Playing with Fire

Part 1 (ft. Riddle and Silver) I Part 2 (ft. Trey and Kalim) I Part 3 (ft. Jade and Lilia) I Part 4 (ft. Deuce and Jamil) I Part 5 (ft. Malleus and Ruggie) | Part 6 (ft. Cater and Rook) | Part 7 (ft. Sebek and Floyd)

In which Gordon Ramsay-kun is isekai’d into Twisted Wonderland. Part Food Wars, part Hell’s Kitchen, all Master Chef—Night Raven College isn’t ready to take on this Michelin Star celebrity!!

As the age-old saying goes, “if you play with fire, be prepared to get burned”! Will Idia and Ace be able to withstand the chef forged in the flames of hell’s kitchen?

asdhbasildsb PRETEND LIKE THIS ISN'T BEING PUT OUT AFTER THE EVENT 😭 (At least I'm all caught up on Master Chefs now...)

Imagine this…

"Alright, let's start cookin'!"

"HOLD IT!! Where do you think you’re going, Trappola?!”

"Gack!" Ace felt himself being yanked back by the collar, forcing the air out of him. The Ramshackle Prefect had him in a formidable grip—one rivaling that of Riddle's iron fist. "What's the big deal, stoppin' a guy from makin' a meal?"

A drawn-out sigh came from behind Gordon. “Fwehehe… Leave it to Ace-shi to solo-rush the boss battle… He's the type to button mash to skip past the tutorial and jump straight into things."

Annoyance surged up, and Ace spat out his heated words. "Oi, can it! Least I'm not shaking in my boots before getting anywhere NEAR the kitchen!"

“Not looking like that you aren’t.” Gordon flicked the first year’s chef’s hat, setting it askew. “Fix your hair! We don’t want any of it getting into the food.”

“Yeees, sir,” Ace groaned with an eye roll.

Gordon glanced at Idia, taking in the few hair clips he had scrounged up to clip his bangs back.

“You, Shroud!” Gordon snapped at him. “All your hair’s got to go up.”

“E-Eh…? All of it? B-But Ace-shi doesn’t have to! Th-This is gamer discrimination!!”

“Are your ears not working? Yes, I said ALL of it.” Gordon pointed to the blue flames that sprouted from the dorm leader’s scalp. “It has nothing to do with your hobbies, you’re a walking fire hazard!! What’s going to happen when a drop of oil hits you?”

“B-But my hair doesn’t even behave like regular fire does…” Idia mumbled, earning a glare from his instructor. “E-Eeep!! I-I got it, I’ll do it already!!”

“Oh, how the tables turn,” Ace sniggered as he secured the last of his bangs. The rest of his hair was too short to maneuver under his hat, spiking out on either side of his head.

“Alright, I’m gonna go ahead! Smell ya later, senpai!” He threw a wink and a wave at Idia before prancing into the kitchen.

The cheek and cheer made Idia cringe. What little motivation he had for this class wilted down to cinders.

He sniffed and mournfully did away with his hair, tucking every last bit of blue out of sight. When he at last dragged himself to the kitchen entryway, he hesitated on stepping through.

Haunting memories plagued his mind—the booming demands, the door being bashed down with fists and frying pans. Two monstrous men hovering above him as he cowered in a ball. The darkly easygoing expression on Floyd, Sebek in an imposing, militant stance, glaring down at him.

“Oi, Firefly Squid-senpai. This all the noodles you got? You’d better tell the truth or else Crocodile-chan and I will squeeze you senseless~”

Idia's fingers trembled terribly at the thought. Clamminess collected on his palms. The room seemed to spin

Gordon materialized by his frozen student's side.

“In you go then!” He gave a firm smack on Idia’s back, propelling him stumbling forward.

Ace, already at his station, looked up from inspecting bell peppers. A rainbow of red, orange, yellow, and green filled several baskets-but when he saw Idia, the peppers’ bright colors paled to Ace's massive grin.

“BAHAHAHAHAH!!” The first year keeled over, unable to contain his laughter. One arm cradled his stomach to keep himself from collapsing, the other pointing a knife at his upperclassman. “YOU TOTALLY LOOK BALD!!"

Idia flushed, shrinking into his chef's uniform. Were his hair visible, the flames would have, no doubt, been tinged pink with embarrassment.

"S-Sure, go for the low blow and pick on the guy whose character looks like crap in the event exclusive armor... This is why I wanted to send my tablet for this course instead of coming in person!!"

"Not bloody likely."

Idia stiffened at their instructor's voice, and the sharp clap that followed it. The sound echoed like static tracing along his scalp. His culinary nightmares had only just begun.

"If you've got the time to fuck around, you have time to cook. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, you two!"

Gordon Ramsay made sure to plant himself squarely between Ace and Idia's work benches. Knowing what chaos the kitchen grounds could breed, he didn't want to take any chances by leaving either or unsupervised. Not again, not after so many sessions with NRC's various problem children.

Chop, chop, chop...

"Groan..."

How many times have I taught this course by now? Gordon mused to himself, dragging a hand over his face. The horrors he had witnessed brought back the beginnings of a migraine, the slow simmer of rage.

Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop...

"Groooan..."

They aren't all bad kids, he thought. Some were just misunderstood, overeager, or lacking the technical abilities. Patience, Gordon, patience. They're children. They have plenty of room to grow.

Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop…

"GROOOOOOOOOOAN!!

He snapped.

“… Trappola, your task is to cut the bell peppers, not to complain as you do it!!" Gordon bellowed with a huff.

"But teeeach," Ace whined, "there's so many veggies!! Why do I have to be the one to chop them all, anyway? Just cuz it's easy doesn't mean I like doing this, y'know!! My hand hurts, it's totally cramping!"

"You have the talent to make them the same size and shape. That will help the peppers cook more evenly once we throw them on the heat." Gordon pointed to another basket full of peppers. "So suck it up!"

“Can’t you make Idia-senpai split this work?! He’s barely doing anything on his own anyway, and a cute little underclassman like me sure could use the extra helping hand!”

Gordon deadpanned.

“What?! I am cute,” Ace insisted, “and I wasn’t joking about wanting that helping hand.”

“And you’re not getting it.”

"Uggggh, fiiiiine.”

Ace unenthusiastically returned to his chopping board. As he brought his knife down, bisecting a crimson pepper, his expression lightened with a realization. “Hey, you know what? With so many peppers lying around, I could cram an extra helping of it into Deuce’s portion!!”

Gordon frowned. “… Is that seriously what’s motivating you?”

“Haha, yup 🎵”

What a fast turnaround. Perked right up.

“All I need now’s a dish that’s easy to hide peppers in! What should I go with? A soup? Stir fry? Oh, ooor I could do an omelet—the ultimate betrayal!” He snickered in a self-congratulatory manner. “Deuce won’t ever know what hit him!!”

The master chef heaved a sigh and glanced at Idia’s station, leaving Ace to his mise en place. “And how are you doing over there, Shroud?”

Idia jumped at the mention of his name. His fingers, sticky and (aptly) peppered with pepper seeds, were fumbling with measuring spoons.

"I-I'm fine..."

"Well, what's taking you so long? In the same time Trappola's knocked out a few crates, you've been standing around twiddlin' your thumbs."

"S-So what if my stat growth is a little slower than Ace-shi's?! Cut me some slack here, this process couldn't be more inefficient if it tried!!"

Idia furiously shook his head. "It'd all be done by now if I had a machine to throw together a meal... instead, I have to tediously measure spices by hand and deal with this stuffy place. These steps could all be automated."

Gordon snorted, unimpressed with the dour attitude. "If everything were automated, you'd be putting a lot of people out of their passions."

"Jobs," Idia corrected. "You mean their jobs."

"No, I mean their passions," Gordon shot back. "A fire burns because it has fuel, and passions exist because of the spirit behind them. That's something no A.I. could replicate."

"Hihihihi..." A smug, challenging smile emerged on Idia's blue lips. "Try telling that to Ortho. Bet he could perfectly recreate any recipe you throw at him in record time. Think you could honestly take him? Heh, bring it."

“You certainly changed your tone quickly—but if you can talk like that about your own creation, then I’d better see that same energy in your dish.” The closest pan was gripped and handed to a slack-jawed Idia.

“B-B-But…!!”

“Let’s see you put your money where your mouth is.”

Gordon was already at the stove, cranking up the heat. A circle of flames erupted from the burner. In the glow of the fire, Gordon appeared not human, but like a demon chef from hell.

“I-I wasn’t built for this!!” Idia wailed in protest, only to have a spatula at him.

His instructor’s response was blunt and full of snark. “Perfect opportunity for you to ‘get good’, then. There’s no teacher like experience.”

Idia struggled to produce a counter argument—but his mind was moving fasting than his body. Gordon had seized the arm with the pan by the wrist and guided it to the stove, adding a splash of oil to it. The third year flinched as heat crept onto his skin.

“Peppers in, and cook until tender!!” Gordon ordered. "If you can’t take this much, you won't last long in my kitchen!"

Idia fearfully obeyed, tossing in a few of the peppers he had just washed. The water droplets crackled upon contact, and—

Crackle, sssszzzt, POP!!

“E-EEEEEEeeEEeEP!!” Idia launched back, dodging the flecks of hot oil that sprayed at him. Cook until tender? The apprentice chef would be tenderized sooner than the vegetables would!

“Hoo, boy. This is gonna be a looong class,” Ace muttered from his station. "Dude has no chill at all..."

“Haven’t I suffered enough?! J-Just put me out of my misery alreadyyyy!!”

“We’ve only just started, boys!!” Gordon barked. There was no mistaking the blazing passion in his composure and in his eyes. “Put your backs into it!! I’ll make men out of you yet!!”

Harukawa Sora FS2 4*: Way of the Finishing Move

Sora: HuHu~! This achievement is only possible thanks to everyone here at SHIN. Sora can call himself a Finishing Move Master now~ ♪

Scenario Writer: Kanata Haruka Season: Winter Characters: Harukawa Sora, Mikejima Madara. Kiryu Kuro, Amagi Hiiro, Morisawa Chiaki, Nagumo Tetora

< In the Training Room.>

Sora: Please help Sora out with training. Thank you so much!

Madara: Yep, that’s the situation right there! I hope everyone can come together to help Sora-san achieve his wish, somehow ☆

Tetora: No, wait. Even if you say “That’s the situation right there”, I haven’t the foggiest clue what the situation is at all… …

Chiaki: I'm in the same boat too. However, it’s the duty of a hero to help those in need. If Harukawa wishes to train with me, I’ll be his training partner for however long it takes!

Kuro: Hmm. I don’t mind either, but can we at least know why you want to train with us?

One can’t really train without knowing what the goal is, after all.

Sora: Yes! Sora REALLY wants to master a finishing move! It’s the Forward Downward Diagonal Punch~ (2) ♪

Hiiro: Hmm? What’s a forward downward diagonal punch? Is it a kind of spell or something?

Tetora: OH! Could it be a command from that fighting game? You know, the famous one!

Kuro: Oh, that one, huh? The one that’s surprisin'ly tricky to execute properly. I see, I get what you’re talkin’ about now.

Any guy would wanna try imitatin’ the techniques they see in manga and games at least once.

Harukawa, you probably want to try out the moves you’ve been usin' in yer fighting games, am I right?

Sora: HaHa~! Bin~go, Red Onii-san. Sora will award you a flower seal~ (3)

In the beginning, Sora tried asking Shisho and Senpai for advice, but they’re not very knowledgeable about martial arts at all.

That’s why Sora ended up practising in the dorm room while looking at the game screen, you know~?

