I yawned and woke up tiredly as the enthusiastic shouts of the people in Inazuma City were heard, If i remember correctly.. Today is where Yae Mikohangs up the posters for the meet & greet huh?

I sigh, Knowing i have a lot to do today. As i changed my clothes a sudden knock was heard from the door, Huh.. Thats weird. Everyone is outside right now, Who could it be?

As my mind was clouded with thoughts of who could it be, I opened the door to find one of the Yae Publishing workers standing right before me "Oh! Uh hello- Er is there something going on at the Publishing House or?.." He seemed out of breathe, When he finally

Caught some air he said "I've.. Came here to deliver a letter from Guuji yae. Please take it! I need to start opening the store or im for sure fired!" He said while he shoved the letter in my chest. He ran away with a look of worry on his face.

Seems like a stressful day for them huh.. I look at the neat looking envelope as i closed the door and sat down.
I was about to open the letter when-

"HEY PUP! GUESS WHAT!!" I whipped my head to surprisingly see itto climbing into my window "Wha- Itto! You could've went through the door today! Nobodys at the front desk probably because of the racket of-" — "MS.HINA!? I KNOW RIGHT!! Shes having a Meet & Greet next week!"

"Oh? Ah well thats amazing and all but i have a letter right now to open And-" I saw as my candle was burning the envelope at my desk As i was so distracted of Itto "AH!" I said as i blew out the fire, "Pup is that important? Y'know you can always ask for another and all-"

"No.. Its fine besides it doesnt seem to be burned that much- Anyways why are you here?" — "Well duh! Look at this!" He shoved A poster infront of my face.

To my horror- It was a neat looking "Photo" of the so called Ms.Hina i would be lying if i didnt say it looked Legit. "Ah i see.. Ms. Hina huh?.. Anyways i'll go back to you when i read this letter." — "Eh!! Atleast let me read it with you!!" — "Ugh.. Alright fine. As long as you make your reasoning short for coming here." —- "Alright!"

I turned my head to sit down at my bed. He followed while humming. I opened the letter, To see portion of it was burnt.
Of course right after noticing the mark. I started reading

I saw the smudged name

I saw the smudged name.. It was unoticable and i couldnt read it- But i had a light thought of who it could be. (I KNOW ITS NOTICABLR TO YOU GUYS but lets pretend he cant see it...) "Oh awesome! What commision are you doin at Ritou??"
Is this guy dumbfounded? It obviously says revenue! And the only revenue occupied today until next week is-

It clicked right in my mind. Yae you scoundrel. Ugh. "Ah.. Itto the commision has nothing to do with you so i think you shouldnt come with me this time haha.." I said with a forced smile i was feeling a bit light headed at the time aswell.

I didnt eat anything since today and yesterday. A bit concerning, But i just couldn't- "I just cant- Cant keep doing... doing.. thi...." Everything went black in An instant. And it seemed i was fully aware what was happening.
