Barrier Alice | ✔

[52]

1 week later

It was the day after Inchou returned from his vacation. As expected, he did lose his Alice. And was held in the hospital for a checkup. Everyone was in a frenzy- confused and scared. Though, Amy remains calm throughout the event. She decided to follow through with her plan by remaining impassive at this time.

Afterwards, much later that day, Inchou was finally released from the checkup- and was told his loss Alice was not permanent. Though there were some of their classmates being childish- staying away from Inchou, calling him names and afraid that it will be infectious. But, after some explanation, and a but of reprimand from Sumire, they finally understand and apologize to Inchou for being mean at him.

However, undoubtedly, due to suddenly losing his Alice, Inchou still feels down. Upon Mikan's suggestion, they agreed to have a picnic together after class tomorrow. Amy, feeling excited. volunteer to prepare bento for them...

...only to be shot down by others- saying that it will be better if she not.

Amy just pout the rest of the day, and only feeling better after Sophie's request for her to prepare bento- it's only for one person of course...

It was all fun- and Amy just went along with the flow, because this is, after all, a calm before storm...

At least, let there be happy memories before then.

Later that night, she just drops by at Hotaru's room and gives her a message. she said,

"Hotaru, tomorrow or sometime this week, something big will happen. There's a possibility there will be a break in occurred- though it is not 100% sure"

Hotaru, a bit shocked, asked "Break-in? Who?"

She just replied nonchalantly "It will be Z. Due to the spur of many Alice loss, the academy will aggressively pursue them. There's a possibility they will break in here"

"Are you sure? And you don't want to investigate? I thought you of all people will be interested..."

"Probably... And no, I wanted to avoid them. We have other things to prioritize- and that's good, the fact that they persistently antagonizing the academy- especially ESP, meaning he will be careless around us. He will forget about us for now- and focus on Z more. That way we can operate more smoothly... Anyway, my instruction is, make sure to prepare the emergency pouch number 3 with you at all time. And don't chase them- no matter what. This includes you, Sophie. I know you're hiding behind the door." she said, addressing her sister who was hiding. Then, Sophie walked out and just chuckled, embarrassed that she was caught.

"Oops, hehe sorry Amy-nee. We were just working on something"

"Sigh... it's fine. Both of you, don't stay up too late. And remember my warning, understood?"

"Hai~" they both replied. Satisfied, Amy then leaves the corridor where Hotaru's room located and went straight to bed. Hopefully, everything will be fine...

The next day...

Amy just smiles while looking at the bento box she has prepared for our picnic this evening.

I can't wait to see their reaction when they taste my cooking. Then, I can say proudly now I'm a good cook!

Although I'm already a great cook - Amy just grinned to herself.
