Hamuko: Minato isn't too good, His back hurts a little, Me and Aigis are taking care of him. No dungeon crawling today.

Akira: Thanks Hamuko, Who told you?

Hamuko: Mitsuru-Senpai did, So you can spend your day. No dungeon crawling without SEES! Got it?

Akira: Yes... Got it. Get Minato healthy okay?

Hamuko: Okay, I promise.

"Minato is out, Maybe I can spend time with Mitsuru and Junpei." Akira said thinking about his day for today.

"That sounds like a nice plan since you have another day off." Morgana said laying in his bed. Akira got his phone out.

"I'll contact Mitsuru right now." Akira said as he called Mitsuru.

12 Minutes later.

"Ah Kurusu, There you are. I was awaiting you." Mitsuru said as Akira arrived.

"So what are we planning? Are you free for now?" Akira said as he wanted to help Mitsuru, She then sighed.

"Yeah, I got nothing to do mostly besides studying." Mitsuru said sighing, Akira had an idea.

"Ill invite you to where I make coffee." Akira said to Mitsuru.

"The Kirijo group says they don't need me yet. I guess I will go for a quick coffee." Mitsuru smiled, Akira showed her all the way to the cafe.

"Hey Sojiro, I have a friend right here." Akira said coming inside, Sojiro never noticed her before.

"Oooh, Who's this lovely lady?" Sojiro said meeting Mitsuru.

"She is Mitsuru Kirijo, The daughter of the Kirijo group..." Akira said, Mitsuru nodded in agreeance

"Yes. I am, Also the student council president of his High School..." Mitsuru said being slightly more serious. Sojiro knew whats going on.

"Hmm, Interested in making her coffee?" Sojiro said fastly.

"Thats what im gonna do." Akira said as he nodded, He then got to work.

"You can make coffee and curry?" Mitsuru said amazed at Akira's cooking skills.

"Yeah I do, I knew how to help make it, Sojiro did teach me." Akira said as he blended the coffee while the curry was cooking slowly. Akira made it cream and black, Mitsuru sipped it, Akira was worried.

"Hmm for this coffee..." Mitsuru said, Akira sighed in a worried matter.

"It's bad? I knew it, It's cause of me being absent on cooking." Akira said being worried. Mitsuru smiled from the lovely taste!

"That isn't true Kurusu." Mitsuru said.

"Its really that good!?" Akira said being amazed by the coffee he made.

"Yes indeed. This is great coffee you make." Mitsuru said in delight as she drank it all.

"Thank you Mitsuru. Im glad you love the coffee I made." Akira said being amazed. Mitsuru suddenly felt down.

"Yeah... Your welcome. *Sigh*" Mitsuru said as she suddenly felt down a little.

"Something wrong? You seem down." Akira noticed, Mitsuru sighed slightly.

"Im trying to find a solution on doing the Kirijo group without my father." Mitsuru said thinking about her future.

"Hmm, What are your big plans?" Akira said about mitsuru's thinking.

"We try to make a new robot like Aigis. But we don't know just yet." Mitsuru started then stopped, Akira was lost suddenly.

"Any types of blueprints for her?" Akira said being confused.

"No, We thought of her as a mechanical maiden like Aigis." Mitsuru planned her future robot.

"That would be cool for it. Did you plan the name of the new robot you designing?" Akira said coming up with a name for the robot.

"Yes we found the name. You want to be honest in hearing it?" Mitsuru said coming up with the name.

"I would love to listen to it." Akira said with a smile.

"It would be called the 5th generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon Labrys." Mitsuru said explaining the name.

"Hmm, That would be nice. Would she be like a sister to Aigis?" Akira said wanting to compare the two.

"I guess so, If you compare it to that, Then yes." Mitsuru said thinking about the design, Akira noticed this.

"Sounds amazing. I wish I would help out." Akira said. Mitsuru suddenly stopped him.

"No! I think we can handle that ourselves!" Mitsuru said trying to leave Akira out of it."

"Okay...? Never seen you act like this before." Akira said as Mitsuru realized something.

"Wait, Did they make her yet?" Mitsuru said being aware, Akira shook his head as a no.

"No news of her. So the Kirijo group planned to be delayed until I was found." Mitsuru said being slightly worried.

"Yikes! Okay I wanna make a promise, If you return to your world, You gotta show Labrys to me." Akira said making a deal. Mitsuru chuckled on it.

"Hahaha, Okay then. It's a promise on meeting Labrys." Mitsuru said accepting the deal, Akira pumped his fist.

"Thanks Mitsuru! Also you want some curry?" Akira said bringing curry over.

"I have my maids make me my own food. Sorry but I'll pass." Mitsuru said on the offer. Akira had another idea.

"Do you want to go out and maybe Socialize?" Akira said thinking.

"I guess I can spend time with you. Ever since Minato hurt his back, I feel slightly worried." Mitsuru said on planning to join with Akira on his day.

"Hey don't worry, I won't go hard." Akira said sitting down face to face from Mitsuru.

"Want to study then?" Mitsuru smiled, Akira began sighing.

"Oh man. I guess I don't have much of a choice don't I?" Akira sighed in annoyance a little.

"You can't with me around." Mitsuru slightly giggled as she tricked Akira.

