"Hey, hey. I'd give anything to fall on someone's boobs any day." Akeno joked. When she was lightly punched in the shoulder by Toki, she burst out laughing at the very idea. "Take it easy man."

"...Last time I was in that situation, three or four sick fucks branded me a pervert and chased me around town for a month." The man grumbled. Bad, bad memories. He had to beat them up half the time just to get away. Why were people against him all the damn time?! It was an accident!

"Hm, I wonder." Akeno calmed down from her laughter. When Hideki mentioned a maid, she didn't seem at all surprised. "Oi, Tachibana, you know what a maid cafe is? That shit's standard over here. If you get into western stuff as much as I do, you'll start realizing this country is actually pretty fucking weird." Should she... Should she buy her own maid outfit?

Kinky~! I'm sure Ta-kun will love it~!

"Eh, it's okay I guess. To each their own..."

For a moment he looked at Akeno with a confused look at the comment, before he realized she was kidding. An internal sigh of relief sounded inside his mind, as he wasn't sure if her boyfriend would have approved of such notion. He looked like a dead serious person, after all.

"Oh man, that sounds pretty bad. But at least they stopped harassing you, right?" In a way, he should count himself lucky that all Noriko did was just push him aside and pretend that didn't happen. A reaction he certainly was not prepared for.

But then Akeno stated what maid cafes were, something that struck him as weird. He merely looked at her with a 'I know, dummy' look, before doing a side glance, and muttering something among the lines of 'I have been there before.' "I mean, I just didn't expect someone to come in such an attire. I figured she probably just came from working in one."

"I hope so. Knowin' my luck, they're just lying in wait and conspiring something to get me killed or otherwise suffer a lot." Toki answered, and seemed to fully believe this notion. Akeno shook her head, having the completely opposite stance.

"You'll be fine. People have lives. From what you told me on that they just wanted to enlarge their social penis." It made sense to her anyway. Three dudes playing knights in shining armor for some girl they never knew without bothering to get the truth out of the situation... Seemed fairly straightforward to her. "That said, if you end up in the hospital again, I'll be more than happy to bring you boxers like that time."

"Akeno!" Said woman snorted. She didn't resist teasing the man, and tapped him in the shoulder.

"Hey, hey, relax. I'm just joking."

Hideki frowned at Toki believing that some group of people still had it in for him. He believed that he was just a victim of an unfortunate circunstance, and that it was unfounded for him to be stalked like that. He was about to say something, when Akeno made the comment about the boxers.

Okay, he couldn't keep it anymore.

He let out a mre audible chuckle at it, as Toki reprimanded her for it. "Oh man... Sorry, haha." He said, as he calmed down a bit. "Oh yeah. Akeno, how's your manga work? Did you get new customers over the spring holiday?" He did vaguely remember she drew stuff on that day he met her, was that still a thing?

"You people..." Toki grumbled under his breath at the incessant teasing by the other two. He leaned back in his chair out of spite with a thud, the seat nearly lifting off the ground, and he crossed one arm under his chest, the other hand being used to grab his beer bottle so he could chug it outright. That made two things he really wanted to forget about that afternoon!

"Hey, chill out. We're just messing with you." She shook her head. Some people really couldn't take a joke and maybe she pushed it too far, given Toki's mood. Instead, she shrugged the whole situation off seamlessly and opted to focus on Hideki's line of questioning.

"Eh. It's been slow. Just moved 'n all, kinda puts a damper on things." She shrugged. "Though I'm thinking of either finishing the storyline or putting it on some sort of hiatus. The workload's a massacre nowadays." College in the morning, working out and daycare in the afternoon, manga at night... Her stress levels were through the roof.

Good thing we have Ta-kun to take care of that little issue~

Hideki's smile sort of waned a bit when Toki showed he was clearly displeased with their attitudes. He guessed he couldn't help laughing alongside Akeno, given how absurd his situation was, but once that was dying out, now he was feeling genuinely guilty for that.

He took a sip from his drink, and then listened to her answer. "Oh man, that sounds pretty hard. Remind me, what was your manga about again? I think I know someone that could be interested in them, if that helps." Although he felt a bit weird recommending manga to his math teacher.

The kid with the ghost god thing in his head thought that was weird.

"Dudebro hunts shit at midnight. It's right in the title." Akeno shrugged. Cookie cutter shounen so to speak, except the background characters were also given a personality and backstory so the world would feel more alive. There was also no way of telling who'd live and who'd die either. Perhaps she should end it with the main character's death?

"If you need a spare issue or two I'm sure I have them at home. Might as well."

In the meantime Toki couldn't help but look over his text history again. Only then did he start realizing just how abusive the woman was, and how much of an idiot he was for keeping her around for so long. Suddenly the 'that bitch' title created out of spite made a whole lot of sense...

"Ooh, sounds interesting! But hey, you need the income, I wouldn't mind buy one off you." Granted, he really didn't know if Ryouta would like it, as he had no idea what his taste in reading material was, but he could still try. And hey, even if he doesn't like it, at least he'd have something interesting to read, right?

"you are not going to read it."

There was a big chance that he might not read it.

As he took another sip of his drink, his eyes went over to Toki, who seemed to be looking at his phone with a pretty focused look. He did look a bit... Sad? Or was Hideki just seeing things? He wasn't sure if to ask if he was alright, or what is it that he's looking at, since he felt Toki would just hand wave his question away. For a moment he thought of something to keep his mind away from whatever is bothering him, and then he had an idea.

An idea that came with a slight giggle.

"Hey, Toki." He said, restraining his chuckle to compose himself. "Bananaphone."

Akeno might be pretty confused.

"No worries. Friends are friends, I'm not gonna charge you." Akeno shook her head and shrugged. It's not like she could even charge for the magazine it came in legally, or so her contract stated. She'd probably just send him the manga in a zip folder over the Internet or something...

With the mention of Banana Phone though, the woman seemed surprised. "Wait, what? You finally watched the video?" She had been bothering the man to watch it for a few months, but he always found an excuse not to do so; she really thought it was Toki's kind of thing. Was she right?

"...Oh God, no more..." Toki grimaced. It looked like she was dead wrong. "I can't hear it anymore... That was way too much, man. Why did those things even exist?" That left Akeno confused and highly curious, to say the least.

"Wait, what things? What's the matter?" Her gaze shifted from Toki to Hideki, hoping to get a response.

But actually, she knew what he was referencing. Well, kind of.

Hideki merely chuckled as Toki pretty much remember what happened to them. "Hehe, I don't know, I still find it enjoyable, oddly enough." That much was true, it was weirdly catchy to him. But then he turned to Akeno to explain what he meant. "Actually, during one of our expeditions, we encountered a... Weird Shadow shaped like a banana. It touched me and made that song play in your head. Pretty crazy stuff." The Ruins were definitely a strange place to generater such an enemy.
