PROLOGUE
The Cat's Out of the Bag

"Have you heard? Archery Club President Rena Erendil rejected the Student Council President Add Kim during lunch break earlier!"

Rena Erendil heard a lot of murmurs around her while walking towards her locker. Earlier at lunch was a disaster, she didn't expect that Add would be so direct towards his feelings that day all of a sudden. Rena knew that Add was always the least to express any emotions but something was off during lunch.

"This may be the only time and chance I can tell this to you but Rena, I've been in love with you for so long." He was definitely waiting for a reply. He definitely got his reply though, but it was already expected. Rena doesn't feel anything from him so he rejected his love proposal.

News reached the campus and it turned out to be the talk of the day. The Journalism department wanted a word with Add but the teacher said that he left school during lunch time with an approved excused letter at hand. "He probably was too heartbroken to show his face at class, Miss Rena."

Rena paid no heed at these small talks about Add Kim's confession. It was a daily thing anyway; guys or girls show up at her classroom's door and confessed. Archery Club President rejecting confessions is a daily basis. She didn't want to be involved in any relationship or whatsoever. What happened during lunch time wasn't anything new. It just turned big since it was Add Kim, the Student Council President, which confessed. It'll pass on a day or two and everything's going back to normal soon.

""Rena, do you want to go Karaoke with us?" one of Rena's classmates asked. "Sorry, Anne, but I have to get my bow at the shop today!" "Alright. Take care Rena! See you at school tomorrow."

Before going to the shop, Rena went to a public restroom and changed from her uniform to a hooded casual get-up. She doesn't want anyone to know about her current addiction that would probably tarnish her school reputation.

"Nekomata. Who is the mysterious figure behind the hood?" that was the headline of the newspaper she was reading as she was waiting for her bow. Once given, Rena left the shop and headed to the deeper parts of downtown Velder, where she could shop freely for Nekomata merchandise. "Who is Nekomata?" She has to know. She is a big fan ever since she was saved from a burglar. She has a separate room for all her collectibles but no one at school knows this addiction. Sure, she can bring a keychain of him at school but the merchandise… No no no! She can't tell that to anyone. Not even Add Kim knows about it!

Night fell upon the land and Rena didn't notice how time passed by. When she got her daily Nekomata goods, she took a shortcut towards the alley. No one barely knows that way and it's a fast path towards home. It's only a secret between her and Add. Strange, she thought to herself. Why are her memories with Add began to re-appear? "It must be because of that confession." She answered her own question as she entered the alley.

As she was nearing to the other end, Rena saw someone lying down on the ground. She hurriedly came to the person's rescue. Somehow, she recognized the figure. The costume. The hood. The get-up. "Gasp! It's Nekomata." Nekomata was in front of her, barely moving and gravely wounded (he was bleeding on the right side of his stomach). Rena removed his hood and then dropped the goods she was holding. "No way, it can't be…" Rena was in disbelief.

"Add?"
