A Summoner Birthday
Special Quest: Akiha Gongen
Wow! This place is something. I can see why they decided to have your birthday here.
I'm glad you like it here. I had a feeling as such.
Akiha Gongen managed to get some time off and decided to bring him here.
Akiha Gongen: I've heard that Arachne gave you some clothes that seem like cosplay. I want to try for myself.
Arachne: I think Arachne has a boutique nearby. We can check it out.
Akiha Gongen: (happy) Okay, let's go.
A little later at the boutique, you and Akiha Gongen are trying on cosplay. You already found yourself back in your prince outfit while Akiha was still deciding.
I wonder what would be good? Should I be a knight in shining armor or fairy? I have the wings.
Lupin: I think you would look good as a kind of fear. Though I don't know many with feather wings, but still.
Akiha Gongen: Yeah, that would be something... I guess this one will do.
Ah. This one should work.
Lupin: You look beautiful.
Akiha Gongen: (blushing a bit) Th- Thanks, Lupin. So, should- Should we look around a bit more?
Lupin: I guess. I think I know a place.
Akiha Gongen: I guess I shouldn't be surprised this place has a theme park.
Lupin: Yeah, Boogeyman thought it would help give the kids something to do while they're waiting for their sweets to be done.
Akiha Gongen: (happy) That's sweet of him. We should thank him later. So, which one should we go first? I've always loved the swing ride.
Lupin: Yeah. I'm a little nervous to go on it. I sometimes fear that the chain would break and I'd fall.
Akiha Gongen: Don't worry. If that happens, I'll fly in and catch you.
Lupin: (happy) Thanks, Akiha.
You both got on the swing ride. Thankfully, the chain didn't break, but you both have a great time. You then move on to the marry-go-round, eat some snacks, and played some of the games.
As time passed, you notice the sun going down.
Akiha Gongen: Hey, let's ride the Farris wheel, next. We can see the sunset from up there.
Lupin: Can't we just fly to the top?
Akiha Gongen: The Farris wheel is a little more traditional. And I've always wanted to ride one.
Lupin: Okay, let's get on.
You and Akiha Gongen get on the Farris wheel and watch the beautiful colored sky as the sun started to sink dipper into the horizon.
Lupin: It's so beautiful.
Akiha Gongen: It's not as beautiful as you.
Lupin: Huh?
Akiha Gongen: Isn't that what they say?
Lupin: Well, yeah.
Akiha Gongen: It's true. I really enjoy our time together. Whenever I think of you, I can't help but think about a beautiful sky that's just open for me to fly in. I don't know why I don't do it more often.
Lupin: Because you have the Youth Fire Brigade.
Akiha Gongen: I know. There were many times that I thought while I was saving others... Who would save me? But I was saved... by you when I met you. Since then, I have been thinking of you a lot and wanted to see you more.
Lupin: Yeah, I've been thinking about you a lot, too. A lot of us have.
Akiha Gongen: Yeah, I know. I think about them, too. I want to be with you all, always... Say, can I tell you something crazy?
Lupin: Of course.
Akiha Gongen: Well, if I wasn't a member of the Creators... I would totally join the Summoners. I want to be with you and the others. Not just Shiro and the other Guild members, but all of you as well. I love you all.
Lupin: And so do I. We all do. You can join us and still be a member of the Creators if you want.
Akiha Gongen: ... (happy) Thank you. I'm sure I will. But right now, let's just enjoy this moment.
You and Akiha Gongen both get close together and watch the sun set as the Farris wheel goes around.
Night fell over the virtual world and you and Akiha Gongen leave together, happy for each other's company.

[Housamo] Chapter 13 - 2
[Note: My character's name is Ito, ignore it lol]
[I have decided not to translate the flashback from the beginning, it was just recounting what had happened in chapter 12. You won't be missing out on anything.]
[Students]
"Goodbye, sir."
Evening looms over the Shinjuku academy. The ring of the bell and the departure of students were the sign of the day coming to an end.
[Sandayu]
"Right, see you all in the mornin'. Take care of yerselve's out there, 'aight?"
Time has passed since the outrage and rioting of the students in this academy during those initial moments.
-- During those times, the Shinjuku academy's dormitories were in such disarray that it was near impossible to get even close.
According to the police's official statement, in one of the videos, there was a shadow moving about, a student that was the target of the communities agitation.
Based on the experts that have reviewed this video, [There is still public unrest left unsettled] caused by one particular individual and so must be brought back alive.
Flock of student's awakened to an uprising and demanded that this person be brought back and face the righteous indignation that has occurred.
After that, many from this righteous movement posted the said video and circulated it all over the deep web for exposure.
The new authorized infrastructure was hacked, revealing personal information out to the public in broad daylight in order to expose said person.
The police investigating has distributed it to their company platforms, and as instructed, every video then be deleted for good.
