"Sigh, well Kara I need to be some where else, I will talk later" Hachi dashes.

A moment later.
They enter the fish cake shop. As they walk, Mizuno asks, "So, big bro, don't you think they two are too close?"
They look at Seka and Chio, watching them talk, and take a bite.
"They are completely like best friends, why do you ask?" says Kara.
"Well, there is a problem," Mizuno says, looking at Kara." Uh, yeah, so what about it?" Kara looks at Mizuno with a concerned look.
Mizuno "Sigh". "It does seem like a big problem," Kara keeps on looking. "Well, the thing is that when she starts on this eating spree, she doesn't stop," Mizuno says with a concerned face.
"Well, I get where you're coming from." Kara just smiles and looks at Seka and Chio.
Then a small girl runs towards them with some fruits,
Bam!!
She crashes with Kara,
She drops all her fruits.
She stands up, grabs as many as she can, shoves Mizuno, and enters an alley.
"Oi! Wait," Mizuno tries to stop her.
An old man starts running towards them, "thief, thief."
The old man chases her inside the alley.
"Mizuno, wait here." Kara runs after them. Mizuno replies," Hey, where are you going?"
Kara chases after them, as he does, Seka notices them, and runs towards them.
The little girl finds herself against a wall. The old man catches her, and he kicks her as he takes back all the food she stole." You little shit, do you know how much effort it takes to get these? "
" Oi, stop it, that's enough." Kara looks dead into the old man's eyes.
"Yea, whatever," says the old man and leaves the place.
"Hey little girl, what is your name?" Kara asks her," No, please don't hurt me, I will not eat anything, and won't steal anything from now, so don't hit me," she cries.
Kara pats her head, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, but first, what is your name?"
She replies, "Magma." "Why did you steal the food then?" Kara asks her softly. "Because I don't know how to get food," She says as her cheeks start getting red with more tears.
"Don't worry, I will help you for now and hope you will help me too, for I am gonna make you as pretty as that young pretty lady right there," as he looks at Seka, he points his hands towards the corner of the alley.
She slowly looks as his hand guides her. She sees Seka looking at her.
"Ohh, shit! I got found out," she comes out of hiding. Kara takes out his cellphone and dials a number. A few minutes later, a man in a black suit comes. Kara says," This big bro will help you, so go with him, ok, there is lots of food waiting for you." Kara looks at her smiling, she smiles. "And big brother, your name?" she asks,
"Call me Big bro Kara,
"Yeah, I will." She smiles and leaves with the man.
"So Seka, what are you doing here?" Kara asks her with a smile.
Seka looks at him, Blushes, "I thought I would help the girl, but you did that so."
" Well then, shall we g-"
"help meeee!!!!" They hear a sound, "Wait, who is that? Isn't it Mizuno?" Kara says.
Seka adds, "And why is he running like that?" They look a little closer, they see a big fish is chasing him, and there is Chio as well, eating Takoyaki "hot hot," she keeps saying, running.
"I see now." Kara looks at the situation with confusion. Mizuno gets behind Kara, Chio gets behind Mizuno, "hot hot" still talking. The fish comes straight for Kara, then Kara gives a deadly stare to the fish the fish slowly loses its pace and control.
It starts to slide, stops in between his legs," What just happened?" Seka is in shock; her heart still pounds." What happens to a fish when it's out of the water?" Kara looks at Seka and smiles.
"That makes sense, I guess, anyway it was kind of cool you know", Kara blushes, Seka looks at him and starts to get red and then explodes with emotion.
umm yup yup Chio nods with takoyaki in her mouth,
She sees Seka getting unconscious. "Seka, what happened? What did this pervert do to you? Do you need help?"
Kara replies, "Common that's rude to say."
Seka can hear their fight as it slowly fades away.
"Seka?" She opens her eyes, "Why do you keep blushing so hard?" A small boy speaks to him, "Kara? Is that you?" Seka asks her. The boy stares at her. "Did you have a bad dream? cause I don't like it when pretty girls are sad," the little boy says. "It's my memories," Seka starts remembering something.
She remembers they laugh together, play together, and how she shows him her hidden eye, " You see, my mom told me not to show this to just anyone." Seka says. "I think I know why, your eyes are just so pretty that anyone who sees them might fall for you." **** laughs.
"Wait, really?" Seka looks down, blushes.
Another memory…
"Seka, I love you." **** says,
***
Boom!
"Mom"
"Dad"
"Hey Seka, take your brother and run, don't look back, okay?" her dad says, bleeding.
"I never saw him, after that, Kara?"
Seka opens her eyes. There is a giant fish head in front of her, "Wait, am I dreaming?", Fish says," No, there is no chance at all you are dreaming, but why so?"
Seka replies I mean, I am talking to a fish. ", "Fish, what do you mean, fish?" The fish replies,
"What the hell is this?" she shouts. A head comes out. "Oh, it's just you, Chio, so why is this fish here exactly?" Seka looks at Chio, Chio explains," You see that a while ago the owner of the fish cake store came and told us","' This is the love fish which can only be defeated by love interruption."." Wait, did he really tell that thing? " Seka asks in shock," Yea, he did." Chio continues
"It seems your love is very strong, and as thanks, I'm giving this to you," he said.
"Omg, and I was unconscious the whole time?" Seka starts to tear up. "No one will marry me now."
"If it's okay with you, I'll marry you," Kara says while eating fish cakes. "Oh, delicious. Want some, Seka? Here, say—"
"Ahhh! Wait, why are you here?!" Seka shouts in shock.
"You're a smooth one... like literally," Chio says, jealous.
"I dunno," Kara replies.
"And what are we gonna do with all these fish?" Chio asks, looking at the stack of fish cakes.
"Well, it was gifted to you. I don't know, if it's your wish…" Seka begins.
"No, idiot! He gave it to the lovebirds, remember?" Chio knocks Seka on the head.
"Me? What do you mean, me?"
"I mean, you were unconscious in the pervert boy's arms when the whole 'owner' thing happened," Seka adds.
"Wait—you mean in his arms?"
"Umm... yeah, that's what happened," Chio replies.
Seka looks down, blushing slightly. "Should I…?" she begins to think aloud.
"Hey, I think I need to rest for today," she says, looking at Kara and Chio with an awkward smile.

"The professional tournament will begin in 10 minutes. All professionals, please gather in the lobby," the voice announces over the microphone.
"Oh, it seems the tournament is about to begin. Shall we go, guys?" Chio says.
Kara replies, "Why don't you two go? I've got some work to do. See you later.
Seka, that dress suits you. Bye."
"This boy, I will—" Seka mutters.
"Well, that was something... I guess," Chio adds.
Kara exits the tournament audience area and enters the players' tournament lobby.
A man enters the arena.
Everyone stares at the black-cloaked, masked, devilish-looking man with white hair. The crowd's attention shifts toward him as the battle is about to begin.
"So guys, let me re-introduce everything," the voice says.
"Kioku International is the national battle arena of the country. Multiple matches run at the same time. People participate to entertain, earn money, and compete to win bigger prizes. It's a place where people gather to bet, watch, support, grow, and become someone from no one.
Within it is Kioku International Battles, the national battle game.
All players are sent into matches until only two finalists remain. This is the national game to decide the strongest in the country of Lanark.
And I'm Blue, the winner of last year's tournament."
He looks into the camera…
