Once I was done with my part-time job on Sunday I decided to dispatch my plan of making Draken confess his undying love for Emma into motion. I have been sending single flowers to Emma regularly since that day we met since bouquets would be a stretch, today I even dropped off the painting I was working on. Thankfully neither Mikey nor Draken were present at her residence, good if he didn't know what his rival in love looked like, he may have accumulated just a tiny scare.

"I mentioned the flowers to Draken recently, he was curious who the sender was, but I told him it was a secret." Good, that was a good move taken by her.

"Now you can brag about the painting to your brother, hopefully in your crush's presence," I instructed her to brag about all the things she obtained from me. Gotta make the man jealous, I guess it never worked for Emma before because Draken could tell no one was serious, so now I would cause him to tremble in his boots.

"You really seem to have planned even the smallest of detail? At this point, I doubt you're a fool more like a whole strategist in love." Emma said and that was a comment I decided to accept.

"Thank you, next we should invite them over to a karaoke place, I hope your brother Mikey will join us, we can then instruct him to drag Draken alongside him." I nodded I decided the best time would be on Wednesday or Thursday since we planned to celebrate finishing writing the exams.

"You want me to invite him now?" she asked as I shook my head.

"We should use the element of surprise, we will invite them once we are at the spot." She nodded trusting me fully in my bulletproof plan.

"What needs to be done today is that I will let my trusted birdie spread rumors that someone has a crush on you."

"By saying trusted birdie you mean Baji?" She asked as I nodded.

"Yep and Chifuyu as well... is there anyone else your crush is close with, besides your brother, by chance maybe I know them?" I was hoping for her to say his name.

"Hmmm... I guess Mitsuya they're pretty close."

"Is his full name Takashi Mitsuya?" Emma nodded her head.

"Great I know him too!" I was pumped, maybe Mitsuya would be the better matchmaker.

"Why do you know so many of my brother's gang members, first it was Baji and Chifuyu, then there's Peh-yah as well, and now Mitsuya." she gave it some thought.

"Don't say you know Smiley and Mucho too?" since I wasn't supposed to know their aliases I just remarked.

"Well you could describe their appearance to me, maybe it will spark my memory."

"Smiley, fluffy peach-colored hair-" I cut her off since that was too easy.

"Is his name by any chance Nahoya Kawata?" she nodded her head.

"Then I know him, but I'm closer to his twin brother." or at least I spent more time with him.

"Then Mucho, tall, muscular, blonde undercut hair with bushy eyebrows and turquoise eyes." I nodded my head.

"Muto?" I asked his name in one of the messages but never got to the topic of repaying him since I had so much going on already.

"Yes, yes..." she said being shocked at the fact that I knew him too.

"I'm surprised you know him also, he's a person that seems hard to approach." I decided to share my story.

"Oh well he's my savior so..." the more I spoke the more astonishment appeared on her pretty face.

"Saviour, it's hard to imagine."

"He's really nice, gives off this big brother aura. He gave me a ride when I fell off my bicycle."

"That settles it you know all the captains from Mikey's gang, the last person you met with me is Pah-chin."

"The guy with the fluffy doggo?" I asked as she nodded.

"I wonder what they will think when they realize they all know you." I just shrugged my shoulders, I was out here just doing my missions.

"I will call up Chifuyu now and proceed with the plan."

"I think they're having their gang meeting right now." I had to take my chances. I started to call Chifuyu as soon as he picked up the first thing he dared to say was.

"I'm surprised you're calling me Michi."

"What are you feeling neglected as my friend? Do you want me to shower you more with love?" It was free real estate to say the sweetest of things.

"Who's the sweetest boy I know? Cinnamon roll, Pumpkin pie, Sugarplum." He didn't dare to utter a sound thereafter. So I had to wait for a solid minute to finally hear him say.

"Michi, just tell me what you want!" Suddenly I heard a lot of scuffle on the other end of the call, I think I heard my name being spoken on repeat, once it calmed down, Chifuyu finally asked.

"Yo, how many of our gang members do you even know?" I stopped, did just one mention of my name cause a stir in their gang hangout?

"Emma made me realize that I knew like every captain of your so-called gang." to which he added.

"Geez you even know nearly every vice-captain as well, the only ones that don't know you are the fifth vice-captain and of course the leaders of our group. Some people suspected you were sent by another gang to spy on us." I rolled my eyes.

"Can we meet up, after you're done coming up with the most nonsensical conclusions?" What else would they come up with?

"Sure, sure I really want to hear from you how this happened." Chifuyu seemed excited.

"Just the most common human interactions, take Keisuke with you and ask Taka-chan to tag along." Chifuyu sounded confused but we decided on a meeting place.

I was sitting at some park waiting for their arrival, only to witness a bigger group than anticipated. Not only were the three guys I asked for here, but also the twins, Hakkai, Peh-yah, and even Mucho.

"What's with the party?" I asked confused to why so many people wanted to see me.

"I and Mucho just wanted to make sure that you're not a spy from another gang," Nahoya said having that smirk on his face that made me wonder if he was angry.

"So in your head, you think someone would entrust such an important mission to a klutz such as myself?" I then grabbed his hand on placed it on my arm.

"You feel it, no muscle whatsoever! Like what I am gonna do? Annoy the information out of you?" Nahoya then nodded.

"Sounds like a plausible possibility." he just laughed when I glared at him.

"Such a cute individual as myself couldn't be a spy." I resorted back and looked at Keisuke for backup.

"She can't be a spy guys, she likes me too much to betray my trust. Actually, you should join our gang Michi! You can be under my division then!" He put his arm around my shoulder.

"I don't even know how to fight-" before I could give him another excuse he cut me off.

