it was a pain that never completely went away.
“How long?” Izumi asked.
“It might be a while,” Semi answered. “I’ll walk her back straight to your bus, don’t worry.”
The girls reluctantly let left you with Semi while the rest of boys accompanied them. As the groups walked away they would occasionally turn their heads back to the two of you out of curiosity to see what was going to happen. You were known for having a laid back attitude but stepping up and becoming assertive if need be in less than a second. Semi was typically pretty patient with you but it’s best to be careful since he has a shorter fuse.
“Hi,” Semi started awkwardly once his everyone was out of sight.
“Hey,” you responded in the same tone.
“Wanna go sit on that bench? Also, how’ve you been?”
“Yeah, and I’ve been good. You?”
He started walking across the street after looking both ways. “I’m doing great. How’s Tendou? Congrats on your marriage, by the way.”
“Marriage?” You asked confused.
“Didn’t you and Tendou get married and have a honeymoon in France?”
You let out a laugh before responding. “Tendou and I have been broken up for like three years now dude. I’ve never gone to France with Tendou, he went for his career and now lives there. I’ve only gone if it was for touring. Where’d you get that idea from?” You asked, gradually laughing harder resulting in Semi feeling relief. Half of it being that you might be single and the other part being that the laughing is a good sign that you’re willing to humor him.
“I saw he posted pictures of himself with the Eiffel Tower and stuff so I just assumed,” he chuckled along.
“Yeah but wouldn’t it make sense if I was in those pictures with him? I probably would’ve posted a picture of my ring too.”
“You know I follow you still?”
“Yeah, I pay attention to my notifications sometimes. I’ll be honest though, I did unfollow you.”
“Understandable,” Semi sighed.
You both went quiet after that, getting comfortable on the metal bench. Taking note of his expression, you took the lead for conversation. “What was it you wanted to talk about?”
“Oh uh, I wanted to apologize,” he responded, grateful for the dim lighting so his blush wouldn’t be super noticeable.
“Well, I’m listening,” you said before crossing your arms in a playful manor.
“I’m sorry for calling you a bitch. I’m sorry for raising my voice at you. I’m sorry for saying all that petty shit and hurting you. I’m sorry for all the pain I gave you. You know that saying that’s like ‘you don’t know what you have until you lose it?’ Well I lost you, and that was my biggest regret. All these years-“
“Semi, you can stop-“ you interrupted not expecting him to go on a full on rant for an apology. You were fine with a simple ‘I’m sorry’. Never would you have expected the ash blonde to list out every thing he did wrong. It was high school, that’s when mistakes are meant to be made because you learn from them. After walking the earth for twenty four years, you couldn’t give less of a shit about the things that happened. You grew up, you were over it, you have other things to focus on than hold onto a grudge because someone hurt you.
“Let me finish. Please. All these years I never tried to reach out to you because I think you made it clear that you didn’t want to speak to me and I respect that but oh my god I’m so proud of you. You’ve accomplished so much. You’ve traveled around the world, living your dream. I know we may have ended on bad terms but I have never, not once, ever wished for your life to take a turn for the worst. I’m genuinely so happy for you. I’m just so, so, sor- What? Why are you crying? I’m the one apologizing!” he asked, raising his hands to wipe your tears.
While listening to him all you could think about was how guilty you felt. “Because I’m sorry,” You answered, grabbing his wrists to pull them away from your face so you could wipe your own tears. “I’m sorry for pushing you away. I’m sorry for not reaching out either. I’m sorry for almost starting a physical fight with you.” You were letting all your frustrations out at this point from all the emotions you had built up inside you. While you had to admit you were upset with him, you were the one that started it. “I shouldn’t have said what I said the night of the talent show. I should’ve told you the truth. I started this. I’m the one at fault.”
“Y/n...” Semi wrapped his arms around your back, using one hand to guide your face into his chest to help you calm down. “It’s okay. You’re okay.” His voice was soft, different compared to the way he was speaking before. His task at hand was just to focus on you. “I missed you,” he spoke.
“I hmff ugh oo,” you responded, head still buried in his chest.
“What?”
You pulled away from him and straightened your back. “I said I missed you too.” You took a couple seconds to look at him. He looked almost exactly the same as he did back then. The only differences you could tell were that his hair was longer and he looked more mature, maybe a little buffer. It was somewhat comforting. “I don’t get it. I told myself I should hate you after all that happened but I could never bring myself to accept it. It’s weird that we’re talking with little difficulty right now to each other.”
“Little difficulty? I’m not gonna lie, my heart is beating so fast right now. I was so nervous to even hand you my phone at the table,” Semi laughed, eyes not looking away from your form laughing into your hand. “I don’t get it either though. I honestly thought you were gonna hate me and yell at me like, do you really forgive me?”
“How do I say this?” You asked yourself before taking a deep breath to answer his question. “After graduating and experiencing the real world, I realized I don’t need to focus on high school bullshit. We were so young-“
“Now you’re making me feel old.”
“Shut up! We were just teens. Now we’re adults, ya know? With bills to pay and actual responsibility. I’d rather focus on me, myself now than what happened in high school. Am I gonna forget it? No, it helped build the person I am now. Can I forgive? I may be a petty bitch and say I don’t wanna but what’s that gonna do for me? Nothing so I might as well.” After giving your long explanation you looked at him again and took in his features, old happy memories flooding back to you.
“Do you think we start over?” Semi asked hopefully.
“Yeah.”
“Hey, I’m Semi Eita. I play in a band and I’m a bit of an asshole sometimes. What’s your name?”
“I’m L/n Y/n and I also play in a band and can sometimes be a bitch,” you responded with a laugh.
“It’s nice to meet you. Can I walk you to where you need to be?” he asked, getting up and putting his hand out to help you up.
“Sure, that’d be really nice.”
After he helped you up, you started walking towards your bus with Semi walking right next to you. “Hey I’m actually playing a show tomorrow night, you should check us out!”
“No way, what time?” You asked deciding to play along.
“Like seven but you know how it goes, it’ll probably be more like seven-fifteen.”
“Ugh that’s annoying. Can you come to mine? I think I play at like eight.”
“Sure, dude. Anything for my bestie.”
“Aight I’m done. Bestie is too far, dude.”
“What! I can’t call you my bestie even though we just reunited six years after not seeing each other?”
“Correct. We can be ‘friends’,” you said, using your fingers to put air quotes, “but honestly I’m still on edge. Like after we went our separate ways it was hard for me to reconnect with people because it hurt when we ended things. I don’t wanna go through that again.”
Semi sighed, “I get that. Sorry again. I promise I won’t do that again.”
“It’s okay. And you better. Or else we’re really throwing hands,” you teased.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah!”
“Don’t make me go all WWE on you!”
“Oh my god Semi, is that a threat?”
“Y/n!” Izumi yelled which made you focus on your tour bus. The girls had each opened a window to stick their head out of and wait for your arrival.
“Are you okay?” Haruka asked.
“Do you want back up?” Yui followed up.
“I’m joking, Yui,” Semi said, putting his hands up in defense.
“You better, or else I’m gonna be the one fighting for y/n,” Haruka warned with a glare.
“I guess this is goodnight, Semi. You don’t want to throw hands with Haruka, she’s pretty buff. Thanks again. See you around,” you said as you waved him goodbye and hopped on the bus.
“See ya,” Semi responded. He turned around and threw his head upwards to the night sky and let out a sigh before walking to his bus.
Yui with her head still out of the window took notice of how Semi relaxed after you left him. “Hey, girly,” she started, getting up from her spot after closing the window. “You okay? How’d it go?”
“Yeah, I’m okay. It actually went surprisingly well.”
“That’s good news!” Izumi cheered.
“So are you friends again?” Haruka asked.
“Hmm, I guess so? We’re basically just starting over.”
“This tour is gonna be interesting,” Yui finished.
Tumblr media
Getting back onto his bus, Semi immediately felt three pairs of eyes glued on him. Jiro set his Nintendo switch down while Subaru put his phone on his lap and Ranmaru stood up.
“We’ve been expecting you,” Ranmaru started with a straight face.
“Yeah!” Jiro added only to be shushed by Subaru.
“Well... good news?” Semi responded, not knowing what to make of the way his band mates were acting.
“Go on...” Subaru said, this time being shushed by Jiro.
“First, I’m gonna be a guest vocal for One Ok Rock with Y/n during their last song. Second, I told Y/n everything I needed to say. We’re friends again. We’re all good,” Semi said with a smile.
Ranmaru took a few steps closer to Semi before lovingly slapping his back. “Proud of you, bro.”
“Woooo! Go Eita!” Jiro jumped up to hype up his bandmate.
“Awesome!” Subaru finished. “Happy for you man. Now, I hate to be the mom here, but we should get to bed. Tomorrow’s gonna be a long day.”
Tumblr media
“Good job guys!” Taka said, patting both of your backs.
“Thank you! Is there anything you want us to change?” You asked.
“Hmm, nah. I know most people say practice makes perfect but I think as the tour goes on we’ll improve the performance each night.”
“Sounds good,” Semi said.
“Can I give some feedback?” You asked. Taka and Semi both gave you a nod to go on. “You,” you pointed to Semi, “are being so stiff. It’s your first tour in the US. Loosen up! I’ll be blunt, if how to act now is how you’re gonna act during your set, which is the first one, you’re not gonna grab anyone’s attention. The majority of the crowd probably haven’t even heard of your band. You gotta draw them in.”
“I have to agree with her,” Taka joined in.
Semi grew wide eyed and turned a little red. You were about to speak up again but he beat you to it. “Sorry, I think I’m just nervous. This is all new to me,” he said, bringing a hand up to the back of his head.
“Sorry! I didn’t mean to sound harsh! I just want you guys to grow. Being on tour right now is a big honor so I want you to get the most you can out of it. And-“
And you were rambling. Same old Y/n, Semi thought to himself, letting you ramble while he had a small smirk on his face, amused by the words you were speaking.
“Just perform how you would back then! I think if you brought that energy you’d really get a lot of people hooked!”
“Ya think so?”
“I know so. Can we try again but exaggerate our movements? This dude has to shape up.”
“I’ve heard so many stories about you mentoring the smaller bands, it’s nice to see that you live up to them,” Taka smiled.
“Thank you,” you responded with a blush. “Now Semi, follow our lead. And don’t let us down tonight.”

@awesome-slime-lover Here you go, sorry if it’s bad eanjeadad
The Frost walker jumped back in alert once they heard the rustling of the bushes. Who would be watching them?
They drew out their spear and pointed in the direction of the sounds. They learnt that anything in the wild could be a threat to them, they took no chances. “Who is't's th're?”
The rustling increased, the tail swang in an anxious manner. The sounds sounded rather, they couldn’t place it. It was odd.
A head popped out from behind a tree, they seemed friendly but frowned at the sight of the spear and stood tall. Yui furrowed their eyebrows.
“Pardon?”, the strange humanoid asked, if Yui had to describe them it’d probably be that to kin of a sentient slime. “Who is't art thee?”. They asked again. In response, all they got was a tilt of confusion with a narrowed eye.
The slime person spoke English, oh right. Many use that kind of English, not many speak their version of English. “Apologises, One doesn’t usually speak in the way you do. One was asking who you were.”.
“Oh! My name’s Slime! What about you?”, their tone changed to a friendlier one and looked more approachable. That meant they meant no threat to Yui. “One’s name is Yui Fuyu…”.
“Nice to meet you Yui!”. Yui put their spear back onto the hilt on their back and stepped closer to Slime. “What are you doing here? You don’t look like an inhabitant, One has seen on One’s planet”.
“Oh, I kind of needed a place to stay for a while that’s all”. Slimes facial features changed to what of curiosity as they leaned closer to Yui. “What are you doing?”, “You look rather young? What are you doing out here in the wilderness?”.