Madara: Hahaha. And when I came back and saw Sora-san performing a strange dance in our dorm room, I couldn’t help joining in the dance as wellll ♪

Sora: Urgh. It’s not a dance, okay~. It’s a Finishing Move!

Madara: Whoops! Sorry, my bad! You’re absolutely right. Anyway, that’s the reason why I invited you here after seeing you so worked up about it after all.

Everything has a purpose and place. If it’s a place to practise martial arts you need, then there's no better place for you than SHIN after aaall!

Madara: Now then. For that reason, once again—Would everyone be willing to help Sora-san fulfil his wish?

Great! It seems like everyone is willing to lend a hand! Well then, let us start our Circle activities without delay ♪

Tetora: Now, Sora-kun, try loosening your fists a little. Don’t rely solely on your fists to strike—try twisting your hips to inject more power into your punch!

Sora: Got it! TAKE! THAT! And THAT!

Chiaki: Whoa, you're looking good! Those punches of yours have some serious power behind them ♪

Sora: HiHi~! Punching rhythmically like this makes it feel like Sora’s playing a fun music game! It’s almost as if Sora can see the notes coming in from the front, huh~?

TAKE! THAT! And THAT! Sora will be trying his best to aim for a Full Combo now ♪

Kuro: Oi, oi. You shouldn’t be losin’ yer focus and thinkin' of other games during warmup, should you?

If you get too carried away, you’ll run outta steam and bonk before achievin’ yer goal, Harukawa.

Sora: You’re right! Thank you, Red Onii-san. Sora will remember that since Sora doesn’t have much stamina.

However, doing this is so much fun, it feels like Sora’s health is actually being replenished instead~ ♪

Madara: HAHAHA! Sora-san seems perfectly warmed up nowww!

Let's strike while the iron is hot! Now that warm-up is done, shall we move on to the training for your Finishing Move?

Sora: Yes, please! Sora will be in your care!

Tetora: Anyway, for those who are unfamiliar with fighting games, I’ve managed to find a video demonstrating the technique.

Madara: Oh, that’s helpful. … … Hmm, hmm. I see nowww. It’s that kind of move, huh?

Madara: Hm~mm. Performing this move leaves you wide open for a counterattack, doesn’t it? It doesn't seem very practical for actual combat at aaall.

Hiiro: Hmm. I agree with Madara-senpai. The part where you jump after landing a fist on the opponent's chin is totally unnecessary.

If your attack misses, you won’t be able to dodge while in mid-air, and end up exposing your flank and other vulnerable areas.

Kuro: Oi, oi, you guys. Stop goin’ outta yer way to say things to crush Harukawa’s dream.

Chiaki: Exactly, you two. Saying stuff like that feels like you’re interrupting a hero’s transformation scene!

Tetora: Moves like these are cooler when they’re hot-blooded and flashy, aren’t they? It’s so not cool to rain on other people’s parades!

Anyway, Sora-kun, could you show us the Finishing Move you’ve got now? We won’t be able to give proper advice until we know what needs fixing, right?

Sora: Got it! Sora will show you his punch at full power~! Here it goes… …

HaHa! Forward Downward Diagonal Punch~ ♪

Tetora: Here, I’ve recorded Sora-kun’s move as it is now. Let's take a look at it.

Sora: Hm~mm? There’s no force behind it at all~. This isn’t a Finishing Move, it’s just an ordinary jump.

Sora has a long, long way to go after all~. What in the world is Sora doing wrong, Sora wonders?

Hiiro: Well, I think your small size is a major reason why you lack power, Sora-kun. The person using this move in the game is very muscular, after all.

Madara: That’s true, but having a small build doesn’t mean one can’t generate an impact, right? With a little technique, even small things can be made to appear huge, you knowww?

And Chiaki-san, with his rich experience in hero shows and stunt work, should be able to offer some insights on how to achieve that, riiight ♪

Chiaki: Ahaha… I think the same could be said of you, Mikejima-san.

However, it’s true that I can give some advice based on my experience to you.

The key idea to remember is—to contract when needed, and to extend when needed.

For instance, right before jumping, you should fully contract to gather as much power as you possibly can—

—and then unleash all that power at the moment of the jump, extending fully into the punch as you connect with your opponent’s chin.

If you do that, you’ll have an impressively flashy uppercut!

Sora: Hm~mm? Um… … So, contracting fully before extending—?

Tetora: Ahaha. Morisawa-senpai just dumped a bunch of unexpected theory on you, huh. It’s detailed, but then, it might be hard to understand this advice just by listening.

Kuro: In that case, why don’t I demonstrate what that means for ya? Pay close attention, Harukawa—

Kuro: HERE GOES—!

Tetora: WOW! As expected of you, Taishou! That was incredibly powerful just now!

Sora: Yes! It felt like the character from the game was right in front of our eyes!

Kuro: Haha, thanks fer the compliment. But more importantly, did you understand how the move works from what you saw just now, Harukawa?

Sora: Yes, Sora has got it perfectly~. Sora will give it a go, so please watch carefully! Here it goes~~

EIYAAA—!

Sora: Urm, how was that? Did Sora manage to perform the Finishing Move properly just now?

Chiaki: That’s amazing, Harukawa! That was powerfully and perfectly done!

Hiiro: Umu! I felt a powerful intensity that made me instinctively raise my guard just now!

Oh, I get it. The key to this technique lies in this very intensity. With such an effect, there’ll be no opportunity for the opponent to attack Sora-kun's exposed flank or back because their guard will be raised high despite themselves!

Sora: HuHu~! This achievement is only possible thanks to everyone here at SHIN. Sora can call himself a Finishing Move Master now~ ♪

AH! However, there are still many Finishing Moves Sora has not mastered yet, so it might still be too early for Sora to call himself a Finishing Move Master now, huh… …?

Madara: Hoho~! It appears there are still many techniques Sora-san wishes to learn about!

This is a good opportunity, so let’s practise other Finishing Moves today as well~

Sora: In that case, let’s all fire out Energy Blasts together! It’s Down Diagonal Forward Punch~ (4) ♪

Kuro: Harukawa, that’s hella impossible, even fer me… …

The End

Translator’s notes:

必殺技 (hi-satsu-waza) in the title: Sure-kill-technique or finishing move in computer games.

Sora is saying the controller commands which will activate the 昇龍拳 ShoRyuKen in the fighting game, Street Fighter.

3. Sora says 花丸 Hanamaru here: This refers to the encircled flower seal (equivalent to a gold star) JP teachers award to children for good work at school. It looks like this.

4. Sora just suggested that everyone perform the 波動拳 Hadouken in Street Fighter.

5. It's not proofed, so if you spot anything and/or wish to give feedback, please DM me.

Ch 110: Random Thoughts

Ok, let's go...

ooooh, what a cool face, Tsukasa! ♡ You're so beautiful. Always so enchanting. Captivating boy! ✨

So he was referring to Akane after all.

Uh, strong words coming from Akane to say he will put Tsukasa to justice. Hmm. Nice.

How cheeky. How smug. So full of yourself, huh? ~ What a reallllly good mood you're in. Well, regarding the situation, you're so pleased. Almost getting to finish what you've been after for so long. ~ those who tell Tsukasa to follow their rules have it hard. Not remembering old No.3. lol

I'm done talking about his super speed and powerful SHARP hands. His hands are a weapon alone. OH!

He is wasting no time, right into business at full force. How admirable.

But seriously... the words... oh! He's been growing really smug since ch 91, 92 and now... woooh... one time playing with puzzle pieces and throwing them in the air all gracefully and the other Kaku's gears... this side of his... easy on me...! I get it everything is in the palm of your hand. I get it you're pleased you're almost at the finish line and enjoying your success on getting what you've been working hard and patiently on for long. BUT!! OH! ... even that Tsukasa art with the clock. oh. should I be calling you Mr. cool smug Tsu? ♡ it's impossible not to remember him! OH!

Uhhh... just thinking of Kou threatening little Tsukasa to get at him one day is sooooo funny at this point. You sure you can pull that off? lol

LOVE how this boy aged. From an innocent hum to a REALLY smug, fully in charge and capable one. UH! you want to go after Tsukasa after the scary 'hmm' face he showed you before and after what he did to you after showing it? Have to say you're brave. ~

Speaking of you, shouldn't you really be after someone else by now? If we were to assume Tsukasa hurt your friend, which is a big No-No to you, no one touches your dear friend and gets away with it, after what nat did, how will you react? Go at full force at him, kay? ~ Not to add, that's also the fake 'senpai' who used you in a really ugly way to get what he wants and left you with nothing before. Get a much called for 'revenge' on an ugly target. ~ Let me see you going. ~

You're still on the safe side. You still have time to reconsider, Kou. For your own sake. ^^

Here we go again...

Love how this boy changes from cheerful, playful, carefree… to being deadly serious and focused in like a split moment. He just keeps on switching between the 2 sides. A thing to admire about him. ~

Ahem, he is 'playing' with you Akane. ^^ seriously, he cut Akane's side with his pare hand and drew blood out of him, he crushes metal with them, punches a whole through metal or whatever... his HANDS! what are they made of?! even though I said I won't talk much about his hands.. here we are...

He is having fun. He is enjoying himself. Little smug foxie. ~

The amount of self confidence he has always impresses me. My goodness it's limitless… but this chapter is on another whole level. SO SMUG! I love that mood of his. oooooh SO COOL!!!

To go on and take out parts of Kaku to throw them at Akane. AHAHAHA Wha a cool move! ~ It's hilarious. What a reallllly good mood you're in. do you have a thing against kaku? you're treating him like ruins of the clock.

The punch he gave to Akane's chin, it reminded me of the one Hanako gave to Kou in the pilot. The twins share some moves. cool.

Later on he moved to give Akane a nice spin around, how fun! I hope Akane enjoyed the ride! twister no.4 seems to have given Tsu a fun idea during their chase lol Again, Akane's reaction. Same as the one Hanako made when Teru destroyed the ceiling of the far shore train. Hilarious. Hilarious.

One of Tsukasa's coolest signature moves!!!!! Hits with an iron fist!!!!!

Unbothered Tsuuuu!!!!!! unbudging Tsu!!!! Amazing Tsu!!!!!!

Wooh, I think I need to stop on Akane's words to give Kou some kind of credit.

His unbothered side! Hmm. Even though that happened when Tsukasa was letting his guard down and all... it still counts in a way. The only one to 'graze' almighty Tsukasa so far.

Hmm, wonder if Tsukasa wanted to, he could use Kokujoudai regardless of what Akane did, the one not to be really affected by Mirai's seal, rules in boundaries don't seem to apply to him, hmm...

Who is distracted Akane? Tsukasa wasted no time to go with his signature move while you weren't paying attention to him. He just switches between going easy to serious that's all.

And once more, another Tsukasa signature move. Smashing heads into things. The ground, table, wall..... he is still more gentle than No.6 on the head smashing regard.

It's again, funny, the guys going to call Tsukasa guilty and voice to want to bring him to justice were brought to justice by him on their very court table. One with Tsukasa stepping on it and punching a hole through his chest, the other getting crushed into it. woooh. Tsukasa shows no mercy I see. What a fun court. ~

Seriously, he gave Akane no room to prove himself. It was a one-sided fight. Was it a fight? Half of it Tsukasa was playing.........

Again, he is so fascinated by the insides of other things. Why not tell us what's on the inside of you, Tsukasa? We're fascinated by that, too. Come on. you want to show us that once you're destroyed? while I'm a sobbing mess? How can i see with my sight blurry? ........

Anyway, the insides of Akane is flesh, Tsukasa. So, it's a relief he survived your attack. didn't you notice the blood when you hit his side?

