"Oya?" Said a male voice. "Isn't that our raisin?"

"Ah, Baji-kun!" Girl sitting on the grassy boulevard called cheerfully.

The commander came up to her and sat down next to her.

"What's up?" She asked. "Long time no see."

"Right." He nodded. "It's boring." He sighed and stretched a little. "How are you, raisin? What are you thinking about?" He glanced at his friend.

"Eh... Nothing." She replied hesitantly. "I'm just... sitting here."

"If someone did something to you, tell me right away, I'll kill the bastard on the spot." Keisuke said.

"No." Ami replied amused seeing his expression. "I'm fine." She assured him. " „It's just... I have a slight confusion in my head." She admitted shyly, and Baji listened carefully. "I have to...Tell someone something important..." She said. "But I don't know how to do it. " Said which caused the boy to smile.

"I see." He said smiling. "This is serious, I suppose?" Man asked, glancing at her. Girl nodded. "Whatever it is..." He looked at her again. "You should tell about it as soon as possible."

"I wanted to." She replied. "But there's no time for it now, and I don't want to disturb..."

"It's been hard in Toman recently, but after meeting Moebius, I'm sure you'll be the first person he would want to meet." The dark-haired man said.

"Maybe... Eh?" She looked at Baji with surprise at which the commander laughed.

"It's about Mikey, isn't it?" He looked at her with a smile.

"How did you know?" She blushed. "Is that so obvious?"

"There's an amazing bond between you two and we all can see it." He laughed. "And Mikey talks about you all the time."

"I hope that at least nothing bad..."

"No." He replied amused. "He likes you a lot." Man looked at her again. "You've nothing to fear, raisin." Baji pats her head. " He won't reject you." Keisuke smiled warmly. "And if something goes wrong..." He snapped his fingers. "Then I'll hit him on that blond head myself." He said and Ami laughed.

"Thank you, Baji-kun." She said. "Are you okay?" Ami asked worried seeing the later reaction of the boy.

"Of course, everything's fine." He replied smiling and then stood up and extended his hand to his friend. "How about some ice cream? Heard the ones in the area are good."

"Um? Ah, sure." She grabbed his hand and with his help got up to her feet. "You know, if you want to talk..." She followed the commander. "I'll listen." She said honestly which caused Keisuke's pale smile. The dark-haired man turned to face her and pats her head again.

"You're a good girl." He smiled warmly. "Mikey'll be well looked after." He laughed and continued on his way.

"Baji-kun." The student stopped him so he looked at her. "I'm serious."

"I know." Man nodded. "Thank you, raisin."

After a few minutes, they were at place, and Keisuke went to buy them cold sweets. In the meantime, Ami was waiting nearby and suddenly two boys accosted her.

"Hello gorgeous." One said.

"You're so cute." The other said.

"Why don't we go to the cinema together? What do you think?" The first asked.

"Eh? No, thanks." Kojima replied slightly scared.

"Why not?" The boy was surprised. "You shouldn't be alone here..." He wanted to come to her, but then Baji appeared and spread the purchased delicacy on the head of an unnecessary admirer.
