"The moon is high in the sky, the night is dark, the stars are spread out across the always expanding cosmos in perfect harmony and the outside is cold while this house is all comfy and shit... All the preparations are met for the ultimate event of the generation!" Joe exclaimed, looking at the night's sky from the living room's window.

"Last time I heard those words, you burned a good chunk of money in a 3D model on a screen. How about you start saving up the money you get from tutoring history and working at Co.? Maybe then we can actually buy the good stuff at the supermarket instead of relying on my paychecks." Ryuuga suggested, standing in front of a large pot on the stove with a black apron around him. 

"Yeah, yeah, just get on with making dinner while I enjoy my free time." Joe puted, tossing himself onto the couch. "Through the power of amazing technology, I have connected the special V-Tuber streaming app on my phone with the TV and will now witness greatness pop up on my TV! Get ready for the descent of one of our kin! A fellow degnerate who has us question her true gender despite the giant badonkas on display!"

"...god has been dead for a very long time." Ryuuga muttering, staring at his cousin with a hopeless stare. "Why did Ryuzaki actually go and invest on a virtual artist streaming app, maybe he could have invested in making decks that don't need promos to live or die." He sighed and stirred the content of the pot. "Go get Hikaru in like five or so minutes, the curry's almost finished."

"Hai, hai. Now! Three! Two! One! Let's go!" Excitedly, Joe turned on the television and the stream began.

The black screen turned into an office room where a 3D model of a girl sat behind a desk appeared. The model of the girl had white hair that reached the end of her neck, bangs that covered her forever and a red headband with a green jewel in the center, covered in golden details, and emerald eyes; she wore a white shirt with a red tie that had another green jewel in its center, a red and grey high waisted pleated skirt that began right under her large breasts and went all the way to her knees, black tights and golden boots.

"Huh, she kinda looks as if Perfect Raizer got turned into an anime girl and has some really good thighs- No, I'm not jumping into that rabbit hole, I'm not losing like Abbacchio did!" Ryuuga exclaimed, slapping himself twice.

"You don't know how to live, loser! Now shut up, it's Kagayaki Reiza appreciation time!"

"Kagayaki... Reiza... So Shiny Reiza? That sounds familiar." Ryuuga muttered.

"Alright my fellow weebs, let's not waste time with introductions, it's a beautiful tuesday evening, meaning it's time for Reiza's Lewd Fanart Appreciation stream!"

"Are you for real?!" Ryuuga asked, peeking into the living room. "Holy shit, she's actually reviewing porn of herself!"

"Ryuzaki's app is so great for the single fact it allows lewd content to be shown meaning the artist can review their lewds! Such man of revolution, he's the greatest!"

"Yooooo a fellow weeb just sent me some good cash for a big tiddy anime figure. Hey JoeMoney, I'll get one of the good ones in your sake. Appreciate the sauce, my guy."

"She has a really tomboyish way of talk- JoeMoney?! Did you waste money on her again?!" Ryuuga asked. "Unbelieveable! Dammit, just go get Hikaru for us to have dinner!"

"You don't get to judge my life choices, only my parents and Alan can do it!" Joe exclaimed, passing the stream from the television back to his phone and walking out of the house.

With his eyes fixated on the stream playing in his phone, Joe barged onto the apartment next to his and Ryuuga's, previously used by Kaido and Emma, but now where Hikaru lived because of them returning to GEN. He walked into the living room, where Hikaru had set up a desk with his computer.

"Damn lag. Dinner's ready so let's get going." Joe said, not moving his eyes from the screen.

"Oh shit, food's ready? Alright you weebs, gonna switch to pause mode while I go get some food. More lewd appreciation after dinner." Hikaru said, typing in his keyboard.

"Hey wait a sec." Joe lifted his gaze. "What did you just-"

"Oh shit, food's ready? Alright you weebs, gonna switch to pause mode while I go get some food. More lewd appreciation after dinner." The 3D girl on Joe's screen said before the image changed into 8-bit version of Reiza piloting a mech and punching some asteroids in space.

