In the previous chapter...

"And, are you supposed to leave? Or is that ..." Tokoha replies.

"Mikuru isn't here and I leave my keys at home, so I'll stay here for a while." the redhead replied

"How did you say ?! You cann't!" Tokoha answers him.

"Technically I can, it's my apartment after all." Chrono says.

"I don't like this, but ... maybe I can find out who is the girl that Chrono likes." Tokoha thought.

Chapter 4

"Ok, you can sleep in that room ... there's a bed and some sheets, so you won't take much of what I gave you." Chrono said to her.

"And where will you sleep?" Tokoha asks the redhead.

"I'll be on the couch in the living room, so there's no problem." Chrono answers her, who for certain reasons didn't want to stay.

"If you say it." she says, who goes to the room that Chrono had offered, once she arrived at the room she was surprised because it was completely clean.

"These are all pictures of us." Tokoha told him when he saw some old photos of Try 3 and other people.

"What are you doing?" asks Chrono.

"Uh ... nothing, I was just going to ..." Tokoha answers, who sounded a bit nervous.

"It's not necessary that you explain, I just came for something." Chrono answers, who pulls something out of a drawer and leaves, but...

"What are you carrying there?" Tokoha asks him when he sees that Chrono stuffed something into his pants pocket.

"Do I have to answer that question?" Chrono answers her.

"Oh, I see ... it's the love letter you will give to Emi-san." Tokoha replies, causing Chrono to blush and get upset.

"I already told you No! How old are you 10? Stop asking those kind of questions." Chrono says annoyed.

"Damn!" Tokoha thought, but what Chrono didn't realize is that he was carrying the wrong paper.

"hehe, Chrono took the wrong paper, if I read it ... Just maybe a glance, although he's right..." she thinks, at that moment Chrono returns to the room, and realizes ...

"you read it?" Chrono asks Tokoha.

"No, I haven't read it." she answers, who gives the paper to Chrono.

"Read it, it doesn't matter anymore." Chrono tells him, who, after breathing deeply, let his friend read the mysterious note.

I don't know how to say this ... but now that the Stride Gate event has been solved, I think I will present my exam to become a Clan leader just like Mamoru-san. The bad news is that ... I will be alone Shion said he wanted to take a different path and Tokoha said he would study abroad, I believe and I will miss them both. Especially Tokoha who will go to Paris to study.

But ... there's something that has been bothering me for a few months, I don't know ... I could say that it has been bothering me ever since the G Quets started, and what bothers me the most is that I couldn't tell her how much I love her...

"This is confusing and very short." says Tokoha, who had just read the first page

"Take this is the other sheet, but ..." Chrono answers, who was nervous.

"are you sure?" Tokoha asks Chrono.

"Yeah, before I change my mind." Chrono tells her, when she starts reading this other sheet Tokoha discovers that she had another date.

The second stage of the U20 is coming and I am glad that Tokoha and Shion managed to pass, but... Today I met with Kamui-san and some friends of him... At first I didn't know why or what was happening, but... everything changed when I met and fought against Sendou Aichi. I didn't know there were such strong fighters in the world, and not only that... thanks Tatsunagi Nome, who told us everything about Onimaru Kazumi and the Diffriders. Knowing that Aichi-san and I have to save the world makes me happy, but ... the bad thing is that with this it is very clear to me that my love for her is impossible, I don't want Tokoha and the others getting hurt by some mistake mine, so ...

"Woow, I don't know what to say." says Tokoha surprised.

"Don't say anything, just leave that where it was and ..." Chrono said, but someone pulled him before he left.

"We haven't finished talking and you know it, right?" Tokoha tells Chrono who stops him for a few seconds.

"Do you know that tomorrow we have class, right?" Chrono answers her.

"Yeah, but now I have many doubts ... and with the situation so complicated that we have in school I doubt we can talk there." Tokoha answers him.

"What do you want to know?" Chrono tells Tokoha.

"How much of this letter is true?" Tokoha asks the redhead.

"I don't know ... maybe 50 or 65%, well, I'm going to sleep." Chrono answers her.

The next day...

"Hell, I feel like a truck has run me over." said Chrono, who was getting up, but ... in that moment he sees something that makes him jump from where he was and makes him nervous.

* Ding dong *

"What lacked." Chrono said nervously.

"Why are we here since so early?" Kazuma asks Kumi.

"It's just ... Tokoha-chan didn't get home yesterday and I'm worried." Kumi answers.

"But... this isn't supposed to be Shindou's apartment." said Kazuma, who was in the front door of the apartment.

"Yes, but ... maybe Shindou-kun knows something." Kumi replies, who rings the bell again.

* Ding dong *

"Guys? What are you doing here?" Chrono greeted them, who was only wore a shirt and his pants.

"Tokoha-chan didn't arrive yesterday at my house and I'm worried." Kumi told Chrono who sounded very distressed.

"Take it easy, she will appear before classes start." Chrono answers them, who wanted them to go before it was too late.

"You're suspicious, you know?" Kazuma says to him when noticing the expressions of the young redhead, in that moment ...

"Chrono, do you know who was the person who ring the doorbell so much on the door?" said Tokoha, who came out of her room with her shirt slightly unbuttoned, at that moment Kumi covered Kazuma's eyes and looked at Chrono. Thinking that the redhead had done something to his friend...

Minutes later...

"Damn it, I hate to run to school and haven't had breakfast." Chrono complained as he was running with his friends because he would be late.

"That's true, that you didn't have breakfast, but ... how was your dinner last night?" Kazuma jokes, who was looking bother the redhead.

"Shut up, I'll go buy something at lunchtime." Chrono answers him.

"Tokoha-chan, what happened?" Kumi asks Tokoha.

"I don't know, the only thing I remember is that Chrono and I were fighting and ..." Tokoha replies, who does not remember what happened.

"And?" asks Kumi, who thought the same as Kazuma.

"I don't know, I just know that I have to talk to Chrono again." he answers the green movie.

"Yeah, and at school no one will let you talk to him alone, I know, why don't you try it at Card Capital." Kumi tells him.

"It's not a bad idea, but ... I don't think Emi-san will let us talk much." Tokoha answers him, who still thought there was something between Chrono and Emi.