“One may be young, but One is most capable of taking care of themselves. One survives on the surroundings natures”.  To demonstrate, they picked up a nearby fruit from a tree and bit into it, although sour, it was really the only food around.
“Wait- do you mean you’re alone out here? How old are you?”. “One is roughly about 16 years old? One isn’t quite sure?”, “Where are your parents?”.
Yui stumbled back sightly, they didn’t really get a lot of interaction from many people and now this person was asking a lot of questions. Why were they concerned? They could take care of themselves? Nobody else cared.
“One’s family is gone…”, they sighed. “One’s mother died to a fatal illness and One’s father is also gone.”.
“You’re all alone then?”, “Mhm…”.
Yui looked away and crossed their arms. Slime looked concerned at Yui for a minute and offered out their hand. Yui looked at them and frowned. “Do not pity one! One is fine!”. And proceeded to run off.

Shoma Umi Komori.
🦢
(I'm sorry if my english is shitty-)
❛A sad soul can kill faster than bacteria.❜
—𝐽𝑜𝒉𝑛 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑘
⟅☙⟆ Universe ⟅☙⟆
Diabolik Lovers. I plan, however, to take her out of the universe and make her a character of her own. Or maybe I'll just drop it and do both. Who knows?
⟅☙⟆ Full Name ⟅☙⟆
Shoma Umi Komori.
"Shoma" is a Japanese name that means "Woman who seeks the truth, who is not conformist at all."  Her second name, "Umi", is also a Japanese name that means "ocean".
⟅☙⟆ Kanji ⟅☙⟆
シ ョ マ
⟅☙⟆ Nickname ⟅☙⟆
Despite being initially confused by these, as she was not used to it, she was given the nickname "Engel" (which means "Angel" in German) by a family quite close to her.  The nickname was given by the mother and head of the family, since in the eyes of that woman, Shoma is an angel.
Seiji, who was the adoptive father of the girl, called the young woman "Astertea", which is quite a "peculiar" name in the bible.
Yui, with whom she is no longer in contact with Shoma, used to call her "Sho" or "Shomi" affectionately.
⟅☙⟆ Age ⟅☙⟆
She is eighteen years old, although she looks a bit younger.
⟅☙⟆ Gender ⟅☙⟆
Feminine.
⟅☙⟆ Sexual Orientation ⟅☙⟆
She doesn't know yet. Doesn't really bothers her to know.
⟅☙⟆ Height ⟅☙⟆
160 cm.
⟅☙⟆ Weight ⟅☙⟆
She used to weigh 35 kg., But now she is a proud 64.5 kg.
⟅☙⟆ Blood type ⟅☙⟆
OR-
⟅☙⟆ Status ⟅☙⟆
Alive.
⟅☙⟆ Race ⟅☙⟆
Human
⟅☙⟆ Birthday ⟅☙⟆
June 20th.
⟅☙⟆ Sign ⟅☙⟆
Gemini.
⟅☙⟆ Favorite Color ⟅☙⟆
Light blue and night blue.
⟅☙⟆ Appearance ⟅☙⟆
There is a great before and after in her appearance, and even though she is not shown in her story (at the end of the card), there was the occasional change in her future.
The girl has oculocutaneous albinism, so her skin and hair are snow-white.  Her hair, due to a small "situation", was long, straight and lifeless.  Her hair almost touched her waist, and she basically managed to cover her view.  She is now a cute short hairstyle down to the nape of hers, wavy and neat.
Her skin is very pale and fragile, although now she is somewhat better, before she was simply rough and damaged.  She has several deep burns and scars on this one as well.
The young woman, despite not having very good eyesight, has beautiful eyes of a light blue color, somewhat grayish.
She has a mark on her right leg in the shape of a fox with several stars on it.  It's a pretty special symbol, but she keeps it covered most of the time.
She usually did not wear clothes other than bandages to cover herself, although she still finds old clothes to wear, even though she was a little too big.  Now, she got used to wearing light clothes that cover most of her body;  like jeans, leggings, or long dresses with something underneath.  She doesn't really like to wear short or see-through clothes.
⟅☙⟆ Personality ⟅☙⟆
Many think that she simply doesn't have any kind of emotion. Shoma never shows any kind of expression in public, she is shown with her face up and with a look so cold that she makes it true to her appearance. The young woman is too serious, and depending on the person, it is very difficult to get her out of her typical attitude.
Sho is an elegant little girl, and full of grace despite all her troubles. She will never be friendly enough in front of someone (again, it depends on the person), but she will also not feel uncomfortable or unwelcome unless that is the goal of the little one. Shoma knows that she is able to erase someone from the earth fas if she wishes, but she doesn't abuse that thought, you just have to be careful not to make her angry or touch her too much.  It could be a big mistake.
Still, well ...
She is always alert, so it is very easy for her to get nervous or anxious most of the time.
She can also happen that she cannot do something right (she finds it very difficult to concentrate / think on several occasions, as well as sometimes she finds it difficult to understand what happens around her, etc).  Still, it is something that doesn't happen as much as before, after leaving the aforementioned situation in which she found herself.
She is easily frustrated, and this happens when she recognizes that she has trouble thinking.  It's very easy for her to cry or tear up in frustration (she doesn't do it in public, she refuses to do it, but that only makes it worse).  Also, her coping strategy is simply not talking about her emotions and keeping a straight face all the time.
Still, and even though she very reluctantly accepted help, Sho is willing to change and improve (even if she has to go through hell first).  She has shown to be too cunning for her age and to behave as if she were an adult, and even though she is slowly trying to behave according to her age, she is very difficult for her as well.
Anyway, Shoma can also be a girl who listens to others and is willing to do it regardless of the situation, and she is always there to be a shoulder on which one can cry.  She also tends to have fun when she feels calm around her, being one of the few moments when she feels and acts like a young little girl.
⟅☙⟆ Relatives ⟅☙⟆
⟣ Seiji Komori: Adoptive father.  Currently dead.
⟣ Yui Komori: Adoptive sister.  Currently alive.
⟅☙⟆ Favorite Food ⟅☙⟆
She doesn't have a single specific favorite food, but she definitely likes sweet and simple foods, like grated applesauce and banana, or a fruit salad.
⟅☙⟆ Hoobies ⟅☙⟆
⟣ Shoma likes to make paintings with her hands.  She serves to entertain him and clear her mind.
⟣ She also likes to make crowns with different types of flowers, even some bracelets and necklaces.
⟣ She has a certain fascination for mathematics and literature, so it is normal to see her do either of the two when she is bored.  The problem is when she has a hard time doing a difficult exercise.
⟣ She Likes to play decorating and decision-making video games. She likes to decorate and combine, so it is normal for her as a hobby to do the odd combination in video games, or in a room.
⟣ It may not count as a hobby, but Shoma loves to watch an episode of a series that she likes or a movie many times to imitate the lines, as if it were some kind of dubbing attempt.
⟅☙⟆ Occupation ⟅☙⟆
None, she doesn't consider herself a student, even if she studies at home.
⟅☙⟆ Relationships ⟅☙⟆
⟣ Seiji Komori, adoptive father.
She did not have a good relationship with him no matter how hard she tried at the time.  It was too obvious the favoritism that he had with Yui, and how she always stayed in the shadow of the blonde.  Despite trying to be like Yui, he could never have any kind of acceptance with her father.
⟣ Yui Komori, adoptive sister.
He adored her with her soul. Yui was Shoma's heroine, and she always tried to follow her example despite her unruly attitude as a child.  The elder Komori was Shoma's world, and he simply wanted to be with her all the time.
Things have changed now. She can't even look at her. The disgust and hatred that he has for that now young woman is simply immense. And believe it when I say she tries; she tries too hard to forget so many things that caused this feeling, but she just can't.
⟣ Yvonne Beauchene, the right hand.
Shoma's only trusted person alongside her family.  Yvonne was Shoma's guardian from the day he arrived at the church, although she had some problems because of it, and that is the reason why she had to leave, but surely nothing bad could happen, right?
⟅☙⟆ Likes ⟅☙⟆
⟣ Despite not having tasted it in recent years, she liked (and still remembers the taste of it, so she still likes) Yvonne's orange tarts a lot.  She used to do them when Seiji was not at home for her, Yui and Shoma.
⟣ She loves music, especially the one that doesn't have any type of letter and is only a beautiful and hypnotizing melody. Her favorite, and also Yvonne's, is "The Vampire Masquerade", which is the melody which Yvonne met her husband.
⟣ Regarding the above, she usually daydreams many times with music in the background and she likes that (because the real world sucks and it is her only way out of the stress and anxiety that she feels most of the time). She sometimes even draws or paints those scenarios that are formed in her head.
⟣ As said before, she likes to play decorating and decision-making video games.  Also, despite having the face of wanting some horror games (these make her heart race and sometimes she has panic attacks), she prefers Animal Crossing by a lot.
⟣ Loves snakes (which are not poisonous), cats and dogs.  Snakes are very good company, and cats and dogs are responsible for keeping her calm.
⟅☙⟆ Dislikes ⟅☙⟆
⟣ Despite having been seen surviving based on it, she does not like meat very much.  Of course, she can bear it, she even likes some (very few) meat dishes !, but there are certain types of meat that remind him too much of ... well, her own meat.
⟣ Obviously, she can't stand going to churches or things related to religion.  She gets too anxious and nervous.
⟣ Her body and mind literally rejects any kind of physical affection if she doesn't know the person very well or doesn't trust them. It's no surprise, considering her personality.  Very few people are lucky enough to even put a hand on her shoulder and not get hurt (Shoma doesn't do it on purpose).
⟅☙⟆ Fears and Phobias ⟅☙⟆
⟣ Somniphobia: fear of sleeping.
Oneirophobia, somniphobia, clinophobia or hypnophobia is an irrational and excessive fear of the act of sleeping.  People who suffer from it enter a state of panic caused by the fear that while they are sleeping something terrible will happen to them, such as the possibility of stopping breathing or that they will never wake up, even knowing that there is no threat, but  they stay awake, presenting insomnia.  Some people who have this phobia associate going to bed with death.
In some cases, panic is unleashed by the belief that the dreams that will be had when sleeping are actually delusions and these will favor falling into a state of permanent madness.  This type of phobia generates a great deal of stress and significant physical and mental deterioration, so it is not uncommon for many people to end up suffering from hallucinations, a fact that further aggravates this type of phobia: fear of sleeping.
Shoma cannot sleep because various things used to happen during these.  She remembers well once a nun (then she disappeared without a trace) entered her room and hanged her, almost killing her if it weren't for Yui screaming for help.
⟣ Theophobia: fear of religion.
Theophobia is the fear or aversion to religion or the gods, and being more common among people who are raised in an environment of iron religiosity.  Theophobia can express itself as fear, aversion, anger, or other negative emotion towards religious practices.  In some cases, the theophobic representation can categorize the deity as an arbitrary totalitarian dictator or, conversely, as unworthy of worship.
It is common among people who suffer from theophobia to avoid religious texts, houses of worship (churches, mosques, synagogues ...) and even the parishioners of a religion.
The young woman lived in a church for years and was not treated as "a daughter of God", but as "an aberration of satan" by her father and certain nuns.  She causes him so much fear that, if there really is a god, she has abandoned her for "not being worthy".  Many things together caused this irrational fear of religion in general.
⟣ Hafephobia: fear of being touched.
Hafephobia is a specific phobic disorder (unlike agoraphobia or social phobia) that causes great suffering in the person who suffers from it.
It is an irrational fear of great intensity that manifests itself when the individual suffering from the phobia comes into physical contact with other people and is touched.  It produces a series of cognitive, physiological or behavioral responses, among which extreme anxiety and the attempt to avoid the feared stimulus to reduce the unpleasant sensation stand out.
