Author's Notes:

Mizuki Kokoa: This is when things get really outta hand, please do hang on and try not to get lost in the craziness~!

SaltyCandy: I'm warning you all, this will be full of OOCness, almost falling off buildings, unreasonable drowsiness, and more state of the art hooligans that came from nowhere. And more thanks for the favorite, follows, and reviews especially from The Real Runey! The constructive criticism helped!

= Chapter 4: Love n' Lost Signals =

Hiroto had finally calmed down again after Kidou simply explained that the chairman was out on a meeting. Fubuki and Otonashi, however, laid Yukimura down on a nearby sofa before returning to the others.

"And you're here because….?" Kidou now interrogated his former rival for his presence, raising an accusing eyebrow at him.

Instead of answering, the brunet made himself comfortable on a large leather couch. He casually put his feet on the table and began flicking through the channels making the other strategist rather impatient, made obvious by the uncontrollable tapping of his foot.

"Fudou Akiooo!" The Teikoku commander finally yelled, walking towards the latter who was clearly ignoring him.

"Yes, mom?" said former delinquent answered with a mocking tone on his voice.

A vein became visible on the midfielder's forehead as he growled. His sister took on the responsibility to get in between them and stop him before he got into a fist fight.

"Why is everyone getting angry today?" Midorikawa asked himself quietly.

Fubuki, who stood next to the greenet, found himself shaking his head before turning to his fainted kohai. 'Poor Yukimura-kun, this is the eighth time you've fainted today, hopefully we'll still be able to go to the Endangered Animal Convention, and you'll be able to see that panther… like you wanted…'

The defensive-striker sighed as he walked up to the first year and covered him properly. He knelt next to him while repeatedly cleaning the sweat off the collapsed boy's forehead. It appeared he had a fever too. Fubuki's eyebrow twitched when he heard Kidou yelling at Fudou who continued searching for an interesting program on Gouenji's forty-five inch flat screen. He already wanted to explode at the two. What were they, five-year-olds?! An irritated expression showed on his face as his head slowly, albeit creepily, turned to the strategists.

"Yuuto-kun… Akio-kun…?" the two former Teikoku captains gulped fearfully when they noticed the wolf striker's dark aura despite his smiling face. They both knew that he would only dare to use a person's first name if he was seriously irritated by them.

"Do you mind keeping it down? Yukimura-kun is resting, remember? It would be horrible for him to wake up in this state when he has a terrible fever now wouldn't it, Yuuto-kun and Akio-kun?" Fubuki made it perfectly clear when his soft green eyes suddenly sharpened into a deadly orange pair, that if Yukimura woke up now, they would be finished.

The Teikoku duo started to wonder if the gentle Shirou was possessed by the not-so-kind Atsuya before they shook their heads and agreed to be more quiet. The Kira Company duo, who were a little further from the scene, were at a loss for words.

"Arigatou~!" As bright as ever, Fubuki carried on caring for Yukimura leaving the others to wonder how strange people they all were.

"F-Fudou-san, can you please tell us why you're here? Do you need to see Gouenji-san too?" Otonashi asked after recovering from what just happened, quietly of course.

"Well at least somebody asked nicely," the ex-mohawk shot a glance at Kidou a.k.a the 'somebody who didn't ask nicely', before starting to answer properly. "I'm here to see Gouenji Katsuya-san."

"So, a message for his father, huh? Fuyuka-san asked you to deliver it?" Otonashi clarified after she put two and two together.

Fudou nodded with a smug. "She figured since I tend to come over a lot, I'd be best fit."

The bluenette raised an eyebrow, much like how her brother did, to his reasoning. Even though it wasn't officially announced, it was no secret that the Resistance Japan coach and the now Inazuma General Hospital nurse were in a relationship for the past year. With Fuyuka being naturally shy and Fudou being.. well, Fudou, the two could only made it known to a chosen few. Since Otonashi was one of the first ones to be informed, she took it upon herself to tell it to the rest of the team. Now that she thought about it, it may or may not have made the lavender-haired angry. She really should have just shut her mouth like what Tachimukai suggested, on a non verbatim way of course. But who could blame her? She's a journalist for crying out loud! Fuyuka should've known she couldn't keep secrets. But there was no crying over spilled milk. What done was done and she did apologize for it. They were all good now and that's the end of that.

