"Wait, you hear me?!" Yuya squawked.

"Yeah?" Yuto blinked. "It was weird. I thought I was imagining it. Apparently not."

"Who knows you brat has such good pair of lungs." Crow-san pointed his chopstick at him. Then at Yuto. "Or that your hearing is that good."

Yuya made boiled kettle noises.

Sora hit him on the arm (it was his last meal with us before someone collects him for Facility). "You cheer on him but not me?!" He pouted.

"No, but, I mean... I was possessed! It was embarrassing!"

"So, you gotta be possessed to cheer on someone?" The chibi pressed on. "And you find cheering on others embarrassing?"

"What? No! You know, it was...! I-I mean, but I...!" Yuya's face reddened and now he really resembles a tomato. What with green part of his hair. It doesn't help he reduced to bubbling, incoherent mess.

Sora cracked a grin.

What an imp.

On the other side, I saw Floren get up and walks to the door.

Huh. Where's she going?

Quietly, I get up and follows her. I can be quiet when I want to.

She walks out of the dining room and into the hall to meet... is that Miss Ruka? Director's twin sister?

"I apologize but I will collect Mr. Shiunin and Mr. Sawatari after the dinner. Please inform them."

Ah right. She works as City Council.

"I understand." Floren nodded. "Can I ask a question?"

"Hm... sure."

"Can the winner of the Tournament, or at least tournament this year, overrun the rule and freed those who got sent to Facility?"

"Assuming the finalist who challenge Jack Atlas manage to win, or at least rouse his attention so, to the point the King is willing to help me bend the rules, it was feasible."

"...why the fuck they didn't say it before?"

Huh. That means if I win all the way to victory, I can free them!

Oh good. Yuya would love to hear it.

"Do your best!" I cheered them. "And you can cheer them on from the sidelines! It will be a great help!" I winked at Yuya.

"Yugooooo!" Yuya whines with a red-faced embarassed expression. "Will you ever stop reminding me!?"

"Never!" I cackled.

He turns to Floren, who raised an eyebrow.

"How much you're going to pay me?"

Yuya's expression is one of pure betrayal. I laughed louder.

It was really funny!

No wonder Rin likes to make fun of me when she could!

"Alright, alright. Off you go. Don't make them disqualify you by not showing up." Floren pushed Yuya out of the door, with Yuzu and his friend... Gong was it, following right after. "You still need to change into your riding outfit! Off!"
