    Summary

    The point is that Mafuyu has had no time for a social life. No girlfriend, either. Mizuki almost feels bad telling Mafuyu about Ena, knowing that while she and Ena were out on lovely dinner and movie dates, Mafuyu was fighting inner demons and multiple Code Blues. Almost.

    But nothing, save the supernatural, can sway Mafuyu from her wholehearted destruction of the work-life balance.

    So Mizuki’s solution, to pull her dear friend from the pits of workaholic despair and out into the green grass and sunny skies of people who possess a life?

    Enlist the supernatural, of course.

    Mizuki and Mafuyu summon a demon. Why? To get Mafuyu a girlfriend, obviously.

    Summary

    "They're statues.”

    Akito steps closer to Touya and places a hand on his shoulder. An thinks it's funny that Touya’s a bit taller than Akito, and she’s about to mention the height difference when Akito lets out a yell and recoils from Touya like he's been burned.

    “What's wrong with you?”

    “An, he's—he’s warm. What the hell. He feels like he’s real.”

    And when An ventures over to Kohane and slings an arm around her (it fits oddly well, An thinks), the wood is warm and pulsing in a way that makes An stumble back a few paces and stare.

    “I think she's breathing.”

    “What the fuck.

    The statues start to move before their very eyes.

    An and Akito are night guards at a museum, working to save up for their favorite gacha characters. They find a mysterious door on the job—and get a lot more than they applied for.

    Summary

    "Is there something you need from me?”

    Pierro’s not quite sure what motivated him to see Capitano, of all people, barely hours before Capitano’s return back to Natlan. They stare at each other for a good few moments before Pierro realizes the tension in the air and turns to leave.

    “Apologies, Captain, I do not. My mind must have wandered. I wish you safe—”

    “Jester.”

    Pierro stops moving.

    “Pierro,” Capitano corrects himself. “Do you ever have the feeling that you are… rotting?”

    Pierro and Capitano speak of forgotten things.

    Summary

    “So,” Mizuki explains excitedly, “I’ve seen videos where people ask a couple certain questions about their relationship, like who’s the cleaner one or who’s the overachiever,” cue not-so-hidden hidden glance at Mafuyu, “and the couple will raise up a shoe in response—either their shoe or their partner’s.”

    Ena looks down at her shoes. Puffy black and white sneakers, rimmed with blue and crossed with orange laces, stare back at her. Curse her and Akito’s similar shoe sizes.

    She woke up late, and was in such a rush to get ready, that—well.

    Her dress covers the unfortunate footwear well enough when sitting, but she thinks she might die on the spot if she has to hold up Akito’s sweaty shoes for any question.

    Mizuki brings up the shoe game to N25. It culminates in multiple contests, an ‘emotional juice cleanse’, and a pair of sneakers lost in a random passageway.

    Summary

    Kanade’s fallen to the ground, surrounded by energy drinks.

    They loom over her in a loose circle, such that one would think Kanade the sacrifice of an energy drink cult ritual. A lone can from her desk teeters and wobbles before landing on Kanade’s motionless head with a thunk and rolling away.

    Mafuyu’s by Kanade’s side in an instant, sweeping through the valley of displaced Monsters and resting a hand against the girl’s forehead—it’s flushed, and she’s breathing quickly. Mafuyu remembers Kanade eating dinner with her just yesterday, so why did she fall? Why does she seem so weak?

    Kanade accidentally buys some alcoholic energy drinks—Mafuyu finds her in the aftermath.

    Summary

    Kohane lifted her hands to her face; they looked the exact same as they were before her tumble, save for a few stars and planets that twinkled in the outskirts of her translucent body.

    Wait, translucent?

    With a start, she picked herself up—staring at her legs and looking not just at them, but through them to the concrete-like floor she had fallen on. Near the outlines of her clothes, stars glittered and shined, and as Kohane raised her hands above her head to stretch, she could've sworn she saw them twinkle. She was no longer the ghostly white form she perceived herself as before she fell from the heavens—now, she was a walking, talking, constellation.

