The group ended up returning home. Matsuri got dropped off at her apartment along with her friends while the others ended up heading to their home. Matsuri stepped out and sighed deeply
Finally home! Yay!
"That was amazing!" Asher said
"Haha! I never had so much fun in my life" Sakira giggled
"Thanks Matsuri for inviting us. It was great" Lina said
"I have to admit it was annoying especially because of that cousin of yours but it was fun" Brono said
"Oh he wasn't so bad" Furto said
"He was hella annoying" Brono said
"Don't talk like that about Juhin. I know he was annoying but if you get to know him more then you will like him" Matsuri said
"Let's just head inside and take a little break" Sakira said
"Sure" Matsuri said
"Ugh that night was amazing right?" Asher said and chuckled softly
"It sure was" Furto said
"Especially since Brono and Lina were together" Asher said as he laughed
"Hey! Shut up!" Lina and Brono exclaimed. Matsuri rolled her eyes and laughed at her friends. The group went inside Matsuri's apartment and laid down on the couch
"Haaaaa I'm exhausted..." Furto groaned
"Me too" Sakira said and yawned
"Hey Matsuri you don't mind if we stay here for a bit right? We'll leave in a bit" Lina said
"Sure" Matsuri said as she smiled
"Thanks!" Asher said and sighed deeply as he laid down on the couch with Sakira in his arms
"Can we play some video games?" Brono asked
"Yeah sure" Matsuri said and walked to the TV to connect her console. After connecting the console, the group began to play. Matsuri only sighed deeply as she looked down a bit
What happened with Mitsuko? She didn't want to come at all...why? Jealousy? Well...I suppose so since she's competing against Mei. Though Mitsuko is stronger than Mei...
Lina was laughing along with her friends and noticed Matsuri. She started to realize that Matsuri looked upset
Huh? What happend with Matsuri? She was happy right? Wait...I completely forgot about the thing that Matsuri was in. She is torn apart by those two...
"Hey Lina is everything okay?" Brono asked
"Y-yeah it's just...I have to talk with Matsuri about something" Lina said as she stood up from the couch and walked up to her
"Hey Matsuri...can we talk in your room for a bit? Please?" Lina asked
"H-huh? Uhm sure" Matsuri said
"Okay" Lina said and walked away with Matsuri heading to her room. Brono only watched the two leave and go into the room
What's going on? Is Lina still not over her? B-but...I thought she was over her already...does this mean...we will never be together?
"Hey Brono is everything okay?" Furto asked as he noticed his worried expression
"H-huh? Uh yeah I'm fine" Brono said and chuckled softly as he rubbed the back of his neck
"Hehe is this about Lina?" Asher asked
"Shut up..." Brono said as he looked down
"Just ask her out already" Furto said
"But what is she rejects me?" Brono asked
"You won't know if you try" Asher said
"Take her to some place romantic and ask her out. Maybe express your feelings and tell her how you feel about her" Sakira said
"Ugh it's just...ugh it's hard okay?" Brono said and looked away
"You're the one making it seem hard" Furto said
"Just take her somewhere romantic and maybe she'll start gaining feelings for you" Sakira said. Brono blushed and shook his head
I guess that could work...
Meanwhile in Matsuri's room, the two women were sitting down on the bed
"So what's going on?" Lina asked
"Huh? Wh-what are you talking about?" Matsuri asked
Shit! Did she find out or something like that?
"Is it about those two?" Lina asked. Matsuri's eyes widen and turned to look at her
"So I'm right..." Lina said. Matsuri sighed deeply and looked down
"Yeah...pretty much" Matsuri said rubbing the back of her neck
"Heh thought so. I mean you looked upset..." Lina said
"I guess I couldn't hide it..." Matsuri said as she laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling
"You're still struggling with them?" Lina asked
"Yes..." Matsuri said as she looked down
"Heh...well I guess it's hard to decide especially since they are your fated mates" Lina said
"Yeah...and in the end...I'll hurt one of them" Matsuri said
"You should stop worrying about hurting them and worry more about which one is right for you. Yes I know it'll hurt at first but they should respect your decision if they love you right?" Lina said
"Yeah you're right..." Matsuri said and her phone vibrated getting a message
Hm? A message from who?
Matsuri reached her arm out and grabbed her phone checking who it was
"Who was it?" Lina asked
"It's Nitski..." Matsuri lied
If I tell her it's from Mei then she's going to ask and won't stop bothering me about it. I should change the topic...
"When will you and Brono start dating?" Matsuri asked. Lina's eyes widen and blushed deeply
"E-eh!? What the hell are you talking about?!" Lina exclaimed
She's trying to change the fucking topic! What the hell?! And why on earth is she asking me this?!
