Myriad Colors Orphnoch World
Chapter 4: The Rabbit Family
The CEO of Smart Brain is seen in his office, going through reports some of the staff gave him to review. Soon his phone begins to ring, and he soon answered it.
"What is it?" The CEO asked.
"Hello, sir, I'm calling to report, that I have a lead on, Professor Hikaru Midorikawa."
This gotten the CEO's attention, when he heard that, before he made a smirk.
"Did you, now?" He said sounding a little pleased upon hearing that.
"Yes, based on what I heard his heading from Hyogo to Shibuya, the city where Faiz is based at. Isn't it?"
"Yes indeed it is. It appears that my old friend must have heard rumors of Faiz appearing, in that area. And want to confirm if those rumors are true." The CEO concluded, not too long ago, there were been web blogs of Faiz appearing around Shibuya, fighting against other Orphnoch and Phantom alike.
"Also there's more that you may want to know. On what I heard, it would appear that the professor is traveling with about 10 human, some in their earlier 20s, others about in their teens, others, between; seven to ten."
"Is that so? Well this is an interesting discovery. But no matter, continue following Midorikawa's trail, and when find him, eliminate him along with others that is with him, and bring back the property he stolen." The CEO told him.
"As you wish sir." The man told him before he hangs up.
The CEO leans on his arms and on his desk, while smiling.
"I wonder what your next move is going to be, old friend." He thought out loud.

({The} end Justi-φ's the means!) Then the song end, with the title logo.
Kazuto and his team, were now standing outside of an all you can eat barbecue beef, restaurant. Reina had an excited smile on her face, holding a coupon for the restaurant in her hand.
They finished a job earlier, and the payment was the coupon Reina was holding, and so they decided to go there for dinner.
They were sited, in the restaurant, and soon, they watch as Reina had eaten about over 35 plates of freshly cooked beef and still continues eating, as her friends stare at amazement of how much she is eating, while the chief was being drain of energy, as she was eating.
Soon she was now done, after the big meal, and sighed in happiness, with a happy stomach of food.
"This is bliss…" Reina mutters.
"R-Really?" Mai said.
"You sure do eat a lot. Where's does it all go?" Ruru asked.
Reina blinked, before she looks down to her stomach, while rubbing on it.
"Who knows? I'm not really sure myself." Reina said.
"Hmmm…Your power does allow you to seal away Phantoms by devouring them, so maybe that's the reason?" Kazuto wonder.
Reina then notices the chief, walking to them, while trying to avoid eye contact, from the bottomless mouth.
"Excuse me." Reina got his attention, while made him jump, before he straightens himself.
"Hai?!"
"I'd like two servings of these extra-thick short ribs and this horumon meat with sauce." Reina requested, surprising her friends, as she could eat more.
After a while longer in the restaurant, they were now done, and are now outside, with Reina looking a little embarrassed.
"I am sorry. I got carried away by myself…" Reina told them.
"Why are you sorry? You earned those tickets." Haruhiko assured her.
"That's right. It's all you can eat, so there's nothing wrong of eating as much as you want." Kazuto told her.
"Exactly. You've gotta eat up. I'll catch up to you next time!" Mai told her.
"Then…You'll come with me again?" Reina asked.
"Of course." Mai nodded.
"Yeah, let's come again." Haruhiko said.
"I don't mind either, as long as the food is good." Kazuto said, before Ruru fly near to his ear.
"You mean if the food is cold enough for you. You nekojita you." Ruru whispered with a little teasing in her tone, which made Kazuto flinch.
"Why you?!" Kazuto quietly exclaimed, as he tries to swat Ruru away, before the little Phantom got away from him.
Reina smiled happily. "Thank you."
They soon leave the restaurant, and soon went separate ways, to their respective homes.
Reina was now at the bus stop, waiting on a bus that usually takes her home. As she is waiting, Reina was in deep thought.
'These days, I smile more often now. But now that school is fun, going home has become a bit sad.' Reina thought as she taps her foot with her other foot, while looking a little sad.
Reina then heard a motorcycle driving down the street, before it passes by her, which made her fully look and call out.
"Onee-sama!" Reina called out to the rider, thinking it was her sister, but soon saw that it was a man.
Reina then looks down on the ground.
'The knowledgeable Haruhiko-kun told me…This hour is called 'omagatoki'. At this time of day, you are to likely encounter a Phantom. I have a special ability, for which I am called a 'Phantom Eater.' Every now and then, I've been sealing Phantoms when they cause trouble. But my parents don't take kindly to it.' Reina thought, while imagining, herself standing in front of the shadowy forms of her parents.
Kiba with a bag full of groceries was walking down to the street she was at on the other, and soon saw her.
'Wait isn't she, one of Inui's friends?' Kiba thought, before he saw her sadden face, and wonders what is up.
Then suddenly they both look and saw a bus, by Reina, before she looks at it.
