The next morning, Yaguchi woke up and pointed his eyes at the ceiling. He thought that, yesterday was a dream. He saw Oono again, and even her appointed husband wants them to be together. This story was more complicated at first sight than The Legend of Zelda's timeline. Fortunately, the reality only tinkled when Oono's eyes met his and they kissed again. Yesterday, when Oono and Yaguchi take a bath, she saw Yaguchi horrible weight drop, which means, he looks like almost a skeleton. She still felt guilty about the situation. If she leave her family, just her sister's does, things wouldn't have come to this.

After getting dressed, a waiter came up to notify them to breakfast is ready. In the dining room, Daniel read the morning news. Although he hated the forced learning when he joined the Fortesque family, there were some things he put to great use, such as learning Japanese in all areas. „Good morning to the young couple. How was your night?" Asked, when both have arrived. Oono only showed his thumb, saying she was great. Yaguchi's reply said otherwise. „It might have been good for her, but she was tickling me all night, caressing me, hitting me, biting me. Then when she got tired of it, she took a nap by pulling the blanket off me and kicking me off the bed twice." After that answer, Oono stepped on his foot. Daniel laughed. „Then I was lucky. I didn't sleep next to her." Oono picked up a cup on the table and tossed it towards her friend, but he avoided it easily. „It's a good thing she doesn't play handball. In that case, anything she throw at me would hit me." Yaguchi laughed at that, but it was just extra anger for Oono. She pick up a cup again and target Daniel's forehead. Her eyes said only one thing. „I won't make the same mistake twice." Then the chef come in to bring breakfast. They immediately stopped fighting, sat down and start the fried bacon, fried eggs and toast. On the halfway to Oono, she scooped over the leftovers on Yaguchi's plate and showed him to eat. „You don't have to, but it's very generous." She, on the other hand, was adamant. Daniel swallowed the bite and looked them. „I don't think she's gonna let you go until you eat it all." „Great." Yaguchi sighed and even he was full, began eating. „At least she cares about your physical condition. To be honest with you, when the first time I saw you, you didn't seem so healthy." then Yaguchi stopped eating. „You are right. Since oono was gone, I almost drove myself to the dead. I kept working to go after her and be with her again, just as I promised. So I pulled all the strings. I went to college, I got a job as a shift manager, and I kept gambling to get the money. I also remember selling three of my very high value consoles and most of my games because I was low on money. And even though my mother tried to help me, I didn't want to drag her into it. Hidaka has advised me so many times to stop for a while I even lost the count." Then Oono embraced Yaguchi and comfort him. Daniel smiled. „I'll tell you the truth about you, Yaguchi. You really deserve the woman who's holding you right now. I know very well what it's like to fight aginst tide." They both looked at him. Even though she knew the reason, she never asked why. Her eyes could read curiosity.

Daniel sighed. It was time to tell them the truth. „Ny life wasn't always about being the son of the CEO of Interbank. When I was little, I grew up in a poor but loving family. When I was six years old, my father, who worked construction, died in an accident. Thus, our financial situation was at the same low point as our mental state. I couldn't go to kindergarten or school. Either I was helping my mom with the sewing shop or I was playing my accordion on the street for money. That's when I fell in love with video games. I kept spending some of the money up in Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition. Now, you may think I've wasted and you're right, but it's only given me some relief." „I understand, and I don't think Oono blames you for this either. Am I right?" Yaguchi asked his girlfriend, who nodded and kept his eyes on Daniel. „Then, when I was ten, my life was turning good. One day my mother had to take two very fancy clothes to a luxury chateu. that's when she met my later stepfather, Morrisons Fortesque. From then on, they were often seeing each other and they were in love. This marriage was a win-win for everyone in theory. The old man had impotence from birth due to his genetic condition, so I could be the heir. My mother wanted to get out of the financial bankruptcy. We all did well, at least my mother thought so. Well, she never asked me after that." Daniel stood up and opened the window, lighting a cigarette. Oono couldn't stand smoking but didn't take the thread out of his hand because it was clear from his hand and his trembling voice that he was angry. „From that moment on, my life became a living hell, which sounds incredible. But I've got a ton of clay on my back, which was at least 16 hours of study and practice. My stepfather did everything he could to be the perfect heir, don't care of what mother or I wanted. And if we did not do what we said, it must have beaten us." The man put down the cigarete and turned his back on them, showed them what he meant. When yaguchi saw that the man had a lot of scars on his back, he was horrified. There were traces of burns and whiplash. Daniel pulled back his top and took the cigarette in his hand again. Then, he continue the sentence. „My mother got worse. Even though I wanted us to leave, I didn't have the courage to tell my mother after a while because I didn't want us to be poor. She died inside slowly, the smallest bit of parental love has gone, and she entered the line. Am I mad at him? No, because I always saw the break in her, and she fell into an infinite loop. Then, when I was sixteen, I began to rebel. This was mainly caused by a friend of my age with whom we had a common goal." „And what is it?" Ask Yaguchi. „To destroy this filthy, despicable, financially rich, but soulless bourgeois layer. let the young people there see that money doesn't need to take their minds off. That's why I support you. Don't get me wrong, Oono. You're a very pretty and smart girl, but I can't compare to you because you already have someone on your level. And I also know that I'm not gonna have a girlfriend because that's not what I want. I'm just a nobody who's got a big purpose in his head." After he finished, they both hugged him, which made Daniel's feel tear up. He didn't cry, the emptiness was so deep because of his past. „I can't believe that you're nobody. Without you I cannot be with Oono. You'll find your true love one day as you fulfill your purpose." Said Yaguchi. Oono cried on Daniel's fate. Her life didn't go easy on her either, but what happened to him was an actual Hell on Earth. When they was released, Hidaka held him from behind. She arrived but no one noticed while Daniel was telling his story. „Thank you, guys. I promise I'll do everything I can to get everything back to normal." Then there were more visitors came in. Makoto Oono, Namire Haruo, Yagiuchi's mother and Rex Fury, the guy, who plays Mokujin at the Tekken 3 Tournament. A sudden flood of acquaintances began. Namire hugged Akira. Yaguchi had always assumed that his mother would be happy to accept both Oonos, as her daughter.

