Kaneki: so you're all here. Good now let's talk about the Expedition my expedition plans.
Kaneki met up with his research team under a tree near the schools track field to discuss their expedition plans.
Azusa: so we're really close to going on an expedition huh?
Kaneki: correct, I pieced together all the hints all of you gave me. besides Itadori, Emi-kun and Azusa, I think i know where it is located.
Chikao: really?
Shino: is it going to be far?
Kaneki: yup, and since most of you already heard we'll start the expedition around Friday after school.
Itsuki raised his hand.
Kaneki: what is it?
Itsuki: well, where exactly is Akuma Castle?
Ryueki: are you dumb? We already know it is underneath the home of flowers.
Itsuki: I know that, but where exactly this home of flowers is at?
Kaneki: Hokkaido.
Everyone froze for a second.
Sachi: HUH?! HOKKAIDO?!
Miku: THAT SO FAR AWAY!
Yuuka: oh yeah, Hokkaido does has a lot of flowers so it makes sense that it would be there.
Kaneki: well not exactly, it probably is in Hokkaido but it's probably underneath a certain spot of Hokkaido.
Natsuki: a certain spot?
Kaneki: yes, and it's most likely the house where my great-great I don't know how many greats grandfather lived.
Yuuka: do you mean?
Kaneki: yup, the man who Demon Knight Higanbana was in loved with.
Azusa: are you certain?
Kaneki: yup, many of the hints you all provided me were mostly from stories where the main heroine would loses her love to an unknown girl two years after she and the guy last seen each other. Similar to what happened with Higanbana and my Grandfather.
Sachi: now that you mentioned it, it really does makes sense.
Ryueki: but how did the castle end up there?
Kaneki: like I know? Anyways, did you all made your decisions on which helmets you're picking?
Shino: yup.
Sachi: already did.
Miku & Yuuka: yup!
Itsuki & Keiko: we chose ours and they're matching!
Azusa: I already made my decision.
Chikao: yup!
Emi: yeah.
Kaneki: good, what about you Itadori?
Ryueki: nah, I'll just bring my own suit.
Shino: wow, cool.
Yuuka: you have your own suit, nice.
Miku: what does it look like Ryu-Onii-chan?
Ryueki: you'll see.
Ryueki'w thoughts*
(Heh! See that? I'm getting more attention, and when I debut with my own suit Natsuki would be see how cool I am, like these dumb sub heroines)
Kaneki: really? Good that means less work for me.
Ryueki: huh?
Kaneki: well, with that out of the way let's discuss our plans for real this time.
Yuuka: what do you have in mind?
Kaneki: so, my plan is before we leave for Hokkaido, we must prepare a lot of food if we can't do that we'll need to bring a lot of money to eat at restaurants once in a while on our way there.
Sachi: I'll cook some food.
Yuuka: I'll do some cooking too.
Azusa: I can probably do that.
Ryueki: I'll coo-
Kaneki & Natsuki: NO!
Ryueki: eh?!
Natsuki: no offense but your food suck they they taste like poop.
Kaneki: yeah! When I ate your food in our camping trip it tasted so bad that I wanted to remove my own stomach.
Ryueki: but.
Shino: they're kinda right Itadori-kun.
Yuuka: yeah, no offense.
Ryueki: tch.
Kaneki: alright, I'll also do some cooking enough for us to eat for 3 days. Once we prepare our food after school on Friday you guys wait at the schools gate and I'll bring Higanbana Kaze to pick you guys up.
Azusa: is that the Soaring Dragon you have?
Kaneki: yup, I gave it some upgrades so it'll have enough space for us to put some of our equipment that Azusa and Emi will provide.
Sachi: I'm very excited to see it.
Kaneki: anyways, for the entire time we'll be going there I will the one driving, and you guys can just sleep in while I drive.
Shino: are you sure? Wouldn't you need the most rest out of all of us?