"Well I want to go with Junpei later..." Akira said, Mitsuru slammed her hands on the table.

"But im caring for you more on your studies!" Mitsuru sighed, Akira groaned and started using his pencil.

"Okay okay, I'll study then." Akira said sighing as he began studying.

Later.

"Whew! Too much studing for me..." Akira said as he was tired out from the studying he had.

"Don't worry, Im helping a lot for you, You should thank me." Mitsuru smiled.

"Yeah, Thanks." Akira said being sarcastic.

"Alright, Im gonna go back now. Thanks for coffee and studying with me. It was actually kind of fun." Mitsuru said looking at the clock

"Yeah, Later Mitsuru." Akira said as Mitsuru left Cafe leblanc, Sojiro looked at the tired Akira.

"So what now? You studied hard and worked on coffee you made." Sojiro said at Akira.

"Ya think? Oh man, My brain feels like it's expanding throughout my skull!" Akira said as his brain was too tired.

"Well go and rest if you need to." Sojiro said being a bit serious on his condition.

"Yeah, Okay then..." Akira said as left, He met Junpei at Shibuya.

"Oh hey man, Whats up?" Junpei said playing cool with Akira.

"Wanna play some games and baseball?" Akira said, Junpei smiled at the idea.

Batting Cages.

"You know, It feels funny how I am here." Junpei said

"How come?" Akira said raising an eyebrow, Junpei was being mad.

"Cause of the timeline mashing into one. Us being into your timeline? It's stupid and funny at the same time. Makes me wanna puke." Junpei said angrily and then hitting a Changeup.

"Don't be worried about that dude." Akira said hitting a curveball.

"But I am! What the hell is going on? Why are we here? What even is our damn purpose? Whoa!" Junpei said throwing questions as he was interrupted by a fastball going by him.

"Junpei, We will find the purpose. Morgana said something about the other world." Akira said as he swung and miss on his Slider,

"And im curious though, Whats with the Hunters Mask rumor flying about?" Junpei said as the machine threw the Cutter and hit the outside of the box.

"I got not a single clue to be honest." Akira shrugged, Junpei looked around.

"Then we should find some way." Junpei said being angry still, Akira had the perfect idea.

"Hey man, I know your pissed off but wanna head to the arcade and play?" Akira smiled at Junpei, He nodded.

"I guess that might remove my stress a little bit, Why not? But please... Don't tell Makoto or Mitsuru! Got it!?" Junpei said warning Akira.

"Okay man, Chill out!" Akira chuckled as he will keep the secret.

Shibuya Arcade

"Man this game is great. Take this!" Junpei said playing the shooting game, He took out two enemies with one move.

"Haha! Watch me, I can do that one better!" Akira said taking out three shooters with three bullets.

"Damn thats amazing." Junpei said as some other kids were watching.

"Those two are awesome." A Shujin student said looking at his friend.

"I know right?" Another boy said wearing a different school clothing.

"Dangit! There I go, So close!" Junpei said before he got teamed on to get game over.

"And I died too... What a surprise." Akira said as he also got teamed by the enemy. Junpei looked at the ranks to see them 7th.

"Look though, We got rank 7th out of the 10 people... WAIT WHAT THE? Number 1!? How?" Junpei said as he amazed how Akira was number #1 in the game. Akira just chuckled with a few words.

"Practice, Just practice Junpei." Akira said calmly.

"Thats the entire damn thing? Just practice?" Junpei said being slightly agitated.

"Well yes, And im outta tokens to play." Akira said checking his pockets to find no tokens he had left, Neither did Junpei.

"Well that sucks, But I had fun!" Junpei said chuckling about the game.

"You think? Shibuya is great with these games." Akira said to him.

"Man that was fun, Not gonna lie. Surprised about the high score though." Junpei said looking at the highest score, They exited the Arcade

"Yeah, See you later Junpei!" Akira said as he began to leave.

"See you man!" Junpei said as he left too.

5:43 P.M.

"Morgana? Hey, Im back... Sorry what happened." Akira apologized to his cat.

"It's fine, I needed some time anyway." Morgana said stretching and Akira noticed his bruise was gone.

"Well that day went all down. But I wonder how the others do tomorrow?" Akira wondered about Minato, Morgana was trying to push something to him.

"Your phone got a notification. It was from Hamuko." Morgana said pushing the phone to him.

"Hold on, Let me read about it... What!?" Akira said pulling up his phone and seeing a surprise.

1 Notification: 3:12 P.M.

Hamuko: Minato's back is better! Now we can get ready for the shadows again!

(5:44 P.M.) Akira: Oh good, How are you dude?

Minato: Very good, I can feel like stretching again. That whiplash did hit my back hard.

Hamuko: Good job!

Mitsuru: Tres Bien! Now we can do some more shadow battling tomorrow.

Akira: Right, Thats good to hear.

Makoto: Were all healthy and good? Cause we are gonna continue on.

Ryuji: All healthy Student president!

Akira: Im gonna go, See you all later?

Mitsuru: See you tomorrow.

"Alright, We got healthy again, So be prepared tomorrow Morgana." Akira said being ready for tomorrow.

"Okay Akira, Got it!" Morgana said to Akira. Akira got onto his matress

"Night." Akira said as they both went to bed for tomorrows trip to the shadow world.
