Shuu was beyond excited to get invited to another event. And a Secret Santa? Such a fun event idea! Shuu was surprised to see that he was assigned to give Alice Shiroka from the Nakono division a gift, but he was never the type to back down from a challenge. So, after a very thorough research session, Shuu settled on gifting…

A handmade needlebook! Inside were some ordinary sewing materials like a spool of thread, a fancy rose gold embroidery scissor, and some needles that also appeared custom-made with little animals and sweets made of clay glued at the ends. Attached to the package, a cute envelope covered in equally cutesy stickers was included. Inside, the letter covered in even more stickers read:

‘Merry Christmas! If you celebrate it that is, but if not then, happy holiday!! ꜂₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎꜄

We don’t know each other well, but I did my best to learn about you so that I could give you a nice present. So I got my little sisters to help me learn to make this little needlebook! It’s a convenient way to hold onto your sewing stuff on the go! =͟͟͞͞(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧

I made sure to make it look extra cute and pretty. Plus, my little sister Ichigo thought it would be cute if I made some little guide needle animals. I wanted to add some extra though and made a tiny little cupcake. Sculpting is super duper hard! ε-(ｰдｰ)

Anyways, I hope you like it! And I hope you had as much fun as I did coming up with gift ideas! Now… Bye bye!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡’

my first secret santa ask of the day! yippee!

Alice let out a small chuckle whilst holding the needle book in her hands.

“ Oh, these needles are adorable! I can tell this person truly put a lot of effort into this needle book. Although, sewing isn’t really a part of my design process…Well, there’s a first time for everything I suppose. I hope I’ll be able to use this whilst designing..”

Alice then opened the sticker covered letter.

“ well, this person sure does like stickers! I wish I knew who they were, so I could thank them properly. Perhaps, the day will come when our divisions eventually cross paths, then, I’ll be able to give them a proper thank you..”

thank you for the gift! 🎄

Creo tomaré Tumblr como una especie de diario sobre mis dibujos, escritos o yo que se.

I leave some practice drawings... Si son de una sola capa, bueno de dos capaz.

The following morning after Kaoru's birthday, a letter slipped through the front door. Neither the receiving nor the return address were on the envelope, but underneath all the cutesy doodles and stickers, it appeared to be addressed to Kaoru.

Opening the envelope, a cute handmade card was revealed. Flipping it apart, revealed a lengthy letter, along with two tickets to an event.

"Happy birthday Kao-chan! Hope you had a great birthday yesterday! ♪(۶๑•̀ᴗ•́)۶┌iiii┐

I would have come over to deliver this and give you a big ol hug! But between these weird cases and this stalker problem I've been having, it would be best not to come near your place. I can't let my problems plague you and your team! Not like I won't see you soon, right? We should check out a café in Chiyoda together! Ryu-chan was telling me about the owl café, but I think the Final Fantasy café looks much prettier! ( ｰ̀εｰ́ )

But you see the concert tickets? They're for the Miku Symphony! I know there's two seats, but I want you to invite someone else while I deal with my annoying situation. Take Kan-chan, Yu-chan, or maybe even that mystery person A.D.A. keeping mentioning? You should probably pay better attention to the emails that you have been letting that A.I. auto reply to me. It gets chatty sometimes. Not like I'm being nosey ehehe...(×_×)⌒☆

Don't blame A.D.A.!

Shuu ♪"

"A.D.A…have you been telling Shuu about my love life?" Kaoru questioned.

"Oh, just a little detail here and there." A.D.A admitted without any hint of shame.

"Y-y-you…." Kaoru sputtered, her cheeks turning a bright red at the thought of one of her friends getting gossip from A.D.A.

"If it makes you feel better, Kaoru Shuu's love life is very interesting right now."

"Wait, what?"

"It appears that 2 individuals are vying for Shuu's affections. I will admit, though, their methods are a bit…unique." A.D.A hummed.

A.D.A pulled up a file showing Kaoru all the information she had gathered on Shuu's love life. Quickly reading it through, Kaoru burst into laughter as she realized what was happening.

