It's been 2 days and we haven't gotten anywhere. We took Kanade to base with us, but Yuri just kicked us out. Otonashi, Hinata, Ayato, and I were on the roof again, thinking of a plan.
"Guys!" I exclaimed, getting an idea. "We could talk to the members on Yuri's side and convince them to join us. What will Yuri do when theres no battlefront left?"
"That's brilliant!" Hinata exclaimed.
"But, who to start with," Otonashi said thoughtfully.
"I think we should start with Matsushita. He seems pretty easy to convince." I suggested.
"Sounds good. Onward march, soldiers!" Hinata called.
Two days and a lot of convincing later we had gotten almost all of the battlefront on our side. The members of Girl's Dead Monster seemed to be staying out of it, but everyone else seemed to be playing along. There was only one person left, Noda. He was going to be the hardest, mostly because of his obvious crush on Yuri.
I sighed, knocking on his dorm's door. This was going to be interesting. The door opened, revealing Noda standing there.
"Good morning," I said, smiling.
"What do you want," he said flatly.
"I want to talk about Yuri," I began. He groaned. "As you probably know, you and Yuri are the only two people left in the battlefront. We're trying to get everyone to side with us so she has no choice but to befriend Angel."
"And?" Noda asked.
"We want you to join us," I answered.
"I still don't get the point in all this," Noda said.
"Honestly, I feel really bad for Kanade. She seems so alone here, and I want to be someone she can be friends with, as do the rest of us. She's not a bad person, she's just trying to protect herself," I explained.
"I'll join you," Noda said. "On one condition. I can still be friends with Yuri."
"Of course we'll still be friends with her after all this is over. We just need to prove something to her," I reassured him.
"Right. I'll do it," he said.
"Awesome! Let's go get everyone else!" I said, excited. Our plan worked, at least up to this point. That was easier that I expected.
"Alright, here's the plan," I started. Everyone, including Kanade, was gathered up, ready to go into our ex-base. "Yuri's in there right now, and we need to barge in and somehow convince her to be friends with Kanade. Got it?" I saw people nod their heads. "Alright, let's go."
I whispered the password, slamming the door open. Yuri was sitting at the desk in the back of the room, her feet up.
"Yuri!" I announced. "We need to talk."
"What do you want this time. I thought I told you that you aren't welcome here," she hissed, standing up.
"I've got everyone on my side now," I growled.
"Noda! What the heck!" She exclaimed. I looked over at Noda, who raised his halberd.
"I'm sorry, Yuri, but their right. Kanade isn't a bad person, and it's not fair to treat her like she's someone she's not," Noda said.
"I trusted you all," Yuri hissed.
"Yuri, if we never stop fighting, we're never going to leave this place," Otonashi spoke up. "We can't stay here forever."
"He's right. I'm not going to let myself stay here forever. We need to get out of here," Hinata agreed.
"Everyone is against you now, what are your choices?" I taunted.
"Are you trying to use everyone against me? Trust me, it's not going to work," Yuri replied.
"You aren't strong enough to take on all of us, especially when we have Kanade," I said, glancing over at her. She was smiling.
"Please, I just want to be friends," she said calmly. "I don't want to fight you. I know you're not a bad person, and you are incredibly strong, and I respect you for that. But even so, I can't deal with all this fighting." At this, Yuri walked around the desk at stood in front of Kanade. I tensed up, ready to protect her. Yuri put her hands on Kanade's shoulders.
"Maybe we could be friends," Yuri said, sounding far off. I sighed, relieved. "You seem kind of oblivious to everything. I could teach you so much."
"Friends?" Kanade asked, putting her hand out.
"Friends," Yuri answered, shaking her hand.
"That was easy," Hinata said. I chuckled.
"It was."