Shoma, of course, is working on this and for now she's doing very well, but if she's some stranger, she isn't going to allow herself to be touched or touched by another individual. She is so afraid that every touch will turn into a blow or something to harm her.
⟣ Atazagoraphobia: fear of forgetting.
Atazagoraphobia is the excessive fear of forgetting, which includes both the fear of forgetting and the fear of being forgotten or replaced by others.  Despite the fact that it is a common sensation, atazagoraphobia has been little described in scientific language.  In fact, it has been more pointed out by philosophers and writers who speak of atazagoraphobia as the fear of eternal anonymity.
Shoma was literally forgotten or ignored from a young age, and she doesn't want to go through it again. She doesn't want to feel so cold again that she can't breathe properly or move. She can't, she doesn't want to...
⟅☙⟆ Headcannon Voice ⟅☙⟆
Mia Rodríguez.
⟅☙⟆ Skills ⟅☙⟆
⟣ She is impressively good with knives and razors.  She usually uses them for cooking.
⟣ Literally she can imitate many voices, even male ones.  She uses it to make jokes or for some plan (to get some dessert) that she has in mind.
⟣ She is becoming more and more independent, and that is why she is getting very good at cooking.  She even manages to focus on that rather than other things.
⟅☙⟆ Extra ⟅☙⟆
⟣ She has undiagnosed “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder”.
⟣ She tends to bite her arm or bite her nails if she is very anxious.
⟣ It is difficult for her to accept some changes in her life, but she manages to adapt step by step.
⟣ She likes to play with Yvonne's family, August, her husband, being Shoma's favorite.
⟣ She is considerably innocent of the world around her, but at the same time, she isn't.  She is aware that the world revolves around that filthy green paper, and she is very clever with it.  She knows that her "condition" and her situation may be a weak point, but it is for that reason that she is also careful who she hangs out with.
⟅☙⟆ History ⟅☙⟆
Shoma arrived at the doors of the Komori family church on May 22, 2001, with only a note that said "My name is Shoma, Mom and Dad can no longer take care of me," just three weeks after I was born. She was greeted by one of the local sisters, a favorite of the owner and leader of that church, Seiji Komori. The latter named was not on that cold night, with the snow falling slowly in that beautiful place, so the same sister took care of the girl in his absence.
A girl with blond hair and pink eyes like the petals of a cherry tree approached said sister, curious by the cries that began to be heard.  Seeing her up close, and seeing that beautiful celestial gaze, the seven-year-old girl took the girl in her arms (with the permission of her sister), and did not leave her during that night until the next day. It was no surprise to the sister that her crying stopped as soon as the young Komori began to gently cradle her in her arms.
Still, from the moment Seiji arrived, he knew that something was wrong with the girl, that she was "not human", and that he probably knew whose "gift" it was.  Shoma was unwelcome, and he couldn't show her that in public, not with Yui close to her. Also, the plan deviated. No, he isn't supposed to have two daughters, and she is supposed to be just one more orphan, but the young blonde girl already called her "Shoma Umi Komori", and that could be ... Something dangerous for him.  Obviously, the orders for Shoma to come to his office were not long in coming as soon as he was two years old.
What Shoma saw in her supposed father's room was sealed in her mind, and nothing else. Every time Shoma was called to her father's office, her heart raced because she knew something bad was going to happen.  Every time that happened it was because she Shoma found out more and more that she was going to happen to every sixteen, maybe seventeen-year-old on certain dates. It was because Shoma knew too much about her, and if he couldn't make her forget everything she had seen, then she would silence her to her grave.  Every time Shoma gained courage and told Yui, she was scolded for inventing such things, and she would see her father again for "breaking her promise" to him.
The only one who managed to believe her is the same sister who received her the day Shoma arrived there, although that same sister would get a serious face everytime Sho told her that, she never had to see her father when she told Yvonne.
But, one day, Seiji went a bit far with the punishments, and let the fury just blind him, even if he didn't even regret it afterwards.  Seeing Shoma talk to someone... Important, once this man left the church it just infuriated him. That man's smile when he stopped talking to her and saw him in the eye was not good news at all.  That night, everyone heard the screams of a three-year-old girl resound throughout the establishment, and she was found in the middle of the hall with a desperate Seiji, saying that she had been playing with a poker and that she tripped, with it smacking part of her face.
Shoma began to startle every time someone moved near her, every time someone placed her hand on some part of her body, or when they called her, or when they approached her. She didn't separate from Yui or the sister she trusted so much, and even though it started to be annoying for Yui as she grew older, there were very few times when she was really rude to Shoma due to the fatigue of having her on her back every day three seconds, but they just didn't help Shoma with her fear of being alone, either with Seiji, or with certain nuns. The sister who had her trust steadfastly refused to leave her alone if she wasn't with Yui, although it was only because she slipped out of sight once.
Things escalated to the worse on December 12, 2006, at exactly a quarter past two in the morning.  It was precisely an exhausting day for the girl, because the nun who was taking care of her and her sister had to leave due to family problems, or so they told her.
The albino-haired girl couldn't sleep due to some nightmares, even though she had become very habitual.  The young woman began to hear murmurs and footsteps outside the room that she shared with Yui, and she could make out her father's voice.  She could make out her desperate tone from her ... And, strangely, anger.
Carefully, she got out of her bed without making any noise, but following a little voice in her head, she took the camera that belonged to the blonde that was a gift from her only trusted caregiver, and opened  slowly the door.  Her father had locked himself in her office, and she could hear someone else's voice.  On tiptoe, he approached the door ajar, and looked behind it.  Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw the body of one of the older girls on the ground, tied up and with blood pouring from her head.  That memory is somewhat blurry, but it remembers very well various parts of the conversation between her father and a man with long hair.  She took photos, and to her surprise, they did not have flash, and the photos came out perfectly ... That woman had many strange objects.
Once she finished, she turned, intending to leave, but one of the nuns spotted her, yelling to warn Seiji. Shoma wasted no time running and closing in on her sister's room, which she was awakened by her scream. Shoma told her everything quickly, leaving the photos to hide them, and the little girl didn't hesitate long to jump out the window (it was not the first time that she did that out of boredom), and she ran away from there.  Still, the nun had gone ahead, and it wasn't long to be just a few steps away from her with her father's poker, part of them burning. 
She remembers her sister with hatred seeing it all in horror and just standing there with the camera in her hands, shaking, to simply turn and turn her back on him.
In the blink of an eye, she was dragged by her hair by her "father" and other nuns, and before she had a chance to run away, the girl was thrown into the basement, away from other people, away from Yui, away from  everyone.  She tried to get out, scream, but no one ever came.
Nobody, nobody at all...
And here ends her story.  The young woman, thanks to her curiosity, sealed her fate.  She was destined to die in that place, even if she didn't want that, alone and starving, not knowing if Yui or someone would remember her...
But they say that there is always someone who takes care of us somewhere, right?  Even if she has no hope... Maybe there really is someone, even without her knowing it.

Lunatic Parade Ruki Mukami – (Chapter 2)
[Chapter 1] 
Tumblr media
Place: Mortstein Hotel • Guest Room / ホテル • モーントシュタイン客室
Tumblr media
Yui: (Nh...something smells so good…)
Ruki kun….?
Ruki: Oh, you’re awake huh.
Yui: Good morning….what are you doing?
Ruki: Room-services were also admirable, but since there was a kitchen so I preferred to make breakfast.
I thought to wake you up after I’m done with settings...hmph, you have a very sharp nose.
Yui: nh….I didn’t really wake up because of appetite!
Ruki: Ho? Does that mean you don’t wanna have some?
Tumblr media
Yui: Uuuh….I’ll eat…
Place: Mortstein Hotel • Balcony / ホテル • モーントシュタインバルコニー
Tumblr media
Yui: Waah….wonderful! Have you managed all of these on your own?
Yui: (Perfect table settings. Menus are Salad & Soup and on the main plates, there are….)
Ruki: It’s called egg benedict. ...I did even imagine cooking it in the Demon World.
The refrigerator’s number of ingredients in this hotel was terrible.
Yui: (Cooking such a delicious breakfast using limited ingredients means Ruki kun’s cool indeed.)
Well then, I’m gonna start eating!
Ruki: Yeah, I don’t mind while you’re eating but listen to today’s planning.
Yui: Yes.
Ruki: ...I am thinking about going to talk with that boy from yesterday one more time.
Yui: Eh? But…
Ruki: We still can’t give up even though we were declined for once, right?
Nevertheless….we’re dealing with getting back your heart after all.
Yui: Ruki kun…
Tumblr media
(But the man from yesterday, somehow he seemed to deal with some circumstances…)
(I don’t think we can get to hear everything  from that man without any troubles…)
Ruki: ...What’s wrong? You’re wrinkling your eyebrows.
Yui: Umm...that’s...what can we do so that he’ll explain everything to us…
Ruki: ….Ofcourse, I’ve also thought about that.
He somehow looked like he was facing some certain issues…
Yui: kh….So, you’re thinking that too?
Ruki: ...Well, yes.
This is why, let’s try to talk with him in a different approach. There won't be any point if it gets repeated over again, right?
Yui: I think so…
Tumblr media
(As expected of Ruki kun. Unlike me, he has always been thinking about many things…)
Ruki: Let’s pause this conversation for now...if you don’t eat then the break will get cold.
Yui: Ah...that’s right.
*Spoon*
...Yummy!
Ruki: ...Then I’m glad.
Yui: Especially the taste of this sauce...what did you apply in it?
Ruki: Oh, that was probably...cheese like thing.
Yui: ….? “Probably” you say….
Ruki: My bad, but even I don’t know how to answer your question.
It’s similar to cheese however, it was made from the animals’ milk which is unique in this Demon World.
Talking about that, there’re some pictures of the animals in the package…
Yui: I- I won’t see it…!
(...I have a bad feeling about it...I hope it won’t damage my stomach…)
Place: Rubean Lake / ルビーン 運河
Tumblr media
Ruki: It’s about that man from the underground corridor, however, I’ve found new information about him.
...Looks like he is a shoemaker.
Yui: Shoemaker?
Ruki: Yeah, they say, he is a tradesman who specializes in making shoes for women and…
The shoes that guy makes are very unique and charming, and those are very well known even in the Demon World.
Yui: I see...but…
(That shop doesn’t feel like shoemakers’ shop at all…)
|| Yui meant here “靴屋さん” kutsuya San” which basically means Mr. shoemaker. However, I have translated it like “shoemaker” as there’s no difference based on the politeness level in English.
Ruki: However, he looks like he’s completely retiring from his main job.
Yui: Eh...but why…
Ruki: ….No clue. But he must have reasons.
From here onward, it’s just my stimulation but…
Probably Earl walter is involved in the fact that he has paused making shoes.
Yui: kh...Earl?
Ruki: Mhm, probably….
According to my familiars, the time when his treasure was stolen,
Tumblr media
It’s the same time he retreated from making shoes…
That’s why, today I wanna continue the conversation by keeping in mind these possible facts.
Yui: I see...then…
Ruki: Perhaps, it will be the last chance to get to hear something from that shoemaker.
This time, while talking with him, I gotta be cautious as much as I can.
So, I also want you to land me a hand.
Yui: Mhm, got it.
Ruki: I think we should figure out the ways of how to make him split out something…
Don’t you have any idea by the way?
Yui: Uumm..let’s see…
→ Selection
Tumblr media
上手に出る / Over behaving
誠意を示す / Show good intention
Yui: We have no other way but to make him understand that our attitudes are having good intentions.
Ruki: I get your point... Maybe that’s right…
Yui: By the way, it’s important to know that man very well.
(For now, I want a little bit of information…)
Ruki: Yes, that’s what I meant.
For both humans and demons, it’s impossible to compromise without co-understanding each other.
Like I and you were, right…?
Yui: Fufu...that’s true.
(Many things happened, plus there were also sometimes when we had differences in a few cases…)
Tumblr media
(He was able to understand me...this is why, I have him now.)
