She traveled to Paulownia Academy High lingering until she noticed an approachable student, she walked towards a girl with brown hair tied up into a pony tail cheerfully chatting with her friends. Seiko cleared her throat "Urm.. Hi.. I was wondering if you knew where Naho or Aiko was..?" The girl nodded and gave directions to Seiko, saying the Aiko girl would in her class room , class 3-5. She nodded thanking the kind girl and traveled to the class.

The classroom was empty except for a girl wearing a almost weird shrine maiden dress, it was short and purple with a red under skirt. A white frilly collar lined it,  a blue bow stuck into a corner of her hair her legs crossed as she read through an unnamed book with no title, but even so the age of it was obvious.

Seiko made her way over sitting down in the desk beside the girl. Seiko looked over her hands cupping her phone, "your.. Aiko?" The girl nodded glancing up from the book shutting it. "I am, and you are?". "Seiko, my name is Seiko." She nodded and leaned her head onto a hand amused, "and what do you need from me?" . Seiko cleared her throat, "You know Naho yes? Well I thought maybe you could help me.".

"So Naho sent you? It was about time, it had been a while-" She asked tilting her head , "No. I mean , well, do you know Heavenly Host?" Aiko blinked before nodding , "Yes, that was her last adventure after all." Seiko nodded relieved she knew what she was talking about. "I... " She hesitated unsure if she should tell this stanger, but decides its her only lead . "My ...friends died, and... I want to know how to save them!" Aiko opened her mouth slightly in surprise and closed it in a light smirk.

Aiko tapped her nails against the worn book, "I could, for the right price." Seiko bit her lip, her family had never been very well off . Seiko sighed "Can I do something, non money related..? By any chance..?" Aiko thought for a second she pulled out a spare bookmark and wrote on the back.

She smiled slightly tilting her head , "Do this and we will see." Seiko nodded and read over it leaving Aiko , feeling the stare of the off girl as she watched every movement she made.
