Yuuka's surprise
After telling the story about him and Miyu-chan It was almost time for them to go back.
Kaneki: alright then, Darkness travel recharged well you two ready?
Yuuka: yup!
Natsuki: I have everything I brought with me.
Kaneki: good. Now time to go back.
As Kaneki said that he undone his Dryad style form and put his hand on the ground.
He then activated Darkness travel.
Natsuki: don't push yourself too much alright?
Kaneki: and you two better keep our relationship a secret mostly you Mirai-san.
Yuuka: I won't.
Kaneki: ...
With that the shadow they used to get to Dagon appeared underneath their feet again and began to swallow them.
And then.
Poof!
Kaneki, Natsuki & Yuuka: We're back!
Sachi: welcome back! So? Did you guys found the Mural?!
Kaneki: yes, but we decided we should go there another time.
Miku & Shino: Huh? Why?
Itsuki: We're back!
Keiko: we got the 25 Higanbana flowers!
Itsuki and Keiko also returned.
Kaneki: yo we, just got back from the mural.
Itsuki & Keiko: cool!
Sachi: *finger snap Hey Kaneki! Why did you say you're going there another time?
Kaneki: oh yeah, so turns out it isn't safe to be in the middle of forest since it would be dangerous so we decided we should go back another time.
Sachi: that makes sense.
Chikao: yeah, better safe than sorry.
Yuuka: oh yeah! I haven't took a picture of the Mural yet!
Kaneki: you can just come with me next time there.
Yuuka: Yay!
Itsuki: so did you guys get any new information about the whereabouts of the Crown?
Sachi: ehhh~ well me, Chi-chan and These two did a very vague clue in one of the books.
Keiko: really?! What is it?!
Sachi: "the fortress beneath the flowers" that's the only thing we got.
Kaneki: that's honestly really good.
Yuuka: but we have more information!
Natsuki: that's right!
Shino: so what's the information?
Kaneki: the ones I was able to decipher/translate was "blood of flower", "in Akuma castle you'll find the treasure".
Shino: the first one was vague but the second sounds very important.
Miku: Yeah! It probably aligns with "the fortress beneath the flowers"
Yuuka: it does sound like that.
Natsuki: and there's another clue too that was from my book here.
Everyone: Huh?! Really?!!!
Natsuki: yup, the information it contained was very important it said ""if you seek the crown you must find the family who has the blood of Higanbana and the family who served the Demon knights those two families have the clues clues you seek".
Everyone felt excited hearing that.
Keiko: seriously?! That's big!
Itsuki: amazing! We can definitely find that crown!
Chikao: wait... Why were did it say clues clues?
Natsuki: I think it was a mistake by Demon queen hiragi.
Sachi: this is awesome! We got some more hints and clues to the whereabouts of the Crown.
Itsuki: by the way Mizutani-san which part of your book was that thing about the two families that will help?
Natsuki: in one of the blank pages.
Miku: cool, did you use a blacklight?
Natsuki: ...
Yuuka: ...
Kaneki: ... Well that's not how it happened.
Chikao: really? Than what did she used?
Kaneki: it's very complicated we can't exactly tell you guys.
Yuuka: yeah, it is very difficult for us to explain.
Natsuki: yeah...
Everyone: okay...
Kaneki: anyways everyone let's conclude our research for today and Tomorrow we will have free time.
Itsuki: fine with me.
Keiko: okay!
Sachi: good!
Miku & Shino: great!
Kaneki: good but before we leave can I have the Higanbana flowers now?
Itsuki: oh yeah! Keiko give it to him.
Keiko: here!
Keiko handed the bag of Higanbana flowers to Kaneki.
Kaneki: thanks. Let's see.
Kaneki started to inspect them.
Kaneki: good they're good.
Kaneki then took out 5 Higanbana flowers.
Natsuki: what are you doing Higanbana-kun?
Kaneki: *NOM!
He ate the 5 extra Higanbana flowers.
Kaneki: alwight, that weaves tweny weft, it's so gwood.
Natsuki, Keiko, Itsuki and Chikao were shocked after seeing him eat 5 of the Higanbana flowers.
Itsuki: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING DO YOU WANT TO DIE OR SOMETHING!
