*It’s early in the morning and Nitsuj is eating breakfast while talking to Lisa*
(Nitsuj): So Lisa, I’ve been here a few days and I’ve noticed that the agents here don’t use guns.
(Lisa): We prefer to use gadgets as opposed to guns. Which reminds me.
*Lisa pulls out a small box*
(Lisa): A little gift for your mission.
*Nitsuj opens the box and sees that it’s a watch*
(Nitsuj): Cool. So what does it do, shoot lasers?
(Lisa): Oh please, that’s so 1995. It’s an anti-gravity watch. With this, Newton’s Law of gravity can go straight to hell. Just be careful not to overuse it. Using it too many times in a row or for long periods of time will give you motion sickness.
*Nitsuj activates the watch and he begins to float above the kitchen table*
(Nitsuj): Woah! Now this is innovation.
*Anthony walks by to see Nitsuj floating*
(Anthony): I’ve asked the residents to refrain from floating in the kitchen.
*Anthony continues to walk away as the AI girls and Jack Bros. enter the kitchen to see Nitsuj floating in the air. The AI girls are all wearing casual clothes*
(Nitsuj): Hey guys. Looks like you girls have a few things planned for today.
(Isis): Indeed we do. Me, Chibi, Mira, Yume, and Neo are all going to the art museum.
(Neo): They have a special exhibit on 3-D drawings and I’m interested in checking them out.
(Shizuku): Boring. I’m going to check out the venue for my match this evening.
(Nitsuj): Match?
*Nitsuj floats back down to the floor and deactivates his watch*
(Nitsuj): I don’t remember you having any matches scheduled in the UK.
(Seras): We made it official last night.
(Yin-Yang): Vicky Chesslow found out about Shizuku being in town.
(Lisa): Vicky Chesslow? The Black-Hearted Spade?
(Baron): You know her?
(Lisa): Of course. She’s one of the best underground fighters in the UK. How do you know her?
(Nitsuj): Her and Shizuku have been in a flame war for the past months. They’ve been fighting over who the toughest fighter is and taking shots at each other in their promos.
(Shizuku): Vicky was scheduled to compete this evening but her opponent backed out due to injury. Apparently, someone told her I was in the town and she took to Twitter to bash me and call me out. Her video pissed me off so I responded and we set up a winner take all match. My Bare-Knuckle title against her Crown Jewel.
(Seras): Me and Yin-Yang are going there to be in her corner and make sure everything is on the up and up.
(Corbin): We’re going as her hype men.
(Nitsuj): Well all of those activities sound fun. Mind if I tag along.
(Lisa): Need I remind you that you’re a wanted man in the city. I rather you stay low and not attract any unwanted attention. The same goes for you Kenji.
*Kenji comes out from hiding behind the wall*
(Kenji): *Chuckles* Oh hello there. You guys all seemed like you were having fun and I didn’t want to interfere.
(Lisa): You’re not leaving the grounds Kenji.
(Kenji): What? I wasn’t going to sneak out. I was just simply waiting for an opportunity to invite Nitsuj out tonight.
(Lisa): Weren’t you listening? You’ll put yourselves in danger.
(Kenji): Not to worry. I know a place where nobody would even dream of ratting us out to the cops. Plus, it’ll be a good place to calm the nerves before our big mission tomorrow night.
(Lisa): Hmm~, alright. But I’m going with you to make sure nothing bad happens.
(Kenji): Fine by me. Come on, it’s not like we’re a bunch of troublemakers looking to start a fire.
(Lisa): That’s exactly what you are.
*After a bit more chatting everyone goes off to do their own thing. The AI girls head off into the city to do their activities. Isis, Chibi, Mira, Yume, and Neo head to The Cartoon Museum. The girls have a good time seeing all of the exhibits especially Neo and Chibi. There would be times when the girls would get hit on by guys, but they would write them off or ignore their advances. The girls soon enter the 3D exhibit where they see paintings that range from backgrounds to people to action heroes to anime characters. While sitting on a bench Neo takes out her notebook and begins sketching them*
(Neo): This truly has been a wonderful experience. Thank you all so much for inviting me.
(Yume): We figured you would like it.
(Neo): It’s a memory I’ll keep engraved within my mind.
*Everyone gathers around to look at Neo’s drawing where she perfectly captures the painting in front of her*
(Isis): Your art truly is amazing.
(Mira): Your skills are truly on the same level of manga artists. I feel like you could make your own webcomic if you felt like it.
(Neo): Oh no, I’m nowhere near as good as them.
(Yume): Don’t be so modest. Take pride in your talent. After all, it’s much better than what Nitsuj can draw.
*The girls begin to laugh at Yume’s comment*
(Neo): Still, what he lacks in drawing he makes up for it in other areas.
(Mira): Yes. This is so true. He’s an excellent writer that puts passion into every review he does. Even I can’t help but get swept in by his writing and lose track of time.
(Chibi): You know I’ve been curious, why do you draw so much Neo-chan? For someone who calls it a hobby you sure are very good at it.
(Isis): That’s a little rude Chibi.
(Chibi): Sorry.
