Surprise surprise, a chapter on a non-release day?!

To commemorate hitting 600+ readers and 1st on trending (on scribble hub), I wrote this chapter in a blazing fast amount of time.

So fast that this chapter even bypassed the Patreon subscribers.

Sorry guys and gals over on Patreon, I wrote this today so there was no time to post beforehand since I usually stack chapters before I release them.

This chapter will be a different type of chapter since I wanted to do something different for this type of .5 chapter.

They're usually first person POVs or side stories, but for this I decided to choose something more fun to read which also happens to be easier to write as well.

Chapter 102 will be released tomorrow, so just think of this as an extra chapter to thank you.

Speaking of extra chapters, I need to hurry up and write that Halloween special chapter already.

I will still be maintaining the every other day release schedule so the next few chapters will be dropping on 10/19/21, 10/21/21, etc.

Thanks for reading and enjoying the story everyone! I'll see you back tomorrow when we return to the main story, so please be safe and stay out of trouble until then!

Me: Are you awake?

Akari: It's rare for you to text me at this time, is this a late night call for me to satisfy your manly desires?

Me: I don't think it is?

Akari: Takei, I love you but you're a block of concrete sometimes.

Me: What? Really?

Akari: Why do I have to work so hard for you to understand...

Me: Anyways, some friends of mine need some help getting together.

Akari: Are we playing matchmaker?

Me: Yep, they're clearly in love with each other, but they're having trouble moving forward.

Akari: That sounds good! This'll definitely be fun.

Me: Alright, I'll add you to a group chat with them.

Akari Akazawa has joined the group.

Me: It looks like everyone's here now.

Akari: Yep yep.

Serious-san: Good evening or should I say good morning?

Sugar-san: It doesn't matter!

Akari: Am I in the right place?

Me: Sadly...

Akari: So, what's the issue?

Serious-san: She won't accept my undying love for her!

Sugar-san: Idiot... you can't say it that bluntly...

Akari: Hey, Takei...

Me: Hm?

Akari: Is she...

Me: A tsundere? Definitely.

Sugar-san: I'm not a tsundere!

Serious-san: Let me love you!

Sugar-san: No stop! I don't like serious people!

Serious-san: I'll change for you then! I'll become slightly less serious.

Sugar-san: ...

Akari: How about you two have a trial date?

Sugar-san: A trial date?

Akari: Yeah, you two can go out and try to learn more about each other.

Sugar-san: That's not a bad idea...

Serious-san: Shall we move this somewhere else that's private?

Sugar-san: Okay, that sounds good.

Serious-san and Sugar-san have left the chat.

Me: You fixed the problem faster than I expected.

Akari: Mou, have more faith in your girlfriend.

Me: Haha, sorry. I'll buy you some strawberry milk at school tomorrow if you'll forgive me?

Akari: Deal!

Me: That's it for me tonight, I'm going to bed since there's school tomorrow.

Akari: Okay! Good night, Takei.

Me: Sweet dreams, my goddess.

This was the prelude to chapter 100's afterword where Serious-san asked Sugar-san on a date.

A bit of a short chapter, but that's all I can squeeze out due to my busy schedule.

Stay safe everyone, and I'll see you tomorrow!