"Hahaha! Shuu got himself stuck in a love triangle and with 2 yanderes even! Oh, this is too good to be true! I know I should probably be worried, but this is just too funny!"

Thank you for the gift!

Jack’s Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

“Pfft, this is the man that Mr. Tetsumasu is worrying his head over? He never fails to amuse me… And no, I have no real connection or concern over him personally. I believe its his mother that is a different story. Ryuko Umemoto should be fine… Unless if his gangster mentality gets him into trouble he should not be involved in.”

Maki Umemoto

“It’s hard to imagine that he was the entire reason Kaho had abandoned her duty… Oh, excuse me. He is, like his brother? Unimportant. His duty to teach people about history is admirable at least. Goodness knows all the things that have happened in the past few decades… It’s men like him that help us remember, so that hopefully we won’t repeat our past mistakes. You could say I’m trying to do the same as well.”

Shuu Edogawa

“The detective… I only got close to Mr. Edogawa since Iseri spoke so highly of his new apprentice. Which I admit, I was quick to trust him too when he found my young master so easily and at the exact moment he was in danger. So when I hired him to follow up on some murmurs on my-how do I say…? The ‘target’ I was assigned to recover. I trusted him to help me find him while I juggled with my new task with the Kamiyama family. Problem is, it got recruited into the D.R.B. unexpectedly. That, and the detective is much too friendly. The imbecile got too close to the target and now they’re becoming fast friends. Because of that, I had to end our contract early for his own safety. I refuse to let anymore people get hurt because of hi… I-I mean it. Get hurt because of it.”

Sazanka Zombeez

“It’s an interesting mix to see the children of someone I’ve only heard about teaming with a detective I have done business with. I may have to worry about Mr. Edogawa, in case he knows too much about me and my work. Hopefully he isn’t so cowardly, as to bring in my secrets into a rap battle… Although I’m sure he might be desperate to help his team win over my own responsibilities and feelings.”

[suginami-division]

I do think the dynamic of @kagoshima-division's Tetsuya having a crush on Shuu in his crossdressing outfit while being completely distrusting of Shuu in his normal clothes is really funny. But honestly its the one thing stopping them from being together while @kobedivision's Kaiji and @katsushika-division's Touya literally keep trapping Shuu into situations.

Incomplete character correlation diagram! Until I finish the fourth team, which yeah, their color is gonna be gray, this is going to be a WIP. But with three fucking teams and a secondary Chuohku team, I gotta start posting now. (´∀｀；)

I would expound on all the relationships, but I'm gonna hold that for when I finally debut my last team. If you're curious, do check out my old chart in the link HERE and HERE. Shows the detailed dynamics between my @toyama-division and @suginami-division teams, since they're direct rivals. :^)

Kai's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

"I've only had one encounter with this guy in the past, and that was one encounter too many. It was about a year after we had just opened Gypsy's Palace. This guy was part of a Yakuza gang, and they came here to Roppongi to file a "complaint" with our club. Apparently, because it was so popular, it was reaching people as far as the city of Suginami, which they didn't like, apparently. So, to "compensate" them, they either wanted us to close down for a few days, or have some of their men work as security. ...Really? Threatening me and mine in our own establishment? And here I thought things like this only happened in America!"

"I told them that we would do neither of those options, which they didn't like. But before things could get to hairy, my wife phoned the police. The leader of the group mentioned this wasn't over, and he and his boys ran off. Over the next few weeks, they apparently came around here to Roppongi to start some mess. And more often than not, I saw this guy in the group. They thought they were being smart intimidating us, but they failed to realize just how popular Gypsy's Palace is. A lot of folks around here weren't happy to see their favorite nightclub in so much trouble, so when they came around here the following week, they weren't expecting a bunch of us to actually fight back. After seeing us all in front of our club ready to throw down, I guess they figured this was more trouble than it was worth and left."

"I hadn't seen this guy for years after that, but wouldn't you know it? I happened to meet him one day when an agency asked me to make some songs for an animated TV series. Apparently, he had put his life as a thug behind him and was now working as an animator. If I had a sense of humor, I'd have certainly laughed at that. I told him while I still wasn't happy for the mess he and his "friends" gave my wife's club a few years ago, I said I was willing to bury the hatchet with him so long as he didn't do something like that again and kept that temper of his under control. He didn't like being told what to do, but eventually agreed."

