From Past To Future

Future

Isogai's house

"Whoah whoah whoah!! Calm down there!! Just what are you going to chop with that butcher knife?? Where did you get that anyway?! I never had one!!"

"..... I'm done. I give up. Cooking is just not my forte."

"Oh but believe it or not, you're a great cook in the future!! Besides, your cooking now is...... not that bad....?"

"What are you talking about?? 'not that bad'?? How was me, accidentally replaced water with vinegar, salt with sugar, teaspoon with tablespoon, tomato with chili, and almost chop the cutting board with the cabbages altogether just now was 'not that bad'?? I don't even want to know what the food would taste like!!"

"Well, we replaced it properly even though it wasted so much of my ingredients, so it was a okay. The scariest thing you forgot to mention was that you went insane when chopping and pointed that knife at me, and not just pointed it at me, you threw it like we were part of the circus. Not to mention you juggled the knifes too like a pro."

"Don't remind me of that...."

"Okay okay, let's fix this. Yuuma is going to be real mad at the mess, but don't worry about it~"

"...."

A few hours of mess later

"Phew~ We're finally done. You must be really working hard in the future, cuz from a very.... okay skill to a top chef skill, it was a huge difference."

"Shut up. Now that we're done now, what are we going to do now?"

"Shota-chan and Mii-chan must have been out of school now, i've texted Gakushuu-kun, let's go."

*ting!*

'Hiroto told me that we're having dinner at his place? I'll come as soon as i'm finished and remember to pick Shota up together with Hiroto when he's about to pick Miiyu up.'

'okay.'

The fact that I feel comfortable with all these stuffs happening here disturbed me. Why do I feel like I really want to be here? That I want to be part of this dimension, to be belonged here... Even though it's not right...

"Mama!!" (Mii)

"You're the one who pick up huh. Why are you with Isogai ji-san?" (Shota)

"As polite as usual huh." (Karma)

Karma threw his cellphone with Gakushuu's message in it at Shota, who caught it skillfully. He went silent after reading it.

"Hey Hey!! What's with this mood here?? Are you guys going to ruin the feast with this mood??"

"Yeah!!"

"That's my Mii-chan !!<3"

"Don't need to mind us Isogai ji-san, what is this feast for again?"

"Yuuma had a promotion."

"Liars. Everyone knows that he is the founder of the company, he gives promotion."

"Have I been found out? You're smart Shota~"

"So what is the feast for?"

"Nothing special actually. We always have a feast. Let's just think of this feast as your welcoming feast~ Now enough talk and let's go!!"

"Go!! <3"

Karma and Shota shared a bored face before following Mae-*ehem* Hiroto quietly from behind.

Isogai's house

"I'm home. Oh and I met Gakushuu-kun by the door... Uhm... Is today somebody's birthday?"

"Welcome home Yuuma. And no, it's just a feast as usual, but with a real point this time!! It's a welcoming feast and just celebrated by the four of us. Plus two kids."

"Welcoming feast? Who?"

"Of course our main guest here... Akabane Karma!!"

"Just wh- Wait... 'Akabane'?"

"Yuuppp, A. Ka. Ba. Ne. Karma. Isn't that right, Gakushuu-kun~"

"Afraid so."

"Just what does it mean..?"

"Hehe. You'll know soon, tomorrow, to be exact my dear~ Together with everyone. Anyway! I'm getting hungry now and we cooked a bunch, so eat up!!"

"Wait. 'we'??"

"Yup. 'We'. Both me and Karma."

"I-is the food edible?? Like I know he's a great cook in the future, but totally not in the past, i'm concerned."

"Well we had a little problem but I can assure you that it's 100% edible!!"

"Why do you always have to waste lots of ingredients every time?? Like we have a feast every. Single. Day. For no particular reason."

"Of course there's a reason to it!! We have to be grateful for every moment we have together!! Now shush and let's eat. The kids had been quiet for a while, they must be hungry"

"Yash~"

"My little princess is really hungry huh, let's dig in then!"
