"Good Morning, Musuko."
[Musuko Means 'Son']
Budo sat at the table,"Good Morning, I just wanted to let you know I'll be having dinner at a friend's house; They invited me.", his dad looked up, Budo knew he was gonna be allowed as his dad was going to be at meetings all night.
"Of course; I assume it's one of your friends from the club."
Budo nods, he didn't wanna tell him it was The Sakiou Corp's Eldest Daughter had invited him to dinner to talk about strange happenings at school, he would insist on coming.

=💌=

Budo was taken it back by the house- No, mansion or some kind of castle!
Budo approached the bodyguards, they had looked at him and he held the note to them,"Sakiou Megami invited me. . .", one took the note, the other spoke into the ear piece,"Sakiou Megami; He's here.", why did it feel like he was doing something illegal?
"Right this way Masuta Budo."
Right-They knew his name, didn't know how to feel about that.
He followed the guard, making sure to keep up with him as he admired the garden and house; Never in his days did he think he'd ever be on the grounds of the Sakiou Corp Home.

~💌~

The mansion was just as beautiful!
Everyone was so fancy, making him feel so out of place with his headband, hoodie, jeans and trainers.
"Masuta Budo."
Megami came down the stairs, Budo bowed,"Greetings, Sakiou Megami; Thank you for the invite.", she nods, nodding to the guard,"You are dismissed.", he bows to her and heads back outside.
"Very nice home you have, so elegant."
"Who is this?"
Budo jumped, seemingly out of nowhere a boy had appeared, leaning against the door and had this scowl on his face.
"Saikou Kencho; Nice to meet you."
He walked towards them, tension filling the room,"Megami's otōto brother.", ah, he was her little brother though it was odd he's never heard of him until. . . Just now.
"Yes; If you please excuse us, we have important matters to discuss."
Kencho seemed to want to say something, snarky to his sister but before he could, it was like he had lost his voice.
"Kencho."
To the left side, out came two men.

Saisho Saikou
Sakiou Saisho, the founder of Sakiou Corp; And pushing his wheelchair was presumably Megami and Kencho's father; Saikou Ichirou, who glared at his son.
His son in returned glared at his father and left, not without slamming the door and making Budo realise that maybe he's just walked into some. . . Behind the Scenes stuff that he shouldn't have seen or heard.
"I apologise; We welcome you, Megami; I'll be taking my father for a regular check up, the Butler will have dinner ready shortly for yourself and your friend.", she bows to them,"Of course; Thank you, Father and Grandfather.", her grandfather didn't say much, but it did feel like he was staring into Budo's soul as he shifted uncomfortably and probably looked so out of place.
He then nods, and he was wheeled out by his son.
. . .
"I apologise for that; Please, this way to my office."
"Office? You have an office??"
Megami nods and they went upstairs, Budo still couldn't help but be at awe of everything around him.

