August 31,2042*
Ku-kun: Hey Why did you call us back?! We still have to find Kaneki!
Mo-chan: Yeah! He's still missing!
Heike: Yuuka, Shino and Miku are in complete despair! They're completely passed out in the Higanabana household!
Miracle & Yanma: we seriously need t find Kaneki now!
???:I know you're all worried but take these drugs. They'll help you recover all the energy you guys had lost.
In an Unknown location, The Mysterious Character had gathered all of the insect familiars in one place as they have completely stopped searching for Kaneki.
???: the thing is... We're going to stop searching for him.
All 5: What?!
Upon hearing that they're going to stop searching, The Insect Familiars got upset.
???: EVERYONE QUIET DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME!
With her yell all 5 insect familiars had stopped and gone quiet.
???: Look. Out of everyone I'm the most worried about Kaneki-chan, but as of right now no one even the girl's voice can reach Kaneki. Finding him will be a waste of energy.
Yanma: But why?! Aren't we going to save him?!
Ku-kun: Yeah! Do you want him to die or something?!
???: Of course not! But what can we do if he just ignores us!
After yelling again, tthe 5 insect familiars quiet down once again.
???: besides, I already have a plan alth this one is probably my dumbest one yet.
Heike: Let us hear it.
Mo-chan: yeah we're really desperate so we'll do anything to help Kaneki.
Miracle: our friends are deeply affected so we'll do anything to help.
???: well here goes... Well...
She then told the plan to the insect familiars.
All 5: What?!
And they weren't pleased to hear it.
Meanwhile*
Natsuki, Sachi & Chikao: ...
Satsuki: Umm Natsuki?
Katsuki: here girls, some hot chocolate...
Natsuki, Sachi and Chikao were completely depressed. They had searched all night for Kaneki but couldn't catch him even though they had encountered him a few times.
Natsuki: We're too late... Kaneki is going to die...
Sachi: we couldn't find him in time. He's going to kill himself...
Chikao: our voices can't be heard anymore...
The 3 of them completely lost hope of saving Kaneki.
But Natsuki's dad suddenly asked them a question.
Satsuki: but are you girl's okay with that?
All 3: !!!
Katsuki: Dear?
Satsuki: if you girl's give up on him now, he'll definitely kill himself.
Natsuki: But Dad... What can we do? He can't hear us anymore.
Satsuki: is that a reason to give up?
All 3: ...
Satsuki: That Higanabana Boy us important to you girls right? If you want to stop him from killing himself, then sulking here won't help.
Sachi: But what can we even do Mizutani-san?
Chikao: Kaneki can't even hear us anymore. Something similar to his current situation happened a while back but... Back then he hadn't lost his hearing and it was the only that reason we were able to help him.
Natsuki: Yeah... If he can't hear us anymore... What can we do?
Satsuki: Natsuki, I don't know what to do. I don't know practically anything much about your friend besides his liking for sweet and being a good boy. But you and your friends know him more right?
Natsuki, Sachi and Chikao widened their eyes as they heard those words.
Natsuki: ...
Satsuki: So? What are you girls going to do? Sulk here and let him die? Or go save him?
And upon hearing his words, the 3 girls had remembered their memories with Kaneki.
Natsuki: Kaneki...
"Ever since we've started being friends it has been more fun for me too."
Sachi: Kaneki...
"Hey Sasachi, we'll be together forever right?"
"Of course, we'll be together no matter what!"
"Yay!"
Chikao: Kaneki...
"Oi Chi-chan, are you hurt anywhere? Seriously your parents suck. Just bare with it a little longer okay? I promise you'll be saved soon"
As the 3 girls had remembered the moments they had with Kaneki.
The 3 of them then stood up.
Sachi: Kaneki is definitely going to Shimotsuki Stadium.
Chikao: Whatever he's doing to thse crazy girl's must be something related to how his wish would be granted right?
Natsuki: Let's go, let's try to stop him from making his wish and make him happy.
Sachi & Chikao: Yeah.
They then left the house.
Katsuki: Heh, to this you'd be able to do that.
Satsuki: did I looked cool there?
Katsuki: yup!
Meanwhile*
Miku: Mmmh~ Onii-chan... Onii-chan!
Shino & Yuuka: AHHHH!
In the Higanbana residence where Shino, Yuuka and Miku had resided after passing out had finally woken up.
Swoosh~
The 3 girls had started looking around hoping that Kaneki had returned home, but.
Miku: Onii-chan still hasn't returned...
Their hopes were immediately crushed.
Yuuka: What time is it?...
Shino: 7:30... The event will start in 30 minutes.
All 3: ...
Miku: is there really nothing we can do?
Yuuka: No... There's nothing we can do...
Shino: it's hopeless...
The 3 of them had no hope left of saving Kaneki, and they couldn't bring themselves to go to Shimotsuki stadium.
Buzz~!
All 3: huh?
The T.v in the living room suddenly turned on without warning.
Miku: why did the T.v suddenly turned on?
Shino: I don't know.
Yuuka: hey there's something being written.
Shino & Miku: what?
As they looked at the T.v, what they saw was a message saying.
All 3: "Don't lose hope" what?
The 3 of them didn't know what it meant.
25 minutes later*
Natsuki: we're here....
Natsuki, Sachi and Chikao had arrived at Shimotsuki stadium.
Sachi: do you have any plan in mind?
Natsuki: No... But I think we should try 5o reach out to Kaneki again.
