Ryo thought the nightmare was over.
The ninja men were gone. Ayane had stopped clinging to him. And nobody had died.
But Haruka and Misaki?
They weren't letting it go.
Haruka (crossing arms, glaring): "A date with Ayane, huh?"Misaki (smirking, cracking knuckles): "How interesting."Ryo (sweating): "H-Hold on. It was fake!"Haruka: "Then let's have a real one."Ryo: "Wait, WHAT?!"
🚨 Haruka and Misaki had declared war. 🚨
And Ryo was the battlefield.
The next morning, Haruka dragged Ryo to the school gym.
Ryo (groaning): "I thought dates involved food and romance."Haruka (tying her hair back, grinning): "This is training."Ryo: "That's not a date, that's torture."Haruka: "Same thing."
First activity? Push-ups.
Haruka: "Come on, Takahashi! Do 50!"Ryo (lying on the floor): "I'm dying."
Second activity? Sparring.
Haruka (grinning, cracking knuckles): "Try to hit me."Ryo: "Oh, I'd love to—" gets thrown across the gymHaruka (smug): "Weak."
Third activity? Carrying Haruka on his back for "stamina training."
Ryo (struggling, carrying Haruka like a piggyback ride): "H-Haruka… you're heavy."Haruka (blushing, punching him): "S-SHUT UP! KEEP RUNNING!"
🚨 END RESULT: Ryo got beat up, gained zero romance points, and lost three years of his life. 🚨
Haruka (smug): "See? My date was way better than Ayane's."Ryo (dying on the floor): "You're insane."
After barely surviving Haruka, Ryo was kidnapped by Misaki.
🚗 She took him to the most expensive shopping district in town.
Ryo (staring at fancy shops): "I can't even afford to breathe here."Misaki (grinning, waving credit card): "That's fine. I can."
🚨 First stop: Designer Clothes Store.
Misaki (handing him a suit): "Go try this."Ryo: "I don't need a—"Misaki: "GO. TRY. THIS."
🚪 Ten minutes later…
Ryo (wearing a tux, sighing): "Happy now?"Random Women in Store: "Kyaa~ He's so handsome!"Misaki (smirking): "Not bad. You almost look rich."
🚨 Second stop: Fancy Restaurant.
Ryo (staring at menu): "These prices… I'm gonna cry."Misaki: "Don't worry, I'll pay. You just have to do one thing."Ryo (suspicious): "…What thing?"
Misaki smiled sweetly.
Misaki: "Feed me."Ryo: "NO."
🚨 END RESULT: Ryo lost his dignity, Misaki got what she wanted, and the restaurant staff assumed they were engaged. 🚨
Misaki (smug, sipping tea): "Clearly, my date was better."Ryo (exhausted): "I hate everything."
4. The Winner? Neither.
By the end of the day, Ryo was half-dead.
Ayane (watching, sipping juice): "Oh? You guys look tired."Ryo (collapsing onto a bench): "They tried to kill me."Haruka & Misaki (yelling at each other):"My date was better!""No, mine was!"
🚨 Final Result: They both lost. 🚨
🚨 Ryo lost the most. 🚨
And so, his suffering continued.
