Best friends Mom's joy and Childhood friends Mom's worries

July 19, 2042

The day of researching to find the Crown of Urizen has come and the Relic research/expedition group (and Ryueki cough Cough!) Will soon be seeing each other.

At the Higanbana household*

Knock knock!

Miku: hey! Get up! Its why are you still in bed its already 8:15!

Kaneki: yawn~ what is it? Why are you so loud~

Miku: aren't we supposed to do research for the Crown soon?

Kaneki: ... OH RIGHT! I FORGOT! GET CHANGED QUICK WE NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL-

Miku: Onii-chan its Saturday so there's no school today.

Kaneki stopped moving and just stared at the ceiling.

Miku: Onii-

Kaneki: AAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHH! Why did i forgot!

He then began to sulk.

Miku's thoughts*

(He's totally sulking haha~)

Miku: hey cheer up at least you didn't go to school and embarrassed yourself.

Kaneki: ...

Miku: c'mon if you're not going to make breakfast I'll do the cooking.

Kaneki: I'll be making breakfast now!

Kaneki then went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

At the Tanaka household*

Shiro: why is Kaneki-chan screaming so early for?

Shiro looked at her daugther who has an embarrassed expression on his face.

Shiro: do you know what happened Shi-chan?

Shino: mmmh, yeah... Kaneki forgot that today is a weekend so he was probably panicking because he didn't want to be late but Miku-chan probably reminded him.

Shiro: really? Hehe~ that's good by the way I have something to ask you.

Shino: really? What is it mom?

Shiro: why did buy those Manga over there?

Shino was nervous.

Shino: w-w-well y-y-you see mom i just thought it would be great to read some manga again.

Shiro: I see, well then have some fun reading them.

Shino: I will (i actually bought those for our research, since those were written by Demon Queen Hiragi's father, Demon knight Yusei)

Ping!

Shiro: Shi-chan no phones while eating remember?

Shino: sorry, it's a message from Kaneki.

Shino's thoughts*

(A voice message?)

Shino clicked on the voice message.

"EVERYONE I MESSED UP! OUR RESEARCH MEETING WILL START AT 12 P.M! GO TO THE SHRINE GATE IN THE FOREST!"

Shiro: Research? Wait a minute! Are you and your friends finding Demon Knight Relics again?

(Crap!)

Shino: yeah, we got a hint from Sasachi..

Shiro: its great that Saa-chan came back to Shimotsuki and to think she found a hint, well which relic are you finding kids finding now?

Shino: The Crown of Urizen.

Shiro: oh that's- PFFFFFTTTT! COUGH! COUGH! DID YOU SAY THE CROWN OF URIZEN?!

At the same time at the Mirai household*

Yuuki: REALLY?! YOU KIDS ARE GOING TO FIND THE CROWN!

Yuuka: yes mom, later we'll be doing research again, I'm honestly really excited (except I'm really nervous because HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO INTERACT WITH KANEKI!)

Yuuki: in that case, I'll make you kids some food so you kids don't get hungry.

Yuuka: Mom! We're not kids anymore!

Yuuki: I know, but I'm still gonna make you all some food so you wouldn't go hungry.

Yuuka: there's 10 of us doing research.

Yuuki: wait what?!

Yuuka: yeah, so Sachi asked a few of our classmates to join so there's 10 of us now.

Yuuki: oh I won't be able to cook then...

Yuuki looked sad.

Yuuka: don't worry mom, besides I bet Kaneki made some food that you taught him to make for everyone.

Yuuki then smiled.

Yuuki: you're right! He is Tohru's son after all! He is a does cook for his friends like his mother so he'll definitely won't let you all go hungry!

Yuuka's thoughts*

(She's really happy now since I mentioned him)

Yuuki: well if he does make food for you all then give him my thanks alright?

Yuuka: sure mom, well I'll be going to my room now I'll be preparing to go to our new research base.

Yuuki: sure~

Back at the Tanaka household*

Shiro: listen Shino don't make sure that Kaneki doesn't get into too much trouble alright? And don't easily trust those classmates okay?

Shino: yes, mom...

Shiro: alright then, go prepare and be safe when you get there alright?

Shino: mom, we won't meet yet until a few hours from now.

Shiro: but you have to be prepared soon.

Shino: alright alright I'll prepare.

Shino then walked to her room.

Shiro: Shino...

Shino looked back at her mom.

Shiro: make sure Kaneki-chan doesn't get hurt alright?

Shino: yeah mom, I know...

Shino's thoughts*

(Mom is always worried about me but for some reason she is very worried when it comes to Kaneki why is that?)

At the same time Shiro has her own thoughts in her head.

Shiro's thoughts*

(Tohru-chan your son looked more depressed than usual but i hope Shi-chan and those girls can cheer her up after all he has a burden that you and him share)

At the Mirai household*

Yuuki's thoughts*

(That boy Kaneki I really hope he still gets along with Yuuka and those girls, its really great to see my daugther hang out with Kaneki he is so kind to them hehe~ just like his mother)

A few hours later, 12:00 p.m*

Yuuka: I'll bee going now Mom! See ya!

Yuuki: come back for dinner alright!

Yuuka: i will!

At the Tanaka household*

Shiro: stay safe Shi-chan.

Shino: I know, bye.

Shiro: bye...

With that Shino and Yuuka started to go to the location given to them
