"N-no nothing is wrong." Fria stuttered over the call with a clear different tone in her voice almost sounding afraid which confused Samuel and Kanzaki.
"Are you sure? It sounds like something happened." Samuel said with a hint of worry in his voice when he noticed the difference.
Despite the way Samuel worried about Fria the way she responded was way outside his expectations, "No! Everything is completely fine! Why don't we go ahead and talk about the tournament." Fria said with a high pitch in her voice that still worried all people on the call except Selena.
Nobody could say anything else at this point since she denied anything was wrong so they could only agree, "Alright, is there any new news?" Kanzaki asked wondering if Fria had been told anything else.
"Yes, I was just texted by my manager telling me something new." Fria informed the group making them all listen closely.
"Wow, that's perfect timing!" Samuel said in surprise since he had been talking to Fria for the past few minutes and heard nothing about this new information from her.
"I know right I couldn't have planned it better myself." Fria said almost coldly making Selena chuckle for some reason.
"So what did they tell you exactly?" Selena asked curiously seemingly very interested to hear more about the topic.
"I was told by my manager that the other team we were going against actually dropped out of the tournament." Fria said making Kanzaki's jaw drop in shock.
"What?! Why?!" Kanzaki questioned in confusion. All teams in the tournament so far had been playing all day with everything they had to make it to this point and for them to suddenly drop out was more than a little surprising to him.
"They said they couldn't go to the convention so they wouldn't be able to play and from what Witch said they weren't willing to get another team to face us that was eliminated." Fria said with obvious uncertainty as if she didn't actually know this information and was only reading it from a script.
"T-that sucks." Kanzaki said with some sadness in his voice. Despite him and his team technically winning the tournament he was still sad he wasn't going to be able to see it to the end for such a strange reason. He still felt the entire thing to be really weird but if that information came straight from Fria's manager there was little Kanzaki could say in the matter.
"Hey man no need to be so down we won this thing!" Samuel shouted with excitement taking Kanzaki out of his gloomy thoughts.
"He's right! It's not like we just walked to this spot in the tournament! We all fought with all our heart and played our best to even make it to the final round!" Selena said in support with clear excitement in her voice.
When Kanzaki was faced with something like this he couldn't help but smile and begin to agree with them, "You're right! You guys all did amazing and I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else!" Kanzaki said with new energy before the group all decided to begin their streams and announce that they had officially won the tournament.
*****
"We did it! We won the tournament!" Kanzaki said with excitement to his chat after leaving the call with the rest of his team. Selena didn't have a stream in the first place and Samuel wanted to talk with his own chat. The one most surprising of the group was Fria who said she had some stuff to do and would talk to them all later.
[Bobisbob: WE DID IT!]
[Sloth_Born: YEAHH!]
[Ludwig: BOIZ THAT'S MY STREAMER!]
[Zenithal: WE FINALLY GOT SEGGZ! Wait did we?]
It was a good evening for Kanzaki as a whole and Witch even announced as he was streaming that his team won the tournament. With this announcement, Kanzaki saw a huge jump in his follower count and could only smile since everything seemed to be going well.
*Buzz buzz*
Kanzaki's phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket which made him confused since he only had a select few numbers with notifications on. However, when he checked who the message was from he wished he hadn't seen it.
[Mom: It turns out I will be arriving a little earlier than I thought. I will be there in the morning, see you soon.]
'EARLY?!' Kanzaki shouted in his mind with worry. He was hardly prepared for his mom to come to his apartment in general much less early. Kanzaki now knew he didn't have a lot of time and quickly ended his stream much to the surprise of his viewers before he began cleaning all over his apartment.
While Kanzaki was cleaning someone saw what he was doing and became confused about the reasoning behind his actions and decided to check for themselves.
*****
*Knock knock*
'Huh? Who's that?' Kanzaki thought in confusion when he suddenly heard a knock on his door. He had been cleaning his apartment for the past hour and was almost done but with the knock on the door he quickly put down the item in his hand to go open the door.
The person that he saw on the other side was none other than Selena who he thought he wouldn't see again until after his mom's visit, "Hey Selena~ What brings you here?" Kanzaki asked curiously.
"Can I not just visit my handsome fiancé?~" Selena said with a smirk as she wrapped her hands around Kanzaki's neck before giving him a slight kiss.
"Of course it's fine~" Kanzaki said happily before replying with his own kiss which made Selena shudder and almost lose her train of thought. However, before she gave in to the feeling of the kiss she glanced behind Kanzaki at the currently mess-filled apartment which made Kanzaki also look.
"Oh, I'm organizing the apartment right now since my mom is coming tomorrow." Kanzaki said with an awkward laugh as he scratched his head thinking Selena might think it was weird for him to do so much when it's only his mom visiting.
However, contrary to Kanzaki's belief Selena had a different response, "Can I meet her?" Selena said suddenly.
