Chapter 20: The Rematch For The Red Stone (Part 1)
"So… this is the game room." I said as I was now inside the game room.
Yeah, I had to find something to do so that I wouldn't have to be bored the whole entire time. As much as I would love to go outside and try to get involved in something fun, I prefer to play some games that are inside here.
It wasn't crowded here as there were just a few people in here. I may know some games, but I just want to see if I could give any game a test run here in this new world.
But I wonder if Maguro, Lidelle, and Sig are gaming geeks. Although I haven't heard about them playing games as much as I do.
The only game I knew was PAC-MAN, and that was the first game that I have played when I was a kid. And somehow, I still remember how to play. The other games I play… I forgot some of them. No… all of them. It just slipped out since I'm more used to reading rather than having to game all the time.
I wonder where I should start first though. There's a lot of games in this area. I'm not really familiar with most of them.
…
...
…
Oh well. I'm just gonna go and see what there is to play.
I went on ahead to see what kinds of games are there to play with. They have a lot of racing games, skeeball, basketball. I then saw something that I mentioned earlier when I said that the first game I ever played was Pac-Man when I was little.
And it was literally new. And I could see Maguro playing on it too.
The World's Largest Pac-Man Game?! I didn't know it even existed in this world! Even with two players?! I must have been so late seeing this! And no wonder how people aren't playing it except for Maguro.
…
…
…
Speaking of Maguro… is he really into these types of stuff?
"Geez… what a disappointment." I heard Maguro say, getting a game over screen.
"It wasn't actually that bad." I said to him as I walked towards him.
"Kaze? You came?"
"Yes. I was trying to find something to do for a little while. Just to make things fun for me."
"Fair enough. I would love to have fun for myself too, especially when I play games all the time."
"You play games too?"
"That's just what I love to do. It has always been a hobby of mine ever since I was young. I played lots of games back in the day. They were totally amazing in my end. Single-Player, Co-op, everything."
"Was Pac-Man your thing?"
"Definitely. It may be quite difficult, although I may be improving, but it is still fun at the same time. Every time when I play this game with Ringo, she would not make any excuses and try to focus, but she would rage quit some of the time. There's no difficulty in this game, though. It would take some effort to reach new high scores in this game, but the levels get harder and harder going forward."
"True. I've heard about this game back in my world too."
"R-Really?!" Maguro asked, shocked at what I just said to him.
"In fact, this was the first game I ever played when I was a kid. I don't play games often but this used to be my favorite out of all the video games that I knew growing up."
"I see. As for me, I would love to play this often at home now that I think about it. I'm just trying to have a huge upsurge through the rankings but it'd be a lot harder to do so because every day, this game room would have to reset the rankings and I have to work my way up towards the top. So it would be a challenge."
"There's also rankings in this?"
"Yup. Most people duke it out to see who can perform the best."
"But do they do this in two players as well?" I asked him.
"Yup. I get high scores doing that as well. I was kinda surprised on the inside. But not only the player who wins can receive the high score. The player who lost also receives the high score. Sometimes, I would play with random people to see who would play for keeps but normally, Ringo would try it out with me. It will get intense for a little while until I start to take advantage and Ringo would start to lose her confidence because of problems with harder levels every time we move on. But she'll probably get the hang of it someday."
"I see. I might as well have to try to make her way better than you someday. See if she can try to make it way more competitive as it should be."
"Well, good golly. It would be a huge turnaround for her. I bet she might be a pro just like me with you helping her."
"True."
"Speaking of which, did you have these types of stuff back in your world?"
…
…
"To be honest, no. I didn't get a chance to see one ever since I was just focusing on schoolwork and reading. I never got a notification on it either."
"Wow. That's a shocker."
"I know right. It's literally my first time seeing stuff like this. Even my mom never notified me. Like… at all. She would be focused on work."
"You have a dad as well?"
"I do. He just… doesn't come home often." I said with a sweatdrop.
"Oh… ok." Maguro said. "A-Anywho… do you wish to challenge me in this game, Ms. Kaze?"
"Why, sure. I'm game. It's not like I'm taking no for an answer." I said.
"Alright. You're on then." Maguro said as he put both of his coins in for us to play.
So yeah, this is literally my first time playing a PAC-MAN game that is so big. It's like I'm in a special arcade or something. Let's just hope that I would set records in this game. At least… if I know what I'm doing.
*30 MINUTES LATER*
"Geez, you are really good at this game. I can tell." Maguro said, looking at my massive score.
