Pian0Fr3ak: Completely unrelated question, but just so I'm sure, does "bf" mean Boyfriends or Best friends in this scenario?

PlainAsDay: Sort of both?

PlainAsDay: I mean I thought she and Hajime were dating, and she seems kinda clost to Komaeda too...

Pian0Fr3ak: ok, no worries, I was just asking

J0K3R: Omf, Hajime looks stupid with that white mustache...

Sweetchi: No, I mean for Hajime

PlainAsDay: Is it his birthday?

Writers Note:

I kind of wish people would stop badgering Sword and Shield. The games aren't THAT bad to the point where you have to force your ideals onto everyone else and be like "Uh, the game sucks ass. Uh, the graphics are bad. Uh, STOP ENJOYING THIS GAME!"

By the by, Kirumi isn't here for two reasons. She's busy and she probably hasn't played Pokemon, so she cant really provide her input.

Anyway, this chapter was sort of just a love letter to fans of Pokemon, and also that really cute Christmas image I found of Chiaki, Hajime and Nagito that I used at the beginning.

And as I head onto the next chapter, I'll leave u with this one below, so see you latr ;)