Having Akane freeing Mirai and asking her to run (both for her safety and because she holds the yorishiro, I assume he knows it's there. Even if he didn't before, it's just a fact at that point with Kaku down and him knowing it's not within him), then for her to throw herself in front of him to get the hit instead and protect him with a selfless act. They do care for each other after all. How sweet, despite Akane going they tricked him and he hates supernaturals. He seemed taken aback by what happened to her... falling to his knees checking on her closely maybe?

Even though I don't really care for either Kaku or Mirai so far, I like her gesture with Akane. It was nice to see.

Love how Tsukasa still kept his logo of 'gentle with girls' so far. He got her not on purpose, and the time they fought before too. Still, I assume if he failed with Akane, he will be going for her. Uh......... if that happened I was going to say goodbye to gentle with girls Tsukasa. It was nice to know you. haha.

So, I was thinking for a whole month before the chapter will I go counting triple kill on Tsukasa's list when the chapter is out? It's fun to get it. Even if none of them is really 'over'. I was also hoping to see Tsukasa bloody like the time with No.3, he looked cool back then. Uh, for that to happen it had to be Akane's or Teru's? blood... since the others are just made of gears. But of course, I wouldn't want for Akane to reach that point of being badly wounded... I would be satisfied with a small amount... like if the cut to his side left a bit on Tsukasa's hand... uh... I would pay to be in Hanako's, Nene's, Teru's place or the owls and watch Tsukasa in action and going -far shore No.6 mode but X1000 COOLER like they were doing. Ahahaha, their reactions were so fun. even Teru's was funny.

Turned out the yorishiro is...

Within Mirai like I guessed. ~

And some people go saying Tsukasa killes for fun. Yeah, once his purpose is done, he didn't walk back to Akane, despite his comment on wanting to know what's on the inside of him.

Still, Tsukasa didn't go with the pattern I mentioned. If he did... we wouldn't have had all that fight so... makes sense. and I would have said goodbye to that thing

And, Tsukasa finally got his hands on the yorishiro. Mission accomplished. A yorishiro holding another. No.7's holding No.1's. Amusing. Tsukasa. ~

Though, from all the things, it turned out to be a "key"? I'm so sensitive to that. Come on.

...

Hmm... what meaning could that hold?

I can't help but to go back to the time Tsukasa had Nene going back in time to get Amane's key. And, now we see him holding a key. Something feels fishy. What purpose might the 2? keys serve?

Why did he want Nene to get Amane's key? What purpose does it hold? At this stage with his plan on its final stogies shouldn't what he meant to do with making that happen come to play... with what he meant for Nene to do? What he meant for her to have? Does she still have the key with her at the moment? like... if she was brought back to normal, will it be there in her uniform pocket? Will we finally see it in use?

Hmm, I do wonder what all that Tea-party-Nene plan Tsukasa came with serves.

she seemed to help him together with her servant carry it. So? Did Tsukasa just come to them and told them "hey, we'll do this for a thing I want, nothing on your benefit." and the 2 just agreed? They were active parts of the plan. If it doesn't serve them, if it doesn't mean anything to them, if it even stands in her way if what Nene is supposed to do will turn out to be an obstacle in her way, would she have agreed to help and make her servant help? That feels so unlikely for a supposedly 'careful' evil person as her. What did they want out of that, too?

Did she just go with "it will be my chance to get the naive girl's trust so I can manipulate her easily all I want later on? Sending her servant with her to be her guide and lead her in the nowhere, and maybe to get something out of it... what did it hold?

Was she oblivious to Tsukasa's purpose out of that deal and just carried out with it for her to get the Nene trust thing and for nat to achieve something maybe? .........

Were the 3 working together or did they have goals of their own in there? Are they opposing to the point what Tsukasa wants might step in her and servant's way? Hmmmmmmmmmm..............

Everything in the tea party arc is questionable at this point. Everything in it is just tricky, full of lies, ACTING.

Generally,

What kind of 'trust' do they have in each other? What a 'trio'. Funny. Really funny.

How NOT to be a trio. Hahaha, they aren't together at all. Never have been. ~

Hmm... having this...

What do these smirks hold behind them? What is he after? What are they (SHE) after? Ha, she is even dancing and waving her dress around in there, what is it that really pleasing thing she can't wait to get?

In No.6's case I think it was her want to get rid of Sumire together with setting the stage of getting rid of Tsukasa, too. Someone doesn't seem to have a whole lot of patience. Now, she wants No.1, No.7, No.3 out of the way in one go. How funny. How funny. This rush storm inside of you doesn't show on your face little thing. ~

Uhhhh, what a fake you are. ~ Hmm... even that whole show of "I can't disobey him" you put, is it for real? ~ you've been going your way since the very start and until now. ~ what a thing you are. ~

I wonder... can snakes have the color green? ~

A 'careful' thing like her needs to really be as careful when facing Tsukasa. ~ He is not one to mess with easily. I hope she gets that with her 'he can't see me' or 'things are over now. a "betrayal" is so easy.' ~

Tsukasa dear, you happened to comment on being proud of seeing her going her way back in No.6's case. Do you, also, feel the same way on the other cases? Like now for example? What a magical being you are. ~

He asked her about if she is happy with hurting others and she responded yes, her actions right after that chapter with Nene, Sumire-No.6, this arc with the whole school and Mit 2.0. Clearly she is more than happy. She is going at full force. What a thing. ~ What a thing. ~

Snakes and cats... hmm... has to be the cat to outshine at the end, huh? I just can't wait to see how her deal with Tsukasa will come to an end, especially with little koku being in the mix. I'm so sorry I committed a crime on your side in the past, Tsukasa. I hope you can forgive me.

Seriously, the 4 are funny now. a cat, a green snake, a dog and a puppy. Let me take the cat and puppy and take my leave. ~

Ok, enough of that. Lots of other things to focus on. With the 2 going their (her) way.

So, her dog can wonder around, is it because of her lame gift or because he is special? Not that I care. Nor that I care for his show off in ch 92 or even him in the cover of vol 19. so booooooring.

Uhh, so Nagisa and Tiara are frozen, huh?

That's senpai to you. Who would care to call you that? What a waste. Out of the rare times I wished Mit 2.0 will go with his "you're lame attitude" regarding him and the gift, I didn't get it.

Ok, so he doesn't use his blood ability unless it's really needed as he voiced out before, because it's it makes him feel gross. You already are with or without it, don't be so sad. ~

His speech to Mit 2.0, I wonder if they made that clear to him before or not? From his reaction he feels oblivious to the whole deal. If that was the case, then scolding him like that when you didn't tell him a thing is called hypocrisy, you so lame so UNcool hypocrite.

Ok, so he wouldn't do that to Mit 2.0 without a clear purpose. Is it to force him to create a yorishiro so they can destroy next by putting him in a life threatening situation?

Still gross, considering they only want to destroy it, regardless. Forcing Mit 2.0 to have a thing to care about more than anything, only to destroy it. Meaning they use him like some kind of toy from start to end. They will keep it around until its deal is done to them just to throw it away when it's over. Oh.... wait a sec... a toy...?

Yep, go at the right person at full force, Kou. Go ahead and show me what the whole of "my purpose" speech you gave while looking at Mit's photos mean. Show me where you stand now.

Mit 2.0, I really don't get him or Kou or their deal. At a moment he is all "I gave up, end me" then the other "ok, let's go to the festival"....... both forgot the main issue, the main problem, Mit 2.0's unstable existence. A part of what Mit 2.0/they reached now lies within his/ their ignorance of the situation they are in. So, despite nat's speech being trash, it have a bit of truth within it. Mit 2.0 and Kou could have done better if they just gave things what they are worth, instead of leaving them for who knows when.

So now, Mit 2.0 is in a real 'dying' situation. That will really show his real desire, and prove if his want to "be gone" is really that strong or not. A chance to be gone came to you, Mit 2.0.. will you accept it or resist it? Or will you go "if I'm gone, I want Kou to finish me" like you told him before? Will you end up creating a yorishiro at that point? What might it be? A thing to be your living line and at the same time so precious to you?

As Mit 2.0 peeked into all of his "old self" memories using his mirrors, a thing to be important to his old self, together with him, it's a picture of Kou, might end up becoming his yorishiro? It's in Kou's house though... if we needed a thing within the school, maybe even No.3's boundary... Hmm...

Again, it holds a meaning for both him and his "old self". Kou gave it to him and he held into it thinking of the hell of a time I went with reviewing the chapter, it keeps on showing in his arms then disappearing at a later shot repeatedly!. A moon rock, scissors, skitch book... it holds a potential of having this " 'first' precious gift" in it. The Penguin chain sadly got destroyed so... can it be repaired if he wanted? hmm...

Can it become Kou's lame traffic earing? For fun, both Mit kept commenting on it, it's from Kou, they called him referring to it, old Mit died in a car accident, we got an event of Kou gifting him a traffic earing... and were told in an early chapter it's something 'improtant' to Kou. Imagine that one will be the case. It'll be so funny.

I'm left with these options, I don't really think Mit 2.0 is capable of creating a human yorishiro (make Kou his yorishiro), that seems to be one specific task with specific circumstances I see Mit 2.0 to lack.

Now, thinking of old No.3's yorishiro that's still there. Do we need it or is it just worthless and forgettable like its owner? Seriously, the only character in this story to lack everything including an "existence" is that bird.

Hmm, looking back at Tsukasa's deal with making Mit 2.0 No.3... his speech all along was only directed to that, it's Hanako who went for the "old" yorsirho. .......

From what we heard from nat, it doesn't connect to Mit 2.0 at all.

Uhhh, thinking about Tsukasa making Mit 2.0 and making him stay by making him No.3 and then feeding him so he can keep regenerating, after that Tsukasa? What did you have in mind to do after that? You told him he can become human, he can have his wish, he's kept on living on that hope until his life became hell and jsut wanted to be gone, then kept going once more, you don't lie, right? How do you plan to grant his wish? Take responsibility, Tsukasa. He is not a toy you made to be played with by others. He is a being with feelings, wants and wishes. Either be as responsible to grant his wish, or I don't know.. try to do anything for him for him to reach a stable piece of mind and being. you can't leave him at the middle of the road. I'm sure you won't leave any of your work undone.

So, once Mit 2.0 is a full mystery will he take a new 'complete' form? not that I hold a thing against it but I feel his design in there is a symbolism of many things. some might be Tsukasa codded, even when his yorishiro is destroyed, he'll just lose authority over the boundary... would that mean he is a step toward becoming "human"? From what was said, it seems so. Uh, I see all that thing in lots of ways, one of Mit 2.0 might end up just accepting what he is, now having a stable existence, and give up on that wish. Why did he want to become human to begin with? If he can have that in his life already, is there a need for him to become "human" anymore?

On Tsukasa's side of the wish thing, having Mit crossing to become a full mystery, if we assumed he still wanted to be human, maybe once all Yorishiros are destroyed, if what she said is true..... looking at it in another way than all will be gone... if we reduced this all to the "lines" between life and death... if we assumed the world will be rewritten so the living, the dead (ghosts), supernaturals are equal and can live together... that means Mit 2.0's wish is granted along the way? He can have the life he wants without necessarily becoming human. Is that what he has in mind?

Also, if what she said is really going to happen, will Tsukasa be as pleased to go with it? I mean he goes about the rules, not the beings. It's like he is after rewriting the rules of the world to create and new one where all can be free to be whatever they want, not to blow away everything. How would that be possible with him wanting to grant Amane's wish? In saving Nene's life? And living a real life with her? what wish could he have while gone?

