Part 1

"Hi everyone!~"

Aya-chan says going inside the room and finding a place to sit with all the others

"So, Tatseyo, Mayumi said you had something to tell us?"

"Y-yes, I do"

I sit myself across from Liliana, there are chairs for each of us in her office room and no table between us. It only makes me realize even more how big this place is, for everyone to be able to sit across from each other like this and still have plenty of room left.

"What is it, Tatseyo? You look a little nervous, actually..."

Liliana then glances over at Mayumi, whose usual kind smile had given place to an uneasy look of concern

"You too Mayumi, what happened?"

"Yeah, it looks like your breakfast is about to come out of the other way"

Diz says looking concerned at her friend

Mayumi simply closes her eyes and answers politely

"I believe Tatseyo is the one who should explain this..."

All the eyes in the room turn to me at her remark

"Is something wrong, Tatseyo-san?"

Aya-chan asks and although her voice makes me want to assure that everything is fine, I hold back and shake my head

"Actually, no... it's about Ayumu's coming"

A look of concern emerges on Liliana's face when Ayumu's name comes up

"Did something happened to her?"

I shake my head fiercely

"No, no, nothing like that, but... I do have something to say that I was..."

"You were?"

Liliana inquires me to go on

"Well, I was hiding from all of you..."

A moment of silence takes over the room when I say this

"Tatseyo-san?" - Aya asks

"......" - Manaki keeps looking at me, her face like an iron mask

"W-what the fuck?" - Diz expression however, changes completely taken over by surprise and Galard stroke his beard with an intrigued expression

"Well boy, you managed to build quite the suspense, tell us already then"

Liliana nods at Galards words and instead of giving me a curious look, she stares at me seriously

"Tatseyo... what happened?"

"Well..."

I take a deep breath and tell them, the truth I've been hiding from them ever since I decided to have Ayumu with us

At the end of the explanation, several pairs of bewildered eyes and nervous expressions are staring at me

"Tatseyo-san!"

Aya-chan says with tears starting to form in her eyes

"You did what?!"

Diz stands from her chair angrily glaring at me

"Calm down everyone!"

All the others in the room turn from me to Liliana as she calls for order

"Tatseyo, is that the truth?"

She says after a brief sigh and my initial answer is a mere nod
