Fleeting Memories School - Entrance


Tiane: There it is...my worse enemy yet...School!

Reeta: Huh? What are you doing here?

Tiane: Don't ask....

Reeta: But...

Tiane: Don't! Ask!

Andorina: Oh, I just noticed that it is really Miss Tatianna. Good Morning!

Tiane: Morning...

Andorina: Seems like our other friends are here. Hello everyone!

Reeta: (Lucent is here too! Nice!)

Rayla: Hm?

A bus passed by them and stopped on the school's sidewalk, some students dropped from it.


Rayla: Oh...

Music: Nani Shiten no Kono Nin Tachi

Through the window, she saw Ted, who was sleeping. The door of the bus closed and started to take off.


Rayla: WAIT!!! STOP! THIS INSTANT! RIGHT NOW!!!

She started to run after the bus, even going as far as using her magic to keep up with it. Moments later, she was walking back with Ted following behind.


Ted: Hehehehe...

Rayla: It's not funny...

Reeta: The Lord of Sleep attacks again.

Tiane: I have this odd feeling this happened once before.

Reeta: It did. He even got scolded by the drivers when they noticed him sleeping. Suffice to say, he got late to class.

Tiane: Geez, what does he even do at night?

Ted: Family stuff...Can't exactly tell you what it is.

Tiane: Welp...whatever...

Ted: Huh? What are you doing he-

Tiane: It's just a one time thing, so don't ask...I would rather be anywhere else than this boring place.

Ted: No need to say it twice. I've got the message.

Tiane: Did you though? Maybe your snoozy good kid brain didn't catch the message.

Ted: I'm serious! I give you my word as the good kid you know I am.

Tiane: Hmph...

Rayla: Anyway...Morning everyone.

Spring Zone - Outside of Kaori Osamu's House


Hiagor: (As I expected, the place is full of cops...But I'm also seeing a member of the guild over there. Nancy did the right choice sending someone to watch over the cops. They can't do much when there are witnesses.)

Hiagor: (Even still, I don't think he'll just let me in...Not that I need to since I already know what's going on. Just knowing that Kaori is safe puts my heart at ease.)

Hiagor: (Now then, what kind of info should I go next before I get to confront Miss Celest?)

Then, he remembers about the Celest Gold Branching Family. They absolutely refused to help the city, claiming that only the main family has the right and the branching only supports.


Hiagor: (That's where I'll go next.)

Hiagor then, heads towards his next destination, The Celest Gold Pagoda.

Spring Zone Streets


Andorina: Huh? Hello again Rayla!

Rayla: Good Morning Andorina. Seems like I got here before the bus huh?

Reeta: Hey, it's your friend from yesterday.

Andorina: Hi there Miss Reeta.

Reeta: Hiya!

Rayla: So, are you up to walking with us to school?

Andorina: Sure thing!

Reeta: Nice! The more the merrier as they say!

Rayla: So, did you get to talk with Kaori today?

Andorina: Yep! She's finally in a speaking mood. Though she said she's still afraid of going outside...but at the same time, not liking the feeling of being held in a cage. She barely ever leaves her room.

Reeta: That sucks...

Rayla: So she's really okay? Nobody tried to attack her?

Andorina: She's A-Okay! I can confirm that it was her voice that was coming out of the phone.

Rayla: That's a relief...

Reeta: Hey, do you think that she might be open for visits?

Andorina: I...forgot to ask actually.

Rayla: You were probably too relieved to think of anything else. Try phoning her again later.

Andorina: Sure! Maybe I can get some get-well cards from my classmates if she says yes.

Amara: Morning my sweeties! I wish you an excellent day.

Spring Zone Streets

Tatianna was basically pakour-ing through Spring Zone, making sure to not lose her pace. Due to her newfound reflexes however, she was having an way easier time than she's used to.


Tiane: (Avoiding these obstacles now feels like child's play...It kinda takes the fun of it to be honest...)

Then, she lands on an alley and keeps running. When she leaves it however, she almost bumps into someone. Both parts ended up dodging each other. Tiane pulls the Compact Glaive out of reflex while the other person pulls a gun.


Tiane: Wow! Oh wait, it's you.




Mana: Hello there Tatianna! Seems like you're doing good.

Tiane: Kinda...

Mana: I heard from Miss Nancy that you wanted to stay with Lady Amara.

Tiane: Yeah...I feel like I owe them this much after visiting me at the Guild.

