Her phone buzzed in her pocket. Not bothering to take it out of her blue blazer, Rei only focuses on the dish in front of her. 'Edible but for a person without the God's Tongue.' That is what she always says in her mind whenever she eats food that someone else's cook. However, the French omelette with a side of sausage and salad is overflowing with emotions that she loves. Smiling softly, it was a peaceful day after finally two days of work at SHINO'S.

"Do you like it?" Tsukasa glances to his left, eyeing the ravenette being shone by the bright French sunlight of the morning. In the dining room, they sit opposite the see through wall made out of glass. Bright blue birds flew from tree to tree and the many various flowers sways gently in gentle morning breeze.

"Yeah, it's somehow very calming." Sighing, the soft chirping rings into her ears. "So what are we going to do for the rest of our days here?" Taking a sip of her morning coffee that someone goes very well with her breakfast, if only Rei knew that she was going to France, she would have packed different clothes despite knowing that it'll be during the period of the sudden break.

"We can go shopping if you want." Looking at her wearing her Totsuki uniform everyday, as well as her chef's uniform, he decided that it'll be time to have her change out of it. "That is of you want to." Looking abck down at his plate, Tsukasa begisn to imahine her in clothes different from which he saw her in. The soft sound of the cutlery fills the spacious white dining room as none of them spoke.

Still wondering if she should have a sudden wardrobe change, she agrees nonetheless. "But I like baggy clothes. It has grown onto me ever since I came to Totsuki." Unlike her old clothes that shows her true physic, after starting to go incognito for a ling time, she never felt so free and loose before. "I'll pay you back, somehow. That is if I end up with anything I like" There wasn't anyone else in the white room but them. Having ushered all the servants away before the start of eating their breakfast, Rei can still hear the gossiping maids right outside the wide French doors.

"Payback? No! It's a gift from me to you!" Blushing, Tsukasa steals a quick look at Rei.

"But I don't think I really need one right now." Setting down both of her fork and knife at the edge of the circular plate, Rei looks over at Tsukasa. "School is still going on and when the real vacation starts, it's not like I'm going to go home or anything. Therefore, I don't need any clothes." Picking up her cup of coffee, Rei drains it.

"But don't you think those clothes that you wear aren't too big for you?" Saying it as politely as he can, Tsukasa finally brings it from within himself to ask.

"I modified it enough so that the clothes fit me. I think I'm perfectly fin--e." Feeling her phone buzzing from her pocket, Rei mentally rolls her eyes. "Well, I'm finished. I'll go carry this back to the kitchen." Picking up the glass cup and saucer, she puts it on top of he white plate along with her utensils. Holding it with one hand, she takes out her phone with the other.

'Three unknown messages?' Seeing three different message from different people, Rei clicks the latest back when she was still in Totsuki Resort. 'Better now than never.'

I saw you standing outside his door. Eavesdropping is so unlike you, Morihika Rei. Misusing your God's ear, I see.

'What?' Seeing the date and time of the sent message, Rei begin to feels shivers down her spine. Creasing the middle of her gap between her brows a bit, Rei recalled that it was back when she was still in Totsuki Resort. Having read what the unknown person sent her, she is certain that someone saw her outside Dojima's door when he was talking to the director of the academy. Going to the next unread text message, Rei pauses midway to the door.

'They know who I am.' Her eyes widens. Having known the very selected few of people who knows about her true identity, Rei can feel a bad omen slowly approaching her. 'I--it has to be someone following me at least. Someone who knows me.' Going onto the final message that just came not too long ago, that was when she felt her world stop.

France has so much to offer. Continue to criticise the food you eat. Don't let your God's Mouth go to such waste. Any chef and patisserie will die just to be you.

'No, it cannot be. I cannot accept it to be this way.' Rei feels shivers running through her body. The sudden gush of unecessary adrenaline hits her all of a suddenly. Her hand clutching her phone and plates begins to shake. 'Can it be? No--'

"Rei," A hand touches her shoulder and Rei immediately jumps in surprise. Letting go of both her phone and plates, everything went clashing down to the stainless floor. The loud crach echos through the dining room. The two individuals inside widens their eyes when they suddenly realised what happened. The two French doors burst opens and maids and stewards looks at the now flawed room.

"I'll clean it right now." Squatting down, Rei quickly reaches for a glass shard.

"Rei!"

'Ow,' The glass penetrates through her index and thumb. Bright red blood begin to slowly flow down her fingers and stain the silver marble.
