Inazuma Town, Tokyo

The crackling sound of an egg being fried on the frying pan brought a smile on her lips. Fair, dainty fingers grasped the long handle firmly as she started to flip the egg. A happy gasp left her lips when she saw the egg turned out well. Carefully, she lifted the fried egg and placed it onto one of the two plates, joining it with the bacon strips, baked red beans, coleslaw and fried sausages.

Sound of footsteps drew her attention to the the entrance and saw her father walked in, dressed in a simple black T - shirt and grey sweatpants. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Otou-san!" She called out with a bright smile. Looking down at the two plates on the kitchen counter, she lifted them up, steadily walked to the dining table and placed them down.

"Would you like a cup of coffee, Otou-san?"

"Yes, thank you."

Clanking sound of porcelain cup meeting saucer, sleek sound of coffee being poured and another clanking sound later, the coffee is ready. The rich aroma of the dark and bitter drink tempted him to take a long sip, and he gave in. His daughter, not only kind and soft-spoken, but also good at cooking and household chores. From his place at the head of the table, he watched his daughter preparing their lunch boxes while humming softly.

He was truly blessed to have such a good daughter.

"Fuyuka." He called out her name.

The purple-haired girl turned around. "Hai, Otou-san?"

"I hope you will quickly fit in with this new town and school. I'm really sorry that we have to move away-"

"It's alright, Otou-san." Fuyuka smile warmly. "I'm happy as long as I'm with you."

Even a person with a cold heart would undoubtedly be touched by her sincerity. "Fuyuka..."

"I'll make sure to enjoy myself and make lots of new friends! I can't wait!"

Kudou let out an internal sigh and stared at the garden outside of the sliding door. A bird flew swiftly to a nest on a tree branch, a few worms in her beak to feed her little ones.

If only she knew why they have to move.

3rd Floor, Student's Support and Welfare Committee Office, Student Council Block
Inazuma High School, Inazuma Town, Tokyo

There were some time left before the start of the first period, so the members of Student's Support and Welfare Committee spent the remaining time in their office, continuing on their never ending work. The office was relatively quiet, only sounds of typing on keyboard, pouring water, and occasional grunts and sighs from the members.

Instead of doing his work like the rest of his colleague, Endou simply sit behind his desk, holding onto a draft paper for a speech and stared at it with a blank mind. The words in the piece of paper seemed to be floating around. His mind was drifting afar, still on the conversation that happened on the night of the graduation.

"Now that I'm officially not a student of Inazuma High School and a member of Student Council, I am able to do this."

Endou blinked in confusion. "Do what?"

Tsunami didn't reply for a while. Slowly, he reached for his pocket and withdraw something from it. He looked at it for a while before handing it to Endou. Upon receiving the picture, Endou looked at it with a small frown. It was a picture of an elementary school girl. She had twin-tailed purple hair and big blue eyes, dressed in a light red gown. She was playing on a swing, a cheerful smile on her face.
