Naegi's branch we're celebrating for their new employee. Kazumi and everyone is preparing for their foods while Yuri is busy cleaning the office. Meanwhile, Misato approached Naegi and talk to him.
[Misato]: Naegi, We nees to talk.
[Naegi]: Oh, if that's about Yuri's room then let her in your room.
[Misato]: Yeah it's fine but, it's not what i want to talk about.
[Naegi]: Ummm, What is it?
The atmosphere between them suddenly change.
[Misato]: Remember the Kidnappers of Canna?
[Naegi]: Yes, Why is it?
[Misato]: When i saw the culprits, i noticed that they are wearing some kind of symbol.
[Naegi]: Hmmm. I noticed that too. But why bring it now?
[Misato]: I saw the same symbol on Eiji. I accidentally saw it.
[Naegi]: It can be coincidence, right?
[Misato]: I hope so.
Kazumi went to their room to get kitchen utensils when he saw Yuri cleaning the office. "Ummm, Yuri? You don't need to work today." Yuri looked down, "No, it's my job. You and everyone save me after all." Kazumi suddenly thought something, "If you really want to work, Why not cook with us? It's fun." Yuri looked at Kazumi smiling. She couldn't say no to him so she agrees. She puts the broom aside and join them.
After finishing the cooking, Kyousuke called Naegi and Misato while everyone prepare's the table. Shiina and Yuuki felt nostalgic.
[Shiina]: We did this before in the beach.
[Yuuki]: Yeah, And now we have another employee joining us.
Yuri felt happy when she heard those things. "Ummm, Thank you for a... Accept.. Ing me. I'm looking forward working with you." Everyone smiles at her that it makes Yuri blushed.
[Kentaro]: Now everyone is here, Let's eat!
[Everyone]: Thank you for the food.
Everyone happily eat their foods. Yuri also felt happiness when he saw everyone happy. "I'm glad that everyone is happy." After eating, Everyone rest for a while. Naegi asked them "After resting, Go back to your work." Misato pulls Kazumi out of the crowd.
[Kazumi]: What is it?
[Misato]: What do you think of Eiji?
[Kazumi]: Eiji? The former partner of Yuri?
[Misato]: Yes
[Kazumi]: I don't think i can say something bad on their back
[Misato]: Actually, I saw him wearing a symbol same with the kidnappers of Canna.
Kazumi was shocked when hearing that. He is afraid that Misato makes sense since Eiji's eyes that time is filled with bloodlust. "I'll bring you despair." Kazumi was spacing out but Misato shaked him back to his senses.
[Misato]: Kazumi!
[Kazumi]: Ah, Sorry i just...
[Misato]: Something happened in that meeting right?
[Kazumi]: Yeah, I felt like he wants to take revenge on me. I'm not also sure what he said but i think its "I'll bring you despair".
[Misato]: Thank you for that. For now, Take care.
[Kazumi]: Yeah.
Yuuki was curious about what they talked about. "What did you talk about Kazumi?" Kazumi smiled weirdly while scratching his head. "No, It's nothing." Yuuki notices that he looked pale but never bothered to asked him about it. Yuuki felt that something is going on that she doesn't know. Before Kazumi enters the office, he saw Kyousuke leaving again.
[Kazumi]: Where are you going right now?
Kyousuke is startled when Kazumi suddenly talks in his back.
[Kyousuke]: I will just... You know.
[Kazumi]: Can i ask you something?
[Kyousuke]: Sure, What is it?
[Kazumi]: Is what you're doing more important than our work?
[Kyousuke]: I got permission to Naegi and Misato but no one knows about it.
[Kazumi]: Can you tell me what is it?
[Kyousuke]: Come with me, I will just explain it to Naegi later.
[Kazumi]: Hmmm, If that's what you want.
Kazumi went with Kyousuke. Kyousuke bring him to a coffee shop far away from their office. Kyousuke asked him if he want's a coffee.
[Kyousuke]: Want some coffee?
[Kazumi]: Yes.
[Kyousuke]: Got it.
While Kyousuke is buying coffee, he suddenly thought that it's something important. "I have a feeling of sincerity out of Kyousuke, But i don't know what is it." Kyousuke went back to their table and give him the coffee.
