(A/N): Reader will be lying a lot to Shizuo in this chapter because she will be pretending not to know about him so that he doesn't view her as a weird person.

"So, where do you wanna head to first?" The strong man stretched his arms as he replied.

"If this is Ikebukuro, then that means Sunshine City and the other buildings should be here too." I pointed to the street in front of me.

"Let's take the 60-dori street and head into the central area then." I pulled out my phone and checked the time. It read 9:48 AM. Stores start opening around 10, so I prepared myself for the crowd to grow large, especially since it was the weekend. As we walked down the long street, Shizuo kept turning his head and pointing at some buildings that he came across before he ended up here.

"That's Cinema Sunshine, where my younger brother had his movie advertised. Maybe he's on there." Shizuo headed towards the entrance and observed the movies that the cinema offered. Not a single movie had Kasuka's face on it. "Nevermind, he's not on there." Shizuo turned back towards me and we continued walking.

"Shizuo! There's Sunshine City!" I pointed at the blue building ahead of us. He ran up to it and I followed.

"I remember being here! This is what it exactly looked like! There were street lights that lined the street just like this! And there was also a store called Tokyo Hand right by it." When Shizuo looked up, confusion painted his face. "Huh? Tokyu Hands? Why is it called Tokyu Hands? It was always Tokyo Hand."

"Maybe the owners changed the name of the store. From what I remember though, it was always Tokyu Hands." Shizuo furrowed his brows in frustration.

"That's strange." He turned around and moved away. I went around in front of him.

"Shizuo, we should go somewhere that's unique. Maybe you'll remember it better. Do you know any stores or buildings that looked out of the ordinary?" Shizuo thought hard before taking my hand and rushing down the street. "Wah! Where are we going?!" Shizuo looked at me over his shoulder.

"There's this building. Actually it's a restaurant. You can't miss it. It's called Russia Sushi. The building looks so out of place." I gasped while he pulled me through the various crowds of people.

"Russia Sushi? But there is no Russia-" Shizuo suddenly stopped and let go of my hand. "Huh? Shizuo? What happened?" Shizuo silently stood in front of what was supposed to be Russia Sushi. Once I realized why he stopped, Shizuo started to speak.

"It's gone...Russia Sushi is gone. It's now a clothing store..." Through the opened garage door, racks of shirts, jeans, and other articles of clothing lined the inside of the store. Customers were walking right and left, taking escalators up and down to explore the clothing store. Plastered on the front of the building was a teenage female model, advertising the latest style of skinny jeans and other fashionable clothes. There were no signs of sushi chefs or anything.

"I know it was here! It had to be! I go to Russia Sushi all the time with my friend Tom! How come it's gone?!" Shizuo gritted his teeth in anger as he stared at 'Russia Sushi'.

"I know. I remember watching you and Tom eat here during your debt collecting." Shizuo swiftly turned his head to face me. He gave me a suspicious look.

"Wait. How do you know that?" I became flustered as I tried to change the subject.

"Oh no reason! No reason at all! You don't need to worry about it!" I waved my hands in front of my face to signal the dismissal of the subject. "The funny thing is, I've been to this clothing store before. Yukiya sells good clothes." Shizuo gave me an annoyed look saying, "Really?"
