Happy reading!

It was a gorgeous day outside. The sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. Birds were chirping, and children were outside and playing. The only one who was suspicious of anything wrong was a random turtle in the Light Music Club room, but hey, what did she know?

Neither Taro Yamada or Ayano Aishi noticed or cared about the weather. The former was sitting on the latter's couch. His dark bangs covered his eyes with a shadow. He was almost motionless, aside from steady breathing.

Ayano kept an eye on her beloved boyfriend. She smirked. He was just how she wanted him to be. After so much work, his strings were in her command. She had twice the power she had before.

Taro's phone began to ring.

"Who is it?" Ayano asked.

Taro, like a puppet, reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. The call was from his mother.

Her again? Ayano thought.

"Tell her you are staying with your girlfriend," Ayano told Taro. "Also, tell her not to call again."

Taro answered the phone, his voice nothing but a monotone. "Hello, Mom... yes. I am staying with my girlfriend ... No. Please don't call me again."

He hung up his phone, and returned to his blank position. Ayano counted the seconds on her fingers, before hearing the doorbell ring. She went to answer the door.

"Hi, Yan-chan!" Raibaru said, grinning.

"Hello, Raibaru," Ayano replied.

Raibaru pulled her 'friend' into a tight hug. "It's so good to see you again. Ugh, I still haven't gotten over the whole centipede thing. And, y'know..."

Ayano nodded, sympathetically. "Come inside. I would like to talk to you about something."

Raibaru followed Ayano inside, smiling. She gave Taro a strange look when she saw him sitting on the couch.

"Taro Yamada?" she asked. "What're you doing here?"

"He is my boyfriend, and a disciple of mine," Ayano replied. "Plus, if you haven't heard the news about his younger sister..."

"Oh, yeah," Raibaru frowned. She turned to Taro. "Oh, Yamada-san, I'm so sorry about your sister..."

Ayano touched her shoulder. "Let him grieve in peace. Please, take a seat. We've got a lot to discuss."

Soon, the trio of teenagers was sitting down, green tea in front of them.

"He's your disciple?" Raibaru asked Ayano, briefly glancing at Taro.

"He wants to become a hero," Ayano told her.

Raibaru nodded. "Ah, I see."

"Anyway, you are probably aware of the Monster Association," Ayano said, turning back to Raibaru.

Raibaru nodded. "Oh, yeah, I've heard all about them. They sound awful."

"The Hero Association is planning to send a group of heroes from all classes in to destroy it," Ayano explained. "However, they didn't contact me for help."

"Sounds like the Hero Association..." Raibaru muttered.

"Because of this, I've decided to go in of my own accord," Ayano said.
