The next day...
"Where are you going Tokoha?" his father asks her.
"Me? Well, I'll go with Kumi to Card Capital." Tokoha said something nervous.
"Are you sure? ... I thought you told your brother you would go to see Chrono-kun." his mother answers.
"Mom!" she yells.
"Who is Chrono?" asks his father.
"He's a good guy, he offered Tokoha where to stay while we argued with her, he was also the one who saved her from collapsing in the stadium and ... it seems they are something else." said his mother, who wanted to play a joke on his daughter.
"But look at the time, Kumi should already be waiting for me ... ha ha" says Tokoha who laughs very nervous.
Meanwhile with Chrono...
"And what are you doing here guys?, I say is not that I don't like your visit, but ..." Chrono asks Kazuma and Shion.
"Actually we'll just wait for Tokoha to arrive, once that happens we'll go escort Am and Luna." said Shion.
"And can I know why I am the only one who will be locked up while you have a date with your girlfriends?" complained the redhead.
"I don't know what you're complaining about, your girlfriend will come to see you and be your personal nurse." Kazuma replied, laughing at Chrono.
"Oh shut up." Chrono answers him.
"Didn't I know you guys were here?" said Tokoha who entered the apartment and met Shion and Kazuma.
"Don't worry, we were already leaving, by the way ... Mikuru went to work and she said that she would come back later." Shion says to him, who makes a mocking laugh.
minutes later...
"Don't you think it's too much?" Chrono asks Tokoha.
"No, you must also have good nutrition if you want to recover soon." Tokoha answers him.
"But I'm fine ..." Chrono told him, who had a bandaged arm.
"As you say so, now leave this to me, ok?" Tokoha answers him, who puts on an apron.
"She looks beautiful" says Chrono in a low voice.
"Did you say something?" Tokoha replies to him who reached to hear what Chrono had said, but ... she wanted to hear it again.
"No, I didn't say anything ..." he said with embarrassed.
Meanwhile...
"I'm bored I want to kill them now!" said Saori, who was impatient.
"You should have a little more patience, besides, it wasn't easy to take care of all those fighters." Steve replies.
"I don't want to hear that about a fucking clone!" Saori yells at him.
"But that Clone is right, we take care of the majority of fighters and Shindou is still alive ... so once we recover our forces we will attack again." said Chaos Breaker.
Back With Chrono ...
"The food is ready, Chrono!" Tokoha said with joy.
"I still think it's a lot of food." Chrono answers him.
"Don't worry, if Mikuru arrives, she can also eat something too." Tokoha tells him, while she and Chrono start eating.
"Well, I'll take you to the station." said Chrono, who stands up from his seat after having finished eating.
"I'll stay until Mikuru returns, otherwise you'll do something stupid and your arm isn't yet in a position to fight." Tokoha told him, worried about him.
"Well, but if Mikuru doesn't arrive, what will you do? Will you stay here all night?" asks Chrono.
"Is that a challenge? Because then I accept." she replies to him, who then adds ... "Besides, it's not the first time we've stayed together." After that she just smiles and kisses Chrono's cheek.
Meanwhile in the association office...
"Yeah, I understand ..." says Ibuki, who was on the phone.
"Something happens?" Mamoru asks.
"Yes, I got a call from Oliver, it seems that half of the fighters who stayed to fight Chaos Breaker have fell, the other half managed to survive ... on the other hand ... Chaos Breaker and his accomplices fled" Ibuki replies somewhat worried .
"Will you tell the guys?" Mamoru asks.
"Let them rest for now." Ibuki answers Mamoru.
Back with Chrono ...
"I'm sorry for arrived to late." said Mikuru, who had just come home from work.
"Don't worry Mikuru-san, there's still some food left over." says Tokoha, who was washing the dishes.
"Well, Mikuru is here, so ... I'll take you to the station." the redhead replies.
"Huh? But I wanted to talk to Tokoha-chan before she left." said Mikuru, who was serving a bit of the food prepared by Tokoha.
"You can leave it for later, you know?" Chrono responds, but both ignore him and start talk until it gets dark.
"Well, it's time to go" says Tokoha before leaving.
"It's already late, I know ... Why don't you stay here just for today?" Mikuru says.
"I don't want to cause inconvenience." Tokoha replies.
"That wasn't what you said a few minutes ago." Chrono said trying to play a joke.
"Could you shut up!" Tokoha answers, who blushes a little.
"Well, it's decided ... you stay here today." said Mikuru.
"But ..." Tokoha replies, but Mikuru doesn't let her finish.
"Well, I'm going to sleep in. If you need anything, let me know." Chrono answers, who is again ignored.
"Why don't you notify your house first, while I'll get something for you to sleep in." Mikuru said to him, who hands him the phone.
"It's okay, I think I don't have another choice." Tokoha answers, who picks up the phone. While they were busy, Chrono was dedicated to improving his deck and opted to send a message to Shion.
The next day...
"Well, what did you want to talk about?" Shion asks Chrono.
"Well ... it's complicated what I'm going to say ... but" said Chrono who opened the door to make sure no one will hear him.
"Don't worry, Anjou and the girls are in the room, I doubt they will listen to us." Kazuma answers.
"Well, let's go to the point." Shion tells them, while Chrono talked to them about something important.
"Why do the boys take so long?" Tokoha said serving tea cups.
"Surely they are talking about the latest events, I mean this has become very strange." Luna answers.
"And by the way Tokoha?, since when did you become Mrs. Shindou?" says Am, who jokes a little with her and makes Tokoha blush.
"I ... I'm just preventing that idiot from getting hurt!" she shouts with a litte blush in her face.
"What the hell was that?" Chrono asks, who leaves the room.
"It's nothing, go back to your business." Tokoha answers him.
"O... okay..." Chorno answers, who closes the door again.
"Don't ever do that again Am." Tokoha says annoyingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about Tokoha." she says.
While with the boys ...
"Well, going back to the subject ..." Shion said, rearranging himself in a chair.
"Do you think there are more hidden allies from Chaos Breaker?" Chrono asks them.
"and Shindou changes the subject again." says Kazuma laughing at the redhead.
"And when will you do it?" Shion asks him to return the redhead to the main topic of their conversation.
"I don't know ... I was thinking of telling her right now." Chrono answers, who makes both boys stay frozen.
"Are you being serious? Both of you still very young." the blonde asks him.
"We have 16, and you were the one who told me not to waste my time!" the redhead shouts at him.
"Is something happening in there?" Tokoha asks.
"No, it's nothing, but since you mention it ... Shindou should let you know what we're talking about." Kazuma tells him, who goes out with Luna and the others from Chrono's house.
"That was strange, but hey ... what do you have to tell me Chrono?" Tokoha asks, while Chrono gets nervous.
