#waaaah I can’t believe it’s over already

[nostalgiabones]

In my Sunday night feels & reflecting on the past two weeks & thinking about how incredibly grateful I am to have experienced 4 5sos shows, to have travelled to two new countries & to have done all of this with some of my closest friends who I met on this website 🥲 this tour was beyond incredible & I genuinely had not felt happiness like I did at these shows in a very long time 🥲

It’s so beyond insane that even two weeks ago I hadn’t met @highscal in person, we’d been texting for like a year maybe? But our first in person experience together was the Manchester show which was very fitting & now we’ve been to Prague together and to think we only just met irl is so wild because it feels like we’ve known each other forever. Nat I’m so grateful for you & our friendship & I love you so much, so happy we got to do this tour together (and all the unhinged show moments 🤪👹)

I just feel so emotional about the whole thing as I would not be the person I am today without this band and these people, I literally owe so much of myself and my life to them & I know 13 year old me seeing 5sos for the first time supporting 1D would be so excited if she knew all of the adventures we’d be going on because of them, and all the friends we’d make along the way 🥹

(also can’t believe we got to hear English Love Affair live twice in 2023 & Out of My Limit in soundcheck, what is going on)

5SOS forever ❤️‍🔥

Hi hi!! I have a request if you’re up for it :]

Maybe hiyoko with a shy s/o? (Shy in the “quiet/listens rather than speaks” way, not in the “anxious mess (Mikan)” way, if that makes sense ^^)

Tysm if you do this!! Keep being wicked you fell demon <33

Apologies for the wait! I had been struck down with a curse of the fabled blue screen of death. The only remedy to such a curse was to empty the dark depths of my wallet. Fear not, as I have returned from the pits of hell to write once more!

Enjoy, my fallen angel!

-Overlord of Ice, Mod Gundham

Opposites are definitely attracting here. Hiyoko is loud, crude, and excitable. While most would say your calming personality could try and calm her down, it’s actually the opposite. When she’s with you, she gets energetic. She’ll tease you and prod at you to try and get a reaction.

If you’re not the affectionate type, that’s okay. Hiyoko’s clinginess is enough for the two of you. She’s a big fan of jumping on your back no matter what you’re doing. There are times where she’ll tell you to lean down for a kiss, just for her to bop you on the head instead.

In front of others, she’ll love to make fun of you as if you’re the one that hangs off of her. “They may be quiet but they’re actually a total pervert when we’re alone!” None of your classmates really believe her.

You love to listen and Hiyoko loves to talk. She’ll tell you about anything: her dance recitals, badmouthing your classmates, anything that comes to mind. Hiyoko loves to sit in your lap while she gossips. Her hand will be deep in a bag of gummies while she rests against your chest.

While she does tease you, and borderline humiliates you, she’ll put you on a pedestal above your other classmates. In her eyes, you could truly do no wrong. She’s a small yet fierce guard dog. She’ll make sure to uplift you while berating anyone else.

If you ever seem like you have something to say, but can’t speak up over someone else’s voice, she will make sure you’re heard personally. “Hey! Shut your waste of space mouth! Your breath is stinking up the air.” She would cling onto your arm with a big childish smile. “(Name), didn’t you have something to say?”

During the killing game, she’s glued to your hip. Even though she acts big and bad, Hiyoko is scared of both losing her life or yours. Hiyoko practically moves into your cottage. There is no more privacy, you can’t even shower by yourself. If you don’t already know how, you’ll have to learn how to tie her kimono for her.

Hiyoko will vouch for you during trials and investigations. With your keen listening skills, you’re bound to find something out but you might not have the courage to speak up. If you wanted, she’d relay the information to the others. Not for them, but for your skills to be recognized.

Due to your quiet nature, you’re often a main suspect in trials. If Hiyoko was busy on the day of a murder, you might be without an alibi. Worry not, as Hiyoko will be your biggest defender. Hajime is at his wits end as he’s called vulgar names one after another. No one gets a chance to speak as she wails about your innocence.

Even if you were to murder someone, she would always be by your side.

“(Name), you’re the only one that could’ve done it.” A spotlight shines down on you as Hajime speaks. All eyes were on you. Frankly, you didn’t know what to say. What were you supposed to say while backed into a corner?

Fuyuhiko kissed his teeth, rolling his eyes. “You’re being accused of murder, and you still can’t speak up? How stupid can you be?”

You open your mouth, trying to formulate anything coherent. Before you could say anything, a shrill cry echoed through the trial room.

“Waaaah! You stupid pigshits are picking on them! They would never commit murder!” Hiyoko slams her small fists against the podium. “Why couldn’t you be the victim, Hajime?” 

Ignoring the death threat, Hajime explains his reasoning. “It could only be them. They were the only one on the second island with no alibi.”

“Shut up!” Hiyoko was clenching the wood so tight her knuckles were turning white. “I was with them, dumbass! So how about you kneel down and apologize to them like a good mutt!”

With a point of his finger, Hajime shot down that lie. “No, that’s wrong! Nagito said he saw you at the beach right before the body discovery announcement. You wouldn’t have had time to meet up with them before the time of death.”

Hot tears pooled down her cheeks. Hiyoko knew the truth. She knew you were guilty. She didn’t want to face the truth. You weren’t supposed to leave her side. “You’ll trust that nasty perv to be honest? You’re a fucking idiot-!”

“Hiyoko.” Your quiet voice reached her ears. She looked at you like a deer in headlights, her body shaking. “That’s enough. It’s over.”

“O-over…” Her bottom lip quivers, snot threatening to pool from her nose. “Why are you giving up? Tell them you didn’t kill that stupid whore. Tell them you didn’t do anything wrong, you moron!” 

Walking over to her podium, you take her into your arms. She fights back for a moment, slamming her fists into your chest.

“I’m sorry, Hiyoko.”

“Shut up!” Hit! “Shut up!” Hit. “Shut uh-uuuuppp!” She slumps into you, sobbing her heart out.

Toi Shiramitsu Mayor Novel " The Day I Became an Angel" Chapter 2 | Big Brother

Part 1 | Part 2

*Before you choose to continue, please note that the novels contain major spoilers for the main story of the game, and it is recommended that you only read them once you have finished the main story!

“Toi, you’ve lost so much weight…!”

”i’m…fine…ani-sama…”

Once it became apparent that Oshisha-sama had entered my body, I was freed from my cell.

Ani-sama held me in a never-ending hug, tightly holding my starved, thin body while he wept.

At that point I had yet to realise it, but my hair had turned white in what seemed to be a mark of the possession’s success.

“Like hell you’re fine! And look at your hair! It’s supposed to be the same as mine!” 

“...”

“Now it…it’s the same as our stupid dad and that shitty old bastard’s…!”

My brother kept running his hands over my hair, stroking it as if he were mourning something precious that had been lost forever. 

I returned my brother’s embrace and wished I could ease his mind with promises of “I’m okay” and “Don’t worry”.

But—

“Ah…hic…w…waaaah!” 

“Toi, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…! This is all my fault. This never would’ve happened if I hadn’t messed around…!”

“Waaaah…aaah…”

The pain of seeing him upset brought about another wave of tears. With the way my sobbing never seemed to stop, I might’ve believed that my eyes had already ceased functioning properly.

For a while I remained like that, clinging onto the warmth of Ani-sama’s body. I had thought for sure that there couldn't have been a drop of water left in me and yet the flood of tears continued to spill down my cheeks.

Again and again, my brother spurted out apologies to me.

“There’s nothing to apologise for, I survived the ritual because of you…” I told him.

Just as it seemed like he couldn't forgive himself, he also felt a deep fiery rage towards Grandfather for choosing to hold the ritual at such an unfortunate time.

“You had to go through such a screwed up thing instead of me…shit!”

“...”

“They snatched you away so suddenly…I kept trying to tell them that they took the wrong twin but it was too late! They wouldn’t even listen to me!”

“Ani-sama…”

“I kept telling them that I’m the one meant to do all that ritual stuff!”

My brother and I look identical. Our personalities may have been wildly different but physically, we were a perfect copy of one another.

Sometimes we’d take advantage of this and play a game where we swapped around who was “Ryui” and who was “Toi”. We thought it was such a fun and amusing thing to do. When we switched places, neither Mother, Father while he was still alive, nor the maids would ever catch onto the change. 

And yet, who could have guessed what that very game would lead to–

“Ani-sama, can we play that game again?”

My brother and I had switched places.

Grandfather never once realised when he decided it was time to begin the ritual. 

Ani-sama was wrecked with guilt over the mistake. I could tell how sorry he felt for me. He seemed to feel responsible for what unfolded, despite the fact that I had been the one to ask to play the game. 

But…because of something Grandfather told me just before commencing the ritual, I felt a little relieved.

“The ritual may last for up to 9 days. During that period, all forms of drinking, eating and sleeping are forbidden…it’s going to be hard, Ryui. Brace yourself.”

I Intentionally chose not to reveal the truth, sickened by the idea of making my brother go through such a horrific thing. As far as anyone was concerned, I was Ryui.

Not to mention, Oshisha-sama is an angel that helps people. To be able to have the power to help my brother, my family—everyone…I wanted it.

“I can’t take this anymore! That fucker in charge can go to hell! I’m gonna knock that old bastard to the ground!”

“Sniff…hic…”

My brother gently caressed my head before rushing out of the room.

I waited for him to come back but my body, worn out from all my crying, fell asleep before I could see his return.

During my slumber, I had a dream.

An angel’s wings.

A demon’s smile.

My brother, missing an eye.

A small window.

Darkness filling the four corners of a cell.

A full moon.

And then—

Me, smiling like a devil.

“Ah…!”

When I awoke, I was laying in my own bed.  The lights in the room had been shut off and I was tightly tucked underneath the covers to make sure I wouldn’t get cold.

A wave of dizziness rushed to my head as I stood but I was steady enough to manage to move around.

What was with that dream I had? What did it mean? As those questions floated through my head, I stumbled over to my desk.

“Raisin butter cookie sandwiches!”

Left waiting for me was a serving of my favourite food prepared in an adorable paper wrapping.

It was immediately obvious to me that Ani-sama had been the one who carried me to bed and brought me treats. As always, Ani-sama is incredibly kind.

I munched on the delectably sweet sandwich cookies while I tried to fight back the tears that began to prickle at my eyes. The thought occurred to me that I should write something about the ritual so I opened my diary and—

“Sobbing naive worm.“

A shock ran through me as I registered the words written on the page.

I’d never seen that text before…the handwriting certainly wasn’t mine.

Ani-sama says it’s important to have privacy so he never tampers with my diary…then who could have done this?

Right beside the text, I asked exactly that.

“Who are you?”

omg clari tokyo revengers?! what are your honest thoughts? I really like it, I also enjoy the manga. mitsuya is soooo cute, I love him and the fact he takes care of his little sisters!! his personality is perfect, like hes so head strong on what he believes is right and hes so loyal ahhhh

yEAH HAHA i finally gave in and let go of my stubbornness because teddy (@duckiez) convinced me to give it a try!!! i am absolutely, entirely, obsessively head over heels in love with the haitani brothers oH MY GOD anon i can’t even express how giddy n wild they make me i !!!!!!!!!! love them so much!!! my other faves are: mitsuya, kazutora, shinichiro, waka, and shion purely because he’s downright pathetic <3

tokyo revengers spoilers below!

AH okay so i have a few episodes left in the anime until i’m totally caught up bUT i finished the manga last night (i cheated tho n started at like chapter 120 because i was too ravenous for more haitani bros waaaah) and that ending was just........The Worst in my opinion tbh!!! i was really, really disappointed with the way it ended and in my heart and my personal canon it ended with the bonten arc thank u and goodnight c: like so many others, i feel like this ending was rushed, unearned, but the thing i am most upset about is how it erases everyones traumas, tragedies, and hardships, because it makes the entire thing feel so soulless and meaningless. i would’ve preferred the message to have been ‘you can’t save everyone’ with mikey representing that.

but again, these are just my personal thoughts n opinions! it’s completely and totally 100% okay if you liked the ending; there’s no right or wrong answer here, just our personal thoughts! <33 other than the ending, though, i enjoyed it!

i’m going to reread the manga from the very start of course but i just couldn’t fucking wait LMAO i was so starved for more haitanis and i have soooo many things i wanna write with them already and i just needed to consume all of the official material before i could continue writing so!!!!

mITSUYA IS LIKE ?????? REALLY DADDY TO ME HAHAHAHA eee (*/ω＼*) he also looks good in literally every timeline i can’t get over it he is soooo pretty <333

[naruto-ichigo-soul-kyobabe]

Ateez’s reaction to you fangirling over an idol that’s not them

Hongjoong: 

He arrived to your shared apartment after a long day of work and wanted nothing more than to cuddle with you and relax. But when he entered the apartment he found you dancing around the living room while watching Wonho’s new song “Open Mind” on the TV. You finally noticed him as the song was ending and paused the video. 

