Author's Notes

I'm sorry for the delay. Finally, here's chapter 20. This chapter will be the last one up till then.

Quick note: Words, lines or dialogue that are box bracketed [] are said in English. Underline does not pass over when I copy-paste the document onto WP, which is annoying and a waste of time to reapply so I switched to box brackets.

This chapter is 32.8K words long.

The next day

I let out a yawn while walking through a hallway. It's still pretty early in the morning so I decided to take a short stroll around to relax.

Last night was an embarrassment for us five, we lost both the cultist and that girl. That light blonde-haired girl especially confused us.

What does she mean by talking to the cult?

What does she mean by we're making a mistake?

Those questions kept me up last night. As much as I try to ignore them, they keep bothering me.

"Where could that girl be?" I quietly ask myself as I reach into my pocket and pull out the empty casing from last night.

"The stargazing trip is tomorrow, I shouldn't be preoccupied by this." I say with an exasperated sigh before putting the casing away.

I look back up and I see... the girl from last night...

Same light blonde hair, same ponytail, same lime green eyes... and her sleeve is rolled up, showing her left arm is bandaged up...

It's definitely her.

Fate truly is mysterious...

I notice that the girl's eyes momentarily look at me but she acts like she didn't see me. I clench my fist lightly and glare at her before I feel someone right in front of me, snapping me out of it.

"James." I look down and see Yuki standing just a few inches away from me, her head tilted up to look at me.

"Yuki... when did you get that close?" I ask Yuki. Is Yuki that short that I didn't see her? She is really quiet and she did sneak up on me the day we met.

"I saw you, so I came to you." Yuki replies. I momentarily look up to check on the girl to see her gone. Whatever, not like I can do something right now anyways.

"I see, so how have you been?" I ask Yuki as I turn my attention back to her.

"I've been doing good, how have you been?" Yuki replies.

"Could use less chaos in my life, but fine and functioning for the most part." I reply and sigh tiredly. Yuki hums in reply as she keeps her head tilted upward to look at me because of how close she is and our height difference.

That's when I notice that her chest is pressed against me...

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Yuki asks. This girl is really clueless about social interactions between males and females...

I suddenly remember that I took a bath with this girl and I blush when I recall that... sight...

"Do you have a fever? Your face is getting red." Yuki asks as she tries to reach my forehead with the back of her hand, unintentionally pressing her chest against me more, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I-I'm fine, Yuki, don't worry." I say in slight panic as I take a step back and Yuki's unintentional 'assault' relents.

"Are you sure?" Yuki asks me.
