Here's chapter 61. This chapter focuses on characters from Sonic and Aggretsuko.
Finally Sonic and the others have reached the apartment where most of them were staying. They did the same procedure as when they left, but in reverse. Before leaving the home of the prime minister, they put on their costumes again. Which Knuckles and Shadow were still not happy about. The four families were divided among the 4 cars, sitting in the same seats. The return journey took the same amount of time as the outward journey. Now that they were in the apartment having been joined by the same group of people, they were given the costumes. Before they left, they reminded them of a proposal the Prime Minister made to them before they left their home, that if they wanted to have a place where they could all live, it would be a place where the crowds wouldn't bother them during their time in this dimension. After the inhabitants of Mobius responded that they would think about it, the four finally left.
Once they were alone, everyone began to wonder how the other people involved with them, either directly or indirectly, would take the press conference. Since the idea of keeping your whereabouts secret. At least during the press conference they didn't reveal to be in contact with some people they meet. He didn't want to give Retsuko, Fenneko, Haida, Ookami, Washimi, Gori, Nick, Judy, Jack, Finnick, and the children direct trouble. What they spent the weekend with was enough. They only hoped that the following days would have been calm, apart from the brief meetings they had with them for important things, which fortunately were not every day. Also, something they expected, but had not happened at the moment, was that none of them called them through the communicators after seeing the press conference, although they suspected that it was so as not to reveal himself in front of the prime minister and to know who else was involved in this.
Now that one thing for the day was settled for the time being, they still had the other concern that Eggman might be up to, since his base was destroyed, they couldn't locate him, not even a trace of where Decoe, Bocoe and Bokkun went in the escape capsule. According to Shadow and Rouge, after the mission, the agents that accompanied them to the mission are still in the country, but they are in another city trying to investigate their whereabouts, even as everyone knew the agency was still trying to find them. They hadn't even managed to find the sign of the chaos emeralds that were in their possession. Not even with the master emerald could they detect them. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth, but that couldn't be what happened, it wasn't up to Eggman to leave without fulfilling his objectives, much less if he lacked three chaos emeralds and the master emerald to achieve it. They knew that sooner or later he would show up, but when would he? It was the question that did not make them be at peace.
Although that was not the only concern they had. Since they found out what was happening with the silhouettes shown in the master emerald, they wondered what else could be shown in the coming days. Apparently nothing had turned up that day, since they hadn't been called to let them know, or if it had turned up, maybe they hadn't called, since they wouldn't know they had already returned to the apartment. With that in mind they wondered what their other friends and family were doing now. From what little they knew the time zone on their planet was the same as there, so they must still be there in the afternoon. Perhaps everyone was going about their daily chores at the time, while the children should be coming home from school. They are also worried about Angel Island. Still floating on the water, instead of floating in the air to be free from any possible attack from any land population. At least the same villains that inhabited that island were at least always defeated by the members of the Knuckles' family that were still there.
As they thought about that, the children also had their concerns. Although they had already been making sure their friends in this dimension were safe, they were still worried that Eggman might do something to his friends. Since unlike themselves or their other friends in Mobius; Koka, Hana, Izumi, Daisuke, Nicole, and Jerry had no abilities that could help them protect themselves. And also all of them were younger than them, with the exception of Jewel, of which they were a little older than her. And since their parents and other relatives were ordinary people, they wouldnt be able to defend them in case of another attack. Unless they were present themselves. Perhaps they could be watching them without their other relatives noticing. With the years they've had facing Eggman, they know how to hide very well despite their young age. Although it remains to be seen if their parents would approve of them doing what they have in mind.
...
Meanwhile in another part of the city, it was already dark. Retsuko, Fenneko, and Ookami were on their way home. Komiya, Tsunoda, Manumaru and Resasuke; since everyone went to look for their children to take them home, although in the case of Retsuko because she did go to her own home. The meerkat, the gazelle and the pallas cat didnt mention anything about the other three having gone to Washimi's office. They may not have found out, because if they had, someone would have mentioned it. While the male red panda was in his world so he probably didn't hear it and if he heard it he may have forgotten it. Regardless, the ride home was smooth. Both from work to the train station, and from there they were almost at their destination. Retsuko hoped that as her mother and her grandmother had said that when she got back from work, Haida would feel better after last night. She expected her to be like this.
