-In Jin's apartment in the early morning, Shirabe was washing the dishes in the kitchen while Jin and Kirika were in the living together as the two were chatting-

Kirika: Hmmm?! Yes! This is it desu! -She yelled as she sat beside Jin while holding a mug of coffee in her hands as she would then take a sip and pull the mug away from her lips after taking a sip- Hnggg! This is really bitter black coffee desu! Please drink the rest for me desu... -She said as she gave the mug to Jin as he would chuckle softly and held onto the mug and drank the rest of the black coffee-

Jin: Haha! You sure can't handle bitter stuff now can't you?

Kirika: I wanted to try something different desu! -She said as she would then faceplant on Jin's lap as he would rub her head lightly, Kirika then blushed madly as she quickly raised her head and turned her position to lying her head on his lap instead of the latter as she realised that what she did was inappropriate- Desu..

Jin: Kiri-chan? What's wrong?

Kirika: I-It's nothing desu!

Jin: Well all right then. -He said as he would then finish the cup of coffee and after he was done, he'd then look at his watch to see the time- Oh, I gotta go.

Kirika: Hmm? Where are you going desu? It's still so early desu! And it's a Sunday!

Jin: I have plans.

Kirika: Who are you meeting up with?

Jin: No one, I'm just heading out.

Kirika: Can I come desu?

Jin: You're staying here~

Kirika: Eh?! Why?!

Jin: To keep Shirabe company and she needs help around the house~

Kirika: Buu.. -She pouted as she crossed her arms and looked away from Jin, the male would chuckle softly as he patted Kirika's head softly and went to the kitchen to wash the mug, Shirabe was drying the dishes as she saw Jin enter the kitchen-

Shirabe: Are you heading out?

Jin: Yeah, do you want me to get you anything?

Shirabe: No, I'm fine, thank you.

Jin: If you want Taiyaki, I'll get some while I'm heading back.

Shirabe:...One is enough for me.

Jin: Hehe~ Sure thing. -After he washed the mug, he would pass the wet mug to Shirabe as he would then move over to her and give her a quick peck on the cheek. Shirabe would then smile happily as she blushed as Jin would then leave the apartment and headed out as he went to the base-

-After Jin left, Shirabe finished cleaning the dishes as she took off her apron and went to the living room to see Kirika as she then saw Kirika looking irritated as Kirika was on her phone-

Shirabe: Kiri-chan? Is something wrong?

Kirika; DEAAATTTHHH!

Shirabe: Eh? W-What's wrong?

Kirika: I just messaged Serena desu!

Shirabe: Yeah and?

Kirika: I told her that Jin-Nii-chan is going out desu!

Shirabe: Now was that necessary? It's none of our business if Nii-san is going out, Kiri-chan. It's just rude..

Kirika: I don't care desu! Serena just said that Maria left the apartment early this morning desu! She said she had "plans" too desu!

Shirabe: So? What's your point?

Kirika: Jin-Nii-chan and Maria might be meeting up together desu!

Shirabe:...Huh? -Shirabe's eyes became dark as soon as she heard that Jin was meeting up with Maria- Why would he meet up with his Ex-Girlfriend, Kiri-chan?

Kirika: -Afraid, she realised that she said something she shouldn't have to trigger Shirabe's jealousy. Kirika panicked as she would then try to talk it out with Shirabe- I-It's all right desu, it's Jin-Nii-chan after all desu! He won't cheat on you or anything desu! We should believe in him desu~ Besides, when he comes back home, we can ask him what he did and he will tell us the truth anyway desu~

Shirabe: Fine then. -Her eyes went back to normal as she would then head to the changing room to get the clothes out from the washing machine-

Kirika: -She sighed in relief after Shirabe acted normal as usual- Thank God desu...I didn't know Shirabe would get that jealous...

