❀ ⋆ ―  「 @xshoujiki​​  & @gazaardoll-and-gardenias​  」 ❛ sᴛᴀʀᴛᴇʀ ❜
Estaba de buen humor esa tarde, no solo su hijo mayor estaba de regreso en Japón sino que tenía la oportunidad de pasar el día con sus dos pequeños, aunque parte de ese día estaría dedicado a una prueba que Satoru les había preparado pero aun así, mantenía la sonrisa en sus labios. 
Ijichi había sido muy amable y paso por ellos a su hogar, todo con el objetivo de facilitarles el traslado al lugar donde sería la prueba. 
Tumblr media
― Chicos, recuerden que aunque este lugar fue preparado por Satoru, siguen siendo maldiciones y no pueden confiarse ¿Escucharon? ― Preguntó mirando tanto a Ryoga como a Ryoma.― Deben tratar esto como una cacería real así que no sean imprudentes solo por querer ganar. 
Después de todo quien llegara a eliminar el mayor número de maldiciones, tendría un fin de semana completo para entrenar bajo la supervisión de Satoru.― Creo que ya llegamos ― Susurro al ver que el vehículo se había detenido.

Purple Lilac - love at first sight.
Ryoga’s mother had always been kind-hearted.
Despite the living situation they were in, she had told him one night that she was taking in the child of a mother she was close friends with. They were traveling to another country but didn’t want to upend their child’s life, which made no sense to Ryoga but he didn’t think about it for long. This was his mother’s home and she was allowed to invite whoever she wanted into it, even if he dreaded having to meet a new person and figure out what personality he’d be dealing with until their parents were back home.
To say he was surprised would be an understatement; it was more like he was whacked upside the head with his back turned despite the warning he had received. Looking back at it now, when you first appeared in his life, you hadn’t looked special. You looked tired and like you had packed your things in a hurry, but you were polite, even granting him a smile (which was not most peoples first reaction when meeting him). There wasn’t an ounce of fear in you despite his size, or the direct way that he talked, or any other factor that made delinquents on the street immediately challenge him to a fight (that they always lost).
Ryoga doesn’t think about how struck he was by you until he’s in bed that night, or his new bed which was now the couch in the living room while you got yourself comfortable in his actual bed. You had appeared awkward about it, insisting the couch would be just fine for you, but it didn’t sit right with him to let it happen. He wouldn’t claim to be a man with great manners but it’s not like he was an animal – he knew how to treat guests. You seemed reluctant but when Ryoga had grabbed a spare blanket and had taken his place on the couch, there was no more room for argument, and your voice had been soft as you thanked him for his kindness.
Now that was something he really didn’t hear every day.
After you’re in bed he’s thinking about you. The way you walked, the outfit you were wearing, the sound of your voice and how it changed the slightest bit when his mother wasn’t around. It was like you were comfortable with him right away, not unusual considering your ages were similar but he wasn’t used to people being comfortable around him. He was either getting cursed at, ordered around, or altogether avoided. The meat you made that night was delicious, and you were going to be more help with taking care of his mom, who had only been getting sick more often in the last few weeks, so he couldn’t say your presence was unwelcome. Maybe you could be the good kid that he never was.
There had to be something more to that, maybe just because he was attracted to you and it wasn’t something he was used to. Romance had never really fit his image, never grounded itself in his head, it didn’t seem like a concept meant for him. Imagine someone who looked like him having a crush. Not to mention he was horrible at flirting even if he attempted to try. He couldn’t get words out in normal conversation, how the hell was he supposed to be smooth and charming in front of someone he was infatuated with?
He doesn’t know why he’s having these thoughts. They’re annoying, interrupting his sleep, and making him shift around at the concept of you walking into the living room to see him staring up at the ceiling rather than sleeping. He huffed, turning on his side, trying to settle himself into the couch that he was far too big for.
Ryoga didn’t believe in love at first sight… but what else could this be?

Today is kinda…sorta…well, not at all really, Ryoga’s birthday.
On this day in 2017 I went to feed the cats, and there was this little piglet! Now, this is a farm, but not that kind of farm, so this was not our pig.
Okay, he was our pig. Mom couldn’t find the owner, and so WHAM, we had a pet pig. Or rather I did. I bonded with the little fells really quickly.
