Kazuha's POV. Takahashi/Nakano Residence. The night before the school trip.

Nino: Kazuha, we're going to buy some stuff for the school festival.

Akane: Is there anything you two want? Kazuha? Itsuki?

Itsuki and I are just sitting on the kotatsu as we both shake our heads.

Akane: Oh, okay. Then, we're off.

Kazuha: Have a safe trip, you two.

Yotsuba and Nino left the house for them to buy the things that they needed for the school festival.

The school festival is tomorrow.

But I feel restless.

I really feel like something is gonna go wrong.

Itsuki: Kazuha, is there something bothering you?

Kazuha: Hm?

Itsuki: You've been restless these past few days.

Itsuki: And you've been avoiding Ichika. Did the two of you had a fight or something?

Kazuha: No, it's just. You know, I feel like Ichika is scheming something.

Kazuha: Something so messed up that it's gonna cause chaos.

Itsuki: Hmmmmmm................

Yotsuba: Ah, Kazuha-san, Itsuki, you've been sitting at the kotatsu for quite some time now.

Kazuha: Ah, Yotsuba. Perfect timing, I need you two for something.

Itsuki: Hm?

Kazuha: I can't say this here. Ichika might get suspicious if she hears we're talking about something serious here.

Yotsuba: Is there any secret places you have?

Kazuha: I have a secret place. Follow me and check your back, in case we're being followed.

Itsuki: Your guard is totally up even here.

Kazuha: Well, with someone like Ichika living here.........I really can't afford to let my guard down.

The two of them followed to the left wing of the mansion and I unfolded a secret ladder on the ceiling.

Itsuki: Wait, has there always been a secret ladder to the attic?

Kazuha: Yeah.

Yotsuba: So cool.

Kazuha: You can marvel at it all you want later. Let's go before someone sees us.

I first climbed the stairs and then followed by Yotsuba then Itsuki.

After those two managed to get up here, I folded back the ladder and concealed the secret.

Kazuha: The only ones who knew this secret are me, Akane and Mom. Itsuki, Yotsuba, I trust that you two will keep this as a secret from the other three.
