Natsume still continues to discredit Yuki about her attitude a few hours ago. Yuki did not respond to the girl, her phone had since continued to shake teasingly at her.
"What is your relationship with sensei?." Ask Natsume.
"My lady, she keeps calling." Yuki took her phone from inside the bag staring at the name that appeared on the screen.
"Sensei must be worried, you better pick up." Natsume's Advice.
"I don't want to talk to him." Yuki instantly turned off her phone.
"Well, I'll take you home." Said Natsume, Yuki put her phone in a bag.
"I don't want to go home." Yuki.
"Hmm .., how about we take a walk to harajuku." Natsume smiled widely, visible from his face he was very excited.
"Don't you have any club activities?." Answer Yuki.
"I asked Abe Senpai's permission when I saw you on the field earlier, so today I'm free!." Natsume walked forward then turned to face Yuki with a sweet smile.
"Alright, let's go to harajuku." Yuki said in the end, it might not hurt if he played around outside.
"Yeyy!, let's go!." Natsume is jumping around a little.
Inside Yamada workshop.
"And they're all gone."
"Hm."
"Are you sure they're not gonna mess with us anymore?."
"Of course, and already beat them. They don't love life if they make a scene in our territory."
"What do you think Dan?."
"That woman, they're high school boys. Did they disturb your mind?."
Eyeballs and distant glare.
"No."

On holidays like this the streets are very crowded, adults, students, and children fill the shops that are located along the street. Natsume's cheerful and vibrant nature is contagious to Yuki. The two teenagers entered the shops that caught their attention.
Some people also approached Yuki and Natsume, asking to get acquainted with the two, Yuki responded to the people by bowing and passing away.
"Can I take a picture of you?." Natsume Permit. Yuki thought. He only realized that he had never taken a photo at all, other than for his security, Yuki had never thought of doing that.
"Come ... Put us in a good place." Persuade Natsume to smile.
"Do as you please." Answer Yuki.
Maybe it doesn't matter if I take a photo at this time, I'm already free from corporate affairs, there is no need to hide, right, father?, Yuki's inner self.
Natsume asks Yuki several times to face his phone but the girl is always indifferent, so he shoots candidly (without engineering).
"Yu chan, want to eat crepes?." Natsume Tawar.
"certain." Answer Yuki.

Hyuga Miyazaki's.
Hotaru and Takehara Rin are taking a break after a day of tidying up their new home.
"Rin neecchan, you haven't finished your story." Tegur Hotaru demanded, the article in the car on the way home from the Takehara restaurant stalling his promise.
"You take a shower first, I'll make you a cold drink." Takehara.
"I can't wait anymore." Answer Hotaru pull up the chair, throw the p*nt*tnya roughly.
Takehara glanced at Hotaru, the young man was very serious. His hand took out two cups filled with water giving one of them to Hotaru.
Takehara pulls the chair across her sidewalk continuing the interrupted story.
"In the quarrel Daren dono looks very angry, the arrival of ojou chan stops the quarrel of Daren dono and Ayumi dono." Takehara recalled those moments.
"Ojou chan was very surprised by the pile of corpses and puddles of blood that filled the floor, even so." Takehara stared at Hotaru's bright brown bead.
"Ojou chan approached Ayumi dono, took the katana from Ayumi dono's hand gently, cleaned the bloodied hand with her small handkerchief."
Yuki .., Inner Hotaru.
"That same night Ayumi Dono sent me to her personal doctor, we separated. I didn't know what happened after that until two years later Daren dono came looking for me, taking me secretly to his new home. Asking me to be Ojou chan's course teacher, keeping everything in the past a secret and pretending not to know him."
"The next story you already know." Takehara said, sipping water from her cup.
"It's impossible that Yuki doesn't know you." Hotaru's eyes looked at the woman from her past.
"Unfortunately when I met him again, ojou chan had already turned one hundred and eighty degrees. He doesn't know me, just to get his attention takes a lot of effort." Answer Takehara.
What could such a thing be?, there must be a consequence there must be a cause, inner Hotaru.
"Mom didn't know you were in that pavilion?." Ask Hotaru.
"No, I never left the pavilion." Answer Takehara.
"Then why did you become a hit man?." Hotaru stared in full search.
A few months ago Hotaru entered an illegal site looking for a hitman who happened to be the hitman knowing about the forgotten group. That's why Hotaru chose him.
