Megami was back at school.

Heads turned, whispers as students wondered where she had been and she was back, but it was possible because someone had been arrested and died in the first two weeks.

~💌~

"Sakiou Megami."
Her club members bowed to her.
"Welcome back, Dear."
"Thank you: Let's begin the meeting.",

~💌~

Budo stood outside the Cooking Club, his heart sinking; Not enough members to continue the club.
"Masuta Budo?"
He turned to Sensei Kanokogi,"Sensei; I apologise I. . .", "No, it's alright. . . I miss her too.", Budo nods, both standing in silence, in respect for Amai.
"Sorry, but The Headmaster has called you to his office; He wishes to speak to you."
Budo's heart dropped, remembering he had seen him talking to The Founder Of Sakiou Corp.
"Uhm: Right away."
Budo walks towards his potential doom.

~💌~

The sound of the door made him look up.
Budo stood there, he smiled and pointed to the chair,"Please; I'd just like to have a quick conversation.", Budo sat down, nervous as he felt the tension and the heavy awkward silence was not helping, he could practically hear his heart beating.
"I just. . . Wanted to uh. . . About last week."
Budo gulped.
"I would, appreciate it if you. . . Forgot I was there, it was just a meeting with old friends. . . Is all."
Budo didn't believe it.
If it was just a meeting between old friends, why was he called up here and asked to forget about it?
Though. . .
"Ehm. . . Yeah, no worries; I figure you two were friends or, something. I won't say anything."
The Headmaster sighed with relief, seeming to relax as his knuckles were no longer white.
"Thank you, it's just being friends with such a figure, it's. . ."
"Yeah. . ."
Headmaster nods,"You are excused.", and Budo quickly left.

Talk about weird. . .
"Excuse him."
Budo jumped, Megami just appearing behind him,"It's business matters that aren't yours to worry about.", Budo nods,"Right. . . Uh. . . I thought??", Megami nods,"It took a lot of convincing for my father to allow to attend school.", she cleared her throat,"If you could follow me, we have a lot to discuss.", Budo followed, sparing a glance behind him back to The Headmaster's Office.

=💌=

"So, you want me to do some snooping?"
Megami nods,"I have an idea of what their next move is going to be.", Megami pulled out a leaflet, and it was. . . The Romeo & Juliet play that Sunobu Kizana was preparing with the rest of the club.
"The Play?"
"Mhm."
Megami put it down,"I know, it would be unfair to assume that Aishi is like her mother, blaming the sins of the parent on the child, however. . . We can't take chances.", Budo nods, though he had a lump in his throat as he worried this would result in another death or worse, someone going to jail.

=💌=

"Sunobu!"
She looked away from the mirror, Haruka Kokona smiling ear to ear with Aishi Ayano,"Yes, Haruka Darling?", "Yan-Chan wants to help out with the play, she's been helping me out during practicing my lines; Is that alright?", Sunobu looked at Aishi, she shrugged and nods,"Of course, we do need a lot of help to make this play the best this school has seen.", Haruka smiled, Aishi smiled at her to return it.
She didn't mind Haruka, she liked her as her friend.
