At home, Ikki receives a text from Airi.
Airi (Text): Hello there.
Airi (Text): Are you busy right now?
Ikki (Text): I'm not.
Ikki (Text): Do you need anything?
Airi (Text): I was wondering if we could meet up at Yokohama Central?
Ikki (Text): Are you asking me out on a date?
Airi (Text): W-W-What!? Of course not!
Airi (Text): I'm just a friend asking her friend to hang out. That's all.
Ikki (Text): Are you sure?
Airi (Text): Y E S!!!
Ikki (Text): Fine. I'll be there.
Airi (Text): Good. See you there at the Shopping mall at 3pm.
Ikki decides to get changed and head over to Yokohama Central.
At Yokohama Central, Ikki at the Shopping mall entrance waiting for Airi.
Ikki: Sheesh. What's taking her so long. (Did something happened to her? Maybe I should look for her.)
She finally arrived.
Airi: Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ikki: What did you call me for?
Airi: I need to go on a shopping spree, and I need some extra hands to help me carry my stuff.
Ikki: Okay, but why did you call me?
Airi: Are you clueless? I need YOU to carry my stuff!
Ikki: You're asking ME, a shut-in neet to carry stuff around? Have you seen me? My arms look like noodles.
Airi: A good opportunity for you as well. You're a man, time for you to start building up some muscle.
Ikki: ...O-O...
The two of them traveled across the entire shopping mall, with Airi buying clothes, perfume, accessories, and other nick-nacks. The amount of stuff Airi bought really pushed Ikki's body beyond it's limits.
Airi: You can drop them here.
Ikki quickly falls to the ground completely out of breath.
Airi: You seriously need to go to the gym.
Ikki: I... never took you for the big spender type...

Airi: Even I want to look my best every now and then.
Ikki: You? You never seemed like that type of person.
Airi: W-Well... Anyways, thank you for your help, I much appreciated.
I can feel Airi's trust in me.
I decided to call it a day and head home. I feel like helping out Airi with her shopping has increased my.
Airi and Ikki had just exited the movie theater after watching a horror movie. Ikki walks out like it was nothing.
Ikki: That was pretty boring.
Airi on the other hand, she was walking out with shivers.
Airi: ...T^T... That was so scary...!
Ikki: It wasn't that scary.
Airi: Yes it was! Were you even paying attention?
Ikki: I played a lot of horror games over the years. Trust me, I've seen way worst.
Airi: Man, even though you supposedly have been a shut-in your whole life, you act like you've seen the world... How ironic.
Ikki: What do you mean?
Airi: It's nothing, really. Let's go eat something, shall we?
They stopped by the ramen shop.
Airi: I think I'm starting to have a soft spot for ramen. It's so simple, yet, sophisticated.
Then Airi looks at the menu.
Airi: Hey, check it out! "The Spicy Mega-Bowl Challenge." If you can finish it within 30 minutes, you get a free meal. Ikki-kun, you should try it out.
Ikki: Are you crazy? Do you see the size of that thing? How do you expect me to finish over 15-pounds worth of food? Why can't you do it?
Airi: Are you crazy? You don't ask a lady to finish 15-pounds of food.
Ikki: Still...
Airi: I get it... This little game is too much for you.
Ikki: Game?
Airi: Yeah, believe it or not, these food challenges are very competitive games. But I guess this is too much for your sensitive stomach.

Ikki: Bring the bowl here.
Airi: Huh?
Airi: W-Woah... So much meat, meat, broth, and bean sprouts! You can barely see the noodles.
Ikki gets his chopsticks ready.
Airi: Wait! You know I was just joking, right?
Ikki: (Wait. This bowl...) It takes to accept it as a whole, to set the proper pace, to attack the mountain of meat and the to eat effectively. All these skills are needed to finish of the MEGA-RAMEN BOWL!
Airi: Are you sure this isn't too much for you?
Ikki: Watch. I will clear this with no continues!
Ikki starts eating fast, surprising Airi, who was mouth-open out of astonishment.
Airi: Do you have a black hole for a stomach or something?
People started gathering around as Ikki was finishing off the bowl, eventually, he completed the challenge.
Airi: Ikki-kun! That was amazing.
Ikki: There's no game I can't clear.
Ikki's stomach was crying out in pain, but he tried his best to hide it.
Ikki: Am I awesome or what?
I feel my bond with Airi growing deeper.
Airi suddenly gets a phone call.
Airi: Excuse me, I gotta take this.
She then answers the call.
Airi: Yes? ...What? Now?
Ikki: Huh?
Airi: I thought we already talked about this? I already have plans for today... That doesn't mean I have to adjust my schedule to yours every single time!
...
...
...
Airi: I understand... Sorry. I'll be on my way.
Then she hangs up.
Airi: Sorry you had to see that.
Ikki: What was that just now?
Airi: Nothing. Hey, I just remember. There's some stuff I gotta do at home. Thanks for hanging out with me today.
Then Airi runs off. Leaving a confused Ikki.
I feel like that ramen bowl challenge has increased my,, and .
Then Ikki decides it's time to go home. He never ate anything else for the remainder of the day.
Igor: What will you be having this time?
Ikki: Agatha, what do you think?
Agatha: I recommend The Rising Sun. It's very good.
Ikki: Then I'll have that.
Agatha: Coming right up.
Agatha mixes Hua Po and Berith into a cocktail.
Agatha: Enjoy.
Agatha: Enjoy.
Ikki: Thanks.
Ikki consumes the drink. Giving birth to a new Persona.
Agatha: Whoa... so majestic.
Ikki: I feel a lot better now.
Ikki has welcomed Suzaku into his heart.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D
