It's almost a month since Setsuna is working at the café bar that recommended by Samatoki. However, she not only become the pianists but as well as a waitress when they short off the staff.

The bell of the café rings, immediately, draws the girl attention. She rushes to the door to greet the customer only to find an unexpected customers.

"J-Jyuto-san, and ...Riou??" Setsuna speechless to see two familiar men entered the café bar.

"Yo! Homura!" greet Jyuto in his work suit, while give a simple wave that's looks like a salute to her.

"Afternoon, Setsuna" greet Riou, bow down a bit.

She can imagine to see Jyuto entered the café, but Riou? What's makes him to out along the way from his forest?

"O-oh, welcome! How many person?" panics Setsuna as she immediately switch into her waitress mode.

"Two," replied Jyuto as he flashes his smiles. She leaded a way to their seat, took the order from them and serve their drinks.

Suddenly, she signalled by the owner to come closer to him. "There is a piano request from the customers at the table 3" whispers the owner. She glances at the table 3 as she seen Jyuto and Riou. She chuckles, "I knew it"

Setsuna gladly to play piano for the customers in the café. She picks her favorite piece of music to performs. During first time she assigned the position, she did felt awkward to play it especially in public but thanks to the member of the bands that willing to teaches her and boast her confident. Now, she rather feels excited to perform.

Once she finished plays her piano, a round of applauses echo through out the café. She stands up and bow down to her audiences. A minutes later, Samatoki entered the café.

"Ah!!" he shocked, when saw Jyuto and Riou inside the café, have their meals.

"What the hell?! Jyuto, why are you here?!" Samatoki rushes towards their table.

"My, my, what a timing?" chuckles Jyuto to see Samatoki entered the café. Samatoki raises his brows, "I thought you said you won't come to this café?"

"I said, I won't come to the café as a babysitter, I never said I won't come as the customers," sneers Jyuto at the mid 20s man that stands next to his table.

Well, Jyuto and Samatoki does quarrel regarding the issue of looking after her and Jyuto said he protested and won't step into the café due to that. That is why Setsuna surprised to saw him just now.

Samatoki gazed at Riou, who eating his cake, "And why you are here, Riou?" ask Samatoki. Riou looks at Samatoki.

"Jyuto invited me, he said Setsuna will play the piano if we request" replied the light brown-haired. Samatoki glances at Setsuna that stands not far from them.

"I want to order" said Samatoki to Setsuna, while signal Jyuto to move aside and give him a space for him to sit.

"Y-yes" replied Setsuna, approached their table and took the order. A few minutes later, she come back to the table to served Samatoki's order.

"Homura, when your shift will be over?" asked Jyuto. Samatoki glances at Jyuto, curious.

"Umm, there still an hour" Setsuna look at the clock in the café.

"Ok, we'll wait then, I wanna bring you somewhere," said the late 20 years old man, leaned his back at the cushion's chair. Setsuna actually curious but she just nodded her head before leave.

Samatoki look at the cop next to him, "Where do you want to bring her?" asked him, while hug himself. The glasses man just smiles. "Secret"

Samatoki look at Jyuto, suspiciously, "I'm coming then!" decided the yakuza. Jyuto just chuckles look at the silver-haired man.

As soon as Setsuna ended her shift, she followed the three men to Jyuto's car. Of course, Jyuto is the one who drive, Samatoki sits at the passengers seat next to him while, Riou and Setsuna sits at the backseats.

"Oh, please hold this for me" the police shoved the bouquet of flowers to Setsuna. Now, Samatoki more curious where are they going to heading to.

"Nah, Jyuto, where actually you wanna bring us?" asked Samatoki.

"You'll know it, eventually" his answer only makes the yakuza snapped instead of feel relief.

"It's not funny, stop playing around! Just spit it--" the man yanked the police's collar. Immediately, Setsuna step in to stop his action from making more fuss in front of the café. The silver-haired man click his tongue and went silent along the trip.

Apparently, the trip not a short trip as their expectation. Those three totally clueless where are they heading to, since, Jyuto drive them into the sub urbans in Yokohama Division.

Their question marks finally answered once Jyuto drive into a shrine at the quite isolated village and parked his car. They get out from the car, brought along the bouquet and they looks around the shrine. Honestly, they still curious why Jyuto leaded them to the place.

At first, they assumed that Jyuto want to go pray at the shrine, but seems like their guess is wrong. The police officer went into the graveyard next to the shrine. They passed by the number of row of tombstones until...

"We're here" he stopped before he turn his body to face to one of tombstone. Three of them gazed to each other before turn their head to look who's grave Jyuto is visiting.

All of them speechless when saw the surname craved on the tombstone, it's written 'Honami'. On the same tombstone, three names written on it; Gaku, Honoka and Chiaki.

"This--" mutters Setsuna.

"Your family's graveyard" said Jyuto. Setsuna looks at Jyuto's facial, she still in shock.

"B-but how?!" Setsuna furrows her brows. She know how expensive to held the funeral and the grave rent...are not cheap.

"I dig about your family background and find out your family has insurances, so, I claimed those insurances for this..." explained Jyuto.

"Aah, that's why you asking me to sign all those papers last time?" ask Samatoki, recalled that Jyuto once asked him to sign a number of papers. Since Samatoki now officially as Setsuna's guardian, so, he has the power to give consents to any agreement related to Setsuna.

Jyuto sighs. "Good grief, did you just signed them without read the agreement?"

"Don't bother" replied Samatoki. Luckily, Jyuto had read it in advance.

Jyuto squat down in front of the tombstone as his gloved hand tap on the container that placed at the grave. "Inside of this container is your brother's ashes... I'm sorry, that I can't reaches to get your parents body, but I able to retrieved your brother's"

"I'm sorry for didn't called you during your brother's funeral...I afraid you unable to watch his conditions..." She shakes her head. "No, this is more than enough. Thanks, Jyuto-san" a smiles craved on her face.

Riou hand out the bouquet of flower to Setsuna. She received the bouquet and place it in front the tombstone. She claps her palm together and prayed.

"Someday, we'll meet again...nii-chan"

Setsuna stands up, then she recalled something. "Oh right!" as she rummaged her skirt's pocket and take out something. It's a set of blue colour amulets, it's three of them. She hand out the amulets to those three men. They confuses with her gestures.

"I made this...as a good luck for your division battle soon, hope you receive this" said Setsuna. They looks at each other and smiles, before pick one for each of them.

"Thanks"

"Setsuna"
