On the fallowing Saturday, everyone gathered at Hikari's place.
"My, it's nice to see you all again," said Mrs. Hanazono as Kei and all the others walked in to the house.
"You too Mrs. Hanazono," said everyone as they stood in the entry way.
"Well take care of the place while we're gone," said Mr. Hanazono as he walked over to his wife holding a basket.
"Wait, where are you going?" asked Akira.
"We're going to the beach for a picnic, Hikari was supposed to come along with us but she got sick overnight," said Mrs. Hanazono.
"Wait, she's sick again," said Kei in a terrified voice.
"Yes, well we'll see you later," said Mr. Hanazono as he closed the door behind them.
"What are all of you doing here?" asked Hikari as she stood at the top of some stairs, wrapped up in a blanket.
"Hey Hikari, remember we were supposed to talk about Biran today," said Akira as Kei hid behind her.
"Oh I remember now, hey Kei, why are you hiding?" asked Hikari with a sniffle.
"No reason," said Kei as he remembered what all had happened last time. A few minutes later they were all sitting at the kitchen table with some tea in some cups.
"Um H, Hikari do you mind not sitting so close to me?" asked Kei as Hikari clung to his left arm.
"Mm, but you're so warm Kei, plus I love you," said Hikari as she looked up at him with a smile and puppy dog eyes.
"Uh, I hate that look," said Kei as he covered his mouth with his left hand.
"Uh, I hate how she's cling to him," said Akira with fire in her eyes as she stared Kei down.
"Now, now, let's settle down and get to business," said Tadashi with a nervous expression.
"Shut up," said Akira as she through a pie in his face.
"Mm, good pie," said Tadashi as he removed the pan from his face and licked all of the pie off.
"Thanks it's," said Akira as Tadashi broke in.
"Blue berry pie, with a cheery crust, and mint whip cream," said Tadashi.
"Good taste buds," said an impressed Jun.
"How did he manage to eat all of that?" read Megumi's sign.
"Akari could make something completely disgusting and he would still eat it," said Ryuu before taking a sip of tea.
"Yeah, except Akari could never make something taste bad," said Tadashi with a smile. Akari just turned bright red in the face as he complemented her.
"Alright how about we move on?" asked Kei.
"Right," said everyone else.
"Alright, so Biran worked at my family's company here in Japan as a scientist," said Kei as he opened a folder with a picture of a man with black hair and greyish green eyes who was wearing a lab coat.
"He doesn't look mean enough to have created that collar," said Jun.
"He wasn't, until the accident he was really happy," said Kei.
"What accident?" asked Megumi.
"An explosion in his lab caused him to turn into this," said Kei as he moved the picture to reveal a second one, this time it had a man with burnt hair and scars all over his face.
"Whoa, that's Biran?" asked Akari with a shocked expression.
"Yes, it happened when he mixed several acids together trying to make a cleaning agent, but when he added the last one they exploded right in his face, he's lucky that it didn't kill him right then and there," said Kei.
"If he was a good scientist then how did he not realize they would explode?" asked Ryuu.
"It's because the labels on their bottles where wrong, but he never saw it that way, all he can see is that it was my grandfather's fault for hiring incompetent people," said Kei.
"And now he's out to ruin your family," said Jun.
"It seems so," said Kei with a mad yet upset face.
"Ahh, it looks like you could use a hug," said Hikari as she gave him a big hug.
"Come on Hikari let go," said Kei as he tried to force her off. He was also having trouble breathing since she was hugging him so hard.
"Hey Kei why don't you call her by THAT name?" read Megumi's sign.
"That might work, right Ms. Rank Two?" said Kei as he turned his head to speak directly in her ear. Kei's words pounded through Hikari's mind as she started to tremble.
"Arrgh, don't call me rank two!" said Hikari so loud that the house shook and car alarms on the street started going off.
"Well, it looks like that made her feel better," said Ryuu who had been knocked out of his chair along with the others by Hikari's scream.
