Rikiga had assured Shion he would not cause any distractions whatsoever if he was allowed to tag along during the next driving lesson. Of course, Nezumi wasn't holding his breath on that, but Shion seemed to believe him. To be honest, things were actually going relatively well so far, and Rikiga at least seemed to be trying not to start any problems. In fact, he'd only complained once about Shion driving too slowly during the entire half hour the lesson had lasted up to now.

With no distractions to worry about, Shion appeared to be much more comfortable driving, as long as there were no freeways involved. So they were running errands that wouldn't require Shion to go anywhere near freeways. Fortunately, the mall, some restraunts, and plenty of other stores were all within range.

It actually looked like they might manage to have a normal, problem-free lesson until Inukashi asked them to stop at the mall so she could buy some dog food for her dogs. That wasn't the issue either, though. It wasn't until the foursome had returned to the car, each carrying several bags of dog food, that they saw it - an advertisement for some new restraunt had been left on the front window of the car. All the cars parked nearby had advertisements left on them as well, so the group thought nothing of it.

After they stopped for lunch, they found yet another advertisement left on the car, this time for the movie Rikiga had wanted to watch. Again, the surrounding cars also recieved the ads, so it appeared to be a coincidence.

But after they stopped at another store so Rikiga could buy some office supplies, they found yet another advertisement. It was around this point that Nezumi began to suspect there was something strange going on. However, since Shion wasn't annoyed, nor was his driving affected by it, Nezumi said nothing.

Next they went to a dry cleaners (Rikiga had to pick up a suit), and upon their return to the car, they found the front window plastered in advertisements.

"Okay, this is starting to get weird," Inukashi commented, as she, Nezumi, Shion, and Rikiga removed the advertisements. "There's at least thirty here, how many people go around passing out advertisements at a dry cleaners?"

Lastly, they headed to a grocery store, and Shion nearly dropped the bag he was carrying when he saw how many advertisements had been left this time. "There's got to be more than a hundred," he muttered.

"We were gone for ten minutes! How is this even possible?" Nezumi added.

"It shouldn't be," Inukashi agreed.

Though this was their last errand, it was not the last they'd see of the advertisements. They were in for quite a shock when, after helping Inukashi carry her purchases into her hotel, they found several more advertisements.

"Huh? But we're not even in a store parking lot..." Shion noted, confused.

"I've never heard of people leaving advertisements in a residential area before," commented Nezumi.

"I think someone's doing this on purpose," Inukashi told them, having returned for the last bag of dog food.

"Great." Nezumi muttered. "Does this mean my car's going to be covered in advertisements tomorrow morning?"

"Probably!" laughed Inukashi.

When they reached Rikiga's house, Nezumi had had enough. "Shion, hide in the car and find out who's doing this." Upon his return to the car, Nezumi smirked, seeing a bunch of advertisements lying on the ground in front of the car, as though dropped there when someone approached and saw Shion.

"So who was it?"

Shion shrugged. "I don't know. They looked familiar, like I've seen them before recently, but I have no idea who it was."

Rikiga, who had forgotten a bag of office supplies, walked back over to the car. Nezumi had a sudden idea. "Hey, Shion. Can you describe the person?"

Rikiga seemed to recognize the description, and Nezumi smirked. "I thought so. Rikiga, tell your friend to stop it."

"What- I didn't tell anyone to- Really, it was just as much of a surprise for me-"

"Whatever. Just make them stop."
