On a sunny day.
Theresa, who had confirmed Kiana's whereabouts, then departed from St. Freya's Academy to Nagazora City, which was quite a distance away.
Theresa arrived in Nagazora City when it was already late evening, under the light of the setting sun, she walked through the city.
On her way, Theresa, who has a petite body, naturally attracts the attention of several kind older sisters who think she is a child who might be lost.
As a result, Theresa took out her identity card to clear up this misunderstanding.
Theresa did not feel angry about this as she had seen this many times before. Hence she often took Major Himeko with her wherever she wanted to go.
It was just that this time she didn't bring her, as the less people who knew about Kiana the better.
Incidentally, now Theresa felt very lucky for not bringing Major Himeko.
Because from the information she had gathered, Kiana was currently living in the male-only dormitory at Tachikawa academy secretly with the only resident of the dormitory.
Feeling that this might become a scandal, this family's ugliness should not be spread.
Theresa was even thinking of how to eliminate the bad guy living with her beautiful niece.
In Theresa's view, Kiana was an innocent girl when she first came to the town of Nagazora.
A boy happened to help her and teased her, making Kiana fall in love with him at first sight and even live together.
If this was a soap opera, this plot would have been marketable, but Theresa really didn't expect it to actually happen in real life.
She is currently thinking about the boy who 'seduced' her favorite niece!
'That boy must be taught a lesson!'
Theresa wore an annoyed expression when thinking about this matter that made her look cute in the eyes of outsiders.
Fortunately Tachikawa academy was one of the most popular schools so it could be easily reached using GPS.
Theresa quickly arrived in front of the academy gate without attracting anyone's attention.
She glanced at the students who were still at the academy due to club activities and so on before heading towards the boys' dormitory.
'Huh? A Villa? Is this Villa the boys' dormitory?' she thought a little strangely.
After all it was rather unlikely that Kiana would not be caught hiding in a dormitory like this...
'Don't tell me it's that boy who wants to take advantage of Kiana's innocence! ' Theresa's expression became a little angry, but she quickly calmed down and took a deep breath.
At this she suppressed all sorts of dissatisfaction in her heart and prepared to ring the bell.
'Huh? There's no bell?'
Theresa discovered that not only was there no so-called doorbell in this dormitory. Even the door lock was broken, it seemed that the door was also covered up to some extent to hide it.
Besides feeling a little happy that she could sneak into the dormitory more smoothly, Theresa also had a strong concern.
Since the door of this dormitory was basically broken, did it also mean that this dormitory was an abandoned building?
It was a bit of a pity that a Villa like this became an abandoned building...
Could it be that all the rooms here are dusty, dirty and even have cobwebs?
How could Kiana live in such a dirty place!
Theresa's hatred for the man Kiana came in contact with grew.
Poor Kouro, he didn't do anything but was blamed instead...
As a result, Kiana, who was still in the room, heard the sound of footsteps approaching from outside.
'The sound of these footsteps... It's a bit different from Kouro's footsteps...' Kiana thought using her intuition.
She then poked her head out and furtively looked at the person who was approaching.
After seeing that it really wasn't Kouro but someone she didn't recognize, she then suddenly pulled her head inward in a panic.
Kiana silently thanked herself for not making a sound, her actions just now should not have been noticed by the other party.
Kiana did not question the intruder but began to think nervously.
She who had been in a 'NEET' state all day today finally had the energy to use her brain now.
Was it the Principal of Tachikawa Academy who came here?
Hmm... It feels like it's impossible judging by the other party's appearance and height, the person who came doesn't look like a teacher, it's most likely that the other party is a student.
Kiana saw that the person who came was a small girl. A girl of that height could not be a high school student, at most a junior high school student or even an elementary school student.
'What is an elementary student doing in a high school dormitory?!' Kiana thought frantically while patting her head.
Kiana then sent a text message to Kouro who was supposed to be out of school due to an errand.
She typed frantically and immediately told him to come back because there was a 'small unknown child' in the dormitory.
It was a good thing Theresa hadn't carefully looked at every room door in the corridor. Otherwise, the broken door of the room where Kiana was would have nowhere to hide.
Theresa immediately stepped onto the stairs in the corridor and walked upstairs.
She didn't seem to plan to knock on every dorm room door, but went to the upper floor of the dormitory first.
According to Theresa's guess, the boys living in the dormitory would not be on the first floor.
This idea was also thought of by Kouro and Kiana after discussion.
That's why Kiana didn't move to another room or exchange rooms with Kouro to maintain confidentiality.
___
Several kilometers away from the Tachikawa Academy dormitory.
Kouro who was chatting with Mei as usual while tasting the snack she made suddenly felt his phone vibrate.
*Buzz! *
He opened his phone and glanced at the incoming short message, his eyebrows visibly raised after reading the message.
Seeing this, Mei who was sitting beside him and was smiling faintly because she was happy to see Kouro tasting her homemade snacks, couldn't help but ask.
"Did something happen?"
"At my dorm... well, there was a little problem, I'll tell you the details tomorrow, now I have to go back first, sorry." Kouro said with a serious expression.
"No problem. "
Mei just watched Kouro leave, the reason why she was just watching him instead of escorting him to the school gate like a good friend was because Kouro should be banned from going here.
After all, Senba Academy is a girls-only school so Kouro shouldn't be seen.
If she drove Kouro to the corner of the academy by the wall and then watched him over the wall, it felt a bit like a student who wanted to skip school.
As a good girl Mei naturally did not want to have such irrelevant rumors so she would just watch him like now.
Kouro's departure did not make Mei feel relaxed, instead she was worried.
Mei was not the type of person who liked new things and disliked old things.
She wouldn't get tired of communicating with Kouro because she had more to do with him.
After school every night, she would always chat with Kouro, practice swordsmanship together and watch him eat snacks carefully made by her.
Those were all things that made Mei happy.
She who was used to chatting with Kouro who came every day. Now seeing the other party suddenly leave early made her feel a little strange.
She then thought about it carefully and realized that Kouro had always come on his own initiative.
'Hmm... It might not be bad if I come to Kouro's academy, perhaps... I can come to his room.' Mei thought with a subtle smile.
Mei actually wanted to invite Kouro to her dormitory instead of being outside all the time like before.
But considering that Senba academy was a girls-only academy, Kouro who always sneaked over the walls to get in and out was already at risk of being discovered.
That's why she decided not to invite Kouro to her room.
Also, who sent the text message to Kouro?
Recently, Mei had purposely searched for some information regarding Tachikawa Academy. She had never heard of any other boys transferring there or even living with Kouro.
Does that mean... The one who sent the text message was a girl?
If it was a teacher, it shouldn't have sent a text message when something happened, but would have called directly.
Mei was currently a little worried about the person who texted Kouro and also the content of the text.
'Don't tell me... Kouro already has a girlfriend?!'
Mei's expression for some reason right now when seen by outsiders looks scary...
