After having lunch the Relic Expedition team started finding the gate to the home of the Demon knights, Akuma Castle.
Ryueki: so how exactly are we going to mix these flowers?
Kaneki: maybe we need to turn them into a juice?
Natsuki: but non of us brought any juicer with us.
Kaneki: true. Does anyone brought anything that can mix the flowers?
Miku: sorry, I don't have anything.
Sachi: same here.
Shino: I don't have anything but if I remember correctly Yuuka had a mortar and pestle set, maybe that will work?
Yuuka: yup! I do have does two.
Kaneki: can you get it?
Yuuka: sure.
Yuuka got up and went to the back of the can to get the mortar and pestle.
Itsuki: hey Kaneki are you getting along with Mirai-san?
Kaneki: yeah, so?
Itsuki: so what's your thoughts about her?
Keiko: you shouldn't talk about Yuuka behind her back you know?
Itsuki: what? I'm just curious about what Kaneki thinks about her.
Yuuka: hmm? What are you guys talking about?
Yuuka came back and heard their conversation.
Chikao: Itsuki was asking Kaneki about how he thinks of you since you two are getting along?
Itsuki: really? Now I'm curious can you tell us?
Ryueki's thoughts*
(Dammit they're getting a long too well at this rate he'll get highlighted and might become my rival I don't want that to happen, I can't let him have Natsuki)
Kaneki: I ain't sharing unless all of you share your thoughts, I am not sharing mine.
Natsuki: in that case, I think of her as someone I can respect.
Yuuka was happy hearing that.
Sachi: I'm just curious on how she looked before becoming a gyaru. And I'm just thankful for her helping Kaneki when we were researching.
Yuuka: hehe~ I'll tell you another time and thanks.
Keiko: well, I think Yuuka is really beautiful.
Yuuka: hehe~ thanks.
Itsuki: sometimes I feel jealous of Mirai-san because Keiko hangs out with her a lot.
Everyone: wait really?
Kaneki: now that I did not expect.
Keiko: yeah, I kinda understand but that is still surprising.
Yuuka: oh sorry.
Itsuki: it's alright.
Miku: well, I think of Yuuka-Oneechan as well, you know as one of my big sisters.
Shino: same here, she's like the sister I never had.
Yuuka: really? Thanks you two I feel the same way!
Azusa: I don't really have any opinion on her besides she seriously needs to wear her school uniform properly, seriously it's annoying seeing students wear clothes the wrong way.
Yuuka: hehehe~.
Emi: no comment.
Chikao: I think she's a kind person.
Yuuka: thanks! So what about you Itadori-kun?
Ryueki: I think you're pretty average.
Yuuka: eh? Average?
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Why do I feel hurt? It's it bad being average, why am I feeling this way? Is it because I love him?)
Yuuka was confused, she was hurt but she doesn't know why.
(I don't get it, how am I hurt? I don't understand)
Kaneki: alright, since you all told your opinion on Yuuka-san, I'll tell my honest thoughts and opinion about her.
Everyone listened closely.
Kaneki: she's probably one of the people I respect the most and she kinda reminds me a bit of my best friend.
Yuuka: eh?
Natsuki: what do you mean?
Kaneki: well, she has a few similarities with Miyu-chan, they're both helpful, both smiles a lot, and most importantly they both like the Demon knights. The only difference is Miyu-chan is frickin smarter and looks way better.
Natsuki: really?
Kaneki: yeah, that's probably the only reason why we get along really well.
Sachi: honestly, I'm not really surprised.
Chikao: same here.
Yuuka: that's what you think of me?
Kaneki: yeah, but hey it's not bad, I mean I kinda think of you as a friend? I guess? I don't know, I never really had any other friends besides Sachi, Chi-chan, Miyu-chan, Shita-chan and Miha-chan.
Yuuka: well, thanks!
(I feel better now, is it because it was Kaneki's words that made me feel better, and he thinks I looked better before I became a Gyaru... Hehe~ I'm relieved)
Kaneki: anyways, CAN YOU GIVE ME THE MORTAR AND PESTLE ALREADY?! I SERIOUSLY CAN'T WAIT TO FIND THAT GATE!
Everyone go surprised with Kaneki suddenly yelling.
Natsuki: Higanbana-kun really wants to find the gate huh?
Yuuka: okay here.
Yuuka gave her mortar and pestle to Kaneki.
Kaneki: alright! Let's start!
Kaneki grabbed the bouquet of flowers and began removing the flowers and turning them into a paste.
Kaneki: this is gonna take a while, so can you guys help and remove the flowers from their stems?
Everyone: sure.
All of them then started removing the flowers from the stems and putting them into the mix.
30 minutes later*
Kaneki: finally! Done!
Kaneki has successfully mixed the 4 flowers into one paste.
Ryueki: so what now?
Yuuka: we need to get that mixture into Contact with Kaneki now.
Kaneki: so I need to touch it?
Yuuka: yes, if that doesn't work try eating
Kaneki: sure.
Kaneki then touched the paste.
Chikao: do you feel anything?
Kaneki: nope.
Shino: a bust huh?
Natsuki & Miku: alright eat it!
Sachi: yeah! Eat it!
Kaneki: okay.
Kaneki then grabbed the mortar and began eating the paste.
1 Minute later*
Kaneki ate the entire mortar of paste but nothing happened.
Kaneki: seriously?! Nothing happened?!
Yuuka: dammit, what are we gonna do now?
Ryueki: obviously go bom this was a waste of ti- wait why are your eyes like that?
Everyone looked at Kaneki's eyes and noticed something different.
Kaneki: what?
Sachi: umm, you're eyes are shaped like a compass.
Kaneki: you're lying.
Shino: I can assure you, she's telling the truth Kaneki.
Yuuka: here look!
Yuuka handed Kaneki a mirror for Kaneki to look at.
Kaneki: okay?
Kaneki looked into the mirror.
Kaneki: What?! What happened to my eyes?!
Itsuki: I think that compass eyes will show us the way to the gate.
Keiko: yeah that might be why your eyes are like that.
Yuuka: try looking at different directions.
Kaneki: okay.
Kaneki started looking at different directions and when he faced north east.
Kaneki: wow that felt weird.
Emi: Kaneki-wan your eyes are now green.
Yuuka: that's probably where the gate is! C'mon let's go! We don't know how long it'll last!
Kaneki: you guys heard her let's go!
Everyone got into the van quickly.
Kaneki: everyone here?
Sachi: present.
Shino: present.
Miku: present.
Yuuka: present.
Chikao: present.
Itsuki & Keiko: present
Natsuki: present.

Ku-kun: Ku!
Mo-chan: Mo!
Yanma: Ya!
Heike: Hei!
Miracle: Mira!
Ryueki: present.
Kaneki: good! Let's go go go!
Kaneki then started driving to the gate.
