Chapter 6: Him again?
Setting: inside the Ramen Don Time: 12:25
(A loud yell came from outside.)
(I turned to look out the window, and saw one kangaroo, one bat, and one crab Noise, and two people, but the Noise looked kinda different, and seemed a lot more vicious than before.)
Me: … [Wait, what am I doing sitting here? They are being attacked and need help!]
(I turned to Joshua who apparently noticed them too.)
Joshua: Well, look at that. Two players found them already.
Me: Yeah, and there about to be erased. Come on let's go!
Joshua: Where to?
(I glared at him.)
Me: [Wow. Where do you think? Is he just pretending to be confused to annoy me?] Out there to help them of course!
Joshua: (sigh) [It's no use arguing with her. She'll probably go with or without me, so…] Well, what are we waiting for?
(I was confused now.)
Me: [What?]
Joshua: Are we going?
Me: …Yeah, let's go.
Setting: Dogenzaka Time: 12:35
?: They're really strong…
?: What… the heck is… going on! I thought we… beat…the game…
?: I don't know, Neku.
Neku: I don't know…how much longer…I…can fight…Shiki.
Shiki: You've got to… hang in there, Neku…!
Joshua: I thought you would put up more of a fight. I'm disappointed in you.
(Joshua smirked.)
Me: [What! It's him again?]
(Neku glared at Joshua.)
Neku: Go away!
(Joshua pretended to be surprised.)
Joshua: I came here to help and this is how you treat me?
Neku: Help? You brought me back into the game!
(Joshua shrugged.)
Neku: Why you little-
Shiki: Neku, we don't have time to argue! Like it or not, we need as much help as we can get!
(Neku was a little surprised by her sudden outburst, but realizing he didn't have many options, nodded in agreement.)
Neku: (sigh) [Great. Here we go.]