Uh, the whole Nene will die once the yorishiros are destroyed deal too... it feels like once he is gone, she is gone too. 2 in 1. brace yourself Amane. The DOUBLE PIAN you'll get if that were to happen! Boy............. we're similar huh

I mean from what we got so far, Tsukasa doesn't care for his own being, but Nene's life is a part of the deal. A part of Amane's wish. We need to change her fate, don't we? You going this way is clearly the wrong path, Tsukasa. Unless........ you have other things in mind. Regarding Nene's life and the world (maybe even your complicated situation). Things Amane, her and us are oblivious to. I trust you.

You're just playing with our minds and feelings, dear. But I can go with 'wait and see'. Amaze me. ♡

Ok, moving on...

The face of "it's over". ♡ Thanks for all you hard work so far. KEEP it up. *coughing* to hear... Tsukasa referring to himself as "Amane's" yorishiro for the first time ever... uh....

Unlike the time he talked with her... there is a whole 180 between her and Amane's reaction. See who cares for you, dear Tsu. Even when you want to be gone, there are people? not to care and use your want as an easy to achieve step in their happiness plan, and there are people! who can't live without you, ready to pin you down, keep a strong hold around you so you won't leave, you precious boy!

Don't go I want to be gone based on fake illusions in your head. Please realize how much worthy you are. Please unleash this want to stay with Amane you have deep down within you. Please... Amane.... I'm begging you to prove to this boy how irreplicable and precious he is. How your world is just dull without him there. Please Tsukasa... this time get it. Understand him, please.

Nene, please help them both get over this miscommunication issue they have! Help them understand each other! Be the hand to bring them together!

I can't with that...... I just can't.....

Hmm... now.. what am I supposed to get from his talk? Mit 2.0 will make a yorishiro? Won't and that leaves us with No.1's and him? Is he on board with what the 2 went to do with Mit 2.0? ...

It seems they want the 7 yorishiros gone, not only 6. And, it looks like he knows that, too. Hmm...

Well, yes, she said 7. They need to forse Mit 2.0 to make one. It's clear now.

Uhh, now I started to see Tsukasa this arc, no in the entire story as someone trying to live the moment to its fullest before he says his last goodbye. When little, before he got killed, and now... he wanted to do something special before he is gone for good, change Amane's life for the better, give him happiness. A thing to remember him 'foundly' with maybe? Having him wanting to end things with his own hands this arc...... with the last yorishiro.... Amane... Nene... all he did along the way from the very start till now.....

How could he be that good of an actor... or so collected let's say... shows nothing on him... in their birthday before he left... the time he spent after he came back waiting to be killed (not sure about his last year though) ... now... he plays and signs and... oh... how are you doing on the inside, Tsukasa?

If I went please don't leave Tsukasa, will you grant that wish for me?

Teru's internal monologue,

Poor Nene, looking at Akane, keepers having a hard time.

Hmm... I don't get him. At the start of the story he kept on going on how much the 7 mysteries are evil and dangerous, then kept going after evil Hanako, and then... he tells Akane they are needed to 'support' the school and they will be needing No.1 to stand up for 'Tsukasa' turned out Amane took his leave at the end or...? , looking forward to see No.1 really in real action. Having him voicing if the Yorishiros are gone the land? I assume the one of the school will fall down... kinda reminds me of vol. 19's cover... would that be what happens?

The pillars he had at mind almost took the shape of those surrounding the hole in No.6's boundary under the school as I recall it, would it be like... the core of the destruction to come? The hole that links to the far shore as I recall it? Hmm... can we see No.6 in action once more? maybe even all the 7 in one place when that time comes? each pillar looks like this one in Sumire's... uh... sacred shrines... sacrifices... yorishiros... unseating pits of powers to return to an original form of theirs... what a huge thing...

With Nene's supposed 'sealed' fate this thing is doomed to happen......

Speaking of that, how did Teru know Nene's life span and death is directly linked to the yorishiros? Hmm...

The Minamotos have lots of things under their sleeves. while he was talking in depth about No.1, he didn't seem to know much about Tsukasa's position and not to pay attention to her being mentioned before… hmm…

Following the origin of the school, was it built on that same land Sumire's village lies on?

It seems… that land… the red house… school… are all linked.

I mean, we have No.6's boundary being under the school, the hole there that he used to sacrifice Aoi once she fell into it can be linked to that original cliff, having the same thing of: Supernaturals are coming in and attacking the place, let's sacrifice a girl to stop that agenda in Sumire's village, the same thing happened in the school, therefore had No.6 who is an "expert" in dealing with that, used the same agenda. We dealt with the situation the same way. Had the severance happening, similar to the thing in the village, again, with supernaturals stopping coming out for a while. The mess happened out of having almost half of the yorishros gone, the protectors to keep the land safe from that happening.

We see the supernaturals coming from that hole, in No.6's boundary in general, also there in the red house, which is directly linked to the kannagi place.

A 'sealed' well near the 'red house' and Teru saying there is water and all under it… having it connecting to the far shore.

It makes since we're in the same place, land and all.

Having that nat saying to Kou "This guy's been a real thorn in our side. He is been stopping just about every single supernatural that tries to make it to the mortal world... before they even get the chance to wreak havoc there."

Hmm, feels legit connecting it to his old rule, that he still takes on himself as No.6, taking care of the hole/cliff and its supernaturals crossing in.

Hmm, now maybe his disappearance makes sense? He did his last job, got over his duty... he is free to go wherever.

Since he is told the whole system is not needed anymore to protect the mortal world, his rule is over... he'll do just that.

So yes, the school seven mystries - yorishrio system, Sumire's village system... are 2 sides of the same coin, deal with the same thing. One just evolved from the other.

After all, that makes sense why the school is full of supernaturals and all, Mit, etc end up within it.

Ok...

Talking about the keepers...

Could their uselessness come from the destruction of their clock as he put it before lol? Could it be that they don't care to defend their yorishiro or if it's destroyed? Could it be they can't use their time power for some reason? And that feels to not be it for the most part, since Mirai used her time power on Tsukasa and it didn't work, Kaku was taken by surprise and was down, Akane couldn't even turn his head around, the moment he did he was done. Tsukasa is not an opponent to be underestimated.

Their time power seems to take a little time for them to activate once they decide to used, even.

Could they hold up before his speed even for a few seconds just enough for them to activate it? Did they fight knowing it's a lost call? I mean he showed to be faster than the 3 of them to react.

Talking a little more about it,

With Mirai's case, she promised to move his time until he is 'dust', if she had succeeded, that will give a whole different story from how the situation developed. was Amane sure nothing will happen to Tsukasa so he didn't step in? Feels so. He wasn't scared Tsukasa will get it hard once he called his name, it's the opposite. He didn't make a move until Tsukasa said that "me" of his.

Thing is, when Mirai moved Tsukasa's time, did she really touch only the handcuffs and moved their time only or was it something else that its time moved? Hmm... when she moves the time of a 'being' no matter what she touches on them, it will be their time that will move together with these things. With Nene, with Kou he grew up completely in appearance, powers, not only his clothes. Tsukasa... assuming she only touched the handcuffs, they should be the only thing to age but...

Oh? now I see why she is shocked and why he only smirked. Missing with a being of 'his own time' are we? Hmm, it's amazing how there seemed to a somewhat of explosion, a huge flow of power to feel "reflected" once she tried moving his time. Unlike any other case she moved time forward within before, even with Kou it was a small smoke cloud nothing much.

The mystery of the red house... the thing of its own time, own space, own rules, connected to the kannagi place... it was hilarious how Nene came out of one on the taps

Hmm... what's on the inside of you, Tsukasa-kun?

Anyway, so Mirai's power of moving time don't work on him, Akane's of stopping time don't feel to work, the clock didn't affect him how about Akane, and Kaku... if he turned back time without Tsukasa noticing any moment that would feel to work somehow.

Are the keepers just trying to go with the flow so they will "observe", see how things will play out before Kaku finally turns back time so then they can finally get serious? Knowing how things ordinally developed? That feels smart.

Thing is... turning time don't erase the memories of those powerful supernaturals so... Tsukasa will also remember how things went and time was brought back...

Hmm......

... what do the keepers have in mind? It would feel only legit they have something they are plotting.

A thing of wait and see...

Would what Teru mentioned to Akane about Kou come to play soon?

We're dealing a lot with 'time' this arc.

And finally...

Mr. ^_^.

Recalling it, Tsukasa... she never agreed to anything let alone promised anything, you came up with the game and didn't let her even finish her line of "I didn't agree to th-". ^^

Ok... that moment....

...

Uh, have to say it feels cute how Tsukasa was going on a rampage up until it's Amane he's facing. He is just too gentle and "Amane?" ... oh...

And, sure enough, they are back in position, with the knife. What a complete setting.

Seriously, Tsukasa... he loves going and leaving him behind. Yeah, Amane... you have to pin him down to the ground and keep him in place. Nail him with a knife, take a tight grip of his hands, make sure he doesn't escape. Go ahead and be as selfish to even keep him locked in your boundary like a prisoner. Keep a ring around his ankle so he doesn't go far away. If you don't do this, he will keep disappearing because of some illusions in his head.

Uh, just thinking how the rooftop scene summarizes the twins' deal, with Tsukasa being gone for some time, reappearing back suddenly in Amane's life, then after sometime leaves him behind. "See you later". What a game, Tsukasa. Now I see why he pinned Nene down. "Stop leaving me behind. That's enough already. I can't take anymore." Then... the way he ended up against the door, or even the time Akane gave him a speech about what he did... Tsukasa had him hard with his act of "disappearing" to leave him all alone and broken, regardless of how hard he tries to prevent it from happening. ........

"Without you, the world is empty, meaningless. It's just hell."

Take turns. How does it feel? not that I think you didn't take her turn in your past. but still made the decision anyway despite you getting the feeling of being left behind. Just thinking she will forget someday and find happiness in other things. and then got angry at her for doing just the same as you did in your past. Tsukasa's comment was needed, you did the same as her, you gave up on your future and life to supposedly stay with me regardless of me agreeing or not. Even if I wanted you to keep living and chase your dreams and have a future. why can't she do the same as you did. too? you won't accept her noble sacrifice? You're unfair. Amane. You just go with things your way. So selfish. Tsukasa, sorry but... in your case this time I want him to be as selfish. Hold you down and prevent you from sacrificing yourself. Maybe the same also goes for the other one in your past.

Uh, to think that he went to try his best to voice his feelings out to Tsukasa yet all he got was a "so?" ........... 💢

Tsukasa doesn't get his feelings, doesn't want to be saved........

The time Hanako saved him together with Nene, Tsukasa asked about it. Mr. can't talk gave a cold answer, to receive a cold "so" later. Ehhh, who started the mess...

"You were there, too. So might as well save you." - "I won't be able to save you." now imagine how much effort it took him to voice that out after he failed the other time. and Tsukasa... not any of Amane's tries to 'save' you reached you....

??????????

Explain yourself, Amane.

In connection to the 3-loop...

It's twisted how this "what about what a person wants" plays with Tsukasa.

The first time he left Amane without "asking him what he wants", he assumed hearing Amane's speech that's his want/wish and tried making it come true for him. Amane didn't include him in there, so if he is gone it's fine, Amane is happy. In a way, that felt like what Amane wants (unlike Nene who Amane was sure not to want him to 'save' her the way he went).

Then, when 12... I assume influenced by Kou's speech, he made sure to ask Amane to voice what he wants. To choose if he wanted him to stay or disappear. But, Amane stayed silent it seems, making Tsukasa take action. Who knows, maybe once again Amane's lack of answer had him assuming he is "whatever" just like he got when little. He doesn't need him there to be happy. Him coming back home brought Amane misfortune, so he is better off without him. His unworthy little brother. He can be happy having his dreams and future without any care for him, after all... isn't that the reason Tsukasa sacrificed himself in the first place? Until Amane gave up on all that, did what he did so they can be together. Was that what Tsukasa wanted at that point? Or did he want the opposite for Amane? He wanted him to live? Amane went and decided for them both how they will end either way. Uh. Regardless, now it feels Tsukasa at least appropriates Amane's efforts in there? At least he doesn't show to be offended by what happened, he shows to love it? Even when he doesn't understand the message? I don't really follow him there. Maybe it's the fact of he saw Amane not holding back in general and that had him pleased. It's a logo of his. And, he accepted whatever Amane decided with open arms.