Ryueki: then what about I drive?
Kaneki: do you have a drivers license?
Ryueki: ...
Kaneki: I thought so. I'll drive up for at least 12 hours and we'll stop for at least an hour for me to eat a bit and catch a quick nap, then we'll head towards Hokkaido again immediately, then we'll search for the place where the gate to Akuma Castle is located.
Chikao: hey that's my hint.
Kaneki: yes, it most likely refers to a gate or portal that will bring us to Akuma Castle and I think it's located somewhere in my Great grandmothers house or at least underneath it.
Keiko: but wouldn't it be destroyed by now? So how can we find it?
Kaneki: yes it might be destroyed but, there's another hint to it's location.
Sachi: really?
Kaneki: yup, I was able to piece together hints Sachi, Shino, Tachibana-san and Itsuki & Keiko provided.
Miku: eh?! Really?!
Kaneki: yup, and what I've found is they all mean this "the flower will reveal itself when the blood of the flower of death and flower of love mixes and comes into contact with family".
Everyone: family?
Yuuka: flower of death and love... Wait I get it!
Kaneki: so can you explain?
Yuuka: sure! We need Tsubaki and Higanbana flowers and mix them together and put them into contact with "family" and that family probably refers to those who bares the Higanbana name.
Azusa: wait are you saying we have to cover him up with that mixture?
Yuuka: no, I think we need to make him eat it.
Kaneki: that's correct. So once we reach Hokkaido we need to get a some Tsubaki and some Higanbana flowers and mix them together and then we'll use me to find the gate.
Sachi: that's a good idea.
Shino: I agree.
Natsuki: but what are we going to do when we pass the gate?
Kaneki: simple, we stick together and we don't split up, and in the event that somehow happens, try your best to find each other but be sure to mark your steps so you don't go completely lost.
Sachi: great!
Kaneki: and here's the most important part, when you find the Crown, don't touch it. I want Miyu-chan to be the one who touches it so it could bond to her.
Azusa: Miyu-chan? If I'm guessing that person is the one who started past relic research and expeditions?
Sachi: yeah, and since she's not here Kaneki wants to get it for her.
Emi: I see.
Kaneki: and to be safe you all have to make contracts with me so you guys won't touch it. And if you refuse you aren't allowed to go with us in the expedition.
Everyone: Got it!
Ryueki's thoughts*
(Damnit and I wanted to get that relic for myself. Well, I don't want to leave Natsuki with these guys so I have no choice but to obey)
Kaneki: I'll use Miyu-chan's familiar Heike over here.
Heike: Hei!
Kaneki: to get the relic and after we get it I'll use Darkness travel so all of us can go back to the surface safe and sound.
Natsuki: i like this plan.
Kaneki: good. So what do you guys think?
Yuuka: there some flaws but I think this is our best option.
Azusa: I agree.
Sachi: same here.
Miku, Shino & Chikao: agreed.
Emi: yeah, I'm confident in this plan.
Kaneki: good. Since it's decided we'll go with my plan.
Everyone: yup.
Kaneki: good. After school I'll start making the suits and you guys should start preparing after school too and bring all the stuff you guys prepared tomorrow.
Everyone: got it!
Kaneki: alright, with that out of the way meeting is over. Be prepared everyone.
Querxes: everyone! Gather up! We're about to start again!
Kaneki: good just in time. Well then do your best everyone.
And so their meeting ended.
Kaneki: alright, after this I'm going to make these suits!
Kaneki only needs to make the suits and the others need to prepare supplies they'll need. The expedition is coming closer will they be able to find the Crown?
Meanwhile in an unknown location*
Robeca: I'm sorry, but we can't find Dagon anywhere.
???: damnit, in that case send her to watch over Kaneki-chan.
Robeca: are you sure? She might panic and Kaneki would be confused.
???: it's alright, I think he'll remember her anyways.
Robeca: well... Okay then...
