Minato's POV.

So me, Romio and Persia are hanging out in the gardens and talking about what do we want to do for the school festival.

Romio: So Minato, do you have any plans at the school festival?

Minato: Why are you asking me that? It's going to be my first school festival.

Romio: O-oh yeah, right. I forgot. Anyways, Persia I heard that you'll be joining the School Festival Executive Committee.

Persia: Yep. The school festival is scheduled in October. They're currently recruiting members for the committee right now.

Minato: Now that you mentioned it, one of the Black Dogs recruited me in joining the committee.

Persia: Really? What did you say?

Minato: I told them that, I'll think about it.

Romio: Hmmm, I'm sure you just wanna laze around the festival.

Minato: You bet I am. After all, that will be the only time I can finally have a long rest.

Persia: Can't blame Raiden if he wants to chill during the school festival. After all, would've been working a lot on your paperworks these past few weeks.

Minato: How did you know?

Persia: Remember when Char told me that you refused her invitation to a date?

Minato: Oh yeah, right. Tell her that I'm sorry. I was really busy at that time. I can't even focus on class because of my workload.

Romio: You've been working yourself to the bone man. I mean, it's already the next day and you're still working. You barely even got rest.

Romio: Not to mention, you collapse in the dorm's rec room and luckily, Hasuki found you lying on the floor.

Minato: All the more reason for me not to join the school festival executive committee.

Persia: Char is actually, looking forward to spend the festival with you. She wants to make up for the past weeks.

I just looked down and I realized what Char might be feeling right now.

Minato: Yeah. It's my fault for making her lonely in the past few weeks. I even heard that she disguised herself as a black dog student just to see how am I doing but........

Persia: Whenever she visits with her disguise, you are nowhere to be found.

Romio: Man, just how cold could you get?

Minato: I'm not being cold. It's just, my work is consuming all of my time and energy.

Persia: I guess, you should pass those paperworks to someone else. It's affecting your school life.

Romio: I agree with her in this one. You maybe living an ordinary student life here but in reality, you're still living your life as the prince by doing those paperworks.

Romio: I bet even your parents wouldn't want that. You only volunteered because your dad's health but look, Emperor Makoto is already back in top shape.

Persia: Yeah. I guess you should give up your paperworks and just be free. You can't even barely spend your free time.

Minato: Yeah. I kinda self imposed this responsibility to myself.
