♠️♥️High Card Short Story 1 “Mint Soda and Cafe au Lait Float”♦️♣️ (3/3)

Once we are done with work, let’s head out to our favorite pub, “Crazy 8”~

Crazy 8 was a long-established pub located right next to the Old Maid branch of Pinochle Automobiles. Rumors had it that they had been in business for nearly 30 years.

The dimly lit interior was fully furnished with wood. The counter was gold-plated, reflecting the light. It gave off the atmosphere of an authentic Irish pub. Behind the counter, a neon lamp in the shape of the pub’s name glimmered.

“Yahoo, Master. I’ll have my usual ♪”

Chris rested his elbow on the counter, leaning forward as he called out to the manager of the pub on the opposite side. His name was Douglas.

“It’s you guys again.”

Douglas had a muscular build and cleanly shaved head, as well as an intimidating air about him.

“Even if you said that, Master, I’m sure that you’re happy to see us, your dear regulars, turning up often around here~ By the way, Finn, what are you having?”

“Beer.”

“You’re underage! Order something non-alcoholic!”

“Just kidding. I’ll have my usual soda.”

The bartender didn’t give a reply, but he immediately turned and walked away to start preparing our orders. Chris, who had picked a high stool to sit in, crossed his slender legs as he waited. I sat down next to him.

“Finn, are you hurt anywhere?”

“Oh. My fist hurt a bit from when I packed those punches, but it was no big deal. Shouldn’t I be asking about how you’re doing instead?”

“Not at all ♪ I don’t even need to eat my Fudgees.”

After a moment, two coasters were being slide out onto the counter. And then, a glass filled up to the brim was put on each of them.

“You guys should not come here in the first place if you’re not going to drink alcohol.”

That said, Douglas placed Chris’ favorite drink, the cafe au lait float, in front of the latter, before turning his back on Chris instantly and without courtesy.

“Master, even if you’re spitting such mean words, you’re always giving us freebies. For instance, the float is bigger than usual today. Isn’t it amazing that he never made a big deal out of these kind gestures~”

Chris put his thin lips against the straw and began sipping. “Hn~ you see, it is similar to Vietnamese coffee, in the sense that it has condensed milk poured in. Definitely rich in calories~”

“Ew, it’s like you’re piling something sweet on top of something even sweeter.”

I stuck my tongue out in digust, frowning. As I was about to sip on my own drink, it suddenly came to my attention. In the soda, there were a number of tiny leaves floating around. Furthermore, a slice of lime was stuck at the rim of the glass.

“What is this? Isn’t it different from what I asked for?”

“Mint, huh. Then it must be virgin mojito. This is another special service from the Master, so make sure to drink it gratefully.”

“Vir… what was that? But I, hate veggies. Including greeneries, leaves, and the like.”

“Mint is not a veggie, though.”

“I see. Fine, I’ll try to drink it, why not, I’ll try.”

I put the straw in my mouth while stealing a glance at Master. His back remained turned on us as he was wiping on a glass. It followed that he turned on the TV installed near the ceiling using a remote control.

“Mnn! Who could’ve guessed that this drink tastes absurdly good?! Thanks a bunch, Master!”

With his gaze fixed on the TV, Master resumed wiping on the glass using a towel. Meanwhile, I downed my whole glass of mint soda in one gulp, slurping it noisily up to its final drops.

“Seconds, please!”

“Keep your pace slow.”

“Bossy, ain’t ya? I can drink however much I want.”

“Gah, what an insolent brat. Well, whatever. Speaking of, you did a great job today. Even though you claimed that you were simply doing it as a hobby, I have to admit that you’ve got some skills in boxing.”

“Our opponents were just lacking. I could say the same about you, I mean, you were the one displaying that flashy combination of Muay Thai and god-knows what other martial art techniques.”

“I was somewhat forced to learn them after I joined Pinochle, that’s all there is to it. Afterall, I’d rather not become drenched in sweat.”

“Eh, but you should absolutely teach me sometime.”

“Did I hear that right, are you looking forward to get all sweaty with me?”

“You’re being creepy again.”

“Reporting from Gibbs Street, earlier this afternoon…”

Interrupting our conversation, the voice of a reporter blared out from the TV, dropping the name of a street which sounded familiar. It also seemed to grab Chris’ attention, as he immediately spun on his high stool to get a better view of the TV.

“An incident just occured in which a group of mafia were attacked by unknown assailants. According to the police who arrived at the scene, someone is believed to have intervened in a drug transaction between the mafia. The items were stolen from a museum, with the market price of—”

“…”

“…”

Chris and I stared at each other with wide eyes.

“Um, Chris……. isn’t this a bad sign? But we won’t be showing up on the headlines, will we?”

“High Card” was a secret organization operating under Pincochle Corporation. The true identities of its members must never be revealed to the general public, and anyone who’s not involved in the business was forbidden from knowing the existence of X-playing cards.

Tiredly, Chris laid his wrist across his forehead, sighing.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t expect that gem to possess such a high value.”

“I-I didn’t do anything, I swear! It’s their own fault!”

“Finn, we’re completely innocent. We don’t know anything. We didn’t do anything. Isn’t that so?”

True, true. I rapidly nodded in agreement.

“I will submit my report to jii-san and tell him that we were not involved in anything. And then I’ll call it a day and go home right away. It would take time, but this whole incident would get swept under the carpet, eventually. Uh, and, just for the record, do not ever let Leo catch a wind about this.”

“…Sounds like it’s gonna be a big pain in the ass.”

“I hope that would solve the problem. For now, fingers crossed…”

Chris raised his glass of cafe au lait float. I copied his movement with my own refilled glass of mint soda.

“Good work today…….”

When we clinked our glass together, both of our hands were still shaking so pathetically that a clattering sound could be heard.

TL notes: I’m in no way a professional translator so if you find any mistakes, please do not hesitate to inform me right away. I love the High Card gang and I found it very unfortunate that while it is meant to be a multimedia project, I can’t seem to find the translated versions of any materials (beside the anime) anywhere (if this is against copyright, I will take it down). Hopefully this small TL would help international viewers gain better understanding of HC universe and characters. The author of these SS himself said that he hoped fans would have their “so that’s what it is!” moments when they watch the anime after reading his short stories. So with that in mind, let’s enjoy High Card together~

...... YESSSSS. YES PLEASE. I NEED THIS SCENE AND I NEED IT NOW! A fluffy little dress up scene to set off all this angst

Poor Rachel recognizing her errors and yet unable to change as of yet~ i hope she'll get better at it as the story goes on, I'd like Jasper and her to stay friends.

This marks the way too high number update without our beloved Hyde. I'm starting to miss the spirit of the London night (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)

I hope your week goes amazing, don't forget that you're awesome and beautiful and smart and creative and the bestest o⁠(⁠(⁠*⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠)⁠o

ah yay!!!! great chapter to wake up to lolol

I LITERALLY SQUEALED WHEN I READ THAT- i want this scene so badly,, like omggg its so sweet and so perfect and aaaandngn

I. Love. Rachel. I feel so bad for her omg my poor little girlie,, if she fussed over me I wouldnt push her away 🥺🥺🥺 but honestly, although she did mess up with jasper, I don’t think its as big of a deal to him as it is to her. I think that if she just apologized and promised not to do it again, tried to be a little better about it ya know,, I think jasper would be understanding. As long as shes understanding of him, I think he’ll return the favor. I hope they stop being weird around each other soon ;-;

HONESTLY- I miss him so much- I’m at the point where I’m starting to imagine Hyde in every scenario- like, imagine if ito and rachel are playing dress up and all of a sudden hyde’s there complimenting Ito’s kimono? or if rachel and jasper get to talk and BOOM hydes cheering them on? or if at this little party… jekyll keels over and starts transforming?

which brings me to my next point… nobody said hyde was *done*. so the exhibitions over, he got some well needed rest, so what? hydes still there, ruining his unconscious and intent on taking him down. plus, the chapter art!! gosh I miss him ;-; part of me hopes that this story gets to be similar to the book (where he starts transforming without the potion), and while I’d feel bad for jekyll, that would be sooo cool xD i miss hyde lolol ive been separated from my fav boyo for too long xD

ah thank you!! I have today off so I got to sleep in hehe ^-^ jfjfjfjskncjd youre so sweet ;-; youre wonderful and lovely and gorgeous and stupendous and awesome and absolutely amazing!!! I hope your eeek is awesome, remember to stay hydrated!!!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Short-Term Cover, Part 3

In hindsight Nick should have realised his Mom would notice that he was slightly injured. She'd noticed as soon as she came home the next day and saw he was struggling to get out of bed. [He always had a nap before heading to the museum.]