(That side can’t be changed for both humans and demons. I really think so….)
Tumblr media
(kh….then, it means…)
(If I think...what would humans like me do in such circumstances…)
(If I try that out, then it should be fine I guess…?)
Ruki: ...Yui? Did something happen?
Yui: Something good...pops out in my head…
Say Ruki kun, would you mind going over there?
Ruki: Flower shop….? But for what?
Yui: Fufu, just a little.
Place: Glimmer Main Street, front of Wagon / グリンマーストリート表通りりワゴン前
Tumblr media
Yui: (Waah, they are a variety of colors…!)
What about giving these flowers to that shoemaker as a present?
Ruki: ….Flowers? Such stuff...he is a guy, you’know….
Yui: That’s true but…
But you know...that shop of the man was really dreadful.
If we decorate his shop with these a little, the atmosphere may turn out better….
Ruki: Mhm, so it’s what it was about huh….?
Yui: (Will he won’t agree…)
Ruki: Well, that’s fine. If that’s what you want then do it without asking.
I will be waiting around here.
Yui: Yes! Understood.
(Which one shall I choose…)
(Red or pink ones are very pretty though... shall I go with white and yellow ones?)
(I hope he’d like it…)
*After all*
Tumblr media
Yui: Ruki kun, thanks for the waiting. Let’s walk on then.
Ruki: Ah, but wait a sec.
Yui: Eh?
Ruki: I just thought something by being taught by your conception a while ago…
Not only those flowers but let’s buy something else for him too.
If it’s possible then the shop right there…
Yui: (...Confectionary store?)
Ruki: ...If feeling sympathy for others leads to showing a good faith in them, just as you said, then we should give more, no?
Yui: Yes...then let’s do it.
(He really appreciated my opinions…)
(May it’s a simple thing but...it makes me happy….)
Place: ‘The fear” Confectionary Shop / ザフィーア菓子店
Tumblr media
Yui: This place is crowded too.
Ruki: Yeah, according to that poster, there are a few baked sweets which are restricted for the parade.
*shows her the poster*
Ruki: Here, this one.
Yui: Waah, so cute!
(The small box of baked sweets, the tastes and also it’s wrappings are being specialized for the parade!)
Ruki: Alright then...which one will you choose? I don’t mind if you decide.
Yui: Then, this one...
Ruki: Okay, then I’m gonna tell them to wrap it.
Yui: Yes!
(By the way…)
(There are many cakes in the showcase which I haven’t even seen before…)
(Looks super delicious…)
*On the other side*
Tumblr media
Ruki: ……….
*After a while*
Ruki: Oi, let's’ move on.
Yui: Ah, yes!
Place: Underground Corridor / 地下回廊
Tumblr media
Ruki: That shoemaker's shop was...in this direction, right?
Yui: (M- may be…)
(Yesterday, we came here accidently, so I couldn’t realize at all…)
Ruki: ...hm? What’s wrong? Did you say something?
Yui: N- nothing at all. I hope we’ll find the way without facing troubles.
Ruki: ...It’s because yesterday I put some familiars out here just in case.
...Good grief, yesterday was really awful…
Yui: ...I think so...fufuh
Ruki: ….But, if I take a prediction then, you’re somehow in an unfortunate state, aren’t you?
Yui: Eh?
Ruki: Shall I press you against the wall just like yesterday…
Tumblr media
*Corners her*
Yui: Aaah…!
Ruki: I thought you wanted to receive punishment from me once again like this…
Yui: S- such…
Ruki: Fufh...your face is flushed.
*He backs off*
But unfortunately I lack the time playing with you right now. Let’s hurry.
...I want that face to be back in the normal color before you meet that shoemaker.
Yui: (...He is so…!)
*after a while/ knocks*
Yui: Excuse us.
Tumblr media
Shoemaker Man: Yes….but, you guys are from yesterday…
Yui: Very very sorry. Umm…
Ruki: We wanted to talk with you once more. Would you mind buying us some time?
Shoemaker Man: But, I told you. There's nothing to talk about.
Ruki: We’re actually aware of that. But still I want you to listen to us by any means…
We’ve heard about the reputation of your shoes. We’ve done something rude yesterday, for not having known such a famous shoemaker. 
Shoemaker Man: kh…!
Thanks for the compliments! But unfortunately I don’t make…
Ruki: We’ve heard that too. You’ve retired right?
Shoemaker: Mhm…
Ruki: That’s fine. When I heard that you make shoes without even using magics, it made me a little interested.
Yui: Without using magic? It means these are completely hand made…
Shoemaker: Yes, that’s true…
Yui: Wow! You are a real deal shoemaker, aren’t you!
Tumblr media
Shoemaker Man: Fufu...that’s right. It’s something that I am special about….
Labor work is darning painful, however it’s very worthy at the end…
I feel like the people who’ll wear it will love it for a long time as much as it takes time to make it…
I see. As expected from you. ...If you agree then can we talk a little bit more?
Shoemaker: ….But…
….Well, nevermind. Got ya, come inside.
Ruki: Ah, thank you.
Place: Underground Corridor, shoemaker’s shop / 地下回廊 靴職人の部屋
Tumblr media
Yui: Umm, it’s not something special but...if it’s good then would you accept this from us…
Shoemaker: Hm? Taking a burden for bringing a present for me…? You guys are bad…
Fufu, it’s very pretty flowers. The sweets seem to be a product of restrictions for the parade…
Ruki: ...You took a correct guess.
Shoemaker: It’s almost like a habit of mine to observe works of stuff and fashion trends.
Anyways, please wait a lil’. I’ll make some tea…
*After a while*
Shoemaker: Here you go.
Yui: We’re sorry…
Ruki: Thanks a lot. ….hm? This tea has a different aroma.
Shoemaker: Eeeh, you’re correct! This was also limited stocked for the parade. I think it also goes well with these sweets.
Yui: Waah...thank you so much!
Shoemaker: Then...what did you want to talk with me earlier?
Tumblr media
Yui: It’s about you making shoes which are handmade…
Ruki: In the first place, why’d you wanted to be a shoemaker?
Shoemaker: I wonder...who knows…
Since I didn’t have any productive things, I didn’t expect to earn a huge profit at the beginning.
Making custom shoes one by one一
Just for one person. Putting all of my heart into making just for one person was fun to me. 
Yui: Just for one person at once…
Shoemaker: Strength and brightness...the practicality is also essential but I don’t wanna ignore the design.
If the shoe doesn’t enchant one’s heart by wearing it...that shoe will be meaningless.
Yui: kh…!
Shoemaker: Thus, when I became interested in these, then I naturally started making shoes for ladies…
Ruki: I see.
Yui: (I feel like Ruki kun is denying him a little…Umm…)
Tumblr media
...Oh that’s! If it’s okay then I want to see your shoes…
Shoemaker: My shoes…? Well, if you’re fine with seeing the simple ones that were left then...I don’t mind…
Wait a little.
*Walks away*
Ruki: Oi, why did you dive into this conversation? It was a waste, isn’t it?
Yui: ...Because he was surprisingly sharing his feelings, so….
Ruki: We just can’t listen to his passion for making shoes.
We have to jump on the topic about Earl. Or it will be a waste of time, nothing else…
Yui: That’s...I am aware of that…
Shoemaker: I’ve made you wait.
Yui: ...Nope! Kh...ah…
*Fades to CG*
Tumblr media
Ruki: It’s a magnificent one indeed.
Shoemaker: Fufu, these three are the ones I still can’t lose.
Yui: Wah, incredible….!
(Jet-black high heel and bright red layout, plus…)
This is sparkling. And also it has a strange shape...is it mule?
I have set the jewels in such a way so that a few light sparkles in all rainbow colors. 
Ruki: Ho...rather than a shoe, it’s more likely to be called a work of art.
Yui: Umm, can I touch…?
Shoemaker: Mhm! I don’t mind. You can also put on if you want to…
Yui: Eh, but…
Ruki: ….isn’t that fine to wear it?
...Such a splendid shoe, it might be something that can’t be seen again.
Yui: ...You’re right. Sorry for behaving like a child...then
*CG as Yui puts on the shoes*
Tumblr media
Yui: Wah…!
(It's the first time I’ve worn such adult shoes. Feels a little strange…)
Tumblr media
Ruki: ...hmph, not bad. Thanks to these shoes as you’re looking a bit more…
Yui: Eh…?
Ruki: Nope, it’s nothing to matter.
Yui: (Ruki kun! It’s awful!)
*CG fades*
Shoemaker: nh…….
Yui: Umm, did something happen?
Shoemaker: No...that’s...that I was looking at you putting on those shoes…
I think the round toe shoes go well with you.
...Then, if I set this heel like this...no, if I do one like a princess style一
……
Yui: (He suddenly starts drawing something…)
(Hm? Could it be…)
(A sketch for the design…?)
Ruki: It’s really skillful work.
Shoemaker: Really?
It makes me happy when it is put into words.
Tumblr media
I had practiced to sketch precisely all the way through…
Despite expectations, I did anything that was helpful in making shoes no matter what…
Ruki: Why did you stop making shoes even though you’re so passionable about it..?
...If so painful and sad reasons. So sad that I can’t even say it…
Yui: Eh?
Shoemaker: You know, there’s another pair of shoes that I made putting on all of my efforts onto that…
*Shoes those shoes*
Shoemaker: It’s this one.
Yui: W-...wow…!!
(Such beautiful heels, I’ve never seen it before…)
Shoemaker: I was making over and over again to finish that until I am satisfied.
Tumblr media
Particularly this red one...probably I can’t create such a color a second time…
Ruki: Yeah….it looks very unique and passionate in color.
Shoemaker: Usually I contribute according to the choices of the customers….However, it’s different.
It’s the heel that I made thinking about personally for someone…
Yui: ...For someone…?
(It’s heels which means...he had made them by thinking of a woman, I guess….)
Tumblr media
(Could it be it’s for his lover…?)
*Parade final BGM stops*
Shoemaker: ...But, just before I was about to handle over to (her)...it got stolen.
Yui: ...Eh?
(Then the stolen thing he got back from Earl was this one…)
(This shoe…?)
Ruki: ………
So this shoe was the one that was snatched by Earl huh.
Shoemaker: Yeah, that’s true.
Because he stole that, I had missed the perfect timing to propose to her.
Yui: ngh….
Shoemaker: So, that was the circumstances of shoes I faced…
Yui: Such…
Ruki: ...However, you get back the shoes didn’t you…?
Tumblr media
Then what about confessing your feelings now.
Yui: (Certainly, that’s true…)
Shoemaker: No, I can’t do that. ….I can’t meet her anymore…
Yui: Eh?
Shoemaker: I’ve broken her heart.
I am sure she lost her interest in me….for getting unrecover shock for losing her shoes…
As a result I was even more shocked and stopped making shoes at last.
How was that? Very pathetic right…?
Yui: ...Did she directly tell these to you?
Shoemaker: Nope. These are all my conjectures though…
I was able to understand by seeing her behaviour when I last met her. That’s why I couldn’t even face her.
I am sure she will hate me so much that she doesn't wanna see my face anymore…
Yui: ...Such…
Tumblr media
(Even though she didn’t say it to him, he already made up mind to give up…)
(Such...it’s no good….!)
You just can’t give up you know!
Shoemaker: Eh…?
Ruki: O- oi….Yui.
Yui: Whether it’s too late or not….You still won’t know it, do you…?)
(Only his lover herself will know her true feelings, no one else…)
That’s right, what about if you go to meet her from now?
Shoemaker: Eeh!?
Yui: If she sees the shoes, I bet she will…!
*Ruki grabs her*
Yui: Kyaa!
Ruki: Oi, you’re cutting out the main conversation! We’re not supposed to mind this business.
Yui: But...he explained us this far after all….I can’t leave this alone.