Excuse the poor photos. The top two were taken moments after I found him. The bottom one is the most recent I took, and sadly thanks to technical difficulties I can’t share better ones. I wish this pic gave even a hint of his current size.
I never wanted a pig in my life, and yet now one is my best friend. Go figure!

12 & 22
12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
- i wouldn't call these two disliked, just rarely mentioned. i like kogane (the ghost girl from two of the filler eps) bc she's funny and i think her friendship w kasumi is sweet!!! I also think kodachi is very funny and ppl only include her when talking abt ranma's suitors like 30% of the time bc they forget she exists 💀
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
- .........huge pet peeve of mine. Ranma knows he's in love w akane. Like from less than 10 eps in. Ryoga goes "wait a second.... you're in love with her too!" and ranma blushes and tells him to shut up and tries to change the subject to fighting. Fanfic writers ARE aware you aren't meant to actually BELIEVE him when he says stuff like this, right????? Right?????????????? Please say sike rn or i'll accuse u all of sleeping thru ur high school lit classes. Why are there SO many post canon fanfics where he's unsure abt how he feels abt her when he straight up indirectly told his mom he wants to marry her in vol 37 ("son, could it be you dont want to marry her?!" "I didnt say that!!")

@zexalmonth 2023
28th- Death upright | Endings, change, transformation, transition How’s the future for Zexal characters? Show us what you think a Zexal character (or several) are doing post-series or how they look when they grow up?
I believe most of them are still living in Heartland (but still travel elsewhere etc) and I thought of some cool careers and things they could be doing:
Yuma - pro duelist this was a given considering it was his dream, only fair to make it come true when he's grown up
Astral - warrior/protector, interdimensional researcher his role in Astral-Barian World remains the same. After the worlds were forcibly fused together, there need to be someone to keep all that Chaos in check so that the Astralians don't disappear. He also helps with pooling interdimensional knowledge since he, himself, is not human and lives in somewhere other than Earth
Kotori - kindergarten teacher I think she would make a good teacher and her likeable and caring personality would be popular among little kids and their moms
Ryoga - marine biologist and/or interdimensional researcher Shark was never extremely passionate about dueling and I believe all that drama throughout the series would definitely drive him away from dueling professionally again, I do see him as a scientist though. As Astral, he has experience first hand with being non-human (formerly)
Kaito - engineer, interdimensional researcher already things he was from the start of the series, so no massive changes except for his age and being more experienced (eventually taking over his father's laboratory)
Rio - pro duelist, model, actor, athlete she showed how much she is capable of so it's only natural that she would hone those skills and have an active life doing several different things. She preferred modeling for environmental causes, acting in stage/theater and competing in winter sports
Tetsuo - pro skater, model, maybe also pro duelist I think it would be so much fun if Tetsuo started skating professionally and I can totally see him rocking urban/alternative apparel and making a lot of money/fame as a model
Tokunosuke - "entrepreneur" he's still swindling people, just a little bit smarter about it
Cathy - pet groomer of course she will work with animals, what did you think?
Takashi - paralegal don't see him as a lawyer but I do see him working in justice. That was pretty much a given, considering his personality
Anna - pro duelist and stunt performer it would be freaking hilarious to see her as a stuntperson so, why not?
Haruto - interdimensional research assistent by choice, Haruto doesn't get involved directly in his family's research, so he takes on a organizational and administrative role more
III - historian, researcher, writer I like to think that III had a very important role in the ongoing discovery of all interdimensional things due to his profound knowledge of the past and how it influences today. He never sought fame but it comes to him anyway with all his published papers
IV - pro duelist, model all that interdimensional stuff? He's not interested in the slightest. IV duels his way to the top of the top and, as usual, he's very smug about it. He can be, he's that good
Durbe - professor (perhaps a specialist in linguistics) I can't see Durbe as anything else than an academic, he just has that vibe going on for him
Vector - ??? who even know about Vector. He's rich, somehow. He comes and goes as he pleases and when people ask he says something like "don't worry about it ;-)"
Alito - bartender, dancer I'd love to see Alito excelling in all kinds of dances, receiving accolades because of just how skilled he is, and working in the local nightlife seems like it would suit him
Gilag - bodybuilder, strongman yeah, that's about it. He's got the muscles for it, he should use them
Mizael - interdimensional researcher it was surprisingly tricky to figure him out? And I feel like he takes on a more mixed role, not too hands-on and not too detached either. He's mainly helping the Tenjos with in-field research
most of the other characters I didn't mention here are most likely following the same path as the show.. Fuya is still an actor; Faker, Byron/Tron and V are scientists and interdimensional researchers; Droite is a manager and Gauche is a pro duelist/wrestler
in most my headcanons, everyone was resurrected by the Numeron Code including Don Thousand. I'm unsure of his role but he would stand together with Eliphas in Astral-Barian World, their roles as the most powerful beings (akin to gods) would be to maintain the harmony. Ena would be more of a messenger and mediator. As Vector, Number 96 would be mysterious, but he mostly stays in that world, challenging Astral to duels here and then

@itsgettingcrazieroutthere
no cuz... When Ryoga's Aunt finally took him back and Nanjiro had to break the news to him.