Mana: I see. Where are you going right now?

Tiane: It might be hard to believe...But I'm going to school.

Mana: Really? Aren't you...

Tiane: A delinquent, yes. Hopefully, it will be just a one time thing.

Mana: School huh? Must be nice...

Tiane: What?

Mana: Nothing! Anyway, not everyone can dodge like us, so be careful when running around. Besides, some other people might have the wrong idea.

Tiane: Fine...I'll go the normal boring way...

Mana: Hihihi!

Tatianna pockets the Compact Glaive while the gun dissapears from Mana's hand.


Tiane: (Oh yeah, it's that Warp Weapon System thing they told me about. If I didn't knew any better, I would say she's like Rayla.)

Mana: Are you sure you should be using and walking around with that?

Tiane: Didn't Nancy told you? Since my body is already adapted to the device, it won't affect me any further. As for the reason I choose to carry this around...does it even make a difference? Those guys are probably jumping in joy that their little toy can work on normal humans as well. It's not like they're going to miss this device when they can make better versions of this one based on the results.

Mana: You got a point...If anything, they'll most likely just go after more Psychic Users again.

Tiane: And there you have it.

Mana: Well then, I have to continue my patrol. I hope you have fun at school.

Tiane: Don't hope that...

Then, the girls take their separate ways.

Reeta: ... (So...This is her special place...)

Rayla: Sigh...Tiane, I told you to not...Wait, Reeta?

Reeta: Morning Rayla.

Rayla: Why would you follow me to this place? It can't be just curiosity.

Reeta: It's about what you said yesterday...about Lucent.

Rayla: Huh? What are you...Oh...Right...

Reeta: I'm here to inform you that you'll never know the truth about him.

Rayla: Is that so? Even if it means helping him in the long run?

Reeta: Your "help" is just going to harm him. I know Lucent more than you'll ever do, let me handle him instead.

Rayla: He already did something terrible with that power...Am I right?

Reeta: Ah...

Rayla: Look Reeta...I wasn't born yesterday. We might only know each other for two years, but I've been handling people and their behavior for far longer than that. I can understand other people, I can put myself in their place and know what they feel.

Reeta: ...Guess I don't know you as much as I thought I would...

Rayla: Tell me what he did. We can't exactly leave a topic like this unchecked... or it might cost us.

Reeta: Sorry...But even If I tell you...He won't accept your help. As I said before, your help will only do harm.

Rayla: Reeta please! You're being unreasonable.

Reeta: No! You're the one being unreasonable! Why don't you understand that the only ones that can help him are the ones that are the closest to him? He's finally getting to open up to people...if you confront him about his powers...he'll just seclude himself again...probably forever...

Rayla: Reeta...Tell me what he did.

Reeta: You'll die...

Rayla: I won't.

Reeta: He'll reject you.

Rayla: I'll just keep reaching to him.

Reeta: He'll run away scared and we might never see him again.

Rayla: I'll go after him and drag him back home.

Reeta: You can't be serious...

Rayla: I am! I don't want to lose anyone important again ever again!

Reeta: ...

Rayla: I like to help people...I don't want them to suffer the same as I did. It was never because of glory or anything of the sort. That's just who I am. Even if we barely know each other...even if he might hate me...I want to help him right now.

Reeta: I see...You're a good person Rayla. Ever since day 1...you were always this kind person...I never really thought that much about it until now.

Rayla: Then why it looks like you still don't trust me?

Reeta: I want to...But...At the same time, I don't want to risk telling you about Lucent...something might go wrong. I don't want to run
that risk. For him, I think....I might do anything to protect his happiness.

Rayla: I see...I don't blame you for wanting to protect someone dear.

Seeing that further convincing wouldn't be possible, Rayla takes a stance.


Rayla: I know you won't tell me even If I beat you...So I'm passing through and ask him myself.

Reeta: I won't let you let him feel more guilt about his sin! I'll hit you with everything I've got.

Rayla: Enough talk then...You know this is a hopeless fight right? I'm a genuine Ancestor Mage.

Reeta: Well, news flash Miss Celest Lilly...

Music: I am a Newtype




Reeta: I'M A PSYCHIC USER!!!

Rayla: What?

Suddenly, Reeta's arms burst into flames, then, started to fire a barrage of fireballs at Rayla's direction. She dodged them while moving foward.


Rayla: HYA!!

Reeta: Hmph!!!

