"You were worried like this when you first told your feelings, weren't you Joel?"
Joel nods." The same worries just somehow came back again homie".
Jim in his mascot form taps his friend's shoulder with his small hand. "It's unlike you to worry this much. I'm sure Saki doesn't mind."
"But..."
"I said this back then, too, but you just need to tell her how you feel".
Jim tells him. "Everything will be okay".
"I guess you're right Jim". Thanks homie".
"Anytime, Let's go to where everyone is. Jim says turned into his human form,
the two friends got up and headed to where their friends are.

"Joel-sama! Jim-sama!" Kurumi Milk's human form greets her two friends.
The two offer a smile as respond. Joel takes a seat next to Saki, while Jim sits
on the seat next to him.
"Hikari isn't here yet?"Jim asks, looking around.
"Aoi and Choppy too?"Joel adds.
"She may still be at the stage," Mai says, looking at her watch. "But it's almost time".
"Who knows, they might've already been on their way here", says Nagisa, taking a piece of pancakes into her mouth.
"Saki", Joel calls in a low voice.
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry about earlier" Joel said with a smile.
Saki shakes her head, smiling. "Mmm-mm, it's okay".
Joel then notices some cream on Saki's cheek and wipes them off with his finger.
This action surprised Saki. But the athlete girl said nothing, she just looks down, blushing.
"What's funny ?" Saki demands, her face still red.
Joel pokes her cheek with his right hand.
"You got two cute strawberries there", he teases her. "Oh are they tomatoes?"
"Jeez!" Saki looks away. But shortly she can't help but giggle.
"Look like they made up," Mai says in a low
voice to Nagisa who simply smiles.
"Hi, guys!" Aoi says cheerfully as she entered the room. Following behind her is Hikari and Choppy. "Sorry I'm late!"
"Hurry, Aoi" Mai tells her, giggling. "Or Saki
will eat everything!"
"Mai-chan!" Saki calls her out in an angry tone, but she starts giggling as she adds more slices of cake to her plate.
"What's up cousin". Joel greeted Hikari.
"Hi Joel". Hikari said as she gave him a hug.
"I won't lose!" Aoi joins in.
"Jeez, they're such a glutton". Nagisa said, smiling at her friend's' actions.
"Saki You've been eating since forever! Save it for everyone else!" Ayumi reminds her.
"Hey, Saki I was going to take that pancake!" Hikari yells, joining the commotion.
Saki giggles. "Well, I got it first!"
"By the Aoi-san?" Ayumi calls her.
"What is it, Ayumi-san?' the blue haired girl
answers. She puts yet another slice of cake on her plate.
"Are you performing again tomorrow?"
"Yeah! Everyone asked for an encore earlier, but it's gotten pretty late so I said
I'd sing again tomorrow!"
Suddenly Joel looks like he realized something. He tilts his head closer to Jim's ear and whisper something to his fairy partner / best friend.
"Everyone!" Jim says after Joel finished talking to him. "Will you all stay here for the night? it's gotten late too".
"Eh? Is it okay?" Ayumi asks.
"What's wrong, Joel?" Saki adds.
"If You don't want to, I got my knife and guns if you want we can roll out for home?" he said looking to her.
Saki blushes."W-well, actually, I don't mind". Then she stands up, raising one arm. "We will be staying at the Fountain's
Kingdom for tonight! it's decided!"
"Is Saki asleep?" Joel asks in a low voice.
"So soundly she wouldn't notice that all of us are gone," Nagisa assures him. "At least for a while".
"What's wrong, Joel?" Mai asks her friend.
"Your planning something, Joel-sama?" Kurumi adds.
He nodded. "And for this to go right, I'm gonna need help from my homies".
Hikari looked at her cousin with a smile.
"How can we help cousin?"
