Tenma's back shivered. Someone was staring at him again, most likely that person who has been following him around lately. A short time has passed since that accident and Tenma had already learned his lesson but he wondered what this was all about. He just hoped it wasn't some rabid fan or something. That would be scary!

Shindou saw Tenma fluster over something but then his attention, along with everyone on team's was more fixated towards Tsurugi. Was it just him or recently has Tsurugi been watching Kariya a lot? With the challenges of the Holy Road tournament being over, he wondered why he seemed on edge. Maybe if he had stayed behind yesterday, he would have known and maybe Kirino would have had a good laugh.

-Aki's House-

"I'm home!" Tenma proclaimed happily as usual. "And hello Sas…huh?"

Tenma was surprised to see a letter in his dog's mouth. He handed it to his master but he didn't seem to look happy. Tenma took a look at the back of the envelope to see who the sender was. His face paled.

"Oh, hello Tenma." Aki greeted from the door. "A letter arrived for you today. Do know who it's from?"

Tenma gulped.

-Inazuma Town-

Minamisawa rubbed his temple. Today during practice, a ball hit him there. He sighed and grumbled angrily. Minamisawa continued thinking as he passed a street corner. He looked to his side. Funny, it must have been there for a long time though it was only now he actually took notice of it. What he was referring to was a picture and incense surrounding the street lamp. Now that he thought about it, he remembered about something big that happened some time back. It was all anyone would talk about. It had something to do with the police…

With what happened to him and Hyouda, he couldn't help but wonder…could all those stories be true?

Minamisawa decided it couldn't be. He was just getting a little over himself now!

Minamisawa sighed to relax to get his thoughts together but unfortunately, he couldn't even if he tried.

"You can't be serious about this!"

"I know it's hard but it's for your own good."

"No! I'm not going back! You promised me I could stay here for whole year at least!"

"I know what I said. But right now, the circumstances aren't good. You can just come back next year-"

"No dad, I can't! There's this tournament we have to win! By the least, let me stay here until the tournament is finished!"

"I'm sorry but the answer is no. Now go back and pack your stuff."

"No wait, dad-"

Minamisawa heard a door slam; hinting him that the father did anything but wait and more so when he heard a car drive away. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the child. He went to go talk the child, the two accidentally bumped into each other.

"Oh, sorry about…"
