Mizuki P.O.V.

"Nina, which one do you like?"

I ask her when we are in one of the famous bakery shop in Harajuku district, after we finished up our meeting with the clients at the nearby office building.

Nina seems to be contemplating her choices, making me chuckle.

"You can choose more than one, you know."

Her face brightens up when she hears me.

"Really, Ms. Hoshiko? Can I? But I'm getting fat from all the treats from you."

I laugh when she points her body.

"You can always start dieting. Now go and choose. Remember get some for Alex too."

Nina happily nods and goes to the other sections to choose for the other varieties that the shop offers. Meanwhile I'm leaning forward to check their cakes in the glass display and decide to buy some for Meiko san and the others.

"Can I have 2 of the strawberry shortcake and a cheese cake?"

I ask the shop keeper which she happily nods and prepares my orders for me.

After I finish up the payment, Nina and I walk out from the shop to find Sanzu standing next to Alex. I raise my eyebrow when he comes to me.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here because I miss you."

Sanzu gives a big hug, making me laugh.

"Uh oh so you're the needy type now?"

"Uh oh so what?"

Nina can't contain her laugh so Sanzu frowns at her.

"Go back with Alex, Nina. I'll bring Hotaru back to office later."

"Alright, I'll leave first with Alex then. See you, Ms. Hoshiko, Mr. Sanzu."

She bows and leaves with Alex.

"So even my assistant listens to you? Mr. Sanzu?"

"Of course, because I can make people listen to me."

I snort at his remark.

"How did you know I'm here?"

"I asked Alex. Since I'm out to do some errand for Mikey, I decided to drop by."

I hug him back.

"Well, I miss you too."

I whisper to him, making him laugh.

"But why are you frowning?"

Sanzu asks when he releases me.

"I don't know. I just have this uneasy feeling."

I explain to him while rubbing my forehead.

"Hoshiko sensei?"

I hear someone call out to me.

I recognize that voice. Is this why I felt so uneasy since this morning? I turn around to see Iida, Nakamura and Watanabe sensei not far from where me and Sanzu standing at.

"Is that really you? Are you Hoshiko Mizuki?"

Watanabe sensei asks in disbelief.

Before I give them a reply, Sanzu takes my hand and smiles at them.

"I'm sorry, I think you're mistaken her for someone else."

I chuckle at his sudden politeness.

"But isn't Hoshiko sensei died because of an accident?"
