??Chapter 43??

Izana glanced at Y/n who shrugged before looking back at Shinichiro and saying, "I'm fine with playing cards."

"Alright. Y/n, take him to the dojo while I grab the cards." Shinichiro said to the girl who nodded.

"Let's go." Y/n pointed forward, making her way to the dojo as Izana followed.

"Sooo, you feeling less nervous?" Y/n asked as they sat against a wall.

"I guess so. I still don't feel like meeting the others though." Izana replied.

"Don't worry. There's nothing to be worried or anxious about. They're all losers. Well, Emma isn't completely a loser, she's just a bit weird sometimes, but aren't we all?" Y/n grinned.

"Yeah. But you're weirder than me. You act like a loser sometimes too." Izana chuckled.

"Huh...?" Y/n blinked. "I'm not weird nor am I a loser! Maybe you're weird- no, you are weird. That's why you think I'm weird, but it's really you."

"Whatever you say~" Izana grinned.

"I'm back." Shinichiro said as he sat in front of them and began to shuffle a deck of cards.

After distributing the cards evenly, the trio lifted their cards and stared at them.

"Let the game begin."

"Phew. We made it back right on time." Emma said as she and a few others arrived at the Sano household.

"Do you think he'll like it?" Takemichi asked, looking at the cake in his arms.

"Definitely! It's the best flavor, so there's no way he won't like it." Mikey grinned.

"AHHHHHHHH! DAMN IT!" They heard a shout.

"Hm?" Emma owlish blinked.

"SCREW YOU! I HOPE YOU TRIP IN FRONT OF A CROWD AND GET LAUGHED AT!" Someone else yelled.

"Was that...? Do you think they're fighting?" Takemichi sweat.

"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE, SHINICHIRO! YOU BETRAYED ME!"

"HUH?!"

"DON'T ACT SO INNOCENT! YOU TWO ARE THE ONES WHO BETRAYED ME! I HOPE BOTH OF YOU TRIP!"

"Oh no...Why are they fighting?" Emma worriedly wondered.

Thump

Slam

"Hello?!" Mikey shouted as he and the other two ran inside.

They were greeted by an empty house, making them confused. But then, they heard sounds coming from their left and they ran outside to the next building, the sounds growing louder. They glanced at each other and nodded before running into the dojo.

"Hey! No fighting!" Mikey exclaimed.

"What happened?!" Takemichi asked.

"Hm?" Y/n cocked her head to the side as she and the other two looked at the newcomers.

"Fighting? Who's fighting?" Shinichiro asked.

"Huh?" Emma blinked.

"Weren't you guys fighting? We heard you yelling from outside." Mikey said.

"We're playing Uno. And we were yelling because we got into a bit of an argument." Shinichiro explained.

"They're mad I won last round, so they ganged up on me, but Shinichiro became a traitor." Y/n added.
