Akechi felt his arm being tugged, looking over to see on of his fangirls was trying to pull him towards her as the crowd grew larger around him. He felt like he was going to be devoured by all these young girls as he tried to pull his arm out from the grip of his fan. Someone shoved their phone in his face to take a photo, the flash temporarily blinding him.

Once he got his arm out, he began to push through the crowd carefully as they grabbed his shoulders and clothes, trying to get a piece of him. Once he was out of the crowd, he turned to them with a soft grin, "Please, everyone, one at a time, I'd be happy to take photos and sign autographs for all you, but please don't ambush me."

Akira got off his train, his hands in his pocket as he walked up the stairs to the underground walkway. As he got closer to the top, he heard screams of excitement, catching his attention as he looked over at the sound. His eyes grew slightly bigger at the sight of The Ace Detective Goro Akechi, wondering what he was doing taking the train. He noticed all the girls bombarding him for photos and autographs, so he decided to wait it out to approach him.

As he waited, he bought a smoothie and sent a few texts between him and Ryuji explaining he might be a little late. After thirty minutes of waiting, he saw a blue and white vest walk past him, causing him to look up and seeing Akechi walking away with a tired look on his face. Quickly, he locked phone and reached out to the detective, "Um, excuse me.. Ace Detective."

Akechi rolled his eyes, before turning and smiling at the boy, "Yes?"

Akira grinned, "I'm sorry to bug you, but I was wondering if I could get a picture with you." He pointed to his phone, hoping he wouldn't get rejected. Akechi sighed slightly, then nodded his head. Excitedly Akira opened up his camera and held out his phone. Akechi grinned shyly as Akira smiles widely, snapping the pic of the two. "Thank you so much, Akechi-san!"

Once the photo was taken, Akechi smiled at Akira then turned to walk away. Akira had much more to say, but didn't want to push his luck, he was sure he was tired already from dealing with all those girls. He looked at their photo, grinning at the outcome. He put his phone in his pocket and began his commute to meet Ryuji and Yusuke at the arcade.

Once he walked into the arcade, he saw the two sitting and waiting impatiently at the slot machine. Ryuji rolled his eyes as he stood up, "C'mon man.. it's been an hour already. What took so long?"

"Sorry, I got caught up with something." He showed them the photo he took with Akechi, Ryuji squinting at the photo as Yusuke tapped his chin.

"Who is this?" Yusuke asked, intrigued.

"Dude do you live under a rock?" Ryuji mumbled as he shook his head, "That's Goro Akechi. You made us wait just to get a stupid photo?"

Akira chuckled nervously as he scratched the back of his head, Yusuke beginning to ask who Akechi was as Ryuji groaned.

After a couple hours of playing games, the three friends said their goodbyes and headed their separate ways back home. Akira decided to stay in the area for dinner, deciding upon some Big Bang Burger. As he waited in line, he debated on whether he wanted a normal burger or a cheeseburger, then decided on a jumbo cheese burger.

He felt somebody bump into him, causing him to turn around and see Akechi once more. "Oh, I'm sorry, I was on my phone." He quickly apologized, lowering his phone from his face. Suddenly, he smiled, "Hey, I ran into you earlier, what a small world."
