The next day...
Chrono was waiting for a girl who had called him during lunchtime.
"Well, I'll do this quickly and without hesitation." says Chrono, who was waiting for someone.
"Shindou-san, I'm glad you came." a girl answers to Chrono.
"Yeah, I'm mean... I'm sorry!" he apologizes.
"I see ..." she replies, seeing that Chrono apologizes for something that was already evident.
"But ... I haven't said anything yet." Chrono says.
"I know, but obviously you don't like me, I ... I only have one question." she asks Chrono.
"What is it..." Chrono answers.
"Who is it? I need to know who is my rival." she asks him.
"Tokoha, I think ... it's always been her." Chrono answers him.
"Does that mean you love her?" the girl asks Chrono.
"Yes, despite some setbacks we had ... and the crazy adventures we had together, there was a time when I stopped seeing her as a simple teammate." the redhead replies.
"really?" she replies, since she had seen that something was behind the bushes.
"Yeah, I think it was when we started the G-Quest or maybe a little before ... The truth is ..." Chrono said to her classmate.
"I see ... and what setbacks were you talking about?" she asks him.
"Uhm ... is that she went to France and fell in love with another guy." Chrono answers him, remembering that it hurt a little.
"But she returned to Japan, didn't she?" she says to Chrono.
"You're right, heh," says Chrono, scratching his head.
"I think I feel annoyed now." the young girl answers to Chrono.
"And why is that?" Chrono asks her.
"Why is it like my mother said: If you really love someone, let him go, if he comes back, it's always because he was yours ... if he doesn't come back, it never was. And she did exactly that, that's why I'm upset ." she replies to the redhead.
"Wow ... uhm ... I don't know what to say." Chrono answers, listening to the girl's sermon.
"I'll just tell you one thing ... ANJOU-SAN! Don't think I'll give up so easily!" the girl yells at Tokoha.
"Wait ... are they here?" Chrono reacts ashamed.
"Yeah, I don't know for sure how much they would listen, but ... they have been behind the bushes for a long time ... By the way Shindou-san, my name is Emilly." she replies to him, who after giving a kiss to Chrono on the cheek, leaves.
"Wow ... it looks like we have competition now." Kazuma tells Tokoha.
"Can you tell what they're doing here?" Chrono asks the others.
"Well ... here it's hot." Kazuma answers, who comes out of the bushes with the Girls.
"How much did you hear?" Chrono asks them.
"I don't know how much they hear, but I listen everything. Do you want me to tell them?" Kazuma answers.
"Don't even think about it ... By the way... Tokoha, I'll go to the first store, for a few things... Do you think you can take care of things with Emi-san?" said Chrono, who was then addressing a Tokoha who didn't show much on her face, as she was completely flushed.
"Okay." she answers in a low voice.
While with Chrono ...
"Oh, you came." said a voice waiting for Chrono outside the store.
"Do you know anything about the Reverse or the Diffriders?" Chrono asked Kamui, who was waiting for him.
"Nothing, but don't worry, my brother will call us soon with some information." the young man answers to Chrono.
"well then I leave." Chorno answers.
"Hey ... Naoki told me what happened. Are you okay?" Kamui asks him.
"Yeah, the wound healed fast, so I'm fine." Chrono answers his friend, after speaking with Kamui, Chrono takes the boxes and goes to store two.
Already in store two ...
"I'm sorry Emi-san, I was a late." Tokoha apologizes.
"Don't worry, after all Shindou-kun hasn't arrived yet." Emi tells him.
"I see, that's very bad, I wanted to talk to him." says a voice that approaches the store.
"I'm here!" says Chrono, who enters the store and gets a surprise.
"Oh, you're here!" Shion tells him, who brought good news.
"Yeah... Btw what brings you here?" Chrono asks his friend.
"I want to know if your going to enter in the next competition?" the young blonde replies.
"I'm a little busy you know." Chrono says to the blonde.
"Shion, Chrono was attacked by a Reverse, and I think that this situation has him very upset." Tokoha answers him.
"Uhm ... I see, by the way I heard from Kumi that you were staying in the apartment, is that true?" Shion asks Tokoha.
"Yes, Chrono helped me a bit to install myself." Tokoha tells Shion, who didn't take long to notice that Tokoha had blushed a little.
"Well, take the right decision and if you enter the new tournament ... I hope and we can face each other again." Shion answers both of them and leaves the store.
Later...
"Wooow!" Emi reacts surprised.
"What's wrong, Emi-san?" Tokoha asks.
"See this well, apparently if you sign up and win this tournament, the next stage would be worldwide, that means ... What can you face again with my brother Shindou-kun?" Emi tells Chrono and Tokoha.
To be continue...