"You come over here often?" Otonashi was cut out from her thoughts as Midorikawa gave the man a questioning look.

"Yes, he does!" Everyone in the room turned to a tall, black-haired male with a scowl glued to his face.

"Osamu-kun?" Saginuma flinched at the dark tone that once again emerged from the Hakuren coach. "Sssshhh… Yukimura-kun is sleeping, 'kay?" The former Epsilon captain fearfully obliged before quietly moving to the rest who mentally agreed to be more silent.

"What are you doing here?! Didn't Gouenji tell you not to come back after you kept on trying to get him drunk?" Saginuma exclaimed in a hushed tone.

"WHAT?!" the others yelled but covered their mouths quickly when they felt terror in Fubuki's narrowed eyes. Strangely, the scariest thing was the smile he kept on his face.

"Oh come on, I came to deliver something this time," Fudou whispered his protest.

"That was the same thing you said before you spiked his drink when he was having dinner with the Prime Minister!" Saginuma continued. "Luckily, he noticed that his drink was different!"

"Fudou…" the others looked at the brunet with disbelief.

"That would have been a hilarious video for MyTube-I mean, I really have to deliver something for his father! Fuyuka asked me too." The taller male wasn't convinced until Fudou showed him the letter. After a good scanning, the goalkeeping-striker narrowed his eyes and gave him back the letter.

"Fine! But if you get in trouble it's not my fault," Saginuma huffed before realizing three familiar faces who also did not come with an invitation nor a notice. "Why are you guys here?" he finally asked.

"Oh, we were supposed to hand in a proposal to Gouenji-san but he wasn't in his office so we came here and found out that he wasn't here too. So, now we're just waiting," Midorikawa explained with a nervous chuckle. "As for Fubuki and Yukimura, we found them and they tagged along,"

"'Found.' Right." The ever-so-sarcastic Fudou commented while air-quoting his chosen word.

"Sou ka," Saginuma nodded, ignoring the black and white jacketed male.

"Where have you been, Saginuma?" A voice asked the taller male. They all turned to see none other their cheerful friend Endou.

"Endou? Why aren't you with the team? Did you find the first years?" Kidou confronted the goalkeeper who just responded with a tired sigh.

"No. We heard them though, apparently they're on the third floor and Hikaru keeps breaking things! I left Sangoku in charge so I think they'll be-" The brunet halted his chattering when he noticed a few more faces. "Hiroto and Midorikawa? Fubuki? Aré? And Fudou, too? What are you guys doing here? Did Gouenji call you for back-up?! Geez, is he really that overprotective of his sister?! Eh, Yukimura? Is he alright?" He bombarded his questions all while pausing to look at every person he mentioned. He finally pointing at the only teen in the room, painting worry on his face.

Fubuki gave him a sad smile in return. "He has a high fever but it's going down so don't worry, Endou-kun,"

"We'll explain everything later," Midorikawa inserted.

"Ano… okay. Is Toramaru with Yuuka-chan?" Endou asked not really sure who he should be looking at at the moment and so decided to scratch his head instead.

"Kind of, he should be back soon though," Kidou casually reassured the other coach.

"Sou ka. So, anyway.. Saginuma, where have you been? We haven't seen you since Gouenji left," Endou turned back to the male who was once known as Desarm.

Saginuma looked to the side before speaking. "Well…" He began hesitantly.

= At the meeting =

"Stupid Signal! Darn everything! First Toramaru, then Endou and now Saginuma?! Urgghhhh! Why does this keep on happening?!" Gouenji cursed everything over and over again in the men's restroom before sighing and walking to the door to go signal hunting yet again. With caution, he peeked his head through a small opening he made while looking on both sides. He then tiptoed out and slowly made his way down the corridor.

"The men's comfort room, really?" As if on cue, a voice caught the chairman off guard and he turned to see the deadpan female source of the question.

"I needed to shine my shoes," Gouenji tried to regain his usual coolness but knew he failed when Karibe started laughing. 'Shuuya, really?' he mentally facepalmed at his own antics.

"S-shine your s-shoes? That's what you're going with?" Karibe managed in between laughs, making the former ace striker wonder how something as such could look so gracious.

"Shut up! I'm at my limit here! So, maybe I heard it had good signal in there, so what? Why are you even stalking me?!" Gouenji who was completely red in the face, yelled in a very uncharacteristic tone which made Karibe laugh even more. He huffed before turning his heel to storm off but was stopped when she grabbed his arm for the second time this day.