"N-n-no..." Joe muttered, his palms getting sweaty, knees becoming weak and arms growing heavy.

"Yoooo, your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, mom's spaghetti! Thanks for the cash my dude, I'mma get a figurine version of Strelzia! Curry time!!!" Hikaru happily exclaimed as he left the apartment.

"N-n-n-n-no... Ah... A-ah...." Joe fell to his knees and slammed his clenched fists against the hardwood floor, gritting his teeth. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"So it was you, huh? Damn, that's some fine 3D designing skills. Never thought Perfect Raizer would be that hot as an anime girl." Ryuuga commented, standing in front of his apartment's door.

"I told you I'd get a job, didn't I? Big brain science college ain't gonna pay for itself, am I right?" Hikaru chuckled with a cheeky grin. "All I had to do was get Gin's skills to make a thicc and plump anime girl and boom, job done!"

"A very good craftsmanship. I applaud." Ryuuga clapped his hands twice. "But the design and the name made me realize it right away. I heard Joe was into some virtual gal on Ryuzaki's app but I never actually saw her. The lewds though."

"I have a pretty dandy fanbase, my guy. You should see the doujins, I have more sauce numbers to my name than shiny cards!" Hikaru laughed.

"Maybe now that he knows it's you, he'll save up his money instead of burning through it like a clown!" Ryuuga laughed aswell.

"My life... Is finished... How am I supposed to appreciate the lewds with Yuri if I know who's actually behind them..." Joe muttered, crawling out of the apartment.

"Yikes dawg, you actually saw my lewds with your GF? Damn, me and Strelzia only read other doujins, not mine. Gotta appreciate a fan."

"What he lacks in brain cells he has in dedication. Well then, curry?" Ryuuga asked.

"Hell yeah!" Hikaru cheered.

(Opening)

"My existence is a lie, a poor excuse, we all exist to just... Be betrayed by those we love, those we look up to, for all humans are nothing but weak twigs broken by the pressure of feelings' hands..." Joe sung in mutters, his head burried into the pillows of the couch.

"Geez, stop being such a crybaby and get your ass up. We'll be late to school at this point." Ryuuga sighed, closing a black bento set next to two others. "Chop chop or I'll eat your lunch!"

"Alright, alright..." Joe cried, weakly getting back on this feet.

"And don't forget your shinai, we have club today."

"You're the worst..."

"Yahello, fellow men of culture!" Hikaru greeted, barging into the apartment like he owned it.

"GO TO HEEEEEEEEEELL!!!" Joe exclaimed, running back to his room.

"Yikes. I see he handled it well." Hikaru chuckled. "What we havin' for lunch?"

"I fried some of the rice left from yesterday's dinner. Don't worry, I added extra MSG to yours like usual." Ryuuga said, giving Hikaru his bento.

"Hell yeah, everything a young boy like me needs to grow into a strong man! So, we goin' to class or what? Hinata finna kill my ass if I get late again, have you seen how pointy 'em heels are? I pity the man to get stepped on by her."

"Imagine getting stepped on by Hinata for being in the same team as the guy who lied to Taira about her name. Couldn't be me." Ryuuga let out a despair-soaked chuckle.

"Point to the human body drawing where she hurt you." Hikaru said, opening his notebook.

"I don't want to talk about it, the Magallanica event didn't happen."

Ryuuga, Joe and Hikaru wallked through the streets, crossing paths with other students going to their schools and adults going to their work places. While Ryuuga and Hikaru walked ahead, a slightly less saddened Joe walked behind the two, he and his cousin carrying covered shines on their backs.

"So what's up with the morning wood swords?" Hikaru asked. "You guys in kendo or something? Do you even have the time for that?"

"Eh, I learned how to dump some fo my crap onto Murata as payment for how he cucked for almost half the year." Ryuuga shrugged. "And I'm glad you asked, because I've been waiting to hype about it for ages! We're not in a kendo club, we're in the Adapted Kendo Club, which we started when school began!"