"What a strange looking bus…" Reina said, before the bus's door opens for her, and then she soon got inside.
Then Koito exits a building, before she notices and saw the bus driving down the street.
Reina is seen walking down in a dark space, as images of her appears behind her as she is walking, and the light in her eyes are dull void of light, like she is hypnotic spell, as she kept walking, on what seems like a forever.
Then she soon snaps out of it, and found herself in front of her house's gate, and saw that it was night.
"Huh? When did I get home?" Reina wonders out loud, before she felt a strange feeling in her heart. "What is this feeling?"
A camera by the gate, lowered its sight on her, and the gates soon open for her, and she soon walks through the opened gate, before it closed behind her.
"Otou-sama, Okaa-sama, I'm home." Reina said.
"You're home late again." Her mother told her.
"You'd better not have been getting involved with Phantoms." Her father said.
"No." Reina said.
(Next day)
Kazuto and his team were now in their school's Phantom hunting club room, while Reina had told them what she experience yesterday.
"Maybe you were bewitched by a Phantom." Ruru stated, while sited on top of Reina's head
"Bewitched?" Reina asked.
"Yeah." Ruru said, before she stands up. "For example, you talk to someone who was lost on the street."
Ruru then changes into an old Japanese shirt, wears a bald cap on her head, while acting she was an aching back.
"Oh my back…You there, traveler…Take me home, and I will reward you!" Ruru said, before she changes back to her regular outfit. "Like, you know how some of them spirit you away to other worlds that way?"
"You mean like a tengu-kakushi or kami-kakushi?" Haruhiko asked.
"Yeah, and the Phantom, must have put you in a hypnotic suggestion as well, because you said you don't remember anything else, after you got on that bus, right?" Kazuto said.
"Yeah…Also my heard suddenly felt really warm back then…I felt really happy, like when I am with Onee-sama." Reina stated.
"You mean with Mai?" Kazuto and Haruhiko asked.
"M-Me?" Mai asked, with a little blushed on her face.
"Oh no," Reina said with an embarrassed face, while waving her arms. "I mean, I…No, that is correct, but what I mean is…"
"That bus yesterday was a Phantom." They look and saw Koito by the door.
"Minase-san!" Reina said.
"Yes I agree." They look behind and saw Kiba, by another door in the back of the room, and soon walk to them.
"You're that Kiba guy, right?" Kazuto asked.
"Yes, and you're Kazuto Inui, if I remember correctly." Kiba said.
"Yeah, that's right." Kazuto nodded.
Kiba then offered his hand to Kazuto, which he soon took, and they shake each other's hand.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance." Kiba said.
"Yeah you too." Kazuto said.
"But anyway," Kiba then looks at Reina. "Izumi-san, right?" Reina nodded. "Well, like Minase said, I think that bus was a Phantom as well. And I think it had possessed you."
(Later)
Kazuto, and his team, accompany by, Kiba and Koito, leaves school, and heads to the same bus stop, where Reina encounter the bus Phantom.
"I'm sorry to make you do all this…" Reina told them.
"Come on, Reina-chan, don't hold back." Ruru told her.
"She's right. We're a team, so helping one another is natural. A team is like a family. We have to be there for one another." Mai assured her, which made Reina slightly happy to hear that, before she looks down to the ground.
"This should be around this time yesterday, too." Kiba said, while looking at the time on his wrist watch.
"Yeah it should be. I could tell right away, that bus was a Phantom." Koito stated.
"And so you just stood there and watched?!" Mai exclaimed.
"Hey don't be mad at her, I was here too, and I didn't have enough time to act either." Kiba told her.
"That girl also has special abilities, doesn't she? I didn't think she needed me to meddle." Koito stated.
"That isn't the point-!" Mai said, before Reina fallen on her arm. "Reina?"
Then suddenly a bright appears which made them cover their eyes, and when it died down, they soon saw the bus Phantom in front of them, and it soon opens its door.
They soon saw Reina going in the bus.
"Wait, Reina!" Mai tried to reach out.
Kazuto and Haruhiko quickly reacted, and got inside the bus Phantom through a different door.
"Reina!" Kazuto and Haruhiko called out, before the doors closed on them.
"Kazuto…Haruhiko!" Mai was about to act too, but the bus Phantom give off a blindly light, as the bus Phantom disappears. "Kazuto! Haruhiko! Reina!"
"That isn't good…" Kiba mutters while rubbing his head.
Mai can't help but feel worried for her teammates.
"There's no need to worry. I'm pretty sure they'll be back." Koito told them.
"Yeah that is a good point; I mean, the Phantom would have just kept Izumi in whatever it takes her, but it just let her go back home, later." Kiba said.
"But if this keeps up, she might be in danger." Koito stated.
"In danger?" Mai asked.
"She might not be able to return." Koito stated.
Unknown to them is that a woman, wearing a motorcycle suit, with a helmet, and is on a motorcycle had been watching them.