"I'm not stalking you, flame-brain. I'm just wondering why you're avoiding the meeting?" She asked, back to her composed self.

The flustered chairman let out a tired sigh. "I'm just worried about my sister.." The flame striker traced his hair using his fingers, showing a more calm expression. "I don't really care about the meeting," he admitted, showing his caring side for a small moment. Karibe looked at him with disbelief. Was this the same man who was always serious and intense? She suddenly snapped out of it when she noticed his eyes narrowed.

"Did you just call me... 'flame-brain'?" he asked her good-heartedly.

She smirked before turning away. "Hah, I said it to get you back to normal."

She looked back to find him smiling at her. "Let's go back to the meeting," He moved to her side as they walked back together before Gouenji pulled out his phone again.

"Wait. That's right, I never called Kidou yet!" The flame striker typed in the strategist's number and walked swiftly to the edge of the corridor.

"What the heck is wrong with you today?" Karibe found herself sweatdropping. Her question was left in the air as the chairman started to open a curtainless window, letting the air-condition out of the building. He awkwardly squiggled his upper body out the window to stretch the arm that was holding the phone, much like how he did while he was on the tree branch. The Arakumo Gakuen coach just shook her head and smiled at everything she's seeing.

= At the Gouenji Residence =

The adults' whispered conversations was halted when a ringtone reached their ears. They all watched as two bloody red eyes widen - why or how they could have seen it behind his green-tinted glasses, no one would ever know - at the sight of his smartphone.

"Holy sh-" the dreadlocked male stopped as soon as he saw the menacing look in his sister's eyes. "..shrimp!" He caught himself making the counselor nod in approval.

"Okay, minna. Listen. Whatever happens, do not open your mouths." He ordered to the confused bunch before taking in a deep breath.

"Moshi moshi, Gouenji." He worded calmly. A sweat traced from his forehead as he saw the state of his soon-to-panic comrades.

"Ah. Finally! I've been trying to reach the others for five minutes now! Can I please talk to Yuuka?" Gouenji pleaded straight to the point while shouting at his phone.

"Oh. Yuuka. You want to talk to Yuuka. Of course, why not. There's an absolutely definite reason why you would want to talk to her. Even if I was in your position, that's what will be my first concern. It's funny, you know, how important our sisters are to us. I've always thought we have a lot in common. Me and you." He tried to stall the talk while he thinks of an excuse.

"Pfft! Really, Kidou-kun?!" His impromptu speech was interrupted when Fudou couldn't further contain his laughter, earning an irritated glance from everyone.

"Is that Fudou I hear?! Why is that maniac in my house?!" They all heard Gouenji shout, making everyone gulp in unison. Fubuki walked to the group who was almost shaking in fear, wondering what was the commotion all about.

"I wouldn't really call this a 'house'," Midorikawa mumbled through his teeth.

"Fudou?! You must be hearing things, Gouenji. There's no trace of that savage here." He said seething his teeth at the emphasized word all the while looking at the former 'joker' with a terrifying sharpness in them.

"Then, why is your voice lower than it usually is? If memory serves me right, I believe that's your 'I-got-to-get-myself-out-of-this-mess' voice."

"Gouenji Gouenji Gouenji.. My, how long have we known each other? Do you really believe I would lie for such a thing? Do you not trust me?"

"Fine. Whatever. Just let me talk to Yuuka."

"Ah right. Yuuka.." Everybody looked at the genius game maker like he just grew a second head. Was he seriously going to continue with this?!

= On the third floor of the Gouenji Residence =

"There! Good as new!" Tenma stepped back from the finished frame he had pieced and glued back together. Aoi walked up to the brunet with a picture that was taped together in the middle.

"Ah, good Aoi! You managed to tape it back together," raimon's current captain scanned the fixed photo, clearly appreciating her hard work.

"Arigatou! You did pretty good too, Tenma!" The bluenette answered with an equally cheerful expression.

"Do you think he'll notice," They all looked at Shinsuke as he asked the most important question.

"Duuuuuh! Of course he'll notice! Just look at this. He's not an idiot ya know! When he comes back we're fried chicken!" The blade striker pointed out the poor craftsmanship in both the photo and the frame. Kariya found himself snickering a bit at the scene.

