8:40 PM after the cookout.

Stellino started cleaning the backyard of stray plastic cups anfd paper plates. Daichi and Suga offered to help him and he told them to just stack the chairs up and put them aside so he can take it back inside later. Zephyrus and Eurus cleaned the grill and washed the utensils. Hinata's mom had offered them help but Guthrei stopped her and advised her to just relax. Pushing her inside the living room and he told her to watch TV instead. Tanaka, Asahi, Nishinoya, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi were inside the living room, fighting back their tired yawns. They looked up when the shoji door opened to see Guthrei shove Hinata's mom inside gently, closing the door with a soft thud.

Hinata's mom clapped her hands at the sight of them. "Did you guys have fun? Are your stomachs filled? Was the food to your liking?" she asked happily, gliding across the living room floor so she could sit near them. Asahi moved over so she could sit, Noya just went and sat on the floor between Asahi's legs, looking up at Hinata's mother with a smile.

"The food was awesome Mrs. Hinata!" Tanaka answered her truthfully. "But that thing with the black figure earlier..." he looked over his teammates, asking for backup.

"Yeah, we were kind of.. shocked by it. We're still shocked, actually." Yamaguchi said between Tsukishima and Tanaka. He then smiled shyly at Hinata's mom, unsure of what to do or say next. Tsukki gave a curt nod.

Hinata's mom smiled apologetically at them. "I'm sorry you had to witness that. Shouyou's father said there'd be no problems if we stayed here.." she added thoughtfully, placing her chin between her thumb and forefinger.

Indeed, her husband promised that their stay in Japan would be peaceful. No problems whatsoever. But the scene earlier made her doubt that. They had found Shouyou. The protective enchantment on him must have been weakening steadily over the years.

"The last part of his message got me though. What did he mean when he said he wanted Shouyou?" Nishinoya asked from where he was sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Hinata's mother sighed. "I'm not sure if I have the right to talk about this.. but.." she started telling them the small details.

10 years ago, when Shouyou was 6, they were in a middle of a noble revolt and the Tygo had targeted the little prince. Kurahi didn't want Shouyou to witness all of the negative things that was happening throughout his kingdom so Shouyou's father sent them to his mother's homeland, which was Japan, and settled them there for the time being. His father had casted a protective charm on his son and wife so they won't be detected. They were to live far away from Stygian. Away and Safe from Tygo's grasp.

"Whoa.." Asahi breathed. He looked over at his teammates and they had the same look as Asahi's awe-stricken one. Except Tsukishima who was blinking rapidly as if he still can't believe what was happening.

"But why would they want Shouyou though?" Noya asked again, content on getting a solid answer from the worried mother.

"Uhm.. I believe that question is.. kind of serious and the answer is a secret..?" Hinata's mother helplessly shrugged her shoulders. "The only one who can answer your question is either Shouyou or his Father. I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to answer that.." she smiled apologetically.

"He's a normal prince, right?" Tanaka said suddenly, earning a slight wince from Hinata's mom.

"What do you mean 'normal'?" Nishinoya looked back at Tanaka, who was on the verge of his seat, eyes wide, begging for real answers.
