Asahi is on the way home coincidence he saw Godou walking wiggling from the way of looking at him. He was exhausted from playing, so he lent him a shoulder, and Godou was surprised it was Asahi who was helping him, so he asked.
" Where did you come from Asahi??"
"I just visited a friend that I was talking about."
"Oh, you mean the Miko? Did you meet her?"
"Yeah, but she is leaving tomorrow."
"That's too bad, I wanna meet her too," Godou said with a slightly disappointed tone.
He wanted to see who the Miko was that Asahi bragging about and make friends with her too since Shizuka met her, only him not yet met so they left him behind but she was going to leave.
"Don't worry you will soon meet her in the future. " Asahi confidently said.
When he heard Godou wanted to meet her, he thought sure why not, sooner or later they will meet in the Plot anyway, from his perspective he knows Godou was sincere in making friends but the way he made friends with the girls was rather the way of falling in him.
If someone wants to prove Godou's capability to make someone fall in love with him without knowing him, he was one of the witnesses with Asuka who was out of the Kusanagi family will testify to see how the way he moves and tells the bloodline of Kusanagi's was totally legit.
"Hey Asahi." Godou called.
"What?" Asahi reply.
"Would you like to join our team? and you don't need to look at me like that."
Asahi looks annoyed at Godou saying 'Pain in the ass and replies.
"Again? Did I already refuse that offer before?"
"Y-yeah, but come on. Your throw was super unique even our coach wants you to join our team when he sees you in the game (Sub) in our competition game."
"You mean the Gyro fork that I use?" Asahi asked and he remembered that he did join their team in the past before a baseball match between other districts when Godou's team pitcher was injured during that time, so Godou recommended him, and what shocked the most was they had an extra baseball uniform and fit for him like it was ready for this.
In the Match between the district Asahi and Godou was enough to fight for them, Godou become stronger when he lost the match last time which makes him strategies and get a home run as a catcher while Asahi makes consecutive strikes out straight as a pitcher, as for the other tried they best to run get the score and coincidence the coach was seeing his Gyro Fork and tried to scout him as an official team but Asahi refuses the invitation.
"Yes, that one. you know after you refuse an invitation. He increased our training and made you an example of our team," Godou said with a tone of depression.
"Sorry", Asahi said unconsciously seeing Godou was depressed, he was feeling bad that became an example for them, the only thing he could do is to cheer him up. "But hey! did you have fun playing baseball right?"
Godou looked at Asahi when he asked him and smiled at him back too. "Of course!"
Then both went home with smiles and Asahi still refused to join.
---
The next day after visiting Yuri, Asahi didn't come to Yuri's departure. He said all of what he needed to be said when he last visited her and when Shizuka learned the news of Yuri's leaving she was getting mixed feelings. She was happy that Yuri was leaving but it was kinda sad to think they were not very close. She still considered her a friend.
They relaxed for training since it was Godou's birthday and also Asahi got a visit from his editor to give him the good news that his manga was going to have an Anime adaption and made him happy to hear it though he was expected it since his work was one of the tops that want fans to anime adaption.
They decided to go out first to go amusement park to have fun and Asuka came to the house to greet Godou and join in as well, while they were having fun Shizuka always clinging Asahi and tried to feed him, Asahi just go with the flow since he was thinking her a child instead girl but Grandma Chiyo looking at them which Shizuka doing her best give thumbs up to them.
However, they kinda feel bad that they were having fun without Grandpa Ichirou was not with them because he still had business things to do, so only Godou, Shizuka, Grandma Chiyo, Asahi, Mayo, and Asuka were going out but Godou was still thankful for it.
After having fun they decided to go home and eat at the Sushi house of Tokunaga residents who were busy being famous now on the street for being the delicious sushi they made and have a new version of sushi.
Due to that many people had booked reservations seats or else they would have to wait a long lane, but for them, they have nothing to worry about entering the shop because they were a friendly neighborhood and had VIP cards given them so they could pass thru without worry.