Ruki: This is why I am saying this….haah. Right now, you have a limited time, are you awaring of that?
Tumblr media
Yui: kh...that’s... I am aware of it. But…!
Shoemaker: ….? Did something happen? You guys are murmuring for a while though…
*Ruki backs off*
Ruki: No, nothing. Anyway, finish this other topic conversations already, let’s jump right on to the main point.
The time when you get back your stolen thing, explain in detail as much as possible.
Shoemaker: kh…
Yui: Ruki kun…!
(If we force it then…!)
Ruki: Although we ended up listening to your personal stories. Then let me share some personal circumstances of us.
The thing that Earl stole was her heart. Now, it has been replaced with a kleinod which will keep her alive for a short time.
We must have to get back that as soon as possible.
This is why, explain in detail the time you get your shoes back…
Tumblr media
Shoemaker: Aah...haha, so this is what it was about huh…
I see now. I thought it was very weird for you to be interested in my occupation.
Because Of your purposes, you were acting like you were showing interest in my shoes…
Yui: ...Hold on! We didn’t plan something like that, your shoes were really 一
Shoemaker: Stop it!
Enough already. I don’t wanna hear anything…
Sorry but leave this place... I want to be alone…
Yui: Wait, let us say something...一!?
*weird sound*
Yui: (Wh- what was that…?)
Ruki: ...What’s wrong?
Yui: (...everything’s getting blurred…)
*Yui collapses*
Ruki: Yui!?
*Ruki holds Yui*
Yui: I am...alright…
Shoemaker: What happened so suddenly…?
Yui: That’s...I am okay…
Tumblr media
Ruki: You don’t have to talk...darn it, your body temperature is dropping.
Yui: ...Could it be…
(Kleinod is…?)
(No...my consciousness is…)
*Yui closes her eyes / BG black*
Ruki: ...Oii!? Oi!
Place:???
Tumblr media
Yui: (nh...this place…)
???: Oh, we’ve met again huh.
Yui: (I am familiar with this voice…)
Earl Walter…?
???: There’s something more important than that. Your partner...is Ruki, right?
Yui: Is there anything wrong with...Ruki kun?
???: No, I didn’t mean that.
It just looks like he has rushed into trouble on his own for having too much worry for you.
Yui: Troubles…
???: You made him angry. He was very close to telling you the secret.
Haah…
Looked like you were somehow helping out that shoemaker. However…
Tumblr media
Now the requirement is you and your partner have searched the shoemaker’s girl whom he wanted to propose, right?
Yui: kh…!
???: He has made this promise with the shoemaker for your sake…
...His hard work should be rewarded I think...fufu.
Yui: Wait up, what do you mean by that…
(...He goes away from here…?)
(...I have a bad feeling about it…)
*BG black*
Yui: kh…!
Place: Mortstein Hotel, Guest Room / ホテル • モーントシュタイン客室
Tumblr media
Yui: (That was...a dream…?)
(ngh...Where is Ruki kun…?)
Ruki: ……..
*Page sounds*
Yui: (That’s good...he’s just putting himself into reading…)
(There are so many books on the desk...I wonder where he got them from.)
*Turns on page*
Yui: (...But it’s something...that I missed from him…)
(...It's delicate work, but he looks happy everyday.)
(I am sure he prefers this as a part of his daily basis.)
*Page turns*
Yui: (But still I burdened him with so many problems or something...even though we’re in the middle of the parade.)
Tumblr media
(I have been always acting against his preferable things...may me he will get disgusted with me.)
(Even though he’s having eternal life...not, rather this is why he wants to spend his life calmly I guess.)
Ruki: ………
...Yui? You woke up?
Yui: Yes...how long was i sleeping?
Ruki: ...The exact time it took to finish reading two books.
Yui: I see...I am sorry.
Tumblr media
Ruki: You don’t have to apologize. Above that, how’s your condition?
Yui: Looks like I am fine now, thank you.
Ruki: I see, Then let’s go searching for the shoemaker’s lover.
Yui: If we find out the person he wants to propose to, then he'll tell us about Earl, right?
Ruki: kh...you surprised me. I thought you were completely fainted but were you listening to our conversation?
Yui: Yes, I am sorry…
(The truth is that I heard it in my dream...I don’t want to bring extra troubles so let’s be silent for now.)
Ruki: Well, if it’s true then there’s no point of explanation. Let’s go to the main street.
Place: Rubean Lake / ルビーン 運河
Tumblr media
Our destination is the sugar house. It’s said that she works there as an assistant.
Yui: (Ruki kun has been collecting correct information as always…)
(I also have to do my best…)
Place: ‘The Fear’ Confectionary Shop / ザフィーア菓子店
Tumblr media
Ruki: It’s here, Come.
Yui: Yes...will you also buy a souvenir?
Ruki: Nope, not that case...Which one you want to eat?
Yui: ...Me?
Ruki: At that time, you were staring at these, weren’t you?
Yui: ngh…!
Ruki: These are delicious so let’s get them. There are also some spaces for eat-in.
Yui: ...Is it okay?
Ruki: Yeah, it’s fine if it’s a little.
Yui: ...Thank you.
(...By that time, he meant when we came here to purchase a present for the shoemaker…?)
(When did he notice that I was interested in these cakes...I wonder.)
(He saw it when I wasn’t aware of him I think…)
(But I am worrying whether I am being a burden to him for this or not.)
Ruki: Why are you making such a face. If you are having problems choosing, then are you gonna eat every single one of these?
Yui: I- I can’t eat such amounts…
Ruki: Then, I’ll help you so...don’t hesitate.
Yui: ...Really? Alright then...
Tart, mousse, jelly, mille crêpes, sachertorte and…
Ruki: kh….! Oi...are you serious…?
Tumblr media
Yui: Fufuh... no way. Just kidding.
Ruki: ...You…
Yui: (Just for now...let’s spend time without thinking anything.)
Place: Sugar House / シュガーハウス
Tumblr media
Sugar house assistant: You’re welcome here.
Ruki: ….You know the shopkeeper who works in a shop in the underground corridor, right?
Sugar house assistant: kh...Did he say something…
Yui: (Ruki kun is...too abrupt.)
Sorry for saying so suddenly. We wanted to search you for your boyfriend.
Sugar house assistant: kh...I can’t meet him anymore. Please tell him sorry.
Ruki: What do you mean?
Sugar house assistant: Please leave it as it is. I want to forget him already.
Yui: If it’s okay then would you mind explaining the reason? He was really depressed about that…
We want him to become lively once again…! Please!
Sugar House Assistant: ……….
Tumblr media
Understood. I’ll explain everything. But in exchange, can you tell him to forget about me?
Ruki: ...If your reasons can convince him, then yes.
Sugar House assistant: Honestly I was thinking to have a good future with him. But, I didn’t want to cause trouble for that.
My younger sister has been sick since she was born...it means I must have to face troubles for nursing her.
But, if I do that, then it’ll be a great problem for him….I can’t allow that.
This is why, at least...I just don’t want to be a burden to him. That’s why I've decided not to meet him anymore.
Ruki: Looks like you have decided something very complacency...if it would be that man, then he would agree to face these troubles.
Sugar house assistant: This is why I disagree...I really love his shoes. So I wanted to devote myself to help him out in making shoes.
Yui: ...I understand those feelings.
Ruki: Oi?
Tumblr media
Yui: (“I like him, so I don’t want to bother him. I like him, that’s why I don’t want to a burden to him.”)
Ruki kun, I am sure these are the feelings... for love.
Ruki: ngh…!
Monologue  一
Tumblr media
Ruki kun had become silent like that.
...I am sure he had gulped all the words he wanted to say.
Not tolerating the awkward face that Ruki kun was making, she gave us a spa ticket on out way back.
We left the store as the conversation didn’t get lively.
End of Monologue
Place: Spa / スパ
Tumblr media
Yui: ...So nice feeling.
(We got separated in the changing room, so I interned in the hot spring alone...but I am somehow feeling down.)
Ruki: ...You were here after all.
Yui: kh….! Ruki kun!
Ruki: ...Tell me
Tumblr media
Do you think those two will be happy?
Yui: ….I hope so. They are a good couple.
Ruki: But, if they love each other, then they won’t be willing to struggle for mutual concerns right?
Yui: ...Yes.
Ruki: ...I don’t think they will be able to understand each other that easily yet.
Yui: I am sure it won’t be easy...but there are different kinds of love.
Ruki: ...I see.
Yui: (Her words, her boyfriend’s... and Ruki kun’s…)
(Without any doubt, they are sharing the same feeling(s) from the beginning, then why did it turn out like this…)
Ruki: ...The wind feels so nice.
Yui: Yeah, that’s right…
………
(I don’t know what should be the correct decision though, let’s think about it.)

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Reiji Heaven [01]
Tumblr media
CHAPTER MASTERLIST
ー The scene starts in Yui’s bedroom in the Sakamaki manor
*Knock knock*
Yui: Yes.
Reiji: Dinner is ready to be served.
Yui: Ah, gotcha. I’ll be right there.
ー Reiji enters the room
Reiji: I made many of your favorites today.
Yui: Wah! I can’t wait! Then let’s hurry and...
( Huh? What is this? This scent... )
Reiji: ...Is something the matter?
Yui: N-No...
( It smells lovely but...Could it be perfume? Has Reiji ever worn a fragrance before? )
( ...He hasn’t, has he? Then somebody else’s scent got on him...? )
Reiji: Your face tells me otherwise, mind you.
Yui: ( Then whose scent could this be...? )
ー Reiji steps closer
Reiji: ...Are you listening to me? 
Yui: Ah...Yes! My bad. 
ー He steps back again
Reiji: ...If anything, you seem suspicious of something. 
Please tell me if something is troubling you. 
You will not gain anything from keeping it bottled up. Right?
Yui: ...Right.
Reiji: So, what’s the matter?
Yui: Your scent bothers me...
Reiji: Scent...?
Yui: Yes. You have an unfamiliar scent on you...
Reiji: ...Aah. Oh. You’re talking about this?
Yui: It’s perfume, isn’t it...?
Reiji: Yes. Laito decided to spray perfume on me as a prank. 
Seems like the scent really got stuck on me. 
Yui: Laito-kun did...?
( I see. ...Now it makes sense. Thank god... )
Reiji: Do you feel relieved? 
Yui: Yes...!
Reiji: Fufu...You suspected that I might have gotten intimate with someone other than you, did you not?
Yui: Eh? ...I-I didn’t!
Reiji: No point in telling such obvious lies.
Yui: ...I’m sorry. I did grow a little anxious...
Reiji: I have to say, it does not feel bad to see you get jealous like that every once in a while. 
Yui: Wha...? I-I wasn’t jealous...!
Reiji: You were, weren’t you? 
Yui: I’m not, this is...
Reiji: Fufu, I suppose we can leave it at that. Otherwise this argument will go on forever. 
I am willing to concede and agree this was not a case of jealousy, just like you claim.
Yui: ( Uu...When he reacts in such a mature way...It feels like I’m the one who got the short end of the stick... )
Reiji: Well then...It appears to me that you are not fond of this scent, so I suppose I shall go change clothes before we eat. 
Yui: T-That’s not true! I actually thought it smelt lovely...
Reiji: Is that so? If you like it that much, allow me to put some on you as well.
Yui: You own this perfume? 
Reiji: No, I do not.
However, I can still transfer it to you. 
Like this, you see...
ー He embraces her 
*Rustle* 
Yui: Wah...!
Reiji: If I hold you in my arms like this, the scent will eventually get on you as well, no? 
Yui: Well...
( I feel like this is really the most embarrassing approach but... )
( It feels really nice when he holds me like this... )
*Rustle* 
Reiji: However...I do feel like it’d be somewhat of a shame for your natural scent to be lost...
Yui: Eh...?
