Warning: the chapters named Cupid will focus more on Koko and Inui's relationship and Eri playing matchmaker. This is also a celebration for chapter 251 of the manga.


It was normal for Eri to be inside Koko's room. She would wait for him and watch Netflix with him, or they would play games. He was tonight a little late, and she was getting bored and decided to snoop around. She saw nothing special and made her way inside his wardrobe. She saw shoes, and mixed inside were some high heels. Eri tried them on, but soon found out that they were too big. Then she saw between his clothes a jacket where 'black dragons' was written on it. She tried it on and felt something inside the pocked. There was a picture of a girl and a boy who seemed to be siblings. The girl, was a little older than the boy.

They shared the same hair and eye color, but when you looked closely, you could see that the girl's eyes were a little darker.

''Eri where did you find the jacket?'' Koko asked and Eri didn't look at him. Her eyes still on the picture.

''who are they?'' she showed Koko the picture, and he held his breath. There she was, the girl who haunted him since her death.

'' you don't need to know that.'' he told her, and she looked deep inside his eyes. She saw sadness, anger and what seemed to be regret.

''Bitch, I didn't know that we now have secrets.'' she looked at him a little hurt.

'' Eri there are some things that you don't need to know.'' he let a sigh out, but Eri, still didn't let go.

'' she was my first and last love.'' he said and Eri looked at the picture with widen eyes. ' At the restaurant... I'm such a cunt.'

''where is she now? And the boy? I can beat her up'' she offered and Koko had a smile on his face.

''there was a fire and she...'' Eri, knew what he meant and nodded.

'' the boy is free.'' he told her, and she looked a little confused.

'' why did you love her? I'm a lot prettier'' she joked and Koko had a soft smile on his face. ' It seems he likes to talk about her, but not about what happen to her. Under stable''

'' she was kind and was a little older than me. The boy and I were best friends, and she was his older sister. Sometimes she would watch over us. Her hair was beautiful, and she had light blue eyes. She also had a small birthmark near her collarbones.'' he said and looked outside. ''let's not talk about that anymore. I bought us that game you wanted.'' he finished and smiled.

As Koko made his way to get the game, Eri looked at the picture with widen eyes. 'Holy shit! I'm the next Sherlock Holmes!'

When Koko came with the game and saw her still looking at the picture. He let a sigh out '' I know you want to know more-'' before he could say more Eri looked at him.

'' sit down right now, Koko-melon'' she told him and took the game from his hands. She was now sitting right in front of him.

'' Eri what the-'' he was again cut off when she started to look at him serious.

'' Koko I want you to listen to me closely and what I am going to say Is going to shock you. However, don't interrupt me and answer the questions.'' she said, and he nodded.

'' you said she had a birthmark near her collarbones, right?'' he nodded.

''you also said she had light blue eyes.'' again he nodded and was now getting confused.

'' look at the picture, mister, sir Koko.'' he did and didn't see anything, and Eri let a sigh out.

'' the eyes from the boys are lighter than the one from the girl. She also doesn't have the birthmark.'' she told him, and Koko looked confused. ' No, that is not true. She was the one who helped me that day.'

'' Eri over the years I forgot many things. They share the same hair and eyes, so I thought that Inupi is Akane.'' Eri however saw deep inside his eyes something. He was lying, but it seems like not even he knew he was lying.

'' fine I am going to let it go but what was his name? He's cute'' she said. Koko was getting a little tired and sighed.

'' Seishu Inui. Now can we please start our game night?'' he said, and she nodded. When he was going to get the snacks and drinks, she wrote Emi. ' Search for someone named Seishu Inui. I want to know everything about this dude'

After that, she and Koko had their game night and Emi was searching for someone named Seishu Inui. The next morning, Eri saw all the information she got from Eri and texted her 'thanks'.

' That is useless. I mean, where does he live? Wait OMG he works at a shop that is going to be where he is right now.' Eri made her way to her wardrobe and got clothes that screamed 'undercover but wine aunt'. She put her sunglasses and red lipstick on her face.

Eri asked Ran to drive her because she knew he could keep a secret. After he dropped her off, she checked herself and looked at her high heels. 'Mission to get another father is on.'

As she made her way inside the shop, everyone eyes were on her. The reason was because one she seemed suspicious and two she was a little overdressed for a bike shop. Draken saw her and raised an eyebrow, 'who the hell is she? I don't remember her bringing her bike.' he made his way to her, and she smiled at him.

''hello is someone named Seishu Inui here?'' she asked, and her social anxiety was higher than Sanzu. She took deep breaths.

'' yes, he is in the back. I am going to get him.'' he said and Eri let a relived sigh out. After a few minutes, Draken and Inui were there and Eri looked at him. 'He is gorgeous, but not my type. He is also cosplaying Zuko and Todoroki.'

'' do I know you?'' Inui asked, and Draken gave them some privacy.

'' that is not the right question to ask. The better question to ask is how do I know you?'' she faked a smile, and Inui looked at her weirdly.

'' we both are connected through one person. Hajime Kokonoi.'' she whispered the last part and Inui's eyes widen.

'' where is he?'' Eri looked him deep inside his eyes. ' So it's not one-sided. Perfect! I'm better than every dating website!'

'' you should probably come with me because you are not going to like what I tell you.'' Inui looked a little worried but nodded.
