Ever since Nala arrived at the café, something had been bothering her. She always feels that someone or something is watching her, but she never saw anyone or anything.

A week after she arrived, a pouch with either money or gems is left outside the café. She never saw who was giving it but it always has a note saying that it's hers. She took each one, but never used it for herself. She intended to give it back to whoever gives it to her.

One morning, she decided to finally confront the mysterious person. Nala woke up earlier than usual and waited inside the café.

At around 5 in the morning, she saw a shadow slowly approaching the café. As it was placing the pouch in front of the café, Nala opened the door. She was terrified to see a ninja - a real life ninja in the modern times.

Startled the ninja quickly jumped away, but not until after Nala captured his photo on her cell phone.

Nala wondered who he was, all day long. She wanted to apologise to him for startling him and taking his picture without his permission. She also wants to ask him why he was doing what he was doing.

That afternoon, she checked her phone and looked at the picture she had taken. She was hoping to uncover something about the mysterious ninja.

"So that's why you wouldn't notice me. You're interested in Kei."

Nala dropped her phone and Jéan-senpai caught it for her. "Opps. That was dangerous. I'm sorry."

"You know him?" Nala pointed at the picture.

Jéan-senpai nodded. "He's my classmate. His name is Kei. Like Souh, it seems like he's taking his family's heritage quite seriously." He let out a snicker. "Seriously though Nala? You avoided me last time and here I'm seeing that you're interested in Kei. You like mysterious men, don't you?"

"It's not it." Nala said defensively. "I took this photo earlier when I saw someone suspicious outside the café."

Jéan-senpai suddenly looked serious. "He may be mysterious, but he's not suspicious. Well, my classmates are weird, wearing costumes and all, but none of them are bad."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way." Nala bowed.

Jéan-senpai laughed. "I know. I know. That's okay. Enough of that, can you make a cappuccino frappe?"

Nala gladly obliged as she thought of Kei-senpai. He has spiky black hair and wears a black ninja outfit, with a black mask covering his mouth. He seemed mysterious, but he hadn't done anything to harm Nala nor Aunt Josie. In fact, he had been giving her coins and gems. 'He might be weird and mysterious, but he must be nice.' she thought. 'I'll apologize to him when I see him again.'
