Souji: Do you even know that your wife died last night?
Iris's dad: I do. A friend of mine told me but I was too busy to care.
Souji (releases an angry aura): Too busy to boss a gang instead of caring for his family. That's cold but I kind of expected that from the leader of Blood Blossom.
Iris's dad: How...
Souji (interrupting): Do me a favor and don't call this phone number. (in his mind having his eyes normal after handing up) I may of course problem for Iris but it's one way to see what he'll do.
Ruby's voice (while Souji read the message on his phone after it phone vibrated): What was that I sense from you?
Souji (while replying to the text): I was on a phone call with Iris's father on her phone. After school be on guard.
(in a building quiet area)
Ruby (in her mind while holding a red phone that has a white star logo on the front side with a white keyboard): He thinks something might happen after school. (see Iris open her eyes) Did you enjoy your nap?
Iris (while sitting up): I remember closing my eyes for a second but how did I get here?
Ruby (while Iris stretches): Souji carry you here after you suddenly fall asleep.
Iris (notice): Where's Souji?
Souji (walking over): I'm here. (look at the time) I'm surprised you're awake.
Iris (leaning her back on the sofa): Are we late?
Souji (puts Iris's coat on her shoulder): No. We still have some time. (after touching Iris's forehead) You're still a bit warm. If you get too hot I'm going to take you to the nurse before taking you home.
Iris: I won't argue with you this time.
Ruby (standing): I wish I could stay a bit longer but I need to head to my Kendo class.
Iris (look at Ruby while she picks her cloak up): See you at lunch.
Rubu (smiling): Yeah (before walking off) but let me know if anything changes.
Souji (sitting next to Iris after Ruby left): While you were asleep we put to tracker device in your phone and pendant for safety reasons of course.
Iris (puts her coat on: Do you have one?
Souji: Ruby and I do have one in our phones and weapons. This is so my father can watch us and help us just in case we get captured or need backup. Also, your dad called.
Iris (not happy): He asked for money and didn't care about my mother's death.
Souji: Correct. I talked to him myself and that may cause problems for you.
Iris: I don't mind. You say things because you're mad for my sake.
Souji: I also need to apologize.
Iris: For?
Souji: When you went to get your mum something to drink and eat. I question her to find out if she's still part of your father's gang. Your mum already knew what I was doing.
Iris: Will that information help you and your father?
Souji: Yes because if I didn't question your mum or met you. You both would also be taken to prison for questions.
Iris (standing): Then let me ask you this. Are you protecting me because my mum gave you important information or are you doing this because you want to?
Souji (standing while picking up his sword bag): It's because I wanted to.
Iris (turns her head a bit with a smile): Then we're all good. (start walking) We should be heading to our class.
Souji (follow behind): One more thing. Did you know your father is the leader of the Blood Blossom gang?
(hallway)
Iris: Kind of. People who pick on me mention that name but I didn't believe them since I know they are the strongest gang. However, thanks to you telling me I know (suddenly felt a bit unsteady) that it won't be easy to put him in jail.
Souji (stop near Iris after she stops): You alright?
Iris (smiling at Souji): Yeah. Something flew into my eye that all.
Souji (in his mind while walking with Iris): She must be in a bit of shock but it's hard to tell how she's feeling right now.
(GD building classroom)
Teacher: Okay today you'll be in a team of three. These dungeons will be tougher so please be extra careful.
(back of the classroom)
Souji (touched Iris's hand when she was about to reach for the headphones while they both sat in front of a computer): No.
Iris (whispering while looking at Souji): If it's just us. We can finish it faster.
Souji (whispering): I know but we're working with one more person. (near Iris's ear) If you have to during the boss fight then I'll allow you but only for emergencies.
Iris: I understand. (normal voice level while taking her coat off): So who is this second member?
