Flashback

Japan, Kuoh

Jin Skyward

As I teleported back into my home, Shigune was just there, arms stretched out asking for a hug. Her eyes were also closed. Rose and I look at each other before chuckling. I kiss Rose before she walks into the kitchen and I go to Shigune to hug her.

"Anything happen while I was gone?"

I ask her and she nods while her head is on my chest.

"...Gasper-kun wants to talk to you about something. He should be in his home with Kiba-kun."

"I see, I'll go and talk to him then, but did you wait for us or something?"

Shigune stiffens as I ask her that question.

"Uhm... N-No, I-I— R-Rossweisse-san told me that you were coming home not too long ago, so I waited here..."

She explains while embarrassed. Did she do it while I was being bear hugged by Misla? That's the only time she could have, or when Rose and Coriana spoke to each other. Well, whatever it was, I still need to speak to him.

"...I'll go do that now then. So I can come back and relax a bit before heading to Heaven."

She kind of deflates while we hug. I chuckle a little and she lightly hits me on the chest as a result. It would be rude to Gasper if I invited someone else, so I'm sorry, Shigune.

"It won't take too long, Shigune."

"Oh, actually, Jin?"

"Hmm?"

"Scathach-san also wants to talk to you."

Scathach? What would she want to talk about? She mostly spends her time down in the [Training Facility] since Lianne is down there, and either fights her, or trains Inaie and Raiko. Well, I'll see when I get back. A few more seconds of hugging Shigune reluctantly lets me go, she's like another Lavinia during our early days...

"I'll get going then, I'll be back in a bit...... Really?"

"Mmm. Hmm? Did you say something, Jin?"

Shigune seems confused, but I just shake my head. A certain Dhampir just jumped into my shadow... I hope my shadow soldiers don't panic or anything...

...

Once in the entrance hallway of Kiba and Gasper's home—

"Ah, Jin-sen—"

I stop Kiba by putting my hand up as he pauses to look at me. I take out a Pepsi bottle and a Coca-Cola glass, which confuses him even more.

"Pepsi bottle, a Coca-Cola glass... I don't give a damn."

And then I pour the Pepsi into the glass. He looks even more confused by this action; I could see question marks floating around his head. Haaa... I really need to share memes into this universe, they always go over their heads...

[I get it Partner! I gotchu!]

Ddraig!

[Uooooooo!!!]

'You're both idiots...'

[Takes one to know one, Velgrynd!]

'...'

"S-So why are you here...? I-Is it to see m-me?!"

Kiba says while blushing. However, in response I just stare at him blankly.
