Dazai and Chuuya didn't really do anything other than look through every single book around for the mark. The other 3 were very deeply immersed with the books that the two just needed to sit and listen. Chuuya knew that he could just escape but he didn't want to leave the kids behind. He wanted to help with the escape as well but just let the 3 take the lead. Dazai was deeply thinking of the situation and started making a plan to guide the 11-year-olds in their escape plan.
Their determination was one that could not be faked.
"But man... Ray doesn't surprise me, since he's always had his nose stuck in a book since we were little..."
"But to think that Emma was able to decode that hidden message!" Ray finishes off.
"Look at them finishing each other sandwiches! Relationship goals!" Dazai whispers in Chuuya's ear.
"Actually, it wasn't me!"
"Huh?" Norman says, getting confused again.
"I wasn't the one that discovered the code. Phil was actually the one that pointed it out to me!"...Phil?" (Imagine getting outsmarted by someone half your age Norman)
"Yup! He just so happened to be reading one of Mr Minerva's picture books... And that particular book happened to be a book on morse code. So after that happened, I got curious and checked all the other books."
Chuuya, who was walking next to Dazai behind the 3 was strongly proud of Phil, he somehow felt like a proud parent at the small boy.
"See, it all makes sense now."
"Hold up. What are you trying to imp-"
"Wait where are Don and Gilda-!" Ray, Norman and Emma started rushing to check the rooms. Chuuya was about to follow as well as Dazai, well Dazai was following for another reason too but-
"Chuuya! Dazai! You were supposed to help set the table today!" Nat huffs at the two.
Sheepishly, Chuuya starts apologising to the younger boy. Soon, Don and Gilda could be seen in the hallway. It seemed that they were fine.
"Don... Gilda! Thank goodness we just assumed that-"
"Where have you been." Ray cuts in.
"..."
"The kids are watching..." Norman looks around
"We'll continue this later." Before heading to the tables, Ray walks in between the 2, "Dazai and Chuuya are in this secret now." he informs.
After dinner, the 5 oldest, excluding Chuuya and Dazai of course, went to the library where the 3 oldest explained the real truth. Chuuya was planning to go follow but the moment he saw Sister Krone, he just did a U-turn out of there. She always gave Chuuya the chills.
The next day, Norman and Ray both had injuries that made Chuuya wonder what he missed last night. Dazai, on the other hand, was just teasing the 2 boys.
"Wow! Last night must have got prettyyy heated huh! Who knew you guys were masochistic! Hope you didn't break a bed!" Ray knew what Dazai was joking about but, last night was heated, for another reason though. Norman had given up on his antics and started ignoring the brunette.
Chuuya slaps the taller oh the back of the head, making Dazai shut up for a while.
"Sorry..." Chuuya grumbled for his *ahem* boy *ahem* friend's actions. He drags Dazai to help Anna with breakfast before forcing Dazai to cut some vegetables before internally regretting leaving the guy with a knife while he set the table.
The 5 were defiantly planning something. Gee, someone needs to tell them that none of the walls is completely soundproof other than the one for the babies and that their whispering can be heard pretty loud and clear.
Ray was talking to Mama while the other 4 went into the forest. Chuuya and Dazai followed them by jumping tree to tree, ninja style. Well, Chuuya was jumping ninja style, he thinks it makes him feel cooler. Dazai doesn't really care and just follows along because, well, why not.
Disrupting Norman's train of thought, Sister Krone popped out of the shadows, surprising everyone, making Chuuya nearly fall out of the tree which, luckily Dazai caught him and pulled Chuuya by his shoulder closer to his body.
"Would you like to speak to-" Norman tries to negotiate with the woman.
"I've seen everything" She cuts in, straight to the point.
"Huh?" Emma sweatdrops, scared of the knowledge she holds.
"I heard your entire conversation in the dining hall!" She smiles. "The target... Includes all five of you!"
It seemed like she didn't know about Dazai and Chuuya being a part of the plan.
"Norman... Ray... Gilda... Emma... Don. So hey, would you five like to team up with me?"
"Stay calm, guys. We'll be okay. Let's listen to what she has to say." The moment Norman said this, everyone had shock written all over their faces.
"Exactly. All I'm asking is for us to join forces in order to help each other achieve our goals." She gives her signature creepy face.
"Achieve... Our goals?"
"That's right. Your goal is to "escape". Mine is to 'become a mama of this house'. My ultimate wish is to drag Isabella out of her position and snatch it myself."
"Her 'position'..?" Don gasps.
"Just to make sure you all know, I'm telling nothing but the truth right now. In essence, my goal is also to escape..." She pauses, "From my current position, that is. Do you know how the rules of this system are organised? Girls who are successfully clear a certain set of requirements and end up living here until the age of 12 are given options to choose from. One is to be killed, and the other is to become a Mama."
Don gulps. "What are the requirements?"
"Hey Chuuya, you could be a Mama?" Dazai whispers in the ginger's ear. "HA-" Before Chuuya could rebuttal, Dazai covered his mouth, motioning him to stay quiet. Chuuya wanted to bite his silencer's hand but started to wonder the last time Dazai washed them. Realising that it had been over a month, he takes Dazai's arm carefully and put it on his lap to not startle the boy and not make a loud noise.
Chuuya turns around to the brunette behind him. "You should get your bandages washed. You have nothing to hide here. No scars in this world you know? It's a bad habit to never take your bandages off. You also need to take deep washes! Your hair will get greasy! You don't live in a shipping container! You have actual showers and baths here! You should also eat more! Don't leave your plate half full! Dying by starvation isn't fun!" Chuuya had activated his full-on lecture mode with water filling his eyes.
Dazai, looking at the smaller boy in his lap, stares at him lovingly with a smile, knowing that Chuuya likes to pretend not to care but when he decides to show it, there is a lot of it to share.
"You know? You really suck. Huh?" A stray tear falls. "And I'm not crying! It's just this 11-year-old body is not acting by my will!"
Dazai head pats the boy and motions to go back to the house. Dinner was soon. "Yep, yep, slug."
