(In Raften Household)

''Emilia what's wrong?'' Sara asked the young girl sitting next to her.

Emilia flinched. ''A-Ah, what did you say?'' She turned her head towards Sara.

''I asked what's wrong, you have been looking at the phone for quite some time.''

''A-Ah, Slych said he will call me once he gets to the hotel… And he should have arrived already.'' Emilia said with concern.

''Why don't you call him?'' Sara asked.

Emilia shyly nodded, and with a rapid heartbeat she clicked Slych's number and the phone started ringing.

Emilia waited for 10 seconds and Slych still hasn't answered, she started to get worried until the call finally connected.

*Clank*

''Slych, are you alright?'' Emilia asked with concern.

''I am sorry, but Slych is currently in the bathroom, and he gave me his phone for safekeeping!'' Emilia heard a young man's voice which she has never heard before.

''A-Ah… Who is this?'' Emilia asked with a shy voice, she isn't very good at dealing with strangers.

Sara and the rest of Raften family looked at her.

''My name is Kurogami Ichiro, Slych's friend! Who is this?'' Emilia gasped

''I-Ichiro?!'' Emilia asked with shock, everyone in the Raften Household also looked at her in surprise.

''Yup, who is this?'' She heard the young man's voice ask.

''A-Ah… It's Emilia… H-Has Slych mentioned me…?'' Emilia asked shyly while twirling her hair.

''Ah, you are the girlfriend, Slych doesn't stop talking about you.'' Emilia had a huge smile after hearing the young man's answer.

''R-Really?!'' Emilia asked with a huge smile.

''Yes, yesterday he talked about you for hours! I got annoyed because I am still single.''

''Hehe…'' Emilia giggled which caused everyone in the Raften family to look at her in surprise.

Sara tried to lean closer to hear what Ichiro was saying.

''I will tell Slych that you called,''

''A-Ah, alright thank you!'' Emilia said with a cheerful voice and grateful smile.

''Tell everyone there that I said hi!''

''A-alright,'' Emilia replied shyly and she saw that call ended.

''What did he say?!'' Sara asked urgently.

''S-Slych was in the bathroom and Ichiro had his phone for safekeeping… And he also said hi to you all…'' Emilia shyly replied.

''Didn't they fight a very bloody battle a few hours ago?'' Sara asked.

''And?'' Zeux asked.

''Shouldn't Ichiro be like… Angry towards him?'' Sara asked.

''Why?'' Penelope asked with a neutral face.

''He lost… Usually, people in my school always get angry for losing.'' Sara answered.

Penelope giggled and said. ''Ichiro and Slych are way different than them, they know how to treat their opponent with respect and they would never go easy on their matches, even against their friends.''

Sara exclaimed and nodded thoughtfully.

''So, how was he?'' Penelope asked curiously towards Emilia.

Emilia thought for a moment, then with a slight giggle, she said. ''Very funny.''
