"Draken, communicate with me"

Hanae's breathing became uneven.

"I'm tired, Ryu" He chuckled.

"I need to know if you're still conscious" She reasoned, "stay conscious, don't sleep, Takemitchy? was it"

"yeah.." the blonde replied.

"i see.. some people blocking us up front" Hanae mumbled.

'shit- at this rate, we might not make it in time'

"God" Shiro mumbled.

The fight just ended.

Bodies lying everywhere.

"man- i'm beat" Takashi sighed.

"Heyyy! we're done here too" Nahoya grinned.

"got it" Takashi mumbled, "where's Mikey and Shiro-san?"

"They're both over there" Keisuke pointed out.

Shiro was standing in between Shuji and Manjiro.

A guy on a motorbike came to bring Shuji back but he had some final words.

"I am Valhalla's first vice president" He grinned, "Goodbye for now, Miya, Mikey"

They drove off.

"oi, Rokkun" Keisuke called out, "Mitsuya told me you had a word with- that guy just now"

"hm?" Nahoya grinned, "Are you conspiring with the enemy, now, Shiro-san?"

He cracked his knuckles.

Everyone looked on edge.

".. no" Shiro furrowed her eyebrows, "you got it wrong"

"Then what" Yasuhiro shot.

"...."

Nothing cane out of Shiro's mouth.

"I trust, Shichi" Manjiro said out loud, "She must have her reasons.."

Shiro was slightly taken aback.

"I agree with Mikey" Haruchiyo voiced out.

"Sanzu" Yasuhiro furrowed his eyebrows.

Shiro looked down before running off.

"Shiro-san-" Takashi called out and had his arm out.

"Leave her be, Mitsuya" Keisuke shot.

He, too, went his separate way.

"Draken-kun is-" Takemichi got cut off.

"Mikey" Takashi called out.

"You're being too loud" Manjiro mumbled, "we're in the hospital, so keep it down.. where's the waiting room"

"Draken" Hanae paused, "He'll wake up"

"He'll keep his promise. He lost to our bet and owes me a meal"

Hanae had a smile on her face.

Manjiro smiled too.

"He's the type of guy who always keeps his words" he commented, "he won't drop at a place like this. I definitely won't let it end like this"

"So everyone... believe in Ken-chin"

With that, the blonde sat down.

"Everything will be fine" he smiled.

The operating room light went off.

Two Surgeons came out.

"We stopped his life from passing" they announced, "the surgery was a success"

Everyone smiled, grinned and even cried in happiness.

"DRAKEN-KUN IS SAVED" Takemichi yelled.

"Let's go tell the guys waiting outside" Takashi suggested.

Manjiro did not follow them, instead he went somewhere else.

Somewhere alone.

He cried.

After holding it for so long, he cried.

"Ken-chin..." the blonde mumbled, holding his forehead with his palm.

Shiro, casually came to check out on Ken, accidentally saw him in that state.

The white haired female sat beside him.

"Those tears don't have worth anymore" she mumbled, "Crying now? Manjiro-san.. it doesn't matter anymore"

"Shichi.." Manjiro mumbled, his lips turning into a weak looking smile, "Your advice is so harsh"

He chuckled.

"i- apologize" Shiro paused.

She sensed someone listening to their conversation.

"I'll be on my way.. Manjiro-san, Ryu" Shiro stood up, completely exposing Hanae who was listening to their conversation.

She appeared.

"How- did you know it was me" Hanae questioned.

"Paying attention to our surroundings is a very important thing in video games" Shiro smiled.

Hanae looked around.

There was a reflective object on top of the pole nearby.

Hanae took a step back.

"I assume that Ryuguji must be fine" Shiro mumbled, "Considering how happy Hanagaki sounded"

"you must be overjoyed, Ryu" Shiro commented.

"...."

"...."

"I'll take my leave" Shiro walked away, "Please excuse me"