We already played three rounds of this game. Me, already starting to win three straight games. The first game got intense as we both were trying to see who would have the highest score until Maguro collapsed at level 5, leaving me with the win on that one. And then, the other two were just me playing very strong. We're on the third round, by the way.
Now you guys can see why I have good knowledge of this game. Try to challenge me in the near future, and you will see what I'm talking about.
"Thank you. I've been telling you that I have played this game when I was a kid. There's no point in telling a falsehood."
"I gotcha. Sometimes I would lose, but you were a really good matchup for a gaming geek like me."
"True. I would literally have to find one of these when I get back home, but I enjoyed playing it here."
"Wow, Kaze. You are really good at these types of stuff…"
"Crap!" I shouted as I got distracted by someone talking behind me, leading me to a game over.
"L-Lidelle! You distracted me!" I shouted, a little shocked at what Lidelle just did to me. Sig, on the other hand, was with her as well. Although I don't blame him.
"O-Oh! Did I… make you lose?" Lidelle asked, a little worried at what I just said to her.
"N-No. You didn't. I won. It's just… you caught me off-guard while I was trying to aim for some bonus points."
"Oh… I'm sorry."
"But you don't need to sweat it. I can forgive you for what you just did."
"Oh… Ok. Thank you."
"And thank you too. I played this when I was a kid. I have a good sense of knowledge nowadays."
"I also played this game too. Usually with Ringo. But I play with random guys to see if they are up for the challenge."
"Are there any bugs in that game?" Sig asked.
"What a bug-a-holic. No, Sig. There aren't any bugs in this game. Sorry." I said with a facepalm.
"If they were to add bugs, then I guess we would've let you play it. If you know how to play, of course." Maguro said.
"No worries. I'm not gonna try and make an excuse about it." Sig said.
"There's no need to feel down, Sig. Maybe we can try to find some games that are related another time." Lidelle said.
"So did you guys use up all of your coins?" Maguro asked.
"Yes. We used them to play skee ball, fishing and whack-a-mole." Lidelle said.
"I liked whack-a-mole better." Sig said.
"Oh… that sounds kinda nice." I said. "I may not be familiar with any other games that are new, but maybe I'll get the chance to do so, someday."
"Well, it'll take practice. Even if you may not know it. But I'm surprised you had fun." Maguro said.
"Well I did have fun. I can't be bored, right? I just… needed this time to see what games are there to play. I thought about wanting to see what Raffina was playing but I decided I wanted to go to the arcade and play some games. Just to keep my body moving."
"Alright. As long as you are okay with it."
"So what is there to do now?" Lidelle asked.
…
…
…
"Well… do you wish to go outside? It looks like our only option." I asked as I didn't know what else I could think of.
"Umm… I-I guess I can. Do you wanna go, Sig?" Lidelle asked.
"Sure. I'm free."
"There you guys are!" We then heard a familiar voice who came running towards us.
"Amitie? You look like you are out of breath." Lidelle said, a little concerned.
"I was trying to find you guys. I was trying to see where you guys are but I couldn't find you." Amitie said.
"Well… you're in luck now." Sig said.
"So did you use all of your coins?" Maguro asked.
"Yup. I used up all of it playing skeeball. It was very fun playing it." Amitie said.
"That's nice. I was gonna plan out playing that but me and Kaze were too busy playing this Pac-Man game."
Maguro said.
"So who won?"
"Me. We played all three rounds and I won all of them." I said.
"Get really real, Kaze! You won all of them?!" She shouted with pure excitement.
"She does know how to play of course." Maguro said. "I couldn't even match her talent during our duel together. If Ringo was playing this, the result would've been the same."
"It was still a lot of fun though. I've been playing this since I was a little kid, and know I still have knowledge of this game." I said.
"That's totally awesome. Phew. I'm getting tired from having so much fun playing skeeball."
"We were just planning on going outside anyway." Sig said.
"Oh. I also want to see how Raffina is coming along. As well as Ringo and Arle. Hopefully, they should be done playing the events that are outside."
"I agree. A few people should be cleared up anyway, so let's try to see what we can come up with." I said.
"Sure thing." Maguro said.
"Let's go!" Amitie said.
Just moments after we got everything taken care of in the game room, we were now finding the rest of the gang to see what they are up to at this time. It feels like everyone is having so much fun here at this beach party.
And for me, I've had a lot of fun. Although I didn't do much around here but playing Pac-Man. Maybe I can do one finishing touch, perhaps? I'll see.