And now, it's the same. Tsukasa went with "that's what you want".

He makes decisions based on a "part" of what Amane wants. But, what he really wants is there inside of him. He needs to voice it out for Tsukasa to finally understand it.

Amane tried explaining he doesn't want a wish if it meant he'll disappear... but was met with a "so?" his feelings not reaching his little brother. It seems Tsukasa is still stuck in here... and just had a lag, can't move past that.

So, Tsukasa needs him to say it clearly. "I love you. I don't want you to disappear. I want you to say by my side."

If Amane did... would he reconsider....?

Will Amane's feelings finally reach him? Will they get past their miscommunication issue? Will they finally start to understand each other a little?

Hmm... from what does Amane really want to save Tsukasa??? What does he have in mind??? If I were to tell him to take a first step in saving him, it would be to start with Tsukasa himself, save him from himself, save him from the illusions inside his head, save him from his self-doubt, worth issues that come from within him. Then, move on to the surroundings.

Why can't Tsukasa really see your love or understand any of your efforts? A part lies within your lack of putting your feelings into words and maybe also, it comes from deep within Tsukasa himself. He is so self-defeated, fast to give up on himself, he doesn't see how amazing or precious he his. He is fast to see himself in the wrong image. Which is so saaaaad. How is he supposed to believe someone really loves him? For what? You love worthless me? Can't be. Why? If anything, you must be in love with a false image you made of me. I'm not how you see me. You care for me because you're my older brother. It's a given. It's like a duty. You care for little brother. Do you care for 'Tsukasa'?

I see before Tsukasa gets to understand the love of anyone else, he needs to love himself first. How are you supposed to see the love of others when you lack self-love? When you're full of self-doubts?

Save him from that, Amane.

Before you ask even though he doesn't really, he is that selfless. if Amane hates him it's fine what matters is that he loves him and ready to do anything for him and his wishes and happiness for anyone's love, you need to start with loving yourself, accept yourself. Do you do, Tsukasa? If you don't, how is it possible for you to see, accept other's love or even understand it?

Before Hanako or even Nene try to help you, the change starts from within you. Start with changing the way you see yourself and feel about things, so you can move a step forward. Otherwise you'll keep stuck in the same place.

How do you see yourself Tsukasa? How do you feel about yourself? Please show me.

Goodness, doesn't this issue exist within both twins? Amane, too... struggles with accepting love and has self-respect issues. Both of them need help. Both need to be saved. Nene, too... at times... anyone to love me is fine..... I just want to feel loved......... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

Their story is just tragic. One sees himself as really unwanted by whoever, not important in his twin's life and he is happy without him, even if he wanted to be with him he lacks the courage to do so, seeing he won't do right by his side, therefore keeps going with 'disappearing' from his life not finding the reason to stay anyway, can't get any signal his twin sends him to show the opposite, he wants to hear him tell his feelings, what he really wants, while the other struggles with that specific thing. Both are suffering. The one who rejects and the one who is rejected.

Tsukasa is miserable, Amane is miserable. Both are miserable. How many tears will they have me shed until they are happy?

One insists on leaving, the other tries with all his might to keep him in place.

Uhhh... how does it feel trying with all your might to have your moon not to disappear beyond the clouds so you can see him always?

Your beautiful unreachable moon... a thing to gaze at the grace of from afar, try so hard to catch. Make it all your. Your purpose. Steal the moon, Amane. Never let it go. You can do it.

How does it feel for you to be looking at your most precious moon in the eye, only to tell him I hate you. Oh...

A "I hate you" that holds I hate how you always go this way, how you're so fast to decide to give up on yourself, on us, disappear from my life to fill it with darkness and shatter my heart then come back to it to give it a light of hope and give my aching heat a chance of healing by having you close, then try to leave me again and again. It's painful to be left behind over and over again. I can't keep living with that. No matter how hard I try to keep you with me you insist on leaving, my feelings can't reach you no matter what I do. You keep rejecting all my efforts, refuse to understand my feelings. I don't get you. Stupid Tsukasa. You're so unfair. This side of yours, the way you decide things in this matter, this repetitive attitude of yours. I hate it so much. I don't want to play this game of hide and seek any longer. I hate it.

- let's play together like we used to? You said?

I don't want to play that kind of game. I'm sick of it.

If you love me, stop disappearing and leaving me behind. I don't want that. I love you, that's why I want to be with you. I want you here, with me. Always. Forever and ever.

How can Tsukasa see and understand Mitsuba's wish, his deal with Kou, if you're alike you can stay together forever, that's just a copy paste from his and Amane's, but can't understand theirs? Tsukasa.........

Why not shout all these out loud Amane? Might help you both.

He believes with the path he is taking, he is doing the right thing for your sake. Prove the opposite to him so finally we can have the 2 of you shine together.

All there is between you is pure love. Give it the chance to come out and see the light of day. Starting with gentle words coming out from deep down your hearts.

With the right amount of courage, determination, it will shine brighter the stars in the sky one day.

The twins. They are a lot. One powerful force.

May they reach their happy solvation.

****

What a chapter...

As per usual, I might be adding more stuff later.

Thanks for reading.

Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games (2020 - ?)

Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games is a currently 5 volume long ongoing yuri manga series by Ejima Eri. It's an unhinged tale set in an all-girls school where gaming is strictly forbidden, but our main characters, Mitsuki Aya and Yorue Mio, ignore that and game it out anyways! Could the mutual love for 2D fighter games blossom into something more?

(The answer is... yeah, probably! Full review under the cut!)

The writing and plot: 3.5/5

In terms of plot, Young Ladies at the start has very little actual plot, focusing more on gaming as is appropriate! The later volumes introduce a tournament arc and more complicated character relations, which are a welcome addition after getting acquainted to the characters and the mechanics of the game they play, Iron Senpai 4. Did I mention that there's a made up game with all the fleshed out mechanics and character roster of a fighting game? It brings with it a LOT of explanation of game mechanics, which are a fun read if you're even mildly interested in it, but not completely relevant if you're not. Overall, I enjoy the writing!

The characters: 4/5

As is often the case with less plot heavy manga, the characters serve as one of the main pulls to this manga, and they serve their part well! Our main duo has a fun dynamic and individually unique personalities. By unique I actually mean that characters like them don't show up all too often! Aya and Mio are very distinct characters with fun and exaggerated traits to them, but they're still grounded in reality. The rest of the cast is enjoyable as well, and I particularly like Yuu! Oh, and might I mention that in the spirit of True Gamers, the characters are all incredibly intense to varying levels! As my final comment on this category, I'll mention that the character designs are super cute ^^

The yuri: 3.5/5

We're not quite there yet but I know we're getting close to the full yuri experience and ohhhhh I cannot wait! Aya has been a gay mess from the very start, and SPOILERS with an apparent awakening to these feelings, she's becoming more and more of a mess.

Various short segments:

The humor: 4/5, it's a fun manga! The jokes hit most of the time, not that much to say about it.

The art: 5/5, I can't believe I've forgotten to include this segment in my previous reviews! I love how intense the art can be, and the designs of the fighting game characters are so fun!

Conclusion: 3.5/5

I read it all in one go, and I have no regrets! It's very enjoyable for SURE but I hesitate to give it a higher rating before it ends. Go give it a shot though!!

[TL] At your service, Master!

Character(s): Chiaki, Tori

Summary: With Yuzuru away with work, Tori is struggling to look after himself. Luckily, Chiaki is eager to offer his services.

Season: Summer

Location: Studio

Chiaki: (Hm~. It’s time for work, but Himemiya hasn’t shown up yet. Has something troubling happened?)

(...This reminds me of how I used to wait around when I was a part of Rain-bows.)

(But that was because of a lack of communication… Maybe I should double check with the staff just to make sure.)

Tori: Excuse me~! Sorry for being late!

Chiaki: Oh, you’re finally here? I’ve been waiting for you! Himemiya is usually on time, I was worried something had come up.

Tori: Nn~... Something did. In the present tense, I mean.

To be honest, Yuzuru has been away working for a while. Until he comes home, I have to take care of everything myself.

I’ve only just moved into the dorms, and Yuzuru does basically everything for me so I don't know how to do it myself.

If I go home, the servants will take care of it. If everytime Yuzuru is gone I go home, I won’t grow at all.

I don’t know what to do! When I try to iron out the wrinkles in my clothes, the opposite happens and they get creased instead! Why is that?

Uuugh. There’s still 3 more days left. What now…

Chiaki: Fumu, I understand what you’re going through.

If that’s how it is, I’ll stand in for Fushimi…☆

Tori: You? Then, do you have any experience as a servant?

Chiaki: Fuhaha! I have none, of course!

But as a defender of justice, I can’t ignore a person in trouble!

Tori: Huh? Hnn, you said that with confidence, so I’d have high expectations for you~.

Chiaki: No need to worry! Don’t hold back, and leave it to me ☆

Tori: Where is this confidence coming from… Hnng, what should I dooo? I don’t know if I can depend on you, but I can’t do this all alone…

...Fine then. You start tomorrow, ‘kay?

Time: The next morning

Location: Tori and Yuzuru's room

Chiaki: Are you awake, Himemiya? I’m coming in ☆

What a refreshing morning! It’s gonna be a good day!

Tori: Snnrk, snnrk…

Mimimi, mimimi… I can’t eat another bite, Eichi-sama~...♪

Chiaki: Oh. Despite what time he promised he’d be up, he’s still sleeping.

This might be a little painful, but what else can I do… Taaakeee this—!

GooOOOD MORNINNNGGGG ☆

Tori: Hyaaaaah!?

Chiaki: Umu, that worked well! Morning Himemiya ☆

Tori: Uu, I was having a good dream. Lemme sleep some more~...

Chiaki: Don’t hide under the covers. Come out, Himemiya. Getting your body moving will help you wake up!

It’s “Unrivaled ☆ Meteorangers” time[1]! Keep up with me!

Time: 4 minutes and 30 seconds later

Chiaki: …~ ♪

You were able to keep up by copying me! As expected of Himemiya!

Tori: Haa, haa…You made me do the dance for the entire song…

Chiaki: But you’re wide awake now, right? I’m feeling great too ☆

Tori: How are you so lively so early in the morning?

Yeah, I don’t feel like going back to sleep now.

I guess I’ll be grateful. Thank you for waking me up, Morisawa-senpai.

Um, could you leave so I can get changed and wash my face? It’s hard to do that with you watching.

Chiaki: Sure thing! Then, I’ll get started on breakfast!

Location: Kitchen

Chiaki: (White rice, miso soup, some grilled fish…♪)

(Alrightie, this is going good so far! It’s because I happened to find some super-quick recipes for beginners ☆)

(Final part is the tamagoyaki[2]. Now I gotta pour the whisked eggs into the pan…[3])

(Once it’s solidified, I have to roll it up… I have to be careful so I don’t mess up the shape.)

(I think the trick is to not fry it for very long. I’ve got to be quick.)

Tori: …Oh, you’re making Japanese food. Is this the kind of food you like, Morisawa-senpai?

Chiaki: Hello, Himemiya. It’s not about what I like, it’s about what you like.

I’m sure Fushimi makes balanced meals for you, right?

