Hey guys, back with another chapter! Though I was kinda worried that this wouldn't get out at the usual time, still might not with how much work takes up my time, regardless of that, I was worried that nobody was reading this anymore since I didn't get a lot of votes. But I got some so it should be good enough. Our lucky audience picks are Xeno, Micheal, and Koyumi! Hope you guys learn more about these wonderful characters!

Chapter 2-2: Beat to the Sound of Friendship- Daily Life Freetime Events 1

Daisuke wandered out of the cafeteria, thinking about what he should be doing. He walked down the halls before he spotted Xeno running towards him.

"Hey, Dai-kun!" Xeno said as he stopped in front of the other boy.

'What's with everyone calling me that?' Daisuke thought to himself. "Hey Xeno. You on a run?"

"Yep! Since my Ultimate Lab opened up, I've been more motivated to run and keep going." Xeno smiled and bounced in place.

"I bet, you really fired up." Daisuke said.

"Yeah! You want to race me?" Xeno asked.

"Well, I don't know-" Daisuke started before he was cut off.

"Let's get started!" Xeno said before he suddenly started running, forcing Daisuke to run after him. After a while of running around the theatre, they ended up in Xeno's Lab, Daisuke panting behind the excitable boy.

"You really are fast." Daisuke panted out, trying to catch his breath.

"Thanks, I worked hard and kept pushing to be the fastest person my age." Xeno said.

"I bet, you certainly outran me. Did you always wanted to run?" Daisuke asked.

"Oh, not always. At first I wanted to be a swimmer like my big brother, but it turns out I'm not good at that." Xeno said sheepishly.

"Oh, I didn't expect that." Daisuke said.

Xeno shrugged. "Yeah, I'm more likely to drown if I spend too much time in the water."

"Good thing there isn't a pool here then." Daisuke said.

Xeno chuckled and nodded in agreement before going back to his running, going around his Lab like a bullet.

Daisuke decided not to distract him anymore and made his way out of the Lab, walking down the hall.

As he started reaching the end of the hall, he saw Michael stepping out of his own Lab, closing the door behind him.

"Hey Michael." Daisuke said, walking up to him.

"Oh, hey Daisuke. What're you doing here?" Michael asked.

"I got caught up in a run with Xeno and ended up in his Lab, so I was just leaving it." Daisuke said.

"I was wondering what all that noise was. But that's aces." Michael said, making Daisuke slightly confused at the wording, which Michael noticed. "You all have trouble knowing what I'm saying, huh?"

Daisuke was about to shake his head, but decided against it and shrugged while nodding. "Yeah, it's kinda confusing."

"I guess, I do use old American slang. You guys wouldn't have any idea about that, though Koyumi seems to get what I'm saying." Michael said.

Daisuke nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah, it's weird how she does."

"It's nice that she does understand me." Michael said, smiling a little.

Daisuke saw that and grinned, which Michael noticed. "What? It's not what you think." Michael said, but Daisuke just continued grinning. The birdwatcher blushed and huffed before he walked away.

Daisuke chuckled. "He so has a crush on her." He said as he continued walking.

He walked past the theater room when he heard a noise coming from inside. He stopped in his tracks and looked towards the door. He went up to the door and opened it, going into the theater and up to the stage, where Koyumi was.

"Koyumi? What're you doing here?" Daisuke asked as he climbed onto the stage.

"Oh, hello there Dai-kun. I was just trying to find a place that was nice and quiet. I was feeling quite homesick and the quietness reminds me of my dojo." Koyumi explained.

"There are dojos for Kyudo?" Daisuke asked.

Koyumi nodded. "Kyudojo is the proper term, yes. My father owns one."

"Oh yeah, you mentioned him during the last motive." Daisuke said.

"Yes. He taught me from a very early age and has driven me even further when he witnessed my talent." Koyumi said.

"He must've been very proud." Daisuke said, causing Koyumi to smile softly.

"He was. Would you like to relax here with me for a while?" Koyumi asked.

"Sure." Daisuke said before he sat down beside her. They stayed like that for a while, enjoying the peace and quiet, well, as much as they could get in their situation.

Later, when Daisuke returned to his room, the nightly announcement went off. He sighed as he got on his bed and laid down, staring at the ceiling for a bit. 'When will we escape this place?' Daisuke thought to himself before he drifted off to sleep.

And here's the end of this Freetime Event. I wanted to make this longer but yeah, motivation is a thing. I really want to continue this and I most likely will, but if I feel like this story isn't getting some attention, I lose motivation to do it. I think it has something to do with my social anxiety, which is kinda weird in this sense.

I might plan on a small hiatus for a month after the next chapter to clear up my anxiety and bring back some motivation to myself. I don't know, it's up to debate at the moment.

Anyways, the next chapter is my choice Freetime Events before the next motivation and murder. Until next time, Chaos out!
