Life at Rosemary Academy is like venturing into uncharted territory for one Rin Grayson. In his 15 years of existence, he never once attended any school just like any other exceptional children who started their lives in the Brotherhood. His education was provided by the agency which includes curriculum even more advance than the standards of what a normal school has to offer. Aside from that, it also boasts training in various martial arts, deep psychology, and the skills necessary to survive in a life-threatening mission.
It's a refreshing experience actually, away from anything that might take his life in a blink of an eye. Still, never would he have thought that he would get to experience this…
This feeling, such pure bliss, remarkably like the sweet taste of strawberries appreciated for its delectable aroma, juicy texture, and unmistakable sweetness.
And we are not talking about the food here.
The kiss with Meiko is truly an eye-opening experience for Rin Grayson.
We find four students together inside room 74, the humble abode of the new resident of Butterfly dorm, Rin Grayson or in their case known as the blue-haired girl that is Rina Mayfield. They are all gathered together at the dining table shortly after the rather… exciting moment.
Since school hours have officially ended this day, the girls are now sported in their casual home attire.
Keana, the violet haired girl of the three was seen with a light blue girl top that compliments very well with her well-rounded figure and with the words BOSS being written on it. She also wears simple dark blue shorts that emphasize her shapely legs and a pair of green slippers.
Kana wears a set of cotton pajamas. Her black top accentuates her well-proportioned body and long pants that cover her heavenly thighs much to Rin's dismay.
Meiko, despite being the shortest and least developed of them all did not become even unattractive in the slightest. Her sleepwear consist of a yellow sleeveless shirt which greatly manifests her slender, nice-looking arms, and a white polka dot shorts that beholds her petite, short legs.
The violet haired beauty of the four grinned in a sheepish manner "I said I was sorry!!".
Kana not being convinced in the slightest told the girl. "Then spare the two of the humiliation and delete the pictures."
Keana, her eyes being defiant answered. "But, but the scoop Kana!! The scoop!! Think about the publicity, the fame that the newspaper club will garner. Oh, I can hear it, Orange girl seduced transfer student into submission, locked into a passionate wonder of watery lip touching goodness!!"
Meiko simply retreated her face in embarrassment, her eyes locking on the floor as her face redden deeply when she recalled the feeling of Rin and her kissing.
Rin shared the same feeling but on a lower scale seeing as his face tries to remain stoic and is not as red as Meiko throughout the conversation.
Kana twitch in annoyance, her smile turned into something that even demons feared and pulled Keana's ear into submission. "Oh, we'll get the fame alright, as the school that promotes explicit intimate behavior of the same gender!!!" Kana then paused. "Not that I have anything against it of course but you get my point."
Keana cried comically. "Ouch, Ouch!! Alright, alright sheesh." Kana released Keana's ear, much to the latter's relief. Keana then took out her camera and deleted the pictures. "There happy!?"
"Charmed." Kana nodded, her smile turning bright.
Rin merely sweats drop at their interaction.
'It seems that they are close friends together with Meiko as they came together here after all.'
Kana then turned to the other two, more specifically at Rin and clapped her hands apologetically. "Please forgive her Rin. Despite her bizarre antics, she is a good girl."
Rin chuckled. "It's fine. No harm done, I guess?"
Keana then approached Rin and merely grin as she offered a handshake. "Sorry about that Rina. The name's Keana Blake, your resident photographer slash news reporter of Class 1-D. Nice to finally meet you on a personal level!!"
"Rina Mayfield, your resident transfer student, a pleasure." Rin smiled and Keana giggled at his response.
"Ah yes I almost forgot the reason we are here!!" Kana nodded and her eyes twinkled in excitement.
Keana reacted at what Kana said and took out her bag as she pulled out its contents consisting of various snacks, cooking ingredients, and a 1.5 liter of soda.
"We are here to welcome you to Rosemary Academy!! Let's have a slumber party!!" Kana declared with utmost enthusiasm.
"A slumber party?" Rin's head tilts with confusion.
Keana's face was filled with shock. "Wait you don't know what a slumber party is?!"
"I only heard about it but I never once experienced it."
Rin's answer caused the girls to widen their eyes in extreme astonish. Heck, even Meiko snapped out of her embarrassment upon hearing this.
All eyes are now on Rin, their gaze seemingly piercing right into his very soul.
'What the heck? Did I offend their great ancestor or something?'
Keana attempts to clarify the blue-haired beauty as she held his shoulders."W-wait really? You mean you never had a sleepover with friends?"
"Hahaha no?" Rin's answer caused all of the girls to look at each other.
