Later that day after the goodbyes of the Harune family, Leo went to a big mansion-like house. It had a European feel to it. He entered the door. He sat on the sofa. A woman with dark green hair emerged from a room. Leo stood up, face remains expressionless.
"I am Leo Harune. Critique for most Prism Stars at America. Nice to meet you." Leo said extending his arm. "Coach Kei."
"You are very well informed to know where I live." Kei said shaking the red head's hand.
"I can be pretty well informed if it has something to do with Prism Shows." Leo explained. "I also know that you have been training Sonata Kanzaki, correct?"
"Correct. Take a seat Leo." Kei said taking seat opposite from Leo. "Why have you come here?"
"To ask you something." Leo replied. "Will you be willing to answer it?"
"It depends on the question."
"Do you see any potential for anyone, in this current age, that can perform the legendary Aurora Rising?"
"I may or I may not. The world is very large."
"I will like to make something like a bet." Kei looked at Leo with a slightly confused look. "You see being a critique, I know when someone has a huge untapped potential on Prism Stars."
"And meaning?" Kei asked.
"Meaning, I sort of know who can perform the Aurora Rising."
"That is quite impossible."
"Well that's why this is a bet. If my sister, Aira Harune successfully jumps the Aurora Rising I win, if she doesn't I lose." Leo explained. "If I lose, I would be your personal servant."
"If you win?"
"Nothing, I just want to see your shocked face."
"Deal."
"I'm glad we reached an understanding." Leo shook her hand. "If you don't mind I will be leaving now."
"I want to ask you one question though." Kei said. Leo stopped at the doorway.
"And what is that?" Leo asked as he looked at the woman.
"Why do you have so much faith in your sister that she will be able to do it?"
Leo shrugged then smiled. "Let's call it a critique and a brother's instinct." He went outside.
"Take care, critique Leo."
Leo made it to Pretty Top just in time as Mary was about to announce their big news.
"What kept you so long?" Mary asked.
"Had to visit someone." Leo replied.
"What's the big news?" Mion asked impatiently. "You two are going out?"
"Nothing of the sorts." Leo replied calmly while Mary was slightly blushing. "The news is we're leaving. Not really something big though."
"Yeah." Mion sighed.
"Does mom and dad know about this brother?" Aira asked.
"Yep." Leo replied.
"When will you be back?" Rizumu asked.
"Probably in the next three years or so." Leo replied.
"Or maybe in the next Prism Queen cup." Mary added.
"I thought you weren't going to enter." Leo said.
"I said maybe." Mary replied.
"Then, see you in the next competition Mary." Rizumu said shaking hands with Mary.
"Likewise." Mary said.
"Let's have fun in the competition." Aira said cheerfully.
"Right." Mary agreed.
"I hope to see you all soon." Leo waved in his two-finger wave.
