[MIKE POV'S - 2:35 PM]

PA: Now arriving at Kita, Tokyo.

Arriving the station, doors opened as the crowds went their way, I gently pushed them aside. not in the rude way!

Mike: *puff* *huff* Oh god, that's torture!

Even though, I'm already use ride the train. not that in America, all the people here are squeezing me so much that I'm gonna die of suffocation! 

Good news is I didn't get branded as molester, so thanks for that! exited the station as I look the scenery. I whistled, didn't change the place when my Mother brought me here to visit her friend. then I heard a voice beside me.

???: Took you long enough!

It's Yata! behind him is a bicycle attached to wooden box, inside had a single pillow and his usual skateboard. that's right, our custom rickshaw. invented myself!

Feeling proud of my creation. Yata looked my outfit as I spun around.

Mike: Hehe...cool, right.

Yata: ...You look ridiculous.

Mike: Say the munk who been wearing the same outfit for the 8 years?

Yata: HA!!

Punch me in any second, I quickly tossed him to something and he grasp it.

Yata: Hamburger?

Mike: Figure you might be hungry, so I ordered a take out.

Showing him a plastic of full burgers. let me tell you a little flashback. when I finished my meal, I ordered a huge take out that her faced pale once more that she almost fainted. but, never did, she gave me a stiffy smiled. before I headed out.

Yata widen his eyes. then looking at me.

Yata: ...How the hell you didn't get fat?

...... *Vein mark*

Headed to the rickshaw as I put my stuff in there. goes to Yata and gazes at him.

Yata: What-

Didn't let him finish, 'cause I punch him in the gut with my left hand.

Yata: Gahack!!

Yata staggered of my blow, step back in pain, feeling he'll fall down in any second. but, he didn't as stood still and shot me with a sharp glare.

Yata: What the hell was that for!!

Mike: How many times do I have to tell you! never call me that again!!

Yata: Well, It's true!! There's no way a human would eat there a huge meal and order a take out!!

Mike: Are you still annoyed at the airport, that I called you a runt or something?!

Yata: That's it!! you're dead to me, Mike!

Mike: Come on!! Bring it-

*DENWA...GA KITA!**DENWA...GA KITA!*

My phone ring in my pocket, raising my index finger to stopped, took out and answered it.

Mike: Hello, who is this~?

Glancing Yata which he had annoyed face.

Yata: You still got that stupid ringtone?

Mike: What?! I like that anime, It's hilarious.

Rolling his eyes as a voice coming from my phone.

???: Mike-sama.

Mike: Fumi-chan? what's wrong. something happened?

Fumi: No, It's nothing. but, I want you two stop fighting.

Mike: Wait! how did you know we're gonna start out fight.

Fumi: ...

Mike: Oh yeah, you already at my place, huh.

Looking around the area to find the camera. until I spotted and waved at it.

Mike: Still, Fumi-chan. It's was chibi who started first.

Yata: Who're you calling me a chibi!!

Fumi: Mou. Mike-sama stop that and apologize to him!

Mike: But-

Fumi: No, but!!

Groaned 'cause my ear is hurt of her shouting. looking Yata and face him with my stiffy straight smiled face.

Mike: I'm so sorry, Yata~. I hope you forgive me~

Yata: Gross?

Mike Oh! shut up! be grateful this is the first time I apologize to you!!

Returned to the phone and stare at the camera.

Mike: There! happy!

Fumi: Mhm.

Mike: Is there anything else?

Fumi: No, that will be all. but, no more fighting you two. please.

Mike: *sigh* Fine, we're not gonna fight.

Fumi: Yokatta. but, make sure you arrive early at Shinjuku street.

Mike: Hai, hai, Mom~. I see you there soon. bye.

Fumi: Fufu. take care, Mike-sama.

Hang up my phone and stare at him.

Mike: Truce!

Yata: ...Truce!

Me and Yata walked toward the rickshaw as I get on the wooden box.

Yata: So, where're we going?

Quickly stood up and point my finger to the direction.

Mike: TO THE YAMABUKI BAKERY!!

https://youtu.be/RktX4lbe_g4

Yata: ...Or I should start cycling, because you look more ridiculous now?