instead of asking "so I won't have a mom/dad anymore?" our little dude Ryoga legit asks this;
"So I won't have a baby brother anymore?" HE LEGIT ASKS IF HE CAN'T SEE RYOMA AGAIN, THE BLATANT FAVORITISM.
and NANJIRO JUST; "No matter where you are, you and Ryoma will always be brothers." LIKE?? HE DOESN'T MIND IT??
probs because his favorite is Ryoma too tbh lmao

STMPD Recommends Ranma 1/2 Fanfiction: Nemo Blank's Chaos Factor (Or, Ucchan is Best Girl)
Okay. Time for some changes around here.
Yes, that's right. You're not dreaming, dear reader. In my neverending Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath to waste my own time on the internet, I've decided to expand on beyond writing reviews of Bubblegum Crisis fanfiction to review... other fanfiction. My powers grow, and grow, and grow.
Okay, huge forewarning, let's just get it out of the way, I don't actually read a whole lot of Ranma fanfiction. I used to read a lot more, but my tastes always tended toward the somewhat shitty fanfictions, not the actually good ones. So I'm probably just gonna recommend two incredibly good Ranma fics, and then move onto other pastures. There's a particular Homestuck-Pacific Rim crossover I've always wanted to sell people on, stuff like that.
Anyway! Here's a good Ranma fanfiction, incomplete but uproariously funny and maybe too clever by half: Chaos Factor.
Well, then. What exactly is Chaos Factor about? It... um... well... fuck. Hang on.
Were this a fic with weaker writing, I would have a pretty hard time overlooking CF's tendency to veer wildly all over the place in terms of setting and what its attention is focused on. So let's start at the beginning: Ranma goes off to train in the mountains, is accosted by a soul-stealing demon, is saved by his Neko-ken being a giant spirit tiger that mauls the shit out of the demon - and wakes up to Ukyo Kuonji, everyone's favorite crossdressing Kansaiben okonomiyaki chef childhood friend waifu, holding him close to ensure his well-being with a side of pressing her cleavage into his side.
Of course within five seconds Shampoo, Akane, Genma, Soun, Mousse, and Ryoga all show up. Of course there's an altercation where Akane falls into a river, Ranma saves her, and she yeets him into the stratosphere. Reader, Akane is many things in this fic, but she's hardly a kind soul. Which - is okay?
Yeah, let me just get this out of the way, I don't really like Akane. She's a girl out of her depth in Ranma's insane martial-arts world, a normal, sane human being whose dignity is constantly put to the test by the irrationality that is Ranma, his rivals and fiancees, and their goofy superpowers. Oh, sure, she can be cute at times, but more often than not she's the worst sort of tsundere, the childish one who treats any entreaty towards what little order she has left in her life as an affront on her person and then proceeds to beat up Ranma. Oh, sure, the manga probably treats her better, but that doesn't change the fact that Ranma saving her again and again and again and neither of the two admitting they might like each other over and over and over again is not really a healthy relationship dynamic. Sure, the other girls are possessive and jealous too, but at least they can keep up with Ranma to a closer degree, at least they're honest with their own affection. Well, whatever, this argument has been had since Internet Time Immemorial and will likely be thus for years to come. So... Yeah. One of the best quotes from CF (and there are so, so many) speaks to this: "It was true love, all right. True love for eight-year-olds."
Anyway, Ranma lands in his mom's backyard (this is after the manga's failed wedding ending, mind you), and they talk. Turns out Ranma thinks he's got this duty to the Tendo family to join the schools (his dad lied), turns out he doesn't know how to deal with love (he likes the Tendo sisters, but only knows that he doesn't know if he loves Akane), and... suffice to say that Nodoka finally says: No, Ranma, you're staying with me from here on out, and each fiancé will meet me in person and I'll determine their suitability one at a time.