-Back in the base training grounds, Hibiki, Tsubasa along with Kanade were fighting against Genjuro and Soran, although the two males were fighting against each other as well as they trained. Maria and Ogawa were watching the group train as Jin would then enter the viewing room-

Jin: Heyo~

Maria: Ah! Jin! Hi!

Jin: Good morning~ So what did I miss?

Maria: They've just started.

Jin: Oh? Seems like Hibiki and Soran are really going at it too~

Ogawa: Indeed, Hibiki-san is a natural fighter but Soran-san has the tenacity and experience above all the other girls.

Jin: Is that so? Maria, follow me for a moment, I have something exciting to show you.

Maria: Hmm? What is it?

Jin: Just come~ -He said as he would hold onto Maria's hand and pulled her lightly as the girl blushed when he held her hand as she nodded and followed him out, Ogawa watched the two as he would then chuckle softly and turned back to the fight-

-In the arena, Tsubasa jumped up in the air as she aimed her blade to strike Genjuro. The man would grab the tip of her blade and toss her aside powerfully as Tsubasa used the wings on her legs to balance her and to avoid falling as she was singing the song "Beyond the BLADE"-

"Sin… Eradicating… Madness… Imprisoning… Absolute… Blade

Kill… Evil… Immediately…

Traces of the howling wraiths stretch madly beneath the moon

Tonight the sharpness of my fangs can sympathize

How would you like your name on your gravestone? Tell me now.

A stanza from the death poem for your agony says: Ah… It was inevitable

From the beginning were we any different from beasts? Did we rust and break?

Days of endless hesitation and confusion, but today

Heresy cuts through this flash of sorrow [Kill evil immediately]

The hungry fangs of the wolf are a double-edged sword that will destroy me

I grind my teeth and spit my blood, I know that yet I consume

Should you call a sword a sword? Nay, friends call me Tsubasa

…My name means [Wings that fly towards my dreams]

I solemnly close my eyes in a moment of calm and end my blade/life

I sleep without learning the reaching the deepest mysteries and die

It can't be helped if I'm called a demon child, even if I have to slash with cruelty

I still bear the iron chains that can't be torn away known as destiny

The past gave birth to the present, I think that and I can believe

The voice I bear upon my back sounds strongly, I want you to listen

to this warmth ah!… tears [… Our weakness ends now]

Even if I break and die today, so tomorrow I can sing in front of others

So they may know that the battlefield isn't the only place for my song

The voice I wanted most to listen, pierce through, echo through, surpass heaven and earth

My life is [the guardian of dreams]

Sin… Eradicating… Madness… Imprisoning… Absolute… Blade

Kill… Evil… Immediately…

My pride of heaven and hell is tested

There isn't anything my blade cannot cut

[Kill evil immediately]

The hungry fangs of the wolf are a double-edged sword that will destroy me

All that live in this world are driven by the past

Should you call a sword a sword? Nay, friends call me Tsubasa

…My name means [Wings that fly towards my dreams]"

-After Genjuro had tossed Tsubasa, he looked to the side and noticed that Soran was running towards him. Genjuro cracked his knuckles as he raised his right leg and slammed his foot down onto the ground to create an Earthquake, causing the ground ahead of him to crack strongly as the ground shook. Soran stood still as the ground shook and the cracks were heading towards him, Soran yelled as he began to sing the song "Dystopia"-

