At the classroom, Alisa and Kyoko look at Meadow that walks in and sits at his seat. 

"What did Ichigaya wants from you?" asked Alisa. 

"According to her, to talk but knowing her, talking is not something she is able to do," said Meadow. 

"You want us to join you?" asked Kyoko. 

"Yes. I don't trust her at all," said Meadow. 

"After bullying you for years, it is understandable that you don't trust her," said Kyoko.  

"When she wants to meet you?" asked Alisa. 

"Lunch time. I'm not sure if I should go," said Meadow. 

"We got you back so don't worry," said Alisa as Kyoko nods.

Juuna listens to the conversation. Shioriko walks towards her best friend. 

"Ichigaya want to talk to him. I wonder why?" asked Juuna. 

"Knowing master, he will ask some of us to accompany him just in case she decides to do something bad to him," said Shioriko. 

Juuna sighs. 

"That Ichigaya is really annoying. I have no idea why she didn't get reprehend yet," said Juuna. 

"Knowing Sayo Tsuruhime, she just focus on common people and give all kinds of excuse on power influence people's action. That's why master hates her so much," said Shioriko. 

At lunch time after the group has done eating, Meadow walks towards the cherry blossom tree. He sees Kaoruko stands under the tree. He sighs, clenching his fist. Kaoruko looks at him that stands nearby. 

"Finally. I am tired of waiting for you," said Kaoruko. 

"What do you want, you entitled bratty princess?" asked Meadow, angrily. 

"Is that the way you talk to me? Show me some respect. I even willing to give you the audience," boasted Kaoruko. 

Sighs annoyingly, he turns around and head back to the building. 

"You dare walk away from me?" asked Kaoruko, angry.  

"You're just wasting my time," said Meadow. 

Kaoruko grits her teeth. 

Shioriko, Hina, Kyoko and Alisa look at Meadow that walk in. 

"How was it?" asked Kyoko. 

"She just boasting herself like always so I just walk away," said Meadow. 

Shioriko sighs. 

"Just ignore her, master. If she refuses to talk to you like a normal people, you don't need to waste your time entertaining her entitlement," said Shioriko. 

"Agree," said Meadow. 

Hina hugs his arm. 

"Come on master, we still have lot to do and not have much time until the bell rings," said Hina. 

"Calm down, Hina," said Meadow.

Sayo looks at Hina that still hugging Meadow's arm. She sighs in annoyance as she walks away.

After school ends, Meadow walks out from the school and towards the nearby station. He walks into the station that stands at the platform. 

"Swirl." He sighs as he looks at Sayo. 

"What do you want this time?" asked Meadow, annoyed. 

She sighs. 

"Look, I know you hate me and I hate you but right now, my father threatens me to cut everything and disown me if I didn't become your slave and learn about respecting all types of people including the commoner," said Sayo. 

"How that is my problem?" asked Meadow. 

"Because it related to you too. Otousan wants me to serve you until I learn my lesson and you forgive me. That's why I want a truce with you," said Sayo. 

Meadow sighs as he looks at the train that arrive. 

"You said it yourself, Tsuruhime. You hate me, I hate you. The truce won't mean anything," said Meadow as he walks into the train. 

Sayo sighs. 

'This is hard and he is making more difficult that it should be' thinks Sayo.

Alisa and Kyoko arrive at the house. 

"What are you planning to cook for dinner?" asked Kyoko. 

"Rice and fried egg. I still need to look at the ingredient before making the decision," said Alisa. 

"I wonder what Meadow would like to eat?" asked Kyoko. 

"Maybe squid and prawn with mix vegie. It is his favorite," said Alisa with a giggle. 

They arrive at the house and unlocks the door.

That night, Meadow walks slowly and tiredly along the road. 

'Too many data need to be input tonight' thinks Meadow with a sigh. 

He sees the house he is in and smiles. 

'Home sweet home' thinks Meadow. 

He sees Sayo stands at the gate and sighs. 

'I don't have time and energy to deal with her' thinks Meadow, annoyed. 

Sayo sees Meadow that walk towards the gate. 

"Swirl," called Sayo. 

"Go home. It is getting late and we have school tomorrow," said Meadow as he unlocks the door.  

"I won't until we have a talk," said Sayo. 

"Just because you can control the police doesn't mean you above the law," barked Meadow, angrily. 

The older twin sighs. 

"Look. I am not here to fight or argue. I'm here to make a truce. A cease fire," said Sayo. 

"And you expect me to believe that?" asked Meadow. 

"Am I that unreliable?" asked Sayo, shocked. 

"The way you act since first year so yeah," said Meadow as he unlocks the door.

Inside Hina's room, Hina closes the book and yawn. She stands up and sees Meadow and Sayo at the gate. She puts the book on the shelves and run towards the door.

At living room, Tamao and Fumi sit at the sofa, drinking the tea. Hina runs down from the stairs and head towards the main door. 

"What happen, Tsuruhime-san?" asked Tamao. 

"Oneechan is a the gate with master," said Hina. 

Tamao and Fumi stand up. 

"Why is she here?" asked Tamao.

Outside, Meadow opens the door. 

"Just go back. You're just wasting my time and yours," said Meadow. 

"Look Swirl, I know you don't care what happen to yourself and definitely never care what happen to me either," said Sayo. 

"Correct. What happen to you is none of my concern. You hate me and I hate you so let's leave it as it be," said Meadow as he walks in. Sayo sighs.

"Oneechan." She looks at Hina that stands at the door. 

"Hina," said Sayo, surprised. 

"Stop disturbing him. He doesn't want anything to do with you," said Hina. 

"Please Hina, talk to him. Let him see the sense," pleaded Sayo. 

"Sense?  What do you mean? You keep on blaming him for something he didn't do, punishing him for the sins that you imagine. So tell me, what sense do you think you want me to tell?" asked Hina. 

Sayo keeps quiet, trying to think the answer. 

"Just go home, Oneechan. We have nothing to talk to," said Hina as she closes the door. 

Sayo sighs as she walks away.
