Fuyuki warned him one thing "Yamada-san, maybe… the next target will be you."
Those words from Fuyuki made Kei wary and scared. "What if that really happened?" he thought. Kei didn't ask further when it would happen either sooner or later.
Until after school, in the midst of his family's dinner, Kei just looked down languidly thinking about it.
"Why, dear?" his wife asked Kei.
"Ah~ nothing," said the silent Kei to his family. But now his wife patted her husband's shoulder lightly.
"If there's a problem with your job, tell me." His wife said gently, "Who knows I can ease your problem."
For Kei maybe his wife can only calm his mind.
"...." Se when everything became silent.
Kei finished his dinner first. Then he turned to his wife and said seriously, "If I disappeared… how would you feel?"
"Eh why.... all of a sudden...?" His wife could not continue to speak instead put on a face with a look of anxiety.
"Where's daddy going?" said the second child, "Papa won't go away, will he?" said the little boy logically (understandably still in grade 1 junior high school)
"Hm," Kei smiled faintly, "Papa won't be lost anyway." Kei said with a faint smile to lighten the mood.
But Kei's first child and his wife feel Kei's anxiety at this time.
Kei couldn't sleep, Kei's eyes refused to close even though it was late at night.
He tried to calm himself by going out of the room to the kitchen and getting a drink of water.
At that time, Kei's eldest son had not yet slept, he went to his father....
"Papa… what are you feeling…."
"Oh, Shu. You have not slept yet."
"Is that a company problem?"
"Not really." Kei replied with a serious face.
....
"Papa… if you have a problem, allow me to help you." Kei said seriously.
"No, this is an adult affair that has nothing to do with you…."
"What adult business? In the end your boss is a child (Fuyuki Shu means)."
"Oh, he's different again."
The two of them then sat on chairs in the dining room and faced each other.
"Shu, you take care of your sister. You're right, my boss is now a kid. But he, his mind is more mature than you. I don't want my children to be dragged into this problem, it's just me who disappears."
"Disappearing you say? Where are you going?"
"I'm just speaking of the worst possible. However, I believe he can handle all of this and it seems… I'm putting too much pressure on him." Kei didn't realize all this time that Kei could be dragged into the magic resonance problem but because he has a shield inside, it might not work against magic.
Fuyuki must have thought of all that when Kei told him.
....
Kei stood up then reached for his son's head, he stroked it gently... "Shu, sleep..."
"Well." Shu just looked down contemplating feeling unable to help his father .

The next day, April 12, 2012 ....
Fuyuki started busy as student council president, he started patrolling by putting an emblem on his left arm as student council president, assisted by Miura who directed all of this.
The patrol activities he started after school, by looking at the activities of the clubs registered at this school.
Some clubs are active and some are passive.
An active club, a club that has many members and starts its activities as usual.
Passive club, a club that has few members and its activities are limited. There are approximately 8 passive clubs running at this school. Usually clubs that have few members and are threatened with no activity should be disbanded. However, Fuyuki with a firm attitude asked their club president one by one.
Finally found the same answer ... they do not want the club disbanded.
Fuyuki returned to the student council room with the other members.
"Hmm… how about this?" said Miura even though he was a more experienced senior, the decision was in the hands of the chairman.
"Hmm... let's just leave it at that." Fuyuki said seriously.
"Well." All members agreed.
....
Fuyuki realized that his positions as class president, student council president, company director, and division master...all were very difficult if he didn't make the right decisions.
In Fuyuki's true heart, she didn't want the position of being the chairman or the highest office holder at all… but because it was forced to fulfill someone's request.
Fuyuki was about to go home, he stared blankly at his shoe locker.
This time he would go home alone without being with Hiyori and Mawaru.
It feels lonely without the two of them.
But, from behind the locker there is a girl who wants to talk to him privately.
The reason why Fuyuki is so lazy to open his locker is... ever since he became rank 1 then rumors spread and now he's the student council president... lots of love letters are lodged in his locker.
Yes, being the student council president really made him popular.
