The four of them have a meeting in the Student Council room. Akane, Y/n and Kou are seated at the table as Hanako was at the window since there are only chairs for three in the room.

      "So how are we going to do this?" Y/n asked as she took a candy and plopped it inside her mouth. "Can't you use your watch to freeze her?"

      Akane shook his head. "Mirai is immune to my time freeze and you saw how ridiculously fast she is."

      "If we give her some free rein then she might get it out of her system and come back on her own but..."

      "But our friends?"

      "Can we really put everyone back to normal?"

      "Don't worry about that, the rotten old man will work that out." Akane assured the exorcist.

      Y/n walked over to Hanako to see him looking kinda down while hugging his knees. "What's wrong? Something bothering you?" she asked.

      "It's nothing." he smiled innocently at her. "Do you hear a lot of noise or is it just me?"

      The sound of something crunching is coming from the bag of candies that was resting on the table. The four of them went over there to check it out, until Mirai popped out of nowhere. "Stupid heads." she said.

      Mirai bounced off the table. Y/n tried to catch her but ended up laying down on the floor. Hanako was about to grab her but he landed on top of Y/n by accident.

      Y/n felt her blood rushing through her cheeks and her heart pounding so fast. Mirai jumped over to Hanako's head that made him mutter an ouch as his lips accidentally made contact with her collarbone.

      "Heh, slowpokes." Akane muttered. Mirai kicked him on the face then flew at the top while giggling. Hanako was covering his lips while apologizing to Y/n multiple times just to be assured by her that it was Mirai's fault for doing that.

      "Yah!"

      "Hah!"

      "Why you—"

      Y/n and Hanako went over to Mirai who was floating still. Just as they were about to catch her she fell down making the two teens' foreheads clash against each other. "O-Ow." Y/n rubbed her forehead which is now red.

      Mirai was about to exit the door until Kou grabbed her pigtail. "Don't underestimate me, school mystery." he smirked. "You got me last time, but I know all your tricks——"

      The tiny girl pointed her finger up to reveal a clock as she forwarded the time to Kou. Mirai popped out from the smoke. "Grr, I have difficulties of moving you forward for some reason, I just wanted you to look handsome but it didn't work."

      Mirai disappeared in a blink of an eye. "Didn't work?" Hanako questioned.

      "It does make you suddenly feel like lopping her hands off." Akane says.

      "U-um K-Kou-kun?" Y/n swore she felt another wave of deja vu. 'Oh my god what if he's an old man now?'

      The smoke cleared up to reveal Kou, who is now looking like a spitting image of his brother Teru. "Dammit, she got away." he wiped his jaw.

      Y/n and Hanako gasped at the sight of Kou. "He looks just like the student council president...." Akane commented.

      "Oh man holy shit..." Y/n covered her mouth.

      "Y/n are you okay?" Hanako asked.

      "Do I look like I'm okay?!" Y/n showed her bleeding nose. "My nose is bleeding because Kou-kun is looking like a whole buffet——"

      "I'm turning into Yashiro cuz I freaking miss my daikon child." she added while wiping her nose.

      Hanako and Akane went to the hallways as Y/n stayed behind. She didn't want to catch Mirai anyways, who knows what that tiny child is capable of.

      "Senpai, are you okay?" Kou asked her with concern. Y/n went behind Hanako to hide her flustered state.

      "I'm s-sorry, I'm not used to seeing you like this." she said.

      Hanako looked at the grown up Kou until he realized the uncanny resemblance of his big brother who tried to get rid of him. He hid behind Akane. "I'm sorry, I'm not used to seeing you like this." he repeated.

      "So how do we capture Mirai?" Akane asked.

      "Does she have some sort of weakness?" Y/n asked.

      "First she's not very smart." Akane began explaining Mirai's weakness.

      "But that pipsqueak had the audacity to call us stupid."

      Akane sighed. "She's a glutton, she loves preening herself and she's very fast."

      "Kinda like a rat?" Y/n questioned. "No, it's for that son of a bitch that gave me a fucking sleep induction in the Hell of Mirrors." she mumbled.

      "More like a mouse." she corrected. "We can leave a trail of candies for her to follow and lead to the student council room."

      "That's a great idea L/n-san."

      "Don't play nice to me our arguement about the derivatives is still not finished." Y/n hissed then she smiled after. "I'm kidding~"

      Y/n ran over to Hanako and Kou. "Guys I have a plan so that you guys can catch her."

      "Aren't you going to participate, Senpai?" Kou questioned. "And what's the plan of yours?"

      "We just gotta leave a trail of candies for her to follow and lead to the student council room." Y/n explained.

      "Also I'm really exhausted of all these Mirai shenanigans." she chuckled while stretching her arms. "I just don't feel like catching her."

      'Just don't let yourself be touched by Mirai, no matter what.'

      Four of them initiated the plan by placing candies that leads to the student council room. Just as Mirai reaches for the last piece of candy, Kou created a lightning cage around her. "We finally caught you!" Y/n pointed out.

      "I can't believe Y/n's plan worked." Hanako smiled. "And I also can't believe that future kiddo learns skills like this one."

      Akane stopped time for the lightning cage so that Kou can take a rest. "Surrender now, Mirai." Akane tells her.

      "Aw that's too bad, you're going to capture Mirai, huh?"

      "That's right." Akane sighed as he picked her up. "So be a good girl and——"

      "Just one more!" Mirai disappeared from Akane's hold.

      Y/n's eyes widened as Mirai was about to approach her. She stepped back from her murmuring 'no' and 'don't' all over again. "Y/n!" Hanako exclaimed.

      Mirai placed the clock on Y/n and grinned mischievously as she slowly forwarded her time. "NOOOOOOO!" she cried.

      And then her vision went black as her body dropped to the floor.

      Zero o'clock.

      And you're gonna be happy....