Sympathetic voices from the district's Nakano Academy stated there was unauthorized access to the victim.
The school wanting to regain their reputation, confronted the mass of angry audiences and was greeted with an astonishingly short conclusion to the situation--
[Hogen]
"-- That shouldn't be possible. Hey, headmaster, are you saying we should turn back!?"
The Kiou police academy. An institution that trains police officers to protect Shinjuku and maintain order.
Hogen, in a fit of rage has him tapping his shoe against the ground and letting out an angry roar back at the recruits he brought along with him to the scene.
[Fellow Officers]
"W-welcome back, Officer Hogen, sir! Officers were contacted for a meeting discussion for a long term leave--"
As far as tokyo is concerned, the head of the academy has already alerted the chief of the police station in shinjuku of the recent update.
And since the Kiou's police station's headmaster and chief, Daikoku has the legal authority to take charge--
[Hogen]
"-- Tch."
[Fellow Officers]
"U-um?"
There is a hierarchial difference akin to a tall wall between Hogen and Daikoku, as to whether arrest charges were to take place at all.
For that reason alone, crucial evidences were needed by Daikoku by no means necessary, even if it meant wagging your tail for all to see.*
(*Being obedient and patient.)
Stepping in behind the inter-auction hall, in addition to confiscating, ended the day in darkness.
Since then, Daikoku was always ahead of Hogen, and whenever he managed to show up in one way or the other, all reasons were thrown out of the window--
[Hogen]
"That bastard, Daikoku… No, Okuninushi!"
Hogen remembered. Just a few days ago back in Akihabara--
[Leannan Sidhe]
"… Stop, just stop, Sanat Kumara!"
[Hogen]
"… Hmph, as if I'm going to engage in a fight. This guy--!?"
Those opposite of him should've begun elevating from their spot by now through Hogen's technique, but the other parties mirror duplicates in a way to compete back.
As if it's reading through Hogen's mind for something. Body between body, new to new tied together and eventually emerging as one.
There is a gap between their faces shown, a look of disbelief. A complete parallel to Hogen's, and his muscles start to break into a sweat.
[Hogen]
"… Hm?"
"It's.. Chief Daikoku! Just how long have you--"
[Akiha Gongen]
"Ah-- Sir Ōanamochi-no-Mikoto!"
[Hogen]
"… What the? Did you say Ōanamochi-no-Mikoto!?"
Hogen recalled the stories from the other world, Takamagahara.
The former sun, Amaterasu of Takamagahara was an ex ruler of that world's earth--
Then, it was ruled by none other than Ōanamochi-no-Mikoto back in his younger days--
[Hogen]
"Daikoku, you were Ōanamochi-no-Mikoto…! To think you'd finally show your true colors--!"
There it bore- A gap. Sanat Kumara didn't let the moment pass by.
[Hogen]
"… Damn it!"
"Is that.. [The divine hand]!?"
Hogen exclaimed upon seeing the other world's magic skill, realizing the reason as to why he chose to conceal himself back on Takamagahara.
[Leannan Sidhe]
"Wait.. Wait, Sanat Kumara! I told you to stop--!!"
[Hogen]
"Kch--!"
Hogen's sword at that moment sliced through-- and three of Daikokus men where their silhouettes was just at the back alley suddenly disappeared.
[Hogen]
"Guh, to think I'd be suffering such an embarassing defeat. I almost had that girl involved…"
[Leannan Sidhe]
"Sanat Kumara.. Why..!"
[Hogen]
"I'd like for you to tell me the whole story, Leannan. That man named Sanat Kumara--"
[Leannan Sidhe]
".. He's an important friend of mine. He's not a cold hearted person as you would think."
"But back in the border, he just suddenly changed and stopped--"
[Hogen]
"… Hmph. A person changing in order to achieve something…"
[Sandayu]
"…"
Back at the Shinjuku school, it was after school sessions that the teacher Sandayu decided to take a tour around.
His well practiced smile that he shows to the students from time to time was a definite change needed in order to achieve his goals in this school.
However, within him is a turmoil in regards to being suspected, and Sandayu's fear is visible within the cornor of his eyes.
[Sandayu]
".. Ah, that's right. That's it, there's no turning back now."
The time during those student's act of violence is a ticking bomb that are now competing against one another out of hate, but it shouldn't blow out of proportions anytime soon.
Sandayu's gaze turns to the window, outside and above the sky.
[Sandayu]
"… There's a storm brewin'."
[Kengo]
"… Tch, this gloomy weather pisses me off. Honestly, I told you to come with me already."
[Shiro]
"How strange, just this morning I was just looking up the weather report and that today was supposed to be clear as day…"
["It's like a typhoon is coming."]
["The weather forecast shouldn't be wrong."]