"I don't know what you and Ayumi Dono are thinking but I can guess your plan." Hotaru waited for an explanation calmly.
"You will definitely be looking for someone who can kill very neatly without leaving a trace, to protect Ojou chan. And I immediately signed up to be a hit man to wait for you to find me."
"Of course I refused all requests, until you called me." Takehara.
"Why did you let you leave the pavilion?." Hotaru leaned her back against the chair.
"That's an order from the great mistress." Takehara's reply left Hotaru shocked.
"grandmother?." Repeated Hotaru. Takehara nodded.
"After ojou chan brought you back home, the great mistress learned of my whereabouts from Daren dono. Even the great mistress had no idea what Ayumi dono was thinking and planning. My job is to find out what Ayumi dono is planning." Takehara looked hard at Hotaru.
"Why did you guys go secretly, why did Ayumi dono carelessly bump into her own daughter?." Takehara's intimidating tone suppressed Hotaru. The woman took out one of her skills.
Hotaru remained motionless, her mind returning to the moment where she was devastated, the image of her scarred twin face was clearly visible in her eyes, making her longing for grief soar. Unconscious tears just escaped from his eyeballs.
"Mother knows I'm sick, she took me away to heal me." Hotaru replied, keeping calm even though her tears would not stop.
"I've known that since you infiltrated the pavilion, bocchama." Takehara's gaze was scrabbling.
"Is there anything you're hiding?."Hotaru wiped her tears slowly.
The young man took a deep breath, recalling what his grandfather had taught him all along. Family manners Hachibara.
He straightened his back, sat in a perfect manner, slowly raising his eyelids staring right at Takehara's bead making the woman surprised.
The affirmation that he was the first son of the honorable Hachibara family.
Take care of your attitude, Takehara. That was what Takehara meant when he saw the change in Hotaru's attitude, and that kind of attitude and aura that only a respectable family had to rebuke his followers and their subordinates.
Takehara's body automatically moved to perfect her sitting position, lowering the gaze of the eyes that had been staring intently at her master.
"There's poison in my body." Hotaru said calmly.
"The poison I made myself, my body tested the poison." Takehara swallows her rough saliva.
"Have you forgotten?, me and Yuki are spears and shields." Hotaru pulled one end of her lips up.
"It looks like spears and swords are better suited to describe us." Error Hotaru.
"Didn't you teach Yuki long before I came back, did you just teach her and ignore what happened to her?." Hotaru's voice seemed to echo in that simple room.
"My answer." Hotaru.
Takehara tried to stay calm even though he had to try his best.
"Ojou chan is very secretive, he is very intelligent. Sometimes I can't read his mind." Takehara lirih.
"Did you also forget why since childhood I tried desperately to learn martial arts with grandfather?." Takehara is forced into thinking by Hotaru.
What?, why?, why is bocchama always in the dojo with the guards?, did I forget something important?, inner Takehara.
"You've completely forgotten it." Takehara felt bad, she tried harder and harder to remember something she had forgotten.
"Did you know if I was kidnapped by Grandpa's rival?." Takehara shook her head slowly.
"I thought you were still hiding with the big madam, no one told me about it." Answer Takehara.
"Ten days after my father and mother moved to Indonesia I was kidnapped by them. Exactly one week before my sixth birthday." Takehara's eyeballs were shaking.
"Two years after that, eight years of my age when you were also brought into the pavilion. They tortured me with whips, punches, and knives, forcing me to make the poison they wanted." Mixed feelings hit Takehara.
He was one of their guards but he felt very pitiful, useless when the future successor to the main family needed him.
"Until the day Yuki infiltrated to find me, recklessly, no photos or information could help her find me." Hotaru.
Ojou chan, go, alone?, against those who twelve years ago attacked the main residence?, Takehara's mind was in a rage right now.
"Do you know what that means?. Do you remember now, the reason I trained so desperately?." Hotaru looked at Takehara who was still silent, the woman's shoulders quivering slightly.
"Wash, punch, incision, even resist the effects of toxins in the body. I trained three times that of Yuki to protect my body." Hotaru Fishing.
Takehara regained his senses, he quickly covered his open mouth with both hands, his eyes fully rounded staring at Hotaru's bright brown bead. He just remembered.
"Ojou chan feels the same pain." Takehara muttered his voice trembling.
"You finally remember it." Hotaru smiled in a slant.
"I tried to make harmless poison so that they would reduce my torment, to protect Yuki. The exercises I've been doing with my grandfather are very helpful to keep the poison from spreading. It's up to the school murder plot." Hotaru.
