FUYUUMI’S POV

***

“…and that my friends, is the reason why a lot of people go to Gendou Island during the first week of summer.” Kanazawa-senpai finishes his story with a bite from a cake. I applaud and smile.

“That was a beautiful myth.” I reckon and Shimizu-kun nods slowly in agreement.

“Beautiful.” He says, in that mesmerizing lovely voice of his. Shimizu-kun looks like an angel with his soft curls and calm eyes.

“Well maybe beautiful isn’t really the word for it.” Kanazawa-senpai stretches. “Where the heck are those boys?! I’m getting hungry!” Kanazawa-senpai claps her hands and a waiter appears beside him.

“What is it sir?” He asks and Kanazawa-senpai chuckles.

“We’re from Seisou Gakuen.” He shows a yellow id and the waiter gives a bow. Kanazawa-senpai smiles and the waiter appears with a tray full of sweets. The waiter scuttles away and Kanazawa-senpai forks it to his mouth. “Help yourself with the cake. We’ve got one more day before we get to Gendou Island. Unless you want the spirit of Keima or Yui to possess you, I suggest you eat.”

I smile and help myself to some cake. Possessed by the spirit of Yui… lucky.

KAHOKO’S POV

***

“Kanazawa! This is so unfair! You ate without us!” Hihara-senpai cries up ahead and I gingerly smile as I enter the room, knees trembling from all the running.

“You alright, Hino?” I look up and see Tsuchiura-kun look at me with a shade of concern.

Fit as a violin.” I kid and he chuckles.

“I think it’s fit as a fiddle.He smiles then we both hear a soft hem-hem from the back.

“Would you stop blocking the door?” I step away and see Tsukimori-kun brush past us swiftly. Tsuchiura-kun grunts and makes way.

“Someday, I’m going to really even the scores with that guy…” Tsuchiura-kun grinds his teeth and I smile. It’s nice to be in the same familiar atmosphere.

“Yo Hino! I’ve got to say, I was thinking you’d be soaking wet by now. How’d these guys fish you out?” Kanazawa-senpai jokes and I raise my brow. Soaking wet?! What on earth did he mean by –

“WelchwefouncheratthedechwherechYunokiwach –“ Hihara-senpai clumsily replies between bites of food and I laugh heartily as I approach the table.

“Eat or talk Hihara-senpai, choose only one.” Tsuchiura-kun sighs and Hihara-senpai gulps it all in and proceeds to explain how they found me.

“Oh… And I thought it’d be more dramatic.” Kanazawa-senpai gets up and lights a cigarette. “While I go finish my cigarette, you guys eat to your fill and have fun. Get some sleep at your own schedule but I want to meet you guys at the lobby exactly by 9am tomorrow, got it Hino?” He eyes at me and I jolt as he mentions my name.

“Hai…Gomen nasai Kanazawa-senpai.” I apologize and he just pats my head and leave.

“I’ll leave you incharge Yunoki. Night!” He waves and exits the room.
