“Well, I do feel bad for missing your fireworks.” Although, he was worried if she would make him one but he’ll never know. “But my reasons were pretty legit. Erm… the paperwork I mentioned was part of my duty as a king, especially since Liz died. The other one is more family.”

“Oh that’s so not fair! You’re really going to leave a good friend down for the count?” SHE looks like SHE’S going to explode with how red SHE is.. “Even if you have that title, I really thought you’d do it.”

“Isn’t it fitting in this case, though? I was away for almost two months so I think it’s worth announcing.”

Hey Anime Boston, our cute “cat” Zeta (Vestia Zeta (ゼータ) 📜 @ホロライブID) has one final message for you! Get ready to sing along with Vestia Zeta, Ninomae Ina’nis, and IRyS at hololive Meet SUPER KARAOKE PARTY on Saturday, April 4! #hololiveMeet

Cue a frown as SHE can see the Chrysos Heir preparing to make her exit. “Catch me on the flipside? Hell no! Oh, just you wait when April Fools comes in. I’m gonna prank you SO hard as revenge and it’ll be great!”

Cue a sigh as he places three fingers on his forehead. “Alright, I will. Let’s just say that the other reason why I was gone was a bit… depressing but I guess I don’t have to spell it out. It’s a promise and if I go back on things next time, feel free to punish me.”

“Oh really now?” A brow is raised, as he wonders what happened while he was gone. “Wanna tell me what I missed?”

“You did help me when I had that one funk before but I digress. Don’t hold back if I ever do break another promise.” He’s setting up a high bar with that one and he better honor it. “Anyway, did I miss anything else? Almost two months feels really long to me.”

“It’s been slow, huh? If I wasn’t away, I probably would have used the time to be prepared for April.” He then groans, as he had plans but the events that took him away were completely unexpected. “Ugh, I don’t think I have time to do what I had planned now.”

“Well, I don’t have any lovers in the school, at least anymore BUT a tournament? Looks like I really did miss out.” Whatever took his attention away while he was out prevented him from celebrating Valentine’s too.

“No no no. You don’t understand. It takes a good amount of time to set up a really good prank. Did you forget that it took me almost a month to set up Rean-Sensei’s prank?” He had to be really careful after all. “With a week, I wouldn’t be able to get a good one ready.” 6

“Let’s just say for you, it’d be more than just pirate standees like I did two years ago.” The very same prank that led to her scaring him with a Rock Cannon. “But guess you’re safe from the threat of my pranking, for now.”

“Guess my fun targeted towards you will have to wait till October when I’m in pranking mode again. …” An idea then comes to mind. “Wait… If you wanna do something this year, how about we have a little contest in October? Whoever pranks the other best wins?” //WHERE’S 7?

“So? My best friend Nat’s favorite month is October and yet she’s able to cycle through multiple things.” She’s someone who goes all out for Halloween. “Plus, can’t forget about Halloween without some good ol… TRICKS.” //… Smart one. That deserves a round of applause 11

“Ah, there we go! If it’s the haunted house I went to before, it was amazing.” It would be a fun contest between the two of them if she accepts this. “Hope you consider this little challenge. It’s gonna be fun!”

//At Boston!!!

//Back from Boston. Back to action tomorrow after work!

“Hrm… I guess you’re right. This vessel of yours is kinda more… reserved and not chaotic like some others.” He’s mostly referencing Cipher and Sparkle here. “But give it some thought and I bet your mindset towards it will be more enthusiastic over time.”

“Good. It’ll be fun if we have this contest.” Burning the world down won’t count as a peak prank to him. “The last time we had something to compete against each other was taking pictures of each other during embarrassing moments.” Good thing Cipher didn’t take any..

“Something more engaging you say?” He asks, raising a brow, as his interest was getting piqued. “Sounds like you might have other thoughts that might be better than a pranking contest.”
