AN: Hello! Exam is over and I am happy. But holy shit there's still so much to do, I may not have time to write, so I am not sure how long you will have to wait for another chapter.

I do not own Love Live! School Idol Project

As soon as she fell asleep, Rin rushed to Eli's room. She was in too much of a hurry to find answers, so she did not bother entering through the door, instead she entered through Eli's wall with a crash, startling Eli and causing her bottle of ink to spill of her parchment.

"Rin! How many times have I told you not to-!" Eli started, trying to clean her desk.

"Eli! Something is very wrong!" Rin interrupted, waving her arms.

Eli searched Rin's features for a second, and relaxed her shoulders, moving her entire body to face Rin while using her magic to discard the stained parchment.

"What's wrong?" Eli asked, gesturing to the empty seat near Rin.

Rin shook her head to decline the offer, "Kayochin blames herself for the destruction of the village even though I'm sure she wasn't the culprit because that night I couldn't sleep and I know she was right next to me until the morning but I also feel something missing, like a piece of time being removed or altered, and I think that because of this, nobody knows who destroyed the village, and also the village was destroyed right after we let Honoka and her friends stay here, so the culprit must be one of them even if they're not aware of it! Eli, are you lis-"

"Stop." Eli said, and Rin quieted down immediately, her claws sheathing and unsheathing nervously.

Eli frowned as she tried to come up with a reply. "You shouldn't make assumptions, Rin."

Rin opened her mouth to object, but was once again interrupted by Eli.

"I did feel the timeline being altered, but there's no proof that the newcomers were the culprits, and just as you said, they themselves may not even know that they were the cause of the destruction. We can't act immediately; we need more information. Please wait a moment." Eli turned back to her desk and grabbed a clean roll pf parchment, she scribbled several strange letters onto the paper and blew on it when she was done. The ink disappeared and she quickly rolled the paper into a scroll, then sealed it with dragon's blood. "Here." Eli turned back to Rin, the scroll held towards the ginger. "Take this to Nozomi."

"Right." Rin answered, grabbing the scroll and stuffing it into her pants. Bowing, she exited the room.

"Rin? Where are you?" Honoka called out, lifting a plank and looking underneath it. She frowned when she saw no cat-like girl there, and dropped the plank with a disappointed sigh, where has that silly girl run off to this time?

Rin was always getting lost, she remembered. Before Hanayo and Rin moved away, Honoka used to play with them every day. Once, Rin was sent to her shop to buy sweets for her parents, but she got lost of both the way there and the way back. Honoka smiled at the memory, hoping the younger girl was not in too much trouble at this moment.

Honoka looked around, and realized that it was about time to meet up with the others. She scanned the forest, looking for the markers she left. Once she found one, she headed off in that direction, not bothering to look back, and perhaps, if she did, maybe she would have noticed a yellow feather trapped under a rock.

But she didn't.

"She wasn't in the area I searched." Hanayo said gloomily.

"I can't sense her anywhere, I think she left the village." Maki said, crossing her arms.

"I wasn't able to pick up any trace of her scent." Nico reported.

"Couldn't find her either, but maybe that's because you told me to search rubble." Honoka muttered loudly enough for the others to hear.

"Why don't we try agai-" Hanayo started.

"Yeah, no." Nico interrupted, "she left the village."

"You don't know for sure!" Hanayo shouted.

"We searched the whole village and beyond, I tell you, she's not here."

Hanayo's body started shaking, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Oh no, Hanayo, I'm sorry, please don't cry." Nico apologized, patting Hanayo's back. "We'll find her for sure, Rin couldn't have gotten far."

"Come on, cheer up. She'll definitely come back." Maki said awkwardly, not used to crying people.

"Yeah, Rin wouldn't leave you behind like this! She must have had something important to do, like delivering an urgent message!" Honoka exclaimed.

Hanayo's eyes widened in realization, and she quickly wiped her tears away. "We have to go to the Garden of Glass!"

Maki and Nico looked at her in bewilderment. "The Garden of Glass, as in the Glass Garden? Where the two goddesses live?"

"Yes, that Garden! Unfortunately, only one of the two goddesses are there right now. The Goddess of the Afterlife fell sick, and the Goddess of Life returned to her hometown to retrieve a cure."

"Nozomi is sick?" Nico asked, turning to Maki.

"Don't ask me, I haven't seen them for some time now."

The raven-haired girl turned back to the brunette. "Hanayo, Nozomi is-" Nico stopped halfway, seeing Hanayo's shocked expression.

"W-Why do you know her name?"

Maki sighed, "Nozomi and Eli," Hanayo gasped at the name, "saved our lives."

Nico looked at Hanayo suspiciously. "How do you know them?"

"I am... I am... the Devil's youngest daughter."

Honks is not in the Chapter

Death Gremory: I guess they are kinda overpowered, with the shapeshifting and all. I am actually unsure how I should explain Nozomi's goddess thing? Hanayo is a shapeshifting demon, and I guess she counts as a shapeshifter... I guess. I finally made a tumblr, but I'm not sure how I post my stories, I hang around DanganLive. Thanks for reviewing!