Ignoring him, I sat down as my two hands goes to my head to relax. while Yata hop on the bicycle, start cycle and headed to the destination.

[TIMESKIP]

Yata: Hey! we're here!

Opening my eyes, looking the area. the place has a very unique that you can enjoyed the scenery. sniffed and greeted by scent of fried food, fragrant coffee and freshly bread. speaking of bread, this is the place!

Mike: Hey, Yata. is there anything you like?

Yata: Nah, still got 2 burger.

He already ate 3. so, I ate 2 burger. I'm still hungry that I'm gonna order some more.

Mike: Suit yourself and don't go anywhere, we need to sell my stuff.

Yata: Yeah, yeah.

Resting his head on the bike, shooing me away. I opened the doorway, once again the smelled of the fresh pastry assault my nose.

???: Welcome, is this your first time.

Looking the counter to see a middle-age woman, had brown haired and blue eyes.

Mike: Yes, Ma'am.

Woman: Well, for starter today special is our famous choco cornet. the melon pan and cream pan are selling well, of course you can order anything you want. considered you're new to Yamabuki bakery.

Mike: Can I take look around?

Woman: Sure, take your time young man.

Nodded in gratitude. scanned all types of bread, buns and pastries. until I found something that I take a closer look at it, the owner spoked out.

Woman: Ah. This is our newest product, fresh out in the oven.

Mike: (It's cute!! all right, I've decided.)

Started to grabbed my orders, then came to the counter, which the owner has a small shock.

Woman: ...Mind if I ask?

Haa...again?

Mike: Sure, what is it?

Woman: You're not from here, are you?

Didn't expect that question. I though she's gonna ask "like are you gonna eat all of those or something". but, hallelujah for that!

Mike: What make you say that?

Woman: Your appearance and accent is different, are you foreigner?

Mike: Hehe, I get that a lot. true. I may look like a American. But, I have Japanese blood in my vein.

Woman: A half-foreigner. then?

Mike: Yes, still. I'm kinda Impress.

Woman: What do you mean?

Mike: I mean, are you not surprise that I'm ordering like this?

I point her to the bag as she's giggled.

Woman: I've already used to it, since Moca-chan order like that.

Really? a big eater, then?

Woman: More like a bread lover.

Mike: Matte! how do you even know I was thinking?!

Woman: Hmm... think of it like, 'Mother's intuition.'

Geez, even though she's not my mom. but girls sure are scary when they know what our thinking, especially my Mom when I make mistake.

Mike: Well, for some reason. I'm kinda excited to meet this guy?!

Woman: You know Moca-chan's a girl?

Mike: Eh?! really?

She nodded as I put my hand to my chin.

Mike: Oh boy, I better picked right word. if I don't want her damaged her as a woman?

Woman: Hehe, don't worry, I'm sure you two will get along just fine.

Felt ease of talking to her, like I never had a conversation of a stranger before. It's been so long time since I stopped going countries and meeting other people.

Oh wait, I forgot how Meg brave enough to welcome me, when I start living them.

https://youtu.be/zVfoP7sDc2A

I was gonna start another conversation, Yata voice, shouted outside the bakery.

Yata: Hey! are you done yet. is really hurt that I'm been sitting like 30 minutes!

Mike: Oh boy... I'm sorry about that, he can be loud sometime, but, deep down, he's a nice, little squirrel.

Yata: I can still hear you, y'know!!

Rolling my eyes of his shouting while the owner just smiled.

Woman: I understand.

Paying my order, giving her my money, she then gave me a change and bowed her head.

Woman: Thank you for your visit. come again next time.

I nodded as I exit the place.

[THIRD POV'S]

As he left the bakery, the woman was going back to the kitchen. she heard bell chime.

Woman: Welcome-oh my?

It was Mike, holding something with his two arms.

Woman: It's you, young man. did you forgot something?

Mike: Ah, yes. I want to thank you for the conversation.

Woman: Just for that?

Mike: Hai! and this is for them.

She gazes at Mike holding that his left arm was a Rilakkuma plush toy as the other is a box of Kamen rider horobi sting scorpion.

