Tonight is our final night here before finally going back home tomorrow. Festa already fell asleep and, as usual, I have trouble sleeping due to her snoring and how tight she was cuddling with me so I decided to use my phone. I was just mindlessly using it until I could fall asleep and I did feel my eyes getting heavier as time went by.

As I was browsing my gallery, I came across old photos of Festa from back when she was still an active racer. There were photos of one of her performances, photos of me and her hanging out at her dorm (like the one above), the photo I took of her the first time I saw her race, the photos from when I joined her and her trainer in France.

I was just checking all of those old photos when...

"What are you looking at?"

"Gah! Why are you awake?"

"Well, the brightness on your phone was enough to wake me up! Do you wanna blind yourself blind or something? Turn that shit down!"

"Alright, alright, I will! Man, I didn't expect you to be this easy to wake up!"

"Well, now you know! What are you looking at anyway?"

"I... uh... just some old photos of you... back during the Tracen days."

"You still have those?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

"Well, I thought you would have gotten rid of them after... you know..."

"Well, I didn't... couldn't really."

"So, you're afraid of commitment, you want to look like an asshole so that I'd forget you, and yet you can't get rid of some photos?"

"Well... yeah... I guess."

"That's moronic... sweet... but moronic."

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

"Still... thank you for not getting rid of them."

"It's nothing..."

...

"You know, you're lucky I convinced my friends to leave you alone back then."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Dorija really wanted to teach you a lesson. Gold Ship wanted to put you in the sack and bring you Turk-knows-where. Jordan was gathering up the other gals to jump you at your place. Orfevre was going to personally beat the living shit out of you. Feno was goi—"

"Um, just how long were they insisting on doing this?"

"Well, for the first year of the break up, I had to keep watch on them because some of them were stalking you."

"W-Wait, so I was being stalked for a year?!"

"Yeah, they all took it personally when you left! Especially since, and I quote them, I was not the type to break down like that!"

"Oh..."

"You probably didn't notice but Dorija ate at your food place a couple times just to watch you."

"O-Oh... oh..."

"Yeah..."

"Well, why would they allow you to go out with me now? I mean, surely, one of them would have changed their minds and gone with you if they found out I was going with you."

"Well... I wasn't exactly being truthful there..."

"What do you mean?"

"When I said no one wanted to go with me... I was lying... I just wanted an excuse to go with you and get some closure or something else... I did regret it initially with how awkward we started out but it's all good now... and it's not like I was fully dishonest... Sirius and Jordan were actually unavailable."

"What about Gold Ship?"

"She didn't actually go to the Philippines to eat eggs. It was just a lame excuse I thought of on the spot because I remembered you were Filipino."

I smiled in a smug manner and poked her nose which made her ears twitch and her face turn beet red.

"You were really acting all cold and distant for the first two days just for you to admit this, eh?"

"Y-Yeah... just shut up... go to sleep."

"Nah, I'm feeling quite giddy from this revelation to even fall asleep! I'll just keep talking about it!"

"You little— just stop talking about it!"

"Nah!"

"Stop!"

"Nah!"

"Stooooooop!"

"If you kiss me... then maybe..."

"You son of... haaaaaa... I'm gonna make Dorija bury you alive."

"Oh, come on, it's just one kiss!"

"Fine, fine, just one."

Well, it was just one kiss. Then two. Then three. Then, I stopped counting. Funnily enough, I could feel myself fading into dreamland as we were kissing and I guess Festa noticed it too because she stopped and just cuddled with me. It would have been funny if we umapyoi'd again, but alas, we were too tired to do that.

"Alright, now go to sleep! I don't wanna hear another word!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to! Good night!"

"Good night!"

After a few minutes, I eventually fell asleep and it helped that Festa wasn't snoring and keeping me awake with that noise. She was still awake, however, and she just spent a few minutes watching me as I slept. As she watched me sleep, she said some words that she would never say to me if I were awake to hear it.

"I can't believe this stupid gamble actually paid off. I don't really know what I'd do if this date ended differently. Hell, even now, I'm not sure if we're gonna do better than last time. I'd usually be thrilled when taking chances... but right now... I'm scared."

She moved closer to nuzzle into my neck.

"Don't leave me again, Raikkon."

And she, too, went to sleep.

(slaps Lala's ass which startles her)

"H-hey! What didja do that for?"

(I don't respond because my attention is on the people I'm marketing to)

"You see that? That right there is a fine ass way bigger than anything Almond Eye's got! I can guarantee you that Mary Sue is a sore loser because she's reminded of how less endowed she is compared to her rival."

(feels a finger repeatedly tapping on my shoulder)

"Hey! Ah'm talkin' to ya, mister! Don't ignore meh because aah know damn well that it was ya who slapped mah ass!"

"Hold on, I'm out here marketing you to any potential trainers so I suggest you—!"

(slap)

"Marketin' meh? Am aah a goddamn product to ya? An' ya can't just slap mah ass and talk about it like that!"

"N-No! I didn't say you were a p-product! I'm just—"

(Lala poking my face repeatedly)

"Then why are ya out here talkin' like some used car salesman? Ah'd expect better decency en this century!"

"W-Wait, p-please, you gotta understand what kind of audience I'm talking to here."

(just like that, it was as if something snapped inside of the Orfeling)

"Audience? AUDIENCE?! Aah don't care what audience ya're talkin' to! This ain't the proper way to treat a lady an' aah ought to teach ya a lesson for it!"

(getting backed into a corner by Lala)

"A-Alright, alright, that won't be necessary! I won't do that again! Wait, what are y— wait! WAIT! WAI—"

I think City Level gets shit on a lot because of chain scaling and a lack of environmental destruction feats from City Level characters.

City Level just feels more comprehensible and grounded to me which is why it is my personal favorite of all the scaling tiers.

I don't think average powerscalers even fully understand just how big cities are and how terrifying a city level attack would be.

Nukes are city level weapons and we fear them. Yet, for some reason, a character being on that level makes them fodder.

The Tsar Bomb was meant to have a 100 Megaton yield (Mountain Level on VSBW) and it had to be nerfed to 50 (City Level).

I think we are all too busy being obsessed with Planetary or Multiversal characters and, honestly, it's just getting way too boring.

And every time I see a post about city wide destruction, it's Island Level or something because of chain scaling and whatnot.

There is a reason that ancient myths and religions have stories of cities getting destroyed and blown up as an "Act of God".