=💌=

Her office was just as beautiful!
She sat behind her desk,"I apologise you had to witness that; Family matters that will be none of your concerns.", Budo nods, taking a seat across from her,"I understand.", Megami nods, she then opened her filing cabinet and pulled out a few folders, each one filled with so much that it was surprising the folders didn't look worn holding it all.
"So. . . May I ask about what you meant that night at the Docks?"
"About the deaths?"
Budo nods.
Megami cleared her throat,"I firmly believe that Najimi Osana's Arrest and Odayaki Amai's death were premeditated.", Budo nods,"You think. . . Someone wanted this to happen?", Megami nods, opening one folder and it was screenshots of a chat history from Osana's Phone and. . . Presumably her Stalker.
"From reading the text, it's highly suspicious that Najimi would go from rejecting him, being scared of him to suddenly having him do things for him to prove himself, I've spoke to the two girls in the photos here and they said the Stalker had came up to them, they distanced themselves after that and, not to mention that song that played on the speakers throughout the school.", Budo nods, he remembered that far too clearly and was still trying to wash it out of his head.
"Yeah. . . And there was the graffiti."
"Mhm; I have that as well."
Megami folded her arms,"I firmly believe someone wanted Najimi Osana gone; What tipped me off, was that she claims that Aishi Ayano had met her on the roof, kidnapped the Stalker as a way to 'help' her.", Budo remembered Ayano, she didn't stand out much but he remembered her as she was asking him about the Swim Club and Martial Arts.
"She's friends with. . . Haruka Kokona?"
"I believe so."
Megami then pulled out another folder, pulling more pages out,"And for Odayaki Amai, leading to her death, it was reported that Rumors were being spread by the group of friends but, they have to have their sources somewhere or from someone, and when I asked the cooking club members, and they did mention Aishi Ayano joined the club and were making rounds around the tables.", Budo frowned, seeming to catch on.
"Are you implying. . . That Aishi?"
Megami nods.
A heavy silence.
"Some part of me did hope she wasn't like her mother."
Budo frowned,"Her mom?", Megami nods, and held a folder to him that looked older than the other files.
"This isn't the first time an incident like this have happened."
Upon opening it, his stomach turned as he scanned the words and pictures.
A body in the bathroom, a body burnt to a near crisp, crushed by a bookshelf and others that made him close the book.
"I see. . ."
"Doing some more digging, it was found that all girls had a crush on the same boy, an upper classmate, Yudasei Jokichi, but this ended up going for trial as a Journalist accused Aishi Ryoba for the murders, he had plenty of evidence but she charmed the Jury and was claimed innocent, I'm sure you've heard of this.", Budo nods, he had heard of this all too well, one of the reasons his mom didn't want him to attend this school.
"Yeah, all too well. . . The uhm, Occult Club visit these locations, hoping to contact their spirits."
Megami nods.
"So, you think Aishi is following her mother's footsteps?"
Silence.
Megami leaned back.
"Do you know what was her mother's possible motivation was? It was she killed those girls so she could have the upperclassmate to herself, no sooner than that trail happen, he went missing amd returned weeks later going out with her."
Megami tapped her pen,"My father, my family  are well aware of what she is capable of and potentially her daughter; We know what she did, but never had the solid evidence to prove it was her without a shadow of a doubt.", Megami messaged her forehead, Budo quietly read the papers.
"So. . . What are you going to do? Or what can you do, and why do you need me?"
Megami sat up,"I want to protect the school, students and teachers from this happening again; I want to find evidence, solid proof, that will lock the killer away. And I wanted to turn to you, and I'm willing to pay a price for your services.", Budo looked at her, then held his hand out to her,"There's no need to pay me to help save my classmates lives; Can't put prices on lives.", Megami was surprised, her raised eyebrows and he smiled,"And as Club Leader, it's my job to protect everyone; I'm in.", Megami nods, shaking his hand.
"Welcome aboard, Masuta Budo."

When dinner was over, Megami escorted Budo to the front door.
"Thank you again."
"No problem. You'll be in school next week, right?"
Megami nods, the doors to the living room. . . Maybe, opened and Megami's Father came out along with her mother, who was drinking wine as she followed her husband.
"I do apologise for not greeting you properly; I hope to see you again, to have a proper meeting."
He shook Budo's hand, Budo smiled and couldn't help but glance behind him and his eyes widen in shock to see The Headmaster sitting in the living room with Megami's Grandfather.
Then, Budo felt scared as The Headmaster locked eyes with him, Budo inched a bit behind Megami,"Are you alright? You probably need to be home soon.", "Y-Yeah.", Budo bowed to them,"Thank you, again for the meal.", and Megami escorted him out, though Budo glanced behind him worried that The Headmaster would chase after him.
Why was he there?
Talking to the Founder??
"Thanks for tonight."
"Of course and, thank you."
Budo nods,"You alright walking home?", "Yeah, no worries; Goodnight Sakiou.", and Budo left, speedwalking before the possibly of running into the Headmaster comes true.