Kazuto and Haruhiko had checked on Reina who was sited, on a chair, and in is some sort of hypnotic state.
"Reine! Come on snap out of it!" Kazuto said to her, as he snaps his fingers in front of her eyes, and lightly tabs on her cheek. "No good…"
"Reina-chan…" Haruhiko said, before he and Kazuto looks around inside the bus Phantom. "What's up with this bus, anyway?
"Yeah, that is a good question. There's no one else in here, and there's not even a driver." Kazuto said, before he notices something on the other side of the windows. "Hey, Haruhiko look."
Kazuto pointed, and Haruhiko looks, and saw that there were now not in a city, but what looks like a villa with a few houses.
"Something is definitely not right here." Kazuto said.
"Yeah…" Haruhiko agrees.
Then not too long, the bus soon stops, and Reina soon got off, followed by Kazuto and Haruhiko, before the bus leaves. They were now standing in front of a house.
Kazuto and Haruhiko look around the area, and soon found a small vegetable garden with a sign that said 'Bunny Garden'.
They soon heard the door opens, and saw, that Reina entered the house.
"Otou-san, Okaa-san, I'm home!" Reina said as she closes the door behind her.
"Oh, Reina, welcome home." A woman's voice was heard inside, greeting Reina.
"Dinner's ready, and it's yummy." A man's voice was also heard inside.
"Okay~!" Reina said sounding excited.
Kazuto and Haruhiko soon looks inside, and soon saw that it wasn't a man and woman, but two mini human size cartoon like rabbits with clothes, the male one wearing glasses and have a large mustache, and wears a farmer like outfit and was eating a carrot, and the female one has curls on the edge of her head, and wears a dress with an apron.
Reina was sited, on the table with the two rabbits, wearing a dress, and what was stranger is that she has rabbit ears on top of her head.
"So? Are you getting used to school?" Mother Rabbit asked.
"Yeah!" Reina nodded. "It's super fun!"
"This is your first time in a club, right?" Father Rabbit asked. "I hope you're not having a hard time."
"No…" Reina shook her head. "Everyone's so kind and funny, so not at all! The other day, we even did martial arts training."
"Martial arts you say? That's a hoot!" Father Rabbit said.
"Yeah! Like this…And like this!" Reina said, as she was about to show off her skills.
"Come now, Reina, you mustn't do that at the table." Mother Rabbit told her.
"Oh, sorry." Reina said before she lightly punches on her head.
The two rabbits laugh.
"The hell is this?" Haruhiko wonders.
"Your guess is as good as mine…" Kazuto stated.
Kazuto and Haruhiko run up and open the window door to the kitchen table.
"Reina-chan, get a grip! Those two are Phantoms!" Haruhiko exclaimed.
"Yeah, don't be fool they must be having you under a spell!" Kazuto stated.
Reina and the two rabbit Phantoms, stare at the two boys.
"Kazuto-Oniichan! Haruhiko-Oniichan!" Reina called them.
"Kazuto! Haruhiko!" The two rabbits Phantoms said, before they jumps off their chairs, to greet them, and hug on their legs.
"Eh?" Kazuto and Haruhiko said sounding a little confuse.
"My boys!" Father Rabbit said.
"You two are late!" Mother Rabbit said.
"Where have you two been all this time?" Father Rabbit asked.
"Now, come here have a seat you two!" Mother Rabbit told them.
Having no choice they decided to take a chair by the table. It was now night time, with Reina telling the two rabbit Phantoms what had happened in school.
"And there's so much on the menu at school!" Reina told the two Phantoms.
"I wish I could try some, myself." Father Rabbit said, before he pass a bowl of salad.
As they were talking, Kazuto and Haruhiko look down on their food.
'Why on earth am I doing this?' Kazuto wonders inside his mind.
"Kazuto, Haruhiko! Here's your rice!" Mother Rabbit got their attention as she handed them bowls of rice for them.
"Oh thank you." Kazuto and Haruhiko said, as they accepted it.
Kazuto picks up a small pile of rice with his chopsticks, and blows on them a few times to cool it down, before he and Haruhiko bring them into their mouths, then soon rabbit ears pop out of their heads.
Kazuto is seen helping Mother Rabbit out with the dishes.
"Oh Kazuto, you didn't have to help me." She told him.
"Don't worry, Kaa-san. It's the least I could do, for making a good meal." Kazuto told her. "But I have a small request, do you think you can do my favorite, cold yakisoba for dinner tomorrow."
"Oh of course, my sweet little boy." Mother Rabbit nodded.
Kazuto smiles bigly before he hugs his mother.
"Thank you, Kaa-san!" Kazuto
It was now morning, Kazuto, Haruhiko, and Reina exits the house, and heads to the bus, with the rabbit Phantoms seeing them off.
"We're off!" They told the two Phantoms.
"Have a nice day!" Mother Rabbit wave them goodbye.