"What have you done to yourself?" She'd asked, in concern.

Being unable to tell her the truth, Nick told her a half-truth and said he'd slipped down the stairs a little. His mom insisted on seeing the 'damage' and once she saw the bruises forming she was on the phone to his father quicker than he thought possible. She'd sent him to his room, but Nick could still hear her voice from downstairs.

"-What I'm saying, Larry, is that I'm not happy that my baby's not even been there a week and he's already injured-!"

Nick groaned. He hadn't meant to land his dad in trouble. Just then his phone vibrated and he saw a text message from his dad that simply said. 'Rexy?'

Nick typed back. 'Rexy.'

His dad replied with: 'Leave it with me.'

Goodness knows what his dad actually said to calm his Mom down, but the upshot was that 20 minutes later his mom appeared at the door and announced she was allowing him to go.

Which was good because Nick did not want to think about how McPhee would react if he didn't show tonight. As it was he was there tapping his foot when Nick finally did turn up.

"You're late." He snapped.

Nick looked at the clock. It was five past. Pointing this out however would be certain suicide, so he just apologised instead.

McPhee's eyes narrowed. "I do not want any chaos tonight, understand? Any weird or unusual activity will be entirely your fault. Got it?"

Nick nodded.

"Good." And with that McPhee flounced off.

Nick exhaled heavily and - as soon as the door shut - called out. "Alright guys, coasts clear!"

"At last!" Teddy demounted his horse and strolled over. "You know, it's getting harder and harder to stay still until everyone's gone?"

"I can imagine. How've you been?"

Teddy shrugged. "Oh...much the same as usual. We had a kindergarten tour today. Very excitable they were." He smiled fondly.

"You get tours often?"

"At least once a month, usually. Dies down over the holidays, of course."

Nick nodded. "Is there anything you want to do tonight?"

Teddy suddenly got a faraway look in his eye, as he said. "Actually yes...I think I'll go talk to Wea. I tell you what, Nicholas, a finer women never existed"

Nick smiled as he thought of his crush. "I know the feeling."

Teddy smiled widely and clapped him on the back. "Well, I leave you. Good luck, Nicholas, my boy!" And with that he strode off.

Shaking his head fondly, Nick set off down the corridor, looking down at his list. [Now laminated] Of course it had changed a lot since his dad had started four years ago. Now the exhibits were mainly left to their own devices, with his dad just stepping in if they needed him. Hopefully all would be quiet tonight-

"Nick!" He jumped out his thoughts as he heard Jedidiah's voice. "We're awful sorry about injurin' ya."

"Yes." Nick jumped as Octavius appeared on the top of a bench. "It was not our intention."

"Oh...no problem."

"Nevertheless, we would like to make it up to you."

A sudden feeling a dread started in Nick's stomach. "Oh...really - no need. It was an accident-"

"We insist!" And with that Nick gave in. He had learned over the years that if the miniatures were determined to do something they would do it come hell or high water.

"Ok..."

"Fantastic! Follow us." Octavius leapt down from the bench and got into the car that Jedidiah had already got into.

With a 'yahoo!' Jed sped off with Nick having to run to keep up with them. Eventually they stopped in the front hall by the reception desk.

"Oh Rexy!" Jed called, stepping out the car. "Here, Rexy, Rexy!"

That dinosaur gets more dog-like every year, Nick thought, smiling as he heard the thump-thump of Rexy's feet heading towards them.

"Here Nick." He looked down to see Jed and Octavius holding the bone out towards him. "You can play wiv him fer the night."

Now, really Nick knew he shouldn't be entertaining the thought. He was here to look after the exhibits after all and therefore he shouldn't get distracted. However...he reasoned, looking at Rexy. The dinosaur was one of the exhibits and he needed entertaining, so-

Hesitating only slightly, he picked the bone up and chucked it as far as it could go. The dinosaur watched it soar past his head and - with an excited wag of the tail - thundered off after it. About ten seconds later he brought it back and dropped it in front of Nick.

With a laugh the teenager picked the bone up and threw it again. And again. And again. Pretty soon it had somehow been a solid half hour and Nick had to draw the game to a close. "I know, I know." He said, fighting back a chuckle as Rexy lay down in front of him looking devastated. "We'll try again tomorrow, ok, Buddy?"

Behind him Jed and Oct fist-bumped.

How I met my boyfriend Day 1

I met Ash when he was still living in Minnesota. Every morning he would send me a pic of the sunrise there and we talked all the time and then told me everything about his life. I will say this we have a lot in common, Like we both love the Vikings NFL team, Backstreet boys, Black Veil Brides and more.

I felt close to Ash because he would take the time to listen to me. He was there for me when I lost my grandpa Al and told me everything would be okay. I never thought he would be right well now I know he is. We both enjoy movies like Piglet's Big movie.

He out of the blue messaged me on Yahoo messenger before he was shut down. He said to me "Hey beautiful how are you? What are you up to on this cool night?" I replied to him saying "Hey I'm good you? I'm just relaxing before I have to go to bed for school." He sent the Fork and it said "Where do you want me to stick ya cause your done?" I laughed before saying "Haha in my shoulder is fine" We did want it to be sexual but we did want to be funny.

Wedding Speech＊Strumming Bride Light Translation Chapter Two

Cast: Adonis, Subaru, Makoto, Ritsu, Koga, Rei

Author(s): Yuumasu and Akira

Season: Summer

Proofread by: Gelyan

Excuse me, scoot over, I'm coming in. Woohoo~ ♪

Chapter Two: 

<Next Day>

Adonis: …Hello Sakuma-senpai, I’m sorry I couldn’t pick up the phone when you first called me.

…? Er, no. I’m at school right now, it’s lunch time .

It’s quiet because I’m in the corridor. The classrooms at this time are noisy, so I moved here.

…No. I’m sorry for giving you trouble.

You can use the message function of “Hold Hands,” but I’m not good at handling electronic devices like the keyboard, since I’m still not skilled at writing in Japanese.

So it’s easier to talk like this, even if I can’t see your face, since I can still hear your emotions in your voice.

…Hah, isn’t Sakuma-senpai also unskilled at using technology? In that regard we are similar.

…Well, now I wish to talk about the reason for this call, actually—

Subaru: Oh~! Looks like I found Occhan~!! Yahoo, yahoo ☆

Makoto: Awww~man, Akehoshi-kun, not right now! It looks like he’s on the phone right now, it’s bad to interrupt.

Subaru: Ah, that’s true. I didn’t notice from far away, aaah~ Sorry, sorry!

Adonis: No problem. It’s only Sakuma-senpai on the line.

Subaru: Oh! You know me, right ♪

Heya Sakuma-senpai! It’s me, your friendly neighbourhood Akehoshi Subaru~☆

Makoto: I told you, it’s bad to interrupt. I’m sure that Hidaka-kun and everyone is waiting for us, so we should get going, yeah?

Subaru: Oh, that’s right! Alright, then see ya later Occhan! Tell Sakuma-kun it was fun talking to him for me~☆

Adonis: Mhm, I’ll be sure to tell him.

Sorry for making you wait, Sakuma-senpai. I received a message from Akehoshi, he said it was nice talking to you.

Did you hear him already because his voice was so loud? Hah, I see.

I feel the same. I miss the days when my senpais were here. I’m always quietly hoping that they’d pop out behind a pillar and surprise me.

When you, yourself, become a senior, there’s no one else to rely upon in the academy.

My classmates like Oogami and Kanzaki help, but the existence of “senpai” is special.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time…

I can look back on the past as much as I want later…

But first, let’s talk about the “present,” Sakuma-senpai—

<After school>

Koga: Hey, Ricchi~!

Ritsu: What? I’m busy sharpening my pencils~

Koga: Ya seriously got nothing better to do, eh?

You’re on duty, aren’t ya? I was passin by the staff room and the homeroom teacher gave this ta me.

They said to give it to ya, So here you go asshat.

