When Saruhiko and I stepped off the bus, Aya and Yata were already there, waiting for us.

"Fushimi!"
"Hanayori!"

"Was it okay for you to go out at night?" Yata wondered.
"Your parents seem kinda strict."

"Strict?" He mumbled.
"My parents?"

"...?"

"It's gotten cloudy." Yata observed, looking up at the sky.
"Will we be able to see the blimps like this?"

"It's planned that their altitude will be like, reduced so it's no problem." Aya replied.
"They'll descend to under the clouds."

"Planned?"

"The plan for catching the blimp!"

"Yata-kun, how much do you know about the blimp?" I asked him.

"Isn't it some wealthy man living above the sky?"

"Exactly."
"The blimp will like, travel on this fixed route." She confirmed, opening her PDA and pulling up a page of numbers.

"These are hint which calculates the hints given from Jungle."

"Ugh, nothing but numbers." He grimaced.

"Understood? You have to like, mark off each of these 32 digits."
"You then have to divide them in like, 4-4-9-9-6 parts, which are like, respectively, the date, time, y-axis, x-axis, height."
"If you sort them and plot them above the map..."
"You'll get this kind of line!" She chirped, as a glowing line appeared on the screen.

"Oogai, you're amazing!" Yata exclaimed.

"Solving a problem like this is easy for Aya!" She boasted.

Munching on an onigiri, I sat with Aya and Yata on the blanket that we laid out, with some food and a light.

Trying my best not to cringe myself to death as I watched the exvhange between Aya and Yata and the milk tea she made.

"We should also be together with Fushimi..." He said, glancing in his direction, where he sat near the railings of the building.

"Let him be." I said.
"Since back then, he had been like, this kind of guy."

"Oogai and Fushimi..."

"We're relatives." She answered.
"Second cousins."

"Aya has like, known him since she was little."

"What's Fushimi's place like?"
"Are they really rich?"

"They do have money..."

"And his mother owns a business." I added.

"His mom is the head of a company?"
"Not his father?"

"Pfft-" I tried to stiffle a giggle.

"...His father?" She laughed.
"Imagining it alone is impossible."

We both fell into a fit of laughter and giggles at that thought.
Fushimi Niki as the CEO of a company?

"Oh that reminds me, Hanayori-san."

"Hm?"

"Isn't your family like really rich too?"

"Ah, I mean I wouldn't really say that..." I stated, looking away.

We were then interrupted by someone's phone ringing. Aya's.

"Ah, I'm like, sorry, I'm getting a call." She said, turning away to answer it.
