-Zeo's POV-

After Everything With Ayane. It Made Me Feel Better, That She Really Cared For Me That Much, And Even After All That, She Still Let Me Sleep In Her Home. I Got To Meet Her Sister Formally This Time, Machi. The Three Of Us Had Dinner As I Learned That Both Ayane And Machi Were Shrine Maidens. Cool. I Still Wondered How Toby And Masamune Were Handling Things. I'm Convinced At Least One Of Them Thinks I'm Dead.

Might As Well Be Though, Since It's Impossible To Leave The Island. Besides...

I Have No Reason To Try Now, I Found My Place Here, In Airantou.

I Was Happy.

I Woke Up Pretty Early In The Morning And Was Doing Some Exercises When Ayane Started Watching.

"Keeping Your Figure Intact?" She Asked As I Nodded.

"Yep, Always Gotta Stick To Training Ya Know." I Remind Her, I Visibly See A Light Blush On Her Face.

"Have You Always Trained? Is That Why Your Body Is So..." Ayane Squeals As I Sigh. Fangirl Much?

"Yea, I Train For Everything, At Anytime. My Skills Are Unmatched!" I Proudly Declare.

"Ayane... Zeo..." Machi Suddenly Appeared. After Decent Evaluation. I Found Out Machi's Not Creepy... Sometimes.

"Morning Machi." I Wave.

"I Got A Note Telling Us To Go To Suzu's House." She Explains. "We Need To Bring Zeo."

"Why?" Both Of Us Ask.

"It Doesn't Say Why..." She Stares At Us, I Shrug. Maybe Its A Welcoming Surprise.

Lemme Grab Fox... Ya Know... Extra Bey Training." I Say Preparing The Launcher.

As The Three Of Us Make It Down To Suzu's, I See Suzu And Obaba Talking Amongst Each Other. I Also Saw Rin And Pretty Much Every Single Girl From The Island Practically Ever There Too. OK, I'm Getting Suspicious.

"What's Up?" I Salute As The Girls Eye Me With Horny Looks Save For Rin Who Just Blushed.

"Dana... Good Morning." She Bowed.

"Morning To You Too... Anyway's Why Are We Here?" I Ask The Granny As She Smirked.

"Well To Put It Simply. A Few Weeks Ago. Ikuto, Left The Island By His Own Decision." Obaba Said.

"Alright. Your Point Being?" I Ask.

"These Girls Have Been Begging For Their Hormones To Be Put Out On The Spotlight After He Left. And Now, God Has Blessed Us With You." Obaba Smiled As I Raise An Eyebrow.

"And With That We Will Host The 2nd Annual Hide-And-Seek-And-Catch-The-Groom Tournament To Decide Who Gets To Marry You! You Wonderful Boy!" She Announced As My Jaw Dropped.

Hol Up! DAFUQ!?

Hide-And-Seek-And What!?

"Excuse Me... I Didn't Hear You Right... You Said WHAT!?" I Shout Exasperated.

"Well, A Mature Man Such As Yourself Needs A Lovely Wife Do You Not?" Obaba Blushed While Smirking At Me.

And JUST When I Thought ALL My Problems Were GONE! That I Could Finally BREATHE!

"OK, First Of All: NO! I'm Only 17! Coach Steel Would Hang Me On The Cross If I Got Married!" I Shout.

"It's Normal For Boys To Marry At Age 13-15." Obaba Shrugged. My Eyes Bulged.

"No... Wtf That's So Wrong... That's SO Off The Mark!" I Gaped.

"I Don't Want These Girls To Continue Chasing You, They Need Your Seed Inside Them So They Can All Grow To Become Beautiful Women. You Could Just Marry All Of Them Since You Look Like A Hardworking Person." Obaba Said As I Had A Horrible Thought.

Me Being A Groom To Over 1000 Girls. If I Somehow Got Off The Island With Them. I Could Never Show My Face To Dungeon Gym. Coach And Toby Would Both Beat My Ass.

"That's ALSO Illegal... EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD! I'm Not Doing That." I Said With A Deadpan Look. "And Second Off: You Can't FORCE Me To Decide Something Like This Its My Choice Anyways!" I Shouted.

"My My... Your Just Like Ikuto... Always Refusing Our Requests." Obaba Sighed.

"Well He's Smart For Refusing." I Groan.

"I See... So Would You Like To Have The Girls Keep Chasing You For The Rest Of Your Life, Or You Can Decide Everything Now, And Have Them Not Be All Over You... Most Of The Time." Obaba Offered As I Flinched.

She Had A Point, I'll Admit. But Then Again, I Don't Wanna Marry! But... I Don't Have Anyone At Home, There Was Jessica, My Ex. But I Fucking Hate Her Guts. I'd Take Anyone On The Island Over Her. So... Despite My Better Judgement Once Again, I Caved In.

"OK Fine... Listen, I'll Do It, But Listen! I Turn 18 In A Year... And That's When I'm Allowed To Marry. I'm NOT Doing Any Sexual Shit Until Then! Once I Do... Then I MIGHT Consider." I Sigh As Everyone Cheered.

"That's Good Enough For Me." Obaba Said

"God Help Me." I Cry.

I Then Walked Away From The House As I Took A Breath.

I Heard Obaba Shout Out The Rules As I Prepared For A Challenge. The Rules Were Simple. I Have To Run, Run Like The Motherfucking Wind And Not Get Caught By Any Of The Girls. I Had Till Sundown. That's Literally All Day! FUCK!

"OK... I've Beaten Toby, Masamune, And King In Races Before. This Shouldn't Be Hard. Not At All." I Breathe.

Yea No... Thats What I WISH I Was Thinking.

"NOW START!" Obaba Shouts As I Ran For The Hills. Faster Than I Ever Have Before. Like Yesterday, I Wasn't Running For Training, I Was Running For Survival.

"Don't Look Back Zeo, Don't Look Back!" I Tell Myself As I Continued Running And Jumping From Tree Branch To Tree Branch Unfortunately.

I Turn To Find The Horde Had Already Caught Up To Me In Seconds.

"FUCK!" I Shout While Heading A Riskier Path To Avoid The Girls.

"Must I Stress!? Why Me!?" I Cry To Myself While Hopping Across The Forest.

I Heard A Noise Come From The Side Of A Tree. I Stop And Pull Out My Launcher.

"Who's There!?" I Shout To Get Ready For Battle.

"Don't Worry Zeo-San." A Voice Chimes As I Turn To Where The Voice Was. "I Want To Just Take You Away."

"Your Not Fooling Me." I Say.

"Oh? Then... Can You Grab That Piece Of Fruit On The Floor For Me?" The Voice Said As I Turned To An Apple.

"Sure Lemme Just-" I Stare At A Rope On A Tree. Knowing It Was A Trap I Launched Fox To Cut The Rope.

"Bro... Cmon." I Deadpanned.

Maybe This'll Be Easy...
