Angel Beats! REBORN!
Episode 10: Sacrifice
Four days has passed since Mayu's surprise attack and was saved by the SSS and the Guild. The whole team moved to a new base found three days ago by Yuri and was confirmed that no NPCs hang around inside or outside the building. The Cold War between Kanade and Mayu for Yuzuru still continued.
On the day before they both asked Yuzuru to go on a date the day after.
"Yuzuru, since there's nothing for the SSS to do tomorrow, will you go out with me?"
"L-Like a date?!"
"Yes, like a date"
"Sure…"
"I'll meet you at the Kumin Park at 8:30am then"
Kanade walked away with heavy breathes.
Moments later, Mayu approached Yuzuru.
"Oh, Mayu, something you need?"
"I want to try out this cake at the cake store in the Kumin district"
"When?"
"Tomorrow"
"Oh, umm…"
"I'll take it as a yes, I'll meet you at the Kumin Park by 8:30am, bye" Mayu ran off waving her arm.
How am I going to do this?
The day came; Yuzuru stood by the monument and waited in silence.
What am I going to do?
in the distance, Yuzuru realised two girls were running towards him.
"Yuzuru!"
"Otonashi!"
"What are you doing here?" they both said as the reached Yuzuru.
"U-Umm…"
"Yuzuru…"
"Otonashi…"
"W-Why don't we all go today?"
"Hmph… I guess I don't have a choice" said Mayu.
"I-If you say so…"
Yuzuru let out a sigh, "Thank you for understanding"
This makes my life easier, but…
"S-So, where are we headed?" asked Yuzuru.
"Cake store"
"Amusement Park" they both answered at the same time and gave each other a look.
"Let's go to the Amusement Park then go to the cake store, agreed?" suggested Yuzuru.
"Fine" the two agreed.
The group of three walked towards the Kumin Amusement Park. They arrived at the Amusement Park and went through the line within half an hour.
"So what do you girls want to do?"
"Rollercoaster!"
"Ferris wheel!" they pointed at opposite directions.
Yuzuru sighed as they shot each other another look. In the end, they agreed to go on the Rollercoaster twice since they fought over who gets to sit next to Yuzuru then the Ferris wheel.
First person to sit next to Yuzuru was Mayu which was decided through a fair scissors, paper, rock game.
Mayu's heart rate increased as she sat beside Yuzuru, her face turned slightly red.
"Mayu? What's wrong? Your face is red"
"I-It's nothing"
The ride began, slow as they went up the hill, then a sudden acceleration as they go down.
"Ahh…!" the Yuzuru and the girls screamed as they went through with super high speed.
Left, right, loop, right, down, up, left. The ride ended.
They staggered out of the attraction and went back into the line.
"That was amazing Otonashi!"
"I-It sure was" said Yuzuru as he scratched his head.
"Now it's my turn to sit next to you" added Kanade.
"Yes, I shall lend him to you"
The ride started and was over within two minutes. Next was the Ferris wheel that Kanade was excited about.
They entered the cabin and sat down as the cabin began to rise up to the sky. Kanade and Mayu looked out of the cabin with an excited expression.
The ride suddenly stopped.
"W-What's happening?" asked Kanade, "Are we stuck up here forever?"
"No, there may be older people going on so they stop it for them"
"S-See, there was nothing to be scared of" added Mayu.
"You're the one to talk, you were shivering just then"
"Shut up!"
The ride continued to move and finished. They continued to other rides afterwards.
"Let's have lunch now"
The three went and took a seat at a hotdog stand.
"Three hotdogs please"
Yuzuru retrieved the hotdogs and took his seat.
"I'm digging in" they all said, before they started to eat.
"Otonashi! Try my hotdog!"
"B-But they're the same"
"No, just try it"
"But-" Mayu shoved a piece of the hotdog into Yuzuru's mouth before he could finish.
Kanade looked at her with an unnoticeable frown.
"Yuzuru, try mine too…"
"Kanade, not you too"
"You don't want it?" Kanade's face darkens with sadness.
Yuzuru realises her expression and leaned towards Kanade, "Ahh…"
Kanade gave a smile before she placed the piece of hotdog into Yuzuru's mouth.
They finished off their lunch and continued their date.
Dawn came; they left the Amusement Park and headed to the cake store Mayu wanted to try, 'Maiden's Cakes'.
It seems like a Maid Café…
"Is this it?"
"Yeah"
Mayu rushed inside as Yuzuru and Kanade followed.
"Table for three please"
"Yes master, right away" a women dress in a maid costume answered.
It really is a Maid Café!
She then led them to their table and placed down the menus while they took a seat.
"Mayu, you never told me this was a Maid Café"
"I didn't?"
"No you didn't"
"Do you have a maid fetish?"
"Yuzuru, are you into this stuff?" asked Kanade in a curious tone.
"No! I don't have a maid fetish!"
They began to look through the menu.
"May I take your order now masters?"
Yuzuru flipped through the menu and began his order "Yes, chocolate mud cake, Japanese cheese cake and caramel cake please"
"Right away master"
The cakes arrived ten minutes later.
"Enjoy your cakes, masters"
"Thank you" said Yuzuru.
After they finished their cake and left the cake store. They noticed that a dark figure in a cloak stood in front of them.
"I see you're the one who took my Mayu" said the figure.
"Your Mayu?" repeated Yuzuru.
"You're…" said Mayu in surprise.
"Yes Mayu… it's me"
"You know each other? That's nice, I'm Yuzuru" Yuzuru walked towards the figure for a handshake.
"I know who you are you are the person who stole Mayu from me"
Mayu noticed the figure's hand moving towards his poach.
"Otonashi!" shouted Mayu as she dived for Yuzuru, they both fell onto the ground and avoided a deadly stab from the figure.
"Stop this Fiend!"
"Fiend?" Yuzuru repeated the name.
"Die you thief!" Fiend leaped into the air, "NEO Skill: Death Scythe!"
Yuzuru shielded Mayu with his body. Fiend slashed downwards with his scythe.
"Guard Skill: Distortion!"
Another figure dived in front of Yuzuru and was slashed across the chest.
Yuzuru realised that the one slashed was Kanade and caught her. He looked back to where Fiend was, but he was gone. Blood leaked out of her chest as quick as a heart beat.
"No, no, no" repeated Yuzuru as he gripped onto her hand.
"Yuzuru…"
Mayu approached Kanade with tears in her eyes.
"Mayu… take care of Yuzuru for me okay?"
"Don't you leave me! We still haven't fought it out yet!"
Kanade slowly closed her eyes and her hand slid out of Yuzuru's grip.
"Kanade! Kanade!" he continued to yell her name.
