The tgirl quickly noticed and gave the three of them brief looks before replying. "Oh! Ohayou Kei! Tadashi!" says the girl, soon enough she was joined by another boy. The same person she was with at the rooftop.

The boy had a different color of hair in the center and in all honestly, he was just the same height as Hikaru. Is he a first year? asked Hikaru inside her head.

The boy gave the three of them weird looks, exchanging between her and the two. "Oya, it's the first time I've seen you two with a girl." He teased, wiggling his brows up and down whilst looking at the girl. "Haru, don't you think she's someone's girlfriend?" he nudged the girl beside him trying to get second-hand support from her.

The female shrugged giving him a weird look, "Well maybe, why do you care though Yū?" is her simple reply, which leads to the boy sulking in one corner, drawing circles on the floor and a gloomy aura surrounding him.

Is he okay? Hikaru thought, worried about how strange he's acting. "Um, you have it all wrong," Yamaguchi spoke up, trying to clear up the misunderstanding of going to school together with the girl. "She's not my or Tsukki's girlfriend. She's-" he got cut off by the blonde himself, pulling the girl closer to him.

"She's my servant" he answered nonchalantly as if it's an inevitable fact. "Introduce yourself busu (ugly)" She flinched, nervous facing yet another person.

Haru couldn't help but feel bad for the girl on the receiving end of Tsukishima's stingy attitude. Wondering again, if this junior of her is a sadist or not.

The younger female bowed in front f her, "...ohayou gozaimasu Hoshiumi-senpai..." she greeted in a soft voice, which the latter found extremely adorable. Her bangs covered most of her face but the older female could tell that she was a beauty under that. "...I am Izayoi Hikaru... goshujin told me a lot of things about you and he really admires you..."

She got interrupted when the tall blonde boy pulled her away, covering her mouth and eyeing her sternly. "Oi busu (ugly) I thought I told you to just introduce yourself. Stop rambling about unimportant things" he warned, wishing that his senpai didn't hear what his talkative servant just said.

Koharu opened her mouth to speak but was cut off when the green-haired boy butted. "Oi Tsukki, Hikaru, classes are starting already. We should go" he bowed in front of the third year before grabbing the hands of his friends, "We should get going Haru-senpai! See you later at practice!" he flashed a bright smile before dragging the two away.

Yamaguchi mentally slapped himself for what Hikaru just said earlier. For all he knows, Tsukishima must be thinking of ways to punish this girl for her loose lips. He awkwardly looked at the pair from behind, they're being awfully quiet and that was another reason for him to he nervous.

"Tsukki—"

"Shut it Yamaguchi" interrupted the blonde, knowing that he must be worried. The tall boy looked over his shoulders and called the attention of the girl beside him. "Oi busu"

Hikaru hummed and kept her eyes front. Even now, students would give her angry and envious looks for walking beside this tall handsome creature. Shrugging the thought off, she waited for her master's reply.

"I was thinking what kind of punishment I should give you" answered the blonde, placing one hand under his chin, thinking seriously. Yamaguchi couldn't help but gulp in fear.
Hikaru, you messed up big time.

"...what for...?" an oblivious question from the girl, giving her master a weird look.

Even Yamaguchi sighed heavily. The blonde scoffed, "You're an airhead. Too much for me to handle" he says shaking his head and walking faster.

Of course, Hikaru hasn't got a clue as to why her master stormed off just like that.  She whispered to Yamaguchi, "... what's his problem...?" she asked.

The green-haired boy chuckled softly, "It's probably you, at the moment" he replied, understanding how his friend always feels whenever he talks to this girl.  From what he heard from Tsukishima, this same person is the one who gave him a serious talk last time. He couldn't see it right now.

"...me? I wonder why..."

Hikaru could only shrug at the reason before running off to catch up with her master. But the reason for her sudden out of this world retorts is because of her sister.

She's been asked to drop out of school, to prevent their secret from getting out. And her sister is insisting that she does it before  third year.