Rayla threw a magic enhanced uppercut at Reeta, who easily dodged it. She followed up with more punches but Reeta kept seeing them coming and dodged accordingly, as if she was easily predicting their speed and timing.


Rayla: (No way...These are supposed to be faster than her.)

Reeta: (Seems like this dreaded power has it uses.) Now it's my turn...HYA!!!

Reeta dealt a powerful kick that Rayla blocked, but was pushed back.


Reeta: Take this!!!

She fired three fireballs this time, Rayla retaliated with her own energy blasts.


Reeta: Heh! These are different from the others.

The blasts were destroyed by the fireballs, Rayla threw more magic enhanced punches to repel the projectiles away.


Rayla: Urgh...

Reeta: These are directly tied to my Psychic Aura, you won't be able to destroy them with mere shots.

Rayla: When he mentioned enhanced senses...He wasn't joking.

Reeta: No one knows about this dreaded power, not even Lucent and Kaito. I didn't feel like speaking about it because Lucent's issue is just way worse than mine, I can't bother him with something like this.

Rayla: I see...If no one knows about it, then it means that I'm the first fight you've ever had...Your inexperience is going to give me some time to get used to your movements.

Reeta: Well then, I won't give you a chance to learn about me.

Then, Reeta created a bigger fireball and threw at Rayla, who dodged it.


Reeta: It's over!

Rayla: I see...

Music: Strategic Destruction


Rayla: if it's connected to your psychic aura, it means that you can control it as you want.

Reeta: (Crap! She found out...)

Reeta makes the fireball return in order to hit Rayla again, but anticipating such move, she dodges once more.


Reeta: It's what I feared...

Rayla: You won't be able to hit me at long distances anymore.

Reeta: W-We'll see about that...HA!

She makes the fireball home-in on Rayla, who kept avoiding it and closely approached Reeta.


Reeta: W-Well...You won't be able to hit me either...Which means you'll never win!

Rayla: (She's got desperate fast, proof of her inexperience.) But then, that would give me time to figure out your reaction time. There's no way I'll lost to an amateur such as you.

Reeta: (I hate to admit it...but she's right...However, I won't give up. I just have to defeat her before she figures more about me.)

Rayla: (Wait a minute...)

Then, she remembers the reason why the mysterious group wanted to capture Kaori.


Rayla: Reeta, stop!

Reeta: You think I'm going to listen to you? HAAAAAA!!!

Rayla: You FOOL!!!

Rayla manages to approach Reeta and purposedly misses a punch, making Reeta dodge out of reflex, but that opened a way for Rayla to finally figure out the timing of her dodge and to land a strong punch that sent Reeta flying towards the tree. The giant fireball dispelled since she lost focus on it.

**Music Stops**


Reeta: Argh...No...way...

Rayla: Good...Now listen here...I give up!

Reeta: S-Say what?

Rayla: I'll forget about this whole issue about Lucent.

Reeta: What's this all of a sudden?

Then, Rayla carefully walks towards Reeta and starts whispering in her ear.


Rayla: If you keep showing off that power, the mysterious group might go after you...They are after Psychic Users just like you.

Reeta: Oh...I see...

Reeta: In that case...I suppose I owe you an apology...

Rayla: No need to apologize...I won't hold it against you for wanting to protect someone dear. It's hard to tell which of us is actually right...It's up to Lucent to be comfortable enough to reveal his secret.

Reeta: ...

Rayla: Let's go back...This little battle of ours will be our secret.

Reeta: Y-Yeah...We won't talk about this.

Rayla: Super! Now let's get going.

It was clear that Reeta was overcome with regret over having to fight Rayla, even if she did get what she wanted, Reeta felt like she needed to apologize more.

Ted: And in the end, I didn't get to meet sis today...Even though I'm the sleepy one, she's the one who's actually working hard everyday...

Ted: Maybe I should think of a place to take her to when she finally takes a break...

Ted: Yeah, I'll do that. Just you wait sis, you're going to have the time of your life.

Then, Ted headed to the bus stop, waiting patiently for his ride.

Glory Star Orphanage

Meanwhile, in order to shake off her sleepiness, Tiane decided to run at full sprint around the area in the entrance. It was one of
her trainning methoods.


Tiane: (Alright then Rayla, if waking up early is what you want for me, then it's what I'll freaking do. I'll use the extra time to super
train myself in order to beat you in our last decisive duel...)

Amara: Tiane, here's your bag.

Tiane: Huh? What for?

Amara: Why, for school of course silly.

