 Freya was with her friends in the canteen when her mobile beeped. Rigaku and Aiyoku tried not to seem interested in her message. It could be from Satos or her adoptive family.

'It's not like she is getting hate messages, right?'

The quick thought spread into a massive map of scenarios and possible culprits. Rigaku couldn't stop his brain from over-analyzing everything. Especially if it concerned his brothers, family, and as of late Freya.

He had to bit his lip to stop himself as her face widened in a shock. The girl took out her notebook, jotting down a short sentence.

"What?" Aiyoku almost yelled as the meaning hit his brain.

"So, it was him!" Rigaku growled, showing his teeth.

Freya nodded, remembering the few moments she shared with the senpai. Why it couldn't be a simple mistake; an accident. Why somebody else had to be behind Kagetsu's suffering?

"Who investigated it?" the oldest brother asked. "I would like to thank them and ask a few questions if possible."

Freya shook her head.

"They don't wish... I suppose they want to stay anonymous then?"

She nodded.

"Alright, we shall respect that." Rigaku nodded.

"But if they need help, allow us to assist," the middle brother added. "We would love to repay their kindness."

Her smile turned slightly forced. If they knew it was Ueno, they wouldn't believe this or suspected they were cohorts.

Later, at the end of the lunch break, they were going back to the homeroom classroom. Their teacher wanted to give out final information about the Fest, and where everybody's stalls would stand.

This huge event had to be perfect in all areas as it always attracted a lot of visitors and earned a permanent place in the local newspapers. Even East List, the Japanese biggest papers, wrote about them. It was no wonder students were stressed over this. Many of them passed the tests thanks to amazing feedback on their stall.

Aiyoku listened to the conversation on half of his ear lost in his mind, not sure what to think about. Heading toward the stair, he had glimpsed a rushing figure. 'Is that Ueno-san?'

She disappeared behind the corner, carrying two enormous bags for trash. 'Can she be up to no good?'

"What's up, Ai?" Rigaku asked, looking back at his motionless brother.

"Go ahead! I'll catch up to you." He waved back and headed after Ueno. He did his best to not be noticed, but with the girls around him snapping his pictures for social media, he couldn't stay incognito.

However, it seemed Ueno wasn't expecting anybody tailing her, as she had never looked over her shoulder. Soon, they exited the school, and the bell rang, announcing the last five minutes of the lunch break.