"Hey, Kaze. Do you know what time it is?" Lidelle asked me.
"The time? It's… 7:12." I said as I was checking my phone.
"Oh… because I'm starting to get a little tired." Lidelle said, rubbing her eyes.
"You're tired, huh? Well… we're almost done for the day. So once we find everybody, you can sleep in the train and we'll wake you up once we arrive home, okay?" I asked.
"O-Ok. I'll try to shake it off." Lidelle said.
"You still had fun?"
"Yes. I would go outside to have fun but since Maguro had me inside the game room, it was a lot more fun. Especially when I'm playing with Sig."
"Huh. That's what I like to hear." I said with a smile.
"But… it would be so emotional to see you leave." Lidelle said, a little embarrassed.
…
…
…
"I know… but it's not like It's gonna be the last time we will see each other, Lidelle. I may come back someday. I'll just have to think about it." I said, trying to take it seriously.
"Oh… well I guess it was nice seeing you here. In this world." Lidelle said.
"Yeah. It was nice seeing you too." I said.
"Hey! Girls! You guys are far behind!" I heard Amitie yell from inches away from us.
"Gah! They must be calling us. C'mon, Lidelle. We gotta catch up." I said as I started to move faster.
"Ok. W-Wait for me!" Lidelle as she tried to keep pace with me.
But yeah, like I said I'm going to miss everyone. I know I have been saying this over billions of times, but everyone likes me as a whole. Due to me being new here in Primp. And going to school learning magic. And not to mention, my personality is calm, kind, and laid-back. I wouldn't be that scary towards everyone. Because if I did, then I would've put myself in a bad situation. And the next thing I would see is multiple people wrecking me playing Puyo due to the way I act towards them. And my life would come into jeopardy. I wouldn't want that type of punishment. My mother could've been really upset for the actions that I took. And I really don't want to shatter that good chemistry that I have with my mother. So that is how my personality is going to be moving forward.
"Sorry about that. Lidelle wanted me to check the time because she feels tired." I said as we all caught up with the group.
"Oh? Feeling Tired, Lidelle? I can lend you something to eat to wake you up." Maguro offered.
"N-No… but thank you." Lidelle said.
"So you're willing to just shake it off?" Sig asked.
"Yes. I'm just wanting to keep my body moving. Probably until the day is done."
"Well, did you really want to leave, Lidelle?" Amitie asked.
"No no. It's Ok. I'm fine with what you guys are wanting to do. It's just… I'm just trying to keep my body moving until we get on the train just for me to sleep the long ride home."
"Oh… well we were almost done anyway so why don't we try to go look for Raffina and see if she's done? Unless she is still playing more games or finding the rest of the gang."
"Well I remember Raffina going with Witch during this party, so they might be just having their own fun together although they don't interact much." I said. "They should be at this rate."
"You do have a point."
"I wonder what they were playing at this beach party." Sig said.
"To be honest, I have no idea. Well, Raffina, to be a little smart, is known for having so much strength, right? I'm thinking she might have played in that tug-of-war game over there." Maguro said, pointing to where the people were playing tug-of-war.
"Uhh… I think it's questionable." I said.
"Questionable? What's questionable about it?" I then heard a voice behind me in which I did not expect to be here.
And it was the second time that she just spawned right before my own eyes. Drinking her vanilla milkshake.
"Floré? Umm… What's questionable about it is that I may not be so sure if my friend has played that tug-of-war game over there since she has strength to do so."
"Oh… well I wouldn't want to try that one out anyway." Floré said.
"I wouldn't want to, either. It would be too much for my body." I said, a little nervous.
"Uh… hey, Kaze? Do you know this girl?" Amitie asked.
"Yes. We have met at a store." I said.
"Well, sorry to ruin your little… enjoyment together. My name is Floré. I'm the Student Council President in the Light Academy."
"Wow. So I'm thinking Ciel works with you." Amitie said.
"Geez, how does everyone know Ciel?!" Floré shouted, a little shocked.
"Not everyone knows her. I just got a word from her that she works at a museum part-time in Primp Town."
I said.
"Of course she likes reading. Well, I guess if that makes her satisfied, then I'm A-Ok with it. I'm just really surprised that not only you know Ciel, but others as well."
"Speaking of knowing Ciel, I think this might be the last time I'm seeing her. Because tomorrow I'm leaving this world."
"Oh? You travel in dimensions?" Floré asked, confusingly.
"Yes. I do now. I've been in Primp Town for a couple of weeks so I must return home."
"I see. But how are you going to do that? Don't you have bus tickets?"