Reiji: Your scent always helps me calm down after all...
Yui: Y-You’re going to make me blush...
Reiji: I am aware. I said it on purpose because I figured that would be the case. 
You are adorable with your cheeks flushed bright red in embarrassment...
*Smooch* 
Yui: R-Reiji-san...!
Reiji: What’s the matter? ...Aah, you must have wanted a kiss on the mouth, correct? As you wish.
I shall kiss these quivering lips as well... Nn...
ー Yui closes her eyes
Yui: ( Reiji-san’s kisses...They’re as sweet as sugar (1)... )
Reiji: Fufu, your face...It turned even redder. Almost like an apple...
Speaking of apples, we’re actually having apple pie as dessert tonight...
Yui: Ah...
( Oh no. It is dinner time. I better hurry to the dining room. )
Reiji: Fufu...I am honestly surprised you would be so focused on my embrace, you even forgot that it was time to eat...
I suppose we can continue this...After our dinner. 
I shall drown you in this scent...Is that okay with you...?
Yui: ...Yes...!
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー 
Translation notes
(1) In Japanese, she compares his kisses to the sweet flavor of a fruit, but in English, ‘sweet as sugar’ is more common of an analogy, so I used that one instead.

[Haikyuu!! Light Novel Vol. 11 Unofficial English Translation]  Michimiya's Lie
Tumblr media
Translator's notes: Hello! It's finally here! The first story of volume 11 of Haikyuu's light novel. Just a few reminders I guess? These are unofficial translations and I can't guarantee 100% accuracy. I tried my best to stay as accurate as possible. Feel free to point our any mistakes or comments to help improve my translations <3 Other translation notes at the end of the story. PS. It's nice to read more about Michimiya. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.
Where to buy the originals: Here
Masterlist
________________________________________________________ Even if you said it just turned 6 pm, the outside had become darker as night than it is as dusk. Lately, days are short and the wind that touches the face is cold. It was right to wear a coat when you left the house which you thought may be a little too early to wear.
By the rotary in front of the station, Michimiya Yui is finding stars in the open night sky.
“That one is Orion.” Then, where is the North Pole? Was it the one in the middle of the Big Dipper? No, that’s wrong. If she draws a line from a certain constellation, it should be there. But, what constellation was it? Ursa Major? Ursa Minor? She's sure she had memorized it back when she was in elementary.
After returning her raised head and immediately giving up on finding the North Pole, Michimiya Yui hurried back home.
Will she be able to come home before the 7 pm special program? Did she set-up the video recording in advance?
She was carelessly worrying about the television program while hurrying back home.
Then, her feet suddenly stopped.
“Eh, no way.”
Among the people who are similarly hurrying back home, Michimiya’s eyes are staring at the back of that person wearing a black jersey walking around a block ahead of her.
“What do I do? But what if, I’m wrong? No, I’m not wrong. What to do? Impossible, he is also not listening.”
Though for some reason Michimiya was muttering, she bit her lips like she'd made up her mind and looked down at the boots she’s wearing. From her boots, tights, skirt, and coat, she checked her attire from bottom to top.
“It’s okay. I’m not wearing anything weird.” As she nodded encouragingly, she fixed her bangs through the camera of her phone.
Yoshi!
Then, slapping her cheeks with her two hands, Michimiya kicked the pavement and started running on the night road. Like she was rushing towards the court as if there was a match starting.
“Sawamura!”
____________________________
“Ah, what the- So it’s you Michimiya.”
The man who turned back, wearing a black jersey and holding a sports bag was, of course, Karasuno High School’s volleyball team captain, Sawamura Daichi.
Hahaha, she was told, “what the…”
Though slightly hurt by that, Michimiya without being disheartened asked Sawamura, “Why are you around here? What about today’s practice?”
“Ah, since we ended early today, I went to buy some things like my phone charger. Here.”
After showing the plastic bag from the electronics store, Sawamura continued. “I think it’s because it’s worn out but the one I’m currently using is in really bad shape. I thought that since I can also use it in Tokyo, I should probably prepare a replacement in advance. I just don’t want to panic when it happens.”
“Preparation for Spring High, huh?”
“Yeah. How about you? Where are you going, Michimiya?”
Being asked back, Michimiya hesitated just for a moment.
“Eh? Ah, I just went to hang out with Mao for a little bit. Did you know that we really ate a lot? Recently I’ve been wasting so much that my pocket money is not enough, and I certainly gained weight after retiring!” she said and laughed.
Ah-- what is she saying? She didn’t need to specifically say that she gained weight. Michimiya felt disheartened. However, Sawamura replied.
“Heeeh, Ukai-san also said the same thing before. He gained weight after he retired.”
The matter about girls’ talk of gaining and losing weight was completely ignored.
“Haha, is that so!”
Though laughing with all her might, Michimiya is feeling down.
---- Somehow, she feels like she's the only one pointlessly going around.
Sawamura who is standing before her is completely and truly the same as always. He is a person who just blurts out things like “How about we run for a bit right now?” whenever he likes and who makes a face of a typical men’s volleyball team captain. Michimiya is somehow pressed for words. She doesn't know what she should say. Maybe, “Ukai-san and I are similar then?” She can only say trivial things.
Why is that?
During middle school, she wasn’t this nervous when she was speaking to Sawamura. They even usually talked about things like their club activities, family matters, and tv programs. No, sometime in middle school until recently, she feels like there was no feeling of not knowing what she should talk about. Since when has it been like this?
“Michimiya, that’s where your house is, isn’t it? Because mine is straight ahead.”
“Yes.”
When she lifted her face, Sawamura was pointing across the pedestrian crossing. That’s right. They will separate ways from here on. Sawamura goes straight ahead while Michimiya crosses the pedestrian crossing to the other side.  
“Bye,” Sawamura said, and he quickly walked away.
“Ah, yeah bye.”
The moment she said that and waved her hand, a wave of sadness came over her.
Though it was one of the rare times they got to go home together, somehow the time passed indistinctly. At least, if the stoplight was red then he could have waited until it turned green, but it was already green. Rather, she could have called him out. No, isn’t it nice that until here they were able to walk together and talk a little? Like this, after a few months, it’ll be graduation.
That’s right. When this winter ends it’ll be graduation, and chance meetings like this will be gone. Ah-- but even if it’s like that, saying things like “bye,” he just went straight ahead like that as usual.
-----------------------------
Watching the back of Sawamura as he started to walk away, her chest got tighter. It’s difficult. Painful. The pain pushes tightly starting from her chest coming all the way up to her throat. It’s a reproachful green light and yet why does it flicker as if it drives her forward if she won’t cross the street. Ah, she hates it. She really hates it.
What she hates is that she's the only one who isn’t straightforward. She's weak, huh. She hates being weak. She wants to become stronger.  
Then once again, she slapped her cheeks and tried to motivate herself at that moment.
To find the way out, the pain, which had forcefully and continuously come up from her chest all the way up to her throat, had become words that popped out of her mouth.
“Sawamura!”
_______________________
“Yeah, what’s the matter?”
Sawamura who was called stopped just ahead and turned around.
“Eh? Ah, No…..Uhm, It’s…., E--- The, hahahaha…..”
What does she do? She's troubled. She didn’t have a purpose for stopping him.
Since the earlier “Sawamura!” was similar to a hiccup or a sneeze which selfishly came out of her mouth contrary to what she intended to do, she really didn’t have a purpose for calling him out. But, she can’t say that.
What to do? What to do? She should say something. It’s going to be weird if she doesn’t say something. Uhh….
Though Michimiya was in a hurry, when she found the bright street lamp by the road ahead, once again her hand moved before she could think. She pointed at the street lamp and said. “Ah! Uhh, Salt! Right, salt and soy sauce, then olive oil? Yup, that! Somehow it looks like they only have it at the big supermarket here. What’s that? Pickiness? My mom seems to have something like that? It’s troublesome, isn’t it?”
“Eh? Ah, is that so?”
Without noticing Michimiya’s slightly peculiar energy, Sawamura said, “Ukai-san also said something similar to that. Something about beer, I think?” He looked at the direction of the supermarket once again, “Then, we’re going in the same direction.” He ascertained. Michimiya, without knowing why,  thought “Thank you, Ukai-san!” While thanking him from the bottom of her heart, she nodded.
“Yes!”
“Then, let’s go?”
Behind the two who started walking, the stoplight turned red.
__________________
She lied.
The fact that she easily blurted out a lie, perhaps, she is bad. What does she do?
Mom, I’m so sorry. Until now, I planned to live an honest life but from today, I have become a bad liar.
As she was apologizing to her mother, the pain Michimiya felt until a while ago was gone. Her heart, on the contrary, was refreshed, her footsteps light. Even the awkwardness when speaking to Sawamura disappeared.
“Even so, it’s finally Nationals huh? It’s really amazing. Because when you speak of Spring High, it’s just so amazing that you’ve come to not really know what it is,” Michimiya said.
“That thing is not true right? Gestalt Collapse, huh.”
“No. But Spring High is just so unreachable. Ah, I shouldn’t say that. We aimed for that after all. However, rather than 'We’ll go to Nationals' things like ‘We won against Seijou’ or ‘We won against Shiratoriza’ are more familiar. You can actually feel it ‘like woah, it’s amazing!’”
“Aah, if it’s like that, I think I can understand.”
“For me, I can’t go to Tokyo but I’ll definitely watch on tv and give my support!” Michimiya replied.
“Aah, yes please.”
“But you see, both you and Sugawara are not only doing club activities but also studying at the same time, men’s volleyball really is amazing, huh.” While they were talking about things like that, Michimiya noticed something.
If it’s something about volleyball, they could talk normally. Ah, that’s right. It’s probably after she retired from club activities that she had come to not know what to talk about. Maybe it’s because they’re not both volleyball team captains anymore. Maybe it’s wrong? She wonders what it is. No, well, she guess it’s okay since they can freely talk if it’s about volleyball. However, up to the point that she told a lie, how is it that they can only talk about volleyball?
Sawamura without noticing the complicated feelings of Michimiya who was walking beside him, like the way he is, said and laughed. “No, back in first year I did receive failing marks you see. I’m worried about how next year will be.”
Things like who will be fit to be the next captain? Or how Seijou's 2nd years would be? What kind of people will Dateko’s 1st year players be? Even here, stories of nothing but club activities continue. If Sugawara were here, he'd probably say “You’re slow!” then get angry or laugh, but luckily or unluckily, Sugawara is not here. It’s only the two of them.
Then while both of them continued talking about their club activities, the two, at last, arrived in front of the Supermarket.
“Then, I’ll go shopping now!”
After she pointed at the almost blinding bright inside of the store, Michimiya laughed and then waved her hand as if it was nothing. “Bye!”
Truthfully, they were supposed to separate by the crossing but even if it’s just around 5 minutes, it was nice that they were able to walk together a bit longer. Yes, that’s good. She shouldn’t think things like disappointment or sadness, or “It’s ends here huh.” She told herself. However, not knowing about Michimiya’s resignation, Sawamura instead of waving back said, “I’m hungry. I think I’ll also buy something.”
_________________________
The apple is red and colorful while the carrot is bright orange. The radish somehow reminds her of negative things so she’ll ignore it while the cauliflower is fluffy like a puppy which makes it cute. The tofu is tightly lined up and if she looks at the Japanese pickled vegetables, surprisingly it’s beautiful as it is of various colors. How come? Was the supermarket always this sparkling? Michimiya cheerfully walks around the crowded store while holding an empty basket.
Tumblr media
Whenever she goes out to the supermarket for errands she does not really think of anything but today whatever she sees looks delicious and fun. “Meat!” “Steaming Hot Pot!” Even the senseless BGM is fun. The various fruits, ice cream, pasta sauce, toothbrush, flour mix. The candies which change colors, even the combinations of sorts of the small steamed buns by grandma’s house. Anyhow, to the extent that she wants to put anything inside her basket, even herself knows that her spirits are way too high.