"背徳の闇に軋む黒で塗られた進化の忌み

哀しみは息を殺し魂に祈りを

指の先でなびく時代 灰色の雲に包まれ

アシッドの雨の中でモラルが溶けた夜

割り当てられたアルファベット 誰も彼も記号で呼ばれ

薄れゆく理性の中 誰が為の争いを

記憶の隅に宿る傷が終わり告げる

遠くの声が囁いた新たな始まりの予感

愛は時を超え夢は遥か彼方へ声は届くどこまでも

わずかな希望でも信じる力は誰よりも深く刻まれた絆

愛は時を超えて

あの日風が止まった街に奇妙な果実は熟れる

惡の花言葉を狩る裏切りのデストピア

全てを知ったような顔で息を吸うように嘘を吐く

偽りのサイレンが弾く無意識のトリガー

既読のメモリー残る過去ログに踊り疲れ

書きかけのメール壊れて消えた理想の未来

生きる意味を問え この世に降りた戦士達 儚く脆く眩い

今を迷えラビリンス 一筋の光の元へ夜が明けるその前に

愛は時を超えて

愛は時を超え夢は遥か彼方へ声は届くどこまでも

わずかな希望でも信じる力は誰よりも深く刻まれた絆

泡立つ肌に接吻

愛は時を超えて"

-When Soran sang, he placed his hands onto the ground as the scarf around his neck would wrap itself around Soran's arms as his arms glowed bright red, the earth stopped cracking as the ground shined underneath the cracks and the lights from the cracks were heading towards Genjuro. Genjuro knew that an attack was heading towards him, he would quickly jump up into the air to dodge the attack but the ground that he had stood on explode as the flames would morph and form eight massive snake heads as they would surround Genjuro. The man realised that he was troubled by the sudden elemental transformation but the eight heads were then destroyed as a spear pierced the heads, causing the flames to disperse-

Genjuro: Kanade-kun!

Kanade: You owe me one, Big man!

Genjuro: Fine then!

-Kanade and Genjuro landed onto a safe area as Kanade quickly grabbed her spear and aimed her spear at Soran who was standing in front of the two-

Kanade: Although this is training to fight against you and Soran, I think the better option would be teaming up to beat him instead!

Genjuro: I agree, he's a bit too powerful, even for me.

Kanade: Stronger than Fine?

Genjuro: He is much stronger than her..

Kanade: -Her eyes widened in surprised to hear Genjuro admit that Soran was much stronger than Fine- Well that's just surprising, well alright, I guess we'll have to team up then. Though why did those snake heads appear anyway?

Genjuro: The images of Yamato no Orochi. It is the powerful Serpent demon that was slain by the Blade of Kusanagi.

Kanade: But I heard Soran's form is Ninetails, how can Orochi be inside the blade?

Genjuro: There is still a lot that we don't know, Kanade-kun! Ah! -Genjuro was then hit by Tsubasa as Tsubasa was tossed by Soran. Both Genjuro and Tsubasa would crash and hit the wall of a building as the song "Genkai Toppa G-beat" was then heard as Hibiki jumped in and jumped past Kanade with her fists up as she was about to punch Soran-

"The determination to break through a single point in my right hand, is in this song of mine

Before asking [How? Why?], I bear this courage

In my fist without hesitation

Be brave (Let's shout) Go in a straight line no matter what

Reach it (Let's shout) I'm the type who fights with one big shot

Smash through (this wall) break through (this heart)

As long as there's a song in my heart

(Believe in) justice (Hold it) tight

Stand tall and become a flower of your own colour

(Not a HERO)

Cry out! (G-beat) Hit the meter! (G-beat) Shake it all off!

With these two hands, with this song, protect it all!

Pierce through! (G-beat) Burn up with your ideals! (G-beat) Fiercely!

I don't need and don't know of any limits

I definitely won't let you go!

I won't lose to the burden and the destiny contained within this power I hold

Even if I get hurt protecting something

I can't abandon my duty just because it's painful

More! (Let's shout) Unless you step forward with resolve

Tightly! (Let's shout) You can't face the future

Tears (I know them) Pain (I know it)

I want to connect before it burns out

Holding out (that hand) extend (that hand)

So I can believe I'm doing this for someone

(Not a HERO)

Rumble on (G-beat) At mach speed (G-beat) Howl out

Become the wind, slice apart the clouds, to the sun in the sky!

Let's go (G-beat) With all my heart (G-beat) At a thousand percent!

To ride this rainbow as high as it'll go!

Echo out! The love in this steel arm!

Cry out! (G-beat) Hit the meter! (G-beat) Shake it all off!