"Yeah. How are you gonna get back, Kaze?" Amitie asked.
"Don't worry. My mom has it covered. She is going to send me bus tickets in the morning so I don't have to worry about getting picked up by her.
"I see. Wait… Is it only you?!" Floré asked.
"Yup. My mother wasn't planning on coming. She doesn't know much about magic."
"Huh. I kinda do get the feeling that you have no problems with taking care of yourself. It must've felt like
all of us on our adventure or whatever. But all of that aside for now. What were you guys planning on doing if I may ask?"
"Well we were trying to find the rest of our friends and…"
*BIG SPLASH*
We heard some huge splashing coming from the water. And it was enormous too. What caused the splashing were two giant robots that were coming out of the water and inside the area. We then heard some people screaming and moving back as things were starting to get cataclysmic now.
"What are those robots?!" Amitie asked, a little worried.
"I have no idea. I'm feeling like we're in a bad ending already." Maguro said.
"Those damn idiots! Making me drop my drink! They have no respect for a president like me!" Floré shouted with rage.
"Wait, Floré! Because I think something tells me that something bad is going to happen!" I said as I held her back.
"Ahhhh Hahahahahaha!" I then heard a woman's dramatic laugh. I don't know why it sounds like that for some reason.
Then the voice appeared, showing a lady with light-purple skin and light purple hair, but the only difference is that her eyes were red. Her witch costume is a black witch hat decorated with a light-purple rose with golden thorns. She has black cloth that is held on her neck that is held with a golden moon pin that is also decorated with a red gem in the middle. She also has a black dress that is partially held with a belt. She also wore a purple cape that is totally ragged for some reason, black pants with some cross decorations, and finally, these black high heels with cuffs. Not to mention, she is floating in the air too.
She also has a spear in her hand in which something tells me that something really worse is going to happen. But I think we are about to find out.
"Is she… a witch?" Amitie asked.
"I think she looks… new here." Lidelle said.
"Well, whoever she is, I would love to tell her to get her robots somewhere else." Floré said, in a threatening tone.
"Well… let's just see what she wants first. Or rather… Maybe she is looking for something that I am not giving anyone to." I whispered in a displeased look.
"Sorry to interrupt your little festival that you are having! I gotta admit, it was wrong of me to send the robots and spoil all the fun. BUT…" The woman said while holding her finger up.
But?
"If you guys would listen to me just this one time, then I won't inflict harm on every single one of you, just so that you can go back to whatever you were doing. But in order for you to do that, all you need to do is answer this one question for me, and there's gonna be no problem."
"Yeah, right! No way in hell we ain't gonna tell you not a goddamn soul about anything you desire to do! Not until you get your scraps of junk and your pretty 67-year-old face back underwater." I then heard one boy say that and a group of boys laughing. And that made the woman infuriated.
*PING*
"W-What the hell?! Gaaah!" I then saw him get wrapped around his stomach with some light purple glowing rope-like thing used by the woman using her staff. pulled him over to her side with an angry look on her face. She was definitely ready to kill him.
"Now you messed up. All of it!"
"Ok ok! Wait! I'll take everythi…"
"Nope! Too late! That was your only chance!" She shouted as she then twirled her spear with the guy that is still attached to the rope. And then…
"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" She threw him in the ocean at rapid speed.
Hopefully the sharks don't get him.
"She uses magic too?" Maguro whispered to me.
"I bet so… this is gonna be a real challenge." I whispered.
"Maybe… or she is just being serious." Floré whispered.
"I have a bad feeling something worse is about to happen." Amitie whispered.
"Me too." Lidelle whispered, a little worried.
"Don't worry. Just try to stay off her bad side and she'll leave you alone." I whispered to the two.
"I'll try… but it's just my prediction. For the least of it."
Amitie whispered.
"Anyone else want to join him?! Anyone else wants to mock my appearance?! I would be happy to do so at this rate!" The lady shouted, still mad about what the guy had just said to him.
…
…
…
"*Hard sigh* Now, then! If you want me to leave, then listen up!" She said as she was trying to pull out something from her pocket.
When she took something from out her pocket, what it looked like was a paper ball, but when she opened the paper up and showed it to everybody, it made me a little infuriated on what I'm looking at.
So she is on to me. That's fine. I'll give her the perfect answer if she is asking for it.
"K-Kaze… is that… you?" Floré asked, a little worried.
"She must be really looking for you, Kaze." Amitie said.
"I didn't think she was looking for you. Is that your… mom?" Maguro asked.