Calm down, dear self. It’s impossible. I can’t calm down.
“Ah, this one. Someone frequently bought this for me when I was a child. So it was 20 yen.”
Sawamura said who was beside Michimiya who in turn was holding a yogurt-flavored candy.
“This is the same one as Nishinoya ate just recently.”
“Eh, for real? It probably suits him.”
“Does cheap sweets suit him? Or does it not? No, wait. It does suit him.”
“Right?”
Then, they looked at each other and laughed.
Crap. This is fun. Forever and ever doing it like this.
“This. My mom usually buys this but honestly, it’s bitter.”
“No way! I discovered chocomint soy milk,” Michimiya exclaimed.
“Natto snack? What do you mean?”
I wanted to exchange things like that while walking round and round but I can’t do that. The things I have to buy have been decided beforehand. Truthfully, it’s okay even if I don’t buy anything.
“Uhh, salt, where is it again? This is where flour-related products are. Uhh… ah. There it is.”
As she arrived before the shelves where the condiments are, Sawamura who followed her was shocked.
“Wow. There are a lot. Which one are you buying?”
“Eh? Ah.. uuh”
Then, what should I buy?
More than she thought there were a lot of salt, salt, salt in front of her. Michimiya is at a loss. To begin with, she doesn't know what they were using at home. For now, she will just pick the one slightly expensive and put it in the basket. Well, it doesn’t really matter whatever she gets.
Beside her, Sawamura took the same salt and muttered, “Deep-sea water salt, huh. How is the taste different from the usual salt?”
“It’s a little mild, I think? But I’m not sure. I don’t lick only salt anyways.”
“Mildness, huh? I think I understand the differences in salt. I think if it’s Shimada-san, he probably knows.”
Looking at Sawamura’s face who was looking at the package of salt so earnestly, Michimiya, without thinking, laughed.
“What is it?” Sawamura questioned.
“Eh? No, it’s nothing! I just thought that maybe I should buy another one and try to compare them.” While dodging the question, Michimiya put a bag of ordinary table salt.
“Not a master of sake but a master of salt huh.”
“Yeah.”
Then, at the next shelf, she chose the barrel-prepared natural soy sauce because it also has a slightly higher price. Continuing at the opposite shelf, she chose the organic extra virgin olive oil.
“With these, I’m done! Then, what are you buying Sawamura? Bread? Onigiri?”
“Eh? Aah, do they have yakisoba bread?”
“You like that right?”
“It’s not that I particularly like it...wait? Hmm, do I like it?”
Sawamura is thinking while making a serious face again. It’s interesting.
But, to prevent not being asked “What is it?” again, Michimiya controlled herself from laughing and walked to search for bread. Not really. There’s not one thing that is particularly interesting. We’re just shopping as usual. But, she can’t help break into a smile anyway.
Eventually, she saw that there was no yakisoba bread. Worrying about what to get between hamburger bread and chicken sandwich was also fun. Choosing the money inside her wallet which was just barely enough was also fun. Everything was fun. Everything.
She probably understood the feelings of the people in musicals who suddenly sing and dance, Michimiya thought. If she does not pay attention and consciously make a meek face, she would  to an extent carelessly skip inside the store. She can’t help that it’s just a fun, fun shopping experience.
_________________________
After exiting the supermarket, Sawamura immediately started eating the hamburger bread. Based on the reasoning that the poor can’t afford manners, in front of a young high school man’s hunger, things like manners are too much.
“You’re really hungry huh.”
When Michimiya laughed, Sawamura inserted the straw into the packet of his milk coffee and strangely asked back, “Eh, there’s no need to lie right?”
Ah. My ears hurt.
It was when Michimiya looked down.
“Ah, it’s Karasuno’s volleyball team”
Suddenly, after the name of their school was called, Sawamura and Michimiya at the same time raised their heads. In front of their eyes were three men wearing blazers standing.
With a half-eaten hamburger bread in one hand, Sawamura opened his mouth.
“Ah. It’s Datekou’s Moniwa-kun and...”
That’s right. The ones who called out were Date Tech High School Volleyball team’s 3rd year students, Moniwa, Kamasaki and Sasaya.”
“Eh, people from Dateko?”
“Yeah.”
Though the two students from Karasuno were surprised with this sudden chance meeting, the students of Dateko, on the other hand do not at all express their surprise through words and instead are showing inexpressible discomposure.
If one thinks that the ex-captain Moniwa is retreating while unsteadily staggering, the former middle blocker Kamasaki stands dauntingly, with eyes open wide and barely moving. At their back, former wing spiker Sasaya calmly opened his eyes wide. Though for a short while the three were at a loss for words without even saying any greetings. Eventually they looked at each other’s dumbfounded faces and with trembling mouths, talked.
“Ha…. more than the fact that you're going to the Nationals, a man and woman walking side by side? What is this? What’s with that? Reality?”
“Wait, these two…shopping together?”
“Shopping...no way….perhaps, this is that rumored ‘Nabe-pa’?”
“Wait, Nabe-pa is an urban legend, right?”
“What urban legend? Do you understand what we’re saying?”
“Is it bad if I don’t understand?”
“Well, of course it's not good.”
He doesn’t understand what the conversation is about. He doesn’t understand, but looking at the people he knew suddenly start a useless quarrel in front of them, Sawamura cannot stand quietly.
“No, Uhh, Sasaya-kun? Here is the front of a store, so….” As he was trying to stop the scene, the other three, who were now looking teary-eyed, glared back at him. Without thinking, he winced. At that time, the three people from Dateko gave out something like those times when Sawamura, who unifies the 1st and 2nd year problem children of Karasuno, almost lost his nerves or probably some iron wall higher than the one they face during matches.
Watching the three fighting over nabe on the road, Sawamura said, “I think they’re the type best left as is.”
“I think so, too.” Michimiya firmly nodded.
Together, these two, as captains, have come to unify their team members. On one side they are not at all dull nor late bloomers, but they fundamentally excel in assessing the situation. These two decided that this is where they should draw back from the three.
“Let’s go."
“Yeah.”
Then, the two left the three players of Dateko and started walking away from the Supermarket.
“I wonder what that was?”
“Maa, there’s a lot of things.”
“Right.”
After laughing, they looked at each other.
“Well, since I go this way...”
“Aah”
“Bye”
Michimiya laughed. Today, they said several goodbyes. Yet, there was no sadness like the one she felt until a moment ago. If she said any complaints about having a fun time like this, surely she’ll be punished.
“See you tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
The two waved their hands and then, they walked onto their respective paths.
_____________________
After fixing her hold on the grocery bag, carrying it with two hands instead of one, she muttered to herself.
“So heavy--”
The bag contains 2 bags of 1kg salt, 1 liter of soy sauce, and 50 ml of olive oil packed in a glass bottle. There’s no way it’s light.
After all, these are not needed. It would have been good if she had chosen lighter ones. Something like pepper or wheat or fried tofu. Either way, how will she explain to her mom the salt, soy sauce and olive oil. She can’t say the truth. With that said, she also has to say another lie.
Be that as it may, she was paying for her sins, and her mind was cloudy. At that time, a voice behind her was heard.
“Michimiya!”
When she looks back, she is surprised. The person who was crossing the pedestrian is Sawamura whom she just parted with just now.
“Eh? Eh?!”
As she stood holding tightly the rustling heavy vinyl bag, Sawamura, who caught up, said,
“I forgot to say something.” His face changed to a serious one after he smiled.
When Michimiya straightened her back without thinking, Sawamura talked.
“Thank you for the protective charm you gave before.”
“Eh. Ah, yeah.”
“I’ll bring it to Spring High as well.”
After saying only that, Sawamura said, “Bye.”
Then again, he turned back and started walking.
“Ah, yeah!”
With his back facing her, replying only was the best she could do.
“.......................”
It’s the usual Karasuno Volleyball Team Jersey. The back of a black jersey which is more familiar than their uniform will immediately tell you it’s Sawamura. No matter how dark it is. No matter how far he is. There’s no mistaking it. Indeed, it’s a back that has the dependability of a captain.
------ Indeed a captain?
Michimiya thinks.
Was I able to show my friends and kouhai a back like that? Without being ashamed, was I able to perform and be devoted?
As soon as she thought of that, Michimiya shouted, “Wait!”
Sawamura stopped his feet and turned back. “What is it?”
Michimiya held out the heavy vinyl bag and said. “This! You see, this, today, the truth is we don’t really need it.”
“Eh? Ah, is that so?”
“Yeah, I’m sorry.”
Michimiya put her head down after saying that. Sawamura answered, as if he was slightly troubled.
“No, there’s no need to apologize, right.”
“No. It’s no good. Because….” Michimiya shakes her head.
Sawamura spoke. “It’s okay. Even if you don’t use it today, someday you’ll use it right?”
“Eh? Ah, yeah. That’s right but…”
That is true but the problem is---- As she was thinking that, Sawamura continued.
“Recently, Ukai-san said --”
“Eh? Ukai-san again?”
“Yeah. Somehow, when he went along to do his family’s shopping, he was asked to line up several times to buy this bread called “Only 1 Loaf of Bread” from one of the famous stores. They have to eat it before it goes bad so everyday, every meal he continues to buy the bread and with that, it was really tiring.”
Bread? What is he talking about? Michimiya was doubtful but Sawamura’s face was serious all throughout so in the meantime she’ll keep listening.
“If you compared that to the bread, the salt and the soy sauce isn’t so bad.”
“Ah, yeah. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t get moldy?”
“Right?”
“Yeaaah?”
So, that’s it. That’s what the story was about, huh. Will it get molds? Will it not get molds? Is it good to talk about mold? Salt certainly does not get molds but…
At that time, her head was full of things about mold.
Sawamura spoke again, “Then, tell me how the Deep-sea water salt tastes like.”
“Eh?”
“Hey, salt master. Earlier, you said that it might taste mild but on the contrary, without putting unnecessary things, there is a possibility that it’ll have a sharp taste, right?”
Being lured by Sawamura’s serious face all throughout, Michimiya forgot about molds and pondered.
“You’re right. Yeah, I’ll try it once I get home.”
“Well then, tomorrow, please let me know.”
After saying that and smiling, Sawamura said, “bye,” and once again turned on his heel.
“Yeah! Tomorrow!” She cheerfully called out and waved her hand.
She saw his back walk across the street and watched it grow smaller and smaller as he moved farther away. It was when he finally turned at the corner and disappeared from her sight that Michimiya released her breath.
“Tomorrow, huh.”
As she said that, she held her cheeks with her two hands.
Hot, I’m sure my face has become bright red. Good thing it is dark, she thought. Since I’m absolutely making a weird face.
As she breathed in the perfectly clear winter air with all her might, Michimiya looked up at the night sky.
“So Tomorrow!”
She breathes out all her feelings together with a frosty breath. Then she faced front and started walking. Holding the heavy and precious package, she embraced in heart her small, small promise with Sawamura.
Salt, it’s okay to just taste it as is but maybe she should try making an onigiri and compare? There's also the option of dipping boiled egg to it and eating it.
As she is thinking about things like that, she starts to run before she knows it.
Just by running, it feels like tomorrow will come faster.

Some Translation Notes:
Gestalt Collapse: ゲシュタルト崩壊 (Gestalt Collapse) is a term in Japanese which describes the phenomenon of a complex character breaking down into its component parts in one's mind and losing its meaning if one stares at it for a short while. Source: http://www.antimoon.com/forum/t8706.htm (Will try to find a more reliable source)
"Not a master of sake but a master of salt huh.” The original line is 効き酒ならぬ、効き塩 (Kikisake naranu kikishio) An alternative translation is "It's tasting salt instead of tasting sake"
Nabe - Hot Pot
Kouhai - Lower classmen
Nabe-pa - Short-term for Nabe Party
Natto - Fermented Soybeans
Tsukemono - Japanese Pickled Vegetables
一斤限り Ikkinkagiri Is the Japanese name of the bread the Ukai-san bought. There's no official translation for the name yet so I did my best to translate in English. 一斤 ikkin means loaf of bread while 限り means limit/only/degree.
