chat between former childhood friend and new friend

After telling his story Itsuki asked Kaneki about his friends resulting in him going on a walk.

Itsuki: what's with him?

Chikao: you shouldn't have ask him that question he hasn't seen his friends since 3 months ago.

???: wait really?

Chikao: yeah, Sachi had to go to a different school and as for the other 3 they disappeared without a trace.

Ryueki: maybe the other 3 were just hallucinations in his head?

Chikao glared at Ryueki.

Chikao: they were not hallucinations! I've met them and they are real!

Shino: hey no need to yell Class rep Higanbana-kun might hear you.

Chikao: sorry, but anyways you guys shouldn't ask or mention anything about his friends okay?

Natsuki: yeah, sure Class rep.

Keiko: you can count on us.

Itsuki: I have to apologize to him again tomorrow.

After a while Yuuka decided its a good time for everyone to go to sleep.

Yuuka: alright then, EVERYONE! ITS TIME TO SLEEP!

???: finally I'm feeling sleepy now!

Keiko: alright Itsuki-kun lets go to our tent now!

Itsuki: I hear you kei-chan!

Yuuka: Oh Yeah! Shino-chan can you tell Higanbana-kun to go back?

Shino: yeah... sure (Yuuka you fool!)

Some thoughts from their classmates*

(Mirai-san is probably using this opportunity to get rid of on of her rivals)

(Mirai-san is using Kaneki to get rid of one of her rivals?! This isn't good, But! I can't tell Kaneki)

Some thought Yuuka was trying to use Kaneki to get rid of one of her rivals.

After a while everyone went to their tents and slept.

But a few were still awake.

Miku's thoughts*

(I hope Onii-chan and Shino-Onee would get along soon, the way his face looked while telling that story he.. looked happy)

Yuuka's thoughts*

(Shino I'm giving you as many chances to talk to him as possible please don't waste them)

Chikao's thoughts*

(Things are going smoothly but I have weird feeling for some reason)

But one person's thoughts were negative.

Ryueki's thoughts*

(Dammit! I didn't get as much attention! And Natsuki-chan was disgusted by my cooking! I'm supposed to be the protagonist! Grrr!! But whatever on the 3rd day/night I will unleash this monster to attack us and I will save everyone and maybe Natsuki will see my cool side!)

(Author: this guy sigh~ I am really annoyed with this guy, this guy has main character syndrome)

Meanwhile somewhere near camp*

Scratch!*

Sword-san: [what are you doing?! Kaneki-chan?!!]

Kaneki: I don't know! Why did it tell that story?!

Scratch!*

Kaneki: what a pain! What is going on with me?!

Sword-san: why don't you talk with Shino-chan? Maybe you'll get better.

Kaneki: She is not Shita-chan.

Sword-san's thoughts*

(He is rejecting the current Shino-chan... I can't see his face but I can tell he is pain)

Behind a tree nearby*

Shino's thoughts*

(I... Am not me? He doesn't see me as me?... Of course I've changed. not only he doesn't remember my face but he also doesn't see me as Me anymore... How can I fix our relationship? Should i.. talk to him?)

Shino showed herself to Kaneki.

Kaneki: oh Tanaka-san what are you doing here?

Shino's thoughts*

(C'mon! Say it!!)

Shino: its time to sleep so you must get back.

Kaneki: oh I see well I'll get going now see ya tomorrow.

Kaneki walked passed Shino and headed straight to camp.

Shino's thoughts*

(Ahhh! I messed up!! I was supposed to talk to him!! What am I supposed to do?!!!)

She was not happy for not being able to talk to her childhood friend and she sat down and was about to cry but before even a single tear would drop she came.

Natsuki: hey Tanaka-chan! Why aren't you going back to camp yet?

Shino: Mizutani-san?! What are you doing here?

Natsuki: well i wanted to see if you had any progress on making Higanbana-kun your friend.

Shino: sorry to disappoint you but no progress. I was planning to talk to him but I was frozen in fear cuz his eyes they looked terrifying, so instead of talking I told him to back to camp to sleep.

Natsuki: really? Well.

Natsuki sat down with Shino.

Natsuki: You shouldn't be afraid of him he is completely harmless unless provoked.

Shino: why? Because he looks like a girl?

Natsuki: nope, because he is kind.

Shino's thoughts*

(I already know that about him)

Natsuki: Tanaka-san if you want to be his friend try showing him your kindness.

Shino: my kindness?

Natsuki: yes, if you try helping him he might get interested being your friend.

Shino: unlikely. He doesn't accept help that easily.

Natsuki: yeah you're right.

Shino was curios on one thing so she asked.

Shino: why do you want to help me become friends with Higanbana-kun?

Natsuki looked at Shino and said.

Natsuki: well I want him to be happy.

Shino: happy?

Natsuki: yes, happy he looks very miserable we're not friends (lie) but for some reason I want to help so I made it my mission to get friends for him but its my own personal secret.

Shino: don't worry i won't tell.

Natsuki: thanks.

Shino: but you know? I don't think I'm the right person for this plan of yours why? Because just now I was afraid of him.

Natsuki: it doesn't matter if you're afraid of him or not if you want to be his friend you must try your best, if you cnt do it tomorrow do it tomorrow, I know you can be his friend here's a word of advice "Don't give up on him"

Hearing those words Shino felt relieved.

Shino: i won't!

And she was more confident than ever.

Natsuki: that's great! Now you must plan for tomorrow!

Shino: I will! Thank you for the talk Mizutani-san.

Natsuki: you're welcome.

After their chat they began to go back to camp.

Shino's thoughts*

(Thank you Mizutani-san I will try my best and I'll do my best to become your childhood friend again Higanbana-kun you're irreplaceable to me and I don't want to lose you)
