Chapter Text
📍 Furin Highschool, Makochi, Japan
Class 1-1 was lively as always, everyone was doing their own activities – Kiryuu-san using his phone as always, Tsugeura-san doing pullups on the bar inside of the classroom (Til' this day, Nirei still doesn't know why thats there.) Anzai's friendgroup is still pretty loud, but no one really minds the noise – infact, they like it! Nirei was busy observing everyone and writing in his notebook (at the speed of light!) to the point he didnt see his eyepatched best-friend staring at him, Suo walked over to Nirei and tapped his shoulder.
"Nire-kun, May I see your notebook?" With a calm demeanor, Suo approached Nirei — his voice warm and sincere.
"Sure, Suo-san! But can I ask why?" Nirei replied, confused on the request that his best-friend had asked him.
"Seeing how you're always writing in your beloved notebook, I wanted to see how much you have written – It might be useful in future battles." With a laidback expression, He smiled at Nirei with his usual peaceful look.
Seeing that Suo had no bad intentions, Nirei decided to give him the notebook — though a small side of him was panicking. "Ahh, Hopefully Suo-San wouldn't do anything with the notebook!" Nirei anxiously thought.
As Suo was quickly flipping through the sheets, he stumbled across a blank page. "Nirei-kun forgot a page? .. Interesting." He widened his eyes for a few seconds before going back to his usual demeanor. "Nire-kun, I think you've forgotten a page." Suo points to the blank sheet –
SHISHITOREN: Sako Kōta

"EEEEEHHH!?" Nirei shouts loudly as he grabbed the notebook back forcefully, looking at the blank page over and over and ov(er) "I've never gotten information on Sako-san?" He looks at Suo, clearly stunned. "It appears you haven't. You could ask Hiragi-san for information, or you could ask Shishitoren!" Suo suggested, patting Nirei's back carefully as he sulked in sadness.
Right after Nirei's sulking, they had to go patrol all around Makochi — Which was great, because he could ask Hiragi-san for information!
"Ah, sorry Nirei. I think you should ask Sako himself. I remember him telling me that he'll go to a dessert café here in Makochi, I joked around and said 'Let's have a dat—" Hiragi forcefully coughed just before he continued his sentence. The yellow haired pouted once more. He had to get information on Sako ASAP! Patrolling the area was fairly easy, there were no rival gangs in sight and the breeze was more comfortable than usual.
Nirei was walking, muttering some words while covering his face with his notebook — "Ah-!" Just right before he crashed into a poll, Suo had managed to pull him away without any effort. "My my Nire-Kun, eyes on the road alright?" He warned Nirei, looking at him and doing a "Nono~" gesture while smiling – "Right! Sorry Suo-san.." Nirei responded quietly, like a kid speaking right after they got scolded.
The two of them were at the back of the crowd, Suo had intentionally slowed down his pace to talk with Nirei. "Don't think much about it Nirei-Kun." He warmly patted his shoulder once more, Nirei smiled and put his notebook back inside his blazer, "I'm sorry Suo-san, It's just so rare of me to forget to put information about people that are cool! It's pretty shocking for me too.." The short boy replied, slowly lowering his tone.
Once the patrol was over, Everyone said their goodbyes and left the campus – While walking home, Nirei was thinking on how he'll be able to contact Sako. Call him? No.. He doesnt have his number – Walk into Shishitoren's Turf?.. Thats just weird! – Go to Sako's school? – AGAIN ITS WEIRD! Wait .. Didn't Hiragi-san say that he'll go to a dessert café!?
"BINGO!" Nirei screamed enthusiastically, getting some stares in response. Running away from embarrassment, he reached his home – Although he found out Sako was going to a café in Makochi, Nirei never found out when and where! Back to square one I guess.. well, square two since he found out something!
📍 Akihiko Nirei's House
As Nirei laid in his small (but comfy) bed, he frantically searched in his phone "Dsesert café's in makpchi"(Yes, with grammatic errors.) His search bar was starting to look like Sako's usual searches, huh! While Nirei was on the hunt to find information, he suddenly got a thought and chatted Hiragi-san at 12am.
Hiragi-San
Thursday, May 29
Akihiko Nirei: Hiragi-san, you mentioned that Sako was going to a dessert café in Makochi? Could you tell me where and when?
12:00am
Toma Hiragi: Nirei, It's 12am.. Please go to sleep.
12:00am
Akihiko Nirei: Please Hiragi-san! Just tell me and I'll go to sleep!
12:01am
Toma Hiragi: Café Makochi, Sako will go tomorrow.
12:01am
Akihiko Nirei: Thank you so much Hiragi-san! (Bow emoji)
12:02am
Toma Hiragi: Don't mind, now go to sleep Nirei.
12:02am
Akihiko Nirei: (Okay Emoji)
12:02am
Before going to sleep, Nirei greeted everyone in the Class 1-1 Group Chat a goodnight (At 12:17am), only Sakura and Kiryuu saw the message. He shut down his phone and placed it carefully on the nightstand right next to him.
"Oyasumii.." Nirei slowly said, drifting into a good-night's sleep. Hopefully, he'll see Sako tomorrow and finally fill up that missing page on his beloved notebook.