Chikao: Not a good plan, but there's nothing else we can do. Besides that.
Natsuki's plan was to reach out to Kaneki, since it is the only thing they could do.
"Attention. The Demon Knight Bout Tournament will start in 3 minutes"
Sachi: doesn't the announcer sounds a bit down?
Natsuki: Yeah, but I guess it makes sense. She seemed to have made a particular liking to Kaneki.
Chikao: Yeah, she even assisted when you two were getting attacked.
Natsuki: well then, let's go get to our seats.
The 3 of them then started walking to the stands where they would sit.
Chikao: Do you really think Kaneki will come?
Natsuki: he will. I know our voices won't reach him but this will probably be our only chance. We must take it.
Sachi: Yeah you're right.
Chikao: only thing we could do now is hope that we could reach Kaneki.
Natsuki & Sachi: Yeah.
As the 3 of them continued to walk to the stands.
Ryueki: Oi Natsuki!
He showed up.
Ryueki: Don't worry I'll free you from that Monster after this!
Ryueki bcame to them and immediately insulted Kaneki.
Natsuki: Get away from me.
Sachi: let's go Natsuki.
Chikao: Yeah.
The 3 girls immediately started getting away from Ryueki.
Ryueki: Tch!
After seeing Natsuki not wanting to be with him, he yelled out.
Ryueki: No matter what! You'll never escapee me! It's your fate to be with me!
He said it loudly even others around heard it.
Natsuki: annoying.
Sachi: that guy is really annoying.
Chikao: yeah.
Natsuki: I wish he would just leave me alone.
After being annoyed by him, Natsuki and Sachi and Chikao continued walking to the stands.
As for Kaneki.
"What's wrong with those girls?"
"Can't they see how better Ryueki-sama is better than that Monster?"
"He should seriously just disappear."
He was in a dark place and "listen ing" to all of the crazy girls comments about him and his friends.
Kaneki: they're right, we should just disappear. Don't you agree?
Kaneki: agreed.
Kaneki: now then, let's make our wish come true.
Back in Shimotsuki Stadium.
"Welcome everyone, to the Demon Knight Bout Tournament"
The event has started.
Sachi: it's starting.
Natsuki: ...
Chikao: let's try to reach out to him.
Natsuki, Sachi and Chikao were at front row, closest to the field where the battle will be held.
Shino: Huh?!
Miku: isn't that Shimotsuki Stadium?
Yuuka: no way... It's showing us what's happening live!
In the Higanbana residence. Shino, Yuuka and Miku were shocked to see the T.v finally show something and it was live footage from Shimotsuki stadium.
"Now then a total of 20 has registered, some that are participating are going to participate in teams, so all those participating give it your all"
Natsuki: it's starting.
"Now play attention to the Jumbotron"
The Jumbotron then turned on, and began displaying 20 brackets for the tournament.
"Now then, let's see who will face who in this tournament"
The Jumbotron then displayed the names of solo participants and teams, it then began distributing them into brackets and then.
"With that done, let's get into it immediately shall we?"
The first battle be.
"Combatants, come to the battle field"
???: go get him Ryueki-sama!
???: Show that piece of shit what you got!
"On the left corner, Itadori Ryueki"
The stadium echoed as the screams of support from many girls filled the stadium.
Natsuki: this is so annoying.
Ryueki: Natsuki! I'm winning this for you!
Natsuki: Tch!
Sachi: this is so annoying.
Chikao: Kaneki is going to appear soon.
As the 3 of them waited for Kaneki to show up.
Itsuki: Hey guys.
Sachi: Itsuki?
Keiko: and me.
Itsuki and Keiko sat down near them.
Chikao: what are you two doing here?
Itsuki & Keiko: to show support to Kaneki of course!
All 3: ... Thanks.
"Now on the right, Kaneki Higanbana!"
As the announcer called out Kaneki's name, he didn't appeared.
???: Huh? Where is he?
???: Is he late?
Itsuki: wait where is he?
Keiko: I hope he shows up to beat that guy down!
As the normal audience was confused to why he hasn't appeared.
???: Coward! Show yourself!
???: He's afraid of Ryueki-sama!
???: He really is pathetic!
The Crazy obsessed girls were going crazy again and then.
Ryueki: Oi! Natsuki! You really like that coward?! You're better off with me!
Natsuki: Tch!
Ryueki was making insulting comments about Kaneki.
Ryueki: Seriously! I can't see how can anyone like such a guy! He's very pathe-
But before he could finish.
Splash!
Everyone: What the?!
Itsuki: It's Kaneki!
A huge pool of black goo appeared, and what came out of it.
Splash!
Hero: ...
Itsuki: E-Eh?!
Everyone: The Hero?!
Ryueki: what the hell is the Hero doing here?!
To Everyone, The Hero of Hell and Atlantis appeared.
But to the Higanbana girls.
All 6: Kaneki...
Itsuki & Keiko: what?
Ryueki: Oi! What are you doing here?! This is not your fight!
Hero: ...
Grab!
Ryueki: Oi what are you doing?!
He held onto his mask and then.
Crack!
Shatter!
Destroyed it, revealing his face.
Everyone: WHAAAAT?!
Ryueki: Impossible!
Kaneki: Sufficient amount.
Everyone was except the Higanbana girls were shocked.
Itsuki: Kaneki is the Hero?!
Keiko: Am I dreaming or something?!
Kaneki: A good friend... Keeps his promises.
The 3rd Battle between Kaneki and Ryueki will now start.
