“Why… are you doing this?”

He stands by your side, fearless. Even when his voice isn't as loud and proud as he wants to, Azusa will defend you. He's always right there, holding your hand, wanting to be beside you.

“Come… we should… go to another place.”

Gently pulling on your hand, wanting to lead you away from this mess. Even if he believes that pain is inevitable, something irks him about the way you're treated.

“They're a bunch o’ air heads! That's what they are, sow.”

This is not going to fly with Yuma. He's big, muscular, and as soon as someone he cares about gets bullied or intimidated, he'll proudly stand in front of them like a meat shield, pushing the bully back.

“Who do ya think ya are, huh?! I'm gonna kick your ass next time I catch you slacking!”

He's more than ready to throw fists, regardless if this gets him in trouble with Ruki. No one talks crap about you in his presence.

“I’m sorry, I believe I misheard you?”

It may seem like he wouldn't get out of hand, and you're right, he probably won't. He will give the bullies the option to backtrack. And if they don't… he has the ability to insult someone deeply to the point they'll be left without words, and Ruki doesn't even have to swear. An advanced vocabulary is probably his biggest weapon.

“Let us go and you shall face no problems. I can't say what happens If you don't, though.”

“Eh, girls… don't be so mean.”

A part of him is amused at the whole ordeal. He likes seeing the way you react to them, knowing the reason they're probably picking a fight with you in the first place is because they got jealous of him. So he embraces you from behind in front of them, a cheeky grin on his face.

“You wouldn't want to upset your idol, no? ♥”

And he’ll definitely want something in return for his kindness, as it’s expected.

I got Carla to destroy the barrier and have Shin, Yuma and Subaru break down the walls with their bare fists, allowing the rest of us to enter the property without any casualties. We were all unscathed, except for Azusa who threw himself onto the falling rubble… of course. To our surprise, there was no sign of Walter's presence in the castle. His butler caught sight of us, however he was too terrified to stop us. He simply stood there, trembling, panicking as we passed by him. We marched forward, towards the treasure room. As Reiji input a rather…. odd password, we finally reached our destination. It's safe to say that Laito will keep teasing him about it for the coming weeks. Never would I have ever deemed it possible for all of us to spend the final moment of the parade together peacefully. Let's see what the future has in store for us…