Tiane: The WHAT?

Music: Comical World

Distracted by Amara's remark, Tiane ended up tripping and hitting a wall in the process.


Amara: My, My, did you forget to put you contacts?

Tiane: W-Why?

Amara: I mean...

Tiane: Not that...Why do I have to go to such a boring place anyway?

Tiane: If you didn't know already, this Compact Glaive gave me TONS of knowledge. Going to school now would be redundant.

Amara: Silly Tatianna...School isn't just about studying...It's to meet new faces, forge more links.

Tiane: (We call them confidants these days.)

Amara: And to have fun with your friends. I'm sure I've told you this before. Besides, if you're as knowledgable as you claim, then classes won't be as "boring" as you think they'll be. You'll actually able to understand everything and even reinforce what you already know.

Tiane: Hmmmm...

Amara: Give it a try! I know you'll enjoy it this time.

Tiane: Fine...I'll do it...Maybe one time won't hurt...

Amara: Don't forget to ask where your class is.

Tiane: I won't.

Amara: I hope that you'll have a good time!

Tiane: (I better not try to show off my skills...I saw first-hand the kind of treatment people like Kiragi go through...)

Since she still wanted to do some trainning, Tiane took her school bag and left running at full sprint, making sure she took the longest route.

Ted quickly gets up and shut the alarm clock down.


Ted: That's odd...where's sis today?

Then, he notices a letter under the clock.


Ted: "Dear Big Bro, As you know, I'll be super extra busy with guard duty, so hopefully, Mr. Happy Cat Clock will be able to wake you up. With love - Himika."

Ted: Happy Cat?




Ted: Where did she even find this?

Ted: Oh well...*yawn* Hopefully I can still see her during breakfast...

"Hey dumbass, wake up!"

Tiane: Huh?
"Wake up already! Don't make me pull the sheet, so rise and shine!"

Tiane: The hell?

Tatianna opens her eyes, but all she sees is a blur, but she reconizes the voice.


Tiane: Rayla? What time is it?

Rayla: Time to wake up...Here's your contact lens.

Tiane: Urgh...

She puts the lens on, being able to see more cleary. Then she looks at the clock and notices the time.


Tiane: The hell? That's too early!

Rayla: That's how we usually wake up around here and you know it, now get up.

Tiane: C'mon...I only slept for five hours...

Rayla: That's your problem, didn't Lady Amara teach you to...Oh wait...You spent a good chunk of your life with the Freelers Gang, you didn't learn anything from RESPONSIBLE ADULTS!!!

Tiane: Urgh...Is this how it is like to be living with you?

Rayla: No, I just deduced you wouldn't want to wake up early. Anyway, the others are waiting.

Instead of leaving through the door, Rayla leaves through the window instead.


Tiane: H-Hey! Where are you going?

Rayla: To my special place...Don't follow me.

Tiane: ??? (That's odd...I've never heard of it...)

Rayla usually skipped breakfast during school days, heading towards the lone tree in the grasslands in order to offer her prayers to her deceased friends and to her mother. However, she didn't notice that someone else was following her.


Reeta: (Sooner or later, she'll confront Lucent about his power...I can't let that happen.)

Granny: Would be nice if you did.

Then, Lady Amara glares at the boy who made Kiragi trip.


Granny: We're going to have some talk after this little boy.

Hiagor: Well, I guess I have seen enough.

Hiagor finishes his plate, then gets up.


Hiagor: I thank you all for having me tonight.
Little Girl: Are we going to see you again Mr. Detective?

Hiagor: Who knows? I might still have business in this place.

Rayla: Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Hiagor: That would be the door's funeral then.

He gets up, then leaves the orphanage. Rayla also finishes her plate, then heads for the living room, but before saying Good Night to everyone.


Rayla: (Maybe I'll be in a better mood tomorrow...)

Unlike everyone else in the orphanage, Rayla sleeps on the ground, as she feels like she shouldn't be taking the space of the people who were at the orphanage way before her. Soon, she falls asleep.


Tiane: (And here me thinking she was using my room...)

Tatianna looks at the rooftop.


Tiane: (You really should care more...about this city...Do more than just help those around you...)

Tiane: (I would probably join if that was the case.)

Seimei Family Mansion - Dining Area

Music: Kurain Village

As the members and some of the servants of the branching family were having dinner, suddenly, a member of the main family showed up. Everyone at the table suddenly stopped an bowed to him.