Ritsu: Aah, a new blackboard eraser. I’ve been lazing around about going out of my way to get it.

My loyal corgi ended up bringing it to me, aah, I’m happy I put it off then. Alright, I have no choice but to praise you ♪

Koga: Don’t treat me like a dog, okay~? You’re a pain in the arse, y’kno?

Ritsu: Well, if you say so… Can you write a journal entry for me?

Koga: Why would I do that?

Eeh~ Corgi, aren’t you getting cocky~

Adonis: …Sorry to interrupt.

Oogami, is now a good time? I have something to ask.

Koga: Hey, what’s with the serious face?

Hey, spit it out. No need to act so proper, I’d do anything to help a friend.

Ritsu: Oh, then I’ll take you up on your offer and ask you to do my daily duties for me.

Koga: Hey, I wasn’t talkin to ya. Oi, Adonis, don’t listen to Ricchi here~

Ritsu: Eh~ Then I’m in a pickle now then, huh~

Adonis: It seems like you’re in trouble, is it unimportant?

Koga: It’s just laziness~ He’s way too pampered.

So, what did you want to talk about?

Adonis: I’ll talk about it later, first can we leave the classroom?

Sorry, I’ll have to borrow Oogami for a bit.

Ritsu: Yeah, yea~h… I thought I could get Corgi to do it this time, ah…

It can’t be helped, I guess I’ll just get my duties done quickly.

(30 minutes later)

Koga: …I blindly followed you, but I gotta admit​​—I didn’t expect to walk inside a coffee shop.

Adonis: It’s more convenient than talking in the academy. Now, what do you want, Oogami?

Koga: Iced coffee.

Adonis: I’ll get the same, alongside…

Koga: Parfait, right? Ya like the parfait from this place, don’t ya?

Hey, there’s this limited time parfait, what about this?

Adonis: It looks delicious, let’s get it too.

Koga: Oi, then, why don’t ya call in your order now?

Adonis: I would like one limited time parfait and two ice coffees please—

Wait, hold on, I’ll take three ice coffees please. That’s all.

Koga: Eh? Three?

Rei: That was probably because of me.

Koga: Eh?! Sakuma-senpai!?

Rei: Koga-kun, loud voices aren’t allowed in the cafe shop, it’ll be a nuisance to the other customers.

Excuse me, scoot over, I'm coming in. Woohoo~ ♪

Koga: You wanna sit next to me? Sure…

Adonis: Well, alright. Everyone’s here, the parfait and coffee haven’t arrived yet but let’s get start.

Koga: Huh? What are you talking bout? We’re one man short.

Adonis: No. This is everyone, as—

The topic of today's meeting is about that “man,” Hakaze-senpai.

Yesterday, I saw Hakaze-senpai in the employee cafeteria, but for some reason… He seemed troubled.

I was curious so I tried to talk to him, and while we talked he seemed to go back to normal, but… He still came off as being in low spirits.

I’m worried something has happened with Hakaze-senpai.

Koga: Eh~? Guess I wasn’t imagining things after all.

Adonis: Imagining things?

Koga: A couple days ago, I walked by him at the dorm and tried to say hello, but he ignored me.

He apologised though, so I let it go. But he still seemed like some nutcase.

Adonis: Hmm… Sakuma-senpai?

Rei: I noticed something was off, but I was just observing from afar .

He didn’t seem to be too out of spirits, and he’s a adult after all.

I’d be happy to reach out, but it's best not to intrude until the other person asks. Over-interference isn’t good.

Adonis: I see…

(Since Hakaze-senpai was in trouble, I wanted to help so I called out to him…)

(But sometimes you just have to sit quietly, huh?)

"Head low to the ground, luv."

Sparkpaw lowered her head, still looking back at Silentblaze like she was going to stab her in the back. But Silentblaze hadn't hurt her yet. And honestly it was nice being taught by a strong, beautiful she-cat. Despite being attached to Capeclaw's side most of the time, Silentblaze still had her own voice, her own teeth and her own claws. She was an expert in the water and just as good on land, unlike Capeclaw who was suited mostly only to the water. From afar when she wasn't assisting Capeclaw in killing her brother, Sparkpaw kind of admired this she-cat. So when Bonecurl got injured chasing a rat for Krusty and Sycamorefall had assigned Silentblaze to her, Sparkpaw had to admit she was...sort of excited!

"That's a dear," Silentblaze said, snapping her out of her thoughts, "Now press your whole body into the ground. You want to get a springy start when you're chasing rabbits." Sparkpaw nodded and did as she was told. "Absolutely perfect, luv, you're doing great."

Sparkpaw was beaming. Bonecurl complimented her but never this much! She looked up at Silentblaze who was peering out into the grass. She smiled. "Tell me what you smell, luv."

"Oh!" Was this a test?! Sparkpaw loved tests! "I smell...let's see." She parted her jaws and inhaled. "I smell the food piles but I also smell the river patrol coming back with fish, fire in twolegplace and...rabbit! Live rabbit!" Silentblaze nodded with approval. Sparkpaw grinned up at her.

"Alrigh' then," she said, "How's about you try and catch one of them rabbits?" Sparkpaw nodded, her eyes narrowed with determination. She parted her jaws and found the rabbit's scent. Stalking forward she turned an uncertain look on Silentblaze who smiled brightly and nodded.

Sparkpaw was ready. This was her first big catch! Maybe when she was done, Silentblaze would teach her how to fish! Then she'd be good at every type of hunting! She angled her ears forward and sniffed the air. Her mouth watered as she inched forward towards the rabbit. Steps away she bunched her muscles to leap.

"YAHOO!" Sparkpaw was almost bowled over by the rabbits as they ran. She gasped, sitting up, watching her prey run away. Her eyes watered then narrowed angrily at the cat who'd sent the rabbits running. She was nose to nose with Barkpaw.

"StarClan damnit, Barkpaw look what you've done!" Applestep jumped towards Silentblaze, breathing heavy. "Sorry Silent, we were trying to hunt those rabbit too. If Barkpaw had payed attention he would have known his sister was there." Applestep's eyes narrowed to slits as Barkpaw rolled his eyes.

"It's not like there won't be anymore rabbits," he yawned.

"But those were my rabbits," Sparkpaw wailed, "I almost had them and you ruined it!" She dipped her head and sniffled but stopped when she felt a paw go around her shoulder. Silentblaze had come to stand next to her new apprentice.

"How's about you apologize?" Silentblaze sneered at Barkpaw. Barkpaw looked up at Applestep who snorted at him, waiting for his apology.

"To my sister? No way," Barkpaw growled, "Especially if you ask." He stuck his tongue out at Sparkpaw who finally started crying. Silentblaze offered her a lick on the forehead before stalking towards Barkpaw, her eyes narrowed to slits.

"I said," she growled, "Apologize." Barkpaw shook with the same fear he had when Capeclaw greeted him with his name. He looked at Sparkpaw who was hiding behind Silentblaze and then Applestep who was fighting a laugh.

"S-s-sorry!!" Barkpaw turned tail and rushed through the grass back towards he and Sparkpaw's home.

"HA!" Applestep walked up to Silentblaze's side. "You really know how to scare'em, don'tcha Silent?" She rolled her eyes. "I suppose I should go after him. See ya at Stoat's tonight! Me'nHope'll be there with bells on." Applestep dashed after Barkpaw. Sparkpaw trotted up to Silentblaze's side.

"Tha-snf-thank you," she said, "He's always so mean to me."

"Then be mean right back."

"What?"

"I said be mean right back, luv." Sparkpaw watched in wonder as Silentblaze ran her tongue over her forepaw. "You're a smart kit, Sparkpaw. A very smart kit. Might even rule the clan someday if you keep your head right."

"REALLY?!" Sparkpaw gasped. Silentblaze nodded. Sparkpaw looked at her paws sheepishly. "Can you teach me to fish?" Silentblaze chuckled.

"Alright, I say we've had enough land for now anyway," she said, "Come on. You can tell me all about that kittypet you like to listen to by the fencepost."

"Really?! Gosh." Sparkpaw followed her new mentor to the river. Maybe she'd ask Sycamorefall whether she could switch mentors for good...

✨✨

Prologue? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"So you work as a janitor now?" M suddenly appeared behind yuu scaring the shit out of them and their ugli ass cat.