"Oh no, he's going at it again." Joe sighed.

"You might be thinking, what is the Adapted Kendo Club?"

"It seriously sounds like kendo with extra steps but please, enlighten me."

"Yes but actually no! In Adapted Kendo, we ditch most of the formalities and a good chunk of the protective gear in exchange for creativity and mobility!" Ryuuga exclaimed, is eyes glimmering with excitement.

"So just breakdancing with bamboo swords?"

"He binged that one samurai show from some decades ago instead of studying for a quiz and had an epiphany. It's basically weeb kendo. The nerds are in it to flex the sword moves they learned from watching anime instead of socializing, the dance people are there to mix prop usage with their moves and then there's the parkouring Ryuuga doing parkouring Ryuuga things." Joe explained.

"How'd you get roped into it?"

"Because I binged the show too instead of studying, baby! Screw math, we have Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai!"

"Isn't that two series?"

"We had two quizes." Ryuuga answered.

"Oh wow, I suddenly feel like my bain is the bigger one in this trio, I don't know how to feel about it."

"Man, fuck you."

Hikaru grinned and looked back at Joe. "Bet your cousin would! Imagine falling for a virtual girl reviewng her lewds, what a nerd!"

"Damn you, Hikaru!" Joe exclaimed.

"Alright my fellow weebs, let's not waste time, it's me, Kagayaki Reiza!" Hikaru laughed.

"DAMN YOU!!!" Joe roared, grabbing Hikaru by his shoulders.

"Don't make me scream like an anime girl, you know I got the man balls to do it- Oh hey, it's Kaminari!" Hikaru said, waving at a passing car. "Ain't he the best? He drives Hisano to school every day since he lives close to her and even gives Renji a ride since they're neighbours. What a lad."

"Didn't he spent the week at the Royalty House in Fukushima?" Ryuuga asked.

"Didn't you have a car too?" Joe asked.

"Yeah but being Bruno's roommate is its own circle of hell of he went back to living with his parents. Now hearing the sound of aesthetic artwork at two in the morn is Joshu's job. And yeah, I had a car, but who needs a car when you can walk?"

"You lost your power to flex on those who failed their driver's test since we got our licenses during summer." Ryuuga said with a smug.

"Who told you you could pass?! How did you even pass, your driving is a danger to the japanese population!"

"I am a jack fo all trades, master of none."

"All trades in quotation marks, master of none is caps lock since it's true." Joe snickered.

"You're making dinner tonight."

"Ah goddammit!"

"Wait, if Kaminari is taking Hisano and Renji to Hagiwara, and he's heading on the opposite way to us, doesn't that mean you're going the wrong direction?"

"...hm?" Hikaru blinked and began running in the opposite direction than the cousins. "AH GODDAMMIT HINATA IS GONNA KILL ME IF I GET LATE AGAIN, I DON'T WANNA BE STEPPED BY A SHARP HEEL OR A GIRL THAT ISN'T STRELZIA, I'LL SEE YOU TWO LATER!"

"Imagine getting late. Couldn't be-"

"We have ten minutes." Ryuuga said, looking at his phone.

"GAS GAS GAS!"

"WE MADE IT IN TIME!" Ryuuga and Joe yelled as they crossed the gates of Heiwa, falling on the floor right after due to the exhaustion from the run they made there. They had ten minutes, Heiwa was twenty minutes away.

"I don't wanna get up ever again, I wanna be one with the floor and not move..." Joe sulked.

"We somehow made it... And I can still swing by the council room... Another successful operation..." Ryuuga coughed as he got up weakly, coming face to face with someone that made him fall back. "W-what the-?!"

"Hello hello, president!" Aijou greeted. "I'm so happy you two made it in time, there's a surprise for you at the council room so get up and let's go!!"

"A present from you, huh... Yeah, that sounds too fishy for my liking."

