Evangeline Mech:

"The bats go above the door, the pumkins will be beside the tables, the moon is on the upper corner, the ghosts will be hanged from the ceiling and orange streamers will be on the walls." The class president said, giving us all orders. Then she turned to me. "Eva, you help me cover the windows with black paper."

I nodded. "Alright."

Everyone set out to work. I grabbed the tape and scissors while she grabbed the papers. It took a while, but by 6 pm, everything is ready for tomorrow.

"Alright. Good work everyone. Be sure to be at class by 8 am. We'll have a briefing about how the event will go and assign the shifts then. Dismissed."

I dragged myself downstairs and found Kirito waiting at the gates. I approached him. "Did Niara get detention again?"

"Yep." He groaned. "I'd ditch her but she'll nag me if I do."

"The others?"

"Olivia went to do errands, Gouda and Sendou are probably battling at the park as we speak and Jin is over there looking half dead." He pointed to a figure walking over to us.

When he reached us, he sighed. "I'm glad the preparations are over. I'll at least have a three-week break before starting to plan the next event."

"Oh. In that case, I'll head home first and make dinner." I said. "That way, when you guys get home, you could just eat and rest."

"You sure?" Jin asked.

"Yeah. Yuuya is probably home by now anyway." I turned to the gates. "You guys just wait for Niara, then pick up Gouda and Sendou and head back, kay?"

"I'm not against it." Kirito said shrugging. Jin nodded in approval.

"Alright, see you back home." I left and walked home.

When I was far enough from the school, I sighed. Alright. So what should be for dinner tonight?

Takoyaki. He responded.

We had that last night.

Saba?

Kirito doesn't really like them.

Grilled salmon?

Why do you like seafood so much?

Why did you ask me for suggestions?

. . . Grilled salmon it is. I shook my head. I don't think I'll get used to you being there.

All will come in due time, sister.

I chuckled. I supposed so. Though I never thought this is how you'll come back.

Flashback Sequence~

"I want you to get me out of here." He said.

I sighed. "Yes. I actually expected you to say that."

"Of course. Everyone wants their freedom." He said in the matter-of-fact tone.

I frowned. "But I can't just break you out of the lab. There's the law and the fact that I have no idea where you are."

"Sister, my body is something you could get your hands on easily. There are many copies after all." He said. "But I only have one mind and you are looking right at it."

I nodded, but then gave a chuckle. "I guess what the professor said will come true after all. You will end up possessing me."

"That wouldn't be the term I'd use." He replied. "While I stay in your conciousness, it will be at a lower level. You will still have 90% control over your body."

I raised my eyebrow. "90%?"

"Don't worry. I would never try to harm you in any way." He said, seemingly trying to reassure me. "I promise not to invoke any unpleasent memories as well."

I shook my head. "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried if I go for my monthly check up with the professor, she'll find out about the remaining 10%..."

"I suppose that does make me a virus." He stated. "Do you really have to go monthly though?"

I gave it some thought. "Well, she said that it's better that I do, but it's fine if I skip twice after one. I just go every month because I don't want to risk anything."

"So it's alright if you skip this month and the next?" He repeated.

"Should be." I replied. "But I'm not too sure."

"Just two months. It should be enough time to get a new body for me."

"A new one? You mean go to Omega Dain?"

"Precisely."

Flashback End~

I sighed. In the end, we couldn't go this month because we're so busy at school.

There's always the next one.

Yes, but the deadline is approaching. If we couldn't find the time to go to Omega Dain, we need to find another body for you to stay in. And I can't just give you my tablet, Niara uses it too!

Your LBX or CCM?

You'll cause interfierance.

Then... another LBX?

. . . what about Mizel O-Legion?

Well, I did not expect you to suggest that.

If your body survived Mizel Trouzer's explosion, then maybe your LBX survived as well!

I heard him taking a deep breath. Dear sister, there is little to no chance of that happening. The fact my body survived is by completely chance.

Then may the survival of Mizel O-Legion be by complete chance as well!

You're getting your hopes up too high... But if you do end up finding it, well... I may try to make copies of Set 50.

Here's the problem though... Where should I start looking?

Ever consider the lab?

You're getting really good with sarcastic remarks, aren't you?

If I could, I would thank your best friend.

Hm... The lab has high security. And if I get caught by the professor, she'll probably ask me to get scanned.

You can cause a blackout.

Mizel! No! It'll be chaos if that happens!

It's a distraction.

Yes, but no!

You are too kind hearted, Eva.

...Let's just make dinner.

I arrived at the dorms and went in. "Hello? Yuuya, are you here?" No reply. "Hm, maybe he went to Hiro's place..?"

I placed my bag in my room and began making the grilled salmon. It didn't take long to finish. I left it on the table for it to cool.

Right then, Niara came bursting in. "I SMELL FISH."

"And I... am now deaf." Kirito said, coming in holding his right ear.

It was silent until Gouda's voice came from the living room. "Well I'm hungry!"

"Hi 'hungry', I'm-" Sendou was cut off.

"Don't you even try to finish that sentence." Niara said threateningly. "No dad jokes in my lobby."

"So he's not allowed to say it here, but you're allowed to say it in my room?" Kirito clapped his hands. "How nice." A plastic cup was thrown at him.

Dinner proceeded the way it always had. Jin told me that Yuuya is having a sleepoverat Hiro's place, so he won't come home tonight. I thought back to what Mizel and I discussed. The fact that there's a way to bring him back. I felt excited, yet hesitation still resides within me.

Should I really break in? Then, another idea came up to me. "Jin?"

He looked up. "Yeah?"

"Can I... Take small trip on the weekends?"