"Pun intended?" The two faced defender asked mockingly but looked away when he saw death in the blunet's eyes.

"They don't look that - Oh who am I kidding? It looks horrible! And Aoi didn't even try with the picture!" Tenma found himself panicking, not even noticing Aoi's pouting face. He then just gave up and threw himself on the King-sized bed. What comfortable blankets.. Is this silk?! And it was so soft and cozy, he could just..

"Tenma? Tenma? Tenma?!" Aoi continued shaking the captain until she heard soft snores coming from him.

"Is… he sleeping?" Hikaru asked the obvious.

"Seriously? Tenma! Get off Gouenji-san's bed! He'll know you slept on it! Tenma?! Tenma?! Tenma… wow… you're right.. this is really soft… I feel so… zzzzzz..." The other four watched as the younger Tsurugi fell asleep beside the snoring brunet.

"What is with this bed?" Shinsuke sweatdropped. The taller three looked at each other before turning back to the sleepers - mostly at the bed of course but no one needed to know that.

It wasn't long before they joined in on the slumber. It was almost as if the bed was calling them. They just couldn't resist. All became victims but a certain cat-eyed defender. "Sweet dreams." He smirked. "Bakas."

"Blackmail, blackmail, blackmail," The tealnet chuckled deviously to himself. He checked the time. It was already 8:47pm. He then pulled out his cellphone that matched his hair. "Time to get to work, hehe."

= Back at the meeting =

"Enough!" Karibe almost jumped from where she was standing. This was honestly the first time she heard him shout with a threatening tone. She was used to his composed and collected voice that gave orders to everyone. No matter how much pressure he was getting into, he would always managed to do his job with utmost efficiency and end up smiling warmly at the end of the day.

"You're obviously stalling! What the heck are you stalling for?! Yuuka's not there, is she?! Just tell me already!"

"Gouenji, calm down. It's-"

"Nii-san." His strategist friend was interrupted by a weirdly familiar voice. It seemed like his phone was snatched from him.

"Y-Yuuka?!"

"Hai. It's me."

"U-Uh.. Really?! I was sure you were-"

"It's me."

"O-Oh. Sorry. I thought-"

"So, what did you want to krsh kshhh-"

"Ah! Wait! The connection! I'm losing it again!" He instantly panicked and reached even higher, placing himself in an unbalanced position.

"I'll talk to kshh later so-"

"Yuukaaa!" Karibe ran the short distance and pulled Gouenji's coat inside the window. She was too engulfed with fear of the man falling from the seventh-floor of the building to notice her now broken heeled shoe.

"Cut out again! Tch!" He said not even realizing he almost fell off at incredible heights.

"Are you crazy?! You almost fell off the building!" Her features were changed to softer ones as she was presented with two worry-filled brown orbs. "Are you okay, Gouenji?"

"Well, at least I know she's fine now." He sighed in relief as he leaned against the closed window beside the one he opened. Finally, Yuuka's fine. He could relax now. It was all just the signal. He reminded himself to apologize to Kidou after he went home. His friend might not have appreciated his tone and accusations.

His relaxing was suddenly pushed aside as Karibe's words finally crossed him. Did she just call him by his name? Only his real name? As much as he could remember, the quiet woman had only addressed him as chairman, Ishido-san, Setei, and lately with flame-brain, to his grimace.

He finally looked up and see the said female who was now just a few inches from his face, studying his features. He felt his world put to a stop as he had a better view of two glowing violet-pink orbs and rosy pink lips. Was it just him or was her eyes actually glistening? It might have since he couldn't get his eyes off hers anymore.

"Oh. You're finally okay! That's great news." She chimed with the warmest smile he'd ever seen in his life. She didn't even had a clue what just occurred. "Come on. Let's get back to the meeting." She then turned her heel to go not even aware at the problem with her shoe. She felt herself slowly descend head-first, getting closer to the floor bit-by-bit. She readied her arms to cushion her fall, already accepting the fact that she couldn't do anything about it anymore. Just when she had completely surrendered to gravity, her body stopped mid-air and ascended once again.

"That could have been a nasty fall." Her gaze was instantly stolen by his own sharp brown ones and her body by his two strong arms. She didn't even need to see his whole face to know that he was plastering what it seemed to be either or both a smirk and a smile.

