The next day, Kenzumi, Satoshi, Senpai, MC Adore, Ms. Beata and Luis were in Mrs. Kohai's minivan, out on the countryside driving their way to Mr. Kohai's ranch.

"Are we there yet?" Senpai asked.

"Just a few more miles." Mrs. Kohai said.

"And I thought little kids say that." MC Adore joked.

"Say, how was the adventure yesterday?" Mrs. Kohai asked. "Did you meet anyone new?"

"Well, we did meet that golfer lady with Mandrill and that pink monkey." Kenzumi said.

"And what about that General Nixxiom man? What happened to him?"

"He's in jail," Satoshi said. "And serves him right, he was even more of a jerk than what Queen Rhythmia originally was!"

"You mean she's changed?" Senpai asked.

"Yep. When we went to go make her mad, we found her sobbing while looking through a picture book. I guess she finally got the message."

"I knew she would come to her mistake." Ms. Beatia said in joy and relief. "I knew she missed me."

"Too bad you can't go back to see her again." MC Adore said.

"That wasn't very nice." Mrs. Kohai said.

"Sorry."

"Does this mean she won't try to take anymore rhythm?" Senpai asked.

"I guess not." Kenzumi said. "And all of the soldiers are banished, so she couldn't do it even if she wanted to."

"That's good to hear."


About ten minutes later, Mrs. Kohai pulled the minivan into the ranch. They got up and looked around at the ranch, with all the animals and the barn. Out in the distance they could see the huge crop field, and near the barn were several sheep of different colors.

"Your dad sure knows how to make a living." Senpai said.

"Thank you." Kenzumi said.

At that moment, Mr. Kohai came out of his house, wearing his usual farmer's attire.

"Howdy." He said, approaching the group.

"Hey dad." Kenzumi said.

"So this is your dad?" Senpai said.

"Yep."

"And is this your girlfriend that your mom's been telling me about?" Asked Mr. Kohai.

"She sure is."

"And she's mine!" Satoshi said, pointing at MC Adore.

"Nice to meet you." MC Adore said.

"Nice to meet you too." Said Mr. Kohai in return. "Anyone care to don some country wear, you know, to get into the spirit?"

"Sure thing dad." Kenzumi said.


A little while later, everyone was decked out in countryside wear. Afterwards, everyone went off to do their own thing. Ms. Beatia and Luis went off to go exploring, Mr. and Mrs. Kohai talked about how they've been doing, and Satoshi and MC Adore were playing ball games with the multicolored sheep.

As for Kenzumi and Senpai, they sat on a log, looking off into the distance.

"Do you think we'll see General Nixxiom again?" Senpai asked.

"I don't really know." Kenzumi said. "Unless he escapes from prison, he shouldn't be a huge problem."

"And what about Queen Rhythmia? Will we ever see her again?"

"I don't know that either. If she decides to banish herself probably."

"Yeah, I guess."

Suddenly, two very familiar looking weasels popped out of a hole near them.

"Hey look, it the two cute weasels again!" Senpai said, pointing at the weasels.

Kenzumi smiled at her enthusiasm, but then realized that this was starting to feel familiar.

Wait, I've been through this before. He thought to himself.

He then looked to where the ball games were being played, and saw that one of the balls, a soccer ball, was bouncing towards them. On the rhythm, he kicked the ball away. Then came the basketball, which had a different pattern. With the rhythm he needs, Kenzumi kicked the ball back to the game.

And then came the football. He remembered how that ball ruined his first date a year ago, and he wasn't about to let that happen again. He watched the ball, and saw that it bounced backwards. After that, he kicked the ball, and the weasels jumped out of the hole in joy, surprising Senpai.

Now that Kenzumi knew the pattern, he was able to keep up the beat, and keep the balls from hitting the weasels. This went on until Satoshi and MC Adore decided to stop playing the ball games.

"I like this date." Senapi said.

"Yeah, me too." Kenzumi said.

So Kenzumi and Senpai got up to go exploring, holding hands all the way.