“Hi baby! How was your day?” You asked excitedly. 

“Tiring. How about yours?” He asked while embracing you. 

“It was so good! I have been streaming Wonho’s song all day! He’s so talented and handsome! Don’t you think?” You asked happily. “I love how sensual he can when performing but then he’s just a big baby in real life!” 

He knew you loved him, but he was very jealous hearing you fan girl over an idol that wasn’t him. 

“Ahhh, I wish I could marry him!” You said sighing sweetly. 

“What about me?” Hongjoong pouted. “You don’t want to marry me?” 

You looked at him shocked. “What? Who said I don’t wanna marry you? You’re my loving boyfriend. I would be blessed if I married you.” 

“Well, you sure aren’t acting that way.” He said crossing his arms over his chest. 

You giggled and rolled yours eyes. “Baby, I love you. You’re my boyfriend. Wonho is an idol, yes I love him, but not like I love you.” You kissed his cheek. 

“You better love me more than him.” 

You laughed. “Of course I love my jealous boyfriend more than.” 

“Good.” He said laughing before kissing you tenderly. “You ever try and leave me for Wonho and I’ll quit being an idol and go live under a bridge.” 

“Okay Mr. dramatic, I would never leave you for anyone else. I love you too much.” 

He was satisfied, but he still felt jealous anytime you talked about Wonho after. 

Seonghwa: 

You were watching Taemin’s stage performance for Criminal and didn’t realize Seonghwa had entered your bedroom. You were watching the video intently and you started squealing when Taemin was dancing while his hands were tied. 

“Waaaah~ Taemin you’re so cool!!” You squealed. “Ahh the only man for me!” 

“Then what am I?” Seonghwa said while giving you a disgusted face. 

“My boyfriend of course.” You said without looking at him. “Come watch Taemin with me. Gosh, this man is so talented isn’t he? His concepts are so good! And he’s so handsome and his voice is just... ahhh!” 

Seonghwa sat next to you and watched Taemin. He did like him, but he glared at the video the entire time, not liking that you were acting like this towards Taemin and not him; your boyfriend. 

“Uuuuu Taemin-ah, I love you!” You said closing your eyes while resting your hand on your heart. “I could die happily if I met you.” 

“Do you love me or Taemin more?” Seonghwa asked pouting. 

You looked at him confused. “What? Of course you.” 

“You’re paying more attention to Taemin.. so I don’t know about that.” 

“Haha, babe, I love Taemin, but he’s just one of my idols. You’re my boyfriend, so no one could ever come before you.” You said caressing his cheek. “You’re my one and only.” 

He smiled and put his hand over yours. “Sorry, I was just feeling jealous. But I’m happy to hear that.” 

“I love you, Seonghwa and I always will.” 

“Me too. I love you, y/n.” He leaned towards you and gave you a sweet kiss. 

Yunho: 

You had been ignoring Yunho all day, you didn’t do it intentionally, but you were busy streaming Stray Kids new single, Back Door. You were either internally watching it and fangirling over everyone or you were dancing and trying to learn the choreography. 

“Oh my God! Yunho, look, isn’t Seungmin just the cutest thing ever?” You cried. “He looks so good here!! And his vocals!  Yes king, get it!” 

You even got your light stick out and started waving it around while praising the members. 

Yunho was happy to see you having fun, but he was low key jealous. Since he knew the members of stray kids, he was worried you might meet them and actually leave him for Seungmin, if you had the chance. 

“Y/n, would you rather date me or Seungmin?” Yunho asked letting these thoughts get to him. 

You stopped dancing and turned around to face him slowly. “Aha, what?” 

“Me or Seungmin.. who would you rather date?” He asked quietly. 

“I’m already dating you.. and I don’t want to date any who isn’t you.” You said going over to sit next to him on the couch. “Why would you ask me that?” 

“You seemed like you like Seungmin more..” 

You laughed and squished his cheeks. “Silly, I like you the most. I do have a soft spot for Seungmin, but that’s because he’s like a puppy and it melts me heart.” You smiled at him. “But you’re my favourite puppy.” 

You smiled warmly at you and looked away shyly. “Aha, really? That makes me happy,” 

You kissed him lovingly. “I will always choose you, so don’t feel jealous, okay?”

He nodded and then the two of you enjoyed jamming out to Back Door together. 

Yeosang: 

You were watching Yuta’s Kick It fancams in the living room. You were admiring his dance moves as well as his facial expressions. 

“My God, he could kick me any day,” you said quietly to yourself. 

“What?” Yeosang said looking at you with such a judgmental face. 

“Oh. You heard that?” You asked laughing. 

“Why does my girlfriend wish to be kicked by another man?” 

“Because he so hot.” You said shrugging and going back to the video. 

“Should I kick you then?” Yeosang said nudging your side with his foot. 

“Yah, stop that.” You said pushing his leg away. 

“Why? I thought you wanted hot guys to kick you.” He said doing it again. 

“Baaaabe, stop it.” You whined. “You are hot, but I don’t actually wanna be kicked. It’s just something us fans say.” 

“Oh, but you think I’m hotter? Or Yuta?” 

“You of course.” You said turning off the video and smiling at him. “You’re my super hot boyfriend that I am so lucky to have.” 

“Oho, you deserve a reward for picking the right answer.” He said crawling over to you. He hovered over you and started to kiss you slowly and sweetly. But it soon turned steamy with the kisses making you forget all about Yuta, just like Yeosang planned. 

San: 

San walked into the living room and saw you staring at your phone, you smile getting bigger as you stared at whatever you were. He was curious what could make you smile like that and it had better be him. He walked behind you and saw you watching a Yeonjun cute moments compilation on YouTube. He frowned when he saw that you were giving your attention to another boy; was he not good enough. 

He wrapped his arms around your shoulders, which startled you, causing you to drop your phone. 

“Ah! Oh, San it’s you.” You said clutching your chest. “Almost gave me heart attack there.” 

“Y/n, do you not love me anymore?” 

“What are you talking about?” You said looking at him confused. 

“First you’re watching videos of Yeonjun and not me. Then you go and call me by my name and not baby.” He pouted. 

“Wha-? Of course I love you, baby. I was watching Yeonjun videos because their comeback is coming soon. Just getting hyped for it.” You said caressing his cheek. “I watch your videos all the time. Especially when you’re busy and can’t be with me as often.” 

“So you love me the most, right?” He said hugging you tighter. 

“Of course! You’re number one in my heart. Honestly, no one even comes close.” You boasted. 

“I thought so. I mean look at me; I’m the complete package.” He said as he crawled over the back of the couch to sit next to you. He placed an arm around you and pulled you close. “I’ll have to tell Yeonjun next time I see him to back off.” 

“Yeonjun doesn’t even know me!” You said laughing. 

“I’m not taking any chances.” He said making a mental note to never ever let you meet Yeonjun. “You’re going to have the last name Choi some day and it will be because of me and not him.” 

You were lost for words after hearing him say that but then you started laughing. “You’re the only Choi for me.” 

Mingi: 

You had been having a bad week and whenever you were feeling low like that, you would listen to music to ignore the world, more specifically you would listen to Agust D. You just liked how raw Yoongi’s emotions were on his mixtape and the lyrics always resonated with you. 

“Ugh, I can’t believe a man like Min Yoongi exists.” You said to yourself not realizing Mingi had walked into the bedroom. “No one does it like him.” 

“No one..?” Mingi asked. You opened your eyes to see him giving you the “🥺” eyes. You nearly started sobbing because he was so cute when he did that and it also hurt your heart when he did that; you never meant to hurt his feelings. 

“You like Yoongi’s raps more than mine?” Mingi asked pouting. “You think he’s more talented than me?” 

“Whaaaa! No, baby! That’s not what I meant!” You said rushing over to him and hugging him. “Yes I like Yoongi’s rapping and I think he’s talented, but so are you!! Like you’re crazy talented! Extremely talented! The first time I heard you rap I was instantly in love with you; no lie.” 

“Really? I had that power over you?” He asked smiling as he embraced. “So you would choose me over Yoongi if you have the choice between the two of us?” 

“Of course, baby. I would choose you in a heartbeat. No thinking necessary. You have my heart.” You said looking up at him. “I am extremely proud of you. You are so so talented and I wake up every day wondering how I managed to get a boyfriend like you.” 

He blushed at your words. “No, I’m the one who should be wondering how I got so lucky to have someone like you.” He bent down to kiss you. “I’m glad to know I’m your favourite rapper.. I better be your favourite rapper after what you said.” 

You started laughing. “Of course you are! Yoongi used to be my favourite rapper but then you came into my life and took over that spot.” 

“Good.” He said smiling happily before spinning you around. “I’m y/n’s favourite, you got that Min Yoongi!” 

Wooyoung: 

You and Wooyoung were relaxing in bed together, both of you preoccupied on your phones, but enjoying each other’s presence. 

“Oh my god,” You whispered. “You are the most adorable and precious angel on this earth.” 

“Thanks I know I am.” Wooyoung said. 

“Not you,” you said rolling your eyes and showing him what you were looking at. “I’m talking about the precious angel, Liu YangYang! Look at him! So cute! So adorable! I think I am in love.” 

“Ya! How could you say that right in front of me? Your boyfriend!” Wooyoung pouted as he grabbed your phone from you. He looked at YangYang for a moment before placing your phone down. 

“Okay I will admit he’s cute.” 

“The cutest.” You said teasing him. 

“Yeah, sure whatever. He may be cute, but you know who else is cute? Me.” He said. “And not only am I cute, but I am extremely sexy. No one can do cute and sexy like I can.” 

He wrapped his arms around you pulling you closer. He smirked at you before he started to kiss your neck. 

You blushed at his sudden actions. “I-I was just saying how cute YangYang was.. didn’t mean to make you jealous.” 

“Well too late, babe. I’m about to show you how lucky you are to have me, Jung Wooyoung, as your boyfriend.” He said before he started to kiss you passionately. 

You made a mental note to never fangirl about other idols in front of him. 

Jongho: 

“Oh. My. God.” You said suddenly while you and Jongho were eating dinner. 

“Babe, it’s not polite to look at your phone when we’re having dinner together.” 

“But, baby, I got a Twitter notification from Monsta X!” You said excitedly. “They’re gonna have a comeback soon!” 

“What!? Seriously? When?” Jongho asked getting up to look at the tweet with you. 

“I don’t know yet.. people are saying in a month or so though!” You said putting your phone down. “I cannot wait to see what they’ll release.. I can’t wait to hear Kiki’s vocals.. he’s so talented and so handsome!” 

Jongho sat back down. “I couldn’t agree with you more! His vocals aren’t talked about enough.” 

“Oh my god, I know right? He’s such an underrated member for some reason!” 

“I need to tell Atiny to support Monsta X’s comeback with me.” Jongho mumbled to himself. 

“You totally should babe. You’re the 4th gen’s best vocalist.. whoever you say is talented and worth a listen is definitely worth a listen.” You stated. 

He smiled at you shyly. “Thank you.” 

The rest of the night you and Jongho fangirled over Monsta X together.

She wakes up on a familiar ship. But despite her relief, there is also a small sense of anxiety…

Teo: So are you really just going to take me to Regalo?

Ash: …I promised. So I won’t go back on it

Teo: Oh, so you weren’t trying to trick me. That’s great. Vir does it a lot though!

Ash: I’ll bet. We’ve got a twisted guy in sunglasses back in Regalo who does the same

Teo: There’s someone else like Vir! I’d like to meet him

Ash: ……

Teo: What? Did you want to say something, Ash?

Ash: Nope. I was just conflicted between being curious about what would happen if you two did meet, and my conscious saying I should never let it happen

Teo: Haha! Vir says confusing stuff like that too

Ash: You really are an idiot. And don’t compare me with him

Felicita: …

Teo: Oh whatever. If you’ll get me there safely, I have no complaints

Felicita: Where are you going?

Teo: Just gonna explore over there

Ash: Hey, watch your step! You’ll fall through the floor if you’re not careful

Felicita: *laugh*

Ash: What? I can be nice sometimes

Felicita: Yeah

Ash: Huh? Then why are you laughing?

Felicita: Well, you were kind of acting like a big brother to him

Ash: Idiot. I wouldn’t want a little brother like him

Teo: WAAAAH!!?

Felicita: Was that…Teo!?