Takehara thought, guessing Hotaru's plan.
"You left because the killer managed to escape, because they could have returned to perform their failed actions and kidnapped you. Ojou chan can't know or, it won't let you go. After the killer died, you go back to look for ojou chan because it's safe." Takehara brought out what was in her mind.
"But the two assassins were from different groups to the main residence assault group, there were other enemies eyeing the main family. Do they know what the great master is hiding?." Takehara's heart was pounding.
"Not." Takehara stared at Hotaru's bead nanar.
"They're after the poison maker. The group that kidnapped me had used the poison to kill their leader. Because it was the martial arts that grandfather taught me that allowed me to live until then." Takehara stunned.
"It seems that the information that Fitri leaked is only that limited. Turns out he's smart enough not to divulge any other important information." Takehara lowered her hand.
"So, what are your plans to bring me back here and make me use this name?." Hotaru asked firmly.
"This is the plan of the great mistress and Daren dono, to teach you another kind of martial arts. Aren't you just learning martial arts from a respectable family's generation." Answer Takehara.
Not even I can learn that science, Inner Takehara.
"It's not that I doubt science, I also want to learn it but I can't. For a guard like me to get a confession first by the head of the residence in order to learn it." Takehara.
"But, your abilities are still far from ojou chan." Takehara hesitantly glanced at Hotaru to see the young man's expression.
"I know." Quick answer Hotaru.
"Then?." Hotaru.
"You have to practice more, learn how to read the opponent's mind, while waiting for them to be lured out of hiding and we start attacking." Hotaru knitted her two eyebrows.
"That's why you told me to use this name, to lure them. Have you gone mad?, attacked heh!." Hotaru raised her voice.
"This is the plan of the great mistress and Daren dono, bocchama." Sergeah quickly takeshara before Hotaru is really angry.
Although the young man in front of him was four years younger than him but the fact that the young man's standing was much higher than Takehara as his guard made the woman feel fear in her heart.
"What do you and your grandmother think?." Hotaru low murmur.
"The great lady decided that now it was time to strike back, the hiding time was up, the great madam was also secretly doing something big, beyond what I and everyone knew. Even Daren Dono had refused." Takehara.
"Dad?." Hotaru's confused.
"It seems like an impromptu plan after seeing the state of ojou chan, Daren dono looks very chaotic, he never looks very worried about ojou chan after the second massacre first. Bocchama, it's like an internal race. Will the great mistress who precedes Ayumi dono or Ayumi dono who first do the plan. It's like they're acting the opposite." Finally there was someone Takehara could talk to about what he had expected and thought all along.
"What about Ayumi dono?, will you report this information?." Ask Takehara carefully.
"No, I ran away from mom after hearing Yuki disappear. Do grandma and dad know that I'm with you now?." Hotaru asked back.
"Yes, I've reported it. The madam also chose this house, a little away from the main residence but not too far for reinforcements to come." Hotaru crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Grandmother has planned this carefully, there is no reason to reject her plan. I've been thinking the same thing the last few months." Hotaru's spinning her brain.
"But there's still a big problem that I haven't solved yet." Takehara focused on listening.
"I don't know what mom and om Ronggo are planning."
"Ronggos?." Tanya Takehara did not know who the person in question was.
"The person you trust to protect and take care of all Yuki's needs. She's with mom now, no. I don't know since when she became a confidant of mother." Takehara gave a strange look to Hotaru, Hotaru who noticed a small snort.
"It's not a strange relationship like you think. Mother held her dignity very high. The dignity of a wife, a mother, and a leader is revealed to her." Obviously Hotaru cut out Takehara's strange thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I also know it's bocchama." Takehara reply quickly. Hotaru was just taking a deep breath.
"Do you know of any of the secrets that Mom's been hiding?." Ask Hotaru.
"No." Takehara answered briefly and clearly.
I know mom did all this to protect me and Yuki, but why does this brain ask me to think more deeply, inner Hotaru.
"So, we'll follow Grandma's plan." Hotaru has decided.
"Then like the original plan, I play your older sister to outwit them and confuse them." Takehara. Hotaru nodded in agreement.
"Means we have to play this role as convincing as possible, you understand bocchama?." Takehara returned firmly after Hotaru gave her decision.
"Hi Rin neecchan." Answer Hotaru his hand grabbed the glass and downed the contents to the toilet.
