Chapter 112: Avoid Despair for a Hopeful Life
'Why the Hell was Junko here of all places? And where is her…. Oh nevermind there both here it seems….' I see her before looking for her sister just to find her loitering nearby, almost didn't notice her because how little a presence she was giving, most likely intentionally as she was guarding her precious sister after all.
"Mikan, wanna go out to eat? There is a really nice restaurant I want to bring you too, so let's go right now alright?" I say hurriedly before pulling her rapidly out of the exibit.
"Wha- H-Hang on Hifumi!" She cry's out a bit in surprise as I suddenly change in plans as she was pulled away.
"…. Hmmm…?" Junko just looks over her shoulder as she overheard the interaction before shrugging as it had nothing to do with her.
"But I see…. Those are the largest pain receptors on the human body after all…." She muttered to herself as her head was filled with Despair filling ideas.
While this version of her has no plans to cause the 'Greatest Disaster in Human History' as she became privy to information that normal people wouldn't know about.
No she had no plans of doing it the original way, but the plan she had was much, much worse, but whether she could even succeed or not is entirely on her to put into fruition and see if it works.
If not she will die as a result, but despair is despair, whether inflicted on others or onto herself she's fine either way.
"Alright I'm done sightseeing, c'mon Mukuro, we have places to be." She said before she strutted off somewhere while her sister followed not far behind.
"…. Where to?" Mukuro muttered as she followed just a step behind.
Hearing that Junko just grinned as her eyes turned into black and white swirls of despair behind her sunglasses.
"Fuyuki…. I hear a lot of chatter about that place, especially with the massive gas explosions two years back…" she says as they leave with despair filled thoughts in their heads.

'Shinigami? Are you absolutely positive that she has no plans about starting the Greatest Disaster in Human History?' I ask as I keep pulling Mikan along, who has given up struggling and has started to follow me willingly as she could feel I was a bit nervous for some reason.
'I'm positive they have no plans of doing things the way they did in the original story…. However….'
'However?'
'Well you know how this world is a mix of many different stories, including Fate? Well since this is also is a version of the Fate world all the bad things that existed in this world exist here…. So…. If she gets info, or already has information on the magical side of the world she would do everything to bring the world into chaos and Despair, whether she could is the real question because Alaya would definitely send counterforce guardians to deal with her if she tried anything after all.' She told me which didn't help calm me down.
'But it should be fine, if the Counterforce gets involved she will be dead in a heartbeat after all, and if for some inexplicable reason that they can't handle it, I'm Sure Alaya will call us for help with it if it comes to that.' She said trying to calm my worries a bit, which it did slightly at least.
'That's a relief…. Wait but why would Alaya call us?'
'Oh that? Well you know when you go to other worlds? Yeah so as Earth/Humanity's administrator, seeing a native of their world pop in and out of existence tends to get their attention…. It's kind of why I was gone for so long, do you know how much paperwork I had to go through to make them not interfere with you or the system….. it's why I was gone for so many chapters as a result…. Even the viewers forgot about me….' She said in a sad like voice.
'….' I decided to ignore her strange ramblings and refocused back on the date as we arrived at a family restaurant.
"Alright I know you want to ask why we had to suddenly leave the museum, but can I tell you after our date in full detail? Just know that blonde girl with the pigtails and leopard print fur coat you need to stay away from at all costs okay? I'll explain more later just know she's bad news alright?" I said as I held her hands and looked at her tenderly.
#/////# "O-okay, I'll believe you Hifumi." She said as she blushed as she found my serious face to be very attractive.
"But you want to go here for our date?" She said as she looked up at the restaurant before looking at the sign above the store.
"Don't worry it will be fine, besides this place has a bunch of interesting characters working here." I say as I was a bit surprised to see this restaurant actually existed in this world, but since this world is a mishmash of animes then it's not that surprising after all.
So soon enough we stepped on inside and we're greeted by a rather short looking girl who looked a bit young to be working here.
"Welcome to Wagnaria! How can I help you today?" She asked in a cheerful mood towards us.
"…. Hifumi, does this place allow child workers?" Mikan asked me with an innocent look on her face.
"IM NOT A CHILD! I'm already in Highschool thank you very much!" She shouted out as she hated being called a child by others, she even pulled out her student I.D that had her age and everything.
"O-oh! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to say that." Mikan said waving around her hands frantically.
"It's okay, at least you understand now." She said as she puffed out her rather large chest for her small size.
"Well she is just like Hiyoko after all, but at least this girl is growing unlike her." I said while making fun of Hiyoko simultaneously.
"Hiyoko? Oh do you mean that girl with her friends over there?" She said as she pointed towards a area of the restaurant.
When we looked we saw Hiyoko, Mahiru, Sonia and Ibuki all sitting their eating crepes and other types of sweets, though now they were back in their normal outfits, excluding Hiyoko who was wearing her school girl uniform as it's to hard to change into a Yukata on the fly.
"…. I had a feeling we were being followed, but this all but confirms it." I mutter to myself before looking at the girl and her nametag.
"Popura, can you give us a spot next to them? Their friends of ours at school." I ask her as I look at Mikan who nods and gives the okay.
She had already forgiven me and was happy with this date overall, even if we cut the museum part short she still had fun nonetheless.
"Sure! Let me take you over then!" She said before leading us over to our table.
Soon enough we were seated and handed our menus before she left us so we could look it over, though I turned to look at the four girls next to us.
"So did you enjoy stalking our date?"