"EJVREKDH M, ROSE, HEY HI!" yuu said clutching the broom that they're holding. "And for your question, sadly yeah but at least I'm getting paid??" Yuu chuckled nervously "you're underpaid that's what" M mumbled.

"Well if you want, I don't mind helping you like clean up your dorm after lessons are done, and I don't need like to get paid, take this as uh...fellow other world people help...?"

"Smooth one M"

"SHUT🥲"

"Really?? Honestly as much as I don't wanna bother you but the dorm is VERY bleh and your guys help would mean the world to me!" Yuu said as they bow to the duo.

"Ye it's not like we really have much to do rather than studying, OMG WE CAN BE STUDY GROUP 😼😼😼" Rose said with sporkle in her eyes ✨✨✨.

Omg friendship so cute✨✨

But it was soon destroyed by a certain ginger.

ED SHEERAN-

Lmaooo jk it's ace.

"The bitchboy here 😳" M whisper to rose.

"Ew gingers" Rose whisper back.

Before they knew it ace and grim are fighting and burn the queen of hearts statue. Whoops!

Well there y'all go cleanin the windows. (Excluding M and Rose) (well they are there but just for support lmaooooo)

Then the chase scene happens, and this time M and Rose helped chase the childe 2.0 (mostly because they really wanna meet deuce) (oh did I say they? I meant mostly M)

And whoop! Would you look at that the chandelier fell down! God you guys really need to stop destroying stuff.

Well see ya! Hope you guys got back alive from the dwarf mine!

♥*♡∞:｡.｡　　｡.｡:∞♡*♥

"Ughh...my everything hurts" yuu said as they practically dragging their feet under how much running and screaming from the dwarfs mine, "you can say that again henchmen"

As they open the door, they are greeted by a sight of M AND ROSE MAKING OU-

Jk M was sweeping and Rose is laying on the couch reading a book she borrowed from the library.

"Yahoo Yuu! We cleaned up the place while you were gone!" M said waving to them as she sweep the dust.

Cue yuu on the ground kneeling while crying thanking God for sending two beautiful angels to them. (Aww np yuu 🥰🥰)

"You guys can crash in this dorm if you want, it's getting dark and all, and it's the least I can do for helping clean up the dorm 🥺🥺🥺" Yuu said as they give the Mrose duo puppy eyes, well at least they think it's a puppy eye Yuu eyes are blurry and all.

"WOOOO SLEEPOVER!!!" Rose yells as she pulls uno card out of her pink hair.

"let's play uno 😼"

"Have you been keeping stuff in your hair-"

"No no it's ok let her do her stuff🥰🥰"

"I feel like you guys are forgetting about me-"

Flashback to before Yuu got home from the dwarf mine.

"Lessons finally over, let's go to the ramshackle dorm now" M said as she stretch her bones, "hmmm may I ask why we do this tho? 😼😼"

"Ok ok this is my plan, if we keep having sleepover at ramshackle, it would be a habit of us to not be in our dorm and our housewarden wouldn't be too suspicious when we aren't in the dorm, that would be very useful for me in chapter 4, with jamal locking everyone in the dorm and all 😊😊" M suddenly stopped and that made Rose turn back at her.

"And besides, if we keep having sleepover we would be with each other more rather than being separated by our dorms 🥰😊"

"AWWWWW M😳😳😳 UR SO CUTE🥰🥰" Rose said as she tackle M in a hug.

And after they arrived to ramshackle, reality suddenly hits and realize that they literally cannot go back home, to their jobs, house, and shows.

An action packed ending to the first chapter. Yahoo!

As many of you are well aware, I am now home in San Francisco with my family for the holidays!! I'm so happy to be with them again and still processing the 6 months that somehow felt like several years passed in the blink of an eye for me, and if that doesn't make sense to you, try to imagine the state of my brain right now.

The month of December, though the main theme felt like goodbye😢 , had so much good work of the Lord in church, work, friends, and my cats. It left me feeling in awe and so thankful for this opportunity to travel to Cambodia, meet some amazing people, and take part in the Lord's work being done in this country.

Here is the Groundwater Practicum I helped organize and attend! We had WASH non-profit organizations present, including Samaritan's Purse and ClearCambodia, as well as groundwater experts from the US and New Zealand. The event was designed to have the experts speak, equipping local organizations to more ably pursue effective, sustainable, and even cost-reducing practices with providing drinking water and groundwater wells to communities in Cambodia. I enjoyed learning about groundwater and so much information was shared at this smashingly successful 4-day event!

The weekend before the Groundwater Practicum, I ran the Ankor Wat half-marathon, a loop that goes around a huge temple near the tourist city of Siem Reap. Here is one of the blurry photos I took during the race as I struggled to avoid veering off the road and crashing into the bushes. Overall, the race went well as I finished in less than 2 hours- and Siem Reap is a beautiful city with yummy food that I highly recommend for anyone visiting southeast Asia!!

Out of all the things I did in my visit here, including working on engineering projects, going to the gym, and even getting bit by mosquitoes, the hardest thing for me was saying goodbye to good friends. Brendan (my fellow intern) and I had touching sendoff parties at Every Nation Church, EMI office, and even at home in a cookie decorating party with our friends. I am already missing the meaningful relationships that were forged in my short time here. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have met such amazing people and pray constantly that I will be able to return!

At our work retreat, people spoke kind words of encouragement and appreciation, and prayed over Brendan and I as we prepared to come back to the US. So thankful for all of the lessons learned, the culture we were able to experience, and the people we met along the way.

Thank you for following my blog! It was so hard to write these because they just don't do my whole experience justice. But at the end of the day, I just wrote what I could and hopefully it helps you see that God does deserve all of the glory we could possibly give, and then some. Thank you for your prayers, and thank you for supporting me in however way you have chosen to.

Speaking of support, I have one more prayer requests if you would be willing to pray:

that the Lord would guide my time here in the US, as I begin to understand how I have changed and grown as a result of this trip, and that I would follow His call to do His will in my career (maybe even return to Cambodia soon!) while being a blessing to my friends and family.

អរគុណច្រេីន (Thank you so much) for being a part of my journey! I appreciate you and hope y'all will reach out if there is anything I can do for you, or clarify. See ya when I see ya!

Wind der Freiheit | Venti x Reader

Making a Dandelion Wine flavored cake is a lot harder than you thought it would be.

note: yahoo~ past elli here and this is the first post for the twin bards’ bday event! this was written on june 13 and a scheduled post so it’s either im wide awake or fast asleep for their bday but here ya go!

artist: mizuamememe

word count: 2.6k

           Today is the day. You never thought the day is finally here and you’ve been always waiting to celebrate this with a certain bard. Taking one final look at your work, you take a step back to see the whole masterpiece you have baked to give as a gift for Venti.

            June 16. It is Venti the Bard’s birthday. The all three-time winner of the most popular bard of Mondstadt. The bard who always goes to the tavern, Angel’s Share, to get wasted from drinking the city’s most beloved and well-known Dandelion Wine. Heaving a sigh, you looked down at the cake that was designed with vanilla and mint icing and a message that read as “Happy Birthday!”

            This was your very own special and original recipe of a Dandelion Wine cake, or as what you’d rather call it, Wind der Freiheit. To think of making a wine a flavor for a cake recipe was something you haven’t done yet so this was a big challenge. And yet you fear to know what this cake would taste like. 

            These past few days, you’ve been baking day and night to make the perfect Dandelion Wine flavored cake for Venti. The first three batches were fine with you but as you continued to bake and bake again, you eventually got a little bit tipsy when taste-testing your cakes. With your poor alcohol intolerance, it was hard for you to continue baking and that’s when you decided to call over some acquaintances who can do the taste testing for you. 

            Kaeya, the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius, was your first choice and he was happy and honored you picked him first to judge your product. He only got to taste it once, saying your cake was a bit too sweet, but he has to cut off his time with you to continue working as the Cavalry Captain. You appreciate that he helped you with this but you never asked him again since he’s got more important things to do than taste testing.

            Your next choice was Charles the Bartender. While he works in the tavern, you give him your baked goods as a snack then ask for his opinion.

            “It’s a bit bitter and the taste of the Dandelion Wine is so strong in here, but if you’re going to give this to someone I suggest lighting up the flavor a bit to also capture the sweetness of your cake.”