Himika: (It's Uncle Taira...)

Taira Yurei Seimei: Good evening. I hope that you're all enjoying the night.
Servant: Yes sir.

Taira: So, I've come here to inform that the trainning of the future head of the family will be finished when summer begins.

Ted: Really? That's great!

Taira: Yes. As you know, she's reaching the final stages of her trainning. We from the Main family are trying our best to keep the influence of her Spiritual Aura as supressed as possible...Granted, we didn't expect it to be this strong.

Himika: Really? I thought it was a normal thing.

Taira: On the contrary...Hinamori might be the strongest member to have ever existed in our family...Which is why I really need to reinforce the fact that you should NOT, under ANY circumstances, let her trainning be interrupted.

Himika: (Meaning...more work for me...Not that I'm complaining since it's for Cousin Hina's sake...but I kinda want to rest once in a while.)

Ted: Are you guys really sure you don't need my help?

Taira: Your sleep has already been affected enough by the influence of spirits...we can't run the risk of a non-blood member of the Seimei Family to get possessed by a random spirit now. The spirit might make use of your earth powers, we don't want that to happen.

Ted: I see...It's just...I feel like I'm not doing enough to help you guys.

Taira: Worry not, you'll be responsable for re-introducing her to society.

Ted: Say what?

Taira: You see...Hinamori is saddenedfrustrated that she never got to have friends...ever since childhood, we've been making sure she doesn't wander outside. So she's working hard in order to master her powers so that it doesn't affect the people she wants to make friends with. Being a member of the main family is not an easy task.

Ted: Was it like this for you as well uncle?

Taira: Yeah! However, since it was way before the Ancestor Families revealed themselves to the world, I didn't have any reasons to interact with the outside world. As you know, we were one of the families that didn't have some kind of outside business. We always lived in isolated.

Ted: I see.

Himika: Must have been a bore...

Taira: Not really. It's just that I'm used to the quietness. Anyway, Can I count on you to teach Hinamori about this world?

Ted: Do you even have to ask? I'll do it!

Taira: Good. That's the spirit my boy!
Servant: Master Himika, the library is still open for use.

Himika: Heard that bro?

Ted: Sure did. Now then, excuse me.

Ted started to leave the room.


Taira: What are you going to do there at a time like this?

Ted: Oh, I'm helping Rayla with something.

Taira: Her? But why? Are you sure you should be helping her?

Ted: Um...well...

Taira: That good for nothing woman is doing absolutely nothing to help the city...If anything, you're better off helping someone else. You should know that.

Ted: I know that...but even still, I feel like I should help her at least with this.

Taira: Fine then...You'll see that such help will change nothing.

Ted: My apologies...But I'll do it.

With that, Ted heads towards the library, regardless of the thoughts of his uncle. He would spend some time researching, then, would go
to sleep.


Taira: That boy is conflicted with something.

Himika: You can tell it too?

Taira: Seems like that the following days might be somewhat interesting.

Himika: You think so? (Bro did say he took a detour with Rayla...maybe it has something to do with that.)

Ted's Home consisted of two halves, one was the Mamoru Seimei Mansion and the Yurei Seimei Tower. Both families can interact in the mansion but only the main family can stay in the tower.

Ted: Sis! I'm home!




Himika: Hi there Big Bro! You took a while. Did you perhaps get lost?

Ted: Sorry about that...I asked for Rayla's help but it ended with me taking a detour.

Himika: La-La huh? How is she doing? Haven't talked to her in ages.

Ted: She's doing okay. (At least that's what I think. She still looked upset when we parted ways.)

Himika: That's good to know...If I wasn't that busy, I would pay her a visit.

Ted: I bet she would be happy to see you.

Himika: Anyway, let me see that war fan.




Himika: Yep, I'm sure cousin Hina going to love this.

Ted: Why a war fan anyway?

Himika: Why not? I bet that if we introduce her to that store, she'll fawn over all the items in display.

Ted: I doubt that...Isn't she like, super quiet? (That's what I've heard anyway.)

Himika: Let me rephrase that then...She would fawn over in her own way.

Ted: Heh...

Himika: Anyway, you got here just in time, dinner's ready.

Ted: Nice! By the way, is the library locked right now?

Himika: I'm not sure...why?

Ted: I have to research about a place called Kingdom of Arcadia.

Himika: What's that? Some place in the Mediva Country?

Ted: That was my guess as well...But I still have my doubts.

