The faint voices of our schoolmates echoed from the front porch, prompting me to pull away from Satoru as quickly as I could. The newly arrived Suguru sat in between us, poking the white-haired guy's forehead. "Don't harrass (F/n)-san, Satoru."

Satoru just gave him a blissful smirk. "You mean my wife?"

"Yes, your wife." Suguru playfully grabbed his best friend on a headlock. "You might be my best friend, but that girl's like a sister to me. You better take good care of-"

"Aaah~," Satoru teasingly moaned.

"Fuck, man." Suguru shot him a look of fake disgust and pushed Satoru away, causing Suguru himself to fall butt-first on the wooden floor.

"Oof!," Satoru snickered.

"The dumbass bisexual and the homophobic homosexual," Miura sighed. "Stop horsing around. Yaga sensei is co-"

Our instructor entered the dining area before Miura could finish his warning, smacking the duo with a rounded newspaper on their heads. "We'll have a meeting later at 6. The Kyoto students may stay. I already borrowed you from Gakuganji sensei for the timebeing."

"Eh? What for, sensei?," Kotone inquired. "Sounds serious."

"The curse users are making their move, so we have to decide ours sooner." Our instructor's face was clouded with displeasure.

"Then we gotta stop them if that's the case," Suguru simply stated, breaking the silence.

All eyes turned to him, even Yaga looked surprised. I mean who wouldn't be? The guy was just traumatized from our previous missions, but now he seemed nonchalant about it.

Err. So... I might or might not have forgotten to tell them that I commanded him to forget Riko.

"Yeah," Satoru added, probably noticing the sudden tension from me. I guess he already had an idea with the way my body reacted to excessive usage of cursed speech lately and Suguru's sudden lifted spirits.

Reminds me.

The situation was getting worse. More curse users were messing around the streets of Ginza and the said cult was increasing in terms number.

"Sensei, what is it that they want?," I asked when the two of us were in some distance from the others.

"They're planning something against the clans," Yaga answered, diving into deep thoughts.