With these two hands, with this song, protect it all!

Pierce through! (G-beat) Burn up with your ideals! (G-beat) Fiercely!

I don't need and don't know of any limits

I definitely won't let you go!"

-Hibiki would then pin Soran down to the ground as he struggled to break free but Hibiki forcefully pushed him down, making him unable to move. Soran panicked as his arms were hurting from Hibiki's force as she was slowly crushing his hands without knowing. Soran then acted on impulse as he would then stop struggling as he would then stare at Hibiki as his eyes glowed bright red and the shape of his pupils became sharp like a cat's. He was telepathically trying to make Hibiki weaker but for some reason, she was unaffected by his powers, Hibiki tilted her head as she looked at him as she would then smile at him-

Hibiki: Hehe~ The more I look at you up close, the more I realise that you're actually pretty cute like a girl.

-Soran ignored what Hibiki said as he was in pain as his left wrist was slowly breaking and the bones on Soran's right palm was slowly cracking from Hibiki's immense strength. Hibiki did not know what was going on as Soran was tearing up as he was in pain but he held in his scream as he continued to struggle-

Genjuro: Soran-kun..

Kanade: Why can't he get up?

Tsubasa: -She stood up and saw the situation from a distance as Tsubasa's eyes widened at the sight of Soran's expression as he gave off the same painful expression Chris showed whenever she's in pain in battle- TACHIBANA! LET HIM GO!

Hibiki: Eh? But we're training! -The ground in front of Hibiki exploded as Hibiki turned her attention to what it was as her eyes widened, everyone else were shocked at what they saw in front of Hibiki as they saw a man in a pure White Shogun-like armour with rosary floating around the man's armour and he was holding onto a blue long sword on his right hand and a stone mirror on his left that emitted flames from the edges of the mirror- J-Jin-san?

Jin: Let him go, Hibiki.

Hibiki: How are you able to use your Symphogear armour?

Jin: You're hurting Soran! You're crushing his hands! -Maria joined in as she was in her Symphogear armour as well as she stood beside Jin. Hibiki looked down to see Soran's painful expression as his gear would then disappear, after Soran's armour deactivated on it's own, Soran would scream in pain as Hibiki panicked and let go of his hands as she got up and walked back in panic after seeing Soran in pain. Kinji would run up to Soran to check on Soran-

Hibiki: I-I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!

Kinji: Miku-chan's gonna freak when she finds out about this..

Hibiki: M-Miku?! S-She's gonna kill me...

Kinji: You don't say? -Kinji would then carry Soran as the white haired male was still screaming and shouting in pain- Hibiki-chan, come with me, I'm gonna need you to be there for Soran after I repair his hands.

Hibiki: M-Me?! I-I-I can't! Soran will get angry at me and Miku wouldn't want me to get close to him after this!

Kinji: Hibiki-chan! Please! Soran needs you!

Hibiki: N-No! I can't! Not after what I just did to him! -Maria would walk up to Hibiki and slapped Hibiki across the face strongly, causing Hibiki to fall to the ground after getting slapped as Hibiki would look up at Maria with tears flowing down her cheeks-

Maria: Hibiki, I understand that you feel that you are responsible for causing so much pain to Soran but you cannot run away from something you did! You need to face it head on! If Miku isn't there for him and if you won't be there for him then who will?!

Hibiki: But I...

Maria: Hibiki! Listen to yourself! You're gonna leave him alone all by himself?! I know that you're a kind person and you won't run away from a fight but don't run away from your friends and your responsibilities or nobody will respect you! Do you want Soran to hate you?

Hibiki: NO! No I don't..

Maria: Then face this problem head on like who you really are and stay by his side until he's better!

Hibiki: Y-You're right...I mean it's Soran after all! I can't run away from him when he needs help.. T-Thank you, Maria-san. -She said to Maria as she stood up and deactivated her gear as she ran out of the training room with Kinji as the three headed to the medical bay-

Maria: -She would then turn and look at Jin- Are you sure it's okay for you to not operate on Soran's hand and wrist?