            And so you followed his suggestion. Maybe just a cup of the wine should suffice and three cups of powdered sugar for the frosting. Giving the slice of cake to him, a drunkard suddenly came barging into the counter and eyeing the dessert.

            “Oh? What’s this? You got a new product with you, Charlie?”

            “Nimrod, go back home before your wife sees you staying here again.”

            “Oh shush. Hey girlie, mind if I take a bite?” 

            Blinking at this familiar stranger, you shook your head and gave the plate and fork to him. As he put the dessert in his mouth, Nimrod spat out the food and bangs his fist on the counter, begging for some water.

            “What in the world did you put here?! It’s too salty!!”

            Salty? You were sure you only put half a teaspoon of salt in it. With furrowed brows, you took a small bite of your own dessert. The volatile and bitter flavor running through your taste buds made you want to rush out and get some water to drink away the bitterness and saltiness ruining your tongue. 

            “B-but how… I’m sure I’ve put half a teaspoon of salt in here… And the powdered sugar should—“

            That’s when you realized you might have mixed up the baking soda and the powdered sugar’s measurements. You felt like your world was dooming when Nimrod stomped out of the tavern and complained about the tavern’s menu, garnering everyone’s attention. They were all murmuring and whispering at the commotion then looking back between you and Charles.

            Feeling guilty that you might be ruining their reputation, which it kind of did, you looked for a different person you can ask for help but not before ordering their entire stock of Dandelion Wine to make sure you don’t run out as you experiment some more.

            And your third choice was,

            “Aether, are you sure you don’t mind judging this for me?” You looked at him with firm eyes, fists resting over your hips as you questioned him. 

            “W-well, I am 500 years old…” His tone just made it hard for you to trust this outlander. It was like a kid pretending to say he’s legal to drink. Sighing for an umpteenth time this day, you stared at his little companion floating next to him to make sure what Aether was saying was true. She only shrugged her shoulders and glanced at your cake.

            “I mean I know I look young but I’m a lot older than I look.” Seeing your hesitancy in handing him over the cake, he sighed in defeat and rubbed the back of his head. “If you still won’t allow me then I know a perfect person who’ll judge it.”

            “No, it’s fine. Time is running out and I need someone to taste this for me if I still need room for improvement.” Passing over to him the fork, Paimon’s eyes sparkled and looked at you with pleading eyes.

            “Ooh! Can Paimon take a bite as well?!” 

            You glanced over to Aether and tilt your head. “Can she?” And just like what Paimon did, he shrugged his shoulders before letting the soft dessert enter through his mouth. The flavors were familiar and comforting as if the breeze of the wind just rushed past through him after taking a bite. He could eat the entire cake as if they were the most divine food ever conjured. 

            The sweetness and refreshing taste of the wine mixed with the cake’s sugary flavor that coursed through his tongue was a match made in heaven. Aether hummed in delight and looked at you with bright eyes. 

            “Woah, this is perfect! The flavors had a brightness as if in each bite were tiny brilliant hot air balloons, ready to escape into a blue sky. The aroma of cereal is like the wind in the sails. If it were like that then the essences were the full body of the boat!”

            Your smile went big and wide, excited to discover you’ve finally succeeded in creating the perfect dessert. “R-really?! You’re not just sugarcoating your words, right?!” 

            “Of course not! This really tastes good and if I were honest with you, I actually want to eat more of it.” A sheepish laugh came from him and you giggled at his honesty, flattered and delighted to know he enjoyed what you had baked.

            “I think this settles it! I should go to Starsnatch Cliff now—“

            A loud belching resonated around the kitchen causing you and Aether to stop chatting. Following where the source of sound is leading, you blinked several times and let out a petty sound of huh when you see an empty plate in front of the table.

            “Oh wow, that was… that was really delicious! Paimon wants more of this cake! Hey Aether, maybe we should try asking [Name] for the recipe so we can also try this out on our travels!” 

            Several crumbs of mint-colored pastry were sticking out on the corner of her lips. She licked them off and laid on top of the table, her stomach heavy and full from eating the sweet treat. Another loud and long burping slipped from her mouth as she rolled her body to the side and spread out her short arms and legs, all sprawled out and without a care if the two humans were looking at her with wide eyes.

            You felt your world was shattering into pieces as if all your hopes and dreams were gone right before your eyes. All the effort of baking that perfect cake has disappeared in just a second. Aether glared at his companion and scolded her. “Paimon, that was supposed to be Venti’s! We’re only here to taste test a small portion of her cake, not eat the entire cake!”

            “What…? Paimon thought [Name]’s going to bake another one?”

            “If it tastes different! That was already the ideal cake she was going to give to Venti!” Aether pinched the bridge of his nose then looked at you apologetically. 

            “[Name], I’m really sorry about this emergency food here. W-we can still help you in making another one!”

            Pulling yourself together, you nodded and ran to the cabinet to take out the necessary ingredients. 

            “Oh no…”

            The two companions looked at each other then back to your figure who was motionless and still in front of the cupboard. “Um, Paimon doesn’t like that tone…”

            Catching the panic look on your visage, he prepared for the worst when you sniffled and took out a box. 

            “I’m out of cake flour.”

            “We can still buy more at Blanche’s shop!” Aether reassured and just as you were about to list down the other ingredients you needed, a heavy sound of a door banging open made you jolt in surprise.

            “[Name]!” The yell was a cry, a voice you recognize very well and it just further made you distressed that he came at the wrong time. Venti was standing there with a big smile on his face and a basket in his hand. Then the bright grin faltered when he saw Aether and Paimon were also with you.

            “Oh?”

            “Uh…” 

            A small sob slipped from your lips and you tried so hard to hold back the tears to fall out from your eyes. “Venti…” You wept and mopped the small tears with the back of your hand. The bard was quick to rush to where you were standing and pulled you in a hug. He’d never seen you so hurt and upset, and though he doesn’t know the reason as to why the first thing that came to his mind was the pixie and the traveler.

            A look of great bitterness swept across his face as small enmity boiled inside him. His hold on you was protective and firm, holding you close against his body but just before he could question the two what they did to you, you grasped on his wrist to catch his attention— which was a success.

            “Sorry, I just panicked when I saw you enter.” 

            Venti’s eyes softened and cupped your cheek. His thumb running across your face to dry out your wet stained face. “What’s wrong? Were you preparing for another surprise for me?” 

            The forlorn gaze and nod of your head hurt his heart. Despite being told to meet at Starsnatch Cliff, he decided to go there with you instead of waiting alone. A melancholic presence painted across his face but it shifted to a brighter one to lighten up the mood.

            “Hey, it’s alright. I still don’t know what surprise you have in store for me.” He softly pecked your temple and laced your fingers together and though he already attempted to make you smile, the gloomy aura you have bothered him.

            “That’s the problem… The cake is... it’s gone.” You fiddled your fingers and shied away when Venti remained silent. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Paimon and Aether sneaking out of the room to give you and Venti some alone-time together. Perhaps it’s the best yet he still needs to inquire with them if something happened when he was away.

            “Cheer up, love. We can bake together to make another one. But I must say, I also have a small problem with me, ehe…” He scratched his cheek out of nervousness and that strained chuckle made you look at him in concern. 

            Clearing his throat, he raised the basket for you to take a peek inside. “I was planning to take a bottle of wine with me for our picnic date but when I went to the tavern they said they ran out of Dandelion Wine. The bartender even told me someone took the entire stock! Now, who in the world would be so selfish to take all the goods with them?!” 

            The small huff from him caused you to giggle, surprising him. Seems like Venti still doesn’t know who was the culprit for taking his favorite drink. You encircled your arms around his waist and glimpsed at him under your long lashes. Your lover was completely magnetized by your eyes. His hand rested on your back to support you and have you lean against him.

            “Well about that, would you believe me if I said I was the one who bought it?” His eyes widened and he leaned forward to take a whiff of your scent. The familiar sweet and grain-like aroma wafted through his nose and he stared at you with a gaped mouth.

            “I’ve been making a Dandelion Wine flavored cake for your birthday. Of course, there would be several failures here and there and experimenting which combination will fit for the flavors that’s why I took all of it.” Your explanation had him laughing at your story and it’s not that because it’s silly. It just really sounds like you, always doing your best to achieve your goal and to create the perfect masterpiece.