"No, that's not my mom. I'm pretty sure Satan and Ecolo might have recruited her." I said, still very mad.
"This girl! Has anyone seen her?!" She asked as everyone on the beach didn't know my identity.
"Hey, I think you should probably go up to her." One girl said to me.
"That's you in the picture, right? I think she wants your attention." One boy said to me.
"I guess there is no denying it now, Kaze." Floré said.
…
…
…
"Alright. I'll give it a shot." I said as I walked over towards the lady and moved past a bunch of people.
I wasn't ready to hear anything that this witch has to say, but if something that is nice for a change, then I will believe in her, but ruining all the fun by popping up so randomly is almost as if it was wasting our time just to go seeking out for me. And I'm not gonna buy that.
"Hey! I'm right here, Ma'am!" I shouted at the lady.
"Ahhhhh hahahahaha! So you must be this Kaze girl, Satan and that drooling blob, Ecolo told me about." The lady said.
"You know those two?" I asked her.
"Why yes… we all have teamed up together to retrieve back something that I think you might have in your possession. They were asking for my help anyway."
"What do you mean? What do you want me to give back? Oh. Wait. I don't care. I'm still not giving it up. Haven't you guys learned your lesson, already?" I asked.
"Well look who is defending herself? I must say, I may be so impressed. But, even though I would still credit you for sticking up for yourself like a true… "British" Girl that you are, I would kindly suggest that you hand the stone to me. You wouldn't want these people to waste their own time, would you?"
"No. But they would love to see you get out of here with your giant robots. Because they just ruined almost the entire party."
"Exactly!" I heard another girl say, agreeing with what I just said.
"Tch! What makes you think my robots have to do with all of this? I would rather have them destroy the entire beach then to just kill all of you insolent brats."
"Still, my decision is final. I'm not taking it back. So why don't go take your robots, go home, and never return?" I threateningly asked her.
"Hmph! So you still refuse to give it up?! AND ask me that disrespectfully?! Alright. That's fine by me. I'll have my robots check you out then."
"Floré! Catch this!" I yelled as I threw her the red legendary stone.
"Gah!" After I threw the stone, I was suddenly grabbed by one of the giant robots.
"Hey! What are you doing with her?!" I heard another girl ask the witch.
"Wait! One of the girls has it!" The witch said to the robots.
*Vrrrrrr*
The robot that grabbed me then freed me. I had to wipe all the dust that the robot had in its hand.
"One of you! Show yourself! Release that stone, or suffer from my torturing experience!"
"Oi! Miss Old Hag!" I heard Floré yell coming from above. "Looking for this?!" She then showed the witch the yellow stone.
"You dare call me an old hag?! Now I will truly send you to hell slowly! And take that stone with me!" The witch then used her glowing rope to wrap Floré around the stomach, causing her to not move around.
"Tch! You better let go of me! You purple-skinned simpleton!" Floré said, still being wrapped around by that rope.
"Ha! After what you called me! I know a place where I can put you to your tomb once I capture that stone. You'll soon become one of my…"
"Meteor!"
*BONK*
"Gah! Who the hell…"
"Yo! Old Hag! Have you ever seen another witch before?!" I then heard Witch say after using her meteor spell, hitting the other witch's head.
"You dare attack me?! The one and only "Arfoire"?! Now I will definitely put you out of your mis…"
*POW*
"Gah!"
"Not when the president is here, hag!" Floré shouted as she uppercutted the witch in the chin. I heard some people cheering on Floré due to what she just did to that witch.
Wait. Her name is… "Arfoire"?!
"That's it! You people are on my last nerve! Robots! Destroy every single weakling that stands before me!"
*Vrrrrrrr*
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
I heard bullets firing from above and I heard everyone screaming and running away from the area. Multiple people were trying to run as fast as they could with them tripping and falling over, but still trying to evacuate the area as soon as possible.
As for me, I was quickly trying to dodge the bullets raining down from above.
"Kaze! We have to go!" I then Arle shouted. Almost several feet from where I am.
"But why?! I can't leave the stone behind!" I shouted.
"Kaze!" I then heard Floré's voice behind me.
"Floré?"
"It's ok. I'll protect the stone for you." Floré said she placed a hand on my shoulder.
"But I really need it though. I heard there's another one discovered in my home. I could get more information about what's going on.
"Your home?"
"Yeah. So trust me. Would it be so kind if you could give me the stone, President?"
…
…
…
"Are you really sure you will be responsible for the stone?" Floré asked.
