we see Hiyoko being dragged with Rantaro towards someone who Hiyoko knows and makes her walk along with Rantaro rather than keep trying to resist which confuses him a bit before continuing forwards*
Akane: Yo!. Rant...aro was it?. Meh, i'll call you rant just to keep it simple.
Rantaro: Yes and i don't have a problem with a nickname.
Hiyoko: Oh hi there Akane.
Akane: Oh great, you're here.
Hiyoko: Expected, anyways, i assume you already know about Akane being the Ultimate Gymnast right?.
Rantaro: Yes.
Hiyoko: Then we can move onto talking with her about herself and it shouldn't be as difficult as it was with Gundham.
Rantaro: I hope so.
Akane: Don't worry Rant. I'll keep her under check if needed.
Rantaro: Thank you, now if you may talk to us about yourself.
Akane: There's not that much about me to be said other than i grew up on the streets on a crappy place full of crappy people.
Rantaro: That's surprising, i didn't expect an ultimate to come from a harsh enviroment.
Hiyoko (to herself): If you knew about my past.
Rantaro: Were you saying something Hiyoko?.
Hiyoko: Nope, nothing at all. You can continue talking to her…actually i am a bit curious about it, how is it that despite your upbringing you got in?
Hiyoko (thinking): Good move, that way they won't suspect you come from a harsh background like Owari and you can still be the pride of your family.
Akane: I guess it could have been the old man who got me into gymnastics talking to them.
Rantaro: You mean your dad or…?.
Akane: Oh no, i mean an unknown old guy who kept pestering me after seeing how skilled i am to enter the sport and eventually i gave in and here i am, an Ultimate Gymnast.
Hiyoko: Fitting an person who'd you meet across the street would help you get here.
Akane: Listen now gremlin.
*Akane gets nearby Hiyoko and grabs her by the front neck of her kimono*
Hiyoko (panicking): Rantaro, a bit of help over here!.
Rantaro: Last time, i let you off kind of scot-free with just an ear pulling, now i will let you see the consequence of your actions. *crosses his arms* Just don't hurt her Akane, okay?.
Akane: Understood Rant!. Where were we?. Oh yeah!, listen kiddo, i won't punch you since what would i gain of doing so?. Plus, i have a gut feeling that doing so would most probably knock you out and i don't want that. However--
*Here Akane yanks Hiyoko closer to her face*
Akane: I consider that old man as someone close to me because of giving me the opportunity to feed my siblings and trust me when i say this, if i hear you bad mouth them one more time, god help you because i will beat your ass down whether you are a challenge or not. And trust me i don't fight those who aren't strong, however, i wouldn't count a beatdown as one. Are we through?.
Hiyoko: *nods frantically in fear of what Akane could do to her*
Akane: Good. Hey, at least i learned something from him…what a shame he ain't here.
*Akane lets go of Hiyoko who falls down on her butt and here we see, as Rantaro just smirks, how Akane has a sad look on her face before regaining her grin.*
Rantaro: Thank you for putting Hiyoko on her place.
Akane: Don't worry Rant. That's what friends are for, right?
*Akane offers Rantaro a fist bump and he accepts it*
Rantaro: Indeed that's what friends are for. You mind coming along?.
Hiyoko: *gets back up* Oh no, oh nonono!. You are NOT doing this.
Rantaro: Yes I AM, Hiyoko. Akane seems to be the perfect block to make you not be an annoyance to people with your sharp words and honestly, it's time to get you off your high-horse you seem to look at people from.
Hiyoko: But--
Rantaro: No buts!. You have been a bad person and you WILL learn to act like a nice person whether the easy way with me or through intimidation with Akane.
*Rantaro gets face-to-face with Hiyoko*
Rantaro: Understood?.
Hiyoko (thinking): GODDAMIT!
Hiyoko: Yeah, understood.
*Rantaro gets out of the face-to-face position*
Rantaro: Cool!.
Akane: Um, Rant?.
Rantaro: Yes Akane?.
Akane: I AM your friend right?. You are not just using me right?.
Rantaro: Why do you say so?.
Akane: Because you are giving those vibes man and i don't like them one bit.
*Now Akane gets face to face with Rantaro*
Akane: And trust me pal, even if you are trying to do good, if i ever get the gut feeling of you using me, i won't have a problem beating you down too. Are we through?.
Rantaro (totally chill): Yes we are.
*Akane regains her grin*
Akane: Cool!. Now let's go introduce Hiyoko to more people.
Rantaro: Actually, i'd like to reintroduce me and Hiyoko to Gundham since she botched it a lot due to her being a bad person with her sharp tongue.
Akane: As expected of Hiyoko.
Hiyoko: Hey, i am still here you know?.
Akane: Anyways, let's go meet Gundham!.