(Neo): No. It’s alright, it’s actually a good question. For me the reason why I draw so much is so I can remember all the places I’ve visited. In the time that I’ve been with Kenji we moved from place to place, traveling the world, and meeting so many people. Those are all precious memories to me and want to draw all of these places and people to remember them.
(Yume): Yeah, Kenji told us about your past. It’s funny, for us we were born with our talents in personality, but you, you were born a blank slate and developed your personality and talents to make them your own. In our eyes, you’re amazing.
*Neo is touched by what Yume just said*
(Neo): You know, I thought the same way about you guys. Despite coming from different timelines and being blessed with amazing skills you guys never let it go to your head. You train every day to improve yourselves, to get stronger, and never doubt yourselves.
(Isis): Yes, well we really can’t allow ourselves to fall behind Nitsuj. That guy always winds up attracting trouble and we need to be in tiptop shape to face whatever dangers come our way.
(Yume): Knowing him, I’m sure once we get back we’ll have another madman coming after us. What about you, what do you intend to do after this is all over?
(Neo): I’m sure I’ll be hitting the road with Kenji again.
(Mira): Did you ever think about joining us?
*Neo gets a shocked look on her face*
(Neo): What!?
(Mira): I mean why not? We get along very well, we got plenty of room in the system, and you’re a capable fighter. You be a nice addition to the team.
(Neo): But my knowledge of anime is limited, and my reviewing skills aren’t all that good.
(Yume): Oh Nitsuj could easily fix that. When I met him I knew nothing about anime and yet through his training I’ve become a world-class anime reviewer.
(Isis): Besides, I’m sure Nitsuj would be happy to have you around. Don’t tell me you haven’t thought about it? After all, you have kissed him.
*Neo blushes and buries her face in sketchbook out of embarrassment*
(Neo): H-H-How did you know that?
(Yume): *Chuckles* It was written all over your face. Not to mention something had to happen between you two after that lovely night.
(Chibi): So give us the details, who initiated the kiss? Was it lips or cheek?
(Neo): It. . .it was on the cheek, and I initiated the kiss.
(Isis): Figures.
(Mira): Just like Nitsuj to let you make the first move.
(Neo): Wait, others have kissed him too?
(Isis): Oh yeah, the four of us here have kissed Nitsuj on the lips at least once.
*Neo blushes at this information*
(Neo): I’m so sorry, I wasn’t trying to steal him or anything. I just got caught up in the moment and-
(Mira): Easy. None of us are romantically involved with Nitsuj. We’re just friends. Just like you we got caught up in the moment and kissed him.
(Chibi): Nii-chan is very good at setting the mood.
(Yume): He knows the right smile and words to make your heart skip a beat.
(Neo): So, I’m confused. Are you all in love with him?
(Isis): I would not call what I feel for Nitsuj love like that between a man and a woman. Rather, respect and admiration. I’ve been with him since the beginning and he’s treated me and Chibi right. He never looks down on us and treats us no differently then he would a normal human.
(Mira): For me, Shizuku, Yin-Yang, and Seras the Nitsujs of our worlds are no more. Even if we were return to our worlds there would be no one or nothing there waiting for us. Nitsuj invited us to stay in this world with him. He welcomed us with open arms and gave us a place to call home. Even though he’s not my Nitsuj or the Nitsuj of the others we can’t help but be drawn to him and want to be around him because of how much fun he is.
(Yume): For me, Nitsuj is my savior. He had no reason to come and save me and yet he did just because I asked. His selfless act really did puzzle me. Why would he go so far for an AI he just met? His answer, because I’m me and I deserve to live life the way I want to live.
(Chibi): I love Nii-chan. Nii-chan is great! He plays with me whenever I’m bored, he’s patient with me whenever I get stuck on something, he always protects me, and whenever I don’t understand he’s there to help me figure it out. For me, Nii-chan is someone who can never be replaced.
(Isis): I guess what we’re trying to say is the love we feel for Nitsuj may not be actual love, but a different kind of love. The love that makes us care for him and want to keep sticking by him. I’m sure you feel that way about Kenji.
(Neo): Yeah, I get what you’re saying. I do feel that way about Kenji, but it’s a little different. I view Kenji as a father figure and nothing more. When he told me all about Nitsuj, I came to see him as a big brother. Someone who I could protect. But after meeting him and talking to him, I came to see him as someone who would accept me for who I am no matter what. I feel like with him, I’m where I belong.
(Yume): Sounds like to me you have your answer.
(Neo): I suppose. But what about Kenji? He’s been like a father to me, I can’t just abandon him like that.
(Isis): I’m sure Kenji will understand if you talk to him about it. I bet deep down he wants you to do what you want to do and be happy.
(Mira): Just know that no matter what choice you make, we’ll always be your friends.
(Chibi): And if Kenji-san doesn’t let you go, I’ll summon my dragon to take him out.
*Everyone chuckles at Chibi’s comment*
(Isis): There you go. With Chibi backing you up, you have nothing to worry about.
(Neo): Thanks everyone. After we save the UK I’ll talk to Kenji about it. Until then, let’s enjoy our time here.
*After their talk everyone gets up to check out the rest of the exhibits with Neo having a bright smile on her face and feeling more motivated than ever to make tomorrow’s mission successful*