[Kengo]
"Speaking of irritating, remember the school's whole mood? Everyone was going around and looking for something.. Just what's up with that!?"
[Shiro]
"It was back during the revolting, just suddenly, most of the connections leading to the origin seems to have back tracked and disappeared…"
At that time, the mob among the students seemed to have grown exponentially that a temporary absence in school was needed for some counseling sessions.
As for why they're targeting you specifically in this incident has been closed, new deep injuries were sustained and it wasn't just limited to one person.
["I am just as shocked as you are."]
["Don't mind it."]
[Kengo]
"Hmm, that's what I'm talking about, partner! No need to get yourself down on every single thing!"
"Back in my days in the Kabukicho alley, I was struck by an iron pipe out of nowhere."
[Shiro]
"Do not underplay the current situation to that particular scene, Kengo!"
"… Anyway, no matter what happens, so long as you're safe then we're glad, Ito."
[Kengo]
"I'm also happy that you're safe, too, but listen here, partner. I won't let anyone kill you, you hear?"
["Well, the two of us are still here, aren't we?"]
["By the way, where are the others?"]
[Kengo]
"Ah! After going through all the trouble in getting Ito back to us, why is it that it's just us three?"
"Ryouta, Toji, Hanuman, Moritaka and Tadatomo aren't here."
[Shiro]
"Well, Kengo.. There's an explanation for that."
"Listen well, alright, Ito? … Now, let us start."
"We… No, every single guild in tokyo, including the [three big guilds] just now has now deemed us a threat and plans to expose us."
"That's why we've sent everyone to every guild out there for a collaboration and form an alliance at the immense danger looming above us."
"The genociders, outlaws and us have gone our separate ways, and so that just leaves Ryota and us."
"Our opponents are from Ikebukuro, Aoyama cemetary, Roppongi, Hongo, Kabukicho, Asakusa, Ueno and other opposing guilds."
"… At this very moment, every guild are as furious if not divided in the midst of chaos concerning your current state of affairs in being labeled as a terrorist."
"Speaking of the three big guilds that are antagonizing us, there is not a place we can go to and are awaiting our inevitable collapse."
["Me? A terrorist?"]
["Chaos due to inner divisions?"]
["… Continue, Shiro."]
[Shiro]
"We need to rely on the newest network on our electronic app as many of their judgements are being carried out by it."
"We and our guild cannot do this by ourselves in scouting every mark on the neighborhood whether they are enemies or not, what we need is an actual friend who--"
"For example, in this part of the app's start up… Just now, in this section is where you'll know where the three of us are."
Just as Shiro has explained, the application's map is illuminating three in the screen.
Over that section highlights: [Affiliation: Summoners] and a few additional information of that individual.
[Shiro]
"However, these days, electronics are the only way to overcoming hackers from getting into anything."
"Someone's bound to notice if we both go to the same guilds, but if we were to go to different ones then it would at least give us some peace of mind."
"Given that they could always eliminate us and take any valuable information at any moment that is."
"That's why Ryouta and everyone else is having a hard time forming any contact with anyone in other guilds."
"If Ryouta and the gang were to still be the Ryouta and friends we knew--"
"So, we still have time to make plans today to establish so that we don't look like we're falling behind."
["… Huh, that was it?"]
[Geez, pull yourself together, Shiro!"]
[Shiro]
"That's right, from the very beginning, we're always lending you out to someone and just a few day ago as well due to that event that happened. We've only noticed now that one of us has yet to make a mark."
"The three big guilds number one are likely the invaders who are [Individuals uniting as one for the same goal, and that is to conquer] kind of mentality they possess."
"Ito, if you could remember what you've seen so far in regards to the events that happened a few days ago, we may find a ton of information to what'll come next--"
"Amidst of it all, there could be an [erosion of personalities] the prime reason for the appearance and disappearance?"
"You asked in regards to the invader's guild master, I believe there could be a link to said [fusion]…"
["That's right..!"]
["So that person has some sort of brainwashing skill."]
["… No, I think it'd be best to wait a bit more."]
[Kengo]
"Hm? Huh, wait just a sec, Shiro. Are you really sure about what you've been saying?"
[Shiro]
"…. Kengo."
During that time, Ito was attacked by a group in school--
[Kengo]
"Didn't you say that the video's the one who fanned the flames in giving that group any ideas?"
"Not only that, Ito also met the invaders' group or whoever they are--"
"But that wasn't the only incident that happened, even prior to those moments you said it yourself.."
[Shiro]
"… Normally you'd just fail and end up with failing marks, but I didn't think you can be sharp minded, Kengo."
[Kengo]
"Wh-what-- Asshole!"
[Shiro]
"… So, that's that, Ito. We went to Akihabara to ask that he lend his doors open to you, alright?"
"I'm talking about about Enigma, the artificial intelligence of the Akihabara guild, the one who you've said have met on cyberspace in the deepweb."