Once they reached the house, Retsuko opened the door and they all entered. At the moment the children were playing with Haida, while Retsuko's mother and grandmother were in the kitchen preparing dinner. When the children saw their parents arrive home, they went to greet them. This time they were more excited, because as the next day was the weekend they could spend the day with them, and thus not be worried about being separated from them for the weekend. Sure, they could stay home all day and relax by playing games, watching TV, or any other activity you like to do that doesn't involve leaving the house. Things they commonly did on rainy days or when it was cold weather.
While the other children were with their parents, Retsuko carried her son Koka in her arms and walked over to her husband.
"And how do you feel now, Haida?" asked the red panda.
"Much better to tell the truth. It's true what your mother and grandmother said about the remedy "replied the hyena.
"I'm glad to hear that. I was worried about you, all day."
"So do I, for you. With everything that's been going on."
"What worries me is that you are going to commit a situation identical to yesterday" said Fenneko, entering the conversation without being invited, she didn't say the word stupid because of the presence of the children.
"Oh come on Fenneko, I wasn't at my best," Haida said.
"I agree, you were at your worst. What's more, I have it recorded" said the fennec fox showing her recording on her phone.
Seeing that made Haida blush with embarrassment. He was not surprised that Fenneko had recorded it anyway. He had known her for several years and knew that she would not miss an opportunity like this.
"Anyway, I don't think it will happen again."
"Of course not, but you will surely make another mistake like that in the future. Anyway I'm glad you feel better now" she said this last in a quite sincere way that showed in her voice.
"Fenneko…" Retsuko and Haida said at the same time.
"Well, it's getting late, it's time to go home. If possible, see you tomorrow" said the fennec fox.
"Oh yeah. See you tomorrow" said Retsuko.
Haida just nodded.
After that the others also said goodbye and went home with their children.
Koka who had heard his "aunt" Fenneko's conversation with his father tried to hide his laughter. He had already seen similar discussions in the past that seemed comical to him. He didn't know why, but there was something about them when they argued that he seemed to be watching a cartoon.
After a while they continued with their previous conversation. Haida told them about how his day went, he told her that shortly after noon, after obtaining the home remedy, the pain went away. Retsuko was glad of that. He also told her that Tadano called him on the phone. They had agreed to meet on Sunday. Retsuko was glad to hear that. She was even glad to see Haida and Tadano over the years, despite what she learned Haida didn't like Tadano at first just because he dated her for a short time. On the other hand, Retsuko talked to him about how the day at work went and mentioned how many of their co-workers were worried about him, even the new ones and also Washimi and Gori. Haida felt good to see that they really cared about his health. Throughout the conversation they avoided mentioning the press conference, just so as not to attract the attention of the other two red pandas who were in the kitchen, although both had a suspicion that the other had seen it on television.
It was at that moment that Retsuko's mother and grandmother came out of the kitchen to say that dinner was ready. Seeing that the other children were no longer there, they realized that they had already left with their parents. In the end, it was common for Fridays to come faster, although the reason for this to happen was still not explained, since even before the events of the previous weekend, things were already like that. Anyway, they asked the three present to go to the kitchen for dinner. They all nodded and went to their respective chairs. After praying for a few minutes, finally the 5 began to eat. At first they all dined in silence. Haida still hadn't told Retsuko what her mother had planned. He still expected the inevitable when she found out about it.
Although during dinner they didn't talk about that or anything related to the press conference, instead they talked about the preparations that everyone would make for the next day for the arrival of Retsuko's father. Almost everything had already been planned, he would be home at noon. So they would have enough time to prepare everything in the morning. Retsuko and Koka were excited to see their father and grandfather respectively. Haida realized that it wouldn't be fair to tell Retsuko what would happen tonight since she seemed so happy and he didn't want to kill her happiness. He would tell her later, but before their other relatives came. After they finished dinner, they went into the living room for a bit and watched a family movie, albeit one that was appropriate for Koka's age. Since it was Friday, everyone could go to sleep a little later.
And so ended another day in the city of Tokyo. Everything was quite quiet in the city and its limits, but what no one knew was that in an unknown place, Eggman was doing the final procedures for his next attack.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
