On Wednesday morning as I was finishing my breakfast, suddenly a message from Keisuke arrived, telling me how Kazutora answered our letters. He wanted me to drop by again to not only give me the letter but also to write a reply.

"Mom, Keisuke wants me to visit again, I'm not prepared to read the reply given by Kazutora, what should I do?" I pushed away the plate to dramatically fall onto the table.

"Oh dear," she said probably wondering why I reacted so intensely.

"What if he doesn't like me at all, I'm not prepared for such a harsh truth." I felt a hand stroking my head.

"You still haven't even read the letter, I don't think you have anything to worry about." Her words made me feel a little bit better.

"You're such a bright kid, I'm pretty sure if you just stay sincere there is nothing you need to worry about." Was I even sincere in my letter? Or have I been doing this because of the system alone? I wasn't sure which one it was. I just realized that I had a thing for overthinking.

"Okay. I will try to return early home this time around." I wouldn't let the system trick me into staying over too long, there was no way I would ride the motorcycle with Keisuke again.

"Do you think it's possible to visit Kazutora in juvenile? Like can I get a permit to do that?" mother was in deep thought.

"I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be a problem, but since you already keep in contact with your cousin how about asking him if he wants to receive a visit. Once he agrees we can ask father to fix a meeting with you two." I nodded she spoke reason.

"Getting it out of the system made me feel better." it felt nice having someone to speak to about my troubling thoughts. Would there be ever a time I could tell her I had a system that made me do reckless stuff, or would I be sent to a psychiatric hospital? I shook away that thought and took back my plate and finished the rest of the food.

"Thank you it was delicious." I grabbed my bag and went to school after saying goodbye to mom.

Today I didn't get any missions to mess with Kisaki, but occasionally I waved at him, causing him to be at the edge of his seat. I must have struck a nerve because he came over to my desk at the end of the class.

"Can you stop, paying so much attention to me? People in the class are thinking we are dating."

"No can do, also I don't understand why you're so bothered about what they think, just invents your energy into explaining yourself to people that really matter." Like I would care at this point in life what middle school students were thinking about me, they didn't like me so I hardly would invest my energy in them either.

"I mean even if we clear the understanding seeing how entitled some of those brats are they probably won't believe us, hence a waste of time. I rather put my time on the more important stuff, like how do I officially confess my love, do you like love letters, being called onto the roof?" His eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

"You better stop such wasteful thinking, I told you I have someone I like, so stop wasting my time."

"As far I can see, you're still talking to me, so I can conclude I still have a chance." I stood up.

"See ya... or you want a goodbye kiss?" after hearing this he ran away, well at least he could have given me a proper goodbye. I shrugged and started to walk towards Keisuke's house.

Once I reached it I saw his hair floating in the wind, as he was looking frantically around from his window. He caught my gaze and started to send some weird signals. Was I supposed to not go in and go back home?

"You invited someone over didn't you? Is it a girl?!" I heard an adult woman's voice yelling out of the house. A window popped up and it asked me.

'Would you rather hide behind the gate of another house or bend down.' Like bending down would help with anything and I could see the panic in Keisuke's eyes before he disappeared inside. I chose the first option and ran to my hiding spot, while I picked up my phone. Then I spotted a woman looking around from the same window. Heard more muffled screaming which I couldn't understand. I was wondering whether to send Keisuke a message, but what if that was his mother and she somehow found out I was coming over. Remembering how she always was concerned about Baji's grades maybe she thought if he found a girlfriend he would never pick himself up in school.

"Right maybe she saw our messages." But wait she let him out in the night for some gang shit, but girlfriend was a problem?

"Never mind, should I just go home?" I decided to stay just for at least five minutes, hoping Keisuke would update me on whatever he planned to do next. But when I decided it was time to forget about this outing he came over.

"Sorry, I didn't think mother would overreact so much. She found your picture on my phone and totally thought you were my girlfriend or something, even if I told her you were just a friend she didn't believe me. I have no idea how she would react if she knew you were coming over, so we are going to Chifuyu's house instead." He shed light on the situation, and I stood up and we started walking.

"His house is not long away from here." so that's why they were going to the same middle school, that makes sense. Right, my house wasn't that long away from Kisaki's as well.

"Is he okay with us coming over?" Keisuke gave me this uneasy feeling that Chifuyu didn't have any say in this matter.

Unlike me and Keisuke he lived in an apartment, when we rang the bell his mother opened the door for us.

"Chifuyu~ Your friends are here." she looked at me intensely.

"Good evening." In the most polite voice.

"So what's your name dear?"

"Michi Hirabayashi." I said.

"Like the famous lawyer guy, mom," Chifuyu said coming out to greet us.