Ash: Tch! See, Strawberry Head? I even warned him and look what happened…!

~*Scene: VF Stairway*~

Ash: Teo! Are you down here?

Teo: Why are you here? I’m totally fine!!

Ash: Hey, didn’t you ever learn to be happy when people are worried about you?

Teo: Vir told me I should never trust anyone who approached me looking that happy!

Felicita: …

Ash: That does sound like something Snake Glasses would say… Seriously though, what has he been teaching you?

Ash: Anyway, I’m coming to help you so don’t move. Got it?

Teo: I said you don’t need to! I was just going too fast and ran into a wall!!

Felicita: (Why is he so insistent…?)

Ash: …*sigh*

Ash: Alright fine, I won’t come down. Just fix whatever you knocked over yourself. Okay?

Teo: How did you know I knocked something over!? Wait, are you actually still coming down!?

Ash: There’s no way I wouldn’t be able to tell with how loud that was. It’s fine, just fix it

Ash: Let’s go, Strawberry Head

Felicita: But…

Ash: Yeah, he’s probably hiding something. But he’ll just be more stubborn if I push it. So I’ll let him be until I get proof

Felicita: Okay

—And then—

~*Scene: VF Deck*~

Felicita: Ah…I didn’t think I’d manage to sleep all the way to morning

Ash: Apples for breakfast okay with you?

(*toss)

Felicita: Thanks

Ash: Looks like Teo was messing around all night. He just went to sleep

Felicita: I wonder what he’s looking for…

Ash: I have no clue

Ash: Anyway, are you still feeling alright?

Felicita: ?

Felicita: Yeah, I’m fine…why? You asked when I woke up yesterday already

Ash: Uh…

Ash: Vir just said something that worried me

Felicita: What?

Ash: He said using Arcana powers on him would result in punishment

Felicita: “Punishment”…

Ash: I couldn’t get him to tell me the details, but…

Ash: I don’t think he was lying

Ash: But whether it’s something you can deal with yourself or not…

Ash: I want you to tell me

Felicita: Okay

Halloween Event Story

~Fluffy Blast Racing~ Chapter 4: A Transformation

Chapter Index

Minami: ...I see. So they followed you here without your knowledge.

Haruka: Aren't these the things you were just talking about, Minami..!?

Torao: What do you mean?

Haruka: Minami said you and Toma would find something today.

Toma: Seriously..? I didn't know his fortunes had gotten that accurate...

Minami: Hee hee, though there was no way I could've predicted how cute they'd be.

Haruka: I've never seen these things before. What are they?

Minami: ...They may well be the extraterrestrial lifeforms Nagi told me about...

Toma: Extraterrestrial...? So, aliens?

Minami: I don't know for certain, but my heat sensor reacts to them, meaning they should be similar to certain types of animals...

Torao: Hey. Where did you guys come from?

???: Tora... torara...

Torao: Ah, I forgot you can't speak our language.

Toma: ...Hey, Minami! Can't you make some kinda translator thingy for us?

Toma: It feels like these furballs could really use our help with something.

Haruka: ...Ah..! Minami, the mat..!

Minami: Right. We should give that a try.

Toma: You already have something!?

Minami: Just a prototype I based on a translator Momo made, but it might do the trick...

Haruka: It's called Peep Mat, and it's supposed to tell you how inanimate objects feel...

Torao: Hmm... so it's for peeping into their thoughts.

Toma: P-peeping..? That sounds kinda weird, what were you planning to use it for..?

Haruka: Oh yeah, it was super weird.

Minami: Was it, now? Thanks to the mat, you got to know how much Spanny...

Haruka: Aaaaah!

Toma: "Spanny"..?

Haruka: S-Spanny's just the name of a dog that lives in my neighborhood. Don't worry about it.

Torao: ...In any case, let's test out that mat.

Toma: Do we just put these guys on the mat..?

Minami: Yes. Then, you push this switch...

Torao: Alright, get over here.

???: Tora... torara...

Haruka: ...Doesn't that one kinda look like you, Torao?

Torao: Press the switch, Minami.

Minami: Haha, how exciting. 

Click

???: .........

???: Toma... ma...

???: Haa... ha... ple...

???: Mi... lp.. us...

???: Please help us!

All: ........!?

All: Help you..?

- - - -

Minami: I see... So you did come from another planet, like I thought.

Haruka: They're space aliens...

Beige Cotton: Yes, we cottons come from another planet.

Beige Cotton: Do you work for i7 Corporation?

Toma: Nope... We know people from there, but we're only working for the P.G. Garage, racing and fixing up cars...

Green Cotton: Fixing cars?

Brown Cotton: Racing..!?

Toma: Y-yeah. But if you've got business with the Corp, them we can call 'em...

Cottons: .........

Cottons: We have a request for you!

Toma: No need to get all shouty on us... What's up?

Red Cotton: P-pardon us! We come from a planet called Desert Colony.

Red Cotton: It was once the Mecca of car racing, where people from all over would test their skills.

Red Cotton: But then the dusts appeared, taking over our races and making a mess of our circuits...

Beige Cotton: We asked our fellow cottons on another planet for help, and they told us of Earthlings who had helped them...

Torao: And that's how you ended up here.

Cottons: Yes..!

Toma: How did they just take over like that?

Green Cotton: The dusts are violent in nature, and only seek to do bad things.

Brown Cotton: They reproduce quickly, turning streets uninhabitable for anyone but themselves...

Brown Cotton: There was nothing we could do to stop them...

Cottons: Earthlings..! Won't you please help us!?

Minami: The ones who helped your fellow cottons were the people of i7 Corporation, not us.

Beige Cotton: Perhaps so... But you race and repair vehicles for a living, do you not?

Torao: Yeah. We operate a car workshop to fund our racing.

Torao: That way, we get to make our own rides!

Brown Cotton: ...Then you are exactly who we need!

Brown Cotton: We and the dusts are also racers, but we cannot match their skill as we are now...

Brown Cotton: Won't you give us a hand?

Torao: I don't know... How are we supposed to beat those dusts, exactly?

Red Cotton: The dusts have decreed that everyone must obey the winners of the race, so that is all you would need to do.

Minami: But if you're also racers, couldn't you try beating them yourselves?

Brown Cotton: ...To tell you the truth, we do not even have a proper car to race in.

Beige Cotton: The dusts have a monopoly on everything from engines to tires, leaving us unable to build a vehicle that could race...

Minami: ...I see.

Haruka: Then what difference does it make if we go to your planet and try to race there?

Green Cotton: Though the dusts have all the good parts to themselves, there are still less than optimal parts available.

Beige Cotton: We lack the skill to build a suitable vehicle from such parts...

Haruka: ...So you want us to help?

Cottons: Yes..!

Beige Cotton: You have that Earthling's driving techniques, as well as the technical prowess to support his skill.

Beige Cotton: Both are simply incredible, I might add! I believe that you will defeat the dusts!

Minami: Oh my, I do enjoy a good compliment.

Haruka: Hehe, of course our tech's incredible! Minami planned it, and I built it.

Torao: You guys certainly have an eye for races.

Toma: ........

Minami: What's the matter, Toma?

Toma: ...Nothing.

Red Cotton: And we mustn't forget the designs! They are so very cool! Especially these lightning bolts...

Toma: I KNOW, right!?

Haruka: Whoa! Stop yelling!

Minami: Good for you, Toma.

Brown Cotton: I believe you may be even more qualified than the Earthlings we originally came here for..!

Cottons: Please, help save our home!

All: .......!

Toma: Guys, let's help 'em.

Minami: At the risk of sounding callous... We don't even have enough money for our own race, and we can't just leave our work undone...

Haruka: ...He's got a point...

Torao: As much as I'd like to help, we've got our own share of trouble to deal with...

Toma: But guys...

Red Cotton: Worry not! If you win our race, you will receive the prize money!

Red Cotton: And it's quite a sum, since the race will be held between the greatest racers from all over the galaxy!

All: .......!

Toma: In other words, if we win that race for you...

Haruka: We'll get...

Green Cotton: Yes..! And you won't need to share the prize with us, of course.

Toma: N-not even a little?

Minami: We're grateful for the offer, but are you sure?

Brown Cotton: Yes! All we want is to stop the dusts, which we'll be able to do as long as you win!

Torao: I guess that'll solve everything for the both of us, then.

Toma: Awesome! Let's do it!

Toma: Ain't this what you'd call a prize-prize situation!?

Haruka: I think you mean "win-win situation".

Toma: Haha, whatever!

Minami: Now, how do we get on your planet?

Beige Cotton: First, you'll fuse with us, forming a fluff.

All: A fluff..?

Beige Cotton: Yes. Through fusion, we should be able to transport you to our planet.

Haruka: What do you mean by fusion?

Beige Cotton: It'll be faster if we show you! Let us begin.

Torao: Sounds fun. Let's do it.

Toma: Go ahead!

Beige Cotton: Here we go!

Cottons: Fusion!

Haruka: Whoa... What!? T-they got sucked in..!

Minami: They're going inside our bodies...

Toma: ...Is it just me, or do you guys feel warm..?

Torao: Yeah, and now we're glowing, too...

Haruka: Are you sure this is safe!?

All: .......! 

- - - -

All: ........

Toma: H-hey, Haruka... You need to look in a mirror, quick!

Haruka: Huh!? I could say the same to you! You're all fluffy now..!

Torao: H-hey! Don't tell me, we...

Toma: W-we...

Haruka, Toma, & Torao: We turned into fluffs!?

Minami: Hee hee. You all look adorable.

Toma: How are you so calm, Minami!?

Minami: Oh, are you not excited by our mystical transformation?

Toma: I'd rather not find excitement by leaving my body...

Haruka: Was that the fusion..? We're fluffs... Fluffs...

Torao: My body's so round now... And I've got short little arms and legs...

Toma: H-hey! Get a grip, Haruka and Torao!

Minami: What is the science behind a transformation like this, I wonder?

Beige Cotton: <We don't have the time for a detailed explanation now, but this is what you'll look like when fused with us.>

Beige Cotton: <As long as you're fluffs, you should be able to use the warp zone to get to our planet.>

Toma: W-what..!? I can hear a voice talking in my head!

Torao: Hey! Tell me we can still go back to normal! I can't take girls out for dinner looking like this!

Haruka: Are you sure girls are your biggest worry right now?

Torao: Of course, there's so many of them waiting for me.

Toma: At least worry about our race or something, man.

Torao: Just turn me back to normal, now!

Brown Cotton: <Our apologies, but the only way we can dissolve the fusion is with elements from our planet's atmosphere...>

Minami: ...In other words, we'll get back into our human forms if we go to your planet and help solve your problem.

Torao: Should've told us up front.

Brown Cotton: <Apologies, but you did not ask...>

Torao: ........

Red Cotton: <In any case, you are the only ones who can help us!>

Minami: ...I suppose all we need to do is get to their home planet.

Minami: I'm sure space travel will be fun.

Haruka: You just wanna see what it's like...

Minami: What was that, Haruka?

Haruka: Nah, forget it...

Torao: I'll just prepare for the worst...

Minami: So, how do we warp to your planet?

Green Cotton: <From the manhole behind this building!>

Haruka: A manhole? That sounds way simpler than I thought.

Torao: And now we're diving into a manhole... At least it probably won't stink...

Toma: You don't know that!

Minami: This is all so exciting. 

- - - -

Red Cotton: <Over here, Earthlings!>

Toma: Alright, here goes nothing! Let's jump..!

Toma: Waaaah!

Minami: I'm right behind you...

Haruka: Yep..!

Torao: Aah, I'm falling..! 

- - - -

Haruka: ...D-do you guys feel something soft in here..?

Minami: Where are we..?

Toma: Why am I upside down!?

Torao: .......! Hey, I see something!

All: Waaaaah! 

To be continued...

Translator’s notes..? 

all of the cottons are technically only referred to as “cotton”, but I added their corresponding colors to their names to make it easier to know who’s talking

[in-silks-and-flesh-and-leather]

Hi! I’m probably awfully late to this bc I just started following you recently and just read your “interrupting wedding” series and I want to tell you how much I love it!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! They are so so so good. I started with Flip. The part about how dating him was like dating “the idea of a man” in the beginning was so poignant. I’m a sucker for this wedding crashing trope and you captured it so well! I also ooo’ed and aaah’ed when I got to the part where he still had a case to finish before interrupting the wedding—Flip dammit!!—and I really was not expecting him to haul reader off like that!!! I also liked reader’s reactions a lot, very realistic, not cloying, not whiny, not bitchy, just overall, real and sympathetic.

(Now this is getting long—I hope you don’t mind!)

