From the previous episode!

"I'll prepare breakfast!"

"No! I'll prepare one instead! They're just instant noodles so leave them to us!"

"Y, yeah, please just stay put in there and let men do the work"

"...that was close"

"Say, muttsurini, what was that last night?"

"Yeah, are you making out with Kudou?"

"... i, it was just a misunderstanding! She was the one~~"

"But you're letting her"

"You even had your eyes closed"

"...There's no way I'd like a girl like her!"

""Your denials make us more suspicious""

"... I have no interest in her"

""Shut up""

Episode Five: Couples and Akihisa's slow disappearance and... babies!?

After they had finished eating breakfast and returning the chairs back into place, they walked to Mizuki's house.

"I wonder what I am doing so early in the morning?" she asked to herself

"By the way Himeji, what do you want to be in the future anyway?" Aiko asked curiously walking to the house they were walking to

"Well, to be honest, I don't know"

"We'll find out once we enter your house" Yuuji said as they stopped in front of her house

Since it looks like Mizuki was the only one there, and she looks busy, they don't know how they will enter her house.

"... any possible routes?" Shouko wanders her eyes around as she look for a possible way to get inside

Karak.

"Haaaaaah~ Rise and shine!" they heard a female voice said along with the sound of something sliding.

A window.

The future Mizuki opened the window to get fresh air in the house

"Talk about luck!" Akihisa then walked to the window followed by the other and they entered quietly. Yes, quietly, even though Akihisa's foot tripped while excitedly entering and resulting to him hitting his face on the floor.

They walked around the house and saw a table with lots of papers on it.

(Could it be that you became an author too, Himeji-san?) Akihisa asked looking at the pile of papers on the table missing something very obvious

(... grades!?) Kouta then pointed at the upper right of each paper which had different scores on it.

Footsteps.

A woman with long pink wavy hair came back and sat on the chair.

She pulled the chair and...

(Gak!) Akihisa was bumped at the chair and fell on the ground

"What was that?" Mizuki asked looking frightened as she looked behind her and when she convinced herself that she found nothing, she came back to her business.

(Just how idiotic will you be?) Yuuji was looking as disappointed as ever on Akihisa for his clumsiness

(I didn't see that coming!)

The future Mizuki looks a little more, mature now and she wears her glasses, reading glasses, that is.

(Eh? Glasses?) Mizuki wondered at the sight of her wearing eyeglasses

"One more left... And... Done!" Mizuki graded the last paper and wrote something in her book. The record book or whatsoever. She removed her glasses and started putting the papers on a case. She hung her sling bag on her shoulder and left the house

(So you're a teacher) Akihisa said while admiring the future Mizuki

"What's with the whispering, Akihisa? If you're too busy having fantasies about her future self, you must've not noticed that she was leaving already" Yuuji teased as he rolls his eyes at him

"Shut up, Yuuji, we all know that you're going to be Kirishima-san's wife!"

"You mean husband, you idiot!"

"So you've already accepted it already, Sakamoto-kun?" Aiko grinned and Akihisa murmured "Why didn't I thought of that hit line!?"

Shouko was quiet on one side thinking of something to herself.

"... Akihisa, is that you?" Kouta pointed outside to show them the future Akihisa running as if he was chasing someone

"Ahh~~~~!" Mizuki screamed which grabbed everyone's attention

"... Mizuki, looks like it's your time" Shouko said looking at the slowly fading Mizuki

"Noooooo~! I want to see the future Akihisa-kun! I can't disappear now..." Mizuki complained as her voice trail out along with herself

"Anyways, who should I be chasing?" Akihisa asked which made them sigh and shook their heads as they left the house and decided to follow the running Akihisa who was now walking at a normal pace as he reached the next intersection

"There... you are... Mizuki" future Akihisa was panting while the present Akihisa was shocked, his mouth flung open to show how shocked he was, by seeing himself finally calling her by her first name, unlike now that he is still practicing to call her that

"Arre? Why do you look so tired, Akihisa-kun?"

