"So you're still alive." Bermelia said as she stared at Prospera.

"I've always had the devil's luck. And since when do you work with Peil Technologies, Bel?" Prospera said as she turns to Bermelia before walking towards her.

Bermelia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I had... no other choice." She said as Prospera stopped by her side.

"So you're the one carrying on the Vanadis legacy." Prospera stated which got no reaction from Bermelia.

"That machine called Aerial... there's no way you built it on your own." Bermelia deducted as she looked at Prospera. "What're you planning to do?" She asked. "Why have your own daughter pilot it?"

"You're much more talkative than I remember." Prospera exclaimed, still keeping a smile on her lips.

"It's no use taking revenge for a 21-years-old--" Bermelia was about to say more but she was interrupted by Prospera who butted in.

"That Gundam pilot... how many have there been?" Prospera countered Bermelia's question with another question which put a stop to Bermelia asking her more questions before Prospera walks away. "Nice to see you after so long. Until we meet again." she said, leaving Bermelia there with her thoughts.

"Yes. The witch is under the wing of Peil Technologies. As expected, we smoked her out. Worried? Not at all. I'm sure my old friend's son would win. They didn't call him Raven for nothing." Prospera said as she talked to her employee through a phone call, walking away from the lobby.

Opening Break

Late night at the Earth House, the girls doing fortune telling again as rocks and bones I guess were thrown onto the fortune board.

" "How you annoy me," " huh?" Aliya said as she observed the board with Lilique across her, Suletta and Nika were on the bottom bunk bed. "Why would the Ice Prince speak so harshly?" Aliya wondered out loud as Lilique answered with Elan being a creep.

"Isn't he the one who invited you?" The girls looked at Chuchu who's on the top bunk of the bed with her hands behind head as a pillow while her legs are crossed, she leans into the bed with an annoyed expression. "Now he's even pissed me off." She said with an annoyed tone.

"Is it because I asked about his birthday?" Suletta said, looking down her voice filled with sadness.

"You did nothing wrong, Suletta." Nika said to her as she's trying to assure and cheer her up.

"I'd say you fall for people's sweet words too easily." Miorine said as she's typing on her phone seems like she's chatting with someone.

"But aren't you falling for Naoto's sweet words rather easily too, Miorine-san?" Suletta stated which caught her off guard and a blushing mess.

"That's so sweet! Miorine-senpai, who are you chatting with on your handbook? Don't tell me it's Naoto-senpai?" Lilique says with smile and received a reaction from Miorine with her cheeks turning red like tomato, thus approving Lilique statement was right.

"Well, putting that aside... you can't take it back now." Chuchu dismissed the atmosphere in the room. "Naoto will just crush him in that duel!" She said with confidence.

"What I can't accept is that you agreed for Naoto to duel him without consulting me." Miorine said to Suletta as her blush subsided.

Suletta looked down in guilt and sadness. "I'm... sorry.." she apologized as Miorine are at the door, not facing her.