"Come straight home today, you hear?" Father Rabbit told them.
"Okay!" Reina told them, as they entered the bus, which had soon leaves.
As the bus is moving, Kazuto, Haruhiko, and Reina, no longer have the rabbit ears on their heads. Reina was unconscious, while Kazuto and Haruhiko, was in some sort of daze, until they snap out of it.
"What the? When did we get back here?" Kazuto wonders.
"Yeah…What's going on?" Haruhiko wonders as well, before he turns to Reina who was beside him. "Reina-chan?"
Haruhiko shook on her shoulders to try to wake her up.
While Kazuto had his hand on his chest where his heart, and can't help but feel this strange warmth in it, warmth he hadn't felt in a long time.
(Later, night time)
Kazuto and Haruhiko, carried Reina with her arms on their shoulders, and bring to her house, before she started to wake up.
"Kazuto-kun! Haruhiko-kun!" Reina said, while noticing the two of them.
"Look at this." Haruhiko showed her the time on his phone, and only a few minutes has passed since they disappeared. "Almost no time has passed since we got on that bus."
"And for some reason, it felt like we were in there for a day." Kazuto said.
The camera by the gate had been looking at them.
"Reina?" Reina's father voice was heard coming out from the camera, which made them look at it. "If that's you, come inside now!"
Reina soon stands on her feet, and removes herself from her friends.
"S-Sorry!" Reina said.
"Who are those boys next to you?" He asked.
"W-We're-." Haruhiko was about to explained.
"I know them from school. It was getting dark, so they walked me home." Reina told her father, before she whispers to her friends. "I'm sorry, but could you two please go home?"
"Sure…But what about-." Kazuto started.
"Please!" Reina exclaimed at them, before she looks to the ground. "I'll explained tomorrow."
"Reina!" Her father shouted to her, getting her attention. "What are you waiting for?"
"H-Hai! Bye!" Reina bowed to her friends, before she runs into her house, as Haruhiko was about to reach to her, but was too late.
"Reina-chan…" Haruhiko mutters, well feeling worried about her.
'I wonder if she doesn't get along with her family.' Kazuto wonders.
(Next day)
Kazuto and his team were now in the Neural Error Corrections Room, in their school, with Koito and Kiba inside as well, with Koito explaining things.
"I recognize it. It's one of those Phantoms that hypnotizes humans and takes them into its world." Koito explained.
"Then Kazuto and Haruhiko was hypnotized along with her…" Mai concluded.
"You shouldn't have eaten the food. That was when it got hold of your consciousness." Koito told them.
"Minase you shouldn't be rude, it's not like they know that would happen." Kiba scolded her.
"Reina, do you have any idea why you might have been possessed by such a thing?" Mai asked.
Reina looks down, while tightening her hands onto her skirt.
"To tell you the truth, I still have not been able to tell my parents that I joined this club." Reina explained.
"You're keeping it from them?" Ruru asked.
"But don't your parents know that you're a Phantom Eater?" Mai asked.
"Yes they do…But they consider Phantoms obscene and despise them. So they don't want me getting involved with them, either. So if I tell my parents that I'm in this club they definitely won't approve…And they'll probably make me transfer." Reina explained while looking a little sad.
This made Kazuto narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
"Seriously?" Ruru said surprised to hear that.
"No way." Mai said.
Haruhiko was sad about her after hearing that.
"That's just not right!" Kazuto exclaimed before standing up, which made everyone in the room look at him. "A parent shouldn't be like that! A parent should always support and love their children, no matter what they do!"
Kazuto then notices the look on their faces, before he sits down.
"Sorry…Didn't mean to shout like that." Kazuto said, while rubbing his neck.
"No it's alright. My sister got sick of my parents being that way and left home." Reina told them.
"You have a sister, Reina-chan?" Ruru asked.
"Yes." Reina nodded. "She liked biking, kind of like with Kazuto-kun with his bike. She often used to take me places on the back of her bike." Reina then turns to Mai. "She was a bit like Mai-oneesama."
Mai cheeks slightly blushed before Ruru fly closed to her.
"So that's why you took to Mai-chi as soon as you met her!" Ruru said.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you sooner, but…" Reina said.
"No, it isn't something you need to apologize for!" Mai assured her.
"This secret has been weighing on my mind lately. I'm finding it hard to make the journey home." Reina told them.
"I guess the Phantoms are taking advantage of those feelings." Haruhiko said.
Koito's phone rings as she got a call, which made her stands up.
"That's a work call." Koito then leaves the room. "If you'll excuse me."
"You're leaving, Koito-chan?" Ruru asked.
"I'm sure you lot, can deal with such a simple Phantom by yourselves." Koito told them, before she put on her headphones and leaves. "Bye."
"What's with her attitude?" Mai exclaimed, not liking Koito's attitude. "She gets on my nerves!"
