RE:BEGIN - The new beginning of the unfortunates

"Garchomp can't fight anymore, the winner is Rattata. You can continue to the next floor." said the referee robot, announcing that the match has ended and Mi-Noo able to go to the next floor.

He's already in 20th floor. He already beat many of his opponents. He already spent hours in those battles, waiting for Kanako to return.

"Isn't it has been too long for Kanako to not call us?"

"I know, I also have a bad feelings. But let's try to be positive. I believe she just lost her way to get inside."

"Yeah, I hope so..." Those two continue to get into next floor.

Meanwhile, Saki, Hana, and Kanta are still in the lobby. Watching how Mi-Noo winning battle by battle and just keep going, they start to worry.

"He said he has a plan, but why he just keep battling with those random trainers?" said Kanta.

"I know, something doesn't seems right." Saki added.

"Didn't he say to leave everything to Kanako as we must be aware of something happened here?" Hana asked.

Those three fell in silence for a moment. At least, until Kanta break the ice.

"I'm gonna sneak in too."

"Kanta, don't do that. We leave this to Kanako because she already learnt to do it."

"Yeah. Like Mi-Noo said before, we need to be aware here."

"Tch... Fine then."

Those three became silent again, watching over Mi-Noo who once again win a battle and get into next floor.

Saki clench her fist on her lap. She is Verry worried right now. All the thing she can do is hoping that all her friends is okay, even Hiroki who still with Kaede.

"Mom? Isn't that Hiroki and Kaede-san?"

"Oh, you're right, Nont! Let's greet them!"

Nush and her kids decided to walk towards those two. Seeing Hiroki and Kaede on a bench, she feels like everything was finally settled.

"Kaede~ Hiroki~"

But once they turn their face towards Nush...

"HOLYMOLY! Are you guys okay?!" Nush panic.

"Ka-kaede-san... Your face..."

"Hiroki too.... Those snots.."

"Uhh? Oh... Hi everyone... Looks like me and mom just cried a little bit too much, hehe."

"Yeah, and we ran out of tissues."

"NONT! MY BAG!"

"Y-Yes Ma'am!"

Nont give Nush's bag as she quickly get the tissue she has and wipe those waters on their face, all of tears and snots.

"Phew... All done!"

"Hehehe, thanks Auntie Nush!"

"No problem. Now, let's get back to the rose tower. Your friends are there right? And it's going to be dark soon."

"Ah, yeah... You're right. Come on Hiroki, let's get back to your friends."

"Yup... Okay mom!"

All of them walk back together. And since Kaede and Hiroki are walking behind Nush and her family, they start to talk to each other again.

"Hiroki, thank you..."

"Mom, you said that million times."

"Then, I should say one billion more."
