The moment she spotted Kyaga standing next to Itaka and Kanagaki her light blue eyes sparked, and she started to run towards him with open arms, her light blue hair flying behind her. "Kyaga!" She hugged him deeply.

"Whoa!" He had to take a step backward because of the speed that she had.

She was a bit smaller than Kyaga and now looked up to his red blushing face.

"Hey, Shizuka." He gave her a smile.

"You know, I was pretty worried you wouldn't come here anymore." She said a bit saddened.

"Yeah, I was worried too, but no I'm here." He scratched his head.

"Well you two are certainly cute together, but it's almost 0 A.M. now." Interrupted them Itaka.

Shizuka pushed herself a bit embarrassed away from Kyaga.

They both checked their ingame clocks and indeed, it was 23:58.

They all sat down again and waited for the last few seconds in silence.

Five, four, three, two, one…

"Bye guys…" Said Kyaga defeated.

…

But that was strange, normally when you log out the world around you starts dissolving and you wake up in your bed… But he was falling… Just like,… like he was entering the game.

And from one moment to another he was standing again.

[Day 1, Somewhere on Stage 1]

"W-Where am I?" Kyaga opened his eyes and tried to coordinate himself. He was standing on a street and there were several old buildings around him, "This defiantly isn't our castle guys."

There were a few seconds of silence. "Guys?" He realized that there were several people surrounding him that looked just as confused as he felt, but not his friends. 'I gotta find them!'

"Itaka! Kanagaki! Shizuka! Where are you!?"

A few seconds later everything around him started to get louder and louder, and it felt like panic was rising.

"Itaka! Kanaga-"

"Over here Kyaga!" He heard a familiar voice crying out for him.

He started to look around him as he couldn't make out from where the voice was coming. He searched a few seconds until he saw a rather big man waving his hands. It was Itaka.

They walked towards each other.

"Do you have any clue what's going on Itaka?" Kyaga said, still confused.

"I have no clue at all." Even though Itaka always was the calm guy, who never lost his mind, he seemed to be a bit confused by everything that was happening.

"I think we should find the others before anything happens to them." Said Kyaga determined.

"Yeah, you're right."
