"...hey, Soseki-kun can i ask your number?" says Izumi, her voice is so small, if Soseki doesn't pay attention, he will miss her saying that

"Sure, i am planning to ask yours too" Soseki replies to her, they exchange contact info. Now that they're taking out their phones, Soseki just realized that the student in this school doesn't play with their phones at lunch break, different from his last school.

The figure of a girl in front of him smiles a little when they exchange contact, now that the lunch break is over, they have another class.

Even though he is supposed to concentrate on his class, Soseki can't help but wonders about what was happening this morning, the teacher call his name while he daydreams

"Natsume-kun, what are things you can't do in your dream?"

What subject is it? even though he's daydreaming, Soseki still answer the question "In a dream, most people can't read or tell time with accuracy"

"Correct, i think you're daydreaming, but it looks like you're paying attention" the teacher praise him, even though what the teacher says about Soseki was daydreaming is true. He feels like his knowledge is increasing by answering the question

The class ends after Soseki answers the question, the next subject is art, the art classroom located on the 2nd floor. when all student already prepare to leave class, Soseki eye still fixated to the student that has a creature sitting on his neck, after a while he realizes someone calls his name

"....Soseki-kun, you're not going to the art room?" says Izumi.

"Ah, yes sorry, just lost in thought" Soseki says this and stand up, he walks to the back of Izumi and starts pushing her wheelchair,

Izumi in surprises let out a dumb voice "e....eh?" and looking to her back, she sees Soseki push her wheelchair like it's a natural thing to do, Soseki notices this says "oh... sorry, i thought you want some help, since it's on 2nd floor, and... you know" he looks to her legs, her skirt is a custom one, while the other girl wears a skirt around their knee, Izumi skirt almost reach her foot

"o...oh, it's fine, i just don't want to cause trouble for you" says Izumi, Soseki smile wryly and starts pushing her to the art room, after this, they have another subject and the school ended

when all of the students going home, Soseki talks a little bit with Izumi, when he realizes, they are the last two students that still stays in the class, he excuses himself and Izumi just nod. When he opens the door, figures of a woman, slightly older than his teacher, wearing a maid outfit already waits in front of the classroom, the maid nods to him and going inside the class.

Soseki in his heart speaks (...holy shit, that girl has a maid? must be a rich one huh). He walks to the front and sees a black car parked, he looks at his watch and sees the time 5.10, Soseki says in his mind "i already miss the bus, well let's just take a walk slowly"

Not long after he walks alone, the same car he sees before stops near him, this alerted him, and he grabs the house key in his blazer pocket, and start to prepare for the worst, only to find a familiar voice and face

"u....um...we live in the same village right? i heard Mori-san says that before....how about going home together?" it is Izumi's voice and her head sticking out from car windows, Soseki feels like a fool being high alerted like that and says this to her "ah, thanks for the offer, but i want to see the surrounding area, so sorry"

Izumi nods, pull her head back, and the car starts to drive again, Soseki continues his walks, he wants to check the place he and Ogai gone this morning. After reaches it, he doesn't see anything suspicious and continue his walk to the home

As soon as he arrives at home, it is already 6:17, he can see that his grandparent looking worried and says "thank goodness, i think you get "spirited away", Soseki feels sorry about this and tell his grandparent that he's taking a walk, since he wants to know the surrounding area better.

After taking a bath, dinner already served for him, even though they are his grandparent, he still feels bad and making a commitment in his heart to help them when he has free time, when finishes with dinner, he help his mother and grandmother to clean some dishes.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

While he cleans the dishes, Shina runs to him and says "hey, Nii-san, look at the stars with me" and start pulling his shirt, his mother says this to him "just go play with Shina, it is fine with only both of us" Soseki nods and go to the garden to see the stars, grandpa watches tv while laying down when they pass living room. it is commercial for Tanaka's Amazing Commodities, and he advertises Just Do It Shoes, he wants to buy it, but he doesn't think he needs that thing, considering his family condition right now

When they reach the backyard, Soseki sits down, and Shina is sit in his laps, her eyes shining like a star when she looks above, Soseki decides to look above too and ..... his phone in ringing, he checks the caller "Kyouka Izumi"

[ What? ] Soseki answering Izumi calls

[ oh... sorry, did i bother you?] says Izumi, she's nodding her head even though there's no one besides her right now

[ not really, so anything matter?] Soseki asks Izumi

[ u...um... what are you doing right now?] Izumi asks Soseki back, in her front, there's a book that she buys from Tanaka's Shady Commodities, the book titled with "How to make a phone conversation" if anyone sees her right now, they must be laughing.

