"Isn't it about time for us to leave?"

The voice of a young maiden resonated through the empty office. He looked up from the pile of papers he was organizing. As he did so, a gentle smile graced his lips.

"Indeed..." he said and stood up from the vice president seat. He swiftly organized the pile he was working on and left them on the edge of his table. The girl walked out of the room without waiting for him, knowing he was close behind.

"Ah. Wait." he said and went back in to grab something. She waited for him as she leaned on the wall. After a bit of waiting, he came back holding an umbrella. "It's raining outside." he muttered. "Don't you have an umbrella, Mizuki?"

The petite yet tall girl shook hed head. "I forgot mine..." she mumbled.

"I suppose we'll just share one, then." he smiled at her. She returned the gesture and walked ahead.

"We better hurry, though, Teru. It'll soon be dark outside."

The two of them walked to the Minamoto household together. Shoulders brushing against each other, as they struggled to fit under one small umbrella.

Once they finally arrived at their destination, Mizuki noticed how Teru's one shoulder had gotten wet. She smiled and continued her way into her friend's home.

"Apologies for the intrusion..." she muttered.

"A-Aren't you K-Kuro Mizuki?" a kid gawked at the girl who accompanied his older brother. "Y-You really are her, aren't you?" his voice was shaky as he pointed at her with wide eyes.

"Good evening. And yes, I am her. I believe you're Teru's little brother... Minamoto Kou, correct?" she monotonously asked as the boy nodded with a blush.

"We're here to work on a group project. So, please do distract Tiara for me, Kou, will you?" Teru asked his little brother. The younger one nodded vigorously and disappeared to the living room. "This way." he led the way to his room.

"Ah. It's normal." she deadpanned with a straight voice. Her classmate only sweatdropped at her straightforwardness.

"What were you expecting...?" he mumbled. She blinked at him a few times before looking away.

"Something ominous..." she replied as Teru looked like he had taken a blow to the heart.

"A-Anyways... Let's do the science project..." she cleared her throat and they continued their small project. About ten minutes into the work, the room was silent until Mizuki spoke up again.

"...you know... exorcists are lame."