Which would be a perfectly interesting pitch for a fic, you'd think, Ranma having to arrange all those meetings and Nodoka meeting the girls as they try to be on their best behavior. Only, we only get to Kodachi and Shampoo in interviews, because other plot threads are introduced fast. Very, very fast. Blisteringly fast. Among the things that just happen and don't stop happening:
Ranma gets yeeted into the middle of the Sailor Senshi, assumes they're a bunch of fiancés or pervs or whatever, and proceeds to avoid their attacks effortlessly. As Ranma's rivals and the Senshi get more and more intertwined, it becomes clear that a) Crystal Tokyo relies on wiping out everyone save a few million loyal to Serenity, something Sailor Pluto is largely hiding from her charges, and b) The Senshi are terrible at actual fights. Ranma simply summons Happosai (calls his name three times) and misery is had. Now, I don't especially like how the Senshi are sort of the butt of the joke here, especially since many gags are made out of how utterly unstoppable Kuno is by conventional standards, and those jokes are quite funny. But you can't have everything.
As such, when Ranma beats up a Youma without trying very hard, he ends up on the national news. Nabiki's having the time of her life playing the tour guide for the Tendo Dojo, right up until the government decides Ranma could be a useful asset in the war against the supernatural.
Washu from Tenchi Muyo ends up in a time warp where she inadvertently becomes Nodoka's mother (and Ranma's maternal Grandma!) Ryoko thinks having a nephew-niece is nothing short of awesome, and she and Sasami hang out with him and Ryoga for a bit.
Ryoga's wandering capacity is played up as a space distortion, to the point that he can end up in anywhere while going to anywhere else. Kasumi follows him to the bathroom of their house and ends up going through Egypt for a few moments, Mihoshi follows him to an alien planet, things like that.
Ranma flees normal life again, is tracked down by Ukyo using a somewhat terrifying ninja technique involving sympathetic ki, and they fight a samurai ghost together. Ranma figures out how to turn into a dragon and Ukyo falls even more head-over-heels in love with him, because, uh, dragons amirite? Meanwhile, Ranma is convinced that Ukyo wants Ranma to be a waitress for her, and that's cleared up... but Ranma still is afraid of her world, especially because Ukyo wants to become the head of a national okonomiyaki restaurant chain.
And it's all... funny, and sweet, and even if the tone it nails isn't exactly the manga's irreverent tone, as far as harem-adjacent tales go let it be said that Chaos Factor has a tone, and it nails that tone, and it keeps on that tone for 81k words. even if it ends somewhat anticlimactically before, if I recall correctly, Ranma and his fiancés are to have an audience with the emperor.
Look, I'm having trouble describing this fanfic that I've read a half-dozen times over because it's simply that good. I don't just encourage you to read it -- I implore you to do so. You won't regret it.

I'm genuinely amused by all of the tcest hate on this site. Just about every turtles post I see has an anti-tcest tag in it somewhere regardless of what the post even is. Like, it could be a bad ass picture of my boi Leonardo and there will be a tag telling tcest shippers to fuck off and die in a hole. I personally am not a tcest shipper, hell, I'm really not much of a shipper at all. My only two ships are Naruto and Sasuke mostly for the meme and Ukyo and Ryoga from Ranma ½.
Anyway, this hate for tcest just seems so out of control and the irony of the whole thing is hilarious. People don't like it cause the turtles are “brothers” and that means you can't ship them cause it's a sin or some shit. Look, the turtles are basically just step brothers. No version of them is or has ever been blood related.
Now granted nothing has ever outright stated their relation one way or another, Donatello's line to Michaelngelo in the 07 movie of “ Yeah that would make her your mom to doofus.” doesn't count. Rise, as awful as that version is, takes all this a step further by making them all different species of turtles. Yes you could argue that they still grew up together as brothers, but like I said they're basically step brothers. THEY'RE NOT RELATED! There's a similar hate, although not as strong, for 2012 Leo and Karai.