A question appeared above her head. but, Mike start he talked.

Mike: Before you ask. while we're having a conversation, I've felt like I was being watched that I caught glimpse of an eyes peeking at me. especially that little guy always staring to my mask.

As he said that. two children came out of hiding. a little boy had a brown hair, blue eyes and a little girl her hair is twin tail, the left side of her is a pink ribbon and her eyes had the same of the boy.

The two of them approached him as Mike squat down to match their height and leaned his gift to them.

Mike: Take it. It's all yours.

Little Boy & Girl: Really?!

He nodded as the two excited grabbed their gift and went toward their Mom and happily showed their gift. she then smiled at them.

Woman: All right, you two. what would you say to him.

The two of them returned to Mike and gaze at him.

Little Boy & Girl: Thank you Nii-san!/Onii-chan!

Mike laughed, giving them headpat. while the woman sincerely smiled the scene. Mike stood up and stare her.

Mike: I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Hakuryū W. Michael. but call me Mike.

Chihiro: Fufu. Nice to meet you Mike-kun. I'm Yamabuki Chihiro, Owner of the Yamabuki bakery.

She gestured her hand to the children.

Chihiro: And this is my children's, Jun and Sana.

The children wave him as Mike wave them back.

Mike: Hello~

Chihiro: Is there anything else you need?

Mike: Nope! that will be all. but, thanks again for the conversation. It was great!

Chihiro: Fufu, you too, Mike-kun.

Mike then gazes at the children.

Mike: Bye, bye!

The kids wave goodbyes. Mike then looked at Chihiro. bowed properly and left. Chihiro looked through window panel as Mike hop on the wooden box and pointed his finger to the direction.

Mike: Onward! my slave~!

Yata: Shut up and don't call me that!

Start pedaling, no longer seen their figures. Chihiro soon start giggles.

Chihiro: What a strange young man?

She then realized something.

Chihiro: Ara! I forgot to tell him about my eldest daughter.

She gazes again at the window of Mike left.

Chihiro: I feel he's gonna meet her in the future soon.

She smiled as she looked her beloved children.

Chihiro: All right, you two. go played your gift to your room.

Jun & Sana: Haaai.

The children went to the room as Chihiro follows them.

[MIKE POV'S]

Mike: Are we there yet?

Yata: No.

Mike: Are we there yet?

Yata: No!

Mike: 我们到了吗.

Yata: N-, wait?! what the hell does that even mean?!

Mike: It's mean 'Are we there yet.'

Yata: Then, NO!!

We're now different place, Yata still cycling with irritated face while took out my cellphone to played something to removed this boredom.

Gotta said those two children are cute! especially the little girl. a same age of my sister, maybe I introduce to her when I have a time.  

Mike: Hey-

Yata: If you say that again! I swear, I'll gonna leave you with right now!

Mike: I was gonna say is how our members doing lately.

Calmed himself down and start his talked.

Yata: They doing fine after you away. training, studying and some of them admitted their university of their choice.

Mike: Really? well, good for them.

Yata: Un, those idiots, they want to thank for everything you did for them. but you already know the answer.

I should visit them other time too, if they doing okay.

Mike: I kinda get that. What about 'her'

Yata: Annoying as fuck!!

Thank to his yelled! My ears bleeding that I'm gonna become a deaf person.

Mike: Easy, man! Why?!

Yata: She's not gonna stop, proclaiming herself genius or something! even my ears is bleeding because of her!! 

You're not the only one who hurting our ears now.

Mike: You overreacting?

Yata: Overreacting?! while you're away, she ordering me around like a goddamn maid! getting her drink, games, even the spare part for her drone!

 Poor you. the last time when I was in Japan. she kept me order me around like a maid too?

Yata: Where did you even find her?

Mike: ...Let's just say that my Dad found her during his time to visit me in America.

Yata: And now that you here, I can finally take a break! so, she's all your!

Mike: Wow?! waste no time to throw responsibility to someone?

Yata: 'Responsibility'! Walker-san found her in the US and 'Someone' told me to take care of her while he overseas and who is this 'Someone' know responsibility. huh!!