"I'm always responsible, Floré." I said.
…
…
…
"Ok. But make sure you take good care of it." Floré said as she gave the stone to me.
"Like if that's going to happen." I then heard Arfoire's voice behind me.
"You're still here?!" I shouted at her.
"You thought I forgot about you, eh? Stone!" Arfoire shouted as she freed her palm, gesturing us to hand over the stone.
"Never! Not to a crazy hag like you!" I shouted at her, knowing how important this red stone is to me.
"So it is decided. If you wish to not give me the stone in the next ten seconds, I will crush you both to ashes."
"Grrr…"
*GLOW*
"Huh?" I then heard a flash coming from my hand. I then freed the palm of my hand to see the yellow stone glowing.
"Wait… is it… glowing?"
"That's very odd." Floré said looking at the stone.
"Ah, what the hell. Maybe it needs more power than…"
*GLOW*
"GAH!"
I then saw a circle of light that's shining on Arfoire and is surrounding her personal space.
"What the hell? Why is there light around me? Don't tell me it's about to do something to me."
Me and Floré then looked at each other with smirks on our faces.
"I think you are about to find out, Arfoire. Or rather… "Arsnore"." I said.
"Oh look!" Floré said as she pointed at a giant Puyo but it looked like a bomb. She then pulled me back to avoid getting hit.
"Oh yeah. I don't want to get taken out by that thing."
I said.
"There's no running away from me now! You will give me what I need right now! I know what will help you… huh?" She then noticed the bomb in the sky that was approaching her.
"What the…"
*BOOM*
"GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The bomb exploded right in her face, sending her flying into the sky in which it was unexpectedly hard to see where she went.
…
…
…
"THAT SERVES YOU RIGHT, PURPLE WITCH!" Floré yelled.
"She's finally gone… but how did that stone glow?" I asked.
"I have no idea. I think it was from you balling your fists." Floré said.
"I believe so. And that stone created an ability. I wonder if that giant bomb-like Puyo was the ability."
"*sigh* Luckily we both have survived… but this beach has been a disaster." We're looking at the damages that the robots have dealt, destroying many different objects such as the chairs and the tables. Even the rope for the tug-of-war was destroyed.
"Well, there's gotta be at least someone to help fix up this beach."
"That's true. And hopefully, the people that just attended this beach should be just fine."
"But I still want to know why Satan and Ecolo have called out to her to steal the stone. I'm just glad that the stone is still here with me. One mistake would have cost my chance of discovering more information about the stone."
"Knowing that witch... or "Arfoire" if that's what her name is, I wonder if she is the mastermind behind the stone."
"According to what Satan and Ecolo have told me, I think there may be someone else who is looking for those stones but that person is unknown."
"So you don't know who is the mastermind behind that stone?"
"No. I'm not actually sure. This is the only dimension that I have travelled in so I can't really decide."
"Fair enough."
"Kaze!" I heard a familiar voice that was calling out my name.
That said voice was Arle, who was with Ringo, trying to check up on me. I think they was getting impatient on me having to evacuate the beach with them.
"Kaze. Come on. We have to get out of here." Arle said.
"I know you're worried about the stone and all, but…"
"Don't worry. We still got it." I said as I showed them the stone.
"Oh… you still got it. Ok, that's nice, but we still need to get out of here before those robots find us." Arle said.
"You can tell us what happened, afterwards." Ringo said.

"What do you think?" I asked Floré.
"Well… maybe you should listen to them. Don't worry about the damages. Suzuran will handle the current incident. For right now, I think you should leave this city with them."

"Well… we got the stone anyway. Ok, your right. It's almost night time anyway, so let's actually get out of here."
"Alright, come on. Everyone's at the train station." Arle said.
"The train comes at 8:10 so we should hurry." Ringo said.
"Ok. Thanks for helping me back there, Floré. I really appreciate it." I said as I waved at her and the three of us moved out.
"No problem!" I heard Floré say.
I'm really glad that I could rely on a friend.
Author's Note: The party was just going well for Kaze until the welcoming committee arrived and spoiled the beach party. But with the red stone still in her possession, Kaze must use these final hours of the day to protect the stone at all times. But the question is, what will be next for Kaze after she returns to Primp Town? You'll have to find out in Part 2.
Yup. There will be 2 parts in this chapter since I'm not taking long to write a very long chapter that will appear to be the main finale of this series. So I decide to break this chapter into two parts, so this is part one that you are reading. The next chapter will come later on so stay tuned, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