I've seen people bash 2012 Leorai shippers cause of the pseudo incest. Honestly this one has less of a reason to get hate than tcest cause she didn't even grow up with them. We don't even find out that she's SPOILERS Splinter/Hamato Yoshi's daughter till well after we meet her and by then Leo and her have already been flirting. What are they supposed to just knock that shit off since they're “related”? Fuck off they're not even the same species!
Which brings me to my last point, BESTIALITY! It's just okay? Accepted? I've never seen it come up as an argument or at all really. People have shipped Leo and Karai for the longest time, it gained a lot of steam thanks to the 03 series and not once has Leo being a GIANT MUTATED TURTLE been a problem.
But you throw in some vague, distant relationship to Splinter and now it's bad? Get the hell outta here. Leo being a turtle, not human in anyway like Karai, isn't an issue but being her step brother is a big no-no. No one brings up the bestiality aspect with Apriltello either. Every complaint I've seen thrown at them talks about how April is a bitch sometimes and that Donnie is a creep.
The complaints with Apriltello point out how the show lessens them as characters. Not how one is human and the other is a GIANT MUTATED TURTLE! Seriously, no one ever brings up the inter-species romance as a problem but the “incest” is gross. What and turtle on human isn't? I just don't understand how that's okay but the other isn't.
Look, I want to make it clear that it's fine to not like tcest or 2012 Leorai. It's fine to not like any ship. I need you to understand that I'm not trying to force you to like a ship that you're not a fan of. There's just so much unnecessary hate for those ships that are more toxic than the actual ship themselves.   Even as someone that doesn't partake in those ships just seeing all the hate for them was so out of control I couldn't not say something.
I know that a majority of you are going to come at this hate, I almost look forward to it. I'm aware that this is absolutely going to get me blocked and that's fine. Most of you that spew all of that hate aren't worth interacting with anyway, so no real loss.

Conversation
Ranma: [about Shampoo] She's not really my type.
Mousse: What, are you gay?
Ranma: Mm, I don't think so, nope.
Ryoga: Well, what is your type?
Ranma: [looks at Akane, takes a few seconds to come up with an answer] Moms, primarily. Yep, soccer moms, single moms, NASCAR moms. Any type of mom, really.
Mousse: That's disgusting.
Ryoga: Stay away from my mom.
Ranma: Too late, Ryoga

Bad, bad, bad day.
Short version? My brother screamed at me, not shouted, screamed. He started at shout level, and shouted louder to cut me off any time .i tried to talk.
I’d sent a message trying to explain (calmly and in detail) the situation with all the stuff in the house, but no one responded. So when I called Mom I was shocked to get yelled at the second he picked up the phone. My message was “sharp”, “snippy”, and “nasty”, so I tried to say I hadn’t mean it that way, I just wanted to explain…
And the screaming started.
I asked if we could move Mom in the bed room with the least stuff, with the advantage it was next to the bathroom. This was, apparently, a stupid suggestion. He didn’t want nurses or aides walking around the house, so the ONLY place to put her was the front bedroom.
The room with all my stuff, every wall floor to ceiling with books, and thousands of action figures, dolls, stuffed animals, figurines, odd objects covering them like moss.
I said it would take time, but I’d do it.
Screaming.
Turns out the floor to HIS house is collapsing (making his belittling me for my floor troubles extra irritating) and they need to do this immediately.
I said I’d do it, just give me a little time.
Screaming. Apparently I don’t care about Mom, it’s Mom’s house so she shouldn’t have to wait, I’m lazy, I….
I took a deep breath and said yelling at me wasn’t helping, and I already said I would do it.
He screamed LOUDER! He’s said I was yelling, and then said if he was screaming it was my fault.
I had to hold the phone away from my ear. I heard his voice go beyond what it could handle, screeching.
I tried one last time to say I’d do it.
He hung up. I didn’t get to talk to Mom at all. I don’t know when he will let me talk to her again.
I don’t think he EVER heard me say I would do it. He sure never acknowledged it. He acted like I was saying “no”
After the call I rushed to Mom’s house to work in a frenzy, faster than I should have. I fell down twice. I worked without a break. I didn’t stop until 6:30. I can barely walk. My feet, ankles, bad knee, bad elbow, and back all hurt like hell. I’m exhausted.
I’ve filled all the sofas, chairs, and beds. I’ve stacked books on planks on the floor in the other room, I’ve books three feet high on my brother’s work out bench (his stuff is in that other room and I have to work around it) There is stuff everywhere…
And this is the easy stuff. Where do I put the books when there is no where to put them? And where do I put the bookcases when they were in the only place big enough for them?
