Afterword
So the summary section's word limit is a little too small for my tastes, thus I decided to add an afterword section this time around.
This story is pretty much more about Shido and Kurumi, and I'm going to warn everyone now that this is not going to change anytime soon. I ship this couple harder than any couple in the world.
That being said, they definitely aren't the only couple that I think look good together, but that's another story for another time.
November 11th is known as Pocky Day, and after realizing that people actually play the Pocky game, I thought of an idea that I just had to write out, and thus this fan fiction was born.
I count this story as a sequel, but not to my first story. Why? To be honest, I've had more ideas but have been too busy and lazy writing them out, so in the end these are not being released in chronological order, but it should still work out in the end. I'm trying to have the story make sense, but at the same time I'm trying to publish them in their corresponding days (such as November 11th and Pocky Day). However this is fan fiction, so I'm not being insanely strict towards myself, so at the same time I wouldn't get my hopes up in thinking that this is going to be the most punctually, grammatically, and sensibly correct story ever.
If you can enjoy the story despite all these problems, then more power to you.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it just had to be done. So here it is.
My thanks go out to Ezaki Glico for Pocky, Mr. Koushi Tachibana for Date A Live, and everyone who has managed to appreciate this story. You all have my eternal and undying gratitude.
Also a brief note: I mentioned Natsumi in this story but stated in the previous story that the setting took place after Volume 7. My excuse is this: when Shido sealed Kurumi's powers during Tanabata during the fan fiction story, it had to have already been a year after the previous Tanabata of the time after Shido sealed Kotori's powers in the original story.
So after sealing Kotori's powers and celebrating Tanabata with Kurumi's clone for the first time, Shido had to have met the Yamai twins, Miku and Natsumi, which means that they are all necessary for this story if I want to make sense out of it based on the original story. The real problem is, however, that if I went all the way to include Origami's story (which by the way is amazing, so I definitely didn't ignore that part because I disliked it in any way or anything like that), there would be too many facts interfering with each other, which would make this fan fiction a bigger mess than it already is.
Most importantly I would have a harder time determining the accurate outcome of things because the time between Origami's arc and the next Tanabata is nearly a year, and who knows what Mr. Tachibana has in store during that part of the timeline. So with that in mind, I hope you'll forgive me for not including the significance of Origami's arc and being vague about Natsumi's arc.