Fuyuki also opened Hiyori's locker who got a love letter because of his good looks, but Fuyuki thought if Mawaru knew Hiyori was this popular...she would be furious.
Let it be.
"Now how should I reply to these letters?" he muttered, for a moment Fuyuki's mind wanted to explode! He just had a languid expression looking at the letters.
But there is a letter that looks different....
It's black, not like a love letter... what's in it?
Fuyuki opened it... instantly he was wide-eyed in surprise opening its contents....
"Tch!" He snorted and then slammed the locker shut.
"Is this a threatening letter?" he thought...then Fuyuki walked slowly towards the place the letter promised.
....
He arrived....
Again in the Auditorium
"Why only here? Who called me this anonymous letter?" In Fuyuki's heart who suspected all of that.
'TAP TAP TAP'
Someone approached him....
Fuyuki who had just entered the room was silent in front of the door where he was standing and waiting for the person who called him to come out.
Seen....
"You ...."
A sweet and beautiful girl with blonde hair.
"Kana-san? Why?"
"Go-gomen Ma-matsuda," she said very nervously to Fuyuki while fiddling with her finger. "Ano-ne… sono… gomen..."
"Mou ii!" Fuyuki distanced himself from Ayami so disgustedly, he thought this was just a game. But Ayami managed to grab Fuyuki's hand. Without being able to leave him Fuyuki was silent, turning his head with a very disgusted look in front of him.
The contents of the letter were…, "To Matsuda Fuyuki. Today there is something very important I want to talk to you about. Now I'm in the Auditorium. There's no one but me here, I want to talk to you one-on-one. Don't invite or tell anyone when you want to see me. If someone else is following you and finds out about the two of us meeting, then your identity will be exposed. Believe me, come alone when you meet me. This is an order! Otherwise, you will die. I'll be right here waiting for you, waiting for your arrival anytime. Sender, Nameless."
"This! Did you send this letter?"
"Yes ...."
"What do you mean by sending a letter like this?"
"Sorry, I said I'm sorry. I actually just wanted to know about you, we haven't talked much when we were friends with each other, and you seem different from my previous friends. Yes- that- you could say I want to know you-"
"You mustn't know that, Kana-san…." Fuyuki lowered his head down in front of Ayami.
"Yeah, it's natural for you to be angry. After all, if I make a regular letter , you can't possibly answer it."
In Fuyuki's heart "That's right." Instantly he sighed "Hah~" another troublesome thing came.
"So-about the letter, I'm sorry, I asked Momo-san for advice in advance on how to make a letter that the sender can reply to directly." Hehe, Ayami said with her stupid look.
Immediately Fuyuki put on a lazy face.
"B-but… I really wanted to get to know you… you turned out to be a great person at this school." Ayami said shyly.
"Etto ma' about that… I don't feel great. I'm just an ordinary person…." Fuyuki was modest, but in fact he was indeed a great kid.
"How should I say it... you could say I'm curious, I listened to your conversation with the headmaster before."
"Shouka, so you're eavesdropping huh, hmm… worth it." Fuyuki said teasing him a bit.
"N-no it's not like that, I overheard… he calls you 'Young Master' and from that I think he respects you a lot." Ayami said that honestly, but to Fuyuki this was a waste of time. Even the time has started in the afternoon before sunset.
"Why are you so curious about me?" Fuyuki asked seriously... "Did Momo tell you all about me ?"
" Because… I thought… you weren't an ordinary person." Ayami's words had some truth in it, instantly making Fuyuki flinch.
"...."
"Actually I've spoken privately with Momo, what's the relationship between the two of you?"
"Then what did he say?"
"He explained, we were just superiors and subordinates who bonded with friendship in childhood. I don't know why my hunch says… you guys are more than that…."
"Hunch?" asked Fuyuki in surprise.
"Yeah," Ayami answered seriously… "It's kind of like there's some message from inside of me that I should get to know you…."
****
If anyone found out about him, would it be possible for Fuyuki to be able to maintain all of his positions?
Even if I'm sick of it... even if I want to scream "Someone take my place!"
But..., deep inside... he had to deal with it alone.
