"That's it, we are planning another concert!" Mimmy exclaimed, slamming her hands onto the student council room table.

It was after school, and Erissa, Mimmy, and Satou had told Chelsea of the mysterious person that entered their classroom.

"What good are we going to get with that?" Blythe asked.

"Well, since we saw a suspicious person, it would be best to attract more suspicious people at a larger event!" Mimmy exclaimed.

"Great, another tiring concert," Satou sighed, putting his head in his arms which were on the table Mimmy had previously slammed her hands on.

"Don't whine now Satou-kun! We have to sing five songs so save that whining for later!" Erissa scolded, lightly hitting Satou's head.

"Five songs? Yay, I can't wait," Satou rolled his eyes.

"But isn't the suspicious person named Natsumi Hyuga-san? Why don't we ask magic researchers to do research on her?" Chelsea suggested.

"That costs a lot of money, Fibel," Blythe glared at Chelsea.

"Ah, really? Then we can do research on her ourselves!" Chelsea smiled.

"Wait, I think I heard the name of Natsumi Hyuga-san before," Satou said, taking his head out of his arms.

"Where?" Erissa asked, checking her phone for song ideas for the concert.

"I remember my mother told me to stay away from her. She's a very skilled swordsman who apparently is really emotionless," Satou replied.

Suddenly, the door opened and outside was a girl with short, wavy, purplish gray hair.

She had blackish gray eyes and to Erissa, Satou had seemed correct.

She did seem very emotionless.

Yes, that person was indeed Natsumi Hyuga.

"Um, may I help you?" Satou stood up and asked.

"Hi, I'm looking for Erissa Toudou and Blythe Yuuki," Natsumi replied.

"What do you need with them?" Satou asked again, kind of glaring at Natsumi.

"Nothing. I just was interested in the two," Natsumi then looked around the room and pointed at the assassins.

They were all silent until Natsumi moved towards Erissa and stroked a certain part of her hair.

"E-Eh?"

"Soft hair. You are Erissa Toudou," Natsumi said, still stroking Erissa's hair.

Natsumi then moved towards Blythe and looked at her face.

"You are Blythe Yuuki," Natsumi said, going back to the door.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Natsumi Hyuga. I am here to watch Erissa's upcoming concert with Satori Yasaki," Natsumi announced.

"We haven't even announced it to the public! How do you know?" Mimmy asked, confused on how Natsumi knew about the concert.

"Oh. I thought you did. Anyway, I also came here to deliver a message from Yuunoa-chan," Natsumi explained.

"You mean my mother, correct?" Blythe asked, standing up from where she was sitting.

"Yes. She says that after the upcoming concert she is looking forward to gamble with you guys. I'm sure Guren told you about this earlier," Natsumi informed, then quickly left the room.

The five students looked at each other.

"I can't believe my whole family is stupid. They will do anything to get corrupted by evil," Blythe sighed.

"Well, at least you aren't corrupted by evil, Blythie!" Erissa smiled.

"That isn't my point, Erissa. Anyway, are we going to continue this concert?" Blythe asked, looking at Mimmy.

"Huh? Oh, yes! I also made it royalty themed!" Mimmy exclaimed.

"Ooo! When will the concert be?" Erissa asked, standing up and walking to the chair next to Satou.

"Two weeks from now! This will be the largest concert ever, so be prepared!" Mimmy smiled.

"Eh? The largest? Princess, I'm not ready for this," Satou sighed.

"Come on Satou-sama! You have to quit whining and perform with me!" Erissa pouted, leaning on Satou's arm.

"You're cruel, Princess," Satou glared.

"Anyway, I think we should head home. We had enough of today's game. We've been planning concerts and seeing a suspicious student so I think we should have a day off," Blythe suggested.

"Sounds fun!" Erissa exclaimed.

"Mm, it does," Satou said, agreeing with Erissa.

Mimmy and Chelsea nodded.

"So, where do you guys want to go?" Erissa exclaimed.

"We should decide tomorrow. After all, it is getting late," Blythe responded.

"Okay then. I'll be leaving first then. See ya!" Satou smirked, then left the room.

"We better get going," Blythe looked at Erissa as she said that.

"So, Blythie, what did Guren tell you to tell me?" Erissa asked Blythe as they walked home together.

Blythe hesitated, but then responded.

"All he wanted to say was that he loved you. As a friend and romantically, but that was the past. He was forced to believe that you were a bad person, which put him into a situation where he couldn't tell you the truth," Blythe explained.

"Is that it?" Erissa asked, kind of disappointed.

"Yes, why? Did you lose your feelings for him and suddenly got the hots for Satou?" Blythe asked.

Erissa blushed and flinched as soon as Blythe smirked at her.

"N-No! Besides, now we have to focus on Natsumi Hyuga-san!" Erissa denied.

"Fine, reject those obvious feel—"

Erissa's phone suddenly rang, and she pulled her phone out of her pocket.

It was Chelsea, and it seemed very urgent since they had just left the school.

"Chels?"

"Eri-chan! Natsumi Hyuga just asked if she could go with us tomorrow! I couldn't reject her so I told her she could come!" Chelsea screamed into the phone.

"E-Eh? Natsumi Hyuga-san is coming tomorrow!?" Erissa screamed back.

"Y-Yes! Is that okay?" Chelsea asked.

"I guess.." Erissa answered, then hung up.

"I'm guessing Natsumi Hyuga is coming."

"Yes."

Blythe face palmed and looked back at Erissa.

"We have a huge problem, and this time, it isn't good."

Erissa nodded at Blythe's words and looked at the sun set behind her.

"Isn't the sunset beautiful?" Erissa asked, holding Blythe's hand.

Blythe nodded. "It is. It reminds me of when we first met," Blythe smiled.

"It does," Erissa agreed.

The two stared at the sunset that marked another day over.

And another tragic day was about to begin.