"Nice catch." She returned the smirk with one of her own. Why did she feel happy all of a sudden? She was completely lost within those blazing earth-colored eyes and have forgotten everything. Her surroundings, her problems, even her name, everything. It was like some magic spell has been cast. All she was focused on was him and him only. Why were her lips moving on its own to form a smile even?

"You truly are." He remarked, mostly referring to the two orbs of mixed lavender and sakura.

A moment of silence came in between them as the situation have finally weighed in their minds.

".. e-excuse me?"

"I-I mean.. you truly are.. okay now! Yeah, I'm glad you're okay now! Soweshouldgotothemeetingthey'llprobablybelookingforusnow.." He didn't waste a breath on voicing out the composed sentence in his head. He mentally slapped himself for how ridiculous his words were. If anyone of his former teammates have known about this, they wouldn't let him live it down.

"Wait! My shoe!" She called out while pointing at her violet stilettos.

"Right! You can have mine." 'or I can carry you' His mind decided that he was really gonna kill himself if he ever say the last part of that sentence. Yeah, they might have known each other for a year or two already but those interactions were completely professional. Even when they were 'elected' to their positions and started chatting more, this meeting was honestly just the time they had more to talk about other than business. So, telling her something like he's in love or attracted to her before they start dating was out of the question. Speaking of which, 'dating, huh?' He smiled on the thought for a moment before shaking his head yet again. 'Wait wait wait wait wait! What does carrying her and dating had to do with anything?!'

"You're the chairman for crying out loud! You can't step inside that room with just your socks!" She sighed in disbelief shocking him out of his trance. "Besides, I got this covered." He watched her carefully as she break the other heel of the partner of her three-inches shorter footwear, leaving him amazed at her fast and efficient thinking.

'Of course you have a solution for that.' He shook his head in amusement, smiling as they head back to the sleep-inducing room for the last part of the meeting.

= Back At the Gouenji Residence =

Everyone gaped at the innocent looking snow prince as he turned off Kidou's phone. He gave it back to the half-astounded half-terrified penguin lover along with the crumpled paper that he got from who knows where.

"You just.. copied her voice.." Hiroto broke the silence with a hesitant statement.

"That. Was. AMAZING!" Kidou might have already hugged the talented Hakuren coach if he wasn't already glaring at the former black haired fake alien. The blacket shakingly gulped at the retreating figure, letting him go back quietly to his navy-haired kohai.

"Well, now that Fubuki saved our behinds on that one.." Kidou started talking leaving a dreadful look at an already terrified black-braided-haired male. "Saginuma, I believe you owe us an explanation."

"I just used that paper crumpling technique too! That's all, okay?! Stop looking at me like I could actually piss off Gouenji-san! You weren't the one who worked with him while he was still Setei!" Saginuma paused at his whispered-shouts when gruesome memories started pouring in his brain. "S-S-Setei is t-the most terrifying being w-who h-h-has ever walked t-t-the Earth!" He subconsciously walked to a corner and stayed there while emitting a depressing aura, leaving the rest to sweatdrop at his sudden change.

"Gentlemen, come on. Lose those stressed faces. Here. Drink this. This peach juice calms everyone down." The ponytailed ex-mohawk caught everyone's attention with his unexpected salesman side with an unsuspecting bottle in tow.

= Another part of the third floor of the Gouenji Residence =

"We're finally on the third floor!" Hamano practically kissed the shining grounds of the mentioned storey of the building. Kirino sighed when he looked at him. If the blacket went on he was most likely going to marry that spot he was touching so tenderly.

"Jeez.. what time is it?" The pinket rubbed his blue eyes when his best friend and former captain asked the question or yawned it rather.

Akane didn't miss the opportunity to catch her oblivious model "Sleepy Shin-sama~! Wonderful~! Wonderful~! Wonderful~!" She carried on not even noticing that the tired prodigy was looking directly at her.

"What's wonderful, Yamana?" Shindou asked the chestnut haired girl with sleep in his voice.

"Aré? Oh… ano… ano…" Akane began to panic when she couldn't make something up.

"Hello, Kirino-senpai, minna," a dark voice sounded from behind them. They all turned quickly to see none other than the devious two-faced hunter himself.

"Kariya!" All the sleep in Kirino vanished when he saw his dastardly rival and kohai.

"What were you thinking sneaking off like that! Where are the others?!" Shindou interrogated the younger male.

"Oh they're just sleeping," the tealnet answered mischievously. "They probably won't wake up for awhile, hehe."