    Or, Kohane is a traveler from the skies. She meets An, a winged and golden-eyed deity, along the way.

    Summary

    The speaker finished his speech and walked off the podium (to light applause), replaced by the headmaster of the medical school—the one who would give their commencement speech and thereby crown them medical school graduates.

    As they changed hands, Mafuyu vaguely wondered how her classmates, starry-eyed and hopeful for the future, would react if she killed herself right here and now—dug her nails deep enough into her chest to rip her heart out and fling it at the headmaster as a last fuck you before slumping lifeless to the floor.

    With her luck—being surrounded by medical professionals—she’d survive without any permanent injury.

    Mafuyu graduates medical school!

    Summary

    A looming figure and slavering teeth turned into a small girl, rubbing her eyes briefly and looking for all the world as if she had just come out of an ill-timed nap, and not a bloodthirsty rampage of Mafuyu’s village. The hunter noted the flowing white-blue hair that ran from her scalp to her knees—an evident connection to the long-haired fur the girl’s beast form held. As the girl realized where she was and began warily scanning her surroundings for any sign of danger, Mafuyu’s heart beat fast as she saw the sparkle of her eyes—light and blinding, instead of the wolf’s deep blue—catch the moon.

    She couldn’t help but admire this creature, this weak and doddering person, right at the mercy of her own two hands.

    mafuyu's on the hunt for an elusive werewolf.

    Summary

    Nene tapped out halfway through, only sticking around long enough for some food before slinking off to the shared hotel, tiering away on a rhythm game—Full Combo!

    Meanwhile, Mizuki, An was pretty sure, was busy making out with a nice brown-haired artist girl they had met at the club (a fellow traveler from America so they could actually communicate without Google Translate as a medium, curse An and Mizuki’s combined French memory of a goldfish)—and An?

    “Ce n’est pas juste! Je ne comprends pas—”

    An was in the back alleyway of the club, holding a drink in one hand and awkwardly patting a girl with the other, looking for all the world like a corpse ready to decompose into the ground.

    An, a high schooler used to the horrors of francais, decides in a chance opportunity to visit the genuine article.

    Meets a girl—and trips flat over her woefully-unpolished club shoes.

    Summary

    Even with the constant looming threat of prison, asset forfeiture, and a life on the streets, Kanade’s comfort was that, despite her more unconventional job choice, she had some surprisingly high-profile customers in her pocket—sons and daughters of high-ranking officials who saw it more ideal to keep their only supplier in Shibuya prison-free and able to do business with.

    One of these people—the poised, elegant, unearthly daughter of Minister Asahina set to become the next great political demon of Japan—was ETA less than 1 minute from her location, driving fast in her mother’s matte-gray performance sports car.

    kanade sells,

    mafuyu buys—until she doesn't.

    Summary

    She would pretend, and lie, and wish away the hurt when Mafuyu’s lips would form the outline of the letter “K” when seeing her, when Mafuyu ran her fingers through Ena’s hair and down her back as if expecting her bob to be longer, and when Mafuyu would stare at her blearily in the mornings with confusion that rotted away into bitter disappointment.

    ena and mafuyu.

    they weren't—exactly made for each other.

    Summary

    Check if creature responds to (insert long list of chemicals that sat heavy in Kanade’s coat pocket, bubbling behind glass syringes); potential test subject for new solutions?

    Demonstrates incredible physical durability and quick healing—Kanade cast a look at the girl’s skin, new and unblemished despite the numerous fights from the days before—perhaps internal as well.

    Kanade was supposed to go into the ram-like creature's room, jab three different substances of varying toxicity levels into her neck, and get out without any injuries.

    The things you have to do for a paid internship.

    kanade is an intern in a (rather morally-gray) research center.

    mafuyu, their unfortunate victim.

    Summary

    It's like God had spent all of his “talent” resources by the time he had to code her, and so left Ena with nothing but a shrug and a good luck, I guess.