"Floor good... Low positioning allows me to see some white panties..." Joe muttered.

"If you get up, I'll make you my floor." Yuri said, crouching in front of Joe. "Are you interested in that?"

"....perhaps...."

"Damn teenagers who are dating and go to the same school." Aijou pouted.

"Damn teenagers who are dating in general." Ryuuga pouted aswell.

"Anyway, get up and let's get a move on! I promise that a great surprise is coming for you! You just have to-"

"I'm not moving, Aijou."

Aijou grabbed Ryuuga by hair and began dragging him like a dog. "Did I say you had a choice?"

"O-o-okay, I'll go!" Ryuuga cried.

"Whatever is behind these doors can't be that bad, right... Right...?" Ryuuga muttered to himself, staring at the closed doors of the student council room. He sighed and opened the door, walking into something that shocked. "Wha-"

Standing in the middle of the room were two new students. The shorter one had replaced his usual pulled back hair style with letting it flow naturally and now wore glasses with green frames, while the taller one now had his hair tied to show off the two scars across his face proudly.

"So, I heard you wanted some electrifying members for the electronics club. I happen to know a guy who has a couple of spare big metal piston spikes at home." The shorter one said, flicking up his glasses with a smirk.

"How do you do, fellow youths?" The taller one asked. "Me and my homie are joining the second year."

"Wha... Wha... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO SHITBAGS DOING HERE?! GET OUT!" Ryuuga commanded.

"BEEP BEEP YOU SAD FUCK!" Gin and Masato laughed.

"How?! Why?! I know we're friends but what part of me made you think I'd want you two here?! I have enough problems! Weren't you older than me and being home schooled?!" Ryuuga asked, looking at Masato.

"Nah, same age as you. Already had stuff from being homeschooled so getting in here was pretty easy." Masato explained.

"And what about you?! You already finished colleged and are a working man!"

"My second year experience was ruined so now I'm going at it again." Gin explained.

"B-b-but! B-b-but! B-b-but how?!"

"Kaido has a juicy wallet. He also paid me to carry this around." Masato said, taking out a tablet from his schoolbag that he gave to Ryuuga.

"The hell is this?" Ryuuga turned it on the first thing to appear was Kaido's face.

"Surprise sucker, it's me! I paid Masato carry a table to videochat at any time! I'm Tablet Kaido!"

"...but why?"

"Why? Because I'm awesome, that's why!"

"Wait, isn't that Mitsuba on the background? Where are you?"

"On his classroom, I came to say hi to him and Yukimura."

"Hmmmmm."

"I swear."

"Who is that blonde guy behind you?"

"...ANYWAY! Yeah I paid for those three to get into Heiwa. My money speaks volumes. Anyway, bye bye!"

"Wait don't leave it at that! What you mean pay those three?!" Ryuuga asked to the already turned off tablet. "What did he mean pay those three?! Who else came with you?!"

"Geez, relax a bit, will you?" Fujiko sighed.

"I don't see any issue with them being here. Maybe now that Masato is here, Joe and Yuri will calm down a bit." Abbacchio suggested.

"Nah fam, they didn't had manners in my own house." Masato shook his head.

"I believe this will be an interesting learning experience. I hope to join the boxing, it may rekindle my passion for the sport. Ah yes, I'll start by taking on the current club captain and take over as-"

"President, I have the paperworks from the boxing club I started when school started!" Hanae said, standing in front of the open. "Oh, masters Gin and Masato, what a surprise."

"Of course she's the captain..." Gin sulked.

"There, there." Masato said, patting Gin on the back. "I'm sure you'll one day be victorious against her. And one day, I'll be victorious against her too, if you know what I mean."

"That's gross, you don't have any chances with her." Aijou said.

"Wanna bet? Name your price."

"You lose, you buy me a house."

"You lose, you name your first born kid Ichijou regardless of gender or if Ichigo's the father."

"Deal." Aijou nodded.