"What did you do Kariya?" Midori was the next to question him

"It's not what I did…" he stated while walking to a wall. He lifted a photo of Gouenji and Yuuka, revealing two buttons, he then pressed the one atop the other. The older students watched as two doors appeared and parted each other. He then stepped inside and turned around to face his stunned teammates with a deadly smirk on his face.

"It's what I'm going to do," And with that the doors closed before Kirino could even lunge himself at the troublesome first year.

"Kariyaaaaaa!" the pinket yelled furiously.

"I can't believe this!" Hamano fell to his knees.

"I know how you feel." Kurama laid a hand on his surfer teammate's shoulder. "We all know Kariya's evil but.. this is just too much even for him to do." He elaborated rather calmly.

"No, not that.." Hamano stared at the short striker with a serious expression. "I can't believe there was an elevator the whole time! We wasted half the day using the STAIRS!" He screamed while flailing his arms, making the serpent forward sweatdrop.

"We have to find the rest of the first years and stop whatever Kariya's planning!" Sangoku announced to the rest, not minding Hamano's ever dramatic antics.

"Hai!"

= Outside Momoka's House =

Knock Knock Knock Knock

"Hm? I think someone's at the door!" Momoka basically strided to their wooden entrance at the declaration of the only first year.

Momoka gasped the moment she peeked at their front door's security camera. "Yuu-chan! It's Toramaru-san!"

Three high school students exchanged glances before going straight to the blonde's side.

"Momoka-san, I know Yuuka-chan's there.." The spiky-haired adult kept on knocking, persistence lingering on his words.. "I need to tell her something.. please let me see her."

Yuuka turned to her friends just to see them cooing and, in Momoka's case, winking. "W-What? Right now?!" She pouted at them.

Without even eye contacts, the three nodded in unison as if they could read each other's minds. "Aren't you the one who just said you'll tell him now?" Asuka smirked making Yuuka's face gain a slight shade of pink.

"B-B-But how should I tell him? How do I even start? Where should I-"

Momoka put a finger on her friend's mouth. "Shush, girl. Just get out there and say it!"

Her friends dared press a button on the device beside the door and take it to themselves to push the girl out the room.

Toramaru merely blinked in response as the door suddenly opened - gifting him with a beautiful pinkette - and closed like nothing happened.

The tiger striker lowered his eyes, meeting two sparkling black ones. He swore his heart just beat faster than Kabeyama-san could run to a bathroom when something scared him right now. His face burned up at the small smile she decided to bless him with. There and then, he had wished with all his might for this moment to last forever. He was joyfully enamored with the feeling that nothing could ruin this moment he was having with her.. until, he remembered again what he came here to do.

"That's right! Yuuka-chan! Let's go back home! Gouenji-san might be getting back soon!"

"Gouenji-san..?" The high schooler tilted her head as she was snapped out of her daydream. "Gouenji-san?! Gouenji-san again?! Is he all you care about?!" Toramaru's eyes widen with the sight of his unusually angry princess. "What am I, a pebble?! An ant?! His shadow?!" The pink harmless blush on her face was replaced with a dangerous red one, alarming the older male.

"W-What?! No!" He easily connected the dots of why the teen was upset, taking in a defensive stance on the process. He was an idiot! How could he be so insensitive?! He didn't even realized that his soon-to-be-Queen was thinking of herself as nothing but a shadow of his brother. To make matters worse, he was the one who made her feel like that the most!

"Wait, Yuuka-chan! Where are you going?!" His overthinking made him almost miss the running figure of the girl of his dreams. He dashed after her without a second thought.

The pinkette was surprisingly fast. Then again, she was one hell of a known athlete in her school, after all. But enough of that, all Toramaru knew now was he had to catch up to her.

No matter what!

= End of Chapter Four =

Author's Notes:

Mizuki Kokoa: I'm not gonna lie, the romance between Gouenji and Karibe was a little unexpected...but it worked out somehow. I think this one is so far my favorite~! *\^0^/*

SaltyCandy: Well, this was simply one of those chapters where a different thing should have happened but another happened instead. And if anyone's wondering why and how did Fudou have a 'salesman' side.. Just remember how he got Sakuma, Genda, and a team of middleschoolers join him at Shin Teikoku. And said salesman side will, of course, be shown more on the next chapter. Anywho, thanks for the support!
