As soon as I opened my eyes on Thursday morning I got jumped by another mission, this time the system wanted me to officially confess to Kisaki yet the choices were bland, didn't help that both had restrictions where I needed to complete them today. The first choice was to confess by putting a letter in his locker to ask him to come to the rooftop, the second was just as simple as asking him to follow me during the lunch break and confess in a secluded place.

I clicked on the first choice, I mean either someone asks you out or it was a challenge for a fight, you never knew until you reached the rooftop. My only preparation consisted of running to the flower shop during lunch and praying that the flowers wouldn't die inside my locker in this humid weather.

After school I was waiting for him on the rooftop, he was taking his time in fact which made me have an outlook on the school entrance to make sure he didn't dip on me. Once he came thru the door, his first reaction was to sight.

"I should have known it was you." well he didn't have to be this disappointed, it's not like Hinata was even attending our school, maybe he shouldn't have risen up his hopes all by himself?

I straighten my back and pulled the flowers closer to my chest as I yelled.

"Kisaki!" I was already playing a shoujo manga scenario in my head. I settled for some cheesy script I quickly wrote under one of the breaks.

"I have been thinking about you lately, about what we could be! So I decided to gather my courage and officially confess my love for you, so will you be my boyfriend?!" He was already pressing his temples.

"Why are you screaming everything out?"

"Don't they usually do it in the anime? Don't you find me a tad cuter this way? Doesn't my confession make your heart pound just a little bit faster?" He turned around ready to leave, but I leaped in and grabbed his leg, to prevent him from leaving this quick.

"No don't go I haven't finished yet." He had to suffer thru this a little bit longer.

"You can't give me just a tiny bit of chance? We could at least try to go on a date, how does that sound?" he tried to shake me off his leg but I held on tight.

"Come on~ What do you have to lose?"

"My crush seeing us together." Well, he did make a solid point.

"How about making them jealous, it could work right, don't tell me it's really that giraffe guy I have seen yesterday." He shot me a glare, I guess he didn't want me to believe he had a crush on Hanma.

"Then who is it, someone in our class?"

"No! Now let me go before I get angry for real." Somehow I got a bad feeling, that he really was pissed this time around. I released the prisoner that was his leg and shoved the flowers into his face.

"At least take the flowers, please~" He actually snatched the bouquet from my hands and walked away. What was his deal even? He didn't treat me too bad but blocked any of my approaches. Was my father as a lawyer that scary? Or did he see no benefit of dealing with me, outside my proclamations of love? I didn't care I just collapsed onto the ground and lay there for a while until I got a phone call from Emma.

"What's up?" Suddenly another mission appeared.

'Would you rather invite Emma Sano to an outing together, or go back home and finish your art pieces.' At any other point in time I would probably head back home to draw, but this whole ordeal made me feel a little bit empty, was I bothered by Kisaki rejecting me?

"Wanna hang together?" we both asked at the same time. I see that's what this was about. We came to an agreement on where to meet and I was soon on my way there.

We decided to stroll around the city, a nice walk in the raging sun. We talked about our hobbies, which made me realize how I could paint Emma a portrait. What better gift than something you made yourself. Yes, I could give Emma both handmade and purchased gifts so she could show them off to Draken. At first, he wouldn't realize what was going on, but once I dispatch Keisuke, that would become my messenger birdie on a mission to make Draken believe I have a crush on Emma. I could then dispatch Emma on a mission to act like she kind of liked me back but wasn't sure.

"I'm somehow of a genius," I said out loud.

"Why did you already come up with a plan?" I briefed her about it, and she seemed to love it.

"It's important to make him think, he's gonna run out of time. So I will send my friend-" she interrupted me.

"Who's your friend, you seem certain they know each other." right I didn't realize she didn't know about my friendship with Keisuke.

"Keisuke Baji, they know each other right? At least that's the kind of information I found out." She nodded and was quite shocked at the fact I knew Baji of all the people.

"How did you two meet?" I decided to give her some rough explanation of our first meeting, but her face became all weird, all smiley like she was anticipating something.

"Oh sounds like fate bought you two together~" I guess one could put it this way.

"What do you think of Baji-san?" she asked.

"Annoying." she seemed shocked.

"Why?" Yes, why did I find him this annoying wasn't he a character I liked in the manga, oh yes I remembered.

"He does whatever he pleases." then again I wasn't that much different in this aspect.

Emma must have spotted someone she knew because I heard her yelling out some names but didn't pay much attention. All I could see was this big doggie, that I had to pat. It didn't help that it came to me voluntarily and as I bend down it licked my face. I was wondering how I would get away with kidnapping the dog, I was patting it so long I may have tried to pick it up and run away with it, but I felt watchful eyes staring at me.

"It's not like I tried to kidnap the dog or anything." A total lie, but then I spotted a familiar face.

"Oh, Ryohei-Kun!" I guess my brain didn't register his alias which most likely Emma said because in my head Ryohei-Kun sounded the cutest.

"What?" he seemed surprised that I called him such. Oh, right I never briefed him about that to call him. He had to live with me calling him by his first name.

"Oh~ it's something going on between you two?" Emma was ready to find any signs of love I see.

"Yes, a shared interest for manga." I then looked at Ryohei and gave him a smile.

"So how many have you finished so far?" I tried to remember.

"I think I have 3 books left." I see Emma was having fun imagining scenarios in her head. I decided to warn him about the dangers lurking around the corner.

"Right there was something I wanted to tell you. Can you two get us a moment?" Pah-chin just looked confused the whole time. I grabbed Ryohei's wrist and dragged him to the side, so neither Emma nor Pah-chin could hear us. I tried to make him bend down, but he didn't understand what I was trying to signal to him, so I just stood on my toes while whispering to him.

"I think some weirdos are stalking your ass." He looked surprised and confused.

"What?!" well he didn't have to scream in my ear.

"Tone it down, maybe they are lurking around here somewhere, what I know it's just some giraffe-like guy had photos of us both on his phone. Then he started to interrogate me, asking me if I was your girlfriend or something."

"Why would he think that?" That's what I was wondering, if they stalked him long enough they wouldn't come to that stupid conclusion.

"I dunno, they saw us walking inside your house and thought something happened between us." He nodded, but I could see he couldn't connect the dots.

"Anyway I called them out on their gay behavior, but you should be careful, stay safe."

'Friendship with Ryohei Hayashi reached level 1." at least something good came out of telling him this. Besides I don't think they would pick him as a target to get rid of Pah-chin from Toman since he could stand his ground, I guess that was only a temporary suggestion because they thought he had a girlfriend? Because he most likely would be weaker protecting her? What a bunch of losers. I made myself angry thinking about this.

"You don't need to worry about me I can take care of myself!" Ah, why did he have to yell it so loudly, now Emma was giving me weird looks again. We walked back. Emma talked with the two until we parted our ways.

"I think I trust you even more in the love department." What why? I guess she could tell I was shocked, but she didn't explain.

"Keep your secrets," I said narrowing my eyes, but she just laughed at me.

"Maybe next time we should hang with other girls?" I thought that maybe Hinata and Senju could join our circle.

"Oh sounds fun, count me in." Well, I knew Hinata and Emma would get along just perfectly, I wasn't sure what Senju would think, but I decided to gather them all together, so in the future when I decided to have my sleepover it wouldn't be so awkward.