Himika: Seems serious enough. I'll ask one of the servants to keep the door unlocked.

Ted: Great! Now let's eat, I'm starving.

Himika: Same here! Next stop: DINNER!!!

Suddenly, they hear Tatianna announcing that dinner is ready.


Rayla: That's our cue.

Amara: Now now kids, you know there's enough for everyone.

Tiane: Wait for your turn! Today's food is really worth the wait.

Rayla: I'm sure it is.

Moments later, everyone had food on their plates.


Reeta: Hopefully, you didn't lose your edge Tatianna.

Tiane: On the contrary. I was crowned as the best soup maker of Spring Zone.

Hiagor: Wait, who gave you that title again?

Tiane: Homeless People.

Rayla and Reeta: What?

Tiane: You see, once a month, our Boss would invite a bunch of homeless to the hangout spot and the whole gang would distribute soup for them to eat.

Reeta: Okay?

Tiane: What are you so surprised? I believe I told you we aren't the kind of gang that causes trouble...Well, some of them are rather impusive, the boss even has to scold them once in a while, but we are really a group that wants to enjoy life.

Reeta: That's seriously hard to believe.
Little Girl: Wow! Your boss is really a kind guy.

Tiane: I know right? He's the best.

Reeta: Guys...don't listen to Tatianna...Her idea of living life to the fullest is skipping school.

Tiane: Hey! I'm just telling a story...It's not like I want them following my example...

Amara: Who's this gentleman by the way? I believe we haven't been introduced yet.

Hiagor: I'm Private Detective Hiagor. I got to say, It's been a while since I've tasted home cooking...and it is as good as I remember.

Amara: Pleased to me-
Little Boy: Wow! A Private Detective? Like that Holmes guy?

Hiagor: I'm afraid that's too high of a bar for me to jump over.
Little Girl: Do you solve a lot of mysteries?

Hiagor: I investigate cases, yes.
Little Boy: Then, can you find my toy car? I've searching for it everywhere but didn't find it.

Hiagor: I can try.

Amara: Hey, Don't bother him with such requests. I already told you to keep your toys once you're done playing with them.

Hiagor: Hehehe... (So these are the people that Rayla interacts with everyday.)

Rayla: ...

Hiagor: Anyway, I've come here to know Miss Rayla a little better.

Amara: I see, what for exactly?

Hiagor: Database purposes. She's such an influential figure in Spring Zone, yet I know so little about her.

Amara: Is that so? What do you think Rayla?

Rayla: I don't really mind. Let him investigate as much as he want.

Reeta: (Hopefully, he focuses entirely on Rayla...)

Despite her initial suspicions, Reeta ends up enjoying the food Tiane made. Rayla herself was impressed as well, but decided not to say a word, despite the happy and warm atmosphere, her mood was still somewhat bad.

Reeta: R-Really? (Oh crap, she's suspecting him.)

Rayla: Let's hope this escapade wasn't related to this energy.

Reeta: I-I'm sure it will be fine. Lucent is just shy, he would never do anything to harm someone, I'm sure of it. Word of someone who has been in the orphanage longer than you.

Rayla: Let's hope that's the case. (She knows something...But I don't think this is a good time to bring it up, I better do this as soon as possible...What might happen next might not be pretty...)

Reeta: (Oh boy...What should I do? Should I tell...)

Reeta: (No, I'm going to protect Lucent's secret...Even if it means...revealing my own secret...)

Reeta: (If she ever confronts him about his power...No one knows how he would react...and he might...I won't let it happen, ever!)

**Proof Discovered at the End of Sadness still being played**

Rayla felt a familiar stench of cigarretes, but decided not to bother much with it.


Hiagor: You were right, she does plays the guitar around this time.

Tiane: Were you doubting me or something?

Hiagor: More like you know about her schedule so well that it astonishes me a bit. (Says me, the nosy detective.)

Tiane: It's not that disturbing when I don't have that bad of an intention...right Rayla?

She ignored their talk and kept playing the song.


Tiane: Hey!!!

Hiagor: I don't think she agrees with you.

Tiane: Nobody asked you! So um...I'm back...I guess...

Rayla: Talking with the wrong person here.

Tiane: Aren't you at least a little bit happy?

Rayla: I know you don't really mean it. As soon as you're satisfied enough, you'll go back to your gang.

Tiane: Well...Maybe...

Hiagor: She completely got you there.

Rayla: *starts ignoring them again*

Then, the front door opens. Reeta gets out looking exausted and wheezing for air.