Tori: Uu, yeah that’s true. I want to eat normal food when Yuzuru’s not around.

Chiaki: Fuffuffu. This isn’t all you’ve got, y’know? Open the microwave.

Tori: Microwave?

…Oh, fried potato ♪

Chiaki: It’s hard to say what group potatoes belong to, but these fine vegetables are from the Takamine grocery store.

So these vegetables are super good for you! Make sure you eat them!

Tori: Uwaa ♪. If Yuzuru could see this he’d be frowning, but it doesn’t bother me~.

Chiaki: I’m glad you’re happy. It was worth all this preparation…♪

Speaking of preparation, are you ready to go to school?

Tori: Yup. Because you woke me up, I wasn’t in a hurry.

Chiaki: I see, I see! Don’t forget this as well.

Tori: Nn, you made me a bento? But I was planning on eating in the cafeteria.

I wonder what other things you’ve put in here… Waah.

I know what this is. You’ve made them into cute shapes, right?[4]

Chiaki: Ah. When I was deciding on what sort of bento to make, an old memory came back to me.

When I was a kid, my parents would make this kind of bento for me. It made me really happy, so I thought I’d try to do the same for you.

I haven’t the same skill, and the kinshitamago[5] is burnt, but the fact that it’s misshapen gives it more charm ☆

Tori: ...

…I’m not a kid anymore.

But thank you for doing this for me, Morisawa-senpai.

Chiaki: Fuhaha! Don’t mention it! Eat lots and you’ll get big and strong.

Then, dig in. Since every good day starts with breakfast…☆

like, as in the ryuuseitai song...

japanese rolled omelettes

he’s using a tamagoyakinabi, which is a square pan used specifically to make these egg rolls

he says kyaraben, which is a bento with food decorated to look like cute characters

thin omelette sliced into thin strips

Today is my Bday! Yey! (In my clock is 23:05 so it's still my bday)

And 'cause of that I'd decided to make a list of zodiac signs of twst boys.

Lilia 1/1 Capricorn

Malleus 1/18 Capricorn

Cater 2/4 Aquarius

Azul 2/24 Pisces

Sebek 3/17 Pisces

Vil 4/9 Aries

Ruggie 4/18 Aries

Epel 5/6 Taurus

Silver 5/15 Taurus

Deuce 6/3 Gemini

Kalim 6/25 Cancer

Leona 7/27 Lion (ironic)

Ortho 8/14 Lion

Riddle 8/24 Virgo

Jamil 9/12 Virgo

Ace 9/23 Libra

Jack 10/11 Libra

Trey 10/25 Scorpio

Jade 11/5 Scorpio

Floyd 11/5 Scorpio

Rook 12/2 Sagittarius

Idia 12/18 Sagittarius

And after then I got an idea, what if in twisted wonderland world nobody knows about zodiac signs? Like they have magic they don't need talk with a stars to know a future. But we have MC a chaotic magicless human who crave for chaos. They can read a future, say to u who is ur lover and a lot of things that's they can imagine.

For example.

MC: Ace, please be careful today. Stars says that u can get un trouble if u not be careful in ur words.

Ace: Pff. MC how do u can know what happens in future? You don't have magic.

*few hours later*

Ace: *sits in Riddle's collar*

MC: *looks at him* what did I tell u, huh?

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

Someone: Why does Floyd's mood change so quickly? He was upset about something just a minute ago, and now he is happy.

Ms: *in Floyd's arms* He's a scorpio. A quick change of mood is the first thing written in his natal chart.

Floyd: No Shrimpi~~ I'm not a scorpion I'm eel.

MC: I'm not about it right now Floyd.

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

Epel: *complaining on Vil* I don't understand why Vil-senpai is so stubborn about his words. He'll do anything as long as what he says is true.

MC: It's because he's an Aries. They always stubbornly move towards the goal and will do anything for the sake of their own rightness.

Jack: He's who?

MC: Aries. This is the sign of the zodiac. Sheep in simple terms.

Epel: HA. IT'S EXACTLY HE. *laughs*

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

MC: *lunches with first year* you know what. Ace and Jack share the same zodiac sign. But Ace was born under Venus and Jack was born under Uranus. 'Cause of this, Ace is full of energy, emotional and annoying. And Jack with a gentle character and tries to hide it behind his "formidable look."

Ace: HEY!

Jack: *tsundere mode on* that's not true.

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

MC: Leona, you know what's ironic.

Leona: *wants to sleep but holds on* What

MC: you are half a lion. And the stars say that you are a lion.

Leona: Herbivore just let me sleep.

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

MC: Tsunotaro!

Malleus: What is a child of man?

MC: Do you want me to read your future?

Malleus: Oh? This requires magic and you said that you do not possess it, have you lied to me?

MC: I didn't lie to you I don't have magic, I can read it from the stars

Malleus: oh~ then amuse me

MC: Good. Look.

The part of the Iron Wall who bears the burden of ace and new captain!!

Total pages in guidebook: 2

*AS ALWAYS I’m still learning the language and cannot guarantee complete accuracy!

2012 Stats

Team: Date Tech High School (Class 2-A)

Height / Weight: 184.2cm / 71.5kg

Birthday: 10 November 1995

Position: wing spiker, captain

Siblings: one younger sister

Favorite Food: sour gummies

Current Concern: He has to get his wisdom teeth pulled

Nuts & Bolts: Power 4/5 – Jumping 4/5 – Stamina 3/5 – Game Sense 3/5 – Technique 3/5 – Speed 4/5

Jersey Number: 6 → 2

2018 Stats

Team: VC Date (Municipal Team)

Height / Weight: 186.6cm / 76.5kg

Position: outside hitter

Current Concern: He has to get a filling done on his right molar [bby 🥺]

Note from Sensei: He’s the type to put off dealing with unpleasant things and regret it later!

Nuts & Bolts: Serve 8/10 – Serve Reception 7/10 – Digging 6/10 – Setting 6/10 – Spike 6/10 – Block 8/10

Jersey Number: 6

Ability

Breaking the opponent’s receive formation with his power serve

Both his play and commentary during matches work to pull the entire team. Dateko’s heavy hitter can send out an intense serve with both power and speed, allowing his team to execute the perfect serve & block technique. He’s still uneasy about maintaining control, but it has become Dateko’s newest weapon.

Super intense spikes against opponent blocks

Ever since his second year, he has had a high scoring ability as Dateko’s ace. His skill is a yet underdeveloped, rising potential in battle. Being paired with Koganegawa’s toss, his ability to coordinate is also quite high.

Personality

Lots of cheeky remarks at his senpai’s expense

A problem child who openly acknowledges his own twisted personality and provocative attitude. But despite the jabs, Futakuchi’s senpai respect him. He absolutely hates to lose, and looks on with disdain when he watches other schools in play. [specifically it says he clicks his tongue 🙃]

Caption: Raising his crudeness-level is also a strategy to agitate Kamasaki?! [His dialogue here literally and figuratively reads very tongue-in-cheek. He tends to drop certain syllables and it has a specific tone]

Memorable Quotes

“We’re usually the cocky problem children off the court, so at least during our matches let’s act like good kouhai.” (Chapter 45)

“Doesn’t matter. Age, grade, position, none of that matters once you step onto the court.” (Chapter 121)

“Let’s put pressure on our opponents in various ways! Break their hearts! But be sneaky about it so the refs don’t notice! If we can’t do it in practice, we won’t be able to do it in a game!” (above, Chapter 223)

Caption: Seemingly inspiring his teammates like a captain, but his true intentions…?

Timeline

2012: Shouldering the wills of the third-year students to build a new iron wall!

Futakuchi, who leads the team and is at a loss with his kouhai. At the practice match with Karasuno, by using their bunch read blocking in the new iron wall that they’ve built up, Dateko was able to show their strengths.

2018: The V.League arc

Works for a local energy company, Tsunenaga Seiki Tech [name isn’t actually stated in the guidebook but it was revealed recently 😝] and is an outside hitter for VC Date. Even though he’s now a company employee, he went to the Adlers v. Black Jackals match in Miyagi, together with Aone, who is still his teammate. 💚

Behind closed doors

(@chikawaweek Day 4: Jealousy) | ao3

It’s not that Chika is jealous. Really.

Call it…curiosity. Call it protective instinct. Call it… (Okay, maybe, just maybe, a tiny bit of jealousy. A wee bit.)

But earlier that day, he’d happened to see Satowa and that scruffy-looking criminal psychology professor walking together after class. Satowa looked red in the face, a bit like she was crying. Said scruffy unshaven professor looked, well, scruffy and unshaven, and also a bit protective. And what the fuck, was all that was in Chika’s mind from that moment on.

And earlier that week, Hiro-senpai had been talking about this scruffy Takinami, too. Said he’s really smart, but really perverted. (Okay, weird was what she said, not perverted, but weird has a few interpretations, and perverted is one of them.)

And thus began Chika’s voyage into the 9th floor of the Social Sciences office building. He storms into the Psychology section. Storms into the Criminal Psychology subsection. Storms into the corridor along which #09-28 lies.

How dare he do something with her in a room together. Not even Chika has been in a room together with her, except for the lecture theatre, and except for the library where they’d first met (where Chika had successfully managed to persuade her to skip out on studying for the exam and secretly watch Bleach and eat snacks with her in the library, of all places).

And, try as he might, Chika can’t help but admit that he may have developed more than a slight crush on her. (Not just a wee bit.)

So he’s been devising ways to pluck up his courage to confess to her. But this scruffy unshaven criminal fucker (how ironic that he specialises in Criminal Psychology, ha), dares lay a hand on his to-be girlfriend before he can even turn this strawberry-sweet dream into reality.

Thus, gone is prudence; following closely behind is rationality, both flying up and away, escaping far into the wind. He throws caution to the wind, too, throwing the door wide open -

“What the actual fuck are you doing to my girlfriend!?” Chika just about screams, slamming the door wide open.

A pin-drop silence blooms in the room, which Chika surveys - Takinami Suzuka is seated right beside the window, with Houzuki Satowa opposite him. In between them on the worktable is a small laptop.

”What am I doing?” is Takinami’s slightly strangled-sounding response, voice squeaking a little at the end.

”Your girlfriend?” is Satowa’s equally flabbergasted-sounding response, sounding a little like some head of some yakuza clan responding to some death threat.

Pin-drop silence grows in size.

”…oops,” is all Chika manages after a while, face red as a strawberry.

(That day, Chika learns two things:

Never to recklessly open a door without thinking

Never to recklessly open his mouth without thinking.)

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

“Well, now that you’ve already burst into the room, I hate to burst your bubble, but nothing like what you’ve expected has taken place,” is Takinami’s slightly awkward and very amused explanation. “And we might as well burst open the can of worms for him too, if Satowa doesn’t mind?” Takinami glances at Satowa all-respectfully, seeking approval.

“Fine with me,” she shrugs, slightly reddened at the chain of sudden events.

Chika’s face is nothing but a question mark at this point, so Takinami starts explaining.

“Your girlfriend-”

(“It’s not like that ye-”)

“-is now homeless.”

“What?” is Chika’s eloquent response.

“She has been driven out of her home.”

“WHAT?!” is Chika’s angry and eloquent response.

“Her family appears to have disowned her.”

“WHAT THE FUCK?!” is Chika’s very angry and very eloquent response.

“I happened to notice that she was staying in the college infirmary after hours a bit too often, and also happened to know about the Houzuki household’s affairs…long story.” Takinami coughs. “Anyway, we’re here to check out accommodation options for students near the home, because I have acquaintances working in the real estate sector offering discounted house rental price quotations.” Takinami explains.

Oh. So that’s what they were doing.

