Ryunosuke has been following Mizuki and his friends all this time, randomly disguised with that classical silly glasses that had an old big nose and a bold and black mustache. More funny was that in the background, the theme song of "The Pink Panther" was playing as he sneakily hid behind some posts, trash cans and even sat in bank while taking out a newspaper out of nowhere for coveing his face. That last part won't actually work due to his red hair that looks like a blazing antorch in the middle of the sunset. Some people that where passing by noticed his suspicious actions and a mother, thinking that he was some kind of creep, quickly pulled her daugther close to her and give Ryunosuke a dirty look as she quickly passed him by. "What the problem?" he asked her, turning around for face her while helding out his arms a bit. "It's nothing out of this world to see a normal teenage trying to stalk a bunch of girls". A granny that was slowly walking through a sideway at the other side of the street looked at him with a mad expression, waving her right arm quickly while holding her stick. "That's really creepy, boy! Oh, dear... What's wrong with the juvinile these days? Back on my days..."
Ryunosuke quickly raised his right hand with his eyes norrowed, gesturing a "stop" sign. "Sorry, grandma, but nobody cares about your days of yore..." The old lady began to yell at him, waving her arms madly. Ryunosuke quickly looked around and continue to follow Mizuki as he make sure he was on a fair distance. He had reached so far by now, so he didn't wanted to ruined this "mission". In a few, the girls finally reached a residential neighboorhood. It was quite pretty, with a bunch of nice houses and some kids playing happily on their yards. There was a really peaceful ambient and Ryunosuke, believe it or not, realy liked this place. He wondered why he haven't been in the place before.
Minutes later, he made a quick stop and hide behind a post as the girls finally came to an end in front of a house. Ryunosuke peeked his head besides the post and looked over at the girl, hearing the small conversation between them. That's when he found out that house was actually Mizuki's friend, Natsumi, and the guy that came out from it was Natsumi's brother. Ryunosuke began to think about how weird and creepy that guy looked, slowly rubbing his chin. "A "seance, huh...?" Ryunosuke chuckled and hide completely behind the post, shooking his head with amousment. "Didn't knew Mizuki was into those kind of stuff... I wonder how she will react if I tell her my "secret". He slowly looked down at the ground, fixing his eyes on his "All Star" black and white Converse with a small smile. Telling her his secret wasn't an option, because he knew how pissed his parents would be if they found out that.
As he heard the light smack of the door closing, Ryunosuke sighed and nodded, jumping out of his hiding and walking towards the door. He felt nervous about this. If he knock at the door, he knew Mizuki would be really mad and probably would break him into two on a burt of rage. Still, just like Mai siad, Ryunosuke really want to make "real friends". The one that called themselves his "friends" were just fake ones that only spent some time woth him for gain popularity. That's the ugly truth behind the great "Royal Dragon", that's more like the poor "Lonely Dragon". He actually was jelous of Mizuki , secretely, for having such great friends as Mai and Natsumi. He knew he had Rosebelle, but that was because she had a really strong crush on him.
Ryunosuke slowly looked at the door, debating with himself if it was good to knock or just go away and forget about everything. After all, he remembered that Mizuki told him she didn't want anything to do with him like 3 times today. His face went a bit sad as he sighed and looked down. Just when he was about to turn around, he quickly frwned a bit and slapped his cheeks a bit, nodding. "Just don't give up, Ryunosuke. Nobody said that making real friends would be an easy task. You just have to try hard! Just go get it, tiger! You can do this!" With that thought, Ryunosuke smiled a bit with a confident smile and knocked atthe door 3 times before standing up straight. His smile suddenly plastered and his body began to shake like a rattle, not actually knowing what to say or how to explain how he actually managed to arrive here.