Then I read the two part Clyde series. Now mind you, I read a lot of fics (not necessarily in ADCU) and I’m one of those people where I don’t mind reading the same trope, the same play by play over and over and over, so naively here I was totally ready for Flip but Clyde 2.0 and would have been very easily satisfied with such. Though a part of was thinking hmm how does sweet soft Clyde end up breaking reader’s heart and they break up to begin with?? But, you sneaky and brilliant queen you, you surprised me!! It was ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING!!! Waaaah!! I was not ready for it! It was delightfully in character for Clyde and so fresh! Also, I laughed out loud for reals at the part where Jimmy goes “he works with kids?” And Clyde goes “no foot doctor”. So much so that my husband who was sitting next to me on the couch looked at me quizzically and I had to squeal and flail my arms about explaining your little gem I just read to him, “well you’ve seen Logan Lucky-can’t you just imagine Jimmy the idiot (lovable of course) saying that?” Now I have also read a lot of smut. Filthy, downright illegally dirty smut. That is usually my cup of tea. And I usually avoid angst bc it can often be not done right, and especially I tend to be wary of the Grand-Misunderstanding-If-Only-They-Had-Talked Trope but you wrote it so well, it was so believable and neither character was annoying. And it has been a long while since I read something so sweet and angsty without primary smut and loved it so much, that I again, exclaimed to dear husband, “It isn’t even smutty (yet) and I love it!!” Anyway I just adored this fic!

And now I shall proceed to read the one of Sevier!! I have never read a single fic of him before bc I was never interested, but what the hell I will now bc I’m sure yours is amazing and delicious!

Thank you for writing and sharing these stories! I shall be diving in to the rest of your fics. I’m so glad I followed you. I’m sure everyone told you already how great your writings are but apparently I have been living under a dumb rock.

One question: whatever happened to the little horseshoe necklace that Clyde originally got for reader?

Oh, wow, thank you so much!

That series came out of nowhere one day and now it’s one of my absolute favorites <3

Thank you so much for noticing and pointing out the details; I always try to think of how each specific guy, and the people around them, would act and what kind of RC would suit him, and how situations might realistically play out even if the setting is unusual.

And these ruined wedding stories are perfect for that <3

I also try not to repeat myself - when I talk to people about my dislike of fluff/smut, my main turn off is that they’re all basically the same, unspecific to the character, repetitive and, as a result, boring (to me) - so I never want to do that in my writing.

And another huge thank you for taking the time to write such beautiful things - people mainly get excited about smut and that gets shared and talked about, so most of the time I have a feeling that nobody is reading my stories (apart from the few absolutely wonderful people who give me feedback about the actual writing).

I try to create stories and plots and dimension for all characters, so when people don’t have anything to say, it really is discouraging. That’s why your comment really made an impact on me <3

I’m so happy and flattered you want to keep reading my stuff, I do hope you enjoy it <3

And I have an epilogue for the Clyde story - I almost always have so many more ideas than I can fit into a story - and it touches on the necklace, so now I think I’ll have to finish it and post it, I feel really inspired to do so <3

Ending the Wizard...

(Looks like the environment in this place is constantly changing...and...)

*Sora channels energy into her arm and is able to summon a small fire.

(Great...Now we’re cooking with gas...Well, I guess it’s an actual fire, not gas...)

I’m warning you now Mikado...I don’t plan on losing this fight...So if you surrender now, maybe I’ll let you out of this place without any fighting.

This is MY world Sora...I’M the one who makes the rules!

And I’M the one with the power!

*As a demonstration of his words, Mikado channels magic in his arms and slams them on the ground, creating a shockwave of energy. It hurtles towards Sora, who jumps up high in the air to avoid it.

NRGH!

*In response, Sora tries a gambit of her own. She channels the energy, and launches a large disc shaped blast towards Mikado. The wizard merely flies out the way.

HAAAH

HAAAAH!

*Mikado soars towards Sora, and launches a large beam of energy at her. Sora launches a beam of her own, and the two blasts clash.

Ugh...Sheesh...

WRAH!

*Mikado summons a spiral of fire and tries to slam it on top of Sora, but she blocks it and fires another blast. Mikado dodges that blast and gains the high ground by standing on pillar of code.

BUUUURN!

HHEGH!

*He tries to launch a large blast of fire at Sora, but she channels her energy into the environment around her, and creates a large wall to block it.

Yah!

*She then kicks the wall and sends it falling on Mikado. However, the wizard uses a blast to propel himself out of the way.

Ragh! Hugh, nrgh, yah, rgh, RAGH!

*Wasting almost no time in continuing his pursuit, Mikado chases Sora around the coded, constantly changing realm. 

AH! (The one advantage he’s got over me is that he can fly, but I can’t...! I can use the energy to propel myself though...!)

YAAAH!

NRGGGH!

*Mikado fires a large fireball at Sora. Sora spins around quickly and dissipates it. She then takes cover behind another large pillar as Mikado fires an even bigger one.

...! Hup!

Hm?

HIIYAAAAAH!

WAAAAH!

*While taking coverage behind the pillar, Sora leaps off it, bounds off another, and delivers a hefty stomp to the one she was just on, sending the entire stack at Mikado.

Aaaai! Ah! Phew...

HAHAHA! RAAAAGGGH

UH! AAAH! UGH!

*Mikado once again uses a blast to propel himself out of the way, and he flies around the pillar and launches a large fireball directly at Sora. It hits her dead on, and she goes crashing into another pillar...

Hurgh...Huh?

...

YAAH!

AAAH!

*Mikado is relentless. As soon as Sora collides with the pillar, he flies down and reaches ground level with her. At point blank range, he launches even more fire at her, but she deflects it using her own digital magic.

*SHING!*

YEA!

HAH!

*Mikado then summons his dagger, and tries to cut Sora open, but she takes a tremendous leap back and dodges.

RRAAAGH!

HUP!

*Sora launches another beam of energy, that crashes into the pillar, but Mikado leaps out of the way.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING STRIKE!

*True to his call, Mikado launches a lightning bolt at Sora, that branches out in different directions. Despite this, Sora is still able to avoid the blasts, but Mikado just keeps firing them. She tries to put as much distance between the two of them as possible. using both the pillars as a means of escape, and also lifting more of them up as a means of protection.

RAAAAAAGH!

AAAAAAH!!

*However, despite her best efforts, Mikado notices what she’s doing, and uses a fireball to wreck the next pillar Sora heads for. With nothing to stand on, she falls quickly to the ground...

Ah...nrgh, huh, HAH!

*Clumsily, as she falls, Sora channels her energy and blasts the ground underneath her, giving her a softer, but still very rough, landing.

RAAGH!

UUUGHUHGUH!

*It all ends up being in vain though, as no sooner does she land, Mikado flies down at incredible speed and punches her square in the gut.

Ugh...!

...Just as I thought...

AHG!

*He kicks her while she’s down, and continues to do so as he talks.

It matters not whether you share my power in this realm or not...You have no clue how to use it...

Without anyone else around you...you’re powerless...Hinata was only able to defeat me before because he had his friends backing him up, but there’s no one here for you...

Grr...

Don’t worry...You’ll see them soon, I’m sure...After all, it’s been a while since you’ve seen Shinji...and Emma...and Kokoro...and the rest...

...

And don’t worry...When you get there, I’ll be sure to point Yoruko and the rest of your scoundrel friends in the right direction...

...RGH...!

*sigh* Forgive me...I’m rambling...

Anyway, my point is, prepare to join them...

Prepare to DIIIEE!!! AHAHAHAHA!

AH!

*Mikado channels his fire energy and creates what is basically a small meteor, that he prepares to smash directly into the wounded Sora. But just as he takes a swing...

*BANG!*

AH!

Wha-!?

*A bullet comes soaring out of nowhere and pierces straight through the metor blast, causing it to explode and shaking Mikado off balance.

What the hell!?

...!?

...!?

You...

*They both turn in the direction of the shooter.

...

Yoruko...No! What are you-

Sora...Sorry about this!

*Suddenly, Yoruko aims her gun at Sora, and with cautious aim, shoots her.

WHA-!?

*However, she on purposefully misses, and instead hits...

YOU BIIIITCH!

*Mikado turns his attention to Yoruko, and soars straight at her, with a fiery fist.

...!!!??

DDIIIIIIIIIIIEEE!

AH!

!!??

!!!??

...

*Mikado stares in horror as his fist is caught by a strangely silent Sora...He preps another fire blast with his other hand at full power, but then that is deflected with a simple slap.

...

Ugh!

*Sora suddenly lightly shoves the wizard, then makes a gun shape with her hand...She aims at Mikado and...

...bang...

Wah-RRRRRRRRRRAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

*With no effort from Sora herself, Mikado is sent hurtling back, tumbling through the sky and crash landing into a pillar.

Oh thank god...I thought for a moment that it wouldn’t work...

What are you doing here!? Don’t you know how much danger you’re in!?

I know! Of course I do!

But you’re in danger too and...And I just can’t bare to see you die...

Not after...Not after we’ve only just reunited...

Yoruko...

Rei told me something...She told me that the shackles in your braids kept your power suppressed.

All I had to do was remove it, and you’d be able to win...

But...

Sora...

...?

Go kick his ass...

...

Right...

Nrgh...

*With her part done, Yoruko goes to take cover behind another code pillar. Sora turns back to Mikado, and creates a forcefield around herself.

Hup!

AAAAAAGGH!

*With the forcefield up, Sora charges at blinding speed directly into Mikado, and while ramming into him, drops it and punches him in the face.

AACK! Nrgh! AH!

*Mikado tries to steady himself and launch another fireball, but Sora is already right in front of him and launches one first. She then flies directly upward after launching him.

...!!

WAh! AH huh! YAH!

*Mikado scrambles around the pillar as Sora launches energy blasts down like bullets from a helicopter minigun. Thankfully for the wizard, he’s able to move out of the way.

...

Aaaaah!

*However, even so, Sora continues chasing him. Mikado serpentines the pillars...

Where do you think YOU’RE going!?

AAAH!

*Sora uses her energy in the surroundings, and clamps together two pillars before Mikado can fly through them. He slams head first into the wall, but forces himself to make a hasty recovery.

NRRRRGHH!

*Using a powerful blast, Mikado smashes the wall down, and as Sora approaches him, he turns around and launches a large blast of fire at her.

RRRGH!

YAH!

AAAAGHAHG!

*His blast does diddly-squat though, as Sora uses her power to charge straight through it. Realizing he’s losing, Mikado retreats once again and fires a strong wave of fire at Sora. Sora shapes the environment again and creates a wall of code to block it. He trues to retreat again, but Sora smashes through her own wall and then fires 5 large energy beams at Mikado, that home in on him. Even so, he’s able to outmaneuver them. Backed into a metaphorical corner, Mikado launches a similar attack at Sora. Sora however, easily counters it with her own attacks. When they are shot down, she launches one giant laser at Mikado. The wizard once again uses a blast to propel himself out of the way, and good thing too, as the pillar behind him is completely decimated in his place.

*heavy panicked panting*

...

*The following pursuit is frightful. Mikado serpentines the pillars in hopes of being able to escape Sora or tire her out, but she merely smashes straight through each and every one of them as she chases him. But eventually...his running is all for naught...

HHAAAAAHGH!!!

AAACCK!

*Sora catches up and grabs Mikado by the the foot. She then, with all the strength in her body, slams him straight down to the ground. There is a crash, and a loud crunch, as she then soars down, and knees him straight in the ribs.

...

Belch...BLECH!

*Mikado begins coughing up blood as Sora gets off him...

...

...Are you...are you about done...?

...

What do you think?

Hm?

After all you’ve done...After everything you’ve put us through...

Even now, you still threaten to ruin our lives...! To hurt people!

I...

I WON’T FORGIVE YOU!

UUUGH!

*Sora kicks him round the face, her foot colliding directly with his jaw.

Grhg...P-Please...AGCCK!

*A kick to the already broken ribs...

Now I get why Nikei wanted to hurt you so bad...

P-Please...Have mercy!

Mercy...?

UGCHK!

*She grabs him by the hair and neck, and knees him in the face.

MERCY!?

P-PLEASE!

S-Sora!

*Yoruko comes out of hiding and watches in horror as Sora brutalizes the wizard.

WHERE WAS MERCY WHEN YURI WAS DROPPED FROM THAT HEIGHT!?

UGH!

WHERE WAS MERCY WHEN YOU HAD HAJIME BELIEVE HE WOULD LIVE, BUT HE ENDED UP BEING BEATEN TO DEATH!?

AGCHK!

SORA! SORA WAIT!