The Kusanagi family reserved the whole Sushi house of Tokunaga residents when they arrived Godou was surprised that many people in the neighborhood they knew, were waiting for them and gave a surprise greeting and also bought food too for everyone.
After Godou blow the cake made by Asahi and they started eating while Asahi was given the role of judge for the food tasting competition and the adults who love drinking were having a drinking contest too, enjoying the celebration event in the neighborhood.
After a day of having fun, they resumed their usual training but instead of that, Asahi called Shizuka to a talked about a serious matter for making her choice of her, he noticed she was getting stronger and her foundation was pretty solid too additional she mastered the basics he taught, its time to make her decision before she knows the supernatural world.
He wants to know her decision before he continues his teaching a skill, it will be no turning back at her, thus it's a chance for her to go back to being ordinary before it's too late.
Asahi gives Shizuka a choice which first is to go back to ordinary life and the second is to follow them. Also, he will tell her about the secret that she wants to know but the moment she learned it her life will drag in full of trouble and problems that might cause death at any time.
Shizuka heard Asahi's warning and understand Asahi's concern, her answer is to the second choice without a single hesitation, the reason is she wants to fully know him and be on his side no matter what happens also the last reason is she doesn't want to leave behind Tet, this makes Asahi and Tet smile at her and Asahi started explaining to Shizuka about the supernatural and about Tet.
Shizuka learned Tet was a god and became Asahi's authority but she didn't care about a single thing. She still treats her the same as when they met but she was wary about Tet's true form.
While Tet sees Shizuka didnt care about her, she was really happy their relationship didnt change a bit and continues to tease her off thus starting having their argument.
During their training Asahi begin to teach her some skills and magic making him happily increase her training harder than before, Shizuka had a hard time doing magic but if it's about martial arts technique stuff she easily absorbed like a sponge by all he threw at her cause of that her determination kinda started to waver and this was noticed by Asahi.
He was worried about Shizuka and thinking about what to do to help her. While he was thinking Tet came to the rescue and said to him she had an idea.
Asahi looked at Tet suspiciously but he doesn't have much idea, so he decided to listen to Tet's idea and had no choice but to agree which make him kinda regret it.
When he told Shizuka if she reached the surpass every rank he would do anything for her and this made her stunned and clarified what he said she gave innocently examples like kissing, hugging, going on a date, or going to the hotel?
He just nodded what she was saying, suddenly stunned for a second and denied the last part, and immediately asked who taught her that, and Shizuka said she saw it on the TV drama and asked him about the meaning of going to the hotel made she didn't know yet.
Asahi's eyebrow was twitching while smiling at what he heard and it was good for him that Shizuka still doesn't know yet, so he didnt answer the question, he just sermon her for lacking her exercise and punish her by adding more while Asahi in his inner thought, he now believes TV was the source of evil.
For Asahi power was growing at an enormous rate cause of his skill(Liaris Freeze), he also started noticing he was getting growing again making him happy that he will go back to his height in no time also he started increasing his efficiency with all the skills he got and creating more techniques, especially trying hard to control Haoshoku Haki and learning the advance Kenbunshoku&Busoshoku Haki.
He even started to ask Tet to play living chess with him to learn to be strategies even though he hated to read the documentary about the history and preferred reading manga he still read about various mythologies&Legends by borrowing books from the bookstore that Grandpa Ichirou owned.
Seeing him as Asahi who was showing a solemn face while learning strategies and reading tales and legends &Mythologies like that, Tet and Shizuka's admiration and affection for Asahi grew even more.
As Tet and Shizuka look at Asahi together, the two look at each other and decide to settle down their argument and start helping each other to fight along with Asahi and be with in the future.
Tet even started as a substitute teacher and sparring partner for Shizuka. When they were fighting, Tet summoned the golem and monster for Shizuka's sparring partner, which was experienced for her.
Shizuka looked at the golem and the monster was 3x big as her, she requested to give some slight advantage but Tet who was smiling at her, rejected it by showing not show mercy to her at all but it helped Shizuka surpass her limit and awaken her Haki by experiencing for beating her and she learned to grudge someone.
