"La-la-la-la-la-la-la~"
Kaito sang alone as he walked towards the Music Room.
"Eh?"
However, something just attracted his attention.
He spotted a single piece of paper on the floor, not far from the room's door.
"A paper?"
Perhaps someone accidentally dropped it, he thought. Kaito then took the paper.
But when he checked it, he was entirely shocked.
"Wait a minute...what in the name of Mother Earth is this?"
A series of unexplainable symbols were written it.
Kaito somehow felt very suspicious about those odd writings. Perhaps he need to show this to his colleagues as well.
Quickly he sprinted away to the teacher's lounge.
...
"Quick! Pay your rent!" Yukari demanded.
Inside the teacher's lounge, Yukari was playing Monopoly with Akari, Iroha and Nemu.
"Okay..."
Akari then checked every Monopoly banknotes in her possession...
Only to find out that she was running out of money, not enough pay her rents.
"Nooooooo..." tears slowly formed in her eyes.
"To bad, now you're a bankrupt!" Nemu exclaimed.
"Why, why, why!?" Akari pressed her face on the desk, banged her fist against the table.
"Better luck next time, nya!" Iroha said.
Out of sudden, their game were interrupted abruptly when Kaito suddenly barged inside the lounge.
"EVERYONE! I HAVE A SHOCKING DISCOVERY!" Kaito shocked.
"Huh!?" the rest of them were dumbfounded.
"LOOK! I JUST FOUND THIS IN FRONT OF MUSIC ROOM!"
Kaito then give them the paper.
When each of them looked at the paper, they responded with surprised looks, as if they never saw it before.
"Shion-san, what's this?" Nemu was confused.
"I don't know if is this a real letter or not" Akari commented.
"I couldn't even understand it at all, nya!" Iroha said.
"You know what? This is the greatest discovery I ever found!" Kaito smirked.
Yukari only frowned at him. The other three meanwhile had mixed expressions on their faces.
"Why don't you just throw it into the trash can, Senpai? Perhaps it's no more than some kind of bad drawings!" Yukari suggested.
"But we don't know if there are hidden messages to be revealed or something else!" Kaito replied.
"We don't even care if there hidden codes or not, but please don't waste our times with such useless things!" Yukari insisted.
"Yukari got some point in there, nya!" Iroha said.
"Fine! If you guys are not going to help me then I'll do it myself!" Kaito snatched the paper as he walked away from them.
Kaito then slammed the door shut.
"Typical Senpai" Yukari sighed.
"Can we continue our game, nya?" Iroha suggested.
...
As Kaito walked alone across hallway, his eyes kept staring upon the paper.
He felt very sad when Yukari and the others refused to help him. However, he had to think of some other way to solve this mystery.
A few seconds later,he noticed the smell of instant noodles. And the smell directly came from the laboratory.
Kaito knew it. Komachi must been inside the labrotary right now. He quickly reached the door.
And much to his own joy, Komachi was eating the noodles with Rion inside there.
"Komachi! Rion! Good to see both of you!" Kaito exclaimed.
"Is there something wrong, Senpai?" Komachi asked as Kaito joined them.
"Guys, look! I just found this paper! In front of Music Room!"
Komachi then took the paper.
"Rion, would you mind to have a look?" Komachi asked.
Komachi passed the paper to Rion.
"Wait...what is this?" Rion was half-shocked.
"I even don't have any idea about that!" Kaito was clueless.
Rion carefully examined the writings on the paper.
"If I think again..."
Rion then looked at Kaito.
"This letter is probably extraterrestial in origin" Rion speculated.
"Extraterrestrial? What do you mean?" Kaito gave her a dumdfounded stare.
"The aliens send this letter to us!" Rion exclaimed.
"ALIENS!?" Kaito was horrified.
"Yes! But I'm afraid if this letter was some kind of warning to us!" Rion said grimly.
"What are the aliens going to do then!?" Kaito asked in worry.
"Perhaps they want to kidnap our students and use them for their vile experiments" Rion answered.
"Oh no!" Kaito's face drastically turned pale in fear.
"Then what should we do right now!? The lives of our students are in danger!" Kaito was panic.
As the three of them were thinking, an idea just popped out in Komachi's mind.
"I have an idea!" Komachi exclaimed.
...
The current time was 9PM.
Except for the night class students and their teachers, most of the school areas were devoid and empty.
Meanwhile, Kaito with his buddies - Rion and Komachi choose to stay at the school for some reason. Also recruited to join the "mission" was Chika, the school store clerk and her assistant, Rana.
Except for Chika and Rana, the rest of them were armed with shinais, just in case if something bad happens.
"Alright..."
Chika was using her binoculars to observe the school's surroundings.
"Have you seen anything, Chika?" Rana asked.
"Everything's clear. No hostile anomalies spotted" Chika said.
As they kept watching from the upper floor's windows, they suddenly spotted a mysterious guy with a black hoodie and a red beanie walked towards the main building.
"Who's that?" Kaito was a bit shocked.
Chika checked the person with her binoculars.
"It's Fukase" Chika said. "Sometimes he goes to cafeteria to do some cleaning stuffs"
"Phew" Rana wiped her forehead in relief.
"I'm thirsty" Kaito sighed.
Kaito slowly unwrapped his lime-flavored popsicles.
"Shall we move to another area?" Rion suggested. Perhaps those space maniacs are hiding somewhere"
"Better we stay here for a bit longer. They might showing themselves soon" Chika replied.
"Alright, I'm just sticking to everyone's decision" Kaito only licked the popsicle.
Chika then took her fishing rod. Attached on the fishing hook was a pack of potato chips.
"The aliens might love potato chips, perhaps we can use this to lure them" Chika said.
"Great idea!" Rion's eyes beamed in excitement.
Chika lowered the hook to lure the aliens. Unfortunately...
"Caw! Caw!"
A stray crow skillfully snatched the chips away, much to her own frustration.
"Forget it..." Chika sighed.
"Maybe we can try again next time" Rana said.
"Okay, what will we do next?" Komachi asked.
"Well..." Kaito began to think.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Kaito and the others were surprised when a certain teacher just appeared behind them.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentleman!" it was Meiko, she only glared at them with suspicious manner, with her arms crossed on the chest. And there was a notebook on her left hand.
"Mei-chan?" Kaito smiled awkwardly.
And also with Meiko were four students from 3-D Class - Ena, Kanade, Airi and Shizuku.
