When Ralts woke up from unconsciousness, it was already evening.
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened at all.
Sabrina was preparing dinner, while Luo Yuan was feeding his Pokémon.
"Ralts?"
Ralts looked confused.
Could it all have been an illusion?
But the emotions it had felt… they had been so vivid.
Ralts couldn’t make sense of it…
Though he didn’t know if she was a capturable character yet, with the other CRYCHIC members already confirmed as capturable, the odds were high that Wakaba Mutsumi was one as well.
He had to at least say something to confirm it.
So, the important question was: how to approach her without arousing suspicion?
Pretending to be a passerby asking for directions was out of the que...

Yahata Umiri checked the time, ultimately deciding not to turn him down.
“Great!” Saku seemed genuinely pleased.
“So, what did you want to talk about?”
Since he’d approached her for a chat, it was only natural for him to pick the topic.

Kikuri instinctively glanced around the room.
“Yes.”
Saku confirmed.
“That’s tricky. I’m not like Nijika. The livehouse isn’t my home.” Kikuri understood the limitations well.
Kita Ikuyo and Chihaya Anon could use STARRY’s practice room whenever a band wasn’t booked because it was owned by Nijika Ijichi’s sister.

Saku didn’t mind Kikuri sticking around to watch the show with him, but wasn’t she performing today as well?
“Our band’s set is later. We’ve got time.”
Kikuri explained casually, pulling out another can of beer to drink.
“I see.”
Saku had come at her invitation, not specifically to watch the show, so he didn’t ...

Kiichi Hougen pushed the door open and was greeted by the sight of a modest table spread with dishes and two small figures sitting quietly, waiting for the meal to begin.