"But you're learning how to fight from the 'White Leopard' he must have seen potential in you if he decided to train you right?" I sighed in defeat.

"Senju made him train me, also I'm too busy to attend sausage parties." Nahoya started to cackle at the last part.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Mitsuya asked, oh right I lost track of my original mission. I stood up and dragged him away from the others.

"What's with the secrecy?" Nahoya asked, was he again getting suspicious of me?

"Shush, I have something to say only to him!" I yelled back.

"Taka-chan you've just got upgraded to my partner in crime."

"What kind of crime would you like to commit even?" What could you possibly call this?

"Fraud." he looked concerned for a moment.

"Don't think too much into it, just do as I say." I showed determination on my face.

"I'm listening." Good, that was good, that he thought I was too much too handle so he couldn't refuse.

"Subtly tell Draken that someone you know has a crush on Emma and will try to confess their love to her soon." Mitsuya was hesitating.

"And who could that person be?" he asked.

"Me," I said giving him a cheeky smile. He gasped loudly getting attention from the other guys that were still staring in our direction.

"Wait so let me get this clear you're doing this for what? Have Draken confess to Emma?" I nodded my head.

"I knew you would be the perfect assistant to my plan."

"Do you really think that would work?" He asked me, he probably knew Draken more than me, but I knew I could see this plan thru.

"Don't worry posing as I'm there to steal his girl before his eyes shouldn't be that difficult."

"Actually why not I want to see if you will pull this thru." We suddenly did a fist bump and returned to the group.

"What was that about Taka-chan why do I feel like you two became closer?" Hakkai was now hugging Mitsuya while glaring at me.

"Because we did." I stuck my tongue at him, and as he was dramatizing my response, my head turned to Angry.

"Souya, why haven't you messaged me since we last saw each other?" Why was he refusing to look at me?

"I was busy." Was his response.

"Oh right the exams are around the corner, how are your studies going?"

"Good." This conversation was going nowhere.

"Ryohei-Kun, if you have time I can return your manga to you today."

"You have finished all of them?" He asked as I nodded.

"But wouldn't that mean that you will let him into your house?" Keisuke questioned as I reluctantly nodded.

"No, I should be the first one to have the privilege." What for? What does that even accomplish?

"Sorry to tell you this, but Souya already beat you to it. Nahoya and Mucho also know where I live."

"Betrayal! We're going to your house right now!" Chifuyu suddenly demanded. I wasn't happy with this outcome, but I had no might to deny him, beside a mission just popped up.

'Would you rather run away in this situation or ask the others if they want to visit your house?' I clicked on the second option.

"Sure, whatever, who else is coming?" Mitsuya said he had something to do, Hakkai of course followed him, Mucho didn't feel like joining. So it was Chifuyu, Keisuke, Ryohei, Souya, and Nahoya who were left. We walked to their bikes and I made sure to let mom and dad know we would have guests.

"Come ride with me," Keisuke said as I stepped away.

"No thank you, I will join Souya instead." at least I could trust him to not give me another heart attack besides he knew which way to take.

"Take the lead with your brother, no one else knows my address," I told him as Souya nodded, so we drove off. Once we arrived they parked their bikes in our driveway.

"Welcome home~" was the first thing I heard upon entering.

"I'm home~" I responded back but then added.

"With guests."I let them all in, and I then guided them upstairs and into my room. Before I walked in tho, I opened the door, making sure I wasn't standing in the door frame. As I predicted this cat tried to launch itself onto me, causing my fall.

"Not today," I said catching him midair as it was wagging his tail in anger because it failed his mission.

"Maybe you should release it, your cat looks pissed," Keisuke said, but I dismissed him.

"I told you already this cat is not normal." I had a conspiracy theory, I was sure this cat was sent to me by the system.

"It may look cute and fluffy, but only strange ideas pop in its head." Keisuke didn't seem to believe it.

"It's probably just like any other cat." I decided to shatter his reality.

"I don't know, does Chifuyu's cat steal stuff from people around his age and then bring the said items to him, in a deliberate scheme to then trip one of the persons onto the other?"

"Wait are you for real?" Nahoya asked as he was cackling again, at this point I must have been some kind of comedian in his eyes.

"No, it doesn't," Keisuke admitted, I handed the cat to him. And walked to the spot I left the manga books and handed them over to Ryohei.

"Thank you for lending me those," I told him, but then I saw in the corner of my eyes how Keisuke let Cupid go, and now it was dashing from one corner of the room to another like a madman, causing disturbance for everyone. I tried to catch him, but he dashed at Souya and attacked his leg, causing him to fall. I wasn't even sure how I managed to be the one to save him from falling.

"There you go, are you happy now?" I asked both Cupid and Keisuke, I could swear that cat winked at me yet again.

"Jail time for the kitty." I let Souya go and picked up the gremlin that was trying to win me over with its cute eyeballs.

"You're not allowed to attack Souya, let Keisuke be your next victim."

"Hey!" Then mom brought some snacks for the guys, and I thanked her. They stayed for a while, Ryohei asked what kind of mangas I liked saying he would come dropping off the next volumes, suddenly it became a manga community discussion where everyone was giving me tips on what to read next. But then the topic suddenly shifted to my part-time job.

"Wait you're already working?" Chifuyu asked as everyone was shocked.

"What kind of place would even give you a chance?" Nahoya asked.

"A maid cafe." Nahoya then looked at his brother smirked and then looked back at me.

"Tell us the place and time we will come to see you there!" I sighed and gave them my whole schedule. I didn't think they would stay over so long, but they did.

"How about we stay over?" Keisuke asked as Chifuyu tried to drag him along telling him how bad of an idea it was.

"Just go, you have school to worry about tomorrow."

"Does it mean it's okay if it's some other day?!" I pushed him out of my house myself.
