"Hey I heard there were two new transfer students" Kaori told the group as they were currently in the club floor.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this" Houki looked at Sora who was using the club rooms tablet.
"About what?" Kaori asked Houki.
"The new transfer students"
"Don't be" Sora came and patted Houki's head "I just checked they were just visitors and they should be arriving in"
"Sora!" Alice bursted through the door's club room followed by Chifuyu and Erina.
"Oh" Houki sighed and didn't say anything else as she probably knew what was going to happen.
Kaori looked at Alice wondering if she was the transfer student, but she then saw that Chifuyu pinched her ear.
"You brat, this maybe Sora's club room but this is still school property" Chifuyu dragged Alice again inside as Erina walked in.
"Alice!" Cecilia came in and ran away with Alice "Come cook for me!"
"But!" Alice couldn't fight against Cecilia as she was more stronger than her so she resigned to her fate of being bullied for today.
"Say Houki do you know them?" Kaori asked her.
"Yes, they're childhood friends of ours they're probably the transfer students everyone is calling out"
"Oh" Kaori then went up to Erina and held out her hand. "My Name is Kaori! What's yours?"
Erina looked at the hand and then at Kaori. "Nakiri Erina."
"Are you really the Erina!?" Kaori asked as she also followed some of the cooking magazines and had read tons of news regarding her.
"I guess yes?" Erina didn't know how to face Kaori.
"Ah! Can I have your autograph?" Kaori took a small notepad and showed it to Erina who took out a pen and signed on it. "Thank you!"
"You! Stop stalking on Tohka and entertain your guests!" Chifuyu called out Sora and left as she had no time to handle everything as she too was currently busy.
"If I lose track on her now who knows when she's going to blow this place up" Sora sighed.
"Can you not just call her?" Houki and Erina arrived near him as they were curious and Kaori was still looking at Erina's signature.
"Well she's with Mayumi now taking the tour of the place as well as learning more about our etiquette but"
"You're afraid of letting her meet with us?" Erina looked at Sora in the eyes as she was curious knowing more about Tohka.
"Are both of you not going to be jealous?" Sora closed his tablet and looked at Houki and Erina as they both were lowkey in keeping their jealousy.
Erina shook her head so did Houki.
"Are you really still going to ask that question to me?" Houki punched the wall and made a dent. "After all these years?"
Sora patted Houki as she kept punching the wall and then kissed her cheek which made her stop midway.
"Tha-that's! Unfair!" Houki then ran away red as she went to find Julis.
Sora sighed and then looked at Erina who was flushed red.
"So why did you guys come here?" Sora asked as he sat down again and messaged Mayumi.
"Alice dragged me, I also wanted to see what your school was like" Erina sat down as well and took out a Manga she was reading.
"Thinking of actually transferring here?"
"I did but you know someone would object and I stayed in Totsuki, besides I don't see any merit in staying here other than losing."
"But you did Improve."
"I can't deny that" Erina then thought of the times she lost and then remembered about the next match and suddenly reddened again.
"Did something happen?" Erina shook her head as she knew that it was just a number but she also knew it meant something else.
"Nothing!" Erina then proceeded to lay down on Sora's lap and read the manga she was given.
While Sora was now searching news regarding random happenings the doors were once more busted in startling everyone.
"I'm sorry she was just too energetic after hearing where you were" Mayumi chuckled as Tohka came in followed by Rio and Sakura.
"Sora! Where's my Date! My Date! Date!" Tohka came in full force as he stared down at Sora not minding Erina who was on his lap.
"Have you finished your research on where you want to go?" Sora close his phone and smiled at Tohka.
"Are you still not worried Sakura?" Rio asked Sakura.
"Why would I?" Sakura then rushed up to Tohka and grabbed her arm.
"Eh? Who are you?" Tohka was surprised at Sakura but felt she was nice and didn't blast her yet.
"I'm Sakura! Say did this meanie not take you out on a date yet? You know that Japan allows for Polygamy now right? Can I come with you guys?" Sakura smiled at Tohka who stared at her.
"Ok" Tohka just nodded.
"She doesn't know what Polygamy is you know and she's not from here" Sora pointed out to Sakura who flinched.
"I see" Tohka nodded and then.
"Can you teach me?"
"Teach you what?" Tohka then whispered to Sakura's ear who reddened and then nodded.
"O-okay!" Sakura then dragged Tohka out and Rio came in and stared at Erina and Sora.
"Erina Nakiri, and based from the equipment on your laboratory Shinonono Manufacturing"
"So you know Tabane?" Rio nodded.
"She's famous and I've read about her but her information is scarce aside from her upcoming inventions"
"You want to meet her?"
"Eh! No! No! I was just saying and pointing it out that you have a lot of connections." Rio shook her head.
"She's more than willing to help you in your research as long as she's interested in it."
Rio's eyes widened and thought about it for a while. "I'll think of it, besides I'll borrow your laboratory"
Rio then left and Sora then heard Erina sigh.
"I only left for a few months and you're surrounded by tons of girls again? Anymore that I should know of?"
"Well"

