"The winner is.. Funbari Onsen Team!", declared the referee of the Shaman fight. Everyone watching are shouting and cheering for the team. Funbari Onsen Team's friends are in the front row and smiling at the victory of the team.

On their way to the place where they are staying, they saw a vendor on the sidewalk. He is fully clothed. Only his mysterious and scary eyes and hands can be seen.

"Are you in search for love?", the vendor said. The group didn't take seriously what the guy said. But Ryu on the other hand had his eyes flash and respond to the question of the vendor.

"I can see that you are, young man.", the vendor added.

"Hm. Hm.", Ryu said nodding.

"Here. This is a magical apple. The love apple. A wandering sorceress gave this to me.

Ryu get the apple and held it tight. "Now, I'm gonna have a wife soon and we'll look for the best place so we can live happily forever! HAHAHAHAH...!"

"Hey, young man. You're forgetting something."

"Eh? What is it?", asked Ryu.

"You forgot to pay that. I'm a vendor. You have to pay me for that apple.", said the vendor.

"Okay. How much is this?", said Ryu who flashed a scary face.

"1000 yen."

"Here!", said Ryu putting the money on the table of the vendor.

"Thank you. Expect love to come your way."

A woman of beauty suddenly passed and without second thought, Ryu offered her the apple. He kneeled down and said "Please have this as a sign of my love.". The woman got scared the way Tamao was when he asked her before to go out with him. "AHHHH..! Stay away from me!", cried the woman. Ryu was angry and went to the vendor.

"Hey! I thought this will make a woman fall for me? Why did she run like that?", said Ryu to the vendor.

"Somehow, I understand how that girl feel.", said Tamao in her mind.

"You trying to fool me?", said Ryu.

"Apples are meant to be eaten. Not to be offered like that. The first man the girl sees upon eating the apple will be the girl's love.", replied the vendor. He fixed all his stuff and run fast leaving the group. "Okay. Bye now!"

"He's fast.", said Horo Horo.

"It's obvious he's a scammer or something.", said Ren.

"To think that Ryu would fall for something like that.", said Chocolove.

On their way home, Ryu is still making proposals to every beautiful woman that he sees on the way. But the face he wears is too scary for the girls that they would run away even before he finishes his "long romantic speech".

"Hey Ryu, not to discourage you but. Is that magical apple or whatever you call it real?", said Manta.

"It is! How can Bokuto no Ryu be fooled?", said Ryu to Manta.

"Eheheh.. . You said it.", said Manta sweatdropping and got scared of Ryu.

The group reached home. They are seated on the dining hall. The apple is on the table. Everyone is looking at it.

"Ryu. That apple. It's surely a fake.", said Anna coldly.

"But Lady Anna..", said Ryu.

"It's true Ryu. That's why that strange man ran away the moment you gave him the money."

Ryu went to a corner of the room. He's seated with his arms wrapped around his legs repeatedly saying "wife. Best place. Love apple. Wife. Best place. Love apple."

"I feel sorry for him somehow", said Yoh.

"We should have stopped him from buying that.", Faust said.

"But he never experienced having a woman fall for him that why he's desperate to have one even to rely on a stupid magical apple.", said Anna.

"But Anna-sama.. That's way too straight-forward. Ryu-san might get hurt.", said Tamao.

"This one's real. I still believe in it", said Ryu who stood up from the corner. Face of determination on his face.

"Geez. To stop this nonsense, I'll prove it to you.", said Anna taking the apple. She took a bite.

Everyone is looking at her chewing it. Everyone sweatdropping. Shaking. Nervous on what will happen.

Anna choked the bit of apple she chewed.

"Hey Anna. How is it?", said Yoh looking at Anna. Anna looked at Yoh.

"See that? No effect. Sorry Ryu but-", said Horo Horo. His words are interrupted when Anna stood and looked at Yoh.

"Excuse us but I want Yoh to have lunch with me. With me alone.", said Anna in a cold way. She's giving everyone cold glares except Yoh.

"Let's go, Yoh", she said to Yoh in a quite gentle and sweet way. She pulled Yoh's arm making Yoh stand. She pulled him out of the house like a sweet little girl trying to go out with his guy.
