Tohru invited out Chizuru to make up with her through phone call as his bestfriend Masamune advised. They agreed to meet up at the cafe at the city. Chizuru came first and while waiting, she browsed some blogs to keep herself to be bored while drinking a cup of tea.

"Oi, you're late dirty four eyes."

"How harsh Chizuru-chan!" Tohru whimpered.

As he is about to take a seat in front of her, she glared at the man she believes that violated her.

"Look, I'm sorry from what I've said before. I'm just making fun of you." The guilty man explained.

The lady looked at her lifelessly frowning like she's disinterested at the person in front of her. Then she gazed down at the table top and said.

"Uh, the thing is I shouldn't act petty before with just a kiss. But it's your fault saying those stuffs at me.

"Well. It's just a kiss." She added.

She knew she shouldn't act like a high school girl being molested because she is already in her mid-twenties. But in her situation, she's your 100 % v****n, never been kissed, never been touched.

She have to act cool and mature in this situation, but she can't prevent herself to feel uneasy. As Tohru laid down a pack of Lucky Strike with a lighter, she snatched them pop a stick of cigar in her mouth and lighted the tip. Little did she know she feels suffocated from the smoke, coughed hard and made her eyes teary because she never smoked before.

Tohru approached her and sad beside her to rub her back to ease her coughing.

"There there. You shouldn't act to be cool. Heh! You even tried to smoke in front of me when I knew you really don't smoke."

He got the stick that is not yet burned completely to the butt that Chizuru is about to put it the ashtray and put it in his mouth.

"Hey! That's an indirect kiss you pervert." Chizuru said, still wiping her tears.

"If you have any problems, don't hesitate to tell me so, I'm your onii-chan afterall."

"You're creeping me out. You just copied that line from a siscon anime." She chuckled knowing that he is trying to lift her mood.

Her phone suddenly rings and she answered the phonecall. She made a worried look after talking to the person at the end of the line.

"Oh my gosh! I have to go home immediately. The landlady said that my cat is stuck in the waterspout at our apartment."

"I'll go with you then."

She nods in agreement and gone to the apartment where she is residing.

Little did he know, that the apartment building is high with six storeys. And the townspeople are already there with their ladders retrieving the cat. He then voluteered to help,. He put his shoes off and started climbing on the railing of the porchs near the cat. Reaching for the terrified hairball in that height is not that easy. The cat started growling because some random stranger is trying to catch him. When the pet saw his master, Chizuru, calling him and begging him to jump in the stranger's arms. The animal submitted and allowed himself to be carried by Tohru.

The cat then scratched his face because the animal basically hates strangers. Chizuru surrendered the furball from Tohru as the animal is hurting her friend.

"Here kitty kitty, hush hush..." She calmed down the cat like a baby in her arms.

"Hahaha! I can't believe that you've have a furry child living in your apartment.

"Ouch, I think your cat made me bleed like that." He jokingly said to make Chizuru guilty.

She then thanked and notified the landlady the people that the cat is okay from the window.

She invited her friend to take a breather in her apartment for a while. Still, the cat named Pillow is still furious hissing at the bespectacled man who saved him.

He gazed at the picture frame that has Chizuru's picture of her high school graduation in it.

"Looks like we came from the same school." Tohru said.

"Oh really? Didn't see you around that time." She answered.

The man's expression went grim as if he's hoping that she would remember that they have met once.

"Well yeah, I got delayed a year or two if I remembered correctly. They said I got hospitalized that time.

"Oh, I remembered! You're two years my senior right? How could I possibly ran into you? I rarely go to the 3rd year's hallway that time to be precise, I haven't caught up to you since I got delayed from schooling for a year." She added.

Tohru then got another picture of hers when she is a sixth grader.

"Hmm, makes sense. Can you remember your memories of childhood years?" He asked, dazed from what she replied.

"I can't remember. Oh, didn't I told you that I have an amnesia when I was a ninth grader?

Sorry I didn't opened up this to you just recently. I feel bad for my childhood friend that I can't remember. I wonder if I got wonderful memories with them. When some of my colleagues opened up that topic, they thought that it was too long ago that I can't remember anything when I was in elementary but they were shocked that they found out that I got an amnesia since."

Feeling bad about herself sharing about her personal life. She felt a pang in her heart that made her avoid her gaze from her friend and became teary eyed with the sudden emotion.