衣食足りて礼節を知る[ishoku tarite reisetsu wo shiru]:the poor can't afford manners can also be translated as only when basic needs for living are met can people spare the effort to be polite

Since you think laito might be pan, how do you think he would react and deal to a s/o who is a male? (Sorry for my bad English)
Hi anon! Your English isn’t bad at all btw, don’t worry about it!! :) 
However, I’m not a react blog, so I’m sorry about that! I don’t do creative writing (mainly because I suck ass at it). But yeah, I do have a head canon that he would be pan! If he would have a partner who is male (using the term “partner” pretty loosely in this case, haha) I’d imagine he’d treat them the same as any other person he’s attracted to. Hell, he’s even teased Kou in a similar fashion that he does with Yui, so that’s pretty much my take on it. 
I don’t think Laito would be like “oH i’M aTtRacTed tO a mAn?” he’d be like “aight im attracted to this person who happens to be a guy, I don’t care, time to get funky”
Also, not implying that Laito’s attracted to Kou; I don’t think he is, but he’s definitely comfortable sexually teasing men. Sure some of my straight guy friends do that to each other but it’s far from Laito’s level, and again,,,, it’s Laito we’re talking about.

Yui was a photographer. She took pictures of many things and always went according to a theme. Her theme always changed every month. Her theme this time was cafe and so she went to cafe in the morning.
After getting permission to take photos of the cafe, she sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. A few seconds later, her coffee had been delivered and she had taken a few pictures of it.
''Excuse me? Can I sit here? Every other seat is taken,'' She looked up to see a girl with short brown hair. The girl was wearing a highschool uniform which made Yui feel bad for staring at her at all. ''Of course you can,'' Yui smiled as the girl sat down on the opposite side of her.
''What's your name? I'm Sayuri,'' The girl said as she waited for her drink. Yui looked up from her coffee and said, ''I'm Yui.'' ''Do you like photography?'' Sayuri asked, looking at Yui's camera. ''Yeah, I'm a photographer.''
There was silence after that as they both stared at each other. It felt so wrong but so right at the same time.
''Here's your latte, ma'am.'' Sayuri looked away, thanking the worker. She was about to take a sip of the latte when Yui asked if she could take a photo for her new theme. ''Theme?'' Sayuri questioned. ''Ah, I always have a theme for my photos. I change the theme every month,'' She explained. ''Oh? You can indeed take a photo of me,'' She smiled as she lifted the latte to her lips.
Yui took a few photos of Sayuri before taking a look at them. ''Are they good?'' Sayuri asked. Yui nodded, ''I'll show you them when I print them.'' ''Are we going to see each other again?'' Sayuri suddenly asked. Yui gulped as she realised that she may not be able to see Sayuri again. ''I have an idea, let's exchange numbers and meetup somewhere at the start of every month.'' ''Why at the start of every month?'' Yui asked. ''Because you change your theme every month and I really want to help you take photos!'' Sayuri smiled.
''Oh? Sure,'' Yui took out her phone and they exchanged numbers.
~~~
Yui and Sayuri met up in a field with a lot of flowers. Yui's theme for this month was, of course, flowers. ''Are you gonna take solo shots of the flowers first?'' Sayuri asked. Yui shook her head. ''Can you lay in the flowers?'' She asked, Sayuri doing so.
Yui stood by Sayuri's feet and took a photo. Sayuri accidently pointed her toes out and made Yui fall on top of her. They both froze for a few seconds as they stared into each others eyes before Yui rolled off of Sayuri. They both started laughing.
''Ah! You should take a photo of us right now.'' Sayuri suggested as Yui lifted her camera up. She took a picture of the both of them. ''Oh, Sayuri, I also printed those photos.'' She took the photos out of her pocket and handed them to Sayuri. She looked through the photos and found the one of her sipping on the latte. ''I do look really pretty in this photo,'' She smiled.
''You're really good at taking pictures.'' Sayuri said as she gave the photo back to Yui. ''Really? Thank you,'' There was a bit of a silence as they laid closer to each other.
''Will this be the last time I see you?'' Sayuri asked. ''Nope! I'll be seeing you next month as well,'' They both giggled.
~~~
This time, Yui and Sayuri met up at a beach. Yui hadn't done a beach theme surprisingly and also thought it would be fun.
The weather wasn't sunny but it wasn't rainy either. They both felt as if this had been perfect weather to have today.
''Sayuri, can you stand in the water for me?'' Sayuri stood in the water and Yui took a few photos with different poses. ''I have an idea! I can sit in the water,'' ''What about your dress?'' Yui asked. Sayuri said nothing as she sat cross legged in the water. ''I can dry off later,'' She looked back at Yui and smiled.
Yui snapped a few photos before stepping into the water as well. ''You should sit down too!'' Sayuri said. ''I don't want to- Hey!'' Sayuri pulled Yui into the water. ''It's cold!'' Yui exclaimed as she sat up, her whole body was soaked. ''You'll get used to it,'' Sayuri said
''Take another photo!'' Yui snapped a photo of the two of them before they stared at the ocean.
''Will this be the last time I see you?'' Sayuri asked. Yui shook her head, ''Of course not.''
~~~
The next theme was clothes. Yui never had it on her list but she of course wanted Sayuri to model specially. She and Sayuri bought an outfit for each other beforehand so they could both model since Sayuri wanted to try and take a picture with Yui's camera. They were currently at Yui's apartment.
''Yui, you should model first!'' Sayuri said as she handed Yui a bag of clothes. ''Uh, sure?'' Yui got dressed in the first outfit which was a white sweater and denim jeans with boots. ''You look really good!'' Sayuri said as she took about three picture of Yui.
''Alright, your turn.'' Yui handed Sayuri a bag of clothes. Sayuri came out wearing a buttoned up shirt and long pants. She put her hands on her hips as she smiled at the camera. ''Looking good,'' Yui smiled when she stopped taking pictures.
''And, like always, let's take a photo together.'' Sayuri said. They both sat down on Yui's couch. Yui leaned on Sayuri while taking the photo. Yui giggled when she looked at the photo. ''What's wrong with the photo?'' ''Nothing. Your ears are just really red!'' Sayuri pouted, looking at the photo. ''Your ears are red too!'' She pointed out smugly.
Yui pouted too before they broke into a fit of giggles, falling on top of each other. They didn't say anything as they smiled at each other. Yui leaned in and kissed Sayuri's lips. Sayuri was surprised at first before she kissed back. ''Is this wrong?'' ''It feels so wrong but it feels so right too. I really don't know what to tell you.'' Yui got off of Sayuri.
Sayuri sat up and frowned at Yui's guilty face. ''Yui! I love you!'' She shouted, closing her eyes. Yui widened her eyes. ''Sayuri, I love you too!'' They both hugged each other, kneeling on the floor. ''This won't be the last time I see you, right?'' Sayuri asked. ''No.'' Yui hugged her tighter.
~~~
A day before Yui and Sayuri were supposed to meetup, Yui gotten a visit from her mother. She hadn't seen her in awhile and so she was very happy.
Yui placed a cup of coffee on the table before she sat opposite to her mother. ''Yui, I wanted to talk to you about something.'' ''What?'' Her mother sighed before saying, ''I'm moving to America and I think you should come with. There will great opportunities for you there and I'm sure you'll be able to learn English fast.''
Yui pursed her lips and said, ''No. I want to stay here.'' ''I thought you would say something like that but I bought two plane tickets already.'' She placed the plane tickets on the table. Yui knew her mother wouldn't find anyone else and the ticket would go to waste.
''Fine then. When are we going to go?'' Yui asked. ''Two days from now,'' She said.
Yui sighed when her mother had left and put her head on her table, crying into her arms for hours on end.
~~~
The next day, Yui had met up with Sayuri. Yui took her to a clothing shop.
''I thought we already did clothing?'' Sayuri said as they browsed the shop. ''We did, but, there's a certain aesthetic I want to do with you,'' She said as she picked out a few clothes. They paid for the clothes and went to Yui's apartment.
''Let's get dressed and then we'll go somewhere else,'' Yui said as they quickly got dressed. Yui wore a blue and purple striped shirt with black pants and Sayuri wore a bright yellow shirt with a red skirt.
Yui took the both of them to a park bench. ''We're going to take picture on the bench?'' Yui nodded. ''I'm going to let you take a picture again as well,'' She said as she took a picture of the empty bench. ''Sit on the right side,''
Sayuri sat down on the right side of the bench and Yui took a very quick picture. ''Alright, now you need to take a picture of me,'' Yui handed her camera to Sayuri before she sat down on the left side of the bench. ''Take one picture!'' Yui said.
Sayuri snapped a picture before smiling. ''Are we going to take a picture together now?'' Sayuri asked. Yui said nothing as she stood up. Sayuri handed her the camera back she asked someone to take a picture of them together. Sayuri raised an eyebrow but went to sit down on the right side of the bench again, Yui sitting next to her. The person took one picture before they both held hands.
They took another picture before Yui said that that was all. ''Thank you very much!'' She bowed. ''It's my pleasure.'' The person smiled before walking on.
''So, Yui, will this be the last time I see you?'' Sayuri asked. Yui frowned before saying, ''Actually, I have to move with my mother to America. I didn't want to go but I have to.'' Sayuri frowned, ''Can I see you tomorrow?'' ''We're leaving tomorrow at 6AM. I'm sorry.'' Yui engulfed Sayuri in a hug. They both cried into each others shoulders.
''P-Please, tell me that we'll see each other again. Please.'' Sayuri begged. ''I promise. I promise that we'll see each other again,'' Yui hugged Sayuri tighter, not wanting to let go.
~~~
It had been three years since Yui left and Sayuri was still sad about it. She couldn't bare to look at the photos they took together. She couldn't bare wearing the clothes Yui bought for her and she couldn't bare going back to the cafe they had both met.
She often dreamed of Yui coming out of nowhere. They had lost contact a long time ago as well. She cried into her pillow so much and always turned it around when she went to sleep. She couldn't bare not having Yui with her. She didn't leave her home much either. This felt like torture.
Today, she wanted to get over Yui. She desperately wanted to get over Yui. So, she got dressed in the same outfit that Yui had gotten her. The bright yellow shirt and red skirt. She looked at the photos that Yui had taken of her and the two of them. She felt the need to cry but shook her head, putting them down again.
And, for once, she left the house. Her first stop was the cafe they had met at.
She arrived at the cafe and ordered a cup of coffee as well as a latte. She then sat at the same table they sat at that day. She waited for her order. As soon as it had arrived, she moved the coffee to the opposite end of the table. She took out her phone and took a selfie of her drinking the latte. She didn't like coffee but drank the cup anyway.
As soon as she finished, she paid and left. Her next stop was the park. She needed to go to that same bench.
She quickly sat down on the right side of the bench and took out her phone, taking a selfie. She didn't notice that someone had sat down next to her.
''You're really good at taking photos,'' The person said. ''Thank-'' She looked over the person before widening her eyes. Immediately tears began to fall. ''Yui?!'' Yui gave her a smile as she hugged Sayuri. ''I'm back at last. I managed to convince my mother to let me move back here. This time, we'll stay together forever.'' Yui said.
''I know we will.'' Sayuri smiled, enjoying Yui's warmth. Yui pulled away from the hug and cupped Sayuri's cheek. ''We should move in together,'' She suggested. ''I think that's a good idea,'' Sayuri said before Yui kissed her.
Sayuri was happy to be with Yui once again.