["… Right. You see--"]
["Just what did you guys talk about…"]
[(I remember when we talked to Enigma with the others..)]
[Enigma]
"Once again, my copies have been hostile towards you and so I deeply apologize, master Ito."
The artificial intelligence called Enigma, who is the original one bows down apologetically in front of Ito.
[Enigma]
"Let me rephrase that we, the Akihabara guild and it's members all unanimously in favor of forming an alliance with the Summoners."
[".. T-treat us well."]
["Are you sure? What if we betray you?"]
["I believe you, Enigma."]
[Enigma]
"As far as this artificial intelligence is concerned, it is an order that must be done. Also, there is no reason for you to betray us."
"Unless you say that my copies are wrong, then accepting the invaders proposal would've been better."
"If there is one wish that I must have, then it is for you and my creator, the guild master of Akihabara to someday meet, even just once."
"My master was once in this very room, his now digitalized brain living within the deep web. Before disappearing before my very eyes."
["Could you tell me what kind of person he was?"]
["His name and appearance if you don't mind?"]
[Enigma]
"My master [Snow White], was often associated with this children's tale and together with how he looked, to even the clothes he preferred wearing."
"His sacred artifact, [The bomb of logic], I believe is some sort of electrical virus from what I can understand."
["You make use of your copies like slaves."]
["Seems like a poisonous apple to me--"]
["Is there really an electric virus like that?"]
[Enigma]
"I have countless of copies and still they are multiplying, intruding and transforming to said subjects. It is in our [authority] to eliminate the logical structure of said target."
[Tindalos]
"Oh-? I didn't know about that. That's a rather dangerous thing to have!"
"However, that's such an impressive artificial intelligence. But what kind of creator would have such a thing?"
[Enigma]
"… That is all what my master has said. It is stated that it's purpose was to destroy something."
"According to the main objective, it was constructed to dismantle and scatter the fumes so that a path can be created for a new age."
"I am that very sacred artifact who possesses such an ability. There is no other AI out there that's compatible."
"However, before this approach could come into fruition, my master then disappeared before my very eyes."
"… Master Turing is the one who created it and is the master of this very guild."
[Shiro]
"Ito is fated to collaborate with the Akihabara guild master now, but--"
"Akihabara's guild master alone is cooperating with the south, in other words, the invaders guild itself."
"Kengo, I've given doubt to the solution to this predicament. Think about it, the power of two opposite forces, who are our enemies no less…"
["Merging and fusion…"]
["Dismantling… Scattering…"]
["… Master of the south.."]
[Shiro]
"… What' wrong, Ito?"
You recall your teacher, Mononobe who's eyes are red as it can be and the pitter patter of tears dropping as you watch him get dismantled into three.
The second time you saw him was in the deep web, where he spew curses and words of hate at you.
[Mr. Mononobe?]
".. I depise you, Ito. I would've been better off without you entering in my life--!"
"I was wrong about you. Give it back.. Give me back my ring..!"
["What did he mean by all of that."]
["That's the first time I've ever seen Mr. Mononobe act like that."]
["Was the elements that I saw on our teacher could've been that..?"]
[Kengo]
"Still, for what it's worth we can't just retreat from our enemies now, can we?"
[Shiro]
"That is.. Unless Ito and the others plan to sabotage it, would you, Kengo?"
[Kengo]
"I mean, if there's going to be a fight that's about to happen then don't start one in the first place if you plan to back out anyway."
[Shiro]
"That's true, I could care less who wins in it-- … Kengo, Ito, wait."
".. Kengo, you sure are smart witted today. Did you eat something bad?"
[Kengo]
"Hah!?"
[Shiro]
"Rather than waiting for a winner.. What if we were to.. Create a diversion? Maybe there's still time to make one?"
"Let's just say if we were to proceed with the previous one where we wait for the winner, then what do we do with said winner? We can't be sure if we can time it-- Hm!?"
At that moment, Shiro and the other's application started to vibrate along with a piercing sound.
["W-what was that sound just now?"]
["Is this--!?"]
[Kengo]
"I wouldn't go saying that was the app just now."
[Shiro]
"… That was tokyo's metropolitan alarm. An emergency warning regards to heavy rainfall--!?"
[Masanori]
"Well then, gentlemen, or should I say my fellow invaders. At last, our plan is coming into practice, the start of the second era."
Over the Roppongi bridge are the visible heavy clouds that carry rain, moving at such fast velocity and forming what appears to be a strange anomaly.
As if he knew beforehand, Inumura Daikaku Masanori gives his further instructions with ease.
[Masanori]
"Our morning sun, at last, the time for our revolutionary objective has come."
"It is in our rights as invaders that this tokyo-- Be revolutionized."
[Cowboy transient?]
"…."
