Yuuki and Ishida were walking together back to both Sahara and Shouko.
"We're giving you a discount ticket! Please take one!!" The girl with cat ears accessories gave them coupon tickets.
Ishida was very surprised to see this girl, 'Ueno?'
Yuuki was looking at her thighs, 'What a delicious thigh!' He couldn't believe he found a treasure from in the city. He needed to tour around the city more so he could find something like this all the time. He noticed Ishida was looking at the girl.
"What? Did you fall in love with her at first sight?" Yuuki asked.
Ishida hurriedly waved his hands, "NO WAY!! It seems she was one of my acquaintances from my elementary school."
Yuuki raised his eyebrow and said, "Did he abandon you also?"
Ishida didn't say anything and nodded.
Yuuki snorted, "Don't worry man, there are a lot of cute girls in this world, I'll introduce you to some, what kind of girls do you want? Do you like the young one? Mature one? Or do you like MILF?"
Ishida was blushing, "I'm not a pervert like you, ANIKI!!"
Yuuki shook his head, "This is why you're a virgin, everyone is perverted whether you realize it or not."
Ishida shook his head and said, "No! Everyone isn't perverted like you!"
Yuuki shook his head, "In this world, there are only 2 kinds of people! An open pervert and closet pervert! I remember you're trying to peep when Sahara was touching Shouko's breasts."
Ishida was blushing hard, "I-it's not like that!! I don't want Sahara to do something strange to Shouko."
"Well, whatever you say," Yuuki shook his head.
"By the way, do you like Shouko, Aniki?" Ishida asked.
Yuuki stopped and started to think, he had never thought of Shouko as a romantic partner but when someone started to ask him this question, he thought if she had a boyfriend, what would he do? Will he be able to smile? No, he didn't want Shouko to have a boyfriend, but his feeling wasn't that strong toward her. He also didn't want to make her become his sex-friend.
"I have a girlfriend, you know," Yuuki said, he didn't want to answer this question now. He needed to think more about Shouko later.
Ishida nodded, he needed to work hard to search for his reason to live, he needed to spend more time with his mother, sister, niece, and Nagatsuka. He started to remember how his first meeting with Nagatsuka was. He was the first person who tried to call him.
Now, Ishida started to feel excited about this life.
"Hey? Do you have something you want to do, Ishida?" Yuuki suddenly asked.
"Me?" Ishida was startled, he had never thought, Yuuki would ask this kind of question.
"Yeah, you need a reason to live, right? Sometimes, a dream is also one of the reasons people live, you need to find your dream in this life," Yuuki said.
Ishida realized that Yuuki was right, he started to think about what he wanted to do in this life. He kept thinking until he remembered his mom. He remembered that she raised him with only opened a hair salon in his home, though, the income wasn't much but he had enough to eat every day.
"Probably the hairdresser," Ishida said unsurely. He had thought his dream was pretty girly and thought Yuuki would make fun of him.
"Hairdresser, that's great," Yuuki said.
Ishida looked at him with a strange expression, "Don't you think, it's a job for women?"
Yuuki shook his head, "Hairdresser is great, you have a special privilege to touch everyone's head, everyone will be jealous of you since you can touch the prime minister, king, or the president's head."
Ishida opened his mouth wide and had never thought of anything like that.
"Well, enough of that, you still haven't become a hairdresser and I can see both Sahara and Shouko are coming toward us," Yuuki said.
Ishida nodded at him and clenched his hands, he needed to become a hairdresser.
Sahara and Shouko came to them and invited them to karaoke.
"I'll be going home first, I need to do something," Ishida excused himself, saying he wanted to try to practice hair cutting with his mom.
"What's wrong with him?" Sahara asked.
"He found his dream, that's all," Yuuki said.
Sahara looked confused but Shouko nodded sagely.
Working hard toward their dream it was youth, it was painful, satisfying, memorable, and couldn't be forgotten.
---
Yuuki, Shouko, and Sahara went to karaoke and sang for a long time.
Yuuki wanted to cure Shouko so she could talk normally, but he needed time to do it. He didn't want to startle her.
They were singing until someone called him on his phone, Yuuki looked at the screen and it was Metsudo-jii.
"I'll need to answer this," Shouko and Sahara nodded at him.
Yuuki excused himself and received his phone call, "What's wrong, Metsudo-jii?"
"Hahaha, Yuuki, I've just learned about your manga and game! It's really great!" Metsudo-jii said.
"Hahaha, I'm glad you like it," Yuuki said.
"I've heard from your dad that you've bought a company," Metsudo-jii said.
"Yeah, I've bought it and had already prepared my book, you should be able to see its advertisement in many places," Yuuki knew that his father had helped him somehow, he needed to say thank you to him.
"Hahaha, it's great to be young, you can do anything!!" Metsudo-jii said.
"Then, why did you suddenly call me, Metsudo-jii?" Yuuki asked again.
"That's right, I have a feeling that you'll join the Kengan matches in the future," Metsudo-jii said.
"Probably, but I don't think I'll need to join now," his company was still on the development stage, Yuuki was sure, his company wasn't worth that much in everyone's eyes.
"Hahaha, don't worry about that, I've been living believing in my instinct, how about you go to kengan matches, today?" Metsudo-jii said.
"Ha? Today?" Yuuki was surprised.
"Yeah, isn't it better to learn now, rather than later?" Metsudo-jii said.
Yuuki thought for a while and nodded, "Sure,"
"Good, I'll call someone to pick you up," Metsudo-jii said.
"Thank you," Yuuki said.
They talked for a while and closed their phone, Yuuki was quite curious, it was his first time to watch Kengan matches, he couldn't wait for it.
