Mom woke me in the morning per my request, I just snacked on some single toast and changed my clothes before taking my bicycle and getting my ass over to Emma's house. I figured that if we acted like a married couple that prepared breakfast together it would be perceived as a more eminent warning to Draken.

"Since this mission began you have already fallen into my trap Draken!" I was yelling while zooming with my bike, probably terrifying some random pedestrians with my crazy laugh. So I arrived at my destination knocking on the door and leaning over to look like a guy that was visiting his girlfriend, Emma seemed like she had just woken up.

"I'm here to help and act like Draken's love rival." She let me in without much fuss.

"You are quite energetic." I nodded my head while confessing.

"Every time I imagine the shock on Draken's face it gives me more fuel to keep it going." By the look on her face, I could tell she was feeling sorry for his sake.

"I hope your relationship won't be too tense, just because you chose to help me out." Emma seemed to feel guilty about this ordeal.

"Even if we won't be on the best of terms, he's just gonna have to accept me as part of his life." Since we had so many mutual friends.

"He merely gonna have to get accustomed to me, because I'm expecting you to invite me as one of the bridesmaids to your future wedding," I said giving her a toothy smile.

"What are you saying!" she was red in the face probably just considering this scenario.

"You're so adorable," I said while putting her in a hug.

"Since you came here to help with breakfast, let's get moving." we arrived in the kitchen and I saw their grandpa sitting there.

"Is this one of your friends that isn't afraid of Mikey?" I guess that was an occurring concern in this household.

"Well, I guess." Suddenly an offer arrived.

"How about joining our dojo?" Was not being afraid of Mikey equaling to, this person can absolutely fight, or is willing to learn how to?

"Thank you for the offer, but I'm already really busy as it is." Emma then mentioned.

"Right you begin your part-time job soon aren't you?" I nodded my head, I did indeed have a shift today.

"This needs more performance, we need cute aprons the both of us." Thankfully Emma had another one she could give me as a spare.

"Perfect we have the gate-up now let's get moving." We started to prepare the food together, Emma appeared like an expert at it. I guess she was used to making food for this family daily.

"It's fun to do it together like this." I nodded my head, it was quite relaxing.

"Feels like we are gaining more trust in each other," I remarked.

'Would you rather offer to clean the dishes or ask Emma Sano if there is something she needs help with?' I clicked on the second option because I felt safer asking her what needed to be done rather than taking my own initiative.

"Anything else you need help with?" I asked as she thought about it.

"How about you wake up Mikey?" Did she really just request that?

"Excuse me, come again?" She looked me straight in the eyes and repeated.

"Can you wake Mikey up, I thought since he likes you he won't mind." But we just met like twice in our lives, who wouldn't mind a stranger waking them up in their own house?

"Sure, but I won't guarantee a successful outcome." So I was shown to his room, but why couldn't she wait for the beanpole to wake him instead? I stole a glance at his sleeping face.

"A Baby." was the only thing I could see before my eyes. I shook him gently while saying.

"Yo Mikey, Emma wants you to wake up for breakfast." He opened his eyes slightly, and I swear I heard him mutter.

"My favorite pillow." before I was dragged onto the bed, he simply closed his eyes. I tried to get away from his grip but he was so much stronger.

"Yo bro, wake up." No matter how much I was trashing around it didn't work.

"EMMA! Emergency, send backup!" He didn't even budge when I was yelling this loudly. Emma busted thru the door.

"What happened?" she asked.

"It was your idea now get me out of here!" Emma did help me out escaping from his grip and then an idea sparked in my head.

"So that's what kind of dangers lurk in a guy's room that adults kept on warning me about." I tried to keep a straight face, Emma hearing this started to laugh, causing Mikey to finally wake up.

"What's going on?" he asked with a tired voice, he seemed to have spotted my presence.

"Michi, what are you doing here?" to which my clever response was.

"Getting squished to death apparently." Mikey just rubbed his tired eyes still not aware of what was happening around him.

"Since he woke up, let's go back to the kitchen." But as if the world wanted it to happen someone arrived at the door.

"Is that who I think it is?" I asked as Emma smiled and walked to the entrance, as she opened the door there stood our favorite beanpole.

"Well hello there," I said while hugging Emma from the back.

"Why is Michi here?" He asked surprised, aiming his question at Emma instead of the person that literally stood in front of him.

"She helped me with making breakfast today, it was really fun." I just rested my head on Emma's shoulder sending Draken a smirk. I could tell he was annoyed, but he decided to change the topic.

"Is Mikey up?" Emma let him inside and he witnessed how Mikey was at the kitchen table eating a share of his breakfast. Now I could move to part three of my plan, this time I was ready to use Keisuke to my advantage. But wait there was something I could do right here right now, as if the system was thinking about the same thing as I did it suddenly asked.

'Would you rather feed Emma Sano or Manjiro Sano?' I guess Mikey came here just like a filler to represent the illusion of choice, Emma sat down ready to eat, but I snatched her utensil from her hand.

"You gonna let me do this." I guess she saw my reason, so she allowed me to do as I pleased, it being part of my grand scheme. Mikey just stared at us in disbelief. Now Michi it was important to stare at Emma like she was the love of your life. Maybe it would be easier if I gave her some nicknames in my head. A literal angel, sunshine, goddess. I really hoped thinking about those words helped me at least a tiny bit.

"Shhh, is it working?" I asked Emma, as she nodded her head, I guess I could feel someone trying to stare a hole into my head. We just laughed together causing confusion because how could we be so in sync with each other.

'Would you rather kiss Emma Sano on her cheek or her hand?' The cheek would be a stretch, so I went again for the second option. Imagine you are a male lead in a manhwa Michi. I tried to keep a seductive look while putting a kiss on her hand. She pulled me closer while whispering.

