"And what might that favor be?" Tsuchigomori asked with a bored face putting down the paper he had just finished grading.

"Well, ah- I really don't want to bother you with this but could I visit your boundary to read about some people, I'm only going to look at the timeframe around.. ...the incident." Kobito said fidgeting with his hands.

"And what made you want to see how it went down after this long?" Tsuchigomori asked fixing his glasses turning to get a full view of Kobito.

"I had an.. ...encounter... ..with two students and the one I believe caused the incident. He claimed that his brother was probably the guilty one." Kobito murmured. "I swear that I'll only read what I have too!"

Tsuchigomori let out a sigh as he stood up from his seat and walked past Kobito towards the door. "Come on then, I'll get the details once we're in the book stacks."

"So what are the names of the humans in the encounter?"

"The first one was a third year in the middle school devision, his name is Kou Minamoto I think, the second one I never caught their name but it's a girl with long hair and looks like she's probably a first year in the high school devision from the way she acts."

"Kou Minamoto.. Oh yeah, I'm his homeroom teacher, I need to tell him to stop going into the girls bathroom at some point in the next few days before something bad happens, the girl is probably this girl he made friends with recently from the high school devision." Tsuchigomori said writing down Kou's name for Kobito to know how it's spelt along with the potential name for the girl he was with. "And the name of your suspect?"

"Ah- well, he said his name was Hanako-Kun, the seventh school mystery."

"Oh really? Honorable number seven huh? I'll get his book along with his brothers book while you get the books for these two." Tsuchigomori said referencing the names he wrote down on a paper earlier.

"This book is number sevens book and this one is his brothers book, I got your book on the way back since there are some personal details you probably want to touch up on. I know you'd never try to read any future entries in my absence, let alone at all in general."

Kobito silently nodded muttering a thank you to the fifth school mystery as he opened up the book about Kou, flipping to the page about his encounter with him from a day or two ago.

"I'll be back at my classroom if something happens you know where to find me." Tsuchigomori sensei said turning away from Kobito without a second thought and started to walk away.

After looking through Kou's record along with the girl Kobito has now known was named Yashiro, he took Yashiro's book back to the proper place on the shelf and took the books on Hanako and his brother along with his own to another place so he could read in another more comfortable area, abandoning Kou's book temporarily because all that he needed to read had been finished, only past incidents needing to be read for the fun of it.