"I can't believe you are finally getting some friends that aren't delinquents." Considering how the system worked, I guess she was ought for disappointed in the near future.

"Actually I'm not such a good influence myself that's why we found each other." Chifuyu had us take our shoes off while pushing us to his room.

"I'm actually a really bad influence on teenagers. Anarchy! Down with the system! Eat the rich!" She looked quite amused, most likely thinking I said those things to fit in with the guys.

"Don't listen to her mom, she's a diligent student, there is no doubt about it, she just likes to mess with people." I had a lot of complaints but didn't voice them.

"Well here is your letter from Kazutora," Keisuke said as he handed me over the letter after we sat down.

"I'm not sure I'm ready," I said, I could feel my palms sweating. I took a small peek, but only one sentence caused my anxiety to disperse and replace it with fury.

'Yes I do remember you, you were that snooty kid that was following me around whenever we had family gatherings.'

"This little..." I was ready to crumble this letter and chew on the paper, but a single thought brought me back to reality. Wait he had memories of Michi? I decided to read more.

'Sometimes you called me your twin, annoying the hell out of me, I hated you so much, since your family always cared for your so much.' I don't know what caused him to be so honest, but it was a perfect opportunity to ask him if he wanted to live with us, but first I decided to finish reading.

'You should stay away from me, you're so well off in your life, you shouldn't involve yourself with me.' I scratched my head, that was the whole letter?

"Keisuke, is that all? You sure there weren't any more attachments?" he shook his head.

"What did he write?" he asked.

"He just called me annoying snooty kid and said to stay away." It seems like even Keisuke wasn't expecting this development.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you guys have such a strangled relationship." I could tell he was sorry.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not even bothered. Think of it like so... he's trying to push me away because he knows he's a bad influence." At least that's what kind of feeling I got reading this letter.

"Gives off a total tsundere vibes, so what I can do is keep pushing thru." I took a blank paper out of my bag and started to write.

"Hello dear twin, mark my words, I will pay you a visit and we will talk it out. Sincerely Michi." Chifuyu took a quick look saying something about me being incredibly fast.

"Wait you really want to send it, it totally sounds like a threat." I nodded my head.

"Face-to-face interactions will provide better results." I nodded my head being sure this will, work I took out my phone and made a phone call.

"Dad, I want to visit Kazutora, can you make it happen, please? As things stand I don't think he will allow me to visit him so my strategy is pushing forward."

"Anything for my princess," he said I was shocked to hear him call me that.

"Thank you, your the best." I looked at Keisuke.

"Yo, wanna come to visit him as well?" I questioned him as he nodded.

"Great can you also add my friend to the equation?" He hesitated for a while but then agreed upon more pleading. I ended the call.

"Me, you and my family, this Saturday visiting Kazutora, we will pick you up. Don't think about going anywhere else." I said to Keisuke.

"Well I'm done, time to go," I said while stretching.

"Aren't you going to help me out like last time?" he asked, was he perhaps disappointed, but there was nothing I could do since I had higher Luck stats than Intelligence making the system not provide as much help as before, now I had to choose between three different Kanji at times and I found it bothersome.

"But you have Chifuyu." I pointed out.

"Are you worried you won't be of help?" Why was he so persistent?

"Listen, to be honest, I don't even know Japanese, everything is a delusion, I'm speaking thru a device that translates my words." not really suddenly when I was Michi I could speak Japanese it was just the writing I had trouble with grasping.

"That's not a convincing lie," Chifuyu said he looked disappointed as if he wanted me to step up my giving excuse game.

"You can just be honest and admit you have a hard time spelling we understand." I sighed, what was I even thinking there was no way they would believe me.

"Sure, sure." I sat down and watched Chifuyu help Keisuke with his spelling as they were occupied, I whipped out my sketchpad and started to draw, both Chifuyu and Keisuke from various angles.

"Oh let me see!" Before I could register what was happening my sketchbook was snatched from my palms.

"Oh, you're really good." I saw him flipping thru the other pages, but because I only began there was only what I had drawn today and endless sketches of Kisaki.

"Who's that guy?" Keisuke asked as I felt like my secret was out of the bag.

"My classmate." I hoped they wouldn't ask more questions.

"He looks like a total delinquent, wait you like him don't ya?" I just blinked in confusion.

"What made you come up with such a ridiculous conclusion?" I asked Chifuyu.

"I mean you filled 5 pages with only his face." I shrugged because I didn't feel like explaining anything.

"Well, he already rejected me, whatever."

"That's rough buddy."Chifuyu soon said. When I heard this exact phrase I knew I couldn't miss my opportunity.

"At least my girlfriend didn't turn into the moon, so it's cool bro." Of course, they wouldn't get it.

"Since Keisuke is done, I'm going home. Have fun." I wouldn't let them stop me this time around.
