Yume woke up, but she was still tired, what time was it? She had a clock by her bed, she just needed to turn around and - "Ten O'clock?!!" she cried "How could I ... why did I -" Then she remembered last night, the long adventure in the walls of the mansion, Kanata and Ginger. It felt like a dream, but it had to be real. Then Yume remembered her argument with Subaru. If it wasn't a dream would he turn Kanata in?
After lying in bed for another half-hour, Yume finally got out of bed, got dressed, then got out of her room.
"You sure slept in," said Naoto as Yume passed by him in the hall.
"Sorry, I was ... never mind," Yume shook her head
"Hotaru told me you were investigating," Yume froze up until she remembered that they had told Hotaru about their investigation, that was all they knew, nothing more.
"Uh, yes we were," she lied
"Did you find any thief?" Naoto asked
"No," Yume hoped she sounded natural or casual, but please oh please not suspicious!
Naoto raised his eyebrows, did he know she was lying? "Okay," he said, then walked away.
Once he was gone Yume let out a sigh of relief, the secret was safe.
She made her way down to the kitchen, she could remember where that was by now. Yume followed instinct and just as things started to look unfamiliar she found it! "Haha! I knew I knew where it was!" she said
"Oh, good morning," said Hotaru as she was reading a book on a huge counter. "Or should I say good afternoon?"
"Sorry for sleeping in," said Yume "I was just tired from the investigation,"
"Ah yes, did you find our 'thief'?"
"No, no thieves," This was true, she guessed.
"Well too bad, but you'll get them next time for sure!" Hotaru smiled then put her book down "Hey, I was thinking about going on a family vacation, all seven of us!"
"Seven?" Yume repeated
"Yes! You, me, Hikaru, Subaru, Ako, Asahi, and Naoto. He's family too you know!"
"I thought he was the butler,"
"Oh no," Hotaru shook her head "Naoto is out faithful friend, I don't know where we'd be without him,"
"Wow, okay," said Yume "Hey, is Subaru awake yet?"
"Uh I don't think so," said Hotaru "Asahi Is the only, child, I've seen this morning. He just grabbed an oatmeal cookie and an apple then left, I think he went outside,"
"Okay," Yume hoped Subaru wasn't currently telling Hikaru about Kanata. What if they were in Kanata's room right now? What if -
Then Subaru walked into the room, reliving Yume ... for the moment. "Oh Subaru, we were just talking about you," said Hotaru "Tired from your investigation last night?"
"Yeah," Subaru nodded and walked over to the plate of oatmeal cookies that was on one of the many counters in the huge electric kitchen.
Yume was glad Hotaru didn't ask if they found a thief, if they just stayed off the subject.
"You won't go on another investigation tonight will you?" Hotaru asked
"No,"
"Good cause you all need your sleep,"
"Yeah I can't handle another all nighter only to find nothing," Subaru took a bite out of the cookie. "This is good,"
"Thank you, I made them myself," said Hotaru