"Calm down Mai, I agree that she needs to work on her attitude, but don't let her get to you." Kazuto told her.
Kiba soon heard and felt his phone ringing, but chose not to bring it out.
"Sorry," Kiba stands up and leaves as well. "But I have to go too. I have a job as well, see ya. And good luck on dealing with the Phantom."
Kiba then exits the room.
'Kiba Yuji…' Kazuto thought, wondering about him.
(Later)
It was now noon, Kazuto and his team, were now at the same bus stop, where the Phantom usually appears, Kazuto come prepared, when he brought Auto with him and is putting together the Faiz Gear.
"I am so sorry…" Reina mutters.
"We told you not to say that." Haruhiko said.
"Yeah, like Mai said before, we're like a family and family helps each other." Kazuto said, before he puts on the Faiz Gear.
"Right…" Reina mutters.
Mai then notices the bus Phantom appearing in front of them yet again.
"Haruhiko!" Mai called out.
"I got this!" Haruhiko said, before he opens his sketch book, to draw the Phantom to seal.
Auto Vajin, was about to attack, and Kazuto was about to enter the code to transformed into Faiz.
But soon he, Haruhiko, and Reina soon fallen into a hypnotic state.
"Oh no, Kazuto!" Auto Vajin said, as he shook his shoulders. "Come on, snap out of it."
Ruru looks at Haruhiko sketch book, and saw that the drawing was a mess.
"You failed!" Ruru exclaimed, before she slaps on his cheek.
"Looks like you're still affected by yesterday." Mai stated.
The bus Phantom's doors soon opens, which made Mai on edge, before she saw that her team, was going onto the bus.
"Kazuto? Haruhiko! Reina!" Mai called out, but they didn't respond.
Not wanting to be left behind, she jumps onto the bus, and Auto Vajin follows, and while the mysterious biker suit lady that had been watching yesterday, jumps to the bus as well.
The bus Phantom made a bright light.
When the light died down, Mai lands on the ground, with Auto Vajin by her side.
"What is this place?" Mai wonders, as she looks around the area, as she was now on the villa, which is the Phantoms world. "Auto, where are we?"
Auto's eyes blinked a few times, as he scanned around the area.
"By my best guess, I say this must be the Phantoms world, which the bus took, Kazuto, Haruhiko, and Reina, when they got on it." Auto told her.
"Otou-san, Okaa-san, we're home!" Reina called out as she and Kazuto, and Haruhiko enters the house, which made the two of them look as they enter.
"We're home!" Kazuto and Haruhiko called out.
Mother rabbit greets them home, with Mai and Auto listening, before Ruru flies to Mai's side, before they look at each other.
"They're totally bewitched." Mai said, before she and Ruru looks at each other. "We won't fall for it like they did."
"Yeah!" Ruru nodded agreement.
"Most certainly." Auto nodded as well.
Mai slams the door open, with Ruru holding a baton, and a lantern with the word police on it.
"Phantom police!" Ruru said.
"You will give them back!" Mai demanded.
Reina looks at her, before she begins to cry in joy.
"Onee-chan!" Reina said.
"Mai!" Mother Rabbit said, as she begins to try and brought a handkerchief by her teary eye.
"Eh?" Mai blinked in confusion, before they all hugged Mai in a family hug.
"Mai-oneechan!" Reina cried in joy.
"You've come back!" Mother Rabbit cried in joy as well.
"Otou-san, its Onee-chan! Mai-oneechan's home!" Reina called out.
"Say what?!" Father Rabbit shouted as he runs down, before he jumps to Mai. "Mai!"
Father Rabbit lands on her head, while hugging her.
"Mai! It's really you…Mai!" Father Rabbit cried in joy.
"What's going on here?" Mai wonders out loud.
Mai was soon brought to the dinner table, along with her team and the rabbit Phantoms, as Mother Rabbit place a plate of cold yakisoba by Mai, while Ruru who was eating her own on a table in her size.
"We were all so worried about you." Mother Rabbit told her.
"Seriously, what were you doing and where were you?" Kazuto asked.
"What…You're…" Mai was about to say something but stop, before she slightly turned to Reina, and she quickly decided to play along. "While…Stuff, I guess. But I got by."
Father Rabbit cries again, before he, drop his chopsticks, while looking at Mai.
"It must have been so hard…" Father Rabbit mutters.
"We won't tell you to stop biking anymore…" Mother Rabbit told her, as she cries as well, which made Mai sweat drop. "Just don't ever leave home again!"
"Sure…" Mai mutters, she then gone to Ruru and whispers to her. "This must be manifestation of Reina's feelings, too."
"You'd better not fall for it, Mai-chi." Ruru reminded her, as she eats.
"The food doesn't affect you since you're a Phantom, I take it?" Mai concluded.
"This is delicious, say, 'Ah'." Ruru told her, as she brought the food to Mai, and she eats it.
"Wow, it is." Mai said.