"I... ran to chase you." he then straightened up his poise "Haven't we agreed that I accompany you to the train station? We have the same stop, don't we?"

The group smiled teasingly at the present Akihisa who was really red now and when he realized their stares, he quickly looked around and they, except him, of course, chuckled

"Ah! Sorry I forgot about that. Let's go!" the present group remained silent as they watch the couple walk in front of them.

"Mizuki, let me carry that" Akihisa reached for the case Mizuki was holding or should I say, hugging it which ended up to him touching thee back of her hand. They felt something like an electric shock and quickly backed their hands away, reacting by them blushing and Mizuki's case fell. Unfortunately the contents fell of the case.

"O, oh, I'm sorry, Mizuki" Akihisa knelt to the ground, picked up the papers and returned it to the case "I'll hold this for you"

(They look like teens in love! Yoshii-kun, you and Himeji are so cute together!) Aiko teased him imitating Mizuki's tone when she said the same thing to her and Kouta

( ... ) Akihisa ignored her and stared at he and his crush' future

(Don't mind him, Kudou, he's just too stunned by his future and Mizuki's) Yuuji whispered to Aiko loud enough to be heard by Akihisa

(Shut up, Yuuji. I'll get my revenge on you when we know your future) Akihisa snapped

(... But, Yoshii, won't you disappear now after you know about your future?) Shouko asked and those words slowly sank inside his head

"WHAAAAT!?" he accidentally shouted on top of his lungs, and behind his future self as well

"What was that?" Mizuki quickly wrapped her arms around future Akihisa's arm like the way she did it to Shouko back on the test of courage event

"That voice was somewhat familiar, but there were no one here. Let's go" Akihisa convinced Mizuki and they walked to the train station. While walking, he and Mizuki were talking about random topics, until Mizuki asked something that will make someone disappear. We all know who.

"Say. Akihisa-kun, how's your job?" Mizuki opened the topic

(No. I don't want hear this. I haven't got my revenge on Yuuji yet!) Akihisa tried to cover his ears but Aiko and Kouta stopped each of his hand

(Good job, muttsurini-kun) Aiko winked at him

(... that's my line, Kudou Aiko)

"Oh, you mean about being a chef? It's fine, a little tiring, it's tiring in the kitchen" Akihisa chuckled as he scratched the back of his head "Say, how's being a teacher in our alma mater?"

((She's a teacher in Fumizuki Academy!?)) they all whispered in chorus

"Well, to be honest, I miss the Class F's room, since I'm teaching in Class A. I miss our high school days" Mizuki smiled to herself reminiscing her days

(Damnit!) Akihisa cursed then the group stopped walking and looked at him, Yuuji smirking evilly at him

(I can't allow this! Run to Yuuji's home!) Akihisa started running followed by everyone

"... he sure doesn't know when to give up" Shouko said running with the group lined behind her, Akihisa on the lead until he stopped which made the group behind him fell down like a domino since they're all lined behind him

"What the hell, Akihisa!?" Yuuji exclaimed

"Where's your house again, Yuuji?" Akihisa stupidly asked

"... I know where, follow me" Shouko then took the lead by walking "Kirishima-san, hehe, can we please, run now or else I'll disappear now? Don't you want to see future Yuuji right now?" Akihsia persuaded Shouko as she started speeding up her pace then ran followed by everyone, again

"What did you whisper to her Akihisa!?"

"None of your business!"

And their cat fight goes on until they reached the front of Yuuji's house. Akihisa kicked the gate open which made a loud noise

"... What was that?" A familiar woman came out from the door looking from left to right and her eyes twitched as she saw the gate open, as she walked outside, it turned out to be Shouko

"W, wait! Shouko! Don't come out with that thing on! And don't you have work today?!" then another person burst from the door. This time, it is a man. With... a….. erm… ring on his collar which fits him. He still looks violent, but with a bit of gentleness

Akihisa then looked at Yuuji with such look and he is obviously holding out his laugh. He became serious again and tapped Yuuji's shoulder with his drawing-like gag face on.

