A few minutes later…

"You know, you and your new Phantom Thief friends and that Shujin teacher did really good about Kamoshida's shadow by changing his heart, stealing his desire, make his palace disappear and now all those guys and girls who got sexually harassed and abused harshly by him can rest easy now, Minato." said Pharos mentally and proudly to Minato.

"Yeah, I know, Pharos." said Minato mentally and happily back to Pharos.

"So what're you gonna do now before you went home?" asked Pharos curiously to Minato.

"Hm… Guess I'll have something to eat and drink before I head home because I'm starting to feel hungry, Pharos." replied Minato as he briefly rubbed his growling stomach.

"Oh dear. Are you trying to run them ragged or something? Your stomach is like a black hole that suck in everything!" groaned Pharos in exasperation at Minato.

"Aw, thanks for your kind words about me and my black hole of a stomach, Pharos." said Minato sarcastically to Pharos.

"Yeah right, Minato…" said Pharos sarcastically back to Minato before they fell silent when they heard and saw the young detective, Goro Akechi cycling down the street toward Minato before he noticed him and quickly stop his bicycle in time in front of Minato.

"Hey, it's him again, the cute and popular detective guy named Goro Akechi that's on TV and who's also the other Wild Card like you and Akira Kurusu, Minato?" said Pharos teasingly to Minato.

"Yeah, he is and I know that already, Pharos." said Minato as he mentally rolled his eyes at Pharos.

"Hello there and I'm glad to see that I managed to stop myself from accidentally falling on you like last time, Minato-san." said Goro in a relief tone of voice to Minato.

"Yeah, so do I, Gocchan." said Minato as he smiled and nodded at Goro (which make him smiled back at Minato).

"So what're you gonna do now that you met him again? Are you still going to do what you initially wanted to do or something else?" asked Pharos.

"Of course I'm still going to eat, Pharos. But now I think I'm going to invite him to eat and talk to him." replied Minato.

"Talk to him or spy on him, which is it, Minato?" said Pharos coolly to Minato (who didn't answer his question).

"Excuse me, Gocchan. Are you free to have dinner with me now?" asked Minato.

"Hm? Yeah, I'm free now and of course I will join you for dinner. Where shall we have our dinner then?" said Akechi as he glance and smiled politely at Minato.

"How about Big Bang Burger? I'm in the mood for fries and burgers now." suggested Minato.

"Big Bang Burger, huh? Alright then." said Goro as he nodded at Minato before both he and Minato turned and make their way past the other people walking around them toward Big Bang Burger in Central Street. "By the way, earlier I saw the news on TV about the heinous things that the former PE teacher and coach, Suguru Kamoshida did to those poor male and female students in Shujin before his arrest. My condolences for them, Minato-san." added Akechi sadly to Minato.

"Yeah, it's been real bad for them but now I'm sure they're glad that Kamoshida's been arrested and taken to the police station. And also, thanks for your condolences to them, Gocchan." said Minato gratefully to Goro.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." said Goro almost quietly to him before he fell silent and in embarrassment when his stomach choose that moment to let out quite a loud growl, which make his face turned quite red in embarrassment.

"Whoa, that's quite a loud growl coming from your stomach and don't you just look cute when you're embarrassed, Gocchan." said Minato as he smirk teasingly at Goro while Pharos let out a laugh inside him.

"… Be quiet and stop teasing me, you jerk." said Goro as he scowled at Minato for teasing him.

"Uh huh." said Minato as he smirk even more at Goro before they arrived and entered Big Bang Burger, went to the counter and Minato ordered the Big Bang Burger second challenge burger meal while Goro ordered a regular-sized chicken and veggie burger for himself before they pay for their meals and take their foods toward an empty table, sat down and began eating.

Another few minutes later…

"Ah, that Big Bang second challenge burger was even bigger and delicious and it's done it's job in hitting the spot in my empty stomach." sighed Minato with a satisfied look on his face after he finish the huge meat, cheese and veggie burger that he ordered.

"I still can't believe that you order such a slightly large than usual burger and actually finish all of it, Minato-san. How were you still able to stay so slim if you ate this much?" said Goro in a surprise and shock tone of voice to Minato after he ate and finish the regular-sized chicken and veggie burger that he ordered.

"Simple. It's because I had a black hole for a stomach and because I wanted to try the challenge out,Goro." said Minato as he shrugged his shoulders.

"You got that right and I'm happy and surprise to see that you won the second challenge, Minato." snorted Pharos.

"Why thank you, Pharos." said Minato.

"Black hole for a stomach, that's quite the hilarious joke that you just spoke, Minato-san." chuckled Goro in amusement at Minato's joke.

"What can I say? Sometimes I like making jokes." said Minato as he and Goro spend the next 6 minutes talking some more and Minato felt his Justice link with Goro went up to level 2 before they stood up, left Big Bang Burger and bade farewell to each other before they head into the station and take different trains home.

Another few minutes later, in the Niijima apartment…

"Welcome back, Minato-kun. Where were you because you came back a bit late tonight." asked Makoto as she glance slightly concernly at Minato.

"I'm back, Makoto-san. And I'm sorry for coming back a bit late tonight. The reason why is because I met Goro Akechi in the station and decided to ask and invite him to eat some burgers at Big Bang Burger in Shibuya." replied Minato.

"I see, Goro Akechi, huh…" said Makoto with a displeased look on her face at Minato eating with Goro Akechi earlier in Shibuya. "By the way, you told me that you'll think about the request from Principal Kobayakawa that I told you in Shujin a few hours ago, Minato-kun. And what's your answer?" asked Makoto again to Minato.

"Yeah, I did say that to you and after much thinking, my answer is no, Makoto-san. I refuse to accept the request from Principal Kobayakawa." replied Minato bluntly to Makoto.

"Huh? But why?" said Makoto in confusion to Minato.

"I just don't want to, that's all. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking a bath then going to bed now." said Minato bluntly to Makoto before he went into the bathroom to take a bath, dry himself up with a towel, went into his room to put on his pajamas before he fell asleep.
