"Youichi-kun, Shiki very tired. Shiki don't want to play anymore." Shiki said after playing for some time.
Youichi nodded, "Ley's go back to Natsume nii-chan." He suggested.
The kids found him at the balcony smiling to himself.
"Youichi-kun, what is nii-chan laughing about?" Shiki asked.
Youichi shook, "No idea. This is the 1st time I saw Natsume nii-chan like that."
Shiki then rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "Let's play a joke on him, shall we, Youichi-kun?"
He agreed and they slowly and quietly sneaked up on him. Natsume was so engross in his own thought that he did not sense them approaching until….
"BOO!" Youichi and Shiki shouted out loud, each at one side.
Natsume immediately jumped in surprise and looked around. He thought that it is an attack from those people that attack the village, but only found Shiki and Youichi.
"Why you 2 little imps… I'm not going to let you of…" Natsume shouted as he chased them out.
Once they reached the clearings, the kids have no more strength to run anymore and took shade with Natsume under the tree. As soon as they settle down, the kids immediately fell asleep.
"Natsume-kun, what are you doing here?" Mikan asked as she saw him under the shade and left Tsubasa and Misaki to join him.
"No class today…" he replied and shift a bit for her to sit. "You want to complete the trilogy? I have the last book with me now." He then asked.
"Why not? Time is still early." Mikan said.
"Time is still early for what, Mikan-chan?" Tsubasa asked, catching up with her.
Mikan looked up, "Tsubasa-sempai, Misaki-sempai, I thought you 2 has went off to the dorm already." She said.
"Well, this idiot here forgets to tell you something very important." Misaki said, hitting Tsubasa's head.
"Nani desu ka?" Mikan asked.
Misaki smiled, "Well, tomorrow is the annual school checkup. That's why school ends early today. Remember to sleep early and don't be late for the checkup tomorrow." She said and pulled Tsubasa away with her.
As soon as they left, Natsume took out that book and they began reading it. The last book is mainly about the battles between the main characters and the destroyer of the village. However, the story ended in a very tragic way. As they finished reading the story, Natsume found Mikan crying, which he has expected. He then calmed her down before waking the kids and they went to find Hotaru and Ruka.
Later that night, Mikan suddenly remembered that she forget to share with Natsume the information she got from Noda Sensei. She walked towards Natsume's room, hopping that no one has saw her and knock at it.
'Who could it be, so late at night?' Natsume thought as he opened the door.
"Mikan! What are you doing here?" he asked, letting her in.
Mikan entered his room and said, "I just remembered that I forget to tell you something. It is about Misaki Takeru and Fuyuki Hikari."
She then told him all about the information that Noda has told her. That was only then that they are aware that the 2 people in their dream really who. They continue talking about it till it was late at night.
"It is already so late!" Mikan said when she saw the time. "I better go back to my room now. Oyasumi, Natsume-kun." She said as she got up.
No sooner she got up, Natsume immediately pulled her back. She looked at him with questions.
"Stay here. It is already so late and I don't think it is safe for you to go back on your own." Natsume said.
"Demo…" Mikan argued.
"My bed is big enough for 2 people. Don't you worry about it?" Natsume said.
"… Ok…" Mikan agreed and they sleep together.
