Hajime focused on his lunch tray, but he secretly looked at Mika for a few times. It seems that they're in quite an awkward situation as both of them just keep silent as the lunchbreak goes on. Although Hajime always wanted to talk to Mika, right now he don't know what to say anymore. In fact, he wasn't the type of person that would start up a conversation. So far, the only person that could get on his talkative side is Hikari. After some while, he decided that he should speak up to break this awkwardness.
"So..." Hajime spoke up, but before he could finished his sentence, Hikari appeared from nowhere and wrapped his arm around his shoulder with a big grin, "Hey Hajime-kun, so you're sitting here. Heh, I was looking for you, y'know."
"Y-Yeah." Hajime said, a little bit surprised. "Where was you earlier?"
"Well... um... I have some... issues that I need to resolve..." Hikari said while scratching the back of his head. With a quick glance, he could see that his barrier is now also tapped to Hajime. Then he looked on to Mika, "Hi, Mika-san. How is it going?" Hikari said to her with a gentle smile, "mind if I join you guys?"
But as Hikari was about to sit, the school's bell ring, indicates that the lunchbreak was over. "Oh, too bad..." Hikari sighed, "well, we'll heading back to our class now. Let's go, Hajime-kun. See you later, Mika-san."
With that said, Hikari turned his back. Hajime sighed, "Sorry about Hikari-san, he's a little bit over-exciting at times, but he really a nice guy," He then stood up, "well, I guess I'll see you later too. Nice afternoon."
Hajime then walked away from the table and catch up with his best buddy and went back to their class. The afternoon classes also went on quite normal, much to both of the Children relief. And it seems that both of the auras that had entered their school have gone. Luckily that today they don't have much subjects and they can go back sooner than everyday. After the last subject finished, Hikari and Hajime gathered their stuffs hastily and went out of the school together. Just as they stepped out from the entrance, Kyo was there waiting for them.
"Good afternoon, Kyo-oniisan." Hikari grinned as he walked to his Entity.
"Konichiwa, Kyo-san. How was your day?" Hajime said with a smile as he followed his friend.
"It's about time, both of you." Kyo gave them a greeting smile, "okay, let's head for the Spiral Highlights for now. Are you ready?"
The Children then nodded. "Good, hoping that you two will have fun. Okay, I think that both of you know how to get there so just go right ahead and I'll follow you two behind from a distance as not to attract too much attention. Let's go."
Hikari and Hajime walked on the front with Kyo right behind their back. The building wasn't that far from their school so it took them only about 10 minutes walking and soon, the building is now on their sight. But just as he got near there, Kyo abruptedly stopped. He could felt some stirring in the mana flows around this area, and he was quite surprised when he felt that, though he is well-aware that sooner or later, this moment would come. "This could only mean one thing," Kyo thought, "looks like the tiger has went out from its cave. But I needed to check later, just to be sure."
Kyo then catch up with the other two and three of them made their ways to the top of the building. He saw that the three veteran Entities are already there, along with Rion - Patience's Catalyst.
"Hey," Hajime spoke out loud to gain their attentions, "we're here."
The three then walked to the four standing in front of them. "Well, something had happened back at their school. Because of that, I think it is better that I should escort them here, just in case. They can tell you about it. That's all I guess." Kyo said then turned to the two catalysts, "you're on your own this time. Good luck." He said with a wink then made his way back to the ground. While he is going by the elevator, he thought about his plans, "I should go to the basement for now and waited til' tonight." Kyo actually is looking forward tonight, "can't wait to meet her again."