“Oh,” Chika scratches his head a bit.

“Yep. And that’s what I was doing to your girlfriend. Making her rent my friends’ affordable apartments. Sorry about that,” Takinami smirks.

“Please stop it,” Satowa buries her face in both palms.

“Thanks for helping me take care of her,” is all Chika says unblinkingly, still processing all the information, too speechless to say further, not remembering or trying or intending to deny anything in that chain of utterances, not at all.

(a huge thank you to all the moderators and contributors behind Chikawa Week!!!)

Yuuki's Halloween costume. She's a witch, of course. ^^

Voice Lines

Summon: It's Halloween night, the night when ghosts, ghouls, and witches come out to play. Hope you're ready for a haunting!

Groovy: Don't stay up too late, now. You might have a run-in with the witch!

Set Home: Boo! Did I scare you? Heehee!

Home Idle 1: My big sister used to dress up for Halloween. I remember when we were kids, she always tried to scare me.

Home Idle 2: Look at this costume! Can you believe the ghosts made this out of old curtains?

Home Idle 3: My favorite candy? I guess I like fruit gummies the best.

Home Login: Happy Halloween! Hope you enjoy it, but don't get scared too much!

Home Idle Groovy: Ironic how witches are known for using magic, and yet I don't have any...at least, I don't think I do.

Home Tap 1: Don't tell Grim, but I'm so happy that he and I have matching costumes. He looks so cute in his little witch hat!

Home Tap 2: Vil-senpai helped with my makeup and my nails. Pretty creepy, huh? My Mom would never let me do this if I were back home.

Home Tap 3: I was surprised when I saw Floyd talking to a little girl so gently! I didn't know he could be so good with little kids! It's actually pretty sweet, isn't it?

Home Tap 4: Tsunotaro sure looks majestic in his dragon costume. Lilia-senpai told me he was very excited about Halloween. I guess I can see why.

Home Tap 5: Hey, be careful! You nearly knocked my hat off!

Home Tap Groovy: Eeheeheeheehee~! How's that? Do you like my witch's cackle? I've been practicing!

10 Moments Showcasing swapped!Saiki and Ritsu’s Brotherly Bond

I am obsessed with sibling love and if you wanted to see snippets of it, here are 10 scenes of swapped!Saiki and Ritsu being the closest siblings in Room of Hyacinth. There are spoilers beyond the read-more up until Chapter 13 (out of 17) unfortunately. Lots of text, and a comic panel at the end!

1. Ritsu is used to swapped!Saiki’s telepathy

My attention wanes as I let the rest of Ritsu’s thoughts merge into the constant, noisy buzzing in my head. I have already become desensitized to the endless whisperings, and twelve years with telepathy, growing in range every year, has allowed me enough skill to pick through them. It’s at least good in helping me not hear thoughts of those close to me. It still takes a bit of focus, since I have to get into a state of - ironically enough - spacing out. Of course, my little brother is used to this by now. No pausing or questions asked. It’s almost psychic how he seems to have picked up on small cues even I’m not aware of. He taps me on the shoulder, picking up the rest of the dishes. “I can do the rest. You go take a bath.” — Kageyama Shigeo (C1: Not Using Pyrokinesis to Start the Fire)

2. And swapped!Saiki is saved by Ritsu’s inner voice

There’s a chime—a sharp, small ripple of sound slicing the dense mud. A transparent thread, bleeding in a pink glow. When I open my eyes, every second is a battle to keep them open. I can sense the back of my hand again and push all my willpower to force its form to clench as tightly as possible. I can’t feel my extremities, but I can feel the tension as I squeeze Ritsu’s hand. I want to black out, to sleep through these overwhelming sensations. But I have to stay with Ritsu. I can’t leave him out here. He must be scared. I’ve put him through something ugly and terrifying again. I’m still too unfocused to understand his thoughts, but his inner voice has been unraveled from the rest. Maybe it’s because we’re brothers or each other’s closest friend, but I can always zero in on it. Ritsu knows this, so he knows talking or yelling can’t help me. All he can do is to call me in his mind — Kageyama Shigeo (C11: Giving Cakes To A God)

3. Hurting Ritsu turns swapped!Saiki into a villain

“Ow, ow, ow!” howls Nendou, his offending hand hoisted up as he did with mine. Except there’s nothing touching him. Only the wrinkles in his sleeves show evidence of a force keeping him in the air. A beastly growl resounds in the chambers of my mind. Nii-san’s teeth are clenched, and his usual serene eyes, bold and alive like the shine of cutting knives Shut up. I don’t even want to hear you scream. I tilt my head at the strangeness of what I’m hearing. Nii-san? As I move my legs, I feel a cold wetness in my pocket. Which rock are you insects skittering out from? Tell me, so I can burn it down to ashes! — Kageyama Ritsu (C5: The Worst Thing to Say Out Loud )

4. ...and he’s a villain that isn’t afraid to kill (he’s 12)

The sky has turned fiery in the sunset with long trail of fluffy clouds drifting by. Because of my prodigal older brother’s mysterious machinations, I ended up watching my first sunset with this person, Nendou Riki, someone from my past who I never expected to meet again. He doesn’t seem to be aware yet that he had survived an attack that would have tragically killed him. It’s for the best. The problem now is resolving this mess. — Saiki Kusuo (C6: What Every Loving Parent Would)

5. swapped!Saiki adores/dotes on his younger brother (and is very obvious about it)

“Well,” I start, considering how to explain it without being technical. “Ritsu is great, so it doesn’t matter.” It’s as simple as it can get, but Miyaike is still confused. “Is Ritsu considered tall in the club?” “No. But since he started back in third grade, he had a lot of experience with taller opponents from facing off with the senpai.” “He must have a lot of experience sparring with you,” says Takahara-san. “No,” I answer. “I don’t want to hurt Ritsu.” Miyaike arcs a brow, smirking. “It’s not supposed to hurt.” “Well.” I blow a puff of air, somewhat annoyed. “Then I don’t feel like it.” — Kageyama Shigeo (C10: It’s an A+++ Photo )

6. ...but also finds him terrifying when angered

Ritsu doesn’t look very happy to be here. On top of waking up early and standing in long lines in the shrine, he’s been spending all day and night studying as finals draw in. I keep telling him he’ll be fine without exerting so much effort, but even I, the strongest person in the planet, started to feel like something dangerous would awaken if I continued on. — Kageyama Shigeo (C4: A Cause of Unhappiness)

7. Ritsu won’t stand for slander on his older brother - even from their own mom

“Yeah, sure… Besides,” says Ritsu, smiling as he realizes he can seize the opportunity to turn this around. “I can’t have a fan club first before Nii-san. It doesn’t make sense.” My little brother can be so silly at times. “I don’t need something so inane….” “That’s impossible,” says Mom bluntly. “We’re talking about Shige.” Ritsu gapes in disbelief. Slowly, he collects himself. “Yes, we are talking about Nii-san. An incredibly talented person.” “Yes, yes, that person,” jests Mom. “I know you look up to your brother, but Shige’s always been shy. You can’t be popular if you’re shy.” I can hear Ritsu coming up with five different arguments, but he settles for the sharpest jab. I don’t know where Ritsu gets the courage to talk to our parents like this. “What would you know? Are you going to tell us you were the most popular girl in school back in your days?” — Kageyama Shigeo (C10: It’s an A+++ Photo )

8. ... and does not hesitate to use his charm to provide him with more crepes

They even have a sign for it: 250 of their bestseller crepes a day, strictly one per person only. Ritsu addresses this next. "Of course, you can bring me along any time. I can even get you a third." Dad had been with him when he brought home two, so I'd assumed he got it with his help. Had he done it without Dad? Did he say the second extra was for his cute little sister back home? "It's a popular store for couples, so all I did was to make sure they see me talking to a girl and act like I'm buying for the two of us." I turn to stare at him. "What? I bet plenty of other people do it too." Flirting with a random girl to get an extra crepe? Somehow, I doubt that. — Kageyama Shigeo (C12: Always Blame the Rain)

9. They have secret telepathic conversations all the time

A pause. Arataka takes another glance at the mirror, and as he suspected, the brothers are wordlessly communicating with a look. They are doing their utmost not to speak to one another. He wants to reassure them they can have a conversation without including him, but calling attention to it may only discourage them. "Nii-san isn't feeling well, so - um - he may sound succinct." "Hmm. I see." Arataka is bemused at what made the younger brother speak up. "It doesn't bother me. But, more importantly, Shigeo-kun, maybe you should lay off the pudding until you get home." "Can I have one last cup?" "One last," he allows. "How many is that?" Plastic being peeled away scratches from the back. "Six," answers Ritsu-kun, picking an empty cup. "Nii-san? This isn't pudding. It's coffee jelly." "Oh, my bad," says Arataka. "You don't like coffee," goes Ritsu-kun, almost like an accusation. "Are you okay?" Shigeo-kun doesn't reply. "There's sugar…" Ritsu-kun's voice fades and the conversation ends without another word. — Reigen Arataka (C13: Almost Out of Tokyo)

10. And, of course, they have “sibling fights” (aka Ritsu’s patience is tested)

As soon as he finishes the sentence, a scuffle breaks out. Takahara-san almost falls over as Ritsu gets into a stance and slams his elbow onto my rib cage, having perfectly predicted my reaction. That blow is serious. I catch Ritsu glowering darkly my way. No words, just a look that can absolutely kill. Is it enough to convince me to stop? Of course not. Some things are worth dying for. I grab the mic with my superior, older brother arm. Ritsu, achieving zen, is not fazed by my decisiveness and makes a smooth pass behind him. "Mishima-san!" "Huh? Me? Huh? Why?" Mishima-san scrambles to her feet and, with wide, confused eyes, successfully catches the mic like a pro baseball player. Takahagara-san gasps, impressed. You fool. You just made it easier for me, and you even picked the only person in the room who would understand how important this is. Mishima-san lets out a shrill, mouse-like "eek!" as I lock my target on her. Then, before I can make another move, I fly. The room spins, and before I can brute force a counter, it turns upside down, and I'm lying on the floor on my back. — Kageyama Shigeo (C12: Always Blame the Rain)

Japanese

I have to catch a train in 4 hours and I'll be laptopless till Monday so I'm going to make this quick.

Admittedly, I've only watched a relatively few anime, but I have an interest in linguistics, so I pay a little attention to the language and its intricacies. And from my experience, Japanese is wildly different from other languages I know somewhat (it's only 2 Indo-Aryan, a Dravidian, and 3 Germanic, so my sample size is tiny :P). For one, there's a weird amount of first person pronouns. From what I know there's (I'm sorry I have no idea how Japanese scripture works I'm just gonna use romanizations) "Watakushi" which is the most formal. "Watashi" which is formal, for men. Women use it in casual context too. "Ore" (read phonetically like most of these, o-ray, not as in iron ore) is used by men and more informal. "Boku" is informally used by male people of all ages, and if used by female peeps, it has tomboyish or feminist connotations. There are apparently more but these are the ones I've seen so far. There are also second person pronouns, but in formal contexts, name + honorifics is used depending on the other person's status. In casual contexts it's common to use name + honorific too, but pronouns exist. "Anata" (or shortened to "anta") is the closest to the English "you", used with friends, or someone whose name you don't know or, interestingly, used by women to address their husbands, somewhat like "dear". "Omae" is more informal, used alongside "ore", and as the male equivalent of "anata" in the latter sense. "Kimi" has the formality of "boku". "Temē" is used in confrontational contexts, like "you" in "you @#$!%@#$" (channeling the comic book nerd 😎). You can also pluralise these pronouns with suffixes like "-tachi" e.g. "anatatachi" or "watashitachi". Third person pronouns are mostly gender neutral which was kind of a surprise to me considering how gendered the other pronouns were. There's "ano kata" which is very formal, "ano hito" which is informal. Funnily, there's "kanojo" which means "she" as was created as an equivalent to the female pronouns in European languages and can also mean "girlfriend", and "kare", which literally means "that one" and "he"/"she"/"it" in classical Japanese and can also mean "boyfriend". I don't speak Japanese so I can't comment on how common it is, but it in the anime that I've watched I've maybe heard the gendered ones like 2 or 3 times.

