-7:00-

-schale office-

-ojou-sensei resting area-

Waking up, I touch my head still feeling dizzy.

After finally settling at the edge of the bed, I look around.

Ojou-sensei:"Where am I?"

As I ask myself that question, someone suddenly spoke.

?:"Sensei! You're finally awake! How's your feeling? Are you good now?"

Looking from where the voice came, I saw Mika enter the room.

Ojou-sensei:"Oh Mika... Why am I... here? I remember we are... at abydos."

Mika:"You lost consciousness sensei. The foreclosure task force together with Yuuka and Noa brought you back here. Luckily, it seems you just lost consciousness from head ache and nothing serious."

Ojou-sensei:"I see."

Now that I think about it, I can somehow remember losing consciousness and remembering something... what was it I wonder...

Anyways, I still have work so I tried to stand but Mika stopped me immediately.

Mika:"Please rest for now sensei. I already arranged your work and the foreclosure taskforce or Okusora Ayane helped me move your schedule."

I looked at Mika surprised about the fact that the entire foreclosure task force is here at schale.

Well considering their school just got destroyed yesterday...

Ojou-sensei:(Guess I will discuss with them later what to do...)

Although I must admit. After Mika transferred in schale as my assistant 2 months ago, she became more docile or mellowed out. I feel proud seeing her like this now.

I look at Mika faintly smiling.

She noticed me though.

Mika:"Ehe? What's wrong sensei? Why are you looking at me?"

Ojou-sensei:(Ooops... she noticed me.)

Ojou-sensei:"Nothing much. Just remembering some things."

I tried to say something...

Mika:"Okay?"

She replied before heading out my room probably going back to her work or something.

I laid down back to my bed which I added in my office rest area since Iroha and Ibuki tend to stay over a lot to play.

Looking at the small table beside the bed, I saw my tablet suddenly blink open.

Then seconds later, two small holographic figure appeared.

Arona&Plana:"Ah sensei!"

the two student started fidgeting when they saw me looking at them.

Ojou-sensei:"Good morning Arona and Plana."

Arona&Plana:"Good morning sensei."

I smiled at the image of the two.

I remember one time I randomly asked Arona if she can materialize herself like what Plana did in the ark but unfortunately, according to Plana, she only managed to do that since inside the ark, she exists and doesn't exists simultaneously. But then Mika suddenly suggested something.

Mika:"Why don't they appear like hologram instead? You know from the movies science stuff?"

Then suddenly Arona and Plana suddenly got the idea.

And there they are now. Always appearing like this every time they can.

Ojou-sensei:"How's the operation?"

Plana:"Right now, we can only use 70% of our computational output when we are in holographic mode."

Arona:"Yes sensei. But we can just return to the tablet when we need to use the full capacity."

Plana:"But... I am inside..."

Arona:"Planaaa! I told you to not think about it. We are two and we managed to create a miracle to save sensei that time remember? So with you here makes us more powerful!"

Plana:"Arona..."

Arona:"Believe in onee chan(sister) okay?"

Plana:"Yes... Arona senpai(Upperclassmen or in this scenario someone more experienced or longer inside the tablet)"

Watching this two bickering somehow made me giggle.

Arona:"Sensei?"

Arona heard me so she asked curiously.

Ojou-sensei:"Nothing. Don't worry."

Arona:"I see?"

Arona stopped asking and started looking around the room instead.

Plana on the other hand sat beside my pillow.

Plana:"Sensei. While you are sleeping, Niya sent a message on momotalk."

Ojou-sensei:"Niya?"

Plana:"Yes. Should I read the message?"

Ojou-sensei:"Please do."

Plana:"Got it sensei. The message goes like this..."

Niya:"Good day sensei nyahahaha. If you read this message, I would like to invite you in our next festival as thanks for helping us in the last festival 6 months ago. Of course the goal for this invitation is for you to relax sensei. Definitely not to ask for your help again like before nyahaha. Hope you join us. The event this time will be open for other schools as well for the festival committee decided to make it a dragon boat race. the formal letter of invitation will be sent to your office at a later date but if possible, your presence this week can be a great help so we could ask for your insight in this huge event. As always, thank you sensei."

Ojou-sensei:"A DRAGON BOAT RACE?"

Meanwhile, somewhere in millennium academy.

-Veritas-

-11:00-

?:"We have received another feed from the cameras president."

Himari:"Hmmm... How long did it stay opened?"

?:"Roughly 5 minutes only. Luckily there are a group of students notice right away and managed to fight off the tentacles."

Himari:"Alright. Thanks Chihiro."

Himari lets out a sigh.

Chihiro:"This is occuring more often."

Maki:"Yes. at the interval of 6-8 times a week."

Hare:"Although all usually stays open at around 5 minutes only."

Himari:"Hmm... Even a genius beautiful sickly super hacker like me can't fathom what is the purpose of this."

Himari then opens a tab with sound only communication.

Himari:"How about on your side, Big sister."

Rio:"Negative. Toki just went to the latest area and failed to make contact. They seem to close immediately before Toki can arrive in the scene."

Himari:"This is hard... Maybe we should ask C&C as well."

Rio:"Your call. I am now a simple wanderer. I no longer have any hold to any school."

Himari:"And I must say you deserve it big sister."

Rio:"..."

Himari then closed the call before sighing as she relax on her wheelchair.

Maki:"By the way, we received an invitation from Hyakkiyako."

Himari:"The festival right? I'm surprised they are forming another one in just 6 months apart."

Maki:"The invitation says they will be having a dragon boat festival and all schools are invited. The price will be a whole day of stay in their finest hotel and a rare delicacy serve only among the nobles in hyakkiyako."

Himari:"Let's just leave it to others. Maybe ask my cute juniors in the game development club or something."

Maki:"I kinda want to join too."

Hare:"Me too."

Chihiro:"Compared to being stuck here..."

Himari:"Unfortunately we can't. We need to observe this occurrence. To avoid that phrenapates incident again."

Maki, Hare and Chihiro sighed.

Himari:(Is this another incident that can harm the entire kivotos? I hope Big sister's hunch this time is just her being what she is...)

Himari then starts watching multiple footage on many screens again after drinking water.

Meanwhile still on millennium

-Game development clubroom-

-13:00-

?:KUYASHIIII(Regret)

?:I win nee-chan(OlderSister)

Inside the clubroom Momoi and Midori are playing a fighting game.

Midori:"Apple juice for me."

Alice:"Strawberry for me!"

Yuzu:"Can...I have Grape Milk?"

Momoi:"Grrrr"

Momoi stummers out the room

Alice:"Midori, what are we going to make for the next millennium prize? Can we try space adventure next? I want to try fighting otherworld entity next!"

Alice asked while jumping around holding a makeshift sword by rolling paper.

Midori:"Momoi plans to make a cooking game but Yuuka scratched it because nobody can cook here..."

Yuzu:"Except... Alice."

Alice:"I also loved cooking!"

Alice sat beside Midori seemingly getting ready to play again.

Yuzu:"Then... how about a horror game?"

Midori and Alice suddenly turn around and look at Yuzu sitting on the sofa.

Midori:"Are you sure?"

Alice:"I like horror games too!"

Yuzu:"I.. read one in the...B-chan(4chan reference)about the 100 ghost stories..."

Midori's eyes opened wide while Alice smiles widely and her eyes filled with excitement.

Alice:"100 ghost stories?!"

Yuzu:"Yes... Apparently it's an urban legend... from Hyakkiyako..."