"Yeah yeah, just leave them on the table, I'll look at them during lunch." Ryuuga said. "Anyway, the third person? Who could he have-"

"Get in here, Homura!" Hanae said, forcefully pulling Homura into the room. "It was her!"

"Huh..." Ryuuga looked back at froze.

"H-hi..." Homura muttered, crossing her arms and looking away. "C-can we leave now... This uniform is a bit..."

"Not my fault the biggest size was Aijou size and you need an Aijou size 2." Hanae giggled, placing down the boxing club's papers on the desk. "Let's go the class, Homura! We're in the same as president!"

Ryuuga just stared at the door as the two left the room before getting back to his senses. "A-anway, who did-"

"You really want to play dumb?" Gin asked.

"No, I saw her too..."

"Oh this must be so awkward for you. You two set out the goal of ending summer by knowing if you'd be ready to date or not and all you did was be tsunderes about it. Nothing really changed and you two still aren't together, how awkward it must be." Masato snickered.

"Shut up..."

"Twelve episodes of romcom for the first season to end with them still not together. Only a clown would pay for that show to be producted, but I was the entire circus and was the whole studio too." Kaido said.

"Does this just turn on and off by itself?" Fujiko asked, looking at the tablet. "Hey Kaido, there's the a white haired girl standing behind you."

"If I stand still enough she might not see me, that's how people in Russia avoid the pollar bears."

"Don't be that mean to Rossiya, you're both class reps!" Sakate complained.

"My day was going perfectly until you voiced your opinion, dammit Sakate!"

"Hmmmm." Fujiko grabbed the tablet and turned the sound off. "There, much better."

"My high school life was restarting so nicely... And then bam... It just up and... Does this because Kaido exists... Why does he exist..." Ryuuga muttered, stumbling back until he landed on one ofthe couches in the room. "Why..."

"Maybe this is a sign that you should man up, grow a pair and go face what's coming for you. No one told you two to avoid having that discussion. It'll happen one day sooner or later, so just man up and go take care of it already." Gin explained.

"You're weirdly wise." Abbacchio commented.

"Thanks, I am a fan of the mentor character in anime."

"Is any of them still alive?"

"It's a mentor character, what do you think?"

"Ah... What am I gonna do..." Ryuuga sulked.

"Go to class, we're almost late." Fujiko said.

"AH COME ON!"

"You know when summer ends and school restarts and you're all like 'Oh I wished we were still in the summer!'? Yeah, I don't think I'd appreciate being back in the summer." Ryuuga deadpanned.

On the student council room during lunch break, while Aijou, Fujiko, Abbacchio, Joe and Yuri sat on the right set of couches eating, Ryuuga sat on the left one with Gin and Masato sitting across him and Kaido's tablet turned on to show him eating aswell.

"Stop being a bitch and enjoy your lunch, Aijou spent her precious time teaching you how to make edible food for a reason." Kaido said.

"Damn right I did!" Aijou exclaimed.

"I got me some tasty cuisine right here. Never thought Yuri was this good of a chef." Masato said, munching on some fish. "Oh yeah, this beats Ryuuga's lousy cooking."

"You mean excuse of a meal." Gin laughed, holding a cafeteria-bought yakisoba bun. "I have to admit, the yakisoba buns here are better than I expected."

"Gah, I can't eat like this. I might aswell get my paperwork sorted out for once and not dump it all on Murata." Ryuuga sighed and closed his bento.

"Why though? Shitter dropped all the shit on you, so drop all his shit back on him." Joe said.

"Yeah, yeah, but I still have an image to uphold. Not a very big one but beggars can't be choosers." Ryuuga replied, taking a seat behind his desk and looking through a small pile of papers. "The boxing club seems to be going well. What's next? Hm, the cooking club, I heard they got some new members and- I think I'm going out for a walk." He palced the papers down and rushed out of the room.

"What got into him?" Kaido asked.

"Homura's on the cooking club and he was planning on joining at some point to better his skills." Fujiko explained.

