Mikey's POV

"Mikey-kun?" Takemicchi called

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong?" He asked, maybe because I've been sighing the whole time.

"Well I'm in a big crisis"

"Crisis?"

"Yeah if I don't solve it, the world might end soon." I said in a serious tone.

"W-what it is?" He asked nervously and I stayed silent to add more tension. I could see that he was sweating profusely. I took a deep breath as he gulped

"Our anniversary is coming soon and I don't know what to do." I said in a serious tone.

"Eh" he said

"I mean there's nothing I could think of." I said

"W-what about buying her a gift?"

"Takemicchi, it's not that simple." I said

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Y/n, she's super-duper wealthy you know. It's just not obvious because she doesn't show it but she could buy this shop in one card swipe." I said and sighed

"Really? She's that rich?" He asked and I nod

"Where do you think Toman's funds came from? She's a treasure and a treasurer at the same time." I said.

"I-is that so?"

"She also pays for Baji and Kazutora's damages."

"Damages?"

"They like setting cars together so Y/n would pay for the troubles. Although the two would always barely survive her disciplinary measures." I said her being angry is like summoning a demon. I still love her though.

"H-heeeh. Then what about taking her on a date?" he suggested

"We always do that so it would feel like a normal date. I need something special." I said

"This is really hard." He said

"I know, I barely got something last year." I said

"What did you do in the past?" he asked

"The first was a motorcycle ride date, the second was a surprise picnic date, and last year was a movie date in a cinema and played arcade." I recalled

"I didn't think that you put too much effort into this kind of thing, Mikey-kun." He said

"I'm doing this because I wasn't able to the other time." I said

"Huh?"

"I was so focused on the gang that I never really thought about things like that. I was really a bad boyfriend but she stayed till the end." I said

"Mikey-kun" he mumbled

"That's why I want to make these times more special." I said and we stayed silent.

"Did you try asking her what she wants to do?" He said and I looked at him

"How's that special?"

"Listen, Mikey-kun. A woman's heart and mind are different than men's. Hina told me that even a simple walk together would feel special to her. So just ask her what she wants and be there with her." Takemicchi said seriously.

"Alright, I'll take your advice. Thank you Takemicchi." I said with a smile.

"No problem at all." He said

"Now that crisis is over, let's move on to a problem." I said

"huh?"

"The upcoming battle with Valhalla." I said and be just listened

"Now that Kisaki is not in Toman, the past Moebius members are not included in our gang. However, since Kazutora did not kill my brother, the anti-toman faction is not present." I said

"Oh yeah, Kisaki was the past 3rd division captain. Did he try to make a deal again?" He said

"He approached me after our fight with Moebius. He said he would get Pah out of jail in exchange for the position. I refused, of course, I don't need him or his tactics." I said

"That's a relief."

"I almost killed him right there. If only someone wasn't listening." I said in a serious tone.

"Listening? Who?" he asked

"I don't know. They were hiding after all." I said

"Anyway, Valhalla is a larger gang compared to Toman. They have at least 300 members while we only have more than 100 members. It's barely half of their numbers." he said

"It's really not the number that we should be thinking about" I said

"Huh?"

"We should worry about what would happen in the fight."

"What do you mean?"

"The thing that I noticed is that even if we prevent some things that would've happened, there would be something to replace it." I said

"That time when you saved Pah's friend with Y/n, Pah would've been less angry that he wouldn't stab Osanai. But he did it anyway because Osanai threatened his childhood friend. In the end he went to jail like last time ." I added

"Then that lead to Peh-yan-kun's betrayal but instead of Draken-kun it was Y/n-chan." He said and I nod.

"In short, we're losing our advantage of knowing the future because of the changes. It's becoming unpredictable." I concluded

"We should be more careful than ever. There are even new people that I didn't know in the last timeline." He said

"Takemicchi, did you have any dreams again or a vision?" I asked and he shook his head.

"How about you?" He asked and I said no.

"We couldn't afford to be careless, I have to look after the others more carefully, especially Baji. I don't want to lose him again." I said

"But Baji-kun won't be joining Valhalla because Kazutora-kun is with us right?" He asked

"I know, I just want to make sure. You should always be careful too." I said

"Yeah, you too" he said

"Anyway, come with me." I said and stood up

"Huh? Where?" He said

"I'll introduce you to my brother." I said and he followed me

When we arrived at the shop, Y/n and Akio-san is with Shin. I told her to come and I guess Akio-san tagged along.

"Took you long enough." Y/n said

"Hahaha, sorry sorry, we just talked about something before we came here." I said

"Y/n-chan?" Takemicchi said

"Hey" she waved

I came closer to them and introduced him to my brother.