Jin: Ayumu is already at the medical bay, he can do it better than I can. -The other three would walk up to both Maria and Jin-

Kanade: J-Jin, how are you able to use a Symphogear?

Tsubasa: This is unbelievable!

Genjuro: Jin-kun! Your life is at stake and you're using a Symphogear! You will die if you're not careful!

Maria: C-Commander! Let me speak on Jin's behalf!

Genjuro: What is it?

Maria: Kinji made a Linker specifically for Jin to use that will allow Jin to be able to fight in his Symphogear armour for a short amount of time.

Genjuro: Why was I not informed of this?

Chris: We DID tell you, Old man! -Chris would walk into the training room with an irritated look on her face as she looked up at Genjuro with her arms crossed- We sent you a messaged 2 nights ago and you did not even reply to us!

Genjuro: I did not receive any message!

Chris: Check your damn cell phone, you redhead gorilla!

Genjuro: Hmm.. -Ogawa entered the training room and gave Genjuro his phone. The tall man would turn on his phone and saw that he received a message from Chris, regarding a new Linker- ...Oh...

Chris: -She sighed as she face palmed- I bet you were watching your goddamn Bruce Lee movies while drinking your beers again..

Genjuro: Yes I was.

Chris: AT LEAST PRETEND THAT YOU WERE ASLEEP OR SOMETHING!

Genjuro: As if I would lie to my subordinates!

Jin: -He deactivated his gear as he chuckled over their conversation- Tsubasa, I may not be the leader but would you help me with something? Kanade too.

Tsubasa: Hmm?

Kanade: Yeah?

Jin: Considering Soran's injury, I don't want to cause a commotion in the base here with both Hibiki and Miku, considering the two, I can assume that they will argue and possibly fight because of Soran's injury. Can you both try and prevent that from happening?

Kanade: Miku, huh?

Tsubasa: It's gonna be a bit complicated as Kohinata is extremely attached to Tatebayashi and Tachibana, she'd want to see the two whenever she gets a chance.

Kanade: And now that she's working here, she can come over to the base whenever she wants too.

Chris: It was a lot more easier to keep things a secret from Miku when she wasn't part of S.O.N.G. Cus she was considered an outsider back then but now...

Jin: Yes, I am aware of how hard the task is but I can't ask Kinji or even Kiri-chan or Shirabe. Shirabe doesn't like lying to Miku and Kiri-chan is a bad liar. I don't want to stack up too much for Kinji as well and Chris is helping Kinji with his work so I can't ask her.

Tsubasa: Aozora-kun?

Maria: No offence Tsubasa but your boyfriend may irritate Miku instead of distracting her.

Tsubasa: I guess that's a point..

Kanade: Ayumu?

Jin: Research with Carol and Elfnein, it's a non-non for them so I can only ask you both.

Kanade: Serena?

Maria: Nope! Never ask Serena to do a complex task like this, she won't be able to do it properly.

Kanade: Good point but if Serena were to go head to head against Miku, I'm pretty sure Serena would win.

Maria: What makes you say that?

Kanade: Serena had a reputation in the Spiritual Realm, she was called the "Angel of Death" before, she was one of the most powerful Symphogear users in the Spiritual Realm.

Maria: Then why is she so laid back and weak here?

Kanade: Could be a sign of change?

Jin: Or she's just doing it on purpose so that she won't get that many jobs..

Maria: That girl.. A-Anyway! Let's not ask her!

Kanade: I'm fine by it. Tsubasa?

Tsubasa: If Kanade is doing it then I'll help too.

Kanade: All right cool, OH WAIT! I TOTALLY FORGOT!

Everyone else: Hmm?

Kanade: Why don't you ask Haruka-kun? His dark magic powers could trick Miku, right?

Jin:...