'Well me camping out with my fellow agents during a mission does not exactly count. Especially when we had one of our eyes open at all times.' Rin thought as he reminisces his days in the field where some missions last for days and even months.
Keana released her grasp from Rin and facepalmed. "Girls, this is truly a dire situation, a state of national emergency!! We need to show her the ways of the Slumber Party!! My goodness, I never would have thought I get to encounter a girl your age who never encountered a slumber party, never!!"
While Keana was once again crying comically, Kana offered Rin a gentle smile like a mother consoling her heartbroken daughter and hug her.
"It's okay Rina, the years must have been hard for you."
'The heck?' Rin was definitely puzzled and failed to see how all of this is some sort of a big deal.
"Really Rina? You really never had a slumber party!?" Meiko finally spoke and tap her shoulders.
"Let me explain." Rin said and the girls, very intent on listening to his story.
'Tsk, this sure is troublesome and the looks of pity from these girls are not helping!!' Rin thought and he sure as hell can't tell them the real reason why he never had one. The Brotherhood doesn't do Slumber Parties!! Hmm, maybe only the female agents though and maybe that finally explains why he never had one and during Saturdays nights, Chameleon seems even busier than usual.
With a sigh, he decided to play along. "I was homeschooled recently until now. I never really bothered thinking about such things hence the reason why I don't exactly have many friends and me being a bit good at my studies, I decided to not even bother but it was this year that my cousin realized that I need the exposure outside to function as a normal human being who socialize with people on their age. So I guess that's that."
'Feed them with half lies. My home is technically the Brotherhood, I never overthink such trivial matters, and I'm only friends with a handful of Agents and that's not very plenty. I never bothered about it, and my supposed to be cousin… my freaking blonde boss of a bombshell, Lucia Mayfield gave me this mission.'
As Rin's turned his attention back, he noticed that the three of them are… crying?
"Oh, that's… that's so sad!!" Keana wiped her tears and faced Rin with a determined look. "Don't worry Rina, I no… we promise that we will make your very first Slumber party a very memorable one, one that you will never forget until the day of your funeral!!"
"Hey, hey don't go killing her off!!" Meiko scolded Keana.
"Uh… thanks?" Rin could only say, daring not to even press the issue and he let them do whatever that is that they are going to be doing tonight.
"Yes, you can count on us Rina!!" Kana smiled brightly and the four of them began a night of fun.
__________________________
We find a certain female agent who has a hair of two colors, pink and black separated by half. Unlike her last appearance with Rin where her hair is styled long and straight, she is now styled in a twin-tailed manner and wearing a long white coat that covers her pink suit and brown skirt.
She is also together with the Lion, the leader of the B.S.S. Dawn Branch, Lucia Mayfield as they are on a break chatting with one another in Lucia's office.
"Chameleon, do you think that Ant will be alright in this mission?" Lucia's face was filled with a little bit of worry, thinking about the mission that she has assigned to Rin.
Chameleon, her cute face flashing a grin. "Of course boss!! He is after all the Agent with a 99.8% success rate in all his missions. I'm sure he can handle some bodyguard duty to a girl his age."
"That's not what I'm worried about." Lucia sighed and added. "As the supervisor of this branch, it is my responsibility to brief an Agent about what he or she is going to expect when performing a mission to increase the success rate, and it seems that I failed in this."
"What do you mean boss?" Chameleon is genuinely confused.
Lucia pinched her nose and then she said.
"I forgot to teach him how to be a normal teenage girl."
__________________________
Slumber Party.
As defined in the dictionary, it is an overnight gathering especially of teenage girls and is usually held in one of their homes
Also known as sleepovers, or a pajama party, it is an event where young girls enjoy a night of fun-filled with various fun activities like eating snacks together, watching a movie, setting up the karaoke for a singing showdown, games, and pillow fights.
It is also considered a rite of passage for young women or teenagers as they begin their journey to assert independence and develop social connections outside the immediate family.
Hence the reason why the three girls insisted that Rin or Rina in their case must partake in such happy activity.
Meiko is the only one of the three girls who know how to cook, volunteered to do so as she gathered the cooking ingredients inside Keana's bag and bring them to the kitchen.
"Huh, never expected for her to know how to cook." Rin commented and is impressed as he saw Meiko surveying the ingredients like a true expert.
Kana smiled at his reaction. "Looks can be deceiving. She may look like a child but her skills say so otherwise."
"Yep, Meiko is just that awesome!!" Keana flashed a toothy smile.
Meiko looked at the ingredients and after a short while, nodded as she figured out what to cook.
