Saki tapped her finger against her chair's arm, waiting for the next video to roll around. Something twisted in her stomach.

Idol...An idol, huh?

In this one Kumagawa must have already graduated. What were the chances of Kumagawa encountering an idol.

Slim, the chanches were very slim. Well, Kumagawa's odds were fucked up from the beggining.

But what if he did so intentionally? He wouldn't try to replace her, would he?

Bill:Well, let's return to the magic school.

Najimi sifted in her seat. The last view of that universe didn't exactly end well.

The winter break ended and students were coming back to school. Admitedly, Kumagawa had not been on his best mood after that night.

Sure, he didn't do anything to get in trouble. Irritated as he might be, he was great at acting and controling himself when needed.

He wounders if Kujira liked his present. He had gave Medaka some rare plants and receipt for porions he came with himself.

Alas, as everyone returned to Hogwarts, so did Medaka and Zenkichi. As good at Kumagawa was at acting, they had close enough bond with him to know when something was wrong.

Zenkichi:Uh...Kumagawa-senpai? Did something happen?

Kumagawa:[Well, I did get our informations.]

Medaka:But that is not all, is it?

Kumagawa:[...On the night I began my detective work I meet up with Harry-chan by accident and, well, you know how clumsy he can be.]

Zenkichi:Yeah, although not as much as Ron-kun.

Kumagawa:[So he opened a book which began to scream, alerting the caretaker. Of course, we had to hide and found a mirror.]

Medaka:As you saw fit to mention it, that means it wasn't an ordinary mirror.

Kumagawa:[Yeah, it had an magical ability. It didn't show you your reflection, but rather...What you want most.]

It was said in some cases it also made people lose their mind over it. Lucky he was already like this fron tge beggining.

Both of them flinched at that. What Kumagawa desired most...They knew what that refered to. Or rather who.

Zenkichi:I see...So that's why.

Kumagawa:[Thankfully, I had made great friends with the caretaker and had found ways to calm myself down.]

Neither of them was gonna continue this conversation. She was too much of a sensible subject to Kumagawa, even after all this time.

Silent. The room was weirdly silent.

Zenkichi turned around to look for the subject of this conversation. Najimi looked contemplative, if not a little...Guilty?

Zenkichi:...You really became more human, huh?

Medaka:Hm?

Zenkichi:No, no. It's nothing Medaka-chan. I was just thinking...Two terrible people might not be so terrible for each other.

Medaka:Zenkichi...You're being weird again.

Medaka:So, what was that was hidden?

Kumagawa:[Well, you might be familiar with the term. The Philosopher's Stone.]