"See I told you!" Ruru said, before Mai realizes something.
"Wait you idiot!" Mai exclaimed, before bunny ears pop out of her head.
After dinner, Mai was sited between, Reina and Mother Rabbit on the couch, with everyone laughing together.
"Family is so nice!" Mai said.
"From now on…" Father Rabbit started.
"…We'll be a happy family." Kazuto and Haruhiko finished in the same time. "Right, Reina?"
"Yeah!" Reina nodded.
Ruru was watching, while trying to think of a way to free all of them from the Phantoms control, but soon gives up with a smile on her face.
"Well whatever. Everyone's having fun." Ruru said.
Auto Vajin had been watching them from outside, and his eyes were mostly on Kazuto, seeing the smile on his face, while laughing as well. Auto hadn't seen him like this for years after his parents died.
"Kazuto…" Auto mutters before he looks down. "Maybe I should let him have this…at least for a while…"
Auto Vajin's battle sensor detects danger behind him, which made him turns around as he saw a shadowy figure approaching him from the air.
Back inside, Haruhiko decided to use the bathroom, and was soon by the door, with Ruru on his shoulder.
"I'm so glad my whole family's here now." Haruhiko said, before he enters.
When he used it, he then said.
"Wait, I'm glad about what again?" Haruhiko wonders out loud.
Inside, the bunny ears on his head were now gone.
"What are you talking about?" Ruru asked. "Everyone's here now. It's happy times."
Ruru then notices the bunny ears were now gone, as Haruhiko looks down.
"Hey, your bunny ears are gone, Haruhiko." Ruru said, before Haruhiko turns to the little Phantom. "Good thing, too. They totally didn't suit you."
Haruhiko then slams the door open while getting out and while putting on his pants, and yelling at Ruru.
"It's not good!" Haruhiko yelled.
While Mai was looking at family photos with the rabbit Phantoms, Kazuto and Reina were watching them, before Haruhiko quietly walks to their and whispers to them.
"Kazuto. Reina-chan," Haruhiko then grabs onto them and drag them away. "Over here."
Haruhiko brought the two of the back to the bathroom.
"W-What's wrong?" Reina asked.
"Yeah and why are we in the bathroom?" Kazuto asked.
"In folklore, bathrooms are considered the portals to other worlds. That means it'll be easier for you two, to snap out of it here." Haruhiko explained.
"What are you talking about?" Reina asked.
"Yeah, you're sounding kind of weird here." Kazuto stated.
"Reina-chan! Kazuto!" Haruhiko grabs onto their shoulders. "Get a grip! We're not siblings! You two are being bewitched by Phantoms!"
"I don't get it…You're my brother, aren't you?" Reina said.
"Yeah, man, stop saying crazy stuff." Kazuto told him.
Haruhiko thought about for a while, until he figured out an idea. He grabs onto Kazuto shoulders.
"Kazuto, Reina-chan, sorry about this!" Haruhiko throws Kazuto to Reina, and he lands on her for a hug.
The bunny ears on Reina's head disappeared.
"H-H-How…" Reina mutters, before she got out of Kazuto's hug, and throws into the toilet with his head going in first. "How dare you?!"
Reina soon realizes what happened.
"K-Kazuto-kun?" Reina gasped, on wondering what was going on.
Kazuto then pulls his head out of the toilet, with his bunny ears now gone, before he turns to Reina.
"What was that for, Reina…Huh?" Kazuto said, before he looks around. "Where are we?"
"Alright, you did it; you're both back to normal." Ruru said, before she slaps on Haruhiko's shoulder. "Nice thinking, Haruhiko!"
Kazuto then heard his Phone ringing him soon brought it out and opens it, and saw an alert, saying that Auto is in battle.
"Auto's here? And is in battle…That would mean…" Kazuto said.
Kazuto and his friends quickly but quietly heads outside, and soon saw Auto Vajin falling onto the ground, and is seen slightly damaged.
"Auto!" Kazuto runs up and checks on Auto.
"Kazuto…?" Auto mutters surprised to see him here.
"So you are Faiz." A female voice is heard nearby.
Kazuto and friends look, and saw the opponent that Auto was fighting against.
It was a female Orphnoch, that is based around a rabbit, with one ear standing tall, and the other is bended, and wields two knifes on each hand.
"An Orphnoch." Kazuto said.
"Why is an Orphnoch here?" Reina said.
"It must have got on the bus, before it left." Haruhiko concluded.
"Auto, why didn't you snap me out of it, and battle the Orphnoch alone?" Kazuto asked.
"I'm sorry Kazuto…" Auto said, before the robot stands up along with Kazuto. "But after seeing you being so happy, I just couldn't bring myself to have you lose that happiness. So I just wanted to make it last and protect it."
"Auto…" Kazuto mutters, before he smiles and tabs on his shoulders. "Don't worry about it. I appreciate it, but sadly this isn't the world I live in."
