Hey guys! Here is the next chapter as promised! Enjoy~
The door opens, everyone looks at the people who just arrived.
A little look to the left, and then the other side so he can see who's there.
Everyone was there except for Shin, who was probably busy doing something at the back of the store for the party.
Then suddenly, everyone applauded.
"Cheers to Aichi who finally recovered!" Miwa said "Oh, and also for Misaki's birthday!" he added as if he forgot it in the first place
"Yeah!" Everyone replied except for Aichi and Misaki
Everyone was then silent, looking at Aichi and Misaki as if waiting for them to say something.
"Y-Yeah!" Aichi said stuttering as if taking it as a cue for him to say it.
Misaki on the other hand just sighed.
And just like that, the party has begun.
Aichi just chose to take a seat by the corner of the shop after taking a drink while Misaki went to her room upstairs to probably do something.
Aichi took a sip and didn't notice Kamui was already in front of him.
"Hey bro, how's it been?" Kamui asked
"Fine, I guess." Aichi said
"Woah, why are you looking a little down?" Kamui asked
"Wait, is my face like that right now?" Aichi asked
"Well, yes. If you don't know it, you're looking a bit down right now." Kamui replied
Aichi didn't know it but he just thought "Maybe I'm just getting nervous since I haven't met them for a while."
"By the way, how are you guys doing? I heard Kai re-joined Q4." Aichi said
"Hmmm? Oh we're just doing fine. Though I hate to admit it, Kai is good." Kamui said
"That's good. Why don't you go party? I just want to sit here. And kindly tell anyone who'll ask me that I'm fine. I kinda need to rest a bit." Aichi said
"Okay bro." Kamui replied
Aichi finished his drink and found it strange that he was getting sleepy when he was just drinking juice.
Aichi tried to resist not falling asleep but it got the better of him and he has fallen asleep again.
~Aichi's Dream~
Aichi once again found himself on Planet Cray.
"Hello Aichi, how are you doing?" a voice from behind Aichi asked
Aichi turned around to see his best friend Blaster Blade
"I'm doing great Owen. What's this all about?" Aichi asked
"Since everyone in the Gold Paladin is busy but I'm not, I'm sent here by the king to send you a message." Owen said
This caught Aichi's attention
"I'm listening." Aichi said
"So, some things from that dream of yours will be coming true but we can't specify which events. However, it doesn't mean it will happen the way it did in your dream. Some things maybe changed but again we can't specify which events." Owen said
"And, is that all?" Aichi asked
"Yes, that is all." Owen said
"One thing before you go. Did you guys make me fall asleep?" Aichi asked
"Well, yes. We have some great mages in town. I'll let you meet them the next time you visit us, okay?" Owen said
"Okay." Aichi said smiling then his vision starts to get blurry
~End of Dream~
Aichi opens his eyes to see no one but Misaki cleaning the store
Aichi tries to make little movement as possible so that Misaki won't notice but his efforts failed him as Misaki was already on her way to where he was.
"You awake now, sleepy-head? You slept through a lot of things again." Misaki said
"They called me." Aichi murmured but Misaki was able to hear it
"Who did?" Misaki asked out of curiosity
"Forget I just said that. And yeah, I know. I just suddenly got sleepy again." Aichi said
Misaki just did as Aichi said and said "I think you should really exercise to get back to your old self again. How about you wake up early some time and jog around town. You might see some changes in this town while you were asleep."
Misaki made some sense and Aichi could just simply reply "I'll try to do it some time."
Misaki satisfied sat on the chair opposite to Aichi to talk.
"So, how are you going to go home?" Misaki asked
"How? What do you mean?" Aichi asked a little clueless
"Look through the door, Aichi." Misaki said
Aichi did so and noticed that it was raining so hard
"It's been raining for a while now and all our umbrellas are borrowed by the gang." Misaki said
Aichi started thinking and was interrupted by Misaki
"Emi called earlier and she asked your mother if you could sleep over and she agreed." Misaki said
"Wait, why does this event seem familiar? Is that so? I have to stay then." Aichi thought before saying
"Hmmm you okay sleeping in that?" Misaki asked pointing at his clothes
"I guess since I've got nothing else to wear." Aichi replied
"You can always borrow Shin's old pajamas." Misaki said
"No, it's okay. I've become kinda used to it, though." Aichi said
Misaki looked at him before saying "Okay, suit yourself. Are you going to take a shower?"
"Yes I will but you go take it first." Aichi replied
"I'll go then. Take this and continue what I just did." Misaki said with a small smirk handing Aichi a broom
Misaki went upstairs to take a shower while Aichi continued cleaning the shop.
"Hey, the event that's going to happen seems familiar. Oh right, I remember. This was when I stayed over since Misaki broke her leg, I think." Aichi thought
Aichi continued cleaning and when he was done, he took a seat in the same seat as before and took out his deck.
He started looking at each and every card there.
He thought that there were still the same cards but it proved him wrong soon enough.
"Wait a minute, these cards are…." Aichi said not wanting to finish the sentence
*sounds of footsteps*
Aichi hurriedly put his cards back onto his deck holder and put it to his pockets.
"I'm done showering, you can go shower now." Misaki said already in her pajamas
"Ah yes, if you won't mind." Aichi said
Aichi was about to walk up the stairs when suddenly Misaki slipped and Aichi rushed to Misaki's side
"Are you okay!?" Aichi asked with worry
"I think I am." Misaki said trying her best to smile and stand
"Don't stand. You just broke your leg." Aichi said seriously
Misaki was surprised that Aichi knew even though she didn't show any signs
"Come on, let's go. I'll help you go back to your room." Aichi said putting Misaki's left arm on the back of his neck
"I'm sorry, I was too clumsy." Misaki said with a low voice
"Don't be. You didn't do it on purpose." Aichi said back with a smile
They reached Misaki's room after Misaki pointed where it is but Aichi already knew
Aichi sat her down by the bed and called Shin to help her
Shin checked Misaki's leg but it looked okay to him.
Shin said this to Aichi and he agreed
"I think she just needs to rest a bit." Shin said
"I think so too." Aichi said
Shin went back to whatever he was doing
"If you don't mind, I'll go take a shower now." Aichi said
Misaki gave a nod and Aichi went out the door to take a shower after Misaki gave him directions to where it was.
It's been a long day for Aichi so he took a shower quickly and wore his clothes once more before asking Misaki where he was sleeping
He was sleeping with Misaki in her room but he was given a small bed to sleep on.
Aichi set out the bed and slept since it was just his first day back but he was already tired.
And okay guys, thus ends this chapter. I'd like to thank everyone who are still updated to this fanfiction, even though it has gotten slower. Next chapter will still be within 2 weeks.
