Both Kuragami and Diana burst into laughter.
"You idiot!"
In the kingdom of Yotr, news spread that Kuragami and Diana were closer than ever. An outsider, got Diana's heart. This caused jealousy amongst the kids their age in Yotr.
Among these kids was Cedric, a proud and ambitious young boy. However as Kuragami defeated everyone, Cedric's envy grew into a burning desire for revenge. He convinced his friends, Lawrence and Tobias, to join him in defeating Kuragami.
One day, Kuragami and Diana are looking in a market for some fresh fruit. The head chef of the palace asked Kuragami and Yuma to go find some fresh fruit for him. But Diana insisted she go with Kuragami instead. Diana is holding a basket.
Kuragami picks an apple.
"Is this apple good?"
Kuragami throws the apple to Diana. She catches it.
"No."
She puts it back.
Kuragami picks up another apple.
"What about this one?"
He throws another apple at Diana. She catches it.
"Kuragami. Do you know how to tell if an apple is good or not?"
"No. Teach me."
"Okay. Catch!"
She throws the apple at him. He catches it.
Diana looks for another Apple. Touching them until she finds the right one. She gets another apple and throws it at Kuragami, which he catches. He is now holding one apple with his left hand, and another with his right.
"Now as your holding them, do you feel or see a difference?"
"Yeah. The one in my right hand is harder and smoother than the one on the left. And the colour on the right one is more red too."
"Yeah. If an apple is firm and has more colour, that means it's a good apple. Look for more of those."
Kuragami puts the right apple in the basket. After a while, they pay for all of the fruit they got. They then start walking back to the palace.
As they're walking back, three pebbles are thrown at them from behind. They both look back.
"Oh. It's you guys."
Kuragami looks back. He sees Cedric, Lawrence and Tobias all chuckling.
"What do you guys want?"
"We want you defeated outsider!"
"Defeated? Why?"
"Do you know how hard people like me work for your position. You're not even form Yotr, yet the princess is very close to you!"
"Ok?"
"What?! Ok?! That's it?! Alright! You will pay for this! You two get ready! We're going to beat this guy to a pulp."
"Right. You guys are gonna beat me up."
"Wait! Stop this! I don't want you guys fighting over me! Cedric! Calm down!"
"Why? You think this guy will beat us?"
"I-"
"It's ok Diana. These guys need to realise that what they're doing is stupid. I'll make them realise this quickly."
Kuragami walks forward. He raises his aura.
"Come at me then!"
Cedric, Lawrence and Tobias all raise their aura and run towards Kuragami.
As they reach him, a large ice explosion is created once again.
As the explosion clears, Cedric, Lawrence and Tobias are all on the floor with bruises around them.
"He has…so much power."
Kuragami crouches down to them.
"Come on guys. This is stupid. Me and Diana aren't even together."
"Wait, you aren't?"
"Nah. And she isn't looking for a lover either. She just wants to make friends."
"She isn't?"
"Hey. Why don't you guys join us."
Kuragami looks back at Diana. She is smiling."
"We can?"
"Yeah. Fighting over her is stupid. It's the same as fighting over nothing."
Kuragami extends his hand. Cedric takes it and he lifts him up.
Kuragami smiles.
"From now on, we're all friends!"
