3rd Person's POV
After a week of Yume staying with her uncle, she finally returned to Venus Ark.

"Yume, how are you doing at Venus Ark?" Her uncle asked which is on the phone.

"Fine. But...." she stopped.

"But, what?" Her uncle asked.

"But, Elza-sama seemed to be a bit bothered." She replied, "She is always in her office and never comes out at all. Also, Miss Lilac oftenly comes here to meet with Elza-sama." She added.

She heard her uncle sighed, "I'm pretty sure it is just about why Ryuji kidnapped you." He said.

"Ryuji has been in jail for a week?" She said.

"Yume, I don't want you to listen to other people's conversation, did I make myself clear?" Her uncle said.

"Yes." She responded and hung up.

At her uncle's condo....
"She is getting suspicious." Hikaru mumbled to himself.

He held a picture frame of Yume with her parents, adopted parents.

He sighed, "It's  too early for her to know." he said.

(Flashback)
"What brings you here?" Hikaru asked Elza as soon as Yume and her friends left.

"To tell you that it's not my fault if Yume's mom is--" She was interrupted.

"Enough! I know my mistake." He said.

Elza smiled, "Do you wish to know if she is Yume's twin, and she is Yume's mom?" she asked.

"You mean, have a DNA test?" He responded.

She nod her head.

"Fine."

(End of Flashback)

Someone then knocked on the door.

He opened the door only to see Hime.

"Greetings!" she greeted.

Hikaru narrowed his eyes, "Is your mother here?" he asked.

"Mom? She is not, but she said she will follow me here later." Hime replied.

He let her in as he closed the door and prepared some snacks for Hime.

While Hikaru is preparing snacks, he closed his eyes, remembering what happened at the past.

(Flashback)
"It was quite surprising, dear cousin." a girl with rosy pink and ombre lilac hair said with an amusing tone.

"Wh-what are talking about?" another girl asked. She has curly rosy pink and lilac hair, tied up into a ponytail.

"Right after her death, you found yourself a boyfriend." The girl with ombre hair replied while holding her water jug.

"What's happening here?" The young Hikaru interrupted their conversation.

Yet the two girls ignored him.

"You flirty witch!" The girl holding the water jug and spilled the water from the jug to the other girl.

"What?! But--" the girl who was soaked said.

The young Hikaru stood infront of the soaked girl, "What's the meaning of this?" he asked.

"Mind telling me what is going on?" the soaked girl whispered to him.

(End of Flashback)

"Excuse me?" Hime called.

"Forgive me, I am just thinking of something." He replied.

"Elza-san invited me to join Venus Ark." She said.

"Then why not accept her offer?" He suggested.

"I want to, but it's Yume Nijino." She responded.

He sighed, "Fine by me."

"Maybe I won't. Besides, there might be a catastrophe once I entered." She said, "Right, Father?" She added and emphasized the word father.

Someone then knocked on the door, as the person entered.

A lady with a long rosy pink hair and ombre lilac came in. Her bright red orange eyes scanned the room and landed on Hikaru and Hime. "Hello." she greeted.

"Mom...." Hime mumbled.
