Gotta Catch Them All

A week had passed since Finn registered with the Hunter Guild in the Philippines. Even though he only had the Divine Dogs, he was still ranked B, thanks to his massive mana reserves.

Right now, however, he was buried under a mountain of white rabbits.

More than a thousand swarmed him, multiplying endlessly.

Damn rabbit just can't find it, Finn thought, struggling to move.

Then, suddenly—solid ground.

He crouched and launched himself forward, breaking free from the suffocating pile. Landing in a clearing, he turned and saw the massive dome of rabbits he had just been trapped in.

Above it, the main rabbit, marked with a symbol on its chest, continued spawning duplicates.

Finn smirked.

Drawing his dagger, he hurled it forward.

"finally found you Rabbit, and guess what it's rabbit season"

The dagger pierced the main rabbit, and in an instant, all the duplicates vanished.

Finn let out a sigh of relief, stretching his arms.

"Knew I could do it even without the Divine Dogs," he chuckled.

With Rabbit Escape now under his command, his next goal was Piercing Ox. But as he checked his mana reserves, he hesitated.

Only a quarter had been drained, yet he felt cautious.

Taming Piercing Ox will take a massive swarm… not risking it.

He walked over to the sixth tree, grabbing a water bottle he had stashed earlier. Taking a deep drink, a thought suddenly hit him.

Wait… why don't I just go to the sea?

A second later, he slapped his forehead.

"Right. The only beaches I know are public… and I can't exactly get permission for a private one."

Then, a grin spread across his face.

"Ha! I know just the right person for that. Or rather… the right woman."

As his mana replenished, Finn got up.

"But before that... I need another Shikigami."

That same day, he captured Gamma, the Toad.

Finn stood outside the student council room, balancing a heavy box filled with paperwork. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.

"Enter," a voice called from inside.

Pushing the door open, Finn stepped in, his left hand occupied with the box. Inside, only one person was present—

Suki Rengoku.

The student council president sat behind her desk, her mint-green hair swaying slightly as she glanced at him. An orange-and-white cap rested atop her head, matching the jacket draped casually over her shoulders.

"Hey, Rengoku, I got the circulation box. Where do I put it?" Finn shifted the weight of the box.

Suki pouted, crossing her arms.

"Nee, Finn-san, didn't I tell you to call me Suki?"

Finn rubbed the back of his head, looking away.

"Ah… sorry, Suki."

She sighed. "Just put it here," she said, gesturing with her lips to the side of her desk.

Finn stepped forward and set the box down. As he turned back, Suki pulled out her phone and quickly snapped a picture of his back.

When Finn turned around, he caught a glimpse of her holding the phone. But since there was no flash, he didn't think much of it.

"Umm, President…" Finn started.

Suki immediately put her phone down and smiled at him.

"What is it?" she asked sweetly.

Finn hesitated, rubbing his arm, his gaze shifting.

Just say it, Finn. But… do I really need to ask?

After a moment of internal debate, he finally spoke.

"…Can I ask you for a favor?"

Yes, yes, yes! Suki thought, holding back a victorious smirk.

"Of course! What do you need?" she asked, her tone dangerously cheerful.

Finn avoided her gaze, his voice lowering with each word.

"…I need a private beach."

Suki tapped her fingers against the desk, a mischievous smile creeping onto her face.

I hate the unpredictable nature of women, Finn thought grimly.

At the same time, hidden in a corner, a certain girl was watching.

Antoneth.

Her fingers curled into fists, her heart pounding.

Okay, Neth. You can do this. Just say it—

"I love you. Be my boyfriend."

She took a deep breath and started walking toward Finn—

But then—

A helmet suddenly dropped in front of her.

She froze.

Then, her eyes widened.

That woman.

The one she told Finn to meet.

That woman was now hugging him.

Snuggling into his chest.

Antoneth's fingernails dug into her palm.

That b!tch… so that was why she stopped me!

Frustrated, she kicked the ground, grabbed her bag, and ran off.

But in her eyes… was pure determination.

The two "fake lovebirds" sat close together.

Thanks to Suki's schemes, they were practically glued to each other.

She glanced in the direction Antoneth had run, clicking her tongue. Then, with a smirk, she plopped herself onto Finn's lap, resting her head against his chest.

"Is this really what a fake couple does?" Finn asked, raising an eyebrow.

Suki nodded without hesitation.

"Yup. It's more convincing this way."

Then, she puckered her lips, leaning in.

Finn blinked.

Wait… this is getting kinda—

But before he could finish his thought—

Her lips pressed against his.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

But then—

He kissed her back.

After a minute, they pulled away.

Suki's eyes gleamed with mischief.

"I love you," she whispered.

Finn looked at her—at that knowing smirk—and exhaled.

"...I love you too," he replied.

---

its fast pace right but Suki already "know" Finn before this and grade 11 they were in the same class and since then they were good friend but Suki only saw Antoneth at grade 12 because she was at a different school,

and now for my thought's,

who here watched the full series of love to ru all of it do i continue?