Reeta: Whew...Was I that full energy as a kid? Maybe I was...Hm? This song...

Rayla: ...

Reeta: Hey Rayla, when did you co-

She notices Tiane standing near Rayla.


Tiane: (Well...I came here knowing what I was going to get...Better not complain...) Um...Hi Reeta...Been...a while...

Suddenly, Reeta ran at Tiane, as if she wasn't exausted at all.


Reeta: YOU BIG MORON!!!

Tiane: Wah!!!

She hugs Tiane and lifts her in the air, spinning themselves afterwards.


Tiane: The heck?

Reeta: You idiot...do you know for how long you made us all wait?

Tiane: Well...I did visit at least once a month...

Reeta: NOT ENOUGH!!!

She puts Tiane in a playful chokehold and starts pressing her fist in Tiane's head.


Reeta: You know how much she cares for you, and what do you do? Stay away from your brothers and sisters for a long time, worrying that you might be doing something dangerous...Like those hearing aids you were wearing...

Tiane: This one was for a good cause...you know that.

Reeta: I know...But...You know what I mean.

Reeta releases Tiane from the hold.


Tiane: Yes...The usual "Something worse could've happened to me." thing...

Reeta: That's right. Hopefully, you've finally learned it this time.

Tiane: (Did I though?)

Reeta: You know...When I hear news that you've visited Granny, It's usually when I'm at school. Why is it different this time around?

Tiane: I want to stay with Granny for a...To be honest, I'm not sure for how long.

Reeta: Really now?

Tiane: I know it might sound absurd coming from me...But I mean it. I want to stay with you guys for now...Relive the old times and all...

Reeta: Right...In that case, go and talk to her...And while you're at it, go help her cook dinner, I'll be joining soon.

With that, Tiane ran to the building with a smile on her face.


Reeta: Tiane...It would be better if you stayed for real...I know you enjoy your time with your friends...But we are like family, right?

Hiagor: So...Why she stays off the orphanage again?

Reeta: She doesn't see herself being adopted by a family. She never knew her parents and all the family bonds she have is with us.

Hiagor: I see, so I'm imagining that after seeing a bunch of brothers and sisters being taken to new families, she realized that she wanted none of it and decided to stay away from the orphanage. That's when she met the Freelers Gang, who had sort of a familiar atmosphere from that of the orphanage and decided to stay with them.

Reeta: You've guessed it right. We suggested that she could visit the adopted ones, but Tiane answered with "It's not the same thing...everyone should be together."

Hiagor: I understand her way of thinking...But that doesn't mean I agree with it. If she didn't want to be adopted, why didn't she make a deal with her caretaker then?

Reeta: Because she is against it. Granny supports the idea that Tiane should be in care of a loving mother and father.

Hiagor: That would be the right thing to do...I mean, once they all grow up, they'll have to take their separate paths anyway when they are able enough to get a job and buy a house of their own. It's not like this "happy world where everyone is happy together" is going to last forever. How is she's going to fight life if she never learned how to do so with someone capable of teaching her that?

Reeta: Yeah...She tends to be dismissive about being a good person...It can be a nuisance sometimes...But that won't stop me from caring about her.

Hiagor: I came here wanting to know more about Rayla's life, but ended up with a new info dump about Tatianna instead.

Reeta: By the way...who are you? I really should've asked this sooner.

Hiagor: Sorry for not introducing myself before, I'm Private Detective Hiagor.

Reeta: Nice to meet you, I'm Reeta Jin Fox, and this is Rayla Celest Lilly.

Hiagor: Commonly know as The Holy Hammer. It's too big of a name for me to not know about her.

**Music Stops**


Rayla: If you want to know more about my life then I have one favor to ask of you...

Hiagor: What is it?

Music: Zura Ja Nai, Katsura da!


Rayla: Do not! Call! Me! Holy Hammer! That's a silly looking name made up by thugs and I don't like it.

Hiagor: Right...I'll take note of that and be careful from now on.

Rayla: Good. Anyway, you didn't take long at the guild...I thought you wanted to take as much of info as you wanted.

Hiagor: I do...But let's not discuss that right now. In fact, why don't you invite me over for dinner in your house? As I said, right now I want to know more about your life.

Rayla: Hmmm...

Reeta: Should we let him in Rayla?

Rayla: Well, I'll make sure he doesn't do anything fishy.

Hiagor: Still suspecting me?