            “You should also buy the entire industry,” Venti joked and pulled you to the counter. He put down the basket on the floor and stood behind you, hugging your waist and resting his chin on your shoulder.

            “No thanks. You’ll drink everything there and Mondstadt’s economics will be in grave danger.” With a grin he pressed a quick kiss to your lips, pulling away before you had time to react. “Aww, but I would never.” You raised your eyebrows at him in disbelief and slight amusement.

            “Okay, maybe a little.” His lips met yours again, more passionate this time. “But even if I do drink them, I’d rather drink something else.” Another kiss. Venti turned you around to face him, chuckling at your surprised appearance. “And if I snuck in to take a bottle or two, I wonder what will you do if you catch me.”

            He had you pressed against the counter, cornering you between him and the worktable. His lips ghosted over yours as he pressed his knee between your legs, voice lowing to a whisper, “Does this feel familiar?”

            “You know I usually wouldn’t be opposed to this,” you started, gasping as his lips found their way to your neck, his leg pressing harder at the area between yours. “But don’t we still have something to do? You said you'd bake with me…”

            His teeth gently bit down on the exposed skin of your collarbone, causing your breathing to hitch. There was no doubt it was going to leave a mark, but that was exactly what he wanted. Venti ran his hands down your body, allowing one to trail underneath your shirt. “Change of plans. It’s not like your kitchen or our date place will run away. Or… do you want me to stop? Because I will if that’s what you really want.”

            He began to pull away, a teasing smirk on his lips, but you just tugged him closer. Your mind was in a haze, eyes half-lidded as you wrapped your arms around his shoulders.

             “No, don’t.”

            “Alright, anything for my princess,” he purred, kissing you once more. This time it was rougher, almost needy, as your hands found their way to his hair, tangling in his short onyx locks. You playfully gave his hair a gentle tug, eliciting a quiet moan from his lips. In response, his free hand traced downwards, teasingly rubbing at your inner thigh.

            Date and baking can hold, while this one— your lover just wants to spend quality time with you. Ignoring the fact that the two companions were still inside your home.

BUT he seems like a sweetie

and looking at his wiki fandom page it says he’s quite observant

and, from his opening scene when i got to inazuma, he seems like a goofball

neways back to the prompt

you and tohma have quite an interesting relationship

the one where everyone /thinks/ y’all are dating but when someone asks you go ‘nah’ but tohma is like ‘sure’

you’re just like ???

and everyone else is just like ???

okay neways

one day you two were just walking around, enjoying your time together

he was feeling quite flirty today i suppose, or just wanted to test your limits

he just goes “ya know, people call me a lover boy.”

you’re just like “okay??”

“you can too, ya know,” he finishes

you face falls flat to a -_-

you flick his forehead

“no.” you continue to walk and he follows behind you with a whine

“why not!!” he whined

“because everyone already thinks we’re dating!” you laugh

he whined again, “maybe we should!”

you paused and looked at him, he looked like he regretted what he said. you shrugged your shoulders, “alrighty”

you rolled your eyes, “more like a loser boy”

“oh yeah? you’re known as the one next to the weird barb”

“yeah, the /weird/ barb” you repeated, “and actually i’m known as the cool one who made you known”

“you two are known as the two who stole and broke the holy lyre” diluc returned

“they say i throw my heart around,” venti sang, you nudged him

diluc rolled his eyes at him, “maybe you should use your brain instead of your heart”

diluc looked from venti, to you, then back at venti

you hid your face in your hands and shook your head

“nope, i’m done with you two for the night. thanks for the drinks, cya!” you laughed, clearly joking and walked out the bar

Your vision, once a bright open scope, dwindled down to a sliver of light. What had happened? You couldn't remember. Everything was foggy. Dizzy. You felt around your body and touched something wet. Your hand came back painted a crimson shade.

You think you heard someone shout your name. Again, your memory isn't the best of the event. Something hit the floor with a thud. Oh wait. It was you. The world faded to a suffocating black.

The room was cold. The ceiling an interwoven white and gold. Where exactly were you? You tried to sit up but immediately laid back down. It hurt too much. You took a breath and attempted once more.

"Y/N!" A voice called out. A person clad in green sprinted towards you. You gave a slight smile when he grabbed your hand. Venti.

You started slipping. The room was spinning.

"Y/N- wait!" Venti cried, but your eyelids fluttered shut. He gave a slight sob, refusing to move, your hand clutched in his.

He knew, of course, he was to outlive you. You were a mere mortal. But he hadn't expected your time together to be cut short so soon. By a hilichurl no less. Anger, resentment, guilt. It was his fault. He should've been there to protect you.

He visited you every day, waiting for you to awaken. Days melted into weeks, yet your eyes remained closed. Venti was beginning to lose hope.

One day he just stopped coming. Perhaps he believed it simply wasn't to be. You have yet to recover. Maybe it's fate's cruel way of telling him "no".

He spent more time at the Angel's Share, trying to drink away his problems. Diluc himself was starting to worry for the bard. He lay slumped on the counter, Diluc delivering him to the Cathedral each day to lie next to you. Each day Venti awoke and left your side as quickly as he could.

Barbara finally did her magic. You were finally healed, after about a month passed. But...where was your lover? He was nowhere in sight. You frowned but went to go look for him.

You checked the streets, the statue by the Cathedral, the tree at Windrise. All empty of the bard.

Was he gone? Did he get tired of waiting? Doubt settled in the crevice of your mind. You had been asleep for...how long did Barbara say? A month? Venti might've moved on. You couldn't blame him. He always had a short attention span. Should've held it while you could.

You sat at the roots of the Windrise tree, staring at the Statue of the Seven. From the front it did look a little like Venti. It pained your heart, making the connection.

What could I have done to be enough? You asked yourself. Not getting nearly killed would've helped.

Suddenly...

"Yahoo!"

You looked around for the source. Was that-

"YaaaahOOOOO!"

There it was again. You gave it your best shot. "VENTI?!"

"Ya-huh?" You heard a small thump behind the tree. You sprinted over and spotted Venti, a heap on the ground, glider gnarled up with leaves.

He looked up at you. No way you were real. Unless you were a ghost. You grabbed his hand to help him up. Not a ghost.

He started to tear up, carefully giving you a warm hug.

"My Cecilia, I've missed you so. Please, at least say goodbye before you go."

"haha yeah, im with the others right now" reki said to the phone as he wiped a table clean. 

"really? are you at S?" y/n asked from the other line 

"oh no, we're at joe's restaurant." reki replied with a laugh "everyone's eating right now." he then covered the phone with his hand and sent them a nasty glare "everyone but me.. " he grumbled bitterly 

miya stuck his tongue out at the redhead and tauntingly bit into a piece of steak. "not our fault its your shift right now" he said. reki playfully rolled his eyes and brought the phone back against his ear. "anyways, y/n what're you up to?" he asked 

"i remember you mentioned joining a club right?" he said. "is it one for skating?! i didnt know schools even had those!" 

from the other line, y/n chuckled sheepishly. "ah no.. its a club for volleyball" she said "although im just a manager" 

reki furrowed his brows in confusion "volleyball? i didn't expect that" he said 

"me too reki. but it's really fun! if you ever come here we can try playing with my friends" she said excitedly 

"sure! im actually coming th-" before reki could finish his sentence, joe quickly covered his mouth and snatched the phone. "hey rookie!" joe greeted with a laugh "little reki here is busy at the moment but why don't ya chat with me?" he mused 

"oh, hi joe." she greeted him "why is reki busy? i thought you were just eating?" 

"ah well-" 

"are you lying? does reki not wanna talk to me? is he with someone else? or did something else happen?" she bombarded him with a chain of questions 

joe sweat dropped and looked over to the rest for help. "ah no, none of that happened, rookie" he reassured her "reki here is helping me out in the restaurant so he's a bit occupied" he explained 

"oh.." y/n mumbled in response "okay then" 

"dont spoil it, you slime!" miya scolded him "our visit is supposed to be a surprise!" 

