Shima was following the mushroom haired to the library. Eve had asked him to come with him there after school.

"So why am I here again?" Shima asked as the mushroom haired smiled.

"The king and queen wanted to talk to you."

"But why just me?" Shima questioned, still confused at why they didn't say the others could come along.

"Well you're the prince of the human world, plus originally the king and queen said that your parents were suppose to come but they're busy at the moment so the king and queen told me to have you come for them."

"Geez, thanks mom and dad." Shima muttered to himself as he sighed. Why do I have to do their work?

"Any idea what it's about?"

"I actually have no idea, they didn't tell me." Eve gave the male an apologetic smile.

"It's fine."

The two arrived at the library, just as before the mushroom haired summoned the portal once there weren't that many students around. The two entered the portal, back in the forest they had been to before.

Shima was still amazed at how Outworld looked like. They walked down the path before Eve pulled the male into the abandoned house nearby.

"Eh?" Shima then felt a cloak wrap around him, "I get why Senra and the other two need it but why am I wearing a cloak?"

"The king and queen said that it was better for you to wear it," Eve then paused as he wondered whether he should tell him, "it's just that....I guess you can say that something might've happened."

"Something happened?" The purple-haired repeated as he became curious.

"The king and queen were discussing things with the other kingdoms that were to be kept a secret until the princes' situation calmed down, but it seems like things might've gotten worse."

"Eh?"

"Someone from the meeting must've leaked the info to those that are after them, and now the king and queen are cautious about having people see any of you guys." Eve said as he wrapped the cloak around himself.

"So we're all kind of in danger now?"

The purple-haired was ready to turn back and go home. Why did my parents think it was a good idea for me to come here?!?

".......yes....." Eve hesitantly stated as he nervously smiled.

"How great....."

"I can see that your worried but, I'm sure we'll be fine, just like how the king and queen had the princes wiped out of everyone's memory, they also wiped out you being the prince of the human world. This is just to be safe, in case someone happens to recognize you."

"I'm going to be honest, I don't know whether that reassures me or not." Shima stated as the mushroom haired nervously laughed.

"Yeah, well let's go. The quicker we get there, the quicker we leave."

The two headed to the castle. I'm starting to wish I wasn't a prince now. Shima sighed as he followed the mushroom haired.

The town seemed peaceful despite what the male had told him. Guess the people that are after them are laying low. The purple-haired then spotted someone, it was the same person he had seen the previous time they were here.

Shima grabbed the mushroom haired's arm and dragged him behind a stand. Eve was confused by the male's action but then spotted the person too.

The figure was looking around the area before sighing.

"Why am I the one doing this? Well, seems like they aren't bere." The person sighed again and began to walk away.

As they passed the two males, Shima heard them mutter something under their breath.

"Well, at least I did what I needed to do. Now it's just a matter of time."

The two males stayed silent until the figure was out of view. Eve then narrowed his eyes as he caught a glimpse at the person's hair. Wait, is.....I should probably tell them about it first before suspecting anything.

"Okay, can we just go back home and do this another day?" Shima asked, not wanting to have to deal with this.

The mushroom haired was about to say something until he saw a ball of fluff walk towards them.

"Hey, isn't that Masamune?" Eve pointed to the sheep-like creature that was approaching them.

"Oh yeah," Shima crouched down as he petted the creature, "what are you doing here?"

Masamune made a cheerful expression, they then noticed a small note that the creature was slightly nibbling on.

"Eh? You brought this for us?" Shima asked the sheep-like creature while Eve grabbed the note and read it. He then looked at Masamune and smiled.

"Thanks Masamune."

The sheep-like creature made a noise in delight and made its way back to the castle.

"What did the note say?" Shima asked the male, who turned to look at him.

"The king and queen said that we should leave. It seems like something suspicious is happening in the castle and they think it'd be best if we don't go."

"Great! Let's go."

Shima turned around with no hesitation and began to walk back to where they came from. Eve just let out a small laugh as he followed the male.

"So we basically came here for nothing."

"Seems that way."

The purple-haired sighed, he then spotted the shop that the blonde had been staring at the other day. He saw that the ring was no longer on display. Guess someone else bought it.

The two made their way back to the forest, Eve summoned the portal and they were soon back at the school.

"Oh, hey guys."

The two males jumped at the voice before realizing that it was just the brown-haired male. The pink haired female was also with him.

"Eh? What are you two doing together?" Shima asked as the brown-haired male spoke.

"I was just heading to the store to buy something." Sou said as he smiled at them.

"I just happened to bump into him while I was walking out of the school gates."

"Hana said that if I wanted she can go with me." Sou stated as the pink haired female nervously laughed.

"I was going to get something tomorrow but since Sou said that he was going now I decided I might as well go."

"I can go with you Sou." Eve suggested, the brown-haired male immediately perked up after hearing those words.

"Okay thanks!"

Sou linked his arm with the mushroom haired, a bright smile on his face. Eve just laughed at the male's action.

"How cute~" Shima teased, chuckling at their embarrassed faces. Hana just giggled at their expressions before noticing that the mushroom haired seemed a bit worried.

"Are you okay Eve?"

"Yeah, there's actually something I need to tell you, Nqrse and Yuuto tomorrow."

