Kaneki Nom! Mmmmh~ shou gwod! Gulp! You guys sure you don't want some?
Everyone: No thanks.
After their first game of Super Strike Football, Team Shimokaze was waiting in their room for their next game.
But as of now they're just waiting patiently, and as for Kaneki. He's just eating some snacks.
Kaneki: Man you guys did awesome~
???: Please we didn't even do much at all, you, the girls and these guys did all the work.
One of his female classmates were referring to the Higanbana girls and his acquaintances.
Kaneki: you guys were giving our opponents a hard time getting to the ball, even if you guys didn't scored you did great in preventing most of them from getting close.
???: T-Thanks again.
Sachi: Wow, Kaneki's way nicer than usual? What's the occasion?
Natsuki: isn't Kaneki always nice?
Sachi: I guess so.
Kaneki: I'm in a good mood right now, we won the first game with ease and I got to eat snacks!
Chikao: I guess that's why you're a bit more nice huh?
Shino: By the way, where's Tsukuyumi-san, Drako-san, Claudia-san and Arin-san? Shouldn't they be waiting here with us?
Yuuka: now that you mentioned it, ever since our game was done I haven't seen them since.
Miku: Yeah where could they have gone too?
???: they said they were called for an important meeting.
Kaneki: Hmm? Really? Nom
???: Yeah, before they left they told us they needed to attend to an important meeting.
Kaneki: Hmm~ I wonder what the meeting is about? Maybe they're just going to talk to their friends because they might be our future opponents.
Natsuki: that may be so.
Kaneki: You guys sure you don't want snacks?
Miku: No.
Kaneki: okay.
Meanwhile*
???: Phew~ looks like Kaneki-chan is a bit more stable now, thanks for taking care of him you 4.
Tsukuyumi, Drako, Claudia and Arin was meeting with the "Announcer" of the W.S.S.F also known as the mysterious Character who was not only watching over Kaneki for a long time.
But also was the person who was helping out The Higanbana girls from time to time.
Tsukuyumi: we quite literally done nothing.
Drako: that's right, we don't deserve your praise.
Arin: And don't try to be humble.
Claudia: yeah it would be annoying to hear.
???: Hehe~ okay okay. Anyways, as for our plan, things are going well but it seems like Kaneki-chan will be faced with some malice again in your next game.
Tsukuyumi: What? Again?
???: that's right, there's a chance he'll get hit by Akuma Castle again and if he absorbs malice directed towards him again... He might go crazy like in the Battle Royale.
Arin: Tch! So annoying, where is this malice even coming from?
Upon hearing Arin's question l, she asked with hesitation.
???: Sigh~ no one else knows this but me so don't tell anyone got it?
All 4: sure.
Upon hearing their answer, She began explaining.
???: The people who had malice towards Kaneki-chan are girls.
Drako: What? Girls? But from what we know he doesn't interact with any girls besides those who became his friends.
Tsukuyumi: that's right! Why would girls hate him for no reason?
???: that's the thing though, there is a reason and very horrible one too.
All 4: what reason?
???: remember Itadori Ryueki? The guy who Kaneki-chan defeated quite easily?
Drako: the pathetic human who has too much pride? Yeah I could tell that he's a narcissist.
???: Yeah that guy, he is for some reason very popular with girls and they are even obsessed with that guy.
Claudia: Oh... I kind of get where you're going.
???: Yeah. It's very troublesome, and because of Kaneki-chans rampage 2 weeks ago he almost broke that guy's arms so he is particularly very hated by the girls who likes that guy.
Tsukuyumi: so you want us to do something?
???: Well yup, I want you guys to win your next game as fast as possible and make sure he doesn't absorb as much malice as possible.
Tsukuyumi: Got it, we'll not hold back our kicks next round.
Drako: you can count on us.
Claudia: well then, shall we head back?
Arin: yup! Let's go back!
The 4 then left the room.
???: Sigh~ this is such a pain, I should have rigged the randomizer to not choose any of the girls obsessed with that guy and that guy in particular. For someone who was made to be very smart I'm pretty dumb.
"By the way Tachi-chan, the next event will be the 3 legged race right?"
"Yeah, there's probably going to be some kind of tougher version of it though"
"Whatever it is let's do our best!"
"But we need to finish this event first you two"
"Yeah yeah"
In one of the monitors in the room, it was showing Kaneki and Team Shimokaze.
???: Hehe~ Kaneki-chan is really happy around his friends huh? I'm glad. They're the key to his happiness after all.
She was watching Kaneki and his friends from the Monitor with a smile in her face.
???: Kaneki-chan, don't worry you'll get the power to protect everyone soon. Just hang in there alright? I'll do everything I can to help you.
She said while touching the monitor.
???: Shino-chan, Yuuka-chan and Miku-chan, you three may had hurt Kaneki-chan. But...
Flashback*
"K-Kaneki? Hey what happened to you? H-Hey! What happened?! Why are you crying?! N-No way did we do this to you?"
"Hey Kaneki look I found an old boon that was made by a Demon Knight. H-Hey why aren't you responding? My best friend... What have I done?"
"Onii-chan... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't know what happened I don't know why I felt that way towards him... I'm sorry I've hurt you..."
Flashback end*
???: you three didn't know what came over you and when you realized you've hurt him you tried but you couldn't fix the strained bond you had with him. But you don't need to worry.
She looked at the Monitor again.
"I didn't expect you to actually use your chest to catch the Ball Shino"
"H-Hey! Don't just say that! It's embarrassing!"
"Looks like having big breat has it's uses huh"
"Chi-chan!"
"Okay stop teasing her you two, we get it but they do make her slower"
"Stop making fun of me! Seriously!"
"Hehe~ sorry"
???: you have each other as allies. And me your strongest ally.
After saying that, She began to move once again.
???: alrighty then, time to rig the game for when Kaneki-chans team faces that guy's team, I'm going to make it look very hard for both of them, but in reality make it more difficult for that guy's team.
She started rigging the game.