"i was just excited!" reki defended himself with a huff "whatever, dude! y/n's gonna think i don't wanna visit her" he said 

"then make it up to her when you get there" shadow said as he ate . "good idea, old man shadow!" reki exclaimed "i'll do just that, but for now let me talk to her again-" 

before reki could reach for the phone, miya has already sprung up and snatched it. "y/n~" he cooed with a smug cat-like grin "how's it going?" he asked as he clawed reki's prying hands away 

"oh hi miya!" she greeted him cheerfully "everything is fine. though i miss you and everyone else" she said 

miya smiled in delight and his face exploded into a bright red hue. "you miss me?!" he asked excitedly. he then cleared his throat and scoffed. "how cute. you like me or something?" he said 

reki, along with the others watch with a deadpanned expression as miya shyly fiddles with his hoodie with a blush, although his tone of voice seems quite different. 

"of course i like you" y/n said 

miya splutters and throws the phone at reki's direction. "take it! i'm done here!" he shrieks as he turns his back at them and slaps his red face repeatedly. 

"you're my friend. why would i hate you?" she continued, although he wasn't there to hear it anymore. 

"hi y/n" reki said 

"hi!" she shrieked, followed by a loud thud, as if she had fallen. 

"hey, sorry about earlier! we can talk now if you want" he said with a chuckle 

"oh sure! lets--" 

reki's brows furrowed in confusion as the call suddenly disconnected mid-sentence. "hello?" he called out 

"huh? she hung up!" he exclaimed. "maybe she didn't want to talk to you" miya teased him. reki faced him with a look of distraught. "you think so?" he asked in panic 

"dude" miya sweat dropped "of course not. its y/n we're talking about" 

"REKI!" y/n shrieked out as she reached for the phone that was snatched out of her hands "why'd you take it?!" she exclaimed as she tried to reach for the device 

the class sweat dropped as they watched her try to reach for the phone in the teacher's hands

"i don't know who reki is, but you can't use your phone. classes are about to start" he said 

"but-- but i was on a call with reki.." she sulked 

"you can call each other after class." the teacher sighed. "i won't take your phone since its your first time doing this, but let it be the last please" 

"okay.." y/n replied as she took the phone from him "i won't call during class. sorry." she said as she bowed her head 

"good. anyways-" the teacher cut himself off as he caught sight of her hunched over and rigorously typing on her phone. "hasegawa y/n! you can't text either!" the teacher scolded her 

"but i'm not making any noise.." she reasoned with a confused tilt of her head 

"it doesn't matter. you have to stop or i'll take away that phone." the teacher said. he then narrowed his eyes threateningly and said, "along with that skateboard of yours" 

the whole class sweat dropped as they watched y/n shudder in fear and quietly place the phone into her bag 

"sorry." she muttered as she placed her hands on the desk and tensely kept her eyes on the blackboard. "apology accepted." the teacher said. "anyways, let's start.." 

oikawa side eyed her, watching as her eyes and hands twitch , as if she was itching to pull her phone out again. the brunette leaned over iwaizumi, who groaned in annoyance, and poked her shoulder 

"yahoo, y/n-chan~" he whispered quietly 

"oikawa-san, please go away. if i make noise he'll take my phone and my board." she said 

oikawa frowned and poked her again. "don't be so cold to me, y/n-chan~" he cooed "i just wanted to ask you to join me for lunch later." he said. "lunch?" y/n hummed. "yup. let's do something fun together" he replied. 

"okay, oikawa-san" she agreed with a curt nod. "i'll join you" 

"hasegawa." the teacher called on her. y/n jumped and shakily faced the man. "yes?" she replied. "answer the question on the board." the teacher said 

"i can't!" she quickly denied. 

"why not?" the teacher said with a sigh "this is english class. you're from canada right? all im asking is for you to say something in english." 

"sorry!" she replied in english. "please don't take my phone and my skateboard away." 

"good job." the teacher gave her a nod before moving on 

"sorry" oikawa chuckled sheepishly "lunch later, okay?" he cooed. y/n simply nodded and gave him a thumbs up, refusing to speak a word. 

"shut the fuck up, shittykawa." iwaizumi grunted as he pushed the brunette away. "you're causing everyone problems" 

"ow! just for that, you're not invited to our lunch" oikawa said, to which iwaizumi simply replied with an eye roll 

"you didn't even plan on inviting me anyways, didn't you?" iwaizumi huffed

"duh!" 

"so why did you want to have lunch together, oikawa-san?" she asked him

"i see" y/n hummed. "im glad you enjoy my company, oikawa-san" she grinned

"no reason~" he cooed in response. "i just wanted to be alone with you, that's all" he said

oikawa nodded along as he transferred some food from his bento onto hers. it was placed on top of her board as she lightly rolls it around. "tell me about that reki guy, will you?" oikawa said with a curious hum. "i always hear you talking about him.." 

y/n peered up at him with a look of confusion, but nodded nonetheless. "i don't know why you'd like to know about him but okay.." 

"reki is my best friend. i met him when i moved to okinawa with my mom. he was my first ever friend and he was the one that taught me how to skate" she explained 

oikawa watched as a fond smile lightly grazed her lips, followed by a distinctive glimmer in her eyes. 

"reki is really amazing. i admire him a lot." she muttered 

"i see." oikawa hummed. "i'll love to meet him one day" he said. y/n perked up at the statement. "really?" she asked "don't worry, if you ever met him you'll get along just fine! reki is very friendly" she said with a smile 

oikawa simply nodded and quietly ate his food. she did the same, and they both sat in silence. "hey, y/n" oikawa muttered "you really like skating huh?" he mused 

"oh well... yeah, i guess so" she said. "can you teach me how?" oikawa asked with a cheeky grin. "teach you..?" she cocked her head to the side. "why?" 

"no reason." oikawa huffed "but will you do it?" 

"sure!" 

"put your foot here, and push with the other" she demonstrated as she explained. "then you just have to keep your balance" 

oikawa watched with calculating eyes, nodding along from time to time as he listened. "usually, tricks should come later on when you've already mastered the basics. but it was pretty easy for me, so maybe you can do it too, oikawa-san" she said 

"that was an ollie. reki said that if you got that down, you'll be able to do other tricks." she said. "it should be easy enough to learn" she grinned "just watch videos like i did!" 

she did an ollie and skated closer to him. 

oikawa sweat dropped and timidly placed his foot on the skateboard. "i don't think it'll be that easy, y/n-chan" he chuckled 

"yo, what the hell are you two doing?" 

they both looked back to see hanamaki, matsukawa, and iwaizumi walking towards them. hanamaki laughed and pointed at oikawa "are you learning how to skate?" he snickered 

"do a flip!" matsukawa hollered 

"i can't do a flip yet!" oikawa exclaimed "and don't laugh at me. you're probably no better than i am" he rolled his eyes. "but y/n-chan could probably do it" he said

"oh y/n?" matsukawa mused. "can you enlighten us with your skating?" he snickered 

"you always carry that around but we've never actually seen you skate" hanamaki chimed in 

y/n blinked at them and looked down at her board. "i guess i can do that" she said "but we'll need a bigger space than the grounds" she said as she motioned to the outside of the gym, where they were standing

"something like..." she trailed off as she looked around the area "like the roof?" she muttered 

the boys sweat drop and look at her in concern and confusion. "the roof?" they simultaneously asked 

"yeah. i'll jump and do a flip like you asked." she said with a shrug as she makes her way to the stairway leading to the rooftop 

"hey hey! hold on!" matsukawa interjected "are you trying to kill yourself?!" he exclaimed 

"no im trying to jump off the roof and do a flip." she shook her head 

"exactly! it's the same thing!" hanamaki shrieked out "you'll die!" 

"i won't die" she reassured them, thought it did not work in the slightest. "i've done this numerous times." she smiled at them 

"is that supposed to be comforting?" iwaizumi sighed and rubbed his temples in distress. "shittykawa. do something about this" iwaizumi said as he sent oikawa a glare 

"ahaha, right right" oikawa chuckled sheepishly. he then turned to face y/n, only to be met with thin air. "y/n.." he muttered "where is she.." he spluttered and looked up, eyes widening as he spotted her on the rooftop preparing to jump off "hey! y/n-chan get down! this feels like a crime scene in the making!" he rambled as he tried to persuade her to come down 

"oikawa-san, please watch carefully!" she yelled 

"no way! get down here right now!" oikawa yelled back at her 

"jump down?!" she yelled "okay! im gonna do it now!" 

oikawa paled as he shook his head and made an x with his arms "no! i said get down! but use the stairs! don't jump!" 

she simply ignored him and jumped anyways, much to the boys' horror. "this feels nostalgic" she muttered to herself with a smile as the wind made her hair fly around 

she spun around and grinned as the adrenaline started to make her heart pound. she placed her hand on top of her chest and kept her eyes ahead, although her mind was wandering back to her moments back in s

"holy shit" oikawa muttered as they watched her maneuver through the air as if it was no big deal 

"y/n is fucking amazing" he blinked his widened eyes and watched in bewilderment as she lands on the ground with a loud thud, followed by the mild screeching of the wheels against the concrete. 