"Hmmm? He wanted to learn from someone other than me? Nah, that's impossible, he'd never betray me like that, hehe!" Aijou giggled.

"Though her smile seems happy, her eyes show only a reflection of the artic's cold. In another words, she's pissed as all hell." Abbacchio commented.

"Spoken like a true future mangaka." Joe nodded.

"You two still haven't talked about it?" Hanae asked.

"Yeah..." Homura nodded.

Hanae and Homura sat in a hidden area on the school's rooftop, where there was enough shadow to cover them from the sun, having their lunch.

"Hm, I do remember master Kai- Kaido saying that the plan would be to have you two in this 'more than friend less than lover' limbo during summer and then make your choice when summer ended, but you two never actually talked it out?"

"What do you think... Geez, and now that I'm in Heiwa too I just can't bring myself to approach him because of that!" Homura said, digging her face into her palms.

"I see what he meant by the mutual tsundere part more than ever now. Well, you can't escape from it for more than you want to. You already finished up everything back at Fukushima. You're not the Queen anymore or part of their Vanguard course so now you're stuck at Heiwa and that's that. You two can keep trying to avoid it, but it'll eventually happen. You both are just scared from what the other has to say. If Ryuuga's answer is no, then you'll be stuck at Heiwa for another year and so, seeing him almost every day and suffering for it, and if you say no, he'll have to start doing the same. The president seemed to be on a perfect mood lately, but now that you're here, he knows he can't run from it anymore. The more you two keep procrastinating, the worse the outcome will be. So just get on with it and have the talk. Be done with it, easy peasy. Might aswell knock this thing out of the park right away and accept the outcome than to drag it out until both sides just get sick of it."

"You're right on that no part... I'm not ready for that chance. I just kept ignoring it over and over again during this whole proccess of changing schools. I kept ignoring that Ryuuga could reject because of how good summer was. Summer was so perfect, everything went so well, all that was good happened... And then here we are, back at square one! Geez, this sucks!!!"

"Oh wow, I remember that time most of half the school ran after Ryuuga in anger and than had to run away from you and Fukushima. If you told me that the angry yelling Homura would turn into some tsundere gal in a school uniform, I'd call you a dingus!" Hanae giggled.

"S-shut up! Geez, when's the school gonna be done with my uniform?! Your spare uniform is too small!"

"Well not my fault puberty was kinder to you than to me! It could be worse, you could have gotten one of Fujiko's spare uniforms! Next time you'll come in your maid outfit!"

Homura placed her finger in front of Hanae's lips to shut her up. "Shhhhhhhhh! Not even one word about Arsene in this place or else I'll join that weeb kendo club and have my revenge on you!"

"Funny you say that since the president is the club's leader." Hanae said, followed by another giggle.

"H-he is?! Ah, geez!!"

Late in the afternoon, after classes had finished and club activities began, Joe and Abbachio ran around inside the school's gymnasium, jumping over random objects they found on the floor. More students were there, practising their kendo skills through normal methods or, like Abbacchio and Joe, just running around and being creative with their moves.

"Parkour! You slayed my father, your fate is sealed by my blade's edge!" Joe exclaimed, leaping over a small gym bag on the floor.

"Parkour! I shall keep slaying your clan until its blood is purified for the sake of our lord, the shogunate!" Abbacchio replied, jumping onto a pile of gym mattresses.

"Parkour! You still took away the life of my father, his mighty vitality is gone by your blood-stained hands! Prepare to be slain, foreigner ronin Abbacchiomaru!" Joe took a final leap onto another pile of mattresses and got into stance, holding his shinai high.

"Parkour! Come and met your demise, son of Kyoto, Banjoemaru!" Abbacchio declared, lifting his shinai. "Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"There's a thin line between creative and a full on out weeb." Ryuuga sighed, watching over the two friends from the stands on the gymnasium.

"Tired? I got some water." Hanae said, sitting next to Ryuuga.