Yata looked at me with scowl face. while I thinking, who is he talking to?

...

Mike: Who?

Yata: ...You on your own?

Stop it midway, left the bike and get his skateboard, before walking to the other direction with clear intention. I quickly intervened.

Mike: Alright, alright! It's my fault! just come back and I'll take care of her from now! will you!!

Yata returned as he put his skateboard beside me, hop the bike and resumed his cycling. while continuing my phone, Yata spoked out to me 

Yata: Now that you here in Japan? what're you gonna do?

Should I tell him about my family meeting?

Mike: Actually is- 

And so, I tell Yata about the outing and study to my new school.

Mike: that's that.

Yata: Wow...then which school are you gonna enrolled too? If it's far away, you're definitely you on your own. 

Mike: That what is afraid of, Mom didn't tell me the detail is. but, I feel is gonna be worse.

Yata: How worse?

Mike: Let's see...If it's a rich or catholic. I'm not gonna survive there.

Yata: ...Whatever it is, I'll make sure send you some flower to your grave.

Mike: Shut up! and what make you think that I'll die someday!! huh!!

The chestnut dude chuckled. while still looked at him with hardened glare and still cycling to our destination.

[MINUTES LATER...]

Mike: Alright. I think this is good enough.

Yata: Majidesu ka...?

Nodded in exciting. we're are now standing at the school gate as I look for the name of this school.

Mike: Haneoka Girls' High School?

Heard a footstep behind me, turn back to see Yata walked toward me and grab the collar of my jacket.

Yata: Did you know this! or did you "purposely" know this!!

Mike: Eh?!

The way his tone is shaking, body trembling, even his face red. which I came to conclusion.

Mike: You still nervous? huh. 

Point my thumb at the entrance. then his head goes down.

Yata: Hai.

Mike: THE HELL! I thought you training with Fumi-chan paid off and still nervous those girl?!

Yata: Hey! Fumi is okay along with your family maids! but an all-girls school is way beyond my expectation!!

Mike: Then tell me sooner that you still afraid of them!!

Yata: And you also didn't tell me that we're going to this school to sell your stupid prizes!!

Mike: You wanna fight now!!

Yata: Then come on!!

This is no joke around anymore! grabbing his collar, raised my fist and we looked each other with more hateful glares.

???: Wow!! It's so boppin cute!

Stopping our action as we looked whose voice is that which our gazes landed to a excited teal hair-girl with green-eyes and wearing high school uniform.

Her eyes sparkles as she look my prizes. which I waste no time, shoving Yata out the way and went toward her. 

Mike: Hi Ojou-san, is there anything you like among the prizes! is only 50 yen~.

Yata: Hey!!

Ignoring him shouting as I said with professional businessman. 

???: Really! 50 yen for this cuuute toys!

Mike: Hai~ fresh from the arcade, you can't get anywhere of this adorable plushies and I assured you, there's no camera in there.

Yata: Really? you just have to say the camera part?

Mike: DAMARE, will you!!

??? Then I take this, this, this and this!

Picking her selected item, put on the plastic bag and hand it to her as she happily receive it. she then gave me a 200 yen and I took it from her hand.

Mike: Thank you for your patronage!

She nodded and left as she playfully spin her body, continued back her school with her stuff. I looked the money before tossed the single coin it in the air, landed my palm.

Mike: Yata! ready my prizes because we're going sales here right NOW!! 

Yata: EH?!

Mike: Also, get the golden retriever here! we gonna use her to attract some customers!

Yata: Wait! how did you even get that dog?!

Mike: Hurry up! I already see some mon-I mean students heading this way! RAPIDO!!

Yata went quickly to the rickshaw, put the money in my pocket and getting my mask as I put it on the left side that cover my eye and rubbed my hands greedily.

Mike: Hehe, let's do it!!

Yukina & Lisa & Students: Huh?!

The students eyes went wide open, even Yukina and Lisa. While he told them with blank tone.

Mike: If some girl with her long brown hair with red ribbon come by and saying this is her dog. it is, Ophelia is stolen~