    (So she didn't hate them, really.

    She was jealous—greedy and envious,

    And the feeling made her want to gut herself whole.)

    Summary

    Seriously, the way she glided her fingers over the keys and moved with the best and the way her eyelashes fluttered slightly in concentration whenever she hit a particularly difficult part of the piece and face was perfectly bathed by the concert hall lights—

    “Dude, she's like… staring staring.”

    —made Mizuki want to reach over and strangle the teenagers in the seat behind her for judging her very respectful looking at her girlfriend.

    mizuki watches ena at a performance -- and is hit by some unwarranted criticism.

    Summary

    And oh shit! Mizuki completely forgot what she had scheduled today, too lost amongst the hustle and bustle of get to work, finish the new MV, be emo on Kamiyama’s rooftop + bully Ena to even think about—

    —a new notification popped up on the face of Mizuki’s screen.

     

    Schedule Reminder, 12:03 AM:

     

    GET MAFUYU AND KANADE TOGETHER!!!!

     

    Soon, Mizuki will be (already is) the best wingman ever.

    mizuki tries to get two idiots together.

    Summary

    “You know, being a scholar but being unable to perform any magic is rough—I'm always thinking about all the things I could accomplish with the help of a Mage Hand or two, the books I could get more easily, or the potions I could craft more efficiently with power to call my own.”

    She trailed off, and Mafuyu could tell who she was thinking of—a gray-haired, pale man lying in Kanade’s home, tethered to life only by the alchemists’ potions and rudimentary inventions.

    “Magic comes at a cost, though.” Mafuyu said. “Ena has to perform costly rituals and offerings to keep herself in favor with her god, or she loses her power for a week—”replaced with enough headaches to kill a newborn child”, I guess.”

    “Yeah,” Kanade sighed, “I know. She complains about it every single time we meet up. It’s just…”

    She grasped the edge of Mafuyu’s hand and laced their fingers together—feeling the rough grooves and calluses of many battles fought and (some easily, some barely) won.

    “—Nevermind.”

    mafuyu tries to stop kanade from making a very bad decision.

    Summary

    Ena leaned back in her seat. “Is this a N25 matter?”

    “No—yes. Kind of.”

    “What does that—okay…” Ena waved her hand slightly, indicating Mafuyu to go on.

    “I have a crush on someone.”

    And with a snap, Ena’s head snapped around so fast that it made multiple noticeable cracking noises because what the fuck what did she just say.

    3 times mafuyu tries to confess to kanade, and 1 time kanade turns the tables.

    Summary

    It was a tradition of Miyamasuzaka’s baseball team that before every last game of the year (whether it be at championships, against their rival school, or a rec match), those close to the athletes on the team would meet them before the game started. Whether it be to talk, banter, or kiss the teammate goodbye, it was always seen as good taste whenever an athlete was surrounded by their friends and family before heading out—giving them a burst of energy before the final match of the season.

    However, Mafuyu had been in the team for three consecutive years—and no one had ever shown up for her.

    mafuyu is the star pitcher of her high school's baseball team—out on the field before the final game of the year.

    where's kanade?

    Summary

    The impact set them both flying—Kanade teetering precariously at the edge of the un-railed tower and the other person shooting away from her.

    The dust settled—and a girl in an all-purple bodysuit with black accents came into view.

    “I thought you didn't like spandex.”

    Mafuyu blinked slowly at her. “It wasn't my choice.”

    “How long will you hide behind that excuse?”

    kanade is one of the world's greatest hackers—and the leader of N25, an infamous anti-hero group,

    while mafuyu is set to become one of the most famous superheroes in Japan.

    they were bound to meet eventually, don't you think?

    Summary

    Mizuki lived in grayscale and she—was fine with it, somewhat.

    She could live with it.

    Until she met Ena, and her world stuttered, tilted, and collapsed in on itself.

    mizuki has an eye condition, causing her to only be able to see in shades of gray.

    that is, before ena showed up—and threw a wrench into her spiral.
