Izochi threw his bag on the bed. The neat room was to become like it was before again.
He pulled the chair beside the desk on the right side of the room and sat on it.
His sitting position was not his usual pose of aesthetic.
He looked tired; every single part of his body was screaming. His face was facing the roof. His eyes were unsteady. His hands were thrown away and had no connection with his brain.
Izochi grabbed a notebook from the desk and put his head on it. The notebook's cover was soft, so it didn't hurt his forehead.
The outside night was just like that of his dream. The silver moon was shining with the same brilliance. The stars were shining with their own.
And under that marvelously shining night sky, a boy was sleeping. His face became innocent, free from the darkness of the world; he looked free from everything.
Izochi's eyes opened up slowly. His vision slowly started to become clear, but didn't clear properly. And it wasn't meant to be clear, as he slept the entire night on his hands over his book.
His face was facing the right side, his usual sleeping position.
He slowly turned over his head, grabbed his right hand on his hair as if he had a headache.
Izochi looked outside through the window, left to his bed. It was already morning. But the sun was not clearly visible.
Instead, it was emitting blurry light. As the sun was covered by the clouds in the sky. But the clouds were not rainy.
The clock on his table was saying the time was 8:30 am.
"I can't believe I slept this long, for about twelve hours."
Izochi said.
Twelve hours is too much for any regular person to sleep. But since Izochi already had a long journey, his body needed rest. And it became for twelve long hours.
"I need to change my clothes first,"
He felt the need to change his dirty clothes. Though they were not dirty at all, they were so in Izochi's eyes.
Izochi put on a regular outfit: a top with a long collar that covered his elbows and a pair of bottoms reaching his ankles. The top was much too loose for his body.
Izochi considered wearing the black coat he brought yesterday, but decided against it. Just then, Chihiro entered the room and greeted everyone warmly, saying good morning.
"Good morning, brother."
Her face was really bright compared to that of Izochi's. There was a smile on her face, and that seemed to be pure.
Izochi gently smiled and put his hand on his sister's head, covered by the long, thin black hairs, with affection.
Chihiro is currently in the 7th grade. She normally wakes up at dawn. Freshens herself and then prepares breakfast for three of them. Sometimes, she even gets help from them.
The breakfast Izochi had gone to see was very normal to them. Some bread and soup. It is a little higher class than the normal people of District A, but also not enough to be called 'higher-class'.
Izochi and his siblings can get these good foods even after having no parents because of their parents. They had saved a large amount of money and also had vast property.
Yet, their parents seemed to lead a normal life, because they liked it. And this wealth is used to lead their life by the Evernight Club.
The breakfast table was the same as always. With Chihiro and Akari's childish behavior, it was always warm. And with Izochi's coldness, it had a balance.
Izochi left for the club, finishing his meal.
"Have a good day."
"Have a good day."
Two wishes for him.
Izochi was walking through the city's streets. The city was not all bright, but a little dark because the sun was covered.
Izochi had worn no dress, which could reveal his 'Exorcist' identity, but it had no secret intention. Just that he liked a normal outfit.
This time, the club didn't welcome him with red or blue, but rather with green. It is considered the color of life. But who knows the intention of this continuous change of color in the lower floor?
Izochi didn't find anyone out there on that floor to meet. So, he just sat on a sofa. His expressions and body language were totally??? usual that nobody can doubt.
He waited there silently for a while. But there was nobody. He started to feel bored. After a while of boredom, he tried to take a nap.
The reason Izochi can't go up is that he is doubting whether he is permitted to go up alone.
Suddenly, Izochi felt a presence beside him. It was Angela. She didn't make any greeting. Directly saying,
"Your mission to clear Raygin wasn't complete, was it?"
Izochi looked a little surprised not feel her coming. But he continued,
"But wasn't that a taste mission?"
Angela touched the corner of her lips with her index finger. And pretended to think something, looking up. She replied with a sweet voice,
"Hmm, maybe you are true. That was a taste mission. But, now this is a new mission, if you ask."
Izochi didn't understand the meaning of this. But he didn't say it.
"I see. But where is my partner?"
"Well, I don't know about that. As he didn't come here this morning. But don't worry, you will for sure meet him in the previous place of Raygin."
Izochi really wondered. He asked,
"He knows about this mission?"
"Yes, he knows. You will know about the mission in your place."
Izochi looked down. And said,
"I guess I should go now. As I have no duties now, I can finally spend some time with my family."
He stood up and started to move to the gate to exit the club.
Angela called Izochi from behind,
"Izochi, you should call me 'big sister' or 'sister', as you like it."