"I guess we are making spaghetti, I'm not sure why you thought of bringing pasta but whatever." Meiko said as she looked at Keana.
"That's because your spaghetti is so good, like the feeling of ecstasy savored in every bite." Keana simply answered as her smile grew even wider.
Meiko blushed at the praise and crossed her arms. "I suppose spaghetti it is. After all, I want to show Rina the wonders of Spaghetti goodness."
"Aw, you're so cute!!!" Keana hug and rub her face on Meiko.
Kana and Rin laughed at them as Meiko struggled to break free from the violet haired girl.
"Let go!!" Meiko finally broke free from Keana. "Sheesh, just let me cook in peace."
Keana smiled sheepishly and went back to the dining table.
As Meiko began her preparations in cooking, Rin could not help but be amazed by how she handles the ingredients.
'The way her hands move shows no sign of wasted movement, and her expression only expressed pure focus, and her eyes behold such passion that she pours her very heart and soul in every action. Sure I'm a capable cook that knows an above-average amount of dishes due to the fact the Brotherhood trained us to cook as part of our survival training but the way she handles herself is leagues way beyond than any trained agents. Perhaps a more elaborate observation should be advised? After all, she must belong to Kana's circle of close friends and if that's the case perhaps I should extend the privilege to Keana as well.'
Rin's final thoughts were drawn into Keana as he looked at her and it was not gone unnoticed by the violet haired girl as she just lights up a friendly smile.

After the long wait, the spaghetti is finally ready and served on the table.
"Here I hope you are going to enjoy it, especially you Rina." Meiko said and looked at Rina with anticipation.
"Trust me, she's really good. In fact, why don't you get the first bite." Keana offered and Kana agrees with her.
Rin nodded and look at the dish in front of him. It looks like an average spaghetti, nothing out of the ordinary. There's the pasta, cheese grated, and the spaghetti sauce.
The three girls look in suspense as Rina took a bite at the spaghetti.
This…
Upon the first bite, Rin felt soaring through the heavens, the delectable sensation of the spaghetti sauce in perfect mixture with the pasta that is optimized with the faultless texture and temperature and also coupled with just the right amount of cheese greatly compliments with one another to create the ultimate Italian cuisine!!
"Meiko..." Rin could only say her name as the orange-haired girl await his reaction. "I will only say this, the guy who you'll be marrying will be the luckiest bastard ever to born. You will make into a great wife!!"
"I, I see..." Meiko's face was red with embarrassment as Rin infatuated by the spaghetti now begun to devour it.
RING!!
"Oh, that's mine." Kana took out her blue smartphone with a pink key chain strapped and look at it. After a while, her expression gradually turned sour. "Sorry girls I have to leave, it seems that father has some important thing for me to do."
"Awww but the party has just started." Keana pouted with disappointment and Meiko shares the same feeling with her.
"I know, I know, but father seemed rather insistent. I promise I'll make it up to you all!!" Kana bowed down apologetically and the girls simply nodded in understanding.
"Alright, I guess we can live without you. We can still make this a memorable night for Rina!!" Keana declared and put her arms around Rin.
"Thanks and I'm sorry again!!" Kana then turned around and left the room.
"So..." Rin said and look at the spaghetti that is supposed to be for Kana. "Is no one going to eat that?"
Keana and Meiko sweatdrop at Rin who has finished his share rather quickly and is now eyeing at Kana's spaghetti-like some sort of pig.
"S-sure, help yourself out." Meiko just smiled awkwardly and Rin without any hesitation took the food and gobbled indiscriminately.

Time passed rather quickly and it was already night time. Kana Erendal was seen walking at the grounds of Rosemary Academy all by herself.
'I swear father sometimes has the worst timing. How dare he interrupts a girl's slumber party!!' Kana thought, her facing pouting rather cutely.
As she continues her walk to the direction her father wishes her to go, she encountered a middle-aged worker sweeping the leaves on the streets.
"Good evening Ms. Erendal." The man greeted him smiling, his tone filled with the utmost respect.
"Good work to you." Kana acknowledge the janitor who is wearing a blue boiler suit.
The man simply nodded and turned around to continue his work, sweeping more leaves and putting in the trash bin.
Although Kana failed to see the man's rather devious smirk in doing so and in the blink of a moment, another man wearing a similar outfit crept Kana from behind and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, causing her to instantly faint.
"Good work Bren, now to bring our little mistress to the location." The janitor said and set aside his broom.
"Of course Will, and I must say she looks really delicious especially in personal. Can't wait to taste her hehehe..." The man Bren licks his lips in a perverse manner.
"If time permits Bren, if time permits..."
