Y/N POV

"RIDDLE!!" Trey and I shouted.

"Come on, open your eyes. Riddle." I mumble.

"..... Grap!" Riddle quickly stood up, and everyone's eyes turned wide.

"Hey, his eyes opened!" Ace said as Cater sighs in relief.

"... For real, we were agonizing over whether you'd wake up or not..." Cater said to Riddle.

"Huff... huff... What... did I...?" Riddle struggles to speak.

"I'm so glad. He came back to his senses." Crowley said with a smile. While Trey is kneeling one down at the right side of Riddle.

"There's no need to think about it now. Just rest." Trey told Riddle as he slowly lay him down.

"Ugh, of course, he goes berserk after getting a little mad if you're coddling him all the time. The garden was a disaster and we were in big trouble!" Ace commented.

"It was a crazy situation," Deuce said.

"Seriously. Bottling up your stress isn't admirable." Grim crossed his arms.

"...I... really wanted to eat that mont blanc," Riddle said.

"What?" Ace looks at Riddle confused.

"The roses are fine being white, and the flamingos are fine being pink. I like putting honey in my tea more than sugar cubes and I like milk tea more than lemon tea. I want to chat with everyone while we eat..." Riddle said, waving to the point he started to cry.

"Riddle" Trey called.

"I wanted to spend more time with Trey and everyone else..." Riddle lowered his sobbing and cried loud and loud.

"I can't believe... that Riddle is sobbing like a baby..." Cater was shocked more than everyone.

"Stop that! You're not forgiven just because you're crying." Ace said in a half-mad voice.

"You really refuse to read the mood..." Deuce and Felix sigh.

"I'm sorry!... sob... sniff... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Trey... Everyone. " Riddle cried.

"I'm sorry too. Even though I knew you were suffering I pretended not to notice." Riddle keeps on sobbing and sniffing. "So I'm going to say it now. Riddle, your way of doing things is wrong. You have to properly apologize to everyone." Trey said.

"...Sob, sniff... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry...!" Riddle cried and apologized to everyone.

"There is something I wanted to say to you if you apologized for everything that's happened..." Ace spoke up. I changed my attention to him. "WORDS CAN'T FIX THIS MESS! I'M NOT JUST GONNA FORGIVE YOU LIKE THAT!!!"

"WHAT?" Olivia, Celestia, and Felix screamed.

"Huh!?" I titled my head.

"Eh!? You're going to say that right now!?" Cater yelled.

"Why wouldn't I! We've been put through the wringer. And he still threw away the mont blanc we put all that time and effort into making. I'm not gonna let him off with a tear-filled apology." Ace went all out.

"This guy holds a grudge worse than I do," Grim murmured.

"All human boys are dumbass." The trio's familiar mumbled, except for Lucas that just stayed quiet and lay down at the side. Meanwhile, the water dragon turned his head to the other side, then he spotted rocks laying on the ground. He grabbed some of them and put them somewhere.

"Ah! What happened to Riddle saying 'I was wrong and I'm so sorry." I recalled what he said. Ace just placed his pointer finger on his lips, saying 'Shhh-

"Then... what should I..." Riddle sobbed. Ace gazes at Riddle.

"...My birthday isn't for a while." Ace reassures him.

"Huh? What are you getting..." Before Deuce could finish his sentence Ace spoke up.

"So I demand we have a Revenge Unbirthday Party. We didn't even get to take part in the last one. And this time, you have to make the tart. No getting help from Trey or supervisor, either! Do it yourself. If you do that, then there's nothing I won't forgive."

"Even though you helped yourself," Olivia said to Ace.

"Not very honest, I see." Celestia and Felix added

"Shut up, you three." Ace said to the trio than to Riddle. "You got it?"

"...Yeah, I got it," Riddle replied shortly after I handed him my handkerchief to wipe his tears. "Thanks."

"Yes, yes, this is the beauty of compromise. Then the issue is settled." Crowley approved as he smiled at everyone.

"Mister Headmaster! What took you 10 minutes to get back here?" Lucas spoke up at the side.

"Well, there was--- Oh my, great seven. It's a dragon." Crowley was surprised as he took a step back.

'Wow, that's unexpected. Do anyone in this school haven't seen a dragon before?... Wait!?' I thought to myself, "10 minutes!?" I questioned, Cater took out his phone and then checked the time. While I press on my earring to ask HEUSC.

"It's 3: 45." Cater and HEUSC said in unison.

"So we were only fighting for 10 minutes?" Deuce asked.

"...It's more like an hour than 10 minutes for me," Ace added, as everyone nodded.

"Well, what can you say? If you have to get done, make it quick." Olivia said.

"Now, the battle is over! Can you tell us... What the heck happened to your eyes? Y/n." Deuce observed my eyes.

"Oh, you mean this! This is a gift from a family member of mine." I replied.

"Mistress, you should change it back to your normal eyes. Those eyes can wipe your aura faster than other magic." Felix said worriedly.

"Yes, Yes. I know." I closed my eyes and gave a light smile, as patting him. Opened them as my c/e eyes went back.

"Huh!?" Everyone turned to the blonde owl carrying the ghost camera. Celestia and Olivia planned to take a picture while we were busy talking.

Olivia and Celestia smiled, "So cute," Olivia said as Celestia also said at the same time, "That's a keeper."