Genjuro: I'm sorry to break it to you all but Haruka had resigned from working with both S.O.N.G and the Order Patch.

Kanade: What?!

Maria: Huh?!

Chris: Well that's news to me..

Tsubasa: Why did he leave?

Genjuro: He didn't say why and he won't tell me why as well, he just wanted to leave.

Tsubasa: He was slowly moving away from everyone after he broke up with Akatsuki.

Kanade: Yeah, it's like he just joined us because of her and now that they broke up, he just quit because of that.

Tsubasa: That could be a possibility.

Jin: I-I'm sorry but can we not talk about this? I don't feel comfortable talking about Haruka and Kiri-chan's former relationship together, I find it quite rude..

Maria: He's right.

Kanade: S-Sorry..

Tsubasa: Apologies..

Jin: Maria, let's go. -Jin would then deactivate his Symphogear as Maria did the same- We'll be heading out now, we have plans. Please take care of Hibiki and Soran for us, it'll mean a lot to us.

Tsubasa: Will do.

Kanade: You can count on us!

-Maria and Jin would then leave the training room together as they exited the base while the others went back to what they were doing before. As Jin and Maria went out together, the two would head into the city together as the song "Pure Pure Heart" could be heard in the background as it was being played by a group of girls from an old Anime series on the large Screen on the buildings-

"There's tons of thoughts in my head

I'm sort of afraid they might spill out

But I'll just plug it up with headphones~

(Don't stop the music!)

I'll say that I want the things I want

I'll say I want to do the things I want to do

But there are also words I cannot say

(Can't stop my heartbeat!)

Suddenly! A chance arrives

We happen to take the same way home

Wow! The balloon in my heart blows up

My feet suddenly feel light

And they float on the air

Fly away! To where you are

This pure pure heart of mine

I'll have no fear if you will accept it

But when these feelings passed through the atmosphere

You had disappeared from the other side of the street

Oh well, I Don't mind

You know, an honest song

With words of love mounted inside is the best way

I'll casually hum it as I walk along

(Don't stop the music!)

A melody sweeter than cotton candy

And a rhythm hotter than fireworks

After all, I can just say I like the songs I like

(Can't stop my heartbeat!)

Surprise attack! A problem arrives

Maybe you heard what I was humming

No! For the first time, our eyes meet

I'm happy, but embarrassed

I'm about to run away... what'll I do?!

Run away! On the wayside

Is my trembling, pure pure heart

Go on and on into the top of the clear sky

They're being born, the feelings of the altocumulus clouds

I want to chase after you, but the light is red

Oh well, I don't mind

Ah, turn up the volume

Hey, I'll search for that heart throbbing feeling

I get the feeling that we'll meet

Here again many times

Fly away! To where you are

This pure pure heart of mine

I'll have no fear if you will accept it

But when these feelings passed through the atmosphere

You had disappeared from the other side of the street

Oh well, I Don't mind"

Jin: Thanks for taking your time to follow me out, I really appreciate the help~

Maria: Oh not at all. If there's anything you need, I'll do whatever I can to help.

-The two were walking down the busy streets together and were catching eyes from the people walking by as many were staring at the two, thinking of how beautiful the two are together as both Jin and Maria attracted a lot of attention to themselves without realising as they were chatting happily-

Maria: A gift for Shirabe, huh? What is it for again?

Jin: A late birthday present and something to celebrate that we've been together for 5 months at least~

Maria: 5 months?

Jin: I'm including last year's time together as well.

Maria: Ah okay, I guess that makes sense, although I'm not quite sure what she likes.

Jin: We can just walk around to see what is there to get, then I'll get something for Kiri-chan too, wouldn't want her to feel left out after all~

Maria: -She chuckled softly as she walked beside Jin as the two entered a mall together- You sure spoil those two a lot, now you're just making me jealous~

Jin: I can buy something for you too if you want~

Maria: Wha-?! I-I was just joking, don't take me seriously, sheesh!

