After discovering a way to read the blank pages on Natsuki's books the three were supposed to go back.
But since Kaneki isn't used to his inherited ability Darkness travel they can't leave for another 20 minutes. so for the time being the three are spending some time together.
Natsuki: alright what games do you have?
Kaneki: CRASH, and... Well that's pretty much it.
Natsuki: same here
Yuuka: I also have CRASH what about we play that?
Kaneki: yeah maybe we should, by the way do you of you have any way to connect our games?
Natsuki: what?
Yuuka: wait I thought we could play online.
Kaneki: oh great! We can't play against each other!
Their consoles require them to be online to join each other's game, and without a way to connect they can't play.
Natsuki: dang it, I was looking forward to play with you two.
Yuuka: well it can't be avoided.
Kaneki: so what now?
Natsuki: I know! Why don't we tell stories?
Kaneki: No.
Yuuka: why not? It sounds fun.
Kaneki: I rather not.
Natsuki: what about a story of a Demon Knight relic you and your friends found?.
Kaneki: wait hold up.
Yuuka: I like that suggestion and since I'm a Demon knight fan as well it might be interesting.
Kaneki: seriously? Sigh~ fine then I'll tell you 1 story but I only have 3 stories.
Natsuki: is it about your friends again?
Kaneki: sigh~ yes.
Yuuka: what are the options?
Kaneki: Sachi, Miyu-chan and Miha-chan.
Natsuki: interesting... In that case what about Miyu-chan?
Kaneki & Yuuka: huh?
Yuuka: why Miyu-chan?
Natsuki: well since she's the reason why we're finding the Crown I thought it would be nice to know about her other relics.
Kaneki: sigh~ fine then in that case I'll tell you about her and the Kabuto shield.
Natsuki's eye's sparkled because she knew what that relic is.
Natsuki: the shield of the first female Demon knight?! And one of the original 7?!
Kaneki: yes.
Yuuka: sounds awesome! (Why did Natsuki suggest stories? This'll only hurt Kaneki...)
Kaneki: alright let's begin.
Kaneki's narrations*
It happened 3 months after we found the Liberator me and Miyu-chan wanted to find a new relic as soon as possible.
During that time the other 3 girls haven't joined us yet on our research for the other relics.
Kaneki: hey Miyu-chan! Wanna find another relic?
Miyu: sure but which one though?
Kaneki: hmm~ in that case can I give you a suggestion?
Miyu: sure knock yourself out.
When she agreed I went through her books and found one book about a relic that Demon Queen Hiragi had before she hid it to the place where we would eventually find it.
Kaneki: The Kabuko shield.
Miyu: really?! That's one of the original 7 Demon Knight relic's!
Kaneki: yup, this will be a great find, so what do you think?
Miyu: yes! Let's do research immediately!
And so we started our research.
Miyu: hey Kaneki! Look at this!
Kaneki: "if you seek the symbol of protection, you must find the symbol of good luck and prosperity and mix it with the flower of death, paper dipped in Demon blood and then pour the mixture to that bloodied paper" I see! So we need to find some beetles and some Higanbana flowers right?
Miyu-chan: correct, but we also need your blood are you okay with that?
Kaneki: I'm okay with it! It will be great!
It actually took us 2 weeks to find that hint. Anyways.
After we found all the necessary items we first crushed the Beetles to a fine paste, then we added the Higanbana flowers and after mixing the two Ingredients we poured the mixture into the bloodied piece of paper.
It created a map.
Kaneki: amazing! How is this possible?!
Miyu: I don't know but this some awesome new data! Good thing I took a video of it!
Of course she took a video to rewatch that awesome moment.
Miyu: alright! Tomorrow night let's follow the direction of the map!
Kaneki: yeah!
And the next day we both did what we usually do playing with our friends and when night came we head out but...
Miyu: Kaneki... Why are you wearing that weird looking armor piece and why do you have a gun?
Considering the last time i went out at night my mom died.
Cut!
Natsuki: hey! Hey! Hey! That came out of nowhere!
Kaneki: oh sorry, I shouldn't have said that...
Yuuka: you got that right you should take a break since... you know...
Kaneki: it's alright I can handle it.
Anyways after our little chat about my armor piece and Jera (my web gun) we left and followed the map.
Apparently the map was showing our location and it showed a path we should take on it.
So we followed at some point we ended up in the forest then probably around midnight we found it.
The Kabuto shield, it was on a statue with a writing saying.
"Ye who weilds the shield shall gain the power of Kabutan"
Miyu: it's beautiful...
She was hesitant so she looked at me.
So to motivate her I said.
Kaneki: if you don't take it I'll just take it for myself.
She was a bit mad so she pouted and she finally took the shield off the statue.
And so.
Miyu: we did it! We found the Shield!
Kaneki: yeah, congrats.
Miyu: thanks for the help Kaneki! I really appreciate it!. Higan-kun let's be best friends forever okay?
Kaneki: Yeah! Sure!
Miyu: I want to be with you forever!
Kaneki: same here!
End of his story*
Kaneki: and after that we went home though we were caught then scolded at.
Yuuka: Haha~! That was sure something! But it was fun right?
Kaneki: haha~ yeah it was fun I could never forget that she was my best friend after all...
Natsuki's thoughts*
(He's smiling... Even though the story was about the so-called Best friend who abandoned him... But it seems he enjoys it so I guess it's a good thing)
Yuuka's thoughts*
(He still remembers... My best friend really thought of me as his best friend... Even though he forgot my face he still remembers the that fun time we had. It makes me sad to think I would be able to have that kind of fun again but... I will do everything I can to fix my relationship with him and then... I'll stop being this fake me)
Yuuka: you really look happy huh? Kaneki? You must liked her a lot
As she said that Kaneki...
Doki!
Kaneki: Haaa~! haa~!
Natsuki: Kaneki-kun?! Whats wrong?!
Kaneki's thoughts*
(Crap why did I tell that story?! It should've been sealed but why?! Arrgh! It hurts!)
Kaneki: it's nothing... Well it's almost time so you two be ready alright?
Natsuki: sure... (There's something wrong with him.)
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Shit! I messed up! Why did I say that?!)
Kaneki: well it's almost time for us to go back so be ready.
Natsuki & Yuuka: okay!
Kaneki: and another thing.
Yuuka: hmm? What is it?
Kaneki: don't tell anyone about what happened today, you know about the bear?
Natsuki: I don't plan to.
Yuuka: alright if that your request Kaneki, by the way can I call you by your first name? I mean since we're both friends with Natsuki it would be fine right?
Natsuki: sounds like a great idea! Right Kaneki-kun?!
Kaneki was hesitant but seeing how they both have sparkling eyes Kaneki...
Kaneki: fine! Whatever!
Yuuka: yay!
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Dang it, the progress today felt a bit forced but at least it's progress next time I'll probably go here again with him alone I just hope it will happen)
Will Yuuka be alone with Kaneki? And will she ever make better progress? Only time will tell