(So, (chuckles) how do you feel about this?)

(Damn it, you idiot bastard. You're asking me how I feel about that!? I'm a slave!)

Akihisa then burst out in laughter but not loud enough to be heard by the future Shouko-Yuuji couple (Hahahaha! I was trying hard not to notice that but you said it! Hahaha! I can leave this world peacefully now)

Yuuji frowned and was really annoyed by Akihisa now, (Then leave now!)

Akihisa looked at his hand which was almost invisible, he waved goodbye at the group as he disappeared.

Future Shouko locked the gate crashed open by Akihisa and returned back to the house, as she pass the invisible group from the present time, or past timeline, something hit them

(… is she.) Kouta started pointing at the belly of future Shouko.

(Hey, Shouko, look! Hehe…. You and Sakamoto will have a baby!) Aiko pointed to the same direction Kouta was pointing at and she just remained silent

(I can't accept this kind of future! Can't I just disappear now?!) Yuuji said blushing in embarrassment.

(… Yuuji) Shouko then took the lead in walking to the house

"Shouko, don't you have work today?"

"… today's my day off"

"Ah. I see. And remove that thing off, please"

Boink.

((A ball!?)) they all exclaimed as they looked at the bouncing ball in front of them

(… Guess it's my leave) Shouko was now fading now followed by Yuuji

(Hey, Shouko, don't you want to know what your occupation in the future? Or whatsoever? And that's same to you, Sakamoto-kun)

Shouko shook her head from side to side and smiled to her (… all that matters to me now is that I know these feelings still remain the same) she then cling on Yuuji's arm which made him grumble as they both disappeared.

Time: 6:36 pm

"Welcome back!"

"Took you long enough"

"How did it go? Kirishima-san, Sakamoto-kun?"

Yes, you're all right, the one who disappears from the future will be teleported back to the school. Minami, Mizuki and Hideyoshi were sitting on the tatami mat as they welcomed their classmates

"It went according to plan" Yuuji grinned

"What? Is there some plan or whatever?" Akihisa asked tilting his head and the others, except Yuuji, wondered too

"My plan from the start is to leave those two behind. Why? We all know they have feelings for each other right?"

"Oh, yeah! Right back when we slept on Class A's room! We've caught them!" Mizuki exclaimed leaving Hideyoshi and Minami clueless

"… we'll tell you the details later, Shimada, Kinoshita, let's go to Class A, we'll be more comfortable to talk about stuff there" Shouko suggested and they all nodded and went to the high class classroom.

Right after Yuuji and Shouko left the future timeline, Aiko and Kouta decided to left the Sakamoto household and decided to continue their quest; to find about their futures up to the last house, Kouta's house.

Aiko was feeling a bit uncomfortable about the fact she and Kouta were all alone, she is looking from left to right from time to time, then at Kouta then on the ground.

Kouta, being the quiet one he is, noticed Aiko's weird behavior and ignored it. They just walked silently until they reached Aiko's house

"Muttsurini-kun?"

"… what?"

"It's locked" she said pointing to the gate

"… can you climb it?"

Aiko returned back to her mischievous self as she flashed her cat-grin at him again

"Well, I need you to lift me. Oh, and just to warn you, I don't wear shorts today!" she then winked at him who has blood dripping down his nose.

"… (patapatapata) y, you're really trying to kill me."

Aiko just chuckled as she looked at the house; it was already night time, the same as the time in the present.

"Huh? Hey, don't you notice it's weird?"

Kouta wiped the blood from his nose as he raised his eyebrow, wondering what she's talking about

"There's no one here, the lights are off. And I don't sleep this early"

"… are you implying that….?"

"As much as I don't want to believe that, but, yes, maybe" she blushed after remembering the scene they've seen at the first day they came to the future timeline. "And we've seen our futures together while going home, right?"

"… We can't make sure until we've seen so for ourselves." He started walking ahead of her "… Let's go"