Chikao: SPIT THOSE OUT NOW! SPIT THEM OUT!
Natsuki & Keiko: DONT EAT THAT YOU IDIOT!!!
They were panicking because the Higanbana(read spider Lily) is very poisonous and it's poison can kill.
But.
Sachi: don't worry this is normal.
Natsuki: What do you mean NORMAL?! HE'S EATING POISONOUS FLOWERS!
Kaneki: I'm immune to Higanbana flower poison so don't worry.
Itsuki: what?!
Kaneki: hey don't ask me, I don't know why I'm immune well anyways, see ya guys later bye-bye.
As he said that he left the Kodama mansion.
Itsuki: I really don't understand that guy at all.
Sachi: well, what do you guys wanna do?
Shino: don't you have a stream later at 2:30?
Sachi: oh right! I totally forgot! I'm leaving now too, see ya guys later!
Sachi left as well.
Keiko: let's go back Itsuki-kun!
Itsuki: sure!
Itsuki and Keiko then left too. Leaving Chikao, Shino, Miku, Yuuka and Natsuki
Shino: so what happened? Why did you guys decided to go back to the Mural another time?
Natsuki: it's complicated and we promised each not to tell.
Chikao: well I guess there's no point in asking them.
Natsuki: well I'll go back home too mom is probably worried sick by now.
Miku: alright, stay safe.
Natsuki: I will!
Natsuki then left as well.
Yuuka: sigh~.
Shino: so? Any progress?
Chikao: yeah any progress?.
Yuuka: well... Not exactly but the progress was a bit too fast.
Shino: too fast how?
Yuuka then explained why her progress was a bit forced and too fast.
Chikao: so since you used your friendship with Mizutani-san you requested to call him by his first name and become secret friends with him too?
Yuuka: that's right.
Miku: that...
Chikao, Shino & Miku: THAT IS THE DUMBEST IDEA YOU'VE EVER HAD!
Yuuka: I know! But since I couldn't talk to him a lot I had no other choice.
Shino: well, I guess I can understand that after what we've done we have no right to ask him to go with him.
Yuuka: yeah...
Miku: ...
The 3 were a bit depressed when Shino said that except for...
Chikao: Wow! You girls really became more pathetic and you Yuuka you've become dumber too.
Shino: what?
Yuuka: what are you-
Chikao: "I don't have the right" this, "we don't have the right" that, Seriously! Do you girls want to fix your relationship with him or not!
Miku: what?
Chikao: put it simply! If you girls don't have some initiative how will you face him?
All 3: !!!
Chikao: save that guilty expression and feelings for later when you actually fix your relationship with him because that is what's holding you girls back! You should try spending time with him alone, like go to the arcade with hike or something!
Yuuka: ... How can i even do that?
Chikao: you're smart figure it out yourself. I'm going home.
After she said all that Chikao left.
Yuuka: ...
Miku: I never seen that side of Chikao-Oneechan before.
Shino: well, she does want to help us but how can we spend time with him alone?
Miku: well, I guess we can't always rely on Sachi-Oneechan, her and Natsuki after all we created this mess.
Shino: I guess we should figure it out ourselves when their not available.
Miku: yeah. I think we should go home too. Let's think about it back home.
Yuuka: yeah...
They then left the Kodama mansion and then separated to cool off.
Yuuka's thoughts*
(She's right but...How can I spend some alone time with him?! I don't know what to do! Plus if we get seen with each other we rumors might be made about us using Kaneki I don't want that! Think! Think!)
"Why not ask him to go to the arcade with his second body Kotarou?"
(Wait that's a great idea! Maybe I should invite him, but wait how can I contact him? I don't even have his number... Oh right! I can just ask Natsuki!)
15 minutes later at the Higanbana residence*
Kaneki: alright that's probably enough blood for Natsuki.
Kaneki was putting blood in bags to give to Natsuki.
Kaneki: well with that done I might as well take a nap-
Ping!
Kaneki: huh? A message?
Kaneki opened his phone to see a message from...
"Hey Kaneki! Let's go to the arcade later!"
Kaneki: Y-Yuuka?!
He was immediately invited by his former best friend to go to the arcade. But will it go smoothly?