A concerned expression soon form on the pink haired female's face. She just nodded her head.

"Well, bye guys." The mushroom haired said as he walked away with the brown-haired male.

The purple-haired waved goodbye and turned to look at the pink haired female.

"So how did the visit go?" Hana asked, becoming even more confused once she saw the male's expression.

"We didn't get to go to the castle because of things happening."

The female frowned a bit, I guess that's what Eve wants to tell us tomorrow. She then sighed in relief, she did find the whole situation a bit suspicious once Eve told her about the king and queen calling them.

"At least you guys left before things could've gotten even worse."

"Also, why did my parents make me go when they should probably know what's going on?" Shima asked the female, confusion and disbelief was in his voice.

"They were busy today because the meeting was out of nowhere, don't worry I doubt you'd have to go the next time."

Shima just sighed while Hana pondered about something. The king and queen usually tell us ahead of time for things like this so we can all go. So why was is out of nowhere? She frowned again, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Well we should probably go home." Shima said as he began to walk away, Hana following behind.

"So you're one-sided love is finally gone." Hana gave the male a teasing smirk.

"Shut up."

The purple-haired then spotted the light-purpled haired female up ahead. Riku also happened to be with her.

Shima didn't know whether to call out to them and say hi or just ignore them. He was debating about it until he heard the light-purpled haired female mutter something.

"I can't believe you actually gave up on that blondie," Maya beamed at the indigo-haired male, "well, does that mean that I have a chance?"

"As if." Riku mumbled as he crossed his arms.

The light-purpled haired female just pouted. She noticed the purple-haired and pink haired female nearby.

"Oh, it's you. I thought you already left with your friends." Maya then gave him a small smirk, "so you got the blondie to love you. And you didn't need my help."

Shima just rolled his eyes while Maya looked at the pink haired female.

"Oh....you're that–....." Maya began to say before shaking her head, "never mind I mistook you for someone else. I'm Maya, nice to meet you."

"I'm Hana," the pink haired female bowed towards the other female.

"Secretly cheating on your new boyfriend, how cruel." Maya jokingly teased as the purple-haired let out an annoyed sigh.

"Cut it out."

"I'm surprised you're just leaving the school," Riku said, "I figured you'd be with Senra."

"I happened to have to do some things." Shima lied as he grinned at the male.

Hana then saw something in the indigo-haired male's hand. She stared at it in curiosity, it looks like a ring.

"What's that in your hand?" She asked the male, who looked at his hand to see what the pink haired female meant.

"Why should he tell you?" Maya questioned, her tone sounded defensive.

The pink haired female rose her eyebrow at the female. Maya was glaring at her with an annoyed look.

"Why are you suddenly defensive about it?"

"Because you seem kinda noisy, wanting to stick your nose in other's business. Kinda like that brat."

"Hey! Don't relate me to Yuuto, he's already annoying to deal with."

Riku and Shima just watched the two banter back and forth. The indigo-haired male just let out an irritated sigh while Shima nervously laughed.

"Why do you even want to know?" The purple-haired asked the pink haired female.

"Eh? Oh, it just looked familiar to me. I guess I did seem a bit pushy about it, I'm sorry." Hana sheepishly bowed her head, the light-purpled haired female crossed her arms.

"Well if you want to know so badly then I'll tell you. It's nothing that special just something that I gave him."

Hana just nodded her head as the light-purpled haired female sighed.

"Well now you know. I'm going home now, bye." Maya walked past the two, Shima was still confused by the sudden exchange.

"She seems to hate you." Shima said as the pink haired female confusingly nodded her head.

"Don't know why though."

"Hey Riku do you know?" Shima asked the male, who just nonchalantly shrugged.

"I can never tell what's going on in her mind, neither do I really care."

"You sure seem harsh to your own fiancée." Hana pointed out as the indigo-haired male glared at her.

"She's not my fiancée."

"Oh right."

Riku then looked at the purple-haired before sighing, "here Shima."

The mentioned male tilted his head before quickly reacting to catch the ring that the indigo-haired male had throw at him.

"Eh?"

"You can have it, I don't need it." Riku then began to walk away from them.

"Eh? But didn't Maya give it to you? Wouldn't it hurt her feelings to just give it away?" Hana asked the male, who just waved his hand.

"She only gave it to me to annoy me, she said that she didn't really care about what I do to it. You can keep it Shima, maybe give it to Senra while you're at it."

The purple-haired blushed at the statement.

"O-Oi!"

Shima just heard the male chuckle in response. The two just watched the indigo-haired male fade in the distance.

"He's still the same stoic person we befriended back then," Hana said as she smiled, a teasing smirk soon appeared on her face, "well now you can propose to Senra with that ring."

"Shut up...."

The pink haired female giggled as she smiled at the male.

"Well, at least things are going good for you. You don't know how much I hated seeing you complain about how Senra probably didn't like you."

The purple-haired just crossed his arms as he sulked, the two then parted their ways. Shima looked at the ring that the indigo-haired male had given him. It had a rose-shaped ruby on it and was painted in a golden color.

He blushed once the male's words popped into his head again. He put the ring in his pocket and tried to calm down the heat on his cheeks. He then chuckled to himself as a thought crossed his mind, embarrassed at it. Who knows, maybe I might.