Kazuto then removes the handle from Auto Vajin for his Faiz Edge, and soon face the Orphnoch.
"You can take a break; I can handle it from here." Kazuto said, before he pressed '5-5-5' and 'Enter'.
"STANDING BY!"
"Henshin!" Kazuto said, before he inserts the Faiz Phone into his Belt.
"COMPLETE!"
Kazuto soon transforms into Faiz, before he flicks his wrist.
Faiz and the Rabbit Orphnoch charges at each other, Faiz was about to slash her with his sword, but the Rabbit Orphnoch dodges by jumping over his attack and over him as well, while in the same time he slashes at with both of her knifes, before the Orphnoch lands on her feet behind Faiz.
Faiz turns around while going to slash at the Rabbit Orphnoch, but she dodges by ducking under it, and counters by summersault kicks him under his chin, and sends him to the ground.
Faiz then saw the Rabbit Orphnoch jumping at him while going to double stab him. Faiz quickly dodges by rolling to the side, letting her stab into the ground. Faiz soon got back up and was going to stab at the Orphnoch, but she dodges it by jumping over it again, and kicks on Faiz's head two times, making stumble back.
Faiz soon stops and soon saw the Rabbit Orphnoch jumping around on the area going around Faiz. The Rabbit Orphnoch lands a slash on Faiz's back, Faiz was about to counter slashes, but the Orphnoch jumps away, before she kicks him on the side of his head.
Faiz was a little frustrated of the Orphnoch's attack patterns, but soon clams down, before he removes his Mission Memory and inserts it into his Faiz Edge.
"READY!"
Faiz focus as he kept his eyes on the Rabbit Orphnoch, looking for the right opening, he waited, and waited, until he saw the timing as she readies her foot jumps.
"There!" Faiz said, before he pressed the 'Enter' button on the Faiz Phone.
"EXCEED CHARGE!"
Faiz then sends an energy wave at the Rabbit Orphnoch, as she was about to hit the ground, only to be hit by the energy wave.
"Nani?!" The Rabbit Orphnoch gasped, before she got trap in an energy prison.
Faiz soon charges at the Rabbit Orphnoch two times. The Rabbit Orphnoch then turns to ashes, as Faiz's symbol appears when it did.
After the battle, Faiz and his friends were watching over Mai, with the rabbit Phantoms, with Reina explaining things to them.
"I've been thinking…If only Onee-sama would come home and patch things up with my parents…That is, a sight I've been, wanting to see for ages. Even if it's only Phantom trickery." Reina explained, while she saw the happy look on Mai's face.
"Reina…" Faiz and Haruhiko mutters.
"I feel like this is my real home. My parents are kind, and my sister is here. And I have a place for myself." Reina said looking a little sad.
"Are you saying you won't want to leave?" Ruru asked.
Reina slightly tightens her hand.
"Listen Reina…" Faiz got her attention. "I understand that the real world can be sad and unjust, but in the same time," Faiz looks at her. "It can also be full of warmth and love, because trust me, I feel like that whenever I'm with you, Mai, Haruhiko, and even Ruru. Yes in this world you can be happy all the time, but in reality, you can be happy because you have me and the others with you."
"Kazuto-kun…" Reina mutters.
"Reina…" They look and saw the rabbit Phantoms now outside staring at them, with Mai unconscious.
"Mai!" Faiz said in worried.
"Reina, now that you've awoken, we have no choice but to leave." Father Rabbit said, as the world around them changes into a dark empty space. "After all, this world was nothing but a parasite on your dreams."
"But if you choose, you may come with us, too." Mother Rabbit told her, which gotten Reina's attention. "You could be our real daughter, and we could live happily together forever."
"But we won't force you. If you want to leave, we won't stop you." Father Rabbit told her.
"Otou-san…Okaa-san…" Reina mutters before she slowly walks to them.
"Don't go!" Haruhiko called out, as Reina kept walking.
"Reina…"
"Will you be our family?"
"No!" Haruhiko shouted, and runs to Reina. "You won't be able to come back! Reina-chan!"
Faiz clicks his tongue knowing that his right.
"Screw it!" Faiz chases after her as well.
"Damn it, I can't keep up…" Haruhiko mutters.
"Yeah and I don't think we're reaching her like this." Faiz said.
Haruhiko then trips, which made Faiz turns to him and helps him up.
"My Kaa-san left home, too…She couldn't get along with Tou-san. Just like your sister!" Haruhiko told her, which made her stop. "Ever since that day, things haven't been good with my Dad, too. But if I also left the house, my family really would fall apart. That's why I'm still waiting for Mom to come home!"
"And I…I won't be able to see either of my parents again, so I understand why you want to choose this, but remember what I told you!" Faiz told her. "If you leave, I will be saddened if you're gone from our lives forever."
"Same with me! What if your sister comes back home and you aren't there? Don't you think she'd be sad if you weren't there for her?" Haruhiko asked her, as tears begin to form on Reina's eyes.
