**Outside the cafe, Nobuko and Chino decided to head out to home where Arcane and Izumi wanted to hit there secret place. Secret place was river shore under the bridge when in the way of Arcans's home, they all used to come there regularly at the time of elementary school. They also named that place as "NICA" by using first alphabet of there first names.
Arcane was confused that why Izumi out of blue asked to go there "Are you sure, you wanna visit NICA? You know it's already late."
"Yes, I wants to discuss something important from you." Izumi replied
**On the way to there secret place, Izumi and Arcane doesn't had a conversation... it was all quite in a cold day, Slowly Arcane could feel the pressure on the air which was little frightening for him. Arcane was wondering is he still angry on him, because of earlier? Arcane tried to start a conversation by saying awkwardly "nights are getting colder lately, even when there is time for winter" Izumi just nodded over that which was the end of there conversation. They kept walking towards there secret place and when they arrived Izumi enthusiastically Shaked Arcane**
Izumi joyfully "So what's the plan?"
Arcane was confused "Ahh? Which plan?"
Izumi replied "Did you forget about our promise? That you ask Chino out?"
Arcane was embarassed "Oh.. that, I do remember that but I haven't planned something big."
Izumi annoyingly "So how do you gonna confess her?"
Arcane thought for some time "I guess. I will just ask her out before our main event, Test of Bravery."
Izumi was disappointed after listening such dull plan "yeah and? So you literally don't have a plan. Ahh and you call yourself lady's man.... Well I knew it so I and Nobuko have planned something for you both, so just bring Chino here after that bravery test... We wil be waiting for you both"
**On the other place, Chino and Nobuko were walking home together**
"You kept on smiling after you get to know that Arcane was one who came up with that shrine idea." Nobuko smirked
**That made Chino flattered but she doesn't answered to her as she knew Nobuko is just trying to tease her and just nodded over that. Despite there Nobuko wanted to tease her more so she started talking about all the stuffs where Arcane is good or bad on the way home, after some time Chino couldn't hold herself and she started blushing just after listening Arcans's name and that Nobuko noticed it and started laughing. Chino gets irritated by that and people around them also started noticing them because Nobuko was intentionally taking Arcans's name loudly, Chino pulled her and took to the park**
Chino yelled "Why are you talking about only him?"
Nobuko laughed "Look yourself.. hehe..You are all red. Why? Tell me."
Chino fumbled "It-Its.. just because of winter."
Nobuko giggled "You sure?... Wait! Don't tell me you have feelings for my brother's best friend."
Chino said embarrassingly "N-no I don't have. And why are you mentioning Arcane strangely, he is also one of my childhood friends like you and Izumi kun."
Nobuko replied "Just friend?..You were always bad in lying."
**Chino angrily bite on Nobuko's hand so she stop hear teasing**
Nobuko in pain "Ok, I won't tease you more... But be ready for tomorrow, there is something going to happen tomorrow."
**After that they both parted there ways for there home , Chino was thinking about the thing which Nobuko said "something going to happen" Actually she has idea about that but she doesn't want to jinx her by telling herself again and again. She spend her whole night thinking about Arcane, Where Arcane also couldn't sleep and was waiting for tomorrow... Everyone was wishing with there full hearts and waiting for the tomorrow's morning**
