The advisor of the student council was Serizawa Rika, a PE teacher. She was a woman around thirty with short hair and a strict look. To his surprise, Asagi could recognize her the moment he saw her at the teacher's office, just like how he was able to recognize the members of the student council. It was a strange phenomenon, but he put that thought aside since he still had an unfinished business with the advisor.

Asagi and Asakura told their teacher about Ueda and Hasegawa's misconduct. They told her how they caught their misconduct, how they got the evidence, how Ueda had admitted and explained his misconduct to them. They told her that Inaba and Yoshino were on their way to confirm Ueda's situation. They told her that they wished her to talk this out with Ueda's and Hasegawa's physics teacher and homeroom teacher. They told her that they hoped the teachers would lighten Ueda's punishment if all his claim about his circumstances was true. They told her that they hoped the teachers could settle this matter quietly so that there would not be any complications in the future, such as bullying. After settling their business and handed over Hasegawa's notebook and evidences from Ueda's phone to their advisor, Asagi and Asakura went home.

Asakura's home was in the opposite direction, so Asagi could not count on her to help him reach home. He could only count on himself. Fortunately, he remembered the name of his apartment, so he could also count on the GPS on his phone.

According to his GPS, his home could be reached in 20 minutes from Teitan High by walking, but since it was his first time in Beika, Asagi could not help getting lost even when he got a GPS with him. It was not that he could not read the map and direction on his GPS or could not understand the words the GPS said. It was just that he got distracted by many new things he found as he walked home (Tropical Land! Professor Agasa's and Shinichi's houses! Mouri Detective Agency! Poirot! Oohh, Touto Tower! Wait, wait... he seemed to have passed this road before... where was he again? Oh no no... He was so sure he made the right turn, so why couldn't he find that big mansion that he had passed before?). It made him lost track quite a few times, causing him to be unable to determine his position. The GPS did tell him where he was, but since he was in a completely foreign environment and a fictional one to top it off, he had a hard time to fully count on it. He ended up asking passersby or someone from nearby shops to determine where he was and where his home was just to make sure the GPS was right. He was so embarrassed because really, how could a Teitan student who was also a resident of Beika ask the direction to a place in Beika? How shameful! He really wanted to hide in a hole and never come out again!

He should be able to get home in 20 minutes, but he ended up spending more than an hour. When he got home, he was so tired he wanted to sleep, but sadly he could not because he still had his "homework" to do.

First homework: investigate his fictional identity and his fictional family's identity.

After taking bath and changing his uniform into a T-shirt and trousers, Asagi locked himself in his room, rummaging all the things he had inside. His phone, his books, his clothes, his files in his laptop (the password was exactly his laptop password in the real world!), his video collections (he was sure that what he had in the real world was Godzilla, but here, it became Gomera. He loved Star Wars, but here, he could only find Star Blade). From his student book and other formal documents, he managed to get his basic data, like his name, his parents, how many siblings he had, and when and where he was born. His name was Nagayama Asagi, born on March 23rd in Tokyo, identical with his own birthdate and birthplace in the real world. His father was Nagayama Kosei and her mother was Nagayama Natsuko. He had a younger sister, Nagayama Akari. His mother was a housewife while his father was a journalist.

In the real world, his mother was a housewife as well, but his father was a simple salaryman. Again, he noticed that his new life was not completely the same as the old one. He had the same name, the same birthdate and birthplace, but his family was completely different.
