And the day of the prefectural had arrived. What a nice weather! For some reason, I felt rejuvenated today. I wonder what will happen later.

I'll win for sure though. That's what I feel.

I went to the kitchen with Go-chan to prepare my breakfast, but mom was already there

"Good morning" she greeted me with a smile "breakfast is ready, your lunch later as well. Eat first before you prepare."

"Good morning mom. You sure are early"

"Yes~ Your dad needs to go to the shop today- ah, I'll drive you and your dad, so you don't need to rush. Go-chan will go for a ride this morning." She chuckled looking at Go-chan, who seemed know what would happen

"Thanks mom. Where's dad though?" I asked

"In the living room, watching the news. Can you call him? I know he got too excited from the news, but he needs to calm down and eat breakfast"

I went to call dad and he was standing in the middle of the living room, his hands crossed, with a creepy smile.

"Dad, mom said breakfast is ready and she said you need to calm down. Another good news?" I curiously asked as I stood next to him, turning my gaze towards the TV, "a news about a politician?"

"Yeah, while I was in Tokyo helping my friend with the case from before, I received a call that a certain politician, Kitagawa Sano, was pressuring the establishments around the shop, including our shop. He wanted to build more restaurants and hotels in the area to boost the tourism here"

"And what happened to that politician?" I again asked, and dad was still having this creepy smile "dad, you are creeping me out"

"Well, he was caught last night. Police released search warrant to his restaurants and hotels. In the basement of those places, there are illegal gamblings, sex trafficking, and more illegal trades. At the same time, an article came out showing that he is having an affair, with the wife of his secretary"

...

"Wow... he is surely a one heck of a politician. The evidence against him just came out all at the same time?"

"No, there were lots before already. But always remember this (f/n), in this world, some people with money, some people in power, they are being backed up by laws even though they do wrong things that is why they can freely do whatever they want to. But I am glad, the police couldn't hide him anymore because it was all over the news. Well, I am thankful that we are avoiding the worst scenarios"

"Not so fast my dears, I said breakfast is ready" we flinched as mom's voice came from behind "I said no rush since I'll be sending you, but if you don't hurry, you two will be late"

"Let's go, the boss is calling us, and her getting mad will be out worst scenario" dad put his arm around my shoulder then patted it "we'll wait for the news that you win the prefectural. We'll watch the regional instead, okay?"

"Please don't preasure me." I laughed and we head to eat breakfast

Mom sent me first before dad, and to my surprise,

"Basketball team surely have lots of time" I chuckled dryly looking at Akashi, Reo-nee, and I think the guy who was with Reo-nee before near our shop "you are again here"

"We don't have anything today. We don't even have practice today" Reo-nee responded with a smile

"Ah, right. Only Archery has a tournament right after the exam." I complained with a smile "anyways, have fun watching. Though there's really nothing to watch."