KOKORO WHEN SHE WAS FROZEN TO DEATH!?

ugh...!

EMMA WHEN SHE WAS TORN APART BY MONSTERS! SETSUKA WHEN SHE WAS KILLED AND AMPUTATED

nrgh...p-please...

SHINJI, NIKEI, EVEN THE OTONOKOJI TWINS! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PUT THEM THROUGH ALL THAT SHIT!?

Mikado: ...

SORA! STOP IT!

*Yoruko finally reaches Sora, and grabs her by the arms to stop her.

PLEASE! Just...stop...

Yoruko...don’t you remember what this man has done!? WHY SHOULD I STOP!?

Because...b-because...

You’ve...already killed him...

...

...What...?

*Tensing up at her words, after being blinded by rage, she stares down at the man she was beating up...

...!

...

*Mikado Sannoji...is nothing more than a bloody paste of 1′s and 0′s...

//Mikado NEO...has died...//

[sai-teru]

Together with You

Summary: What if, on chapter 271/272 of the manga where Saiki removes his left hairpin device. The device that once removed… people of the world will know of his psychic ability. And what if, when he removes that device, it did really shows all over the world about Saiki being a psychic user? And that shocked even Kuusuke because he thought he de-activated it a long time ago. I want to start the story from that point on.

And by the way, this is a SaiTeru fanfic so what I'm saying is… the story will focus on both of them. We will see what their relationship goes. I'll stick to the manga's story as much as possible but of course, all scene will not be exactly as what the manga/anime goes.

Warning: And also, spoilers for those who’s just starting to read the manga or watching anime. If you just started and saw this story because you ship Saiki and Teruhashi then you'll be spoiled. Just a warning for you guys but, if you don't care about spoilers… then go ahead and read this story of mine.

Disclaimer: All characters are not mine they belong to Asou Shuuichi-Sensei.

That's all and let's start. Enjoy!

Edit: you can also view Chapter 2 here just click <-- 

Chapter 1: I'm (not)/ready to face the world!

When all said and done, after Saiki got the his limiter back that made Kuusuke frustrated because in just few more seconds he can have his sweet victory against his psychic little brother. But what happened next shocked both Toritsuka and Kuusuke. Because Saiki… Saiki removes the device that lets people all around the world know him.

"With that! This will be fair, right?"

"…Wh-" Kuusuke too shocked to manage a whole sentence. While Toritsuka asked Saiki's decision.

"Hey… Wh-why did you take that out Saiki-san!!!?” Toritsuka said first "Do you know what you just did? If you take out your left device… THE WHOLE WORLD WILL FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR POWERS!!!" he said frantically "You'll never be able to live normal life like before"

"…I know!" Saiki said monotonously. "But I don't want to live a normal life if it's at the expense of others. It seems I've already caused all sorts of trouble for you. Besides there is some truth to what he said. I'm sure things like war and crimes will decline if people know about me. Plus, if my powers keep growing sooner or later I won't be able to live a normal life either. It was bound to happen eventually." He uttered as a matter of fact but, his next words shocked Toritsuka no, what shocked him is that what Saiki showed him.

Saiki smiled genuinely to himself remembering the smiling faces of his friends that always bring troubles to him, and smiling to himself while he uttered his next words that shocked the spirit medium.

"I won't be able to go to school anymore after this. So… give my regards to everyone for me, okay?" he said softly. With that, Toritsuka felt angst in his heart.

"Saiki-san…" he said worriedly not believing that the Saiki he knows will make that face.

"Ah! It's already in the news." Kuusuke intervening his little brother braveness to accept his fate.

Toritsuka's head suddenly turn on his back facing Kuusuke asking him about the news.

"Huh!? Already?" He said worriedly. Then Kuusuke turned his phone so everyone can see what his seeing.

"Here!" He turned his phone to their eyelevel "See for yourselves. The baby panda… was finally born." Both where speechless at what they saw. Relief awash them specially Toritsuka. And as for Saiki… for the first time felt clueless at what is happening… now found his voice and asked his brother what happened

But all he can manage to say is "Huh?"

Kuusuke removing his suit, laughing hilariously seeing the expression of both specially his psychic brother where so much thrilling for him. Then he started explaining to them what really happened…

"I actually disabled that thing forever ago. Where you surprised? Ahahahahaha" again laughing at his brother shocked expression.

Then Saiki removes his limiter clenching his fist "Are those your last words?" He said angrily spreading dark aura in the room that Toritsuka move at the center to stop him.

"Waaaah!! Wait stop don't." The spirit medium hurriedly step-in to stop his friend from attacking his big brother that he still doesn't know at the time. Then looked at Kuusuke seriously and scold him "and you! Apologized!! Saiki-san was so prepared when he took it out!" then he remembered that soft expression Saiki made a while ago when saying his farewell for his friends.

He copied Saiki's gentle expression earlier while saying "Saiki-san actually said something like... Say hi to everyone for me…" then his facial expression turned back to frantic "with that looked on his face. He was so serious!!" he finally said and annoyed the psychic user even more.

"Okay! Both of you just stand still for a second." He annoyingly warns the two but he let it slide for a moment and look at kuusuke.

"And… why did you disabled it? And when? I thought you were serious when you said the world should know about me." Asking Kuusuke telepathically though he knew that he can't hear him but still knew what his asking anyway.

"Hmm…" Kuusuke thought first "I really did believe that back then, and I still believe it till now. If you used powers you could benefit humanity and rid the world of all conflicts." He answered.

"So why did you-" Kuusuke cut his thought off.

"But one day I suddenly realized… who cares about humanity?"

"You should care!" thought Saiki.

"Of course, I think mankind is important. But when it comes down to it they're all just strangers, so I don't really care what happens to them." He then removes his telepathy canceler. And his next choice of words and thought confuse Saiki. "Why should I have to sacrifice my cute little brother for the sake of strangers like them?

"Huh!" thought Saiki. He suddenly felt confuse and un-easy on that words that somehow felt doki-doki without his knowledge. Then all of sudden Toritsuka who's been listening intently suddenly realized something.

"WHAT!!! YOU TWO ARE BROTHERS?" shakily pointing his fingers to them while shocked written all over his face.

"You're just finding that out now?" saiki said as a matter of fact.

"Huuuhhh!!! Seriously??" he asked again confused.

Then Kuusuke didn’t mind the spirit medium as he continued with his explanation.

"Also, about the problem to your growing powers." He chimed and continued. "I thought maybe all the doctors and scientist in the world got together they could find a way to stop it…" then he smiled "But then, I realized that wouldn't work… I mean they're all way dumber than me" he laugh cockily while adding they're all so dumb.

Saiki sighs and answered "You're looking down on mankind way too much."

Kuusuke then continued. "Besides, I've already finished a device that can completely remove your powers."

"Well, I guess that's fine then" He uttered rather calmly without a second thought of what his brother just mentioned. While Kuusuke on the other hand got confused at first because his taking this news normally as he thought. Even so he let it slide as he continued.

"So basically there's no more reason to make your powers public." Kuusuke said and the the spirit medium agreed rather normally too.

"Yeah! If you can remove his powers then why bother!?" agreeing to kuusuke and cheered Saiki that now he can be normal like everyone else "Good for you Saiki-san! You can go back to living with everyone!!" he excitedly said to the psychic.

"Good grief… Just when I finally had an excuse to get away." He said calmly with ease.

"Oh you~ you're such a tsundere~" Toritsuka said in a teasing way.

"Kusuo's always been like that!" answered Kuusuke.

When they were busy celebrating. A thought suddenly cross their minds and now that they realized it. What Kuusuke said just now was a big bomb.

Sweat drop, the two look at Kuusuke with wide eyes and asked in unison "…Wait, what did you just say?"

Kuusuke looked at them confused and said. "Huh?" then realizing what they're asking to him so he repeat his self. "I said I made a device to get rid of your powers…"

Silence took over the place for a minute, harboring the information they suddenly realized until Toritsuka broke the ice and said.

"… Really?"

"Yup! I finally finished it! About half a year ago, I think?" Kuusuke answered rather calmly and continued. "Man~ it was really tough~" He said rather jokingly. "I was planning on using it after I pulled out your device…. But since you pulled it out yourself I wasn't really sure what to do~" he said.

"You're kidding, right?" Saiki, who's still having a hard time accepting the information his brother said. Even so, for the sake of his sanity he ask again. "You can erase… my powers…?" Then imagining his life without his powers excites him. Now, he can be normal like other human beings. He can do normal things. He can do whatever he wants without exposing his self. He can be as normal as he wants whenever he wants. All this thought makes him excited he can get his power rid right here right now with just one swoop. But then, he remembered that he still have one last job that needed to do before erasing his powers. And so he looked at Kuusuke again to ask him one last question. But then, Toritsuka beat him to it.

"So… how can he erase his powers?" The spirit medium ask Kuusuke to which the latter excitedly show his ultimate getting rid of Kusuo's power device version 2.0.

He pick some kind of small box on his pocket and showed it to them which Saiki thoughts his asking for a hand of marriage something like that. But when he saw what's inside… it made him uneasy because it looks embarrassing that he also thought not to use it. The device kuusuke made look just like his limiters but instead of circle the shape of it is like a poof to which disgust him.

"It looks so lame." He said without shame.

"Well don't blame me, I didn't have much choice. It had to be made like this due to the way it functions and the materials I was working with." He said convincingly.

"You're definitely lying" Saiki thought uneasily. Then Toritsuka batt-in.

"Are you really going to put that on Saiki-san? If you do… your powers will be gone!?" asking his psychic friend worriedly.

"Of course ill have it. Besides, if I take it off my powers will be bac-" Kuusuke cutting him off.

"If you put this device on. Your power will be gone forever." With that said both were speechless. So, kuusuke asked him again this time with seriousness.

"You can put this on now and your power will be gone for good. So… I'm going too asked you again one more time… Do want to erase your powers… Kusuo?" with that, Saiki look at the device Kuusuke was holding and now in deep thought on what to do next.

But, in the end he took the device on Kuusuke's hand and hold on to it. Instead of putting the device on his head, he put it on his pocket and instead the device he place on his head were the old ones that shocked his two companion.

"I'll hold on to this for a while. I'll definitely used this when the time has come. Because there is still a job I needed to finished…" He said calmly and then remembering the thing Akeechi said to him a while back.

"Im saying I can still be your playmate Kusuo-kun."

"Is it okay if I come over to hangout again sometime?"

While remembering that scene, he smile to himself and look at kuusuke which the latter got confused.

"I think I'll stay as your playmate a little longer." Smiling genuinely at his brother as he continue. "Try and take it from me anytime."

Kuusuke, shock at what his little brother said look down for a moment and smiled for a bit "honestly… What a bratty little brother." He thought fully well that Saiki will hear him. And when he look at him he saw him smirk. While Toritsuka was happy that everything went well and no casualties happened.

But, the next thing that happened shook them.

Kuusuke's phone rang all of a sudden and the caller was their mom, when he answered it. Their Mom's voice were shaking over the phone. When kuusuke was about to ask why her voice are shaky, their Mother ask hurriedly.

-Kuu-kun… d-do you happened to k-know where Ku-chan is?-

But before the next scene played. Saiki with wide eyes look at Kuusuke, rather he knows what their mother was about to tell. But still… he went silent as he waited until Kurumi announce it herself.

-K-Ku-chan is… Ku-chan is on the news worldwide.-

-End of chapter 1-

[thornstocutyouwith]

My relationship with Supernatural has been

Obsessed with Sam

Likes watching Dean get hurt.

Hahah. Fuck you John. That haircut is RIDICULOUS!

Misha Collins.

Fuck you Sam. You are the worst character.

Castiel is now best character.

Dean is a lot more entertaining.

Sam shut up.

Sam, SHUT. Up.

Please for the love of all that is Holy in Castiel’s BODY, shut the fuck up, Sam.

I like Lucifer. He’s a good boy.

Lucifer is evil, I like him more.

You wouldn’t mind if I just, disappear and not watch the show for a bit, boys, Right?

Fuck monster of the week.

Fuck Monster of the Week.

FUCK, I HATE MONSTER OF THE WEEK.

I WANT A STORY!

Finally Lucifer, please, kill all your siblings.

Especially that one.

Noooo...NOT Adam.

His name is Chuck, and I don’t GIVE A FUCK.

Yatta yatta yatta, Please. SPARE me this SHIT. Where’s the story?!

Oh Surprise surprise. ANOTHER monster of the week. Hot damn.

Castiel and Dean are looking great these last couple seasons.

Destiel is certainly a thing to ...behold.

Stop talking about Destiel.

Stop talking about Destiel.