Jin: Hehe~

-Back in Jin's apartment, in the shower room, both Kirika and Shirabe were taking a shower together. Kirika was in the bathtub while Shirabe was washing her hair with the conditioner in front of her-

Kirika: I didn't think you'd get that jealous of Jin-Nii-chan going out with Maria desu.

Shirabe: Huh? -She would turn and look over to Kirika with an irritated look on her face as Shirabe had blushed a little- Jealous? Kiri-chan, I am not jealous, you're just making things up.

Kirika: D-Desu...But you totally are..

Shirabe: I am not jealous of him going out with his ex-girlfriend!

Kirika: You won't even say her name right now desu..

Shirabe: What? I'm not wrong here! She IS his ex after all!

Kirika: W-Why are you getting all worked up over a date desu? It's not like they'll do anything bad desu.

Shirabe: Kiri-chan! -She stood up with an angry look on her face as she gave Kirika a cold stare which frightened the young blonde girl- I would really appreciate it if you would just stop talking about the two of them right now.

Kirika: DEAAATTH! I-I-i'm sorry desu...I-i'll stop desu..

Shirabe: Hmph! -She humphed as she sat back down on the short stool and continued to wash her body and hair as Kirika watched Shirabe and thought to herself quietly-

Kirika: "Jin-Nii-chan, please come back soon, Shirabe is really scary when she's angry desu...I-I'm not sure when will she burst in flames like Chris-senpai.." -Kirika thought to herself as she stuffed her head in the water of the bathtub and watched Shirabe quietly, hoping that Shirabe would lighten up-

-Hours passed as Maria and Jin were heading back to Jin's apartment together. As the two arrived to the apartment, Jin would open the door as he and Maria would then notice Shirabe was standing at the entrance of the apartment as she had her arms crossed and was glaring at both Jin and Maria-

Jin: S-Shirabe...-San..?

Maria: Shirabe, I didn't teach you to greet your guests like that!

Shirabe: Humph! Stupid Nii-san! Dummy! Baldy! Playboy! Dirty dark prince! You tree! -She scolded and yelled at Jin as she walked away and went inside her room as she would then slam the door to her room-

Jin: W-What just happened..?

Maria: Pfft! "Playboy, Dirty dark prince" and "tree". -Maria repeated Shirabe's insults about Jin as she would put her hand on her mouth to make sure she wouldn't laugh out loud as she was holding in her laugh.

Jin: Oh shush! She was also mad at you too, you know?

Maria: Yeah but her insults to you were just adorable~

Jin: Humph! Kiri-chan, what happened to her? -Kirika would peek out from the corner and take a step out as she walked over to Jin and Maria as Kirika would whisper to them-

Kirika: Desu...Apparently she found out that you were going out with Maria today desu..

Jin: Wha-?! How did she know? Most importantly! How come you know?!

Kirika: I asked Serena desu and I just assumed that you two were out and I told Shirabe about it and you came back home with Maria so the assumption was true desu..

Jin: Oh, my God..

Maria: Ugh..Kirika! This was meant to be a surprise!

Kirika: I didn't know desu! You should have told me beforehand desu!

Maria: It wouldn't be a surprise if we told you, now would it?!

Kirika: Oh, good point desu! But still! She was really angry throughout the day desu..

Maria: Why would she get angry anyway?

Kirika: Just the thought of you two being together got her really irritated desu, since she knows that you two once dated before..

Maria: Oh...She thinks that you were cheating on her for me..

Jin: Is that right?

Maria: What are you going to do, Jin?

Jin: I'll talk to her. Kiri-chan, this is for you, sweetie. -He said as he passed Kirika a bag of new clothes and snacks for her as Kirika smiled happily and hugged Jin tightly as she jumped in joy and blushed as she cheerfully smiled and went through her new clothes as she went to try them on in her room as Maria followed Kirika. Jin would then stand in front of Shirabe's room and knock on her door lightly- S-Shirabe? It's me, Jin... Can I come in?