"Do you really have to take it this far?" She inquired, as I nodded.

"The universe has spoken." More like the system, but maybe it wanted me to accomplish this mission hence the support.

"Is his veins already popping up in anger?" I asked as she nodded.

"Then let's keep it going." This was fun, I stayed there for another hour. And under this time I heard Draken telling Mikey.

"One shouldn't inflict violence on girls, but this Michi girl is so frustrating." I must have already struck more than just a nerve.

"Has she ever done anything to you?" Mikey retaliated, I guess he couldn't argue with that since besides what took place in front of Wakasa's gym I haven't initiated another fight. Not directly at least, but I sent a few smirks along his way marking my superiority in the matters of love. I felt so accomplished after hearing this conversation, I finally left for my part-time job.

When I arrived home I was expecting Keisuke to be gone, to my surprise, I heard how he went with my parents and Kazutora to his old house to retrieve his items, I couldn't do anything but say.

"You do really live by the bro code." I was astonished by his dedication.

"So how was your part-time job?" Kazutora was shocked that I had one, I guess I never mentioned it to him, it must have slipped my mind.

"Without a hitch, but the manager got weird begging me to consider staying for another month. Something about a few regulars that loved me I dunno." I would probably consider it if it meant more system benefits.

"So have you finished decorating your room now?" I asked Kazutora.

"With his help, it went smoothly," he admitted.

"Sorry for not being here to help you out." he just mentioned it was okay. Well, maybe there were some things he didn't want me to see, like something equivalent to playboy magazines? Suddenly Keisuke decided to suggest something ridiculous.

"How about I stay for another night?" was he dreading going home? I guess his summer vacation also began.

"I mean now you can sleep in Kazu-chan's bed so go for it." But one thought came across my head.

"What about Chifuyu what if he will think you're neglecting him?" His eyes sparkled up, I already knew I committed a terrible sin of giving Keisuke ideas.

"Great idea let's invite him too." No, I created a monster.

"How about asking the host what they think about this concept first?" I went to mom, to ask for permission, though dad heard our conversation.

"The blonde kid with the earring?" I nodded as he gave me a thumbs up allowing such insanity in this house.

"I don't even know what's going on inside my life," I said while returning to Kazutora's room.

"Yo, give him a call, see if he's up to the idea." Chifuyu actually agreed, I guess because Keisuke was so pushy, most likely wanting his two friends to meet. I didn't remember it ever taking place inside the manga, maybe because my existence created different circumstances it finally materialized itself. So Chifuyu arrived.

"Why are you using my room as the hanging spot?" I asked, Keisuke just responded with a simple.

"It's so cozy here, also it's easier to play with Cupid in this room." Why did I have this feeling that Keisuke was this cat's number one choice of future partner? Cupid sent me a knowing look.

"Cupid, if you like Keisuke so much why don't you go follow him instead." It meowed back at me.

"Why do I sometimes have a feeling you two can perfectly understand each other?" Chifuyu questioned, yes I never thought about it, but sometimes I could tell what this cat was thinking about.

"I guess we kinda do."

"So what did he say about the topic of following me home?" I straight out translated.

"It refuses, since you would stay unfaithful, over here is the territory of just one cat alone and he loves it that way." Cupid meowed back as I agreed, yes that made sense.

"Besides there are no maidens that dwell in your domain, so he can't play the cupid by making a maiden fall into your arms." It became eerily quiet.

"Michi are you pulling my leg right now?" Keisuke asked, but I shook my head in denial.

"Listen this cat is always on outlook on sexy single guys in the area, then he steals their belongings making them crawl into my house to retrieve them back. On contrary do you even know how many times this cat jumped on me, making me fall onto a guy, far too many!" Cupid just licked his paws smugly, as if he was proud of his achievements.

"You did witness it before. Therefore accept the reality before your eyes." Kazutora just laughed not believing a single word I said.

"Aren't you falling because of your usual lack of balance?" Chifuyu asked.

"Ugghhh, stay ignorant I guess." I wasn't happy that they ignored the words of wisdom that I gained thru many unfortunate events. These chatterboxes spent more time talking, I decided to make doodles in my sketchbook, yes it no longer had to be filled with the majority of Kisaki's face. Later they decided to include me in the conversation.

"So what are you up to tomorrow Michi?" Were they planning something together?

"Going on a date." All three of them were shocked.

"With who?" I didn't want to tell them.

"A classmate." I ignored their intense stares.

"Are you two dating?" I sighed while putting away the sketchbook.

"No." Did I have to explain the whole progress of how it came to be?

"So why?" I guess there was no other way.

"He rejected me... so I made a deliberate plan to make him accept a deal where the reward would be going on a date with me." I guess they decided to inquire about the details.

"What kind of deal?" Was this becoming another gossip night?

"So we made a deal, that if I get over 90% on every subject on the exam, he would accept on going on a date with me. So I studied like crazy and came onto second place in the whole school, you should have seen his face, he looked like his whole world was falling apart when he found out the results." Chifuyu sighed and asked.

"Why does it feel like you enjoy his suffering?" Oh well, it was because it was true.

"Anyway the date is tomorrow, I will be going to pick him up." I decided to shift the topic to something else.

"By the way, since Keisuke is planning to sleep in Kazutora's bed, do you want to sleep on mine?" I asked Chifuyu, he was caught by surprise. I smirked and patted the bed.

"You're scaring him Michi," Keisuke said as Chifuyu nodded.

"You look like you're planning to do something weird to me." Keisuke was hugging Chifuyu protectively.

"Yes..." I made a dramatic pause. "We could hold hands, but something so lewd is probably too much for your innocent eyes." In the end, he decided to sleep on the bed, I wasn't so sure why he was creating this fuss, because he was actually the first one to fall into slumber.