Personally I’m a big fan of Castiel getting the worst treatment. Because in the end he deserves the best and this show is never going to end because they said so.

John’s hair makes perfect sense when he’s younger. Younger John is awesome.

That time I only came back to watch Dean be a cowboy

The time I came back because Castiel’s plot got an update.

CASTIEL IS GOD!

Look at him go. Zoom!

There’s sin everywhere.

He’s falling apart!

Oh....Oooo Yes. Be a badass.

My obsession with ‘black veins’ as marks of evil has a start date.

Where’s Adam?

Blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Tell me when something GOOD happens.

Crowley is my THIRD favorite character. I’ve just decided.

Demon Dean. FINA-FUCKING-LLY!

This season is one of the good ones.

The best thing about Crowley’s mother is her accent.

LASSITER?! DOES SHAWN SPENCER KNOW WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DOING SINCE PSYCH ENDED?!?

What happened? I disappeared for a minute and now The Darkness is released? DOES IT add to the story? Good. Then I’ll take it.

And there goes my ability to give a single shit. See you later boys.

Missing all the Casifer in the process of ignoring all the stuff I don’t care about.

Oh knooooow *Being ‘spoiled’ by tumblr how much of the next few season are going* Not...Charlie...How terrible.

Comes back to watch the end of the season where Amara and Chuck fight each other.

“How Lovely. Brother and Sister. Together again. Makes me SICK!”

There’s The Anti-christ. It’s happening! Finally!

Back tracks through season 12 to make sure I have all the knowledge I need.

Oh, well, fuck it. Leaves before the baby is born.

Sees the baby in a closet now a full grown man through a set of tumblr gifs “Interesting.”

Jack is now my second favorite character. You are welcome.

Aaannnd where back to bullshit. Call me when you latch onto a significant plot development.

A Scooby do episode?! NO WAAAY! I hate it already.

Wait. GABRIEL’S BACK? WHERE!

Oooo.....noooo Michael took over Dean’s body. It’s not like. I’ve barely been watching this show. Because that should have happened. FOREVER AGO! No. Couldn’t be. I would never be so stubborn.

Annnnd it gone. Lame. I’m going back to pretending nothing’s going on. Because NOTHING IS!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE’S DEAD?!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BELPHEGOR TOOK OVER HIS BODY!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? I mean, I like it. Belphegor. Good for you

Imagine that, Chuck, not being very nice. Imagine it. Completely destroy his character. Who honestly gives a fuck at this point.

Despair. Yes. I suppose the very lease I can do is watch the last few episodes of the final season. THE VERY LEAST.

Heey Castiel...What the HELL happened to yOU?!?

Yeeesss, Let’s blog the child up. I like that plan. He’s going to explode real nicely.

Look at them. All Glowed up and NO WHERE TO FUCKING GO.

God, please. God. Just. Why. Why are you here? Who pissed in your cornflakes.

You can’t blame Castiel for all your problems God.

So your angel Finally said It loves you and then gets sucked into SuperHell. That sucks, Buddy.

Everyone’s gone. Again. Good. How it began. How it should en-

Siiiiiiiigh. YES?! DEAN?? SAAAAAM? What the HELL is your problem? Oh. Do you miss your friends? Do you? Waaaah. Do the Winchesters need a WAAAAMbulance? Where’s ADAM!?  You think about that. You think about what you’ve done for so long.

Oh hey, there’s Adam, welcome back meat suit. Michael, have a seat. Betray that which you should be protecting. AS IF YOUR FUCKING PURPOSE.

Look at that my Third favorite Character is here to and has clearly lost his FUCKING mind. Lucifer, are you alright?  Did you-And he’s gone. Well that WAS FUN.

For some reason I get the feeling that this entire episode is a farce. Because I do not believe Dean is smart enough to remember ALL of that mind fucking of a plan AND pull it off at the same time. But if it is real, well color me surprised. Because Sam actually explained something properly for once in his life without needing to backtrack and duped Death, God, AND the Archangel Michael. Hot damn.

BOOM!

So that thing becomes a power vacuum and just sucks up all the powers of a Primordial being... Okay. Whatever you say.

Don’t make Rob breath in the dirt! Stop it! Rob’s been through ENOUGH!

So we just going to leave Chuck out here and be all “We don’t need to destroy him” Now. Bitch. You were two minutes away from putting a bullet in your own brother just to throw a Child turned into a BOMB at God and his Sister, so that you could destroy him an episode ago. Who you kidding?

Ew. Why would you allow THAT thing to be GOD?!

I’m going to miss you, ....Jack.

God is now my Fourth favorite character. What can I say. Anyone who blows the door off it’s hinges and has the nerve to walk like a super villain and accuse everyone who fucked up their story to their faces has to be fourth best character in my book. lol.

“You want to watch the final two hour episode with me?”

“It’s going to be a highlight episode for the first hour. No.”

[sharyrazade]

Maybe it’s because I was spoiled by Ashnard (BL/AM spoilers)

Having pre-battle convos with everyone and their grandmother, but as hype as the battle with a certain Lovecraftian Juliette Caesar in Three Houses was, I was a little...disappointed by the lack of pre-battle exchanges with her. I mean, it’s completely justifiable plot-wise to only have Byleth and Dimitri having them, but I was still mildly disappointed by the missed opportunity, so I took the opportunity to correct it myself! This was originally only supposed to be with the other Black Eagles, but you know how things get with me; they snowball.

Okay, I can’t (and won’t) take credit for ALL of these. Just most of them.

HE: So I see you have betrayed the Empire after all, Ferdinand. It seems you truly are so petty to commit treason over an old rivalry. Or perhaps you simply want the throne for yourself...

Ferdinand: I am anything but, Edelgard. This mad dream of yours- it ends today.

HE: You always were an arrogant bastard. Do you truly believe you can match my power?

Ferdinand: I cannot and I accept that fact. But as long as I have the Professor and all of our allies by my side, we cannot- will not lose!

HE: Arrogant insect! I’ll crush you like I should have done ages ago!

Linhardt: So your crests did hide such power after all...fascinating.

HE: Stare all you like, Linhardt. For I will be the last thing you see!

Linhardt: [sighs] It’s a shame. In all of the Empire’s history, perhaps no other ruler has used the talents at her command to the degree you have...But all the same, no other emperor has chosen a path so incredibly stupid. Farewell, Edelgard. I suppose it won’t do anyone any good to let you live in this state.

Caspar: [shocked] Edelgard! W-what the hell happened to you?!

HE: I’ve become more powerful than you could ever dream of, Caspar. You have chosen very poorly to stand against me.

Caspar: I could say the same! I’ve got no interest in gaining power just to trample on the weak like you do! And that you’re ready to become a monster to get it?!

HE: Come, show me how strong you’ve become- let me crush you!

HE: Is that you, Bernadetta? Tell me; what does the little mouse have to say before the eagle swoops in to claim her?

Bernadetta:..I finally understand what it is I wanted. I wanted you to acknowledge me. To accept me as an equal, not a vassal...But that’s not enough. You said to me “can you not live unless you were born for some purpose?” I’m not living for anyone else. There’s no special meaning in living. When I sensed my own death, I wanted to live. I know now. That’s all I needed. So...I don’t need you anymore, Edelgard. It doesn’t matter if you accept me or not. Here I am. Alive! And we will defeat you!

HE: You’ve acquired some impudent wisdom, Bernadetta. Too bad you’ve acquired it too late to do you any good! Die!

HE: [Angry monstrosity noises]

Dorothea: [sadly] Oh, Edie...what’s become of you...? I suppose...it would be the least I could do...

HE: You would dare raise your weapon to me, Petra? Your sister of sorts? After everything the Empire’s done for Brigid?

Petra: Yes, I will. I believe in the Professor. And I will not sacrificing the life of my people for your dreams, Edelgard!

HE: Insolent girl! Once I’m done with you, I’ll raze those damnable islands and salt the earth!

HE: You lowly lapdog! You would dare turn your blade against the savior of your people?! On behalf of the King of Faerghus?!

Dedue: [smug] Yes. Yes, I would. It seems you’ve taken on an appropriately monstrous form to match your soul, Emperor of Adrestia. And THAT is exactly why I believe in His Highness and the Professor- instead of you.

HE: Prepare to justify your poor choices to your butchered kin and people- your reunion with them is imminent!

HE: Grrrah! Fraldarius dog! Had it not been for you and your cursed family-

Felix: Shut up. This will be the greatest fight of my life. I don’t intend to have you ruin it with your babbling. Besides, I’ve got a score to settle with you on behalf of my father and brother anyway.

HE: Discuss it with them in the next life! Die!

Felix: Show me what you can do, Emperor of Adrestia.

Ashe: [disturbed] Waaaah! E-edelgard? Is...that really...you?

HE: You! You are the lowliest scum of them all! Raising your bow against me in favor of the murderers of Lonato and Christophe!

Ashe: Don’t...you dare speak their names, Edelgard! The very last thing they would want is for me to “live” like you- obsessed with revenge!

HE: If you are so confident in their answer, ask them yourself! Die!

Sylvain: Eeesh, I’ve heard of stress aging people, but this is ridiculous.

HE: You insolent fop! You want nothing more than to be liberated from your crest, but turn your blade against your liberator!

Sylvain: Oh, you know what? I changed my mind. That won’t matter after we beat the snot out of you anyway.

HE: Allow me to relieve you from your tortured existence then!

HE: Do you truly seek to meet your goddess so soon, weakling?

Mercedes: [softly] Dear Goddess, please forgive what I’m about to do- please grant this tortured soul the peace she was unable to find in life.

HE: [angry] Don’t you DARE pity me!

Annette: (Alright, Annie, this is it. Just stay calm, and start casting)

HE: You weak-hearted fool. Still content in your servitude for nothing in return. A pathetic old fool of a knight sires a pathetic, foolish daughter- how poetic.

Annette: [angry] Alright, you’ve done it now, Edelgard!

HE: You insignificant gnat! Do you truly love your sorry lot in life so? You hate your station and its burdens, but wish to throw your life away for this rabble?

Ingrid: Maybe I do. But I do know one thing for certain: I hate tyrants like you more!

Lorenz: [shocked] Edelgard?! How ghastly!

HE: This is what true power looks like. Your foolish notions of chivalry and noble obligations have no place in my new world.

Lorenz: [irritated] I might say the same of you and your tyranny. En garde!

HE: You musclebound dolt. What is it you truly hope to gain, standing against me?

Raphael: I made a promise to myself and everyone when you attacked the monastery. No matter who I had to do it from, I’d protect my sis and all of our friends from the Empire- even if I’ve gotta throw down with you, Edelgard!

HE: I assure you, all of them- and your dear sister- are not long for this world!

HE: I’m somewhat impressed that you found the courage to stand against me, worm. Do you truly hate your life so much?

Ignatz: [slightly disturbed] N-not at all. I love my life- I love this world. That’s why...I’m willing to give it to protect the world from you!

HE: The world needs me! It does not need insignificant specks like you!

HE: This is most unfortunate. We are very much the same, Lysithea. And yet you still have chosen poorly- for that, you must pay with your life.

Lysithea: If I had followed your path...would this have happened to me, as well...? As someone who shares your fate...Edelgard! I will destroy you!

Marianne:..

HE: Out of all our school chums, you probably confound me the most. You should be crawling to me, begging to be a part of my new order. To take revenge on those who scorned and mocked you your entire life. Called you a monster.

Marianne: [softly] Monster...

HE: I am Fódlan’s only hope for a future not shrouded in darkness!

Marianne: [angry] Edelgard! Your life ends at my hands!

Hilda:...Yikes! Talk about a bad look on you.

HE: All you EVER had to do was hand over the Hero’s Relic and TRY to convince that scheming bastard to stand down. You could have had a life of comfort, luxury, and more wealth than you could have ever known what to do with!

Hilda: And betray Claude, the Professor, and my brother? Don’t think so!

HE: It seems I misjudged you.

Hilda: Damn right you did, you freak!

HE: My new world has far greater use for your skills than this lot. Why then have you chosen these bluebloods and malcontents?

Leonie: What kind of use? Trampling on the weak? Brutally killing your enemies, real or imagined? No thanks! I’d never be able to look myself- let alone Captain Jeralt- in the eye ever again!

HE: Your reverence for that admittedly-powerful freak of nature shall be your downfall, Leonie.

Leonie: “Freak?!” Oh-ho, that’s it, Edelgard; your freakish ass is mine!

Assuming he’s engaged Myson (because that’s what I did)

Seteth: [shocked] Of course! Those attacks...THAT’S what you needed with Flayn’s blood and Rhea both. You and your friends!