Dunno. This is hellish. I’m one person, with a broken body at that, and no free space at all to put anything!
And I dragged myself back to the shop house to feed Ryoga, only to find my dear piggy has torn a plank off his house, so I had to wade through the mud (it poured all day) to get it out before he hurt himself on a nail. Now I have to fix his damn house!
And there isn’t enough money in my back account to buy animal feed next week, so I have to cross my fingers I can make it last long enough.
And my ipod shuffle, the last way I had left to listen to music, died for good. Because of course it would when I needed music to soothe me.
Then again, could anything soothe me right now???

Continuing the girl turned to man incident; After content beating Touma, the three girls turned man goes to their respected loved ones for comfort (they haven't returned to their original sex yet). Mei goes to Rintaro (Since Kento busy tending Touma, even Rintaro managed to make Mei swoon by saying 'you're still as perfect as the day we met' or something like that), Reika goes to Magine or Ryoga (he vows to beat Touma later), while Sakura goes to her siblings (& Lovekov).
Okaaaaay?
I honestly don't think Rintaro would be that smooth though. He could barely string enough sentences to ask Mei on a date lmao
"Mei, honey, please don't be upset anymore," Rintaro tried to soothe, running a hand down the other's back.
"How can I not be Rintaro? Just look at me!" Mei exclaimed. "I must look so horrid to you now..."
"No, no! Of course not, how can you say that? You're still as beautiful as the day we met." Rintaro insisted. "Right, Kento?"
"Huh- Yes, of course." Kento looked up from where he was tending to the unconscious Touma. "Still as pretty as the day you called me an ikemen. You look like one yourself now!"
"Don't you start," Mei growled, shaking a fist at him, and Kento raised his hands in surrender.
"Sorry! I'm just stating facts," Kento apologized with a grin. "But seriously... you could look like the Neko Megid forever and we'd still love you longer than that."
Mei stammered, cheeks pinking. "Y-You... smooth bastard..." Kento laughed and Rintaro gave Mei a smirk. "Oh, whatever..."
~0~
"Who did this to you, Reika-san? Let me at him, let me at him!"
"O-Oi, Magine, calm down!" Zyuran grabbed the younger Kikainoid by the waist. "She said it was an accident and it would wear off in a while!"
"But still, if he had been careful in the first place-!"
"What good would hurting the guy do?" Kaito pointed out. "It's not gonna make her change back."
"And besides, I'm sure that overprotective brother of hers already got there before you." Zox added sensibly.
Magine stopped struggling in Zyuran's arms and she looked at Reika. "Did he?"
"Yes. In addition to myself, Mei-san and Sakura-kun." Reika stated coolly. "He is... currently indisposed."
"Good." Magine fully relaxed, and Zyuran cautiously let Magine go. As soon as the other had loosened his grip on her she rushed at Reika. "It doesn't matter! Reika-san is Reika-san! And I love Reika-san no matter how they look!"
"Magine..." Reika whispered, touched beyond words.
Kaito and Zox nudged each other knowingly, before turning to the other Kikainoid and being baffled by the sight of him sniffling into a handkerchief.
"...Zyuran, are you crying?"
~0~
"Love love, kobu..." cooed Lovekov as it rubbed up against Sakura, trying to comfort her master. "Love love, kobu kobu love..."
"I know, I know, it's temporary... but still..." Sakura pouted. "who entrusted such a guy with a powerful thing anyway..."
"Hey Sakura?"
"Ikki-nii... Dai-chan..."
Sakura's two brothers joined her on top of the jungle gym they had played on as children. Ikki held up a coffee milk, still cold from the fridge, and Daiji gave her a pork bun, still warm from the steamer.
Sakura smiled wryly and accepted the food with a quiet "Itadakimasu". The three siblings sat in companionable silence as Sakura ate the snacks, their legs dangling off the edge of the jungle gym as they watched the sun starting to set.
"...Mom's gonna be pissed we're coming home with a little brother instead of a little sister." Daiji suddenly said. "Touma-san better not come back to the bathhouse if he knows what's good for him."
"We could always give Mom the address to that bookshop of his." Ikki suggested. Daiji looked like he was giving it some thought, then nodded.
Sakura choked on bite of pork bun. "Dai-chan! Ikki-nii!"
