"Yuki-Senpai.. Who is Link ?" tanya Ritsu who was standing right behind Tanaka.
It was seen that today was nearing the afternoon where Tanaka was currently caught by Ritsu talking to herself worriedly.
"Y.. Yah.. Ritsu.. se. as you can see that I'm talking to myself, so there's no such important conversation for us to talk about right now, Ritsu.." tanaka replied frantically while taking her eyes off Ritsu.
Naturally Ritsu who was looking at Tanaka's mannerisms began to approach her and immediately pulled Tanaka's collar with a sharp gaze that made her shocked when she saw this.
Just when Ritsu did this half-soul Tanaka started to appear right in front of them, naturally this made Ritsu startled and immediately took off her grasp.
"A.. I know that, ji. your soul" said Ritsu who gasped when she saw this.
While Tanaka who heard this immediately turned his head in the other direction with a serious face.
"Ritsu, I'm fine ok ? this is just an incident with-"
"Senpai.. We made an appointment, right ? if something bad happens to you, then I have to.."
"Don't do that understand ?" cut Tanaka while looking at Ritsu with blue eyes on her.
Just when they were talking like that, Link was already behind them while looking at the two of them awkwardly.
"Ehh. This is awkward." said Link while scratching his head.
"It looks like I arrived at the wrong time." continued Link with an awkward smile of his.
"Huh.you're finally here, Link. I've decided to come with you" Tanaka said with a sigh when he saw Link coming.
"A.. What !! you're serious !?" shouted Link who was shocked when he heard this.
"Uh. he. hey. buddy.."
But when he saw Ritsu he was somehow a little awkward with his existence that was similar to R/Ritsu.
Of course Ritsu who saw this was immediately alert because he did not feel the air of his existence, but seeing Tanaka know him he relaxed his vigilance.
"Link, right ? does Yuki-Senpai have to go ?" ritsu asked confusedly mixed with worry about Tanaka arriving and leaving with strangers.
"Ha..it seems like I have to tell you everything yahh.." muttered Tanaka as she held onto Ritsu's shoulder with a smile on her face.
***
30 Minutes had passed when Ritsu was currently listening to Tanaka's story carefully, Ritsu actually wanted to come with her and help her find Cross.
"Sorry Ritsu, you have to keep this a secret when I leave." said Tanaka who was talking to Ritsu.
Link himself is currently writing something on his memo without interrupting Tanaka's conversation with Ritsu.
"Maybe the others will feel strange.if I stop being idle after all this time, and.. You can definitely help me right, Ritsu ?" tanya Tanaka who was currently putting both of her hands on her coat pocket.
On the other hand Ritsu who heard this started to lower her head and immediately spoke to her in a worried tone.
"Senpai.promise me that you will return safely." said Ritsu worriedly upon hearing Tanaka's serious remark.
"Heh. You know that I hate to make promises but. I'll try" Tanaka said as she patted Ritsu on the head.
Ritsu who sensed that certainly started smiling with a red hue on her face, just right away she started giving something to him.
"Then bring this, maybe this will be useful there" said Ritsu who issued something to Tanaka.
"This.." muttered Tanaka who was silent when she saw what Ritsu gave her.
"It's box tea, as Asuna-Senpai said, if you like box tea so much if you can't drink the canned coffee you used to buy it." Ritsu said with a smile on her face.
"Ohh, thank you, Ritsu.." said Tanaka who immediately kept it behind his left coat, just as Tanaka said it arrived just as Ritsu clasped his hands tightly.
"Well then it's time to"
Not even Tanaka finished his words until suddenly he felt that his lips were kissed by Ritsu.
Naturally Tanaka who felt this started to hug Ritsu gently while enjoying her kiss.
On the other hand, Link who saw this immediately turned his head to another direction when he saw 2 different sexes kissing for the first time in his life.
After their kissing session was over, Ritsu began to take it off and immediately embraced Tanaka hopefully to keep Tanaka safe as long as she left her world.
"Please take good care of yourself, Senpai.." whispered Ritsu in a soft tone.