HE: Nosy old fossils such as yourself have no place in my new world- or any world! Do it a favor and die already!

Seteth: [simmering anger] Well said, Edelgard. In the name of Fódlan, your victims, the Goddess, and Nabatea alike, may your tyranny wither and die at my blade!

Flayn: Edelgard please! Cease this madness and release Rhea! For everyone’s sake!

HE: A creature like you is incapable of appreciating the ideal world that I have envisioned.

Flayn: How can your world be ideal when you’ve killed countless innocent people?!

HE: You...beast! Don’t tell me what’s right and wrong!

Hanneman: Edelgard?! Goddess, THIS is the sort of power that lies dormant in crests?! I suppose, given the potential complications with Hero’s Relics and incompatible crests...

HE: I tire of your babbling, old man! Die!

Manuela: [sadly] I always knew you were a little rough around the edges- hell, I was back in my day- still am. But this-

HE: Manuela, you insufferable old hag! You couldn’t have just left the stage gracefully, could you? Allow me to grant you one last curtain call! Die!

Gilbert:..

HE: [smug] Well, well, this pathetic old knight has come to me to seek penance for his failure.

Gilbert: Not quite, lass. In the name of both the daughter and king whom I could not be there for, your tyranny ends here, Emperor of Adrestia!

HE: I shall grant you the death you seek, you pathetic wretch!

Alois: Edelgard! It is high time you answered for your crimes!

HE: What, no stupid jokes or puns?

Alois: No. For Captain Jeralt...I would have followed them to the ends of the earth and into the eternal flames- even if it meant serving you. Boy, that was a close one!

HE: Well, discuss it with him in the afterlife! I shall send your dear wife and daughter there to greet you as well!

HE: [smug] Take a good look, Cassandra. It seems your beloved Lady Rhea’s existence has finally contributed something of value to the world.

Catherine: [furious] EDELGARD! I’ll cut you into a thousand pieces, then grind you into dust!

HE: Show yourself, wretch! Know that I will find you eventually, and when I do...

Shamir: Yep, that definitely settles it. No way am I getting paid anywhere close to enough for this.

HE: What a pest you are!

Cyril: I fight for everything living and breathing and all of your victims. I fight for the Professor and all of our friends. But most of all, I fight for Lady Rhea! And it’s in all their names that I will crush you, Emperor of Adrestia! I won’t let you steal another innocent life!

Amy and Mallory:

One of Amy’s closest friends from the coven, Mallory! Not to mention a witch who’s a BIT closer in age with Amy compared to the other girls who were like 5 years older than her...

After the original coven outed witches to the world, Mallory was one of those witches who arrived and became fast friends with Amy and was Amy’s only friend for a while in the coven since the other new witches were mean to her, but Mallory always stood up for her. 

Since then, Mallory has become one of Amy’s best friends and the former was heartbroken when Amy left to go attend school in UA, but nonetheless expressed that she believed in her and would be cheering her on the entire way. 

Mallory’s actually only 3 years older than her, but the two are very close, like witch sisters. Although Amy is clearly the lazier of the two, Mallory finds her adorable and is more than happy to tend to her every need and take care of her. In fact, when people comment on this, Mallory just sweetly replies that she has no issue and thinks Amy is cute when she’s lazing about as she likens her to a cute little sloth. In return, Amy adores Mallory and views her as the big sister she never had and holds her in very high regard as both a kind-hearted young woman and a very powerful, fierce one at that. Although Amy has her own theory that she believes Mallory is an actual angel, due to both her compassionate and empathetic nature and her powers that even she notes are unnatural for a witch and can’t quite be quirk-related. 

While Amy is usually pouty about admitting that someone is stronger than her, Mallory is the one of the few people Amy genuinely respects in terms of strength and has no problem saying that Mallory is stronger than her because she knows it’s true. Amy tends to stand up for Mallory though and demand that others, including her friends, better respect her because she’s a woman worthy of it. Also, Amy is partially aware of how Mallory looks after her, and often tries to return the favor by buying her things but Mallory just reassures her and says that Amy being her friend is already returning the favor, much to Amy’s delight.

It helps that Mallory also gets along quickly with Amy’s new classmates at UA, with Iida and Yaoyorozu in particular canonizing her as a saint that they needed to keep Amy under control. However, some of Amy’s other friends tend to envy Mallory and her saint-like patience with the younger witch as nothing Amy does seems to faze the older witch whatsoever and they wonder if she even has any weaknesses. Shinsou in particular admits to being jealous of Mallory at times since she’s so doting towards Amy and the latter is always fawning about her,, but despite that Shinsou does like Mallory and has a lot of respect for her. And then Bakugo soon begins to envy Mallory when he meets the older witch because she shows talent in just about everything, including academics, power and household domestics. 

Annoyed by her sheer amount of talents, he challenged the older witch to an array of contests just to beat her at something. However, Bakugo ended up being humiliated when Mallory bested him in just about everything, as they started off with a fight which lasted for only 10 seconds as Mallory effortless beat him with telekinesis alone. And finally they had a bake-off to see who’s desserts Amy preferred, and she chose Mallory’s over his. While he has nothing against Mallory, he’s not very fond of her but she remains cordial, albeit passive-aggressive to him. Secretly, Mallory is aware of how much Amy likes her and sometimes tends to subtly brag about it to others, but this is mostly towards Madison and Bakugo due to their bad attitudes.

The jealousy only grows though whenever Amy and Mallory become physically affectionate with each other, as Amy and Mallory often hug, hold hands and have no issues kissing each other in front of others. Amy even tends to let Mallory sleep in her bed at times, which the older witch has no problem with. This physical affection however does sometimes give others the wrong idea though, as an embarrassed Todoroki believed that Amy and Mallory were a lesbian couple. Although Amy does remark that she wouldn’t mind that as she says that she has a gay spot for Mallory, which highly flatters the latter and irritates Bakugo and prompts his friends to joke with him and say that Mallory is going to ‘steal’ his girl someday, only for him to yell at them to shut up. 

After Amy attacked UA, Mallory and Coco moved to Japan to live with Amy at her mansion and since then have been her roommates and caretakers with Mallory taking the reigns and caring for the young witch. Elated and warmed by her, Amy clung to Mallory who was more than glad to give her all the sympathy and reassurance that she needed. However, while Mallory’s love comes from a good place, she often enabled (and still continues to do so) Amy’s bad behavior and does not always give her the honest truth that Amy may sometimes need. Although, Mallory does state that she’s aware of this fact, but she knows that Amy is already well aware of her flaws and issues and doesn’t need to be reminded. Despite this, Mallory is capable of giving Amy some advice and talking her through the issues whenever Amy talks to her about it, but the older witch knows how to be gentle when Amy is feeling unstable and was able to convince her to go back to UA through gentle reassurance alone. 

While Amy mostly relies on Mallory, she proves that Mallory can also rely on Amy as the two of them went through a very hellish ordeal in the original timeline where Michael Langdon rose to power as the Anti-Christ, killed almost the entire coven and started the apocalypse. With their identities changed under a spell by Cordelia for their own protection, the two were still inseparable and with Coco until Cordelia returned to grant them their identities back. Amy and Mallory realized that they were the only two who had a chance of stopping Michael, although Mallory was still having doubts about being able to use the time spell. When she gets injured by a crazed Brock, Amy is quick to help her and tries desperately to heal the wound so she can use the spell and cries for her when she thinks Mallory is about to die. 

Until Cordelia makes the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the coven and the world, Mallory is finally able to use the spell and Amy quickly joins her to grant her some of her power and the two of them are able to go back in time to stop Michael together. However, Amy was sympathetic to the young boy and instead encouraged Mallory to take pity on Michael and instead of killing him, to teach him how to be better as the two girls ended up taking him to the coven to harness his powers, control his demonic impulses and become an ally to the witches. Currently, Amy and Mallory are the only two to be aware of what happened in the original timeline and the two decided to keep it all a secret and only change SOME aspects of the future, such as ensuring that Queenie does not visit the Hotel Cortez. 

After the apocalypse and the two witches return to their normal times, they did not get out of it unscathed as Amy and Mallory both still tend to have nightmares about everything that occurred. While Amy’s classmates and Mallory’s sisters are concerned and try to ask them about it, the girls instead only write off what they dreamed about as just a dream despite both girls knowing that everything that they saw in their dreams actually happened. Only Amy and Mallory can confide in each other when these nightmares happen because they don’t want to scare anyone, nor do they want to be pitied for what they had to go through. It’s times like these where the two witches display even more affection as Amy tells Mallory that if she is the next Supreme that it would be amazing because Mallory already has proven that she’s going to be an incredible Supreme due to her compassion and empathy for her sisters but willingness to fight and kill for them. And likewise, Mallory reassures Amy about herself and tells her that no matter how anyone views her, good or bad, that she will always love her because they’re best friends and sisters. 

To this day, Amy and Mallory still have a strong bond and she remains one of Amy’s closest, most trusted and loyal witch sisters as she can rely on her for just about anything. And Mallory extends this loyalty and kindness to Amy’s other friends and of course her best friends Shinsou and Ashlen. Two of whom Mallory has love for as she constantly likes to tell both Shinsou and Ashlen that she’s so happy that they’re in Amy’s lives because they make her truly happy, something Mallory confesses is what makes her happy. 

Waaaah their friendship is cute... helps that they’re both Cancers, not unlike her and Shinsou, who is a Cancer too. Although I will admit there is a BIT of sapphic elements in Amy and Mallory’s friendship, but I like a little bit of that to be honest~. Girl friendships~. 

[bigskydreaming]

Just heard about Tom King’s explanation for why Bruce hit Tim in Batman #71, and its gross and stupid and awful and IMO probably just backpedaling and something he worked in after the fact when he got hit with a ton of backlash he didn’t see coming because he didn’t think it was that big a deal when he wrote it. As far as I’m concerned, its still abuse apologism, because coming up with a make believe in story justification for why Bruce hitting his kid wasn’t really what it looked like, even though it very definitively was meant to look like Bruce hitting his kid, like...hello, that is very much the essence of abuse apologism. God, I can’t wait for him to be gone.

That said, I know people are celebrating Tynion taking over, but I’m still extremely wary on that front, and I’d like this to be talked about more, given the EXACT things fandom is most holding against King, myself included, and all with very good reason. Because I have DEFINITELY not forgotten Tynion’s bullshit inclusion of BOTH Tim AND Damian hitting Dick at different points in Batman & Robin Eternal, simply because they were pissed at him, and him making no attempt to defend himself or call them out for this, and then with Jason eagerly trying to bond with Tim over this moment and being gleeful about it and comparing it to his recent punching of Dick in Grayson #12 and like, wanting to talk about how good it felt to deck the Golden Boy.

Because it was NO different, and it drives me nuts that Tynion’s writing is so positively regarded because fandom is more than happy to forget about those instances since it goes hand in hand with the tendency to gloss over things other family members do to Dick. And again, let me be clear, this in NO way is meant to lessen, invalidate or take away from the very justified and rightful criticism of King’s writing of Bruce and Tim, its simply a plea for people to BE CONSISTENT WITH THIS STUFF, AND NOT JUST BASE IT AROUND WHETHER OR NOT IT HAPPENS TO A CHARACTER YOU LIKE.

An older brother passively letting his younger brothers all hit him and get away with it and make no attempt to EVER raise it as a criticism or point of complaint against them, because its a kind of apology for upsetting them each to the point where they wanted to hit him, like. That is STILL abusive as hell. It doesn’t matter that he’s the older one, because abuse isn’t about set ages or positions or anything like that. Its simply a dynamic. Its the exploitation of a power or advantage one person has over the other. In each of these cases, it was the exact same dynamic...the power that was exploited in each of those scenes, that the brothers all had and Dick has never been shown having a comparable advantage, is that Dick was desperate for his brothers to forgive him and get past their issues with him, and he was willing to do or allow anything to see that happen, and Jason, Tim and Damian were each very much aware of this tendency and desire of Dick’s, and at no point was it ever framed as if any of the three had any expectation or care that Dick might retaliate or hold this against them. This is an abusive set up, its shitty, bad writing for a family, and not calling it out as such is shitty, bad writing and bad takes and abuse apologism.

This isn’t meant as a bash Jason, Tim or Damian thing, because that would require accepting this as part of their family dynamic with Dick, and I DON’T. Its a terrible dynamic, it should be regarded as such, and pushed back against and called out rather than ignored or normalized. Every bit as much as Bruce’s abusive actions at times are called out. If people don’t want to validate these scenes’ existence at all, I can understand and empathize, but as I’ve said in past posts, the problem I have is with the willingness to engage on the topics and instances of Bruce being abusive with Jason or Tim but then any mention of similar shitty scenes between him and Dick at MOST reduced to ‘and he’s punched Dick a couple of times’ before swiftly moving on. BE CONSISTENT. That’s all I’m asking. 

