The streets of Daruma-Ikka were crowded with people from every SWORD and Toarushi area. Why wouldn't that be the case? After all, it was the biggest festival held in three years since the fight with the Iurme group. While some were enjoying the celebration with their families, friends, and children, others were gathered in the Gambling Den to place bets. Amidst the bustling activity on the street, people could be heard laughing and chatting happily around the food, games, and souvenir vendor stalls. Cobra, Naomi, Yamato, Dan, Chiharu, and Tetsu make their way down the temple street. Naomi and Yamato were holding hands as they glanced around excitedly. Their 3-year anniversary was around the corner. " What stall did you say your cousin sister is putting up?" Dan questioned, turning to face Chiharu, as Tettsu snapped photographs with his phone. "It's a painting stall." Tettsu responded before Chiharu could, without losing his concentration on shooting photographs. "How long has it been for you since you've met her?" Naomi asks, her gaze drawn to Chiharu, who stands alongside her. " It's been ten years. The last time I saw her was at Grandpa's funeral." Chiharu says, overwhelmed with nostalgic melancholy. "First I am going to yell at her for not telling me that she was back a month ago and then strangle her in a hug." Chiharu adds with determination, causing the rest of the group to laugh and shake their heads in amazement at how quickly his mood changes.

Rocky, Koo, Kaito, and Kizzy, who was holding her boyfriend's arms, all made their way to the temple and paid their respects. "Hyuga and Daruma Babies don't really disappoint with the scale of festivals." Kaito says with a small smirk, assisting Kizzy as they all descend the staircase. " Indeed. Living up to their famous saying. Right, Rocky-san?" Kizzy says with a big smile, looking at Rocky, who sighs and rolls his eyes. He so wanted to leave this instant hadn't he been tricked into coming here by Kizzy.

Murayama, Furuya, and Seki had parked their bikes and dismounted with big smiles on their faces. " Haven't been here in a long time! Ja! Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest!" Murayama yells out fist in the air as Furuya and Seki nod all extremely excited. Murayama fixes his all-time jacket as the three move inside among the crowds towards the vendors.

Fujio, Shinya, Masaya, Seiji, Arata, and Madoka were all joyfully eating ramen at the diner stall Yuki had set up. "Fujio-san! Fancy seeing you here" a familiar voice from behind. It was none other than the smiling faces of Sachio, Odajima, Jinkawa, Shida, and Shoji of Housen. " Oh! Good to see you all! Welcome! Please have a seat." Fujio exclaimed smiling wide as the five of them dragged the chairs and sat down at the same table. "Where is Todoroki?" Odajima asked looking for his friend as he devoured his noodles. "He went out with Shibaman and Tsuji not long ago to buy something for his younger sister. He finally took her since she was whining to buy something." Shinya said as he picked up the fried chicken his girlfriend Madoka had placed on his plate. "Have you met his younger sister? She is quite adorable! Total opposite of Doroki!" Fujio said gleefully, causing the rest of the group to gaze at him blankly. " Cute, yes. But opposite of Todoroki? Are you kidding!?" Masaya voiced in disbelief as everyone shook their heads in agreement. Todoroki's younger sister was as quiet as him, but she concealed her mischievousness extremely effectively. To the point where it terrified all of the older boys who knew her. She simply knew where and how to use her cuteness. "Oi! You are all just saying things. She is very lovely! Whenever I greet her, she responds so sweetly. She also smiles more frequently than Doroki." Fujio said mouth stuffed with food. "She's like that to only you and you only." Shinya scoffs "She is, in some ways, the polar opposite of Todoroki. I'll acknowledge it." Odajima says, scooping up the chicken to eat.
