...

On a bustling street in Kuoh town. Even though it was just a town, it had everything that a city has.

The streets were lined with tall buildings, each housing a variety of shops, restaurants, and businesses. The constant flow of people and the vibrant atmosphere made it feel like a miniature metropolis. 

Despite its size, Kuoh Town had all the amenities and conveniences one would expect in a bustling city. 

Ichigo did as he was told. He brought Koneko and Sona with him to play around the town. They explored the lively streets, looking around at the bustling shops and vibrant atmosphere.

This was the first time that Sona had a date with a boy, even though Koneko was with them. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She looked at Ichigo from time to time and noticed his easygoing nature and friendly demeanor, which helped to ease her nerves a little.

"Are you alright, Sona?"

Ichigo asked Sona, as he saw her a little nervous. Sona smiled and acted confidently, reassuring Ichigo that she was just a little bit out of the weather. She even moved her glasses a little to make sure she had his full attention. 

She went silent a little before she asked him.

"What do you think they were talking to each other about? Rias and your captain."

Sona wasn't familiar with Soifon much, so she didn't know what matters they were talking to each other about right now. She couldn't help but feel curious.

Ichigo could guess that Rias and Soifon were discussing something important about their relationship with him. Even though his emotions developed slowly, he could still express himself about how relationships worked. 

It was just that it was difficult for him to fully understand the dynamics between male and female characters, especially when it came to romantic relationships. 

However, he trusted Rias and Soifon to handle whatever matters they were discussing.

"I think it is about us, or should I say, what will we be in the future? You, Koneko, Rias, Soifon, and me."

Ichigo said it with a smile. Sona was taken aback by Ichigo's sudden mention of their future together.

"I-Is that so? I understand now."

Sona then went silent for good. She didn't know how to respond to Ichigo's statement. The idea of a future together with him and the others wasn't something she didn't anticipate, but it was a bit sudden to have it brought up in their conversation.

And as they were talking about relationships, Koneko's nose started to twitch, smelling something in the air.

"Um, this smells again."

Koneko stopped walking. She didn't worry about Rias and Soifon at all. Instead, she focused on the peculiar smell that seemed to be coming from somewhere nearby.

This smell was familiar to her, yet different. It reminded her of the scent that was in her fuzzy memories.

"What is it, Koneko? Why have you stopped walking?"

Ichigo asked Koneko as he saw that she was standing still, her nose twitching slightly. He could tell that something had caught her attention.

"I smell something, but it's gone already."

Koneko sighed in frustration, disappointed that she couldn't pinpoint the source of the scent. She knew it was important, but it seemed to slip away just as quickly as it had appeared.

"That smell—I could tell where it came from, though. I can still smell it now."

Ichigo's sense of smell was even stronger than Koneko's, and he could sense the lingering scent in the air. He focused his senses, trying to trace the origin of the smell. It was faint, but he could still detect a faint trail leading towards the nearby building.

"Really, can you bring me to where the scent is coming from?"

Koneko asked eagerly, hoping to discover the source of the peculiar smell.

Ichigo looked at Sona who nodded in agreement. 

He then led Koneko towards the building, following the faint trail of scent. As they got closer, the smell grew stronger, confirming that they were on the right track.

...

"He brought Koneko with him, What should I do, Nya?"

Kuroka was afraid to interact with her little sister right now. 

She came here with Artoria because she wanted to meet with Ichigo about the holy sword fragments. As for Furina, She would come with Neauvillete later.

And as she brought her here, who would have thought that her sister's sense of smell would be stronger, and she could tell that she was near in an instant, and she even asked Ichigo for help?

Ichigo might have known her scent, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he might already have forgotten about her.

"I need to run away, Nya."

Kuroka was about to run away, but Artoria stopped her first.

"Why are you running, Kuroka? If you are afraid to meet with your little sister you can just change you appearance. Ophis's champion would never allow you to escape."

Kuroka heard that, and it was actually a valid point. She knew that Artoria was right—as Ophis's champion, he could find her anywhere. And she would meet her little sister, whether she ran or not.