What King wrote was shit. He should be gone. I’m glad to see him gone. It should be addressed. It should get all the fix-it fics. I’m glad to see it get all the fix-it fics.

I’m just extremely unsettled by the cheers for the return of a writer who wrote THE SAME DAMN KIND OF SHIT in one of his most acclaimed instances of writing the Batfamily, with no mention of these exact same kinds of scenes, dynamics, and bullshit explanations or lack of followup and accountability....from either canon OR in fandom responses to that canon, potential fix-it fics, etc. The fact that in Tynion’s case, each and every one of those scenes happened to revolve around the character that fandom most frequently glosses over being the butt of his family’s bad writing or worst tendencies, like....its not a coincidence, its like pretty much the entire heart of my constant harping on about double standards and inconsistent criticisms of hugely charged topics such as abuse and abuse apologism.

Again, I DON’T want to see it validated that everyone in Dick’s family is apparently fine with hitting him when they’re ticked at him. I just want to see it validated that this is a thing that has been written more than once into canon, and normalized into more than one fanfic. With no resulting trend of fix-it fics that either tackle addressing these instances, revealing they’re a problem, discussing why they’re a problem, or rewriting those dynamics entirely so that this problem never exists in the first place...the way fandom produces fix-it fics and headcanons for the times other Batfam characters are the ones victimized.

Tynion has written some good stuff. Far more than King has ever managed. But I’m still extremely worried about HIM of all people, being the follow up to King, given the specific nature of most peoples’ issues with King and his writing.

Because when Tynion has written the exact same kind of bullshit, with like....no real sign of pushback or criticism from fandom and readers saying hey this is bullshit, this is NOT the kind of family dynamics we want to see...

There is absolutely no reason to hope or be optimistic that Tynion won’t pull the same crap again and think nothing of it....because unlike with King, nobody’s making enough noise about how this is crap and writers should think twice before writing it!

Just to be perfectly 100% clear, that is the ONLY real point of this post. This is not a waaaah, Dick has it so much harder than everyone else, it is not an attempt to make it a competition, it is not an attempt to take anything away from Tim or the reactions fandom had to what happened to him, this is simply me being worried about seeing more bullshit happen to yes, admittedly my favorite character here, but specifically because we’re going into a new run written by a writer who’s already established a tendency to write this kind of dynamic in regards to the kind of scenario where Dick feels he has stuff to make up for and his family has reason to be angry at him, with fandom largely agreeing....given that y’know, we’re talking about that very same writer now about to take over at a time when Dick will once again only JUST be returning to his normal self as Nightwing and Dick Grayson and a member of his family....with him most likely being poised to feel he has stuff to make up for and his family has reason to be angry at him, with fandom largely agreeing.

Like, do you see why I’m concerned about that particular combination of things, especially when added to the supreme lack of mentions these moments of Batman & Robin Eternal got the first time around? 

And given that all the issues people have with Ric Grayson are quite likely to be transferred right back over to Dick the second Ric disappears for good, even though all their criticisms and complaints are more accurately attributed to the actions of someone who’s been pointed out to essentially NOT be Dick Grayson, as in that’s the entire premise of the story.....much like how all the issues people had with Spyral and Dick’s faked death landed solely on him at the time, even though all their criticisms and complaints were more accurately attributed to Bruce’s canon actions?

Just saying, as much as I hate King’s writing of Batman #71 and his followup to it, at least its been a relief to see that hatred validated and reflected across the board by all parts of fandom, even those of us who aren’t Tim fans first and foremost. Its crap. We all agree its crap. Nobody’s saying otherwise. Just like with Lobdell’s bullshit with RHATO #25. I never WANT to have to read about abuse within the Batfamily and ensuing abuse apologism but it really really really helps when fandom’s largely on the same page about it being what it is and saying in no uncertain terms, hey, we don’t want to see this shit.

Just...please, please, please don’t make me sit through months and months of abuse and abuse apologism in canon and fandom if history repeats here again, just because ‘well at least its not King’ and because its happening to Dick instead of Jason or Tim. That’s all. That’s literally my only point and concern.

Brothers Conflict Short Stories: Tempted by Lies and Traps

Iori: “Ah, Fuuto has appeared”

At 9 o’clock at night Iori and I sit side by side on the sofa in the living room watching a drama series.

On the reflection from the screen the main protagonist appears as the active high school student, Fuuto’s shadow.

(Waaaah….)

The Fuuto on TV is very handsome. In order to play the character, he lost weight and looks more tall and slender than before.

Iori: “Eh, watching the TV like this, I think Fuuto’s acting skills really are very good.”

Iori is right.

Fuuto who is working as the idol ‘Asakura Fuuto’ is extremely popular, but he likes acting more, so he is studying acting by himself. Lately his hard work is finally being acknowledged.

Iori: “Ah.”

Iori’s voice echoed by my ears.

Iori: “Seems like it’s the next scene, I’m coming out.”

Ema: “…is it?”

Iori: “Mm, that’s what the script says.”

A beautiful beach appears on the screen. Wearing a swimsuit and jacket, Fuuto is walking along it.

Fuuto: “It’s really hard, the scenes where you’re only walking or standing there.”

I thought of what Fuuto said in the past about acting.

Fuuto: “Those crying or emotional scenes, are relatively simple. But these simple movements or positions are actually very hard. So being able to do these things really well depends on the actor’s skills.”

Thinking about it, Fuuto’s walking position in this scene is really different, yet it doesn’t feel unnatural either. In other words, his posture right now makes people think that it really suits the role.

(…he’s really dedicated to acting.)

At this time, on the other side of the screen a couple appears.

(…ah)

Iori is smiling on the screen.

Iori: “It’s us.”

“….”

Even though I knew about this, it still feels embarrassing. I unconsciously turn my head away.

(I really should have rejected the offer…)

----Why are Iori-san and I appearing on TV?

It happened 2 months ago.

That day even though Fuuto had a photoshoot, he overslept because he was too exhausted. Because of this, the manager and president of Fuuto’s agency hurriedly came to our house.

At this time, by coincidence only Iori was at home, so he went down to greet the two guests.

Since then, the president kept asking Iori to appear on TV.

Fuuto: “Saying that she really likes his looks…our president is also very casual.”

The character that Iori would play is the older brother of the main character that Fuuto is playing.

When the main character returns to his hometown on an island he coincidentally encounters him, but the relationship between the two brothers is not very good.

This is the decisive picture.

The main character whines to his brother’s lover.

The president wanted to use the identity of his real older brother to help increase publicity.

After accepting the contract, Iori turned to the president and said something unexpected.

Iori: “I want to choose the actress who will play the part of my lover.”

At this time, I happened to come out from the kitchen carrying tea for Iori and the president.

I could feel the presidents anxiety after hearing Iori’s words.

I thought she was probably worried that Iori would choose some famous female actress or idol.

Just as the president was about to deny the request Iori gave his answer.

Iori: “It’s her.”

He said as pointing at me.

…Of course at the very start I rejected the request. However the president relentlessly and sincerely begged me, making me unable to reject. Since there were no lines, all I had to do was stand there, with these conditions I was unable to refuse.

But when I really saw the scene, even though I was only standing there, I still felt very embarrassed. It was really hard to watch.

Watching by just glancing using my peripheral vision, unconsciously the TV show already progressed to a different place.

Fuuto’s character was talking to the brother’s girlfriend.

Fuuto: “I have something to ask you, are you really going to go out with my brother? Ah, sorry for asking such a rude question. I was just so shocked, I apologize. But I…towards you…”

Fuuto’s voice pulled my eyes back to the screen.

Fuuto: “My brother is extremely outstanding, in the past no matter what I did I couldn’t beat him. If we wanted the same thing, my brother would definitely get it and I could only stand there biting my finger and watch silently. Unconsciously I even stopped having these kinds of feelings…”

Fuuto: “But, this is the first time I felt these kinds of emotions. If it’s about you, I definitely don’t want to lose to my brother. I don’t want to give you to my brother. I’m sorry…we only met yesterday, you must be troubled. But I only said it because I can’t help it. For the first time I’ve found something that I want. I think that if I miss this opportunity I’ll never meet anyone that I love more for the rest of my life…”

Iori: “…Amazing.”

Iori said.

Iori: “Fuuto’s improvised dialogue wasn’t cut at all…”

On the screen, Fuuto blended into the character, delivering a lot of improvised dialogue. There were a lot of lines that weren’t in the script.

Just as Iori said, it was just broadcasted as it was.

(Maybe it’s because Fuuto’s acting is too good so the director didn’t have the heart to cut it out.)

Iori: “What are you two doing over there?”

At this time Iori entered the scene.

Fuuto: “…Brother.”

Iori: “I definitely wont give up on her.”

Fuuto: “Brother…”

Iori: “I never wanted to take away anything from you. But I knew kept misunderstanding this. So I always felt sorry towards you.”

(…ah, eh?)

Just like Fuuto’s dialogue just then, Iori’s lines were also changed to improvised dialogue.

Iori: “But, only she is special. I definitely won’t let go of her. So…give up. Ok?”

Fuuto: “I won’t give up.”

Iori: “…Heh”

Fuuto: “I definitely won’t give up, older brother. If you won’t yield to me no matter what, I can only try to snatch her from your hands.”

Iori: “Don’t think those kinds of useless thoughts. Do you understand? This is the only thing I definitely won’t allow even if you’re my younger brother.”

Fuuto: “What if I snatch her away?”

Iori: “…Then bring it on. Understand?”

Fuuto: “Fine…if it’s for her, I’ll bet my whole life on it.”

(Why-why is this dialogue being broadcasted?)

Even though we also filmed the scene with the scripted lines. I thought we would use those takes.

(Besides, this…)

This scene became the start of our love triangle. It made me so embarrassed I couldn’t watch it.

(Hurry up and end.)

While I was thinking this, my cell phone suddenly rang.

(Who is it? Ah, its Fuuto?)

“…Hello?”

Fuuto: “Good evening, Nee-san.”

Fuuto---he’s very different from the Fuuto on screen, it’s the voice of the Fuuto from always.

Fuuto: “Hey hey, did you watch TV?”

“…yes.”

After hearing my answer, he seemed to be really happy.

Fuuto: “It’s not bad right, it’s great that it wasn’t cut out right!?”

“B-but…”

Fuuto: “Aah, are you surprised? That makes sense. But in that scene Iori did pretty well, althought it’s still just at the level of an amateur. But he was able to match my improvised dialogue so I asked the director to leave that scene, I’m able to do that much. Good thing I’m the lead character.”

“I-is that so…”

Fuuto: “But, compared to Iori”

“Huh?”

Fuuto: “The real reason is Nee-san.”

“Eh?”

Fuuto: “You were shot beautifully right?”

“Huh!?”

Fuuto’s voice suddenly became serious.

Fuuto: “That improvised dialogue…wasn’t just lines.”

“Huh? T-that, that is…”

Fuuto: “I definitely won’t give Nee-san to anyone. Even one of my brothers.”

“F-Fuuto!”

I accidently yelled out.

“W-what are you saying…”

Fuuto: “You think…”

Fuuto’s voice also became louder.

Fuuto: “…I’m being serious?”

“Huh?”

Fuuto: “Stupid.”

I heard Fuuto’s laughter coming from the phone.

Fuuto: “Waah! Super self-confident! Really!? You really believed I was serious!?”

(Hmph! Fuuto!)

Fuuto: “So you’re saying, you really believe men will do this for you? Aah aah, you really became spoiled after just a few kind words. I’m hanging up, Princess-sama. Sweet dreams!”

The phone hung up.

(Geez, really!)

I unconsciously hung up the phone.

Iori: “What happened?”

Iori is looking at me with a surprised face.

“Ah, sorry.”

I frantically said.

“That, it was Fuuto.”

Iori: “Fuuto? What did he say?”

“He asked…if I watched the show, and also talked about the improvised dialogue.”

Iori: “Improvised dialogue?”

“He said that they used that scene because Iori responded well.”

Iori: “Oh?”

Iori’s face is a bit awkward.

Iori: “Fuuto said that?”

“Y-yes.”

Iori: “Really?”

Iori is making an unbelievable expression.

Iori: “I thought they would use this scene because you looked really beautiful.”

“Huh!?”

Iori stared at me closely. I felt hot all over.

“A-ah! I’m going to get tea!”

I ran towards the kitchen in a panic.