After half an hour daniel cleared his throat. „Ladies and Gentlemans!" „ Sorry for the question, but how did you get here?" Asked Yaguchi. „I called them together." Reply Hidaka. „After leaving you, the best thing to do is to get as many supporters as possible." „And my little boy might need some motherly advice and assistance." Namire smiled and heugged her son. „And I'm happy to roast my mother so they can finally wake up." "Makoto pronounced it firmly, and then poked her sister's face. „Jiya would be here in body as well, but will only support in spirit." Oono sighed. It was yaguchi's head to bury the old driver again. He'll suggest it to Daniel, but that's not the issue at the moment. The host cleared his throat again „Before we started, I want introduce my friend. He's name is James Sullivan, or Rex Fury by his nickname." „Greeting, everyone." Greet cheerfully. with thin body, blond hair, the same age as Daniel, shook hands with everyone. „The whole point of gathering is what the next steps should be. I settled for Akira and Yaguchi to be a couple, but if we do nothing, this state will not last long. We need money, within three moths." No one from the company spoke, just watched Daniel. He continued after a sigh. „The only solution is to raise money from sources that won't warn any parent that something's going on. Ten million USD need." With all due respect, I don't want other people to put their money into what I do." Said Yaguchi, but Hidaka response was clear. „If you were the only one who collected, you wouldn't be gather so much in a decade. In three years,you haven't even made 2 million USD." „Thank you for the update. I hope you're aware that they volunteered for the job. I mean, that's what I asked the beautiful blonde angel, Miss Hidaka. And she do it." She is blushed and nodded. She rarely gets compliments. Makoto raised her hand. „I can put a million yen into my savings." „ Not exactly what I had in mind. Video game tournaments with different money prizes, but other tournaments that are not funded by Interbank is good too." Then everyone started to think. Namire pulled the Japan Video Game Championship magazine out of her bag and started reading it. James raised his hand. „It is said that in March of this year, a tournament will be held with nothing more than two Nintendo World Championship Gray cartridge and a gold cartridge for the first place." Yaguchi hardly wanted to believe his ears. One of the world's most expensive video game relics is offered to competition? That doesn't seem true anymore. Hidaka also raised her hands. „If I remember correctly, Felicia said that the Maru Miye Arcade will hold a Street Fighter Alpha 3 Tournament at the end of February." „Guys! I found something too." Namire said, with his head hidden from behind the magazine. „It says here that in early March there will be a Gran Turismo tournament. It's a pretty good amount offered for the first place." „Then daniel and I will take it. Simulator is always my strong suit." Said James. „That's true. I could never beat you in it." Said Daniel with a smile. „ Then me and Namire take this Nintendo thing." Said makoto confidently. Her sister only looked at him strangely. „ Did you think I didn't know anything about it? I've been playing Famicom since you left." „I'm a fast learner. And when my son's not home, sometimes I sit down to play his consoles." Said Namire, after she close the magazine. „Also, in Shinjuku in April, a Twinkle Star Sprites tournament was announced. I think it's the last one this year." „I heard about that from a colleague of mine." Said Yaguchi. Said yaguchi slapping her head. it was time for him to work out in every competitive video game genre. „ Is there no other news at this time?" Daniel asked, while one of the waiters brought a bottle of champagne and ten glasses. „Nothing else." Said Namire and give the magazine to his son. „All that's left is a toast. For Yaguchi and Oono!" Daniel shouted.

They all drank the champagne and went about their business. It seems that our common goal has brought together an awesome team.
