After almost a week of Gensai's interference in the situation, Erika finally found a way to get rid of the school cap nuisance as her redhead leader awaited patiently at the school gates.

As the trio was getting closer to the gates, Yuri and Gensai were meanwhile talking about the pink haired shorty as usual. "So she was like daydreaming the entire class rubbing this specific spot on her cheek and then I told her, 'lemme guess the purple kiss?', then she snapped back to earth and then grabbed me by my ponytail and gave it a good pull almost snapping my neck and was like 'shut up you mud mustache idiot!'", Gensai told Yuri as he did his best imitation of the pink tsundere. "The purple kiss? What is that even? And didn't she get herself scolded by the teacher for doing that though?", Yuri laughed happily at the image of her girlfriend trying to snap her friends neck using his own ponytail. "That's how she called it one day she was in a really good mood and said it was a long smooch on the cheek by her purple girlfriend, of course she quickly realized what she was saying and yelled 'you didn't hear that!'. And yeah she was scolded but we laughed in the end and-", Gensai continued his telling of another Natsuki story but stopped abruptly.

A redhead hot girl walked next to the boy and tapped his shoulder to get his attention. "Hi! I'm Erika's friend, Mika, do you mind if steal this boy from you for a second?", the girl with the side ponytail said as she smiled at the 3 people looking at her. "Not at all!", Erika replied happily. "Whatever you need from me just keep walking with us and tell me, I'll try to help!", the guy with the slightly crooked smile said as he didn't walk a single step away from the other two girls. "Umm, I wanted you to come and have a milkshake with me at the nearby restaurant", Mika replied as she was forced to follow the other 3. "Don't have money right now, sorry fella! Why me though?", Gensai laughed. "Eh... Well I just wanted to know a little bit more about the man that beat 3 guys up, I can treat you on one this time by the way, money is not a problem!", The redhead insisted. "Nah, I'm good, besides I'm on duty here, gotta take care of my buddy's girl or she'll kick my ass", the boy with the school cap laughed again. "W-Well then how about we go to my house and-", Mika muttered trying to convince the guy but found herself cut off. "Nope, a man's duty is sacred, I promised I would take care of my friends babe and that's just what I'll do, sorry! You're free to come along though!" Gensai replied as they were passing right through the gate. "I-I live in the other direction and-", Mika spoke but yet again was interrupted. "that's a shame, be careful then, see ya!", Gensai and Yuri waved bye at the girl that had stayed standing next to the outside of the school gates. Erika's face of disbelief was priceless. "So like I was saying we laughed and then went back to our business, then I looked back to what she was doing like 5 minutes later and caught her writting N+Y all over her notes, she noticed and quickly covered her notebook giving me deathliest glare I've ever seen", the short ponytail guy laughed as he continued his story like nothing happened. "She is so adorable", Yuri giggled. "Yeah, and she's completely head over heels for you, believe me!", Gensai added giving Yuri a thumbs up. The purple haired girl blushed lightly and smiled to the reminder of the love her dear Natsuki felt for her.

Later that night, Erika tried to find an explanation for this failure.

Nevermore: What the hell was that?!
Red Queen: Idk! Don't blame me tho, how could I have known he would reject me like that! No man has ever said no to me
Nevermore: I'm not blaming you, I'm just saying that was really unexpected
Red Queen: Ikr do you think he's gay?
Nevermore: it could be, I mean it's the only possible explanation, he's been friends with the pink shorty who to be honest its kinda cute and apparently never tried anything, and then he completely ignores a hot chick like you...
Red Queen: well if that's the case you should find out and then I could help you some other way, I know some guys
Nevermore: I'll ask him next time I see him then

On the other hand, Yuri and Natsuki's bond kept growing stronger against all odds as a new scheme developed between them.

Purple dummy: I know I am the most selfish and neediest person and I am sorry but, do you umm think we can meet sometime soon? I mean I really value our time together at school but all this memories Gensai has been helping to recall also have made me miss you very very much. So do you think there could be a way you ask your father for permission just one day at least? You see there are many things we still cannot do at school and we used to do when we were just the two of us in my house and please forgive me for being so needy, I really miss that.
Lovely cupcake: ok, first of all, you Queen of Apology kingdom, stop calling yourself that, second, I miss that too but my dad is death serious with this (╯︵╰,) we gotta keep bearing this together, okay?

Purple dummy: always together my beloved ❤️
Lovely cupcake: that's my cheesy Godzilla! (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )

Natsuki knew very well it was downright impossible to convince her father to let her see her lover. However this did not make her feel better as she wanted to grant her girlfriend's wish. The pink haired girl began her search for a solution.

The next day, Erika, Yuri and Gensai went through her daily walk home on Natsuki's orders behind the scenes of course. A little bit into this, Erika set out to continue her plans to get rid of the school cap obstacle. "So, Gensai, I got a question for you", the twintailed girl spoke to the other two surprise. "Eh? Ah Erika, what's up you never talk to me so I guess it must be important haha", Gensai flashed a grin to the black haired girl. "Are you gay?", Erika asked bluntly. "No", the school cap boy replied just as bluntly. "Then why did you reject my friend yesterday? She's quite good looking and-", the twintailed girl was cut off. "I said I was on duty haha, but despite that, I don't have interest in any kind of romantic relationship", the boy replied casually. "W-What do you mean?", Yuri intervened curiously. "I mean I don't have the slightest interest in getting myself a girlfriend or whatsoever, I feel no romantic attraction towards anyone, all I see in other girls, if you wondered, it's the same I see in boys, just people that could be a friend if anything", Gensai explained calmly. "Okay... I don't understand you at all, whatever let's leave it at that", Erika replied as she looked away finally retreating for the moment, as she knew this guy would be impossible to deal with, so she'd have to find other ways to approach her crush. Yuri was trying to process Gensai's words and finally replied. "W-Well, I think it is an interesting way of living, as long as y-you are happy with that", the shy girl smiled. "Yeah, I am haha, I do like to observe other people's relationships develop though, when they're adorable enough, like you and Nats", the short ponytail guy laughed. Yuri blushed a little embarrassed but always happy to know her and her girlfriends relationship was something good.

Natsuki had spent the whole day thinking about her girlfriends request, she couldn't even remember what that day lessons at school were about due to her trying to find a way to solve this issue, however it was this same fact that made her realize one big opportunity they had been overseeing.

Lovely cupcake: Oh great wizard of the sorry, show yourself before me!
Purple dummy: Hello my darling ❤️
Lovely cupcake: I just got the greatest idea ever
Purple dummy: how come?
Lovely cupcake: we're skipping school tomorrow! ✧\(>o<)ﾉ✧
