Dawn's POV:

"Pretty lively when you're on your own??"

May and Drew were interrupted from their argument when we heard a familiar voice and saw Roark with Ash.

"Oh, I think they had another argument... This usually happen between them, Roark... May and Drew don't really get along well ever since they became part of this band... Hehe~" Ash whispered to Roark but we obviously heard him and so did May and Drew that Ash only grinned.

"So, have you guys figured it out?? I forgot to tell you that you only have until this family gathering is over to answer and open the treasure box.. I have set a timer to it and if time runs out, it will still secrete the melting liquid.." Roark told us and he smirked before he retreated and he only greeted some of the persons in the gathering.

"What????" Ash reacted after Roark has gone away and he was looking distressed when he sat down between May and Drew.

"We totally forgot about that~" And Drew brought out the treasure box from his bag and placed it on the table that we drew closer to him.

"Yosh~ Eleven letters, more than one word... What is it???" Ash spoke and he fidgeted his fingers under his chin in thought.

"Oh, great... We're back in this brain bugging matter~" May trailed off crossing her arms and legs.

"What is it that Roark meant when he said that it is something he will give?? Does it make sense if it is the music sheet?? Hey~" Ash spoke up and we eyed him and Drew kept his hands in his pockets before leaning his back on his seat.

"But to answer music sheet is just ten letters.. It might be more than one word but it is short on a letter... And will the music sheet even make the receiver happy??" Drew trailed off not likely convinced of Ash's suggestion that I mustered the courage to speak out my thoughts this time.

"Uhm~ And remember that Roark told us that we hold an unannounced future, right?? And that if we ruined it, it might be unable to be fixed, something like that~" I spoke out.

"And he said the exact words as 'remember that you can find more than one of it but the value and price can't be bought by any wealth or can't be replaced by anything... For what is put into it is the unseen value of that thing but priceless' something like that." May spoke out and Ash narrowed his gaze on her.

"May, you are surprisingly being good in memory today~" Ash commented but sounding a bit sarcastic that May only flicked his forehead again.

"I am not good at this stuffs, Ash, but that doesn't mean that I can easily forget what Roark said before.... You underestimate me too much, Ashy." May spoke and Ash didn't likely get pleased hearing that nickname again.

"The value and price can't be bought by any wealth or can't be replaced by anything~ And what is put into is the value and it is priceless... He might have meant something with that..." Drew now spoke up and Max was surprisingly all attentive listening on his seat.

"A music sheet...." Ash blurted out and I noticed how his hazelnut irises glinted after he spoke. "That's eleven letters now... And won't it make you happy if we really received the music sheet?? It makes sense, right??" He added and I noticed how Roark averted his gaze from our direction when I spotted him talking to Miss Cheryl and some of their relatives from a far distance.

"Hm.. Yes.. Now it makes eleven letters but-" And May quickly cut in Drew's statement. "Then let's crack this open!"

Drew grabbed hold of May's hands even before she managed to get a hold of the treasure box and told her not to rush to open it.