"Chizuru!" Chizuru heard a voice as everyone was still surrounding her asking about Sora, she then took the chance to leave.
"I'm sorry I have to go" Chizuru then saw Kouko waving at her and went to her as she looked likr her way out of her current predicament.
"How have you been?" Kouko asked her as they left the school premises.
"I've seen better days, so what did you call me for earlier?" Chizuru then stopped as Kouko also stopped.
"Actually I have a favour to ask" Kouko told Chizuru who somehow felt something was wrong again.
"I'm listening somehow?"
"Can I come with you on your next date with Sora!" Kouko grabbed Chizuru's hands as she looked her in the eye
"Why?" Chizuru didn't understand her.
"It's like this, I saw Mitsuo getting jealous of me looking at Sora! And I feel if he see's me with Sora he's going to finally make a move on me!" Kouko told Chizuru her plan who was weirded out.
"Wouldn't that backfire on you?"
"Nonsense! I believe Mitsuo would definitely chase after me if he see's me with Sora! Besides he's currently retaliating!" Kouko then pointed to where Mitsuo was as she was accompanying a pink haired girl and an average guy.
"So he like's loli's?" Chizuru said as it seemed that way.
"No! Well now that you mention it" Both of them looked at the pink haired Girl Mitsuo was following.
The Pink haired girl noticed their stares and waved at them, Mitsuo flinched and the average guy stared at both Chizuru and Kouko comparing them.
"I guess I now have a few more friends?" Chizuru said as she followed Kouko's lead as it was better than getting swarmed by people asking about Sora.
Chizuru then decided to text Sora as she also wanted to meet him sooner or later to not only talk about other matters but of Diamond as well.

"So when will you give me Erina" Saya asked Senzaemon as they were currently in her Office.
Senzaemon coughed. "I want visitation rights"
"And then train their child to be another Erina? No" Senzaemon flinched as he knew he couldn't fight Saya.
"N-no, I just want to see my Grandchildren, yes my grandchildren, I'll just teach them a few things or too."
"Fine, if they really want to cook I'll let them, but no closed door training"
"Agreed, back to the main point, You're saying things are awry as of late?"
"Seems like it, I can still guarantee safety"
"As long as my Interns are okay with the conditions on the train I'll allow it to continue, besides you poach everyone alway, that Brat Rindo is screaming at wanting to work for you as soon as possible."
"I can't blame her that much, even Eishi has told me he wants in too"
"You! Every year My Top 3 students are being poached before I get a chance to offer!"
"What Can I say? Money works in mysterious way"
"But you offer much more than money."
"And they want the thrill of journeying down there."
"I'm too old to for this talk, erase my memories of the underworld once Erina takes over I don't want any part of the supernatural"
"Sure, oh how's the funds?"
"Funds? Didn't you brin-" Senzaemon then received a call and answered it.
"I'm going back home."
"How much did she give!?" Senzaemon roared at the phone
"Money is also part of my powers" Saya laughed as the elevator doors closed leaving a flinching Senzaemon.

"It sure is noisy there" Mai said as she looked at the entrance of the club floor.
"What are you doing here?" She was surprised as she heard a familiar voice.
"Ne-Nemuri-sensei!" Mai was surprised as Nemuri saw her.
"If you want to go in be my guest, if not stop standing there I need to manage my brats" Nemuri waited for Mai who shyly walked inside.
"Good" Nemuri had a smile as she was back in her so called home even though she only left for a half day.