Honorifics, as I mentioned earlier, are used pretty commonly.

"-San" equates to Mr./Ms./Mx.

"-Sama" is for higher status people.

"-Kun" is a semi-formal honorific used for men usually of same or younger age.

"-Chan" is used for girls, small children, friends and lovers.

"-Tan" is used for babies and uh... moe anthropomorphisms??? idk how to describe it just check it out for yourself.

"Senpai" is for seniors.

"Sensei" is for teachers.

What else...? Oh yes, insults, the cornerstone of every language. "Baka" famously means "idiot", "kuso" with a really short u means "damn" or "shit". Yeah that's all I know. Although, you can add "-yaro" to either word to increase the severity. Also, Levi Ackermann from Attack On Titan calls Hange Zöe "kuso-megane" which is translated as "four-eyes" but literally means "shit-glasses" because they look like this.

I love their relationship so much 😭.

The word "wa" stands in for "is" and "are" and "am" and used in conjunction with "desu" as in "watashi wa Alia desu".

"No" means "of" as in "Imouto no ane" (Little sister's older sister, also the name of a Tatsuki Fujimoto manga that I would highly advice against reading but I'm gonna mention anyway because I'm in love with Fujimoto.)

Okay, that's it, you know all the Japanese I know now, bye gotta go!

5th Day - omen (Scene 4)

"――――――――" No, this is an important matter. I can't let other people handle it when it was my idea in the first place. It's not in good faith if I don't ask her myself.

…Oh. I hear the doorbell. "Excuse me." I hear Sakura's voice from the entrance. I guess I should strike while the iron's hot and go ask her right now.

"Oh, hello, Senpai. Are you about to cook dinner?" "Yeah. I'm going to cook by myself today, so you can relax. But please look after Fuji-Nee. She lost confidence in herself because Saber beat her mercilessly. Try to finish her off and play something like Othello with her."

"Oh, that's terrible, Senpai. Today was a hard day for Fujimura-Sensei." "…Oh yeah, she did mention something about that. Then play shogi with her."

"Shogi, huh? Okay, Fujimura-Sensei is the master at that. She beats me even when she gives me a handicap."

Sakura's in a good mood. Her bruise appears to be healing, and her earlier gloominess seems to have disappeared. Yeah, this is a good time to ask.

"So, Sakura. I know it's a bit sudden, but could you stay over at my place starting tonight?" "Huh――――? Stay over at your place…?" "I'm telling you not to go back to the Matou household for a while. Let's see… I want you to stay over for like a week. Oh, I already got Fuji-Nee's approval."

"……" Sakura's face stiffens. She stares at me, as if peering into my mind.

"―――I know I'm being unreasonable. But I'll have you stay over no matter what. I don't care what you think of me, but please stay at my place for a while."

"――――――――" Sakura doesn't answer. She stares at me silently…

"――――Why is that?" …And then asks me that question.

"……" I can't tell her why. I can't tell her that Shinji's a Master, and anything else would just be a lie. Everyone has their secrets. I'm a guy, so I have many secrets I can't tell Fuji-Nee or Sakura.

…There are things you just can't say, not even to the people most important to you. But that's also why I can't lie. Sakura's an important family member to me, so I can't lie to her.

"……" The air feels like it's freezing over. The silence seems to last forever, and Sakura hangs her head awkwardly. I put my stupid brain to work, trying to come up with something to say.

"Do I really have to tell you, Sakura?" She doesn't respond. Instead, she just looks at me with a concerned expression. "…Is it because you're worried about me?" And she clearly states this.

"―――Yeah, I'm worried about you. It'll help me out if you stay here." …Her long hair sways. Sakura nods in response… …She answers not with her words, but with a brilliant smile.

After eating dinner, one only needs to take a bath and go to sleep. This is common knowledge, barely worthy of mention. So there's no problem. Something so mundane couldn't possibly cause a problem.

But…

"…Um, Fujimura-Sensei. I need to discuss something with you…" "What is it? Go ahead and ask me." "Um… Well……"

"Oh, right. You need something to change into. Hmm, I guess there are school uniforms at my place. I can give you some of my clothes if you don't mind. Oh, or would you rather go to your place to get some clothes?" "…No, I would rather not go home, since I wouldn't be able to come back here. Um, about Nii-san…"

"Oh, that's all right. I just called your place and got your grandfather's permission. He said he doesn't mind having you over at my place since I'm a teacher." "R-Really!? Then I can really stay over here!?" "Yup. So, about your change of clothes… you don't mind using my pajamas, right? Oh, do you want to use the same underwear too?"

"Oh… No, um… I think your bra would be too tight on me…" "Hm. Yeah, you have big boobs. ……………Give me some of that." "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa! What are you doing, Sensei!?" "Ahahahahaha, I'm just joking. …But this is troubling. I don't have a bra your size. Are you the kind that keeps your bra on when you sleep?"

"Uh… um, yes." "Yeah, people with big boobs tend to do that. But isn't it uncomfortable?" "…I-It is, but what you do is………"

"I see, I see! It sure is good to be young! Then I'll get the guys at my place to buy some for you by tomorrow morning. So don't worry, just go ahead and take your bath." "……"

"――――――――!" S-So why are you two having this conversation right in front of me!? I'm a guy! If you two talk about that, I won't even be able to look at Sakura without thinking…

"Ohhh? Why the red face, Shirou? Are you curious about what Sakura-chan had to say?" "――――! H-Heh, what are you talking about? It's a secret between you two. I didn't hear it, and I'm not curious!"

"Oh, really? Then I'll give you an interesting piece of info. Sakura-chan is an 85. She's an E-cup. Isn't it amazing? It's 13 centimeters bigger than last year. I bet you noticed it too. How sexy her body is and how much you want to touch her."

"Y-You――――!" "F-Fujimura-Sensei――――! I told you in secret so that he wouldn't hear it!! Why are you telling him like that!?"

"Huh? Huh? Kyaaaaa!?"

"You――――idiot, Fuji-Nee…" I finish my thought in a whisper. Fuji-Nee falls to Sakura's counterattack. Sakura's face is red, and she is trying to cover Fuji-Nee's mouth.

…Sakura… I understand wanting to prevent Fuji-Nee from talking, but if you keep this up, you'll kill her…

"Haa, haa, haa―――wow, I didn't know you were that strong, Sakura-chan. I'm surprised that you came to stop my breath right away." "Geez! Please contemplate your actions, Fujimura-Sensei!" Sakura gets away from Fuji-Nee. ――――Naturally… Our eyes meet.

"Oh." "――――Ehh, um, the towel's in the dressing room." "O-Okay…! Um excuse me for a while, Senpai…!"

Sakura hurries out to the hallway. "Oh――――" But if she runs like that…

"Ow… I hit my nose……" …I wanted to warn her that she'd fall… …But she exceeds my expectations and runs straight into the wall.

"Are you all right, Sakura!?" Was she that eager to get away? "Yeah, I'm all right. I'm fine, so I'm going to go take a bath." Sakura disappears into the hallway.

"――――Phew." With Sakura gone, I relax. …As tense as things were getting, I would've had to flee the room in embarrassment if she hadn't left first.

"――――Hah." "…What? Go ahead and say it if you want to say something, you failure of a teacher."

"Noooothing. I'm just thinking how hard it must be for Sakura-chan. I bet Sakura-chan was even more embarrassed in front of you."

"I-I'm not blushing! Hey, Sakura is like a family member to me. She's cooked for me and we've eaten together for a long time! I-I'd be a failure as her Senpai if I were embarrassed!"

"Oh, so you don't want to be a failure?" "Of course not. Sakura is Shinji's sister. If I'm having a friend's sister over, I have to take care of her."

"What…? Oh, I see now. I just thought you were dense, but that's part of it too, huh?" Fuji-Nee sighs. This is troubling.

"Sakura-chan has a lot of trouble ahead of her." "Hey, where are you going?" "I'm going to the dressing room. I have to go get Sakura-chan some change of clothes. You can go to the outbuilding and prepare a room for her. Get her some new sheets, okay?" Fuji-Nee leaves after giving me an order.

"…Heh. Stay here, Saber. I'm going to go prepare the guest room." I leave after seeing Saber nod.

I make the bed and check the furniture. I decided to have Sakura use a guest room that isn't normally used. This room is more suited to her, and the door can be locked. …Sakura's a girl, so that should be better for her.

"…Well, it's not like Fuji-Nee made me choose this room." I make the bed. This bed has never been used. The moment I think that Sakura will sleep in this bed tonight…

'――――I bet you noticed it too.'

"――――!" …Indecent thoughts fill my head.

"D-Don't be stupid! I―――" …I already know that, without being told. I've seen Sakura hit puberty, getting more beautiful by the day. It was a good thing, but I also persuaded myself not to notice it. I've always told myself that she's Shinji's sister and that she only comes to cook for me because she feels guilty about what Shinji did.

"…It's been a year and a half, hasn't it? It's nothing Sakura should care about." The accident that caused me to quit the archery club… I injured my shoulder, he complained about the burn, and I took the opportunity to leave the club. …And Sakura proposed to help me out until my injury healed.

She was like a child back then. She waited for me in front of my house one day, but it took two hours of awkward silence before she worked up the courage to say she wanted to help me.

"―――That shy Sakura is the rising star of the archery club now. Man, how a person can change."

Sakura is cheerful now. I first met her four years ago when I went to Shinji's house after getting to know him.

She was quiet and had a habit of hiding her face with her hair. …Well, she still is, but she was really lifeless back then. She always looked depressed and would just absent-mindedly stand there. Considering that, it's wonderful to see how Sakura is doing now. It relieves me to see Sakura, the girl who only used to look downcast, smile.

'I bet you noticed it too. How sexy her body is, how much you want to touch her.'

"――――――――" …I don't really know. She was always just my underclassman. But recently, that changed. …I don't know if it happened recently or if I only started to notice it just now. ―――Or… Was she so close to me that I didn't have to notice?

"…Damn. It's been peaceful until now. So why…" Why is my mind going crazy from just having Sakura stay over? I'm being inconsiderate of her. I'll finish cleaning and show her to her room――――

"Huh? Where's Sakura, Saber?" "I do not know. She is not here yet, so I would assume she is still in the bath." "…? But it's been an hour already."

…Well, perhaps she takes long baths. After all, she has more places to wash――――

"―――! Stop, stop, stop…! Don't imagine indecent things!" I shake my head and sit down at the table. I pour myself some tea and drink it.

"――――Phew." I shake off the image in my head and relax. …Then. "Shirou. Does Sakura have bad eyesight?" Saber asks me a strange question.

"…? No, Sakura has good eyesight. I think she has 1.5 vision." "I see. She often runs into walls, so I was worried that she might have bad vision."

"Oh, I see. Thanks for worrying, but Sakura's fine. She's clumsy now because she's tired. She's usually more reliable than me."

"I hope so. …But even in that case, it is a problem if she is tired enough to mistake the wall for a door. This is only my personal opinion, but I believe it was not caused by fatigue."

"――――――――" That's a very natural conclusion. Even if you're tired, you still shouldn't be running into walls.

"……" Where is Sakura anyway? Even if she's taking a bath, an hour is too long. I――――