"Because-"
" 'Because they're all so worried about you' aren't they ?" cut Tanaka while holding the silver heart pendant he was wearing at the moment.
The pendant was a pendant made by Ritsu after they returned from a student exchange with Aichi Academy.
Ritsu who heard this started to smile towards her and immediately took off her embrace with Tanaka.
After Ritsu took off her arms, Tanaka went to Link, who was standing right under the ink she had made before.
"Ta.. Tanaka are you sure ? you shouldn't have done this." muttered Link to Tanaka.
Of course Link who saw this initially felt doubtful, but after seeing the seriousness of Tanaka immediately he began to seriously and immediately approached Tanaka.
Just as he approached Tanaka, he and himself began to turn their heads towards Ritsu who was currently standing before them while putting a smile on her face.
Ritsu's smile looked so pure and sincere, her smile was accompanied by the wind that made her hair carried along by the wind.
Even her tied hair came off and started to blow her long hair.
"Senpai.heart is on the way.."
This seeing Tanaka could only smile gently at her, whereas Link could only smile awkwardly seeing that he had to involve Tanaka with his affairs.
***
The World Code 349.
It is seen that in the snowy area there are two people standing in front of a bridge, of course the two people are none other than Nightmare and Cross who are using his hood.
"Be with us, and this is your first stop.."
"People here are a little rude, but they look happy thanking the little man and the stupid flower"
It was clear Nightmare had a serious look on his face when they arrived at their first AU.
Of course Cross who heard this just stared at the bridge which is a place to connect the city they will visit later.
"Thank you, Nightmare.."
"Happy be glad." said Nightmare scorchingly and immediately turned himself into a liquid and left quickly.
Just as Nightmare was leaving, Cross started picking up his great sword behind his back.
'Let's go, Cross.' said Ritsu right next to Cross at this time.
"Geez.."

20 Minutes have passed to see that Tanaka and Link have arrived at AU code 349, it is seen that Tanaka is currently asleep on a snowpack so soundly.
"Pssstt !! hey, Tanaka !! wake up !!" whispered Link who was trying to hide while calling Tanaka from afar.
"Hmm.. 5 minutes more." muttered Tanaka who immediately collected all the piles of snow for his sleeping pillow.
But when Tanaka spoke like that suddenly he opened his eyes and saw the surroundings were different from the previous one.
"WOW WAIT A MINUTE IT'S SNOW !? WHERE ARE WE !?" tanaka shouted in surprise when he saw that he was no longer in his world.
"Pffttt, calm down guys, we are currently at AU code 349, which is more precisely in the snow village, welcome to Frost Wind" said Link who was mixed with laughter when he saw Tanaka's howling.
"So that's it. Then why are you hiding there ?" tanya Tanaka who saw Link was hiding at the moment.
"I have to hide myself in every AU for their survival" Link said, holding his chin in a proud smile.
"If you've been dealing with Cross a long time ago, maybe this will never happen and I won't be here right now" Tanaka said with a serious face.
"Especially with half my soul and how far away I am from home" Tanaka said as he looked at Link strangely.
Of course Link who heard this instantly widened his eyes while looking at Tanaka in confusion.
"Sorry ?"
"No.. No. So, Cross came into this world yahh.." said Tanaka who saw the evergreen tree which is currently covered with snow.
"I hope so." said Link who began to come out of his hiding place.
"This world is a world made by gods and goddesses, not only that they even try to make where you and your friends are in the world they made through their own version" link said that made Tanaka go silent for a moment when he heard this.
"Ha ? What ?"
"But I'm sure that Nightmare must have brought him to this place." said Link who did not hear Tanaka's words.
"Ehh. alright let's go.." reply Tanaka who may have misheard.
Immediately they began to use their teleportation and disappeared from where they were standing at the moment.
***
Back again at Ritsu who saw Tanaka go with Link, seeing Tanaka go Ritsu could only sigh and immediately leave from there.
But just when Ritsu turned around it was seen that Asuna was standing there looking at Ritsu who seemed to be returning to their place.
"Ritsu...where did Yuki-Kun go ?" asked Asuna who saw that worried look on Ritsu's facial expression.
"I.. That's.."