"Until then…" Haruhiko said.
"Until then…" Faiz said.
"You belong where you are, with us!" Faiz and Haruhiko told her.
Reina then begins to cry.
"Come on, Reina." Faiz said.
"Everyone's waiting for you." Haruhiko told her.
With a heavy and sad heart, Reina made her decision, and took a step back, to be with her friends in the real world.
The rabbit Phantoms, weren't sad about this, and made a small smile.
"It's all right. If that's what you wish, then that's fine." Then a bright light appears below the two Phantoms.
"It was only for a short while, but it was fun being your family." Mother Rabbit said, before he turns to Faiz. "And it was fun to be your mother as well."
Faiz's eyes widen under his helmet, when she said that.
Then the two rabbit Phantoms soon started to fade.
"Remember us sometimes, would you?" Reina continues to cry as they were leaving.
"Goodbye, Reina."
"Otou-san! Okaa-san!" Reina called out. "I…I…I'm sorry…"
They were now back in the real world, Faiz then changes back to Kazuto, Ruru then notices something on Kazuto.
"Oh, Kazu-chi! Your crying!" Ruru stated.
"What…" Kazuto said, before he checks, and now notices she's right, as tears kept falling from his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Haruhiko asked.
Kazuto wipes the tears away.
"I don't know…For some reason, I was sad when they left too." Kazuto said, before he saw Mai on the ground, he then goes to her and saw that she's still unconscious, and he soon picks her up and carries her on his back. "But anyway…Where's Reina?"
They look and saw Reina siting on the ground, and is still crying, before she finally stops and looks at the starry night sky.
"I'll be strong." Reina said.
(Next day)
Kazuto and friends were now in the lunch room of their school, and are sited on the same table with each other.
"I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused." Reina bowed her head. "Especially for you, Kazuto-kun, and Haruhiko-kun!"
"Don't worry about it." Kazuto assured.
"Yeah, I…" Haruhiko started.
"It's okay. It was all for your sake." Ruru finished for him.
"What gives you the right to say that?" Haruhiko exclaimed at her.
"Huh? But I worked so hard." Ruru stated.
"You didn't do anything!" Haruhiko exclaimed.
As they were arguing, and before Ruru started to pull on Haruhiko's hair, Reina can't help but smile, and soon laughs.
"Anyway, I'm glad your parents gave you permission to join the club." Mai said.
"Yeah, I guess I'm sort of wrong about them." Kazuto said.
"This whole thing happened because I never told my parents about the club. I thought I should confront it and talk to them properly." Reina explained, as her friends proudly smiles for her confidence.
"You toughed it out, huh, Reina-chan?" Ruru asked.
"Hai!" Reina nodded with a big smile on her face.
(Later)
After school is over, Kazuto is seen repairing and tuning up Auto Vajin, from the battle against the Rabbit Orphnoch.
"Hey Kazuto," Auto got his attention, as he work on him.
"Yeah, what is it Auto?" Kazuto asked, as he kept working on him.
"Listen I know that whole Phantom ordeal was a trick…But in the same time I think that it was a…" Auto said.
"Was a gift?" Kazuto asked, and soon smiles. "You don't have to say it, because somehow I feel the same way."
"That's certainly good to hear." Auto said.
Kazuto then soon got done, with Auto's maintenance, soon stands up, and looks at the sky, and soon sees the image of her real mother hugging him as a child, which made him smile.
"Kazuto-kun!" Kazuto looks and saw Reina walking to him.
"Oh Reina, what are you doing here?" Kazuto asked.
"I wanted to check on Haruhiko. Is he home?" Reina asked.
"No sorry, he just left and heads to the library." Kazuto said.
"Oh I see. But anyway what were you doing?" Reina asked.
"Oh I was just working on Auto." Kazuto said, before he and Reina looks at his bike. "That Orphnoch did a better bad number on him."
Reina then walks to his bike, and looks at it.
"You must have taken great care of Auto for a long time, didn't you?" Reina asked.
"Yeah, what can I say, he's like family to me." Kazuto said.
"The way you take care of your bike, it reminds me of another boy I used to know a few years ago." Reina said.
"Really?" Kazuto asked.
"Yes, I met him in a small town in a family trip once. He was a motocross racer too." Reina said.
"That's pretty cool. What was his name?" Kazuto asked.
"Hmm…It was a long time ago, but I think that his name was Minato." Reina stated.
That made Kazuto's eyes widen when he heard that.
"Minato?" Kazuto mutters quietly, which had gotten Reina's attention.
"What? Did you know him as well?" Reina asked.
"What…Oh no, I'm not sure either, I mean it could be a different Minato I know." Kazuto stated.
"Okay…If you're sure." Reina said.
"Yeah of course!" Kazuto turns around, while in deep thought. 'It can't be that same Minato can it?'