"Yeah, those two tricked me into falling on the floor. Stupid bastards." Ryuuga replied, taking a sip. "Ah, much better. I ain't taking the role of clan head next time with those bastards."

"Maybe you could have avoided their trickery if you weren't so distracted by something else." Hanae giggled.

"What do you think? You saw her, I saw her, everyone who was there saw her." Ryuuga sighed and crossed his arms. "You're the smart one here, Hanae! You've been helping me out the whole summer, tell me what to do in this case!"

"Get some balls, bro." Hanae said bluntly.

"W-what the-?!"

"Yeah homie, grow some balls go get the girl, bro."

"What is up with that talk?! What do you mean?!"

"You're really a dumb dumb, president." Hanae sighed, but then giggled. "Many things happen during the summer, enough things to make you understand what you want. So just go and get them. Grow the balls of courage you need to face Homura and give her your answer. Imagine your heart ate alot and throw up your true feelings. In another words, put an end to this game of tsundere and tsundere. Give her your answer, Ryuuga!"

"You're right!" Ryuuga got up and froze.

"President?" Hanae titled her head. "Master Ryuuga? Did you sudden burst of courage end when you got up?"

"M-mayhaps..."

"Ah, what would be of you without me?" Hanae sighed and got up. With a crack of her knuckles, Ryuuga was running away already. "That never fails."

"Ryuuga?" Joe said, watching his cousin run out of the gymnasium. "Pack your stuff Abbacchio, we're going on marathon!"

"Understood!"

"This sucks! They kicked me out of the electronics club just because my big metal piston spike taser tasered the teacher! This is some bullshit!" Masato complained, walking by Gin's side on the hallway.

"Maybe next time avoid being an idiot that just tases whatever is in front of him. Electronics can do more than shock people." Gin replied.

"But they're called electronics, as in electrify!"

"Get out of my way!" Ryuuga commanded, running past the two.

"What the damn hell?!"

"Shut up, Masato! We're on the run!" Abbacchio exclaimed, running past the duo with Joe and Hanae.

"I heard they did this before the Tokyo's Finest! Let's go!" Gin tossed Masato over his shoulder and turned on Kaido's tablet.

"What? What's happening? Why did you call- Why are you in Gin's shoulder again?!"

"No time to explain, we're running after Ryuuga!" Gin exclaimed.

(Play the media)

"You guys wanna go get a smoothie on the way to Hage? I need something cold after all that effort I put into PE today. My legs are killing me..." Aijou sighed, closing her locker.

"I'm up for it. My back is killing me after all that running." Yuri replied.

"Haha, you two are flexing your thick parts on me again..." Fujiko sweatdropped. "Why wouldn't my legs be thick instead of long..."

"There, there." Homura said, patting Fujiko's back. "You still have some years to grow."

"That doesn't help!"

"HOMURA!" Ryuuga yelled, approaching the lockers in a dash.

"W-what the-?! WHAT THE-?!" Shocked by the crowd running behind Ryuuga, Homura turned around and began running away.

"OH COME ON! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?!" Ryuuga shouted. "GIN! DO THE THING!"

"UNDERSTOOD!" Gin replied, passing the tablet to Masato. He reached out for Ryuuga, lifting him off the ground by his collar. Focusing all his strength onto his right arm, he hurled his friends forward.

"HOMURA!" Ryuuga called out from the top of his lungs, falling face first onto the floor and rolling enough to go past her. 

"Y-you idiot, you'll get hurt if you keep doing that!" Homura exclaimed, stopping in front of him. "What kind of moron asks his friend to hurl him through the air?!"

"Ehe... This kind... Of moron..." Ryuuga coughed, looking up at Homura with a grin despite bleeding from his forehead as he got up. "I've made up my mind! My answer... I don't want to become your boyfriend!"

"AH?!" Hikaru expressed, standing in front of the school gates.

"What do you mean with that?! Don't make all my effort during summer go to waste, you wasteman!" Kaido exclaimed.