"Aniki, this is Takemichi, the one I talked to you about." I said

"H-Hanagaki Takemichi, nice to meet you Sano-san." He said

"No need to be nervous. I'm Sano Shinichiro." He said

They exchanged a few words and we just listened to them. It's obvious that Takemicchi is nervous.

"That's enough introduction, where is it?" I asked

"It's in the back." He said and pointed at the backdoor. I bowed at Y/n which she did the same. I went ahead while she covered Takemicchi's eyes.

"huh? What's going on?" Takemicchi said

"Don't worry about it. We'll just show you something." Y/n said

"O-okay"

"We'll be back. You can wait for me here Aki." she said

"As you wish." The latter replied

I looked at my brother and wiggled my eyebrows with a smile and left before he could react.

We led Takemicchi to the back and Y/n slowly removed her hands.

"Tadaa!" Me and Y/n exclaimed while showing the bike.

"Isn't this.." he said

"Yeah! This is the bike that is just the same as mine. I gave it to you last time after Ken-chin fixed it but we are giving it early." I said

"Think of it as a gift for becoming a member and a captain." Y/n said with a smile and Takemicchi cried.

"Thank you so much" he said while sobbing and I just smiled while Y/n pats his head.

"How about you guys take it for a ride?" She said and I agreed.

"Oh and by the way, Takemicchi.." she added

"hmm?"

"You should use less hair gel. It feels sticky to touch, why not just let it down? You know, like Fuyu-chan does." She said

"Fuyu-chan?" he asked

"She meant Chifuyu, Baji's vice-captain." I said

"I think Hina would fall in love with you more if you do that." She said

"Oh, then I'll take your suggestion. Thank you again Y/n-chan." He said with a blush.

"Of course, you guys take care. Have a safe drive." She said and waved while we did the same before going out.

Your POV

After waving them goodbye I went back to the shop. Jiro told me that Shin had a crush on Aki but he thinks that she's a male.

Slowly entering and sneaking to look at the situation. The atmosphere was silent but not tense.

Aki didn't even move from her spot and stood still and Shin was just glancing at her. I feel like Aki didn't mind him staring so she just let it be.

In the past Aki, I know would've barked at people that look at her and even punch them. She was quite aggressive in the past but she was so disciplined.

After having the conclusion that nothing would happen, I finally came out of my hiding place.

"Heyo!" I said and Shin was startled.

"Welcome back, my lady" Aki said in a monotone voice.

"You startled me, don't just pop out of nowhere," Shin said

"If you have a weak heart then I suggest you stop smoking." Aki said

Oh? What's this?

"I was just startled, I don't have a weak heart. Anyways, where are the boys?" Shin said

"They went for a ride" I said and he nods

"So what did you guys do when we were away?" I asked

"Nothing" they both said

"I see."

I think it's best to tell Shin that Aki is a girl. He looked so confused about himself.

"Aki, can you buy us something to drink?" I asked and she nods. She left the shop and went to buy.

"So, Shin-nii.." I started

"Hmmm?"

"Do you like Aki?" I said and he started coughing.

"W-what's that all of a sudden?" He said

"I saw that you kept glancing at her." I said and he blushed.

"I don't know. I've always thought that just I'm into ladies but now I'm not sure." He said and sighed. Jeez, Jiro look at what you've done.

"What do you mean?" I said, faking innocence.

"I mean, Akio is a male and so am I." he said and I burst into laughter.

"W-why are you laughing?" He said

"II mean why did you think Aki is a guy?"

"Huh?"

"Despite her look and mannerisms, Aki is a she." I said and he was shocked.

"T-that little brat. He was playing with me." He said and clenched his fist.

"A-anyway, good luck" I said

"Huh?"

"If you want to make a move, you can but since it's Aki, it would be hard."

"How so?"

"You'll see." I said with a smile

"Don't tell me she's already taken?"

"Not that I know of" I said and he sighed. Aki came back with a bag of juice boxes.

"That was fast" I said

"Here's your drink, my lady." She said and gave me a (fav. flavor) juice. She took an orange-flavored juice for herself and gave the rest to Shin.

"I didn't know what you like so I bought one each. Choose what you like." She said plainly which make the guy blush but Aki didn't notice it.

"T-thank you but you didn't have to. Anything would've been fine." He said

"I just don't want to disappoint my lady." She said but Shin seemed like he didn't hear it.

Is this a romcom? A dense and serious female lead and a lovesick but shy male lead.

A/n: ShinxAki?

Aki has a hairstyle like that ☝︎

And wears this on business occasions. She would bind her chest that's why it's not too noticeable.
