Meanwhile, at the other side of the city, Mio and Regina were outside a hospital, they had just been discharged. Both Mio and Regina had bummed out looks on their faces, Regina's right arm was covered with bandages, while Mio only had a bandage at her right check. Mio also had a few bandages wrapped around her fingers too "Next time don't overdo it, okay?", the nurse who had treated them said with optimism before going back into the hospital. Mio and Regina were still bummed "We won't.", they muttered in response. Both Mio and Regina stood at a spot, they were tired from the fight they had in the gladiator rounds, as well as sleep from that period all the way till night time. Mio turned to Regina "So? What do you wanna do now?", she asked, Regina took a sigh "I don't know. I'm just as confused as you are right now.". Regina looked up into the night sky "The fireworks festival has probably started, we should meet up with the others too have some fun. What do you think?", she asked Mio. Mio replied with a sigh "Ah, right now I'm not thinking of anything at all. The fight we both had was way to intense, not to mention the sleep that we got after getting ourselves knocked out.". Regina sighed again "True.", she started to walk off, Mio asked "Can I join?", Regina pasued for a moment before looking at her "Sure, why not?.". As the two girls were walking along side each other, they didn't say anything to one another until Mio broke the silence "Um, Regina? Are you pissed? You know... about are fight earlier.". Regina responded "Wnat are you? A baby? The fight we had was just a match, it's not like we were supposed to kill each other or anything. It's a sport, and we as the combatants are to do whatever we have to do to win. So no, I'm not upset.". Mio kept quiet for a moment before smiling "Hm, okay. I'm not feeling bad about anything either, so I guess our friendship still stands.", Regina looked at her with a smile "Yep, our friendship still stands.". Suddenly, two huge fireworks explosion caught their attention, Mio and Regina looked up at the beautiful fireworks, they both were amazed "OOOOOH! Pretty.", Mio muttered. Regina looked at the fireworks before smiling "Yuji!", she thought to herself. Regina looked at Mio and explained "Well, I've got to get going. I'll see you, okay?", Mio responded "Yeah, I'll see you later too." Regina took off. Mio looked at how her friend took off and smiled faintly "She's probably going to look for Yuji right now.". Meanwhile, Kito was in his room, he was creating a firework launcher that looked like a 6 foot mini machine gun. As Kito was fixing it up in preparations, he flashbacked to a few hours ago where he bought fire works and mechanical parts to build a small machine that would shoot the fireworks for him "Buying the fireworks and the parts to create this mini rocket launcher that would shoot them out for me was easier than I expected.". Kito came out of his flashback, he was still fixing some things in the device he had just made "Luckily for me, I came out early when everyone was out there watching the gladiator fights.", Kito took a sigh "Whoo! All done.", he fixed up all the necessary wires he needed to fix before closings them up. Kito packed up the fire works with one hand, he went to the kitchen and picked up a box that would help him to contain the fireworks he had just bought. After that, he went to the device and created a box of ice to make it easier to contain and carry it. Kito walked out of his room "Mahn, I feel happy.", he said to himself as he went to the fridge, picked up a few drinks and snacks, kept them in a wrapper and then walked out of his house and locked the doors before he walked off. Kito had a straight face, but deep down, he was excited. Kito couldn't wait to start playing with the fireworks he had bought with the help of the launcher he had built for him to shoot the fireworks. Meanwhile, Kazuma on the other hand was just playing video games in his room, he had covered the lower parts of his body while focusing on his game. White on the other hand was sitted on the bed behind him, he looked outside and saw the fireworks blasting into the sky. White then turned to Kazuma "Hey, Kazuma. Aren't you going for the fireworks festival?", White asked. Kazuma replied "Oh, yeah I'm going. But the streets are filled with so many people trying to have fun. All I would do is just walk around and enjoy the vibe. I'd rather go to a hill and watch or something.", White had a funny but very suspicious look on his face "Wait a minute. Can't you use your energy manipulation abilities to create fireworks?". Kazuma replied while playing his video games "Sure I can. Why do you think I didn't buy any fireworks?", White muttered with a sigh and a smile "Guess you're right.", he stood up from the bed with attempts to leave "Okay then. I'll be heading out now. Myself, Lydia and Racheal want to go into the streets and enjoy ourselves.", Kazuma muttered with a lazy attitude "Hm, you must be enjoying yourself. Knowing you, you're pretty stacked with cash. Lydia and Racheal are going to have the spree of a life time.", White responded while laughing "They sure are.", and then left the boarding house. Few minutes after he left, Kazuma got up from his bed and went to his wardrobe, he shifted it to the side and brought out two 4'6 fireworks. Kazuma smirked "Hm, buying some fireworks rather than making them myself sounds more fun. I'm so going to enjoy playing with these.". Kazuma wore a purple hoodie, picked up his game consoles, switched off his lights and then went outside "Time to have some fun!", he exclaimed.