"I mean you two did sorta get along back there" Matsuri said
"Sh-shut up and stop trying to change the topic" Lina growled
"I wasn't trying to change anything. I'm just curious because during the trip the two of you were actually getting along or well...sorta getting along. I mean yes there were a few times where you wanted to murder him and all but in the end the two of you seemed like you had fun together" Matsuri said and smirked
"Stop it Matsuri. It will never happen besides...w-we're just friends" Lina said and blushed
"But you want it to be more than that right?" Matsuri asked
"W-well...not really but k-kinda Ugh! Look what you did Matsuri!" Lina said
"Now what did I do?" Matsuri asked. Lina only blushed as she covered her face
"So you do like him back?" Matsuri asked
"M-maybe a little..." Lina said and blushed deeply. Matsuri laughed a little and sat up on her bed
"Why have my you two gone out? Are you two really scared to ask each other out?" Matsuri asked
"I-I guess but I'm not really sure if I like him that way..." Lina said
"You won't know if you don't try" Matsuri said
"Yeah yeah I know...I'm just embarrassed I guess" Lina said
"Do you want me to set you two up just like Yuzu-chan did with Shai and Momokino-sam?" Matsuri asked
"Eh? She set them up?" Lina asked
"Yeah on a blind date" Matsuri said. Lina blushed deeply and only looked away
"So will you accept?" Matsuri asked
"I-I guess so..." Lina said
"Okay" Matsuri said and giggled softly
I can't wait to set these two up. Maybe I'll ask the others for help but right now...I have to focus on the two dates that are coming up then the fight...Shai...you really are a dumbass

Night fell in town and the Taniguchi was in the bar drinking. She drinked to forget everything. She looked down at her drink and sighed deeply
Fuck...my head is starting to hurt again. I guess I should stop drinking...after I get another one
"Hehe hey there sexy~" A drunk man said and laughed a little. Mitsuko only groaned softly and kept drinking
This fucking asshole is asking for it...
"Ooooh~ Nice body you got there~" The drunk man said and smirked. Mitsuko kept ignoring him hoping it would make him leave
"Awww don't ignore me sexy~ I can make you feel good~" The drunk man said as he reached his hand out until Mitsuko grabbed his wrist tightly
"Fuck off before I kill you..." Mitsuko said coldly as she glared at him. The drunk man pulled his hand away and laughed a little
"Feisty huh? I like them aggressive~" The drunk man. Mitsuko gritted her teeth as she was about to beat the shit out of him until a blue haired guy came in kicking his dick
"Agh!" The drunk man cried out
"Haha! Hey there asshole. Leave her alone" A red haired girl said as she walked in as well
"Wh-what the fu-M-mizusawas!?" The drunk man exclaimed as he trembled. Nitski walked up to Juhin before he ended up doing something crazy
"Okay calm down asshole" Nitski said and patted his head softly. Juhin chuckled softly and stepped away from the drunk guy
"Listen you little piece of shit. Just leave now before you get your ass kicked" Nitski said and laughed a little
"Y-yes!" The drunk man said and stood up running away from the two Mizusawas
"Now that's taken care of let's chat" Nitski said and sat down
"You two seem popular here..." Mitsuko said taking a sip from her drink
"That's because we are. Our family name is uh...hm? How should I say this? Pretty much our name ended up spreading to everyone. Hey asshole! The usual please" Nitski said ordering her drink. The bartender handed her drink and gave Juhin his drink as well
"How did you guys become popular in the first place?" Mitsuko asked
"Hehe...thanks to a little devil fucking around with people" Nitski said
"Are you talking about Matsuri?" Mitsuko asked
"The one and only devil. There is a reason why they call her the pink devil" Nitski giggled and took a sip of her drink
"Because of her hair?" Mitsuko asked
"Matsuri used tricks to fool her opponents and would kill them using hidden knives or injury them" Nitski said
"What? But I thought Matsuri couldn't fight and that's why she started training to become strong" Mitsuko said
"Has she told you about her past?" Nitksi asked
"Well...she only told us that she was born different from many other Omegas" Mitsuko said
"Ah so she hasn't told you about her parents?" Nitski asked
"She only said why didn't her parents killed her back then when they had the chance..." Mitsuko said
"Matsuri was abandoned. Her parents were strong Alphas who ended up with a weak Omega so they threw her away. She was left alone for a while but a miracle happened. Lady Liana and Hana ended up finding her. Those two were Matsuri's family. She saw Hana as a sister but Lady Liana...she saw her as a mother. She admired her and loved her...but Matsuri got into big trouble. She thought she could fight back but...she is an Omega. She was scared....weak...she couldn't do anything. I don't know what Matsuri saw that scared her but it must've been pretty scary and bad. Lady Liana ended up giving her life for Matsuri and ever since then...Matsuri changed. She believed it was her fault that her mother was gone. That's the main reason she wants to become Alpha...to avenge her mother and be the bravest Alpha even though she is an Omega. Heh...Matsuri is pretty amazing to be honest. I never thought she would actually take it seriously..." Nitski said
"So that's what happened to her..." Mitsuko said and looked down at her cup
No wonder Matsuri wants to become Alpha...she believes it's her fault...for being weak...unable to do anything to achieve anything...I definitely know how that feels. Not being strong or brave...because I never was...I'm still...afraid...
"Just don't say anything to Matsuri about this or else she'll get mad at you and me..." Nitski said and chuckled nervously
Matsuri will go after my throat to be honest...oh god this slut better not spill the beans
"Anyways...that's all about Matsuri's past" Nitski said and finished her drink
"Why did you tell me about this?" Mitsuko asked
"It's something the two of you have in common right?" Nitski asked. Mitsuko's eyes widen and looked at her
"You were abandoned too since...she passed away" Nitski said and stood up from her seat then patted her shoulder softly
"H-how?" Mitsuko asked as her voice cracked
"Harumin. She must've been an amazing mother" Nitski said
"She was really amazing. She was the only person I could talk to..." Mitsuko said clenching her fists tightly
"Hey...let go of the past. You'll keep hurting yourself if you keep clinging onto it. There is nothing you can do..." Nitski said as she patted her back softly then walked away. Mitsuko only looked down and trembled. She stood up from her seat and placed the money down. She turned around and walked towards the exit
She's right...I'm being a little bitch...