Shirabe: No! Go away!

Jin: P-Please...?

Shirabe: I said: "No"!

Jin: I have Taiyaki for you~

Shirabe: Humph!

Jin: I guess I can't bribe her with food, she's not Chris, Hibiki and Kirika.. -He said to himself as he would then sigh and slap both of his cheeks to clear his mind as he would then slowly open the door as he entered Shirabe's room to see that she was sitting up on her bed with her back on the wall and was hugging her pillow tightly as she was sniffling and crying softly as Jin closed the door behind him and felt bad as soon as he saw her tear up- S-Shirabe?

Shirabe: I-I told you not to come in, s-stupid...

Jin: It really hurts me to see you like this..

Shirabe: Well...Who's f-fault is that anyway...?

Jin: Mine.. I-I'm really sorry for not telling you that I went out with Maria today but we didn't do anything but met up at the base and went out shopping, that's it.

Shirabe: How can I trust you?

Jin: Because I got this for you.. -He pulled out two large bags as one of them was filled with new clothes and accessories for Shirabe. Shirabe was a little intrigued by the sight but she would pout and look away from Jin as she held onto her pillow more tightly.-

Shirabe: T-These won't work on me! -She then felt Jin holding onto one of her hands as she felt him slipping something into her middle finger on her right hand. She would slowly shift her eyes to see what was on her finger, her eyes widened as she gasped as she let go of her pillow and raised her right hand and saw that there was a silver ring on her finger that her name on it, she would then look at Jin with a surprised look as she was completely speechless-

Jin: I got you these as a thank you for being with me for a long time and for always helping me out whenever I needed help the most, it's also to celebrate your birthday, since I missed your birthday a few months ago and to celebrate our 6 months together, I'm counting few months back before you were brought back to life too, since we were together before then as well~

Shirabe:... -She began to tear up as she held onto her right hand with her left hand as she tears flowed down her cheeks as she looked down, she'd then look at Jin and smiled at him sweetly and happily as she hugged him tightly in her arms- I-I'm sorry for getting worked up over such nonsense..I should've trusted you more but I doubted you, thinking that you'd cheat me behind my back..I-I'm so sorry, Nii-san..

Jin: No, I'm the one who should be apologising for not telling you what I had planned, besides, I asked Maria because she knows you longer than I do, so I needed her opinion on what to buy for you and you have the right to have doubts about me, I did something without telling you after all.

Shirabe: Nii-san...I love...-No... -She would sit in front of Jin as she held both of his hand as she would then put one of his hands on her cheek and held onto the other with her free hand and smiled at him sweetly as she was still tearing up- I love you so much, Jin..

-Jin's eyes widened from the surprised of her calling him by his name, he would then smile at her passionately and placed his forehead on hers as he lightly kissed her nose and the two chuckled happily. Outside of the room, Maria and Kirika were both listening to the two as they would both smile at each other-

Kirika: Everything is back to normal desu.

Maria: Good job, Jin. You've really grown up now haven't you? -She quietly said to herself as she would then take out her phone and send a text message to Jin as she would then take her leave as Kirika walked her out of the apartment-

"Jin, I'm taking my leave right now, I'm sorry that I couldn't stay with you guys for long but I did my part in building your relationship with Shirabe. Seeing how much you've grown and matured in such a short period of time, it almost made me forget that you were my ex-boyfriend, haha! But anyway, take care of yourself and Shirabe(Kirika too.). Oh and I couldn't help myself with the Taiyaki so I took one to eat on the way back~." - Maria

Originally, the ending was supposed to be a scene where Maria hangs out with Jin, Shirabe and Kirika for the whole day and while Shirabe and Kirika were inside their rooms, trying out their new clothes, Maria and Jin would watch the stars from the balcony in a romantic way and Maria would make her last and final move on Jin by kissing him on the cheek and then declaring that she won't be in love with him anymore, no matter what but will still help him as his best friend.
