"Should I take you home by bus, um?" Sion bargained who was starting to notice Kyra's face was red, probably a fever.
"Achoo, I... I'm waiting for Key a-choo ... to come home," replied Kyra.
Sion nodded. "Hmm, fine."
Unbeknownst to them, a man was already behind them. The man had silvery white hair. He handed the umbrella to Sion.
"Take this girl to a warmer room!" the man ordered before he stepped into the bus.
"Wait! Then where should I return this umbrella, Sir?" Sion shouted to be heard by the man who was already at the bus door.
The man turned around. "No need to return it, it's free," the handsome man took a similar folding umbrella from his backpack, "buy one get one free."
"Huh??" Sion blinked slowly as he watched the man walk away.
"As I've seen before," muttered Kyra in a voice trembling with cold.
Due to the umbrella being a bit small, Sion pulled Kyra's arm into his embrace. They jogged towards the school building.

Sion entered the classroom with his cool steps. He saw Key resting his head on the bench while looking out the window. Sion sat right behind Key.
"Hey, I brought your girl to the infirmary," Sion said, interrupting Key's thoughts.
"She's not my girl!" Key argued, lazy.
"Then she's my girl." Sion said it casually while taking out a writing utensil.
"Hey! You!!" Suddenly Key groaned hearing Sion's words.
"Besides, why did you take her to Health Room, um? Is it okay for non-students to use Health Room here?" added Key.
"Of course I can, isn't it my aunt who is in charge of guarding the infirmary," Sion replied casually. "But wait! Then, what do you care, Ludwig?"
"No, I don't care. I'm just surprised, I remember she was fine when I left you with her."
Key started to worry about Kyra's condition. It's nothing, what if Kyra turns out to be the son of the mafia leader? What if Kyra complains about it when her memory comes back what will happen? Ah, just thinking about it frustrated Key.
"She seems to have a fever from the rain earlier."
"Huh?! You guys playing in the rain? The two of you?" Key was starting to get shocked imagining it.
Sion nodded. "He'em. Isn't it so romantic? Letting raindrops penetrate to cool the heart. Then, take shelter under a narrow umbrella together. Walk hand in hand through the rain by hugging each other and--"
Blam!
"Stop it, Nightray! You think you're shooting a drama, huh!" snapped Key. He stomped his feet on the floor and walked with wide strides out of the classroom.
Sion shook his head, not understanding. "Tsk tsk tsk basic, five-year-old boy!" Sion grumbled staring at Takumi's departure.
After only a few seconds, Sion saw Key returning to class. Still wearing a sulky face like a child according to Itsuki. Where do you want to go while the lesson is still going on?
The change in class hours, class 1F was back to being chaotic as usual. Key briefly saw Sion, who was in the seat behind him.
"Since when do you care about other people, Nightray?"
"Since you said that Kyra is not your girl." Sion's words raised a frown on Key's forehead.
"Kyra?! Since when did you two get that close, huh?!" Key shouted, as if he didn't accept it.
"Since this morning," Sion answered carelessly. He really likes to work with other people.
"I warn you again, Nightray! Don't approach her more than this if you don't want to regret it later, Nightray!" said Key, emphatically.
"Then? What's wrong with that? You said she wasn't your girl, right? So from now on she's my girl." Sion spoke so lightly without any burden. As previously.
"Is this your true nature? Meet a foreign woman and then make her your girl, tsk!" Key looked cynically.
"Not all girls, only Kyra!"
"Aren't you afraid that she's a dangerous person? In fact, I don't even know where she came from, Nightray." Key tries to get Sion to think twice about approaching the strange girl named Kyra.
"She's too sweet and innocent to be a cheater. And there's no way such silky soft hands could threaten the safety of a soul, Ludwig." Sion gave a rebuttal that silenced Key.

The recess bell rang, the sound became a refresher for the students who were tired of studying. Key immediately rushed to the Health Room.
His heart fluttered, while his feet seemed to deny his heart to see Kyra's condition. However, before arriving at the Health Room, Key was confronted by someone who asked for help to deliver books to the library. Without refusing, Key immediately helped the person.
"After this, I have to see that crazy girl, somehow I feel worried for her." Key arranged some of the books he had brought and placed them in order on the bookshelf.
"Has she eaten? It seems, this morning she ate very little. But, what do I care? Should I buy her some food? Ah, I should have shared my lunch with her too." Key monologues.
In the end, Key bought some food menus, then rushed to the infirmary.
Arriving at the door of the room, Key gave up his intention to enter immediately. There was a crisp laugh that he believed belonged to Kyra.
Key peeked through the gap in the door. It looks like Kyra and Sion are joking around. Kyra looked so radiant when her face was hit by the sunlight shining through the window.
Key overheard. It was clear that Sion was approaching Kyra. And seeing that incident, made Key hold back his emotions.