Rayla: Of course. You still haven't given me a reason of why should I trust you...Especially when you were so insistant about questioning a girl who was still in shock of the incident.

Reeta: Geez...I don't want to think what would've happened if he actually managed to do that.

Hiagor: (And there goes my image.) Kind of my job to be intrusive...If the police is one-upping me all the time, then I'm not much of a detective now, right?

Rayla: Hmph...Let's get going...Oh, and one more thing...

She summons a vial of perfume and gives it to Hiagor.


Rayla: Try masking that stench...Lady Amara is very strict with one's clealiness.

Hiagor: Right...I'll do that...

Reeta: Maybe give him a brush too?

Rayla: Not a bad idea...I'll see if Lady Amara has a spare.

Reeta: Sure thing, I'll go help her out with dinner.

Hiagor: (Maybe I shouldn't to smoke that many cigarretes before I leave home...)

Music: Starlit Night


Andorina: So...Why do your sister wants to do with a war fan again?

Ted: This is a "Decorative War Fan from the Hin Dynasty." She said that cousin Hinamori likes antique stuff, so she told me to buy this as a gift for when she completes her trainning.

Andorina: Hmmm...

Ted: Yeah...I really don't see the point of collecting these things either...But if my cousin likes it, then I won't say no.

Andorina: Hihihi!

As they waited for the bus, a hooded man with his hands in his pockets approached the two.


Ted: Maybe I'll invite her to practice caligraphy and...
Thief: *pulls a knife* GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!

Andorina: KYAAA!!!

Ted: Sigh...This is happening now.
Thief: C'MON OR I'LL STAB HER PRETTY FACE!

Ted: You'll hurt her if you do that.
Thief: KIND OF THE POINT DUMBASS!

Angered by the snark, he swinge his arm at Andorina, she closed her eyes, but the attack never came.

Thief: HUH?

Music: Brand New Japanesque


Ted: That was dangerous man. You shouldn't be so hostile to people like that.
Thief: WHAT?

He saw that Ted had snatched the knife from his hands mid-swing.


Ted: Now then...I'm giving you a chance to run. I don't like hurting people, but if you try someting like this again, I'm afraid you're the only one that will be suffering here.
Thief: LIKE HELL AM I GOING LISTEN TO SOMEONE AS SCRAWNY AS YOU!!! HAAAAAAAA!!!!

Ted: Well...I tried...Andorina, hold these for me.

He gives Andorina the knife and the war fan, then takes a fighting stance.

Thief: You're fricking DEAAAAAAAAD!!!

Ted: You sure to love screaming huh?

Ted pulls a sealing charm out of nowhere. He dodges the lunge with a sidestep while slapping the charm on the man's mouth.

Thief: MMMMMMMMFFFFF!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMFFFF!!!

Ted: Don't worry, it will come off tomorrow. (Mostly because I'm from a different Ancestor Family, I can't really learn how to fully use those seals effectively.)
Thief: MMMF? GRRRRRRRRR!!!

Ted: Seems like you want more...WATAAAAAAH!!!

He hits a Kung-Fu like kick to the man, sending him away. He got up and ran in a panick, seemly tripping on something that was thrown right at his feet.


Ted: You forgot your knife sir!
Thief: MMMMMMMMMMMFFFFF!!!

**Starlit Night plays again**


Andorina: Incredible! You did quite a number on him.

Ted: Kinda wish I didn't... (Oh boy...his friends are so going to hunt me down huh?)

Andorina: Thanks a LOT! You really saved me! If I didn't had a boyfriend already, I think I might've fallen for you.

Ted: (Good...Kinda don't want to get in a relationship right now...)

Then, the bus arrived, Andorina gave back the war fan and boarded it.


Andorina: Let's meet again in the rooftop tomorrow.

Ted: Sure thing!

Andorina: Oh...One more thing.

The door started to close.


Andorina: Maybe you should take Nancy's offer.

Then, the bus left, leaving Ted to reflect upon the suggestion, he looked at the sky with a melancholic look.

Rayla: Hmmmm.... (Well, I'm back home...but for some reason, I don't feel like entering right now...)

She uses her magic to change back into her school uniform. Then, summons her guitar and starts playing the first song that came into her mind.

Music: Proof discovered at the end of sadness


Rayla: (Hymm of Proof huh? This one has been poping into my mind lot lately...)

Rayla kept playing the song, feeling the breeze on her face as she let the musical notes soothe her soul.