[eh, nothing much just sees the star with my lil sis, you know, back in the city i can't see the star with naked eye] Soseki explaining what he is doing, while keeps his head to the sky, and his other hand patting his sister's hair

[hee...] Izumi says this and starts to take a look at the stars too, she doesn't have special feeling watching the star from her room, while doing this , she thinks that the book advice is a success and tries to follow the next step (so... next the recipient should be ask me what i am doing right now) it's what she says in her mind ...... but she waits for quite some time and Soseki never ask her that

on the other side Soseki keeps looking at the sky and wonders (is she really calling to just ask me that?) he sighs and starts to talk [...so, what do you do?]

[e....ehm..wait] Soseki in his heart says (bingo, she's waiting for me to ask back huh) somehow Soseki feels that his kindness is increasing

on the other hand for Izumi, she gathers her courage and says [sorry, i think my phone is having a low battery] just by saying this, she can feel that her courage is increasing

[oh, just turn this off and charge it] Soseki replies

[ye..yes! that is the problem, it doesn't pay me the money] Izumi replies back to Soseki, long silence fills the air

[..............] Soseki tries to encrypt what Izumi means

[..............] Izumi feels like she can die from embarrassment anytime soon

[............ah i get it, charge! so you charge it with money, but it doesn't pay] Soseki.... don't know what to say anymore and just blabber

[......pl.....please....kill me..... tommorow] Izumi says this, her body is shaking and a drop of tears is coming from the side of her eyes

[wait, i have a good one why does a phone wear glasses?] Says Soseki he hears this joke from his friend at old school

[why?] Izumi ask him back

[Because the phone lost its contact] Soseki giving the answer

[ah.. i see, contact info, and contact lens, so contact... that's why it wears glasses] Izumi tries her best to get the meaning of Soseki jokes

"Hey, hey who are you talking too? i have a joke too, um...wait... ah, what do you call a bear with no teeth"

[so, can you hear this?] Soseki ask this to Izumi, and put his phone beside his sister's ear

[what?] Izumi speak

[teeeeet! the answer is a Gummy bear!] Shina talks to Izumi on the phone, she laughs after giving her answer, not long after this, Chisaki calls her to go to bed

[ah, sorry she's going to the bed.....hello?] Soseki talks again to Izumi

[..........so........sorry...pfft... i see, gum so gummy bear.......] Izumi trying hard to hold her laugh, she can feel she's having a cram on her stomach

[........wa...wait don't hang up yet...............fuh.... speaking of sleep, i think i want to go to bed soon, so.... um... till we meet again at velvet room] Says Izumi

[right the Velvet room, okay then night] Soseki replies to her

After turning his phone off, he closes the door to the backyard and goes to the warehouse, this time there's a fan and a heater inside it.... in his mind he speaks (i must help them whenever i can)

he prepares his bed and reads the green book, and he just notices that there's something new written

Name ATK Effect Assasin dagger 42 -

(is this a dagger that punk give me in that jungle? now that i notices it, the dagger suddenly missing when we go back) Soseki check his book and found an illustration of a dagger, the picture is the same as the one in the jungle, he decides to talk this to Ogai tomorrow, locks the warehouse door, and starts sleeping

".........so i'm here again" Soseki mutter this to himself, he gets up from his hammock, but this time Izumi already there earlier than him

"good morning, Soseki-kun" Izumi greets Soseki, she somewhat a little bit cheerful than her usual self, Soseki greet her back, and he pushes her wheelchair, and starts to go to the gazebo again

"ah, look here, my dear two client" Igor stops his writing while says this, the tea and chair already prepared, and both Christina and Hans waiting next to Igor