"oikawa-san, this is called 'siderail slide' miya taught it to me." she said as she kicked her board around and let it land on its side by the edges of the concrete 

(WAIT IDK IF THAT'S THE NAME LMAO I MADE THAT UP I TRIED TO LOOK IT UP BUT I CAN'T FIND WHAT IT'S CALED SORRY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLS LOL) 

her feet landed on the side of the deck as she maneuvers her way around to turn. "stop explaining and get back here!" iwaizumi scolded her "are we going to let the fact that you jumped off a roof slide just like that?!" 

"and this is a kick flip." she said as she ignored iwaizumi and did the trick as told. "it should be easy enough to do if you know how to ollie." she said 

"hey, what's going on here?!" 

her eyes widened as she heard the same teacher's voice and desperately tried to halt her movement. although she wasn't fast enough and she was now frantically ushering the man to move away 

"ah! sensei! move! im gonna hit you!" she shrieked as she tried wobbled around 

"what the-- hasegawa-san you shouldn't--" 

he couldn't finish his words as her board suddenly got dangerously close to his face. the whirring wheels and the snow monster design almost slapping him right then and there. 

"SORRY!" she shrieked as she jumped over him and fell on the ground, rolling around, along with her board until she hit a wall nearby 

"y/n-chan! are you okay?!" oikawa shrieked in distress as he pushed the man away and sprinted to the girl. "im okay, oikawa-san" she said with a wince 

"but my butt hurts from that fall" she pouted "and my hand-- BLOOD!" she shrieked in fear. she holds the bleeding hand away from her as her expression turns into dread. "wipe it off.." she gagged as she looked at it in horror

"this is what bothers you the most out of everything that's happened?!" oikawa sighed in exasperation, though he did as he was told. 

"i don't like blood." she shuddered. "broken bones are what im used to" 

"im starting to worry for your well being if broken bones is something you consider 'the usual'." oikawa sweatdropped

behind them, the teacher glared and held his hand out expectantly. "i was wondering what the screaming was about." he said "but i didn't expect to walk in on whatever that was" 

"give me the skateboard, hasegawa-san." he demanded, making her whole body go ghostly pale 

"no uh.. i'll take detention instead" she bargained with a sheepish smile. "nope. give me the skateboard." the teacher shook his head as he went to grab the deck 

"NO! you can't take that!" she panicked and quickly grasped the other end "i can't skate without it!" she exclaimed 

"exactly." the teacher said. "you need to learn your lesson." 

"but -- but reki made that! i can't lose it! what if it breaks?!" she shrieked, now starting to gradually get more desperate 

"its not gonna break. and i don't know who this reki boy is, but you have to stop including him in everything." the teacher sweat dropped "and let go of the damn skateboard, kid. im not gonna throw it away, im just confiscating it" 

she shook her head as she peered up at him with exaggeratedly teary eyes, each looking like a pool of water waiting to just overflow. 

"will i get it back tomorrow?" 

"no." 

"then im not giving it!" 

"kid, cmon. your making this job harder for me" the man sighed in exasperation ."just give it." he said as he pulled it away from her and walked away. "hope you learned your lesson, kid. you'll get this back soon enough" 

y/n watched his retreating figure with a deadpanned look. she slowly faced oikawa and grabbed his hand. "should i break into his office and steal it?" 

oikawa sweat dropped and shook his head. "you shouldn't. you'll get into more trouble" he said 

"y/n!!" matsukawa and hanamaki yelled as they dove in to check her for injuries. "are you okay?! that was sick as hell but be careful!" hanamaki exclaimed. "you're bleeding!" 

"and your board got taken! don't worry, that teacher's nice. he'll give it back to you soon" matsukawa reassured her 

y/n drowned their voices out as she laid back down on the concrete, looking absolutely lifeless. "i crave death" she squeaked out as her eye twitches in horror 

"cmon now" iwaizumi sighed "it's not that bad" 

"yes it is. i just lost the only thing i have left of reki. it's over" she sulked 

"someone make the pain go away" she pleaded 

"which one? the heartbreak kind or your injuries?" 

"both please." 

a few buildings away from the school adam sat by the balcony of his newly rented hotel room. he held a binocular by his eyes as he watched the scene go down with a wide grin

"my eve hasn't lost her touch i see" he mused as he took a sip of his wine. "her skating is still as immaculate as ever" adam said as he let out a sigh of pleasure

"it makes my skin crawl!" he exclaimed

"and she.." he trailed off as his vision averts over to her, who was being helped by the boys. "is frowning. my eve is frowning." adam muttered as his grip around the device tightens, causing a soft snap to be heard.

his smile then fell as he watched the teacher walk away with y/n's skateboard through his binoculars. "but that nuisance is taking my little y/n's skateboard..?" he muttered

"you, dog." he called

"yes, mr.ainosuke?" tadashi replied

"get that skateboard back." he demanded as he threw the binoculars away, not caring that it had broken due to the impact. "and give it back to her as soon as possible" he said. 

"but.. are you not worried she'll know you're here?" tadashi asked him with furrowed brows 

adam snapped his eyes towards him and glared. "what was that? we're you about to disobey my orders just now?" he scowled through gritted teeth 

"do you have something to say? tadashi?" 

tadashi slightly bowed his head and replied. "no sir. i have no opinions." 

adam scoffed, followed by a grim laugh. 

"yeah. as always." 

sorry for the spelling / grammar mistakes if there are any :<

[dualumina]

WHERE CAN I GET A ZEXAL BOX?!?!?! I NEEEEEEED!!!!!

Here are the links that originally talked about it. It was noted at the time that it could only be ordered on KONAMI STYLE, Konami’s official product website.

Most Japanese online stores, as I have come to learn over the past year, will only ship within Japan. However, there are several, several websites that are known as "proxy shipping services" and essentially act as a middle man.

For pre-ordering the Zexal Box I used FromJapan at the time, but I've also used ZenMarket and Buyee. White Rabbit Express is good for getting items that are exceptionally hard to acquire (as not all sellers are comfortable selling to proxies) but are more expensive as a result.

I can tell you now that getting that Box was an absolute hassle. KONAMI STYLE had a limit of something like 3 orders per LOCATION, meaning that if a proxy service had reached the max 3, from literally anyone who ordered through them, that was it.

On top of that, the orders were done in further batches, depending on when the Box would be sent out. I believe it went Late April, Early June, Late June, and Early July. It took me two attempts to finally get the late June slot, those time slots sold out like crazy in the first 48 hours.

In terms of what it cost, the Box itself cost me 22'000 yen, with the additional 400 yen for both attempts from using the proxy service, and lastly 6,691 yen for shipping to my location. A grand total of 29'091 yen, or about 263.26 USD.

That may seem like a lot, but there are some Numbers that, not even joking, cost easily ten times that. Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker alone is, at the time of writing this, 2778.85 USD at the LOWEST price.

So why am I explaining all this? Because that way when I go and point you to eBay, and show you prices like these...

...you won't get a heart attack and/or think that these sellers are trying to rip you off. They are making a profit, but not as much as you might think. This was a hard to get item and the price justifies it.

Prices are about the same on websites like Yahoo Japan (one of the popular auction websites that's used in Japan). While you might be lucky and find something cheaper from a Japanese listing site, unless you feel comfortable reading Japanese to be sure all items are included, I wouldn't chance it personally.

Be very, very careful if you see any listings for under 250 USD, as they might not include the cards (the two listings above are the cheapest ones I saw that confirmed the cards were included).

Some folks did just buy the set for the sake of the cards, and as such are selling the box, the necklace, and so on. If you don't care much for the cards, then these are some ideas of what you'd be paying

Hopefully that's plenty of information for ya. Happy hunting! ^^/
