Three years...
Three years without Minako Arisato, the team called 'Shadow Operatives' went to separate ways into a normal life. They went to college, part time job and focus on their own dreams. As for Shinjiro, he became a repeater as a senior student because he skipped classes often and hospitalized by the coma but he finally graduated. His college course is Biology because he wants to learn and help other people as a doctor. He lived in an apartment with Ken, Koromaru and Akihiko. For some reason, their families weren't very close. So, they decided to live by their own. As the payment for their apartment, they work as a part timer. Even Ken works at the Chagall Cafe. Everything is alright but not too perfect.
At the boys' apartment, Ken is sitting on the floor and wearing his shoes. Koromaru is wagging his tail as he is waiting for his partner to get ready.
Shijiro went closer to them and brought a plastic bag of peanut butter cookies.
"Ready to go, Kid?" he asked.
"Yeah. Koromaru and I were prepared," Ken answered as he got up.
"Here," Shinjiro gave the plastic bag of cookies to Ken.
"Oh! Peanut butter cookies! I'm glad you made this," Ken smiled.
"Yeah. I was supposed to make chocolate chip cookies but I was thinking about Koromaru's condition," Shinjiro explained.
Ken took a bite of the cookie. "Yup! Chocolates aren't allowed for dogs. Here you go, Koromaru," he fed one cookie to Koromaru.
The man's best friend ate it and barked as he snuggled Shinjiro's leg.
"Aw! You love the cookies, don't you? I'll make some beef stew if you came back," Shinjiro cuddled Koromaru happily.
"We're going to the mission in days. So, we'll be back soon," Ken said.
"Alright. Take care you two and don't be reckless like Aki. Tell him that if he didn't take care of you, I'll kick his ass," Shinjiro reminded.
"Haha! Okay. We can take care of ourselves. Well, time to go. See ya later!" Ken smiled as he went outside.
"Arf!" Koromaru wagged his tail as he said good-bye.
After Ken and Koromaru left for a mission, Shinjiro sighed as he closed and cleaned the kitchen. He went to his bedroom and lied on the bed. Resting his tired body and closed his eyes.