Tohru then holds both of her shoulders.

"Chizuru- chan."

"Yes?"

Calling her attention that made her look at him.

"Call me onii-chan from now on."

"Huh? What's with that shenanigan you're involving me in? You siscon freak!"

She retorted believing that all of her dramas that she opened up with her friend, he only made fun of her in exchange.

"Do you see the damage that your cat gave me? You should have thanked me from saving me too but with a price, you should call me 'onii-chan' from now on." He pointed at the scratch mark the feline left.

She gasped then complained.

"I can comply with it in another way."

"Model for my ero-manga then."

"No way."

"Sing in front of the public then."

"Never."

"Act like my middle schooler little sister in public."

"You're gross. Don't extort at me like that or I'll have to strangle you."

She glared at Tohru already fuming with anger.

"Okay, okay! How about this? You have to find out what Hotaru's gender really is."

He surrendered with a decent deal.

"Uuh..."

"W-what? Don't you want to do it."

Chizuru on the other hand, already knows that she's a girl. She can answer what he's asking for but she already promised Hotaru that she will keep her identity until she tells her that to her friend. However Yukki didn't how long she can investigate the high school kid so she can keep herself fro telling the truth until her friend confesses to.

"Okay." She answered sternly.

Afterwards, they decided to go outside to stroll at the park to relieve the tension between him and her. Just when they ran into Hosokawa Haruka and confronted Chizuru right in front of Tohru.

"Damn you bitch! I know you're my brother's lover but he won't admit it. And now, you're cheating him with that guy?"

"I'm not Haruki's girlfr--"

Just when she was defending herself, Tohru pulled the girl to him with his arm and said.

"Oi, Hosokawa no otouto. She's Haru-haru's girl, her body is submitted to mine. And I can't allow that guy to share her with me."

Just when Chizuru has to contradict his perverted friend who already acts like a shoujo manga hero, he covered her mouth unable to say anything.

With all the tension and hodge podge they're into, the tall white haired man who appeared to be Fujimoto Takatora approached them.

"Hosokawa kun, Midori is finding for you... Oh, who're they? Are they your friends?"

Recognizing the struggling girl in front of him, Chizuru the girl she likes, from his gentle-giant mode made him a furious ogre that knocked out Tohru in one blow that made him unconscious and made his spectacles crack.

"Oow... where am I? Chizuru-chan, are you there?"

Tohru finally woke up, lying on the bench after Midori tended him, who appeared that he's with his teammates in team Hoshishiro as well Chizuru who is holding his hand that also got in trouble a while ago.

"I'm here Yukimura. Are you feeling all right?"

"Somehow."

"Sumimasen! Sumimasen! Yukimura-san!" Said Fujimoto Feeling guilty about that misunderstanding recently frantically bowing deep repeatedly.

"But I must admit that I'm still jealous getting those scratch marks from Chizuru-san." Added the white haired giant, because he's also a big masochist like Yukimura.

"Ah, here? I got this from her cat." He explained.

Midori on the other hand chuckled, amused at them moreover with Chizuru that he badly wants to toy with.

Ichi, the blue haired girl is sternly looking at Chizuru because she believes that she's hogging the attention of Midori. Then there's Haruka, apathetically watching the scene displeased and jealous on how close they are to his brother.

Team Hoshishiro seems to have a picnic in the same area where the trouble took place that made them have an unexpected rendezvous. While Tohru is unconscious, Chizuru explained the whole misunderstandings of what the bespectacled guy did. And she explained that she's not dating anyone among them.

Just when the commotion was over, Hotaru and Masamune saw them and approached Tohru, still lying on the bench.

"Oi, Tohru! Why are you sleeping? You're making Chizuru have a hard time taking care of you." Masamune said but then he realized that they are with their opposing team, he went petrified seeing Midori with them.

"Hey Masamune, Hotaru. Long time no see. Why won't you join in our picnic?"

"T-there's no need Midori-san."

"Yay! There's many food." Hotaru said.

"Don't be shy, help yourself Tachibana-san." replied Fujimoto with amusement to his opponent from before.

"Looks like we're having a fun picnic and a reunion today!" Said Midori but Masamune on the other hand is quite feeling uneasy with him.

Chizuru, observing the two men made her wonder if they have past relationships or so whatever. And then she learned that the people with her are into airsoft or survival games as they call it. It made her reconsider if she can join with their team to know them better.
