*Third POV*

"What are you doing" the next thing Koishi knew only to be pulled back by his collar, the next thing he knew his back hit against the wall.

"What do you think you are doing, Koishi?" opening his eyes back up just to see the brown-haired girl right in front of him. Bags almost reached right below his cheeks covering half of her face, the teeth.

"What do you mean, what I'm doing? Shouldn't I be the one to ask you, what are you doing, princess?" Koishi mumbles with his eyes turning a shade darker than before.

"Why are you-" the girl stops, feeling her eyes going wide in response as the box appears right above them.

The stranger meeting task failed due to an unknown error has occurred.

'Once again error? What is the reason behind this error?'

Right then to see the hearts appearing right below it, now just 9 that were fully red a moment ago. The last two hearts just turn gray one after the other, making the girl to take a step back.

"What no no it can't be!" Koishi just stares at the hologram screen, which just glitched in and out. Making Rosette turn her head to look behind her, just to see no one, not even the hooded figure that stood there a moment ago.

'Wait for a second where is the villain just disappeared wait I can't just lose him out of nowhere!!' Koishi though with his eyes scanning all over the place just to find the cashew nut hair girl in front of him.

Koishi just watches the hologram glitching in and out with some kind of error code on it. Making him to squire his eyes looking at it with a confused look on his face with his bow rising in response.

"Where did he go?" looking around the empty hallway with her hands clutched into a tight fist just to cover her mouth the next second.

'The stranger in the empty hallway? That time when I played he was just a stranger which ending will it lead to? It will also be depending on my ending too' Koishi signs in response pressing his lips into a thin line.

Rosette who is just lost staring at the hologram in front of her tabbing random buttons over just. Which only ends up leading to another error one after the other.

"Where are the knights? They should have been here the next second?" bringing her finger up to her lips, bites the corner of her thump Taking her steps forward turning her head back and forth. Koishi just stares at her, only to sign in response, making his shoulder fall.

'I better make my way out of this place or get the out of here' turning away from the girl, being careful as he could step away from the view of the girl. Only to fail in response as his footsteps echo around the long empty hallway.

"Koishi!" Rosette turns her head around, flipping her long hair along, as it sparkles under the sun falling upon him from behind. A small smirk across her face as she slowly brings her hand down, slowly making her way towards Koishi.

'What is it now?'

"DO you know where did that guy go? Or which way did he go?" Koishi is looking at Rosette from the corner of his eyes.

"I don't know" the words just came out from his lips before he could stop himself from speaking.

"Really? You don't know?"

"Yes" fully turning his head now staring right back at the girl who just stood right in front of him looking down at him. The two oranges were just an inch away from touching his face, making Koishi turn his head away.

"Oh okay as you can't really lie to me due to the thing I gave you" learning down whispering right next to his ears.

This only made Koishi raise his bow in response to the confused expression on his face.

'What did she just say? Oh, yea how can I FORGET! The horny tea' breathing out the cheeks that were still red still feeling hot all over his boy. Only made him rub his legs together breathing for the next second.

Do you want to retry?

YES or NO

The hologram once again appears right above his head, making Koishi gulp in response as the girl stares over the side of his face.

"What happened Koishi are you okay?" this only made Koishi glare at her while grinning his teeth together not replying to her at all. Making the girl giggle covering her mouth with her bangs covering her eyes.

"You don't like me any more, right, Koishi?"

"Yes, I don't like you at all, you eyeless freak!!" turning his head back just to see the blank look over the face of the girl.

"Whatever, you won't remember it anyway, but out of all characters I don't like you at all. So I will make sure you end up dead"

YES

Right then a bright light shines right in front of his eyes, making him squeeze it shut as tightly as he could along with some unknown force pulling him back.

Koishi just stood frozen on the spot with his eyes shut closed tight hands in front of his face covering it. Uncovering his face while blinking his eyes a few times just to find himself standing in the middle of the empty hallway.

*'Wait, I have been here before, wasn't it-' *

"Who didn't love you?" making Koishi jump out of his skin hearing the voice right behind him turning around just to see the black hooded figure face covered by the mask. But he can clearly see the red eyes through the shadow of the hoodie glaring at him

Koishi just stared at him with his eyes wide in shock seeing the hooded figure learning down at him. For what seemed like forever Koishi just stared at him with a confused look on his face at the same time shock in his eyes.

"Who didn't love you?" making Koishi jump out of his skin hearing the voice right behind him turning around just to see the black hooded figure's face covered by the mask. But he can clearly see the red eyes through the shadow of the hoodie glaring at him.

"Tak-Tak didn't love me back" the sad and gloomy expression falls over his face looking down at his feet kicking his leg into nothing. "Do you think he would have loved me as beautiful as a cat 'meow' ah~"

"What?"

"Or maybe if I wasn't his bestie would he accept my-" taking a step forward towards the guy who just takes a step back. Koishi freezes on his spot, covering his mouth with his eyes going wide in response,

'No way am I even telling you this stuff, you just-just why does it feel so-so that ugh that word… Yes, why does it feel so familiar? Didn't this guy just disappear when that MC was here?' holding his head as Koishi runs his finger through his hair.

Releasing what he just said and did before has happened before too. Even the guy with the hooded figure acted exactly the same way.

Making it seems as if he really did go back in time right after the No that had flashed in the hologram.

'Wait it happened before right? I said it before, the same thing, or maybe I must be dreaming I guess?'

"Are you okay?" the hooded figure asked, making Koishi look up at him. Blinking his eyes a few times.

"No It's nothing thank you for your concern I will take my leave now," Koishi said with a smile on his face turning around ready to walk away.

"Wait!" the hooded figure feeling a sudden wave of shiver passes through him as he just kept on staring ahead of him.

"Just tell whatever the inner-"

"Inner feelings then about eyeless freak right?" for a moment there was only silence in between them. Koishi could see the red eyes going wide for a moment only to turn back with a blank stare the very next second.

"Yes. But how did you know I was going to ask about that?"
