Ten minutes before the appointed meeting time, Ikki silently got out of bed and left his room, doing his best not to wake Stella. He strode across the deserted hallway and headed outside. Using the light of the moon to guide him, he went to the main school building and beelined for the window he’d unlocked earlier in the day. Once there, he crawled through the window, his heels clacking loudly as he landed on the ground.

It was creepy seeing this normally busy building so deserted. He walked up several flights of stairs, then opened the heavy iron door that led to the rooftop. The pale white moon was quite bright tonight, allowing Ikki to see the full expanse of the dreary, gray concrete roof. It was surrounded by a tasteless chain-link fence. A gust of wind blew past—one that was surprisingly cold considering summer was right on the horizon.

Ayatsuji Ayase was standing at the other end of the rooftop, her back leaning against the fence. She was wearing a plain yukata.

“Yo. Haven’t seen you since we went to the pool, Ayatsuji-san.”

“Yeah... I’m sorry for skipping out on our training sessions even though I’m the one who asked you to teach me.”

Hmm?

Ikki noticed that there was something off about the way Ayase was acting. She was looking right at him, but her eyes looked empty, as if they were unfeeling glass beads. Recently, she’d been able to meet Ikki’s gaze more often without blushing, but even on the day they’d gone to the pool, whenever the conversation had died down and their eyes had met, she’d still awkwardly looked away. Ikki had figured it was just natural for someone who wasn’t used to men to be like that. That was precisely why he found it odd that she was able to meet his gaze so easily right now.

It wasn’t so strange that it was worth pointing out, though, so Ikki decided not to mention it. After all, that wasn’t what he’d come here to discuss.

“It’s fine. It must have been weird knowing we’d be dueling each other next.”

“Thanks for not getting mad. Also, thank you for coming alone like I asked. But are you sure you should be going out by yourself at night to meet a girl when you already have a girlfriend?”

“Oh, you knew? Well, just don’t tell Stella. She’d throw a fit if she found out.” Ikki shrugged and started walking toward Ayase. “So, what did you want to talk to me about?”

Ayase fell silent. Ikki couldn’t tell if she was having trouble putting what she wanted to say into words or if it was for some other reason. Her glassy eyes gave nothing away, making it impossible for him to read her thoughts. But standing there and not saying anything would accomplish nothing.

“If you’re having trouble saying it yourself, mind if I ask you something instead?” Ikki changed tactics, but Ayase stayed quiet. He decided to interpret her silence as a yes and cleared his throat before asking, “You mentioned before that something important had been stolen from you.