"I-i..." Homura muttered, clenching her fist with her teeth gritted.

"Just give it a rest, you dumbasses! I'm not finished!" Ryuuga declared. "I don't want to become your boyfriend because that just isn't enough! I don't want a temporary thing that can end at any moment over anything! A high school fling isn't what I'm seeing! I finally understand what you meant on that night at the beach, that generic dream most girls had when they were little!"

"R-ryuuga..."

"The only future I want for myself is a future where you're with me!" Ryuuga looked at his surroundings, his eyes falling on a small dandelion growing on the grass next to the path leading from the gates to the main building's entrance. He quickly ran off to get it, then returned to where he was. "So I'll give you all of it! I'll give you all of my future to make that dream come true! Homura Saki, I'll make that childhood dream of yours come true! So please!"

In an action that shocked all those watching him, and that would shock all that heard of what he did, Ryuuga took a knee before Homura, and with his left hand, he reached for her with the dandelion he grabbed.

"No matter how many years I have to wait, no matter how much I have to fight for it! Become my wife!" Ryuuga declared, looking down after running out of breath because of all he said.

"Yeah..."

"Huh?!" Ryuuga looked up, but instead of seeing Homura, he felt a warm feeling around his neck.

With her arms around Ryuuga's neck, Homura struggled to hold back her tears. "Yeah... I'll become your wife!"

And then, four years passed. March of 2052 arrived.

(Ending)

Next Time-

#60: My Future with You

----------------------------------------

MINI SOUL: "Packing up"

Ryuuga: Man, I'm gonna miss this studio. Alot of weird and questionable sketches happened here, didn't they?

Ryuzaki: Yup. But all good things come to an end, don't they?

Ryuuga: I guess so. So whaddya say? A final Mini Soul for the ages?

Ryuzaki: Sure, why not! Welcome to Mini Soul!

Ryuuga: *pushed Ryuzaki into a box and tapes it shut* You're Takanori's problem now, ehue.

Ryuzaki: WAIT IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS, THE CANON END FOR MINI SOUL RYUZAKI CAN'T BE SHIPPED OFF TO YUUTO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Ryuuga: Hey everyone! Thanks for your support during our little chibi segment Mini Soul! I hope you enjoyed reading these as we enjoyed making them! Bye now!

Ryuzaki: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

-----

Kaido: ...she said yes.

Emma: She did.

Kaido: She technicaly said yes before you.

Emma: I guess so.

Ryuuga: What're you gonna do now, Kaido? Gonna cry about me getting married before you? The story says four years passed, you'll probably still be in college by then.

Kaido: ...EMMA WE'RE BRIBING THE UNIVERSITY GUYS!

Emma: Yay!

Hikaru: What is up my fellow degenerates, it's Kagayaki Reiza!

Joe: I hope you you burn in hell!

Ryuuga: Damn dude, it's too wholesome... I'm not ready to be finished! :aquacry:

Hi there, author-san here. How you doing?

Well then, this is the last Author's Note on the actual story, I'll be making a separate one after the last chapter to close everything out, going over a few stuff there and announcing what I'll be doing next and stuff. Anyway, yikes. That's it. The final chapter set in 2048. The next chapter is happening four years after the Ryuuga's proposal so you can probably guess what will go down on there. I'll be real with you, I'm feeling alot of things. I'm tired after two years of writing ''weekly'', I'm happy for all the support, I'm excited about what comes next, I'm shocked that Spiral Soul is probably ending before Z World, if you know the meme you know. And yeah, that's all I had to say here, anything will be addressed on the big final AN after the last chapter. It's currently October 17th, #57 will be coming out in a few hours and then on the 25th will be #58. I wanna try and publish the final chapter on the 29th so this chapter will probably be coming out around the 27th or something. I just wanna finish this series on my birthday.

My name is Shida, thanks for reading and I will you see on that final Author's Note. Bye bye!
