"Eh? Guren is still alive?" Erissa asked Blythe as the two got on her motorcycle.

"Yes. You stabbed him, though it did not kill him. He is currently handling my assassination jobs that I cannot do," Blythe replied.

"I see! So, where are we going?" Erissa asked as Blythe drove around the neighborhood.

"Well, Satou said to meet him at the park near Hoshinorion. Natsumi Hyuga, Fibel, and Mimmy should all be there," Blythe answered.

"Are we going to hang out in the park or something? Sounds boring!" Erissa whined, wanting to do something fun.

"You have a concert with Satou. Its best you two practice before we can start to have fun," Blythe stated.

"I guess that's what's best. I mean, we already practiced a few times this morning!" Erissa reasoned.

"Then you forgot the steps to the last song and sang the wrong solo. You also then went back to your house to check if your father went home. After that you called me to pick you up and go to the desired meeting place," Blythe said back as they reached the park.

"Why are you guys always thirty minutes late?" Satou asked as Blythe and Erissa reached the park they were supposed to meet at.

"I'm sorry, Satou-kun," Erissa looked at the boy and smiled.

"It's fine. Anyway, what are we going to do now?" Satou asked. Natsumi raised her hand.

"Let's go shopping," Natsumi suggested in a really emotionless voice.

"Sounds like a good idea, Hyuga-san," Mimmy smiled.

"I have no problems with it!" Chelsea exclaimed.

"I think we should split into groups of three," Blythe suggested, picking up Poe, who just randomly came up to Blythe.

"Ooo! Sounds good, nya!" Erissa agreed.

"I'll take Mimmy and Fibel, then," Blythe said.

"That's not fair. You can't just get Sakurada and Fibel and leave me with these two idiots!" Satou glared.

"Oi! I'm not an idiot!" Erissa screamed.

"I don't care. I'm taking these two. Plus, you guys can go do some bonding with your daughter," Blythe teased.

"Blythie! You're so mean!" Erissa whined.

"I like that idea, Blythe! Come on, let's head for the mall!" Mimmy smiled.

"Eh? You're just going to leave me with an idiot and a silent maniac?" Satou yelled.

"Don't worry, Satou. You have an idiot, so you'll be fine," Blythe said, walking away with Mimmy and Chelsea.

"Stop calling me an idiot, will you?" Erissa screamed at Satou, lightly hitting him.

"Again, why am I stuck with you?"

"Shut it, Yasaki. Anyway, we have to get going. I'm not going to waste my day standing here," Erissa glared.

"Fine. Get Hyuga and let's go," Satou rolled his eyes.

Erissa looked over to Natsumi. "Natsumi-chan, let's go!" Erissa exclaimed.

Natsumi nodded and followed Erissa and Satou to the mall as they argued on who's money to spend.

"That would be $1,000," The cashier stated.

"E-Eh?"