While Asahi was in training, he also creates and improves all his items, training chamber, Vehicles, and house, which became stronger and more durable by setting the rune array or enchantment he learned from Tet.
As for during their free time Shizuka and Tet asked for a date with Asahi. Of course, Asahi accepted it and had fun with them.
There was also the time Asahi and Shizuka watched Asuka making moves on Godou since he was pretty dense and only focused on his game. They were pitying Asuka the one giving some a signal on Godou was useless.
Asahi can't take any more that's why he simply said to her to confess frontal on him Asuka disagrees with that. She believes the boys should confess first which he wants to smack her head, he believes in gender equality but he doesn't have the right to interfere with their love comedy, so he can only do was pray for her victory.
The year 2004
As time flew by it was the year 2004 all of this was repeated like this. Now Asahi, Godou and Asuka were 9 years old and Shizuka was 7 years old.
In the training chamber, Asahi teaching Shizuka, who before have appeared 6-year-old after the fight, he grew up to 4'6 feet an appearance of a normal 9-year-old with a lean shoulder and his skin was smooth that many people admired it, and his red hair became slightly longer almost at his hip and decided to tie his hair in pony style.
Image style:
He decides not to use the illusion ring anymore and he just changes his looks to make him stay low, it makes Godou and others notice he has changed and become smaller than his actual height before.
While he was watching Shizuka, who had training for over a year now and noticed her look was a changed to the appearance 7-year-old kid despite her being a small cute look she got the power than before.
She spars with the mobs that Tet created, then Asahi checked Shizuka's status she was at the Intermediate rank in the short time which makes him proud of training her however even though she is powerful enough to stand intermediate type Witch and knights, she doesn't have enough experience in battling humans in the supernatural world, except for Asahi and Tet's mob creation who only spar with her and watch some beat up the stray witch/wizard when he was hunting around.
That's why he suddenly got the idea to give her a task for her experience by challenging one of the 4 legendary beast dojos which Asahi called due to their name (Green Dragon-sensei, White Tiger-sensei, Vermilion Bird-sensei, Black Tortoise-sensei.) they are the dojo master who connected History Compilation Committee training their people and they are the dojo Asahi challenge in the past so he going to send Shizuka as the same he did before.
When Shizuka received her first mission, she felt excited and quite a bit reluctant since her task was to beat some Dojo masters who training the people in the History Compilation Committee, they might offend them, and try to trace them down.
The History Compilation Committee is an organization devoted to controlling all supernatural events in Japan, and hiding their existence from the normal people through manipulation of the media (hence the name). The Committee uses the Shuto Ancient Style as their primary martial arts.
But When Shizuka heard Asahi saying to her "it's all good, they always welcome the challenger."
This makes her accept it and he promises her she will get one item in his arsenal if she succeeds in the mission. This makes Shizuka accept more since she knows all items in his Asahi's arsenal were one powerful item he made including his vehicles that enchant various magic.
Before Shizuka goes on the mission Asahi gives one letter to pass to the master dojo who Shizuka going to challenge and a kitsune mask with a design of 2 flower spots on the left cheek, this mask is capable see the surroundings even still wearing on and a storage ring the size of one single room inside, is also capable hide her presence it activates when user use magic power on the ring and this could send Sos in case something happened.
Shizuka took all the Asahi gave, then she looked at the ring and asked him, "Is this a proposal?"
Asahi:"...."
Instead of replying to her, he come closer on her and flicks her forehead with haki, of course, he was holding back causes only pain in Shizuka.
"Itaii! what did you do that for?" Shizuka said while touching gently the part where Asahi flick.
"Silly girl, you have still time to joke around now heh, how about we have a warm-up before you go to your task?" Asahi said showing his devil smile at her while he was summoning the wooden sword.
"I-im just kidding Asahi-nii, Im gonna go now!" Shizuka said while quite sweating and quickly runs and used the Dokodemo Door one of the convenient items he made and one of his favorite wishes lists.
She immediately fled while Tet, who was inside of him laughed hard and said to him, "Hehe, you evil."
