This story is about a boy name Komori Hikki (Black Bullet) 18 years old, who has spent two years locking himself in his room. His life was nothing special until a day has finally come...
"Oi!!!! How you doing over there, Burakku-boya?!" Baguette shout as he comes closer to Hikki
Hikki wipes his tears, turn around, facing Baguette and reply:
"Ah... All good!... Oh yeah, Setto-san and Oni-san have just logged off..."
"Haiya... Those love birds left us again... So, what do you up to?!" Baguette ask
Did not expect a question in return, Hikki replied clumsily
"Eto... Nothing really... Just as always I guess... Haha... How about you? Are you joining Setto-san Hanami tomorrow?!"
Addition: Hanami is Japanese for Sakura watching
Baguette: "Nah... You know me, I ain't that kinda person... Anyway, let's get back to the guild shall we?!"
"Sure!"
As the two are on their way back to NekoParadise, Hikki walks behind Baguette and thinks to himself...
"OMG! Why is this silence so awkward... We have ended the conversation a while ago... What should I do?! Oh lord, why do I care so much about this? We have never chat while we're on our way to go anywhere except when we are with Oni-san and Setto-san. But... Why is this so awkward now?"
"Ah! As I recall, he is doing the "One kick man" exercise and he has to wake up early for it, that's why he said he is not interested in Hanami. I should ask him about it! But it's been forever since the conversation last, aren't it be super awkward to ask him now?!..." The panic high school girl continues
Despite his ongoing consideration, Hikki gathers all his courage and ask embarrassedly
"Ah... Ano, are you still following the "One kick man" routine?!... That's... That's why you didn't want to join the Hanami early in the morning, doesn't it?!"
Baguette surprised and replies vaguely
"Ah... Uhm!"
"Ah... Uhm?!!!! WTF! I put everything on this line and what I get is not even a real answer?!... Oh god, please kill me! This is so embarrassing..."
"Nếu có nắm lá ngón trong tay lúc này, Hikki sẽ ăn cho chết ngay chứ không thèm nghĩ nữa..."

System calls: Usually, Baguette is the one who starts the conversation by asking Hikki, not the other way around. So that vague replied is predictable.
Filled with disappointment and awkwardness, Hikki continues to overload his brain by questioning his existence
As Baguette and Hikki walking through the Kingdom's gate, the NPCs start gathering around and chanting
"Baguette-sama banzai!"
"Bullet-sama banzai!"
As a reflex, Hikki startle and grabs onto Baguette arm
