Ichika was in his room changing his clothes into his formal black suit. After he finished changing, he used the space stone to teleport somewhere.

Arriving in front of Ryukyu agency which is now on a large building in the city with a huge image of Ryukyu as a model hanging in front, Ichika remembered that he also owns an agency which currently running by the old man and his subordinates. Ever since his hero license expired, his office was closed down for the time being.

Ichika sighed as he entered the building. Looking around inside, all the interior designs was Chinese, combining simplicity, contemporary, modern, nature and power to make an environment of harmony and serenity. Bright, vivid colors are used in style decorating, with red, gold and black being dominant. He remembered that Ryukyu's hero costume was red Chinese dress.

All the Pro Hero sidekicks working under Ryukyu saw him casually walking through the office.

"He's here."

"Isn't that Captain Falcon? What is he doing here again?"

"He's been visiting Ryukyu-san often. She told us not to mind him and continue with our work."

Ichika knocked on new Ryukyu's office.

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*

"Who's there? I already told them that I'm busy today." Ryukyu responded while doing a lot of paperwork.

"It's just me."

"Falcon? You can come inside."

Ichika opened the door and entered her office.

"What about school? Don't you have any classes today?"

"Nope, today is my day-off from school."

"What about your homework?"

"I already finished it during the class."

...

Ichika indulged himself in the couch and lied down.

"Any hero work today? I want to go with you."

Ryukyu sighed and she responded,

"You're license is expired now. You can't do any hero work unless it's emergency. It's exactly the same situation as All Might. He will only come if the threat of the villain is beyond the power of the top Pro Hero like us. Aren't you the one who made that condition, Mr. President?"

"I forgor."

"That response again. What a birdbrain."

"I'm Falcon after all. I forget everything it in three steps if it something unnecessary for me. Well, jokes aside. How is Rumi doing?"

"Why are you asking me? You're his boyfriend."

"There are certain topics that only girls can talk with each other."

"If you're talking about her condition, it's not really good but she's still doing fine that it doesn't affect her hero work. She's currently conducting some raid on a villain group by herself."

"That girl... she should show some cooperation with the police to arrest the villains instead of leaving her opponents half-dead on her way."

"That's Mirko for you. Are you worried about her?"

"Yup, I worried about her. We already know she's kind of reckless."

"Well then... what about me, Falcon?"

"..."

Ichika became silent.

"I heard what happened at your school from Lady Nagant. You became someone really troublesome."

"Hey! I didn't cause any trouble! I'm trying my best to adjust on school!" he retorted.

"Fufufu..." Ryukyu giggled at him.

"Ryukyu, stop teasing me."

Ryukyu stood up from her seat then she went towards him.

"Huh?"

She sat on his side then moved closer to him, making him conscious of her.

"Hey."

"Falcon, about the letter..."

"Feel free to refuse it. I don't know what to do about that."

"You're confused, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then you won't take anyone other than Rumi. You wanted to stay true to her."

"What about you? Didn't you find any guy better than me?"

"I don't plan on getting married. My responsibilities as pro hero is already too much for me. You'll be the last guy I'll ever like if I get rejected."

"It's really such a waste."

"That's up to you, Falcon. Groups of villains were already targeting me for revenge. I'm afraid that they will use my love ones against me and take them as hostage. I don't want that to happen that's why I decided to be alone."

Ichika frowned remembering the records of Pro Heroes who died on their duty. Some of them died trying to protect their love ones. There are also some Pro Heroes who lost their love ones like Shimura Nana who's husband died. She was the seventh user of One for All and All Might's master. He won't forget these information he found out in the commission.

"If I have to marry someone, I won't mind if it's you. Just imagine someone trying to take you as a hostage and call me at my office."

"That will never happen because villains with bounties on their head are my piggy bank. A lot of them in the past has tried to gang up on me but not even once they succeed. They all ended beaten up and sent to Tartarus."

"That's why, I feel at ease whenever I'm with you, Falcon. Whatever happens, I will respect your decision on the engagement."

"Wasn't Lady Nagant on the same situation? What was his reaction?"

"I haven't heard anything from her but we already tried to speak about this with Mirko."

"What did Rumi said?" Ichika quickly asked.

"If you want to be with him, you have to go through me first! Beat me in a match and I won't mind if you stay by his side! That's what she said."

"Eh? Rumi already decided it that way? Then did you..."

Ryukyu glanced down to her side and became dejected.

"Yeah, me and Lady Nagant fought together against her and we lost the match. She didn't became no. 5 Pro hero for nothing."

Ichika smiled and he felt relief.

"So, that's her decision."

He stood up from the couch then he faced Ryukyu.

"Ryuko!"

Ichika called her by her real name which surprised her.

"Huh?"

"Try your best. I will be cheering for you and Kaina."

"Did you..."

"Yeah, I accept the engagement. It might be hard in the future but I'll try my best to make everyone happy."