"So for that reminder of time, we worked in the studio together, though in different parts of it. Despite his horrid disposition, he had his moments of politeness. He even came to me once after a recording session and stated the music for one of the battle scenes was quite good, which I thanked him for. The guy can be quite civil when he wants to be. If he does something with his attitude, he'd be an even better person."

Maki Umemoto

"If it weren't for the fact that he and his younger brother share the same last name, I'd have never thought that they were related. ...Though I guess them sharing the same facial features should have been a hint. After all, Japanese with pale white hair isn't exactly a common sight. I know there's him, his brother, Samatoki, that young Criss girl from Akihabara, and... unless I'm mistaken, I believe that that's all of the well-known ones."

"As for the man, himself, I know little about him. He serves as one of Zakari's teachers, but other than that, I know little else. He seems to be a stark contrast to his brother, though. Not really surprising since siblings rarely have anything in common save the same parent(s). If you don't believe me, look no further than me and my sister."

Shuu Edogawa

"Investigator Shuu?" *Sighs* "Yes, I know of him personally, as does my wife. How exactly? Our security caught him skulking and sneaking around the club on more than one occasion once. Apparently, he was on a case where a mother had hired him to find and bring home her wayward daughter after she had ran away from home to live with her boyfriend. When we asked what they had to do with him snooping around, apparently it was cause the girl and her boyfriend spent much of their time here. I didn't really care about the details, to be honest. I just wanted the guy out of my club so I could get back to work. Eventually, my wife settled it and that was that. I've not seen him inside the club since."

Sazanka Zombeez

"...Not to be rude, but words fail me with this team. A former Yakuza-turned-animator, a history professor who serves as one of my son's teachers, and a private investigator. A very mix-matched rap team, wouldn't you agree? ...Still, I suppose there are worse teams out there. I don't know how much of a threat they'll be, but... well, we'll wait and see, I guess."

Mina's Thoughts on Suginami Division

Ryuko Umemoto

"I've never met this individual before, but apparently he works as an animator, making animated shows or something. I wouldn't really know anything about that since I rarely watch television. I'd rather be curled up on a chair or a couch with a book. I think Yorii may have worked with him at some point. Unsurprisingly, Yorii managed to piss him off, with his immature behavior. *Sighs* When will he grow up already..."

Maki Umemoto

"Professor... Umemoto? He's participating in this tournament, as well? I must say, that's quite a surprise, but at the same time, I'm not really all that surprised. Umemoto-sensei is a good teacher, but... he tends to get a bit nervous when he's speaking in front of a large number of people. His behavior reminds me of another teacher of mine. I wonder if this is a trait with most Japanese teachers..."

"But anyway, Umemoto-sensei, as stated, is a good teacher. When he's truly passionate about something, he tends to ignore his fears and speak with a fervor you don't see in most teachers. ...I've noticed on occasion that he tends to act like this when it comes to people in power or the government. I only hope his words don't get him in trouble. I've not been on Earth long, but from what I've observed, most people don't appreciate when you badmouth them..."

Shuu Edogawa

"I met this young man recently, though our meeting was kind of brief. I was skulking throughout Suginami when I spotted this strangely dressed man running from a group of thugs. They had cornered him in an alleyway and from the looks of them, they were planning on doing something... awful to him. So, I decided to head down and help him. Truthfully, I was just hungry. I think all the excitement must have got to him cause after I was done "eating", I looked back and saw that he had fainted. I could have fed from him too, but I was already full, so I left him there. I'm glad he's okay, but he should bring some protection if his work involves thugs and such."

山茶花 Zombeez

"I have to wonder why exactly a team would name themselves after a brainless undead. I'm not sure if the 'Sazanka' part adds or diminishes to the effectiveness of the name. Regardless, I have to wonder why this team is entering, much like the Toyama team. I wonder if both of them are related somehow. It's something to keep an ear and an eye out for, at any rate."
