"I See...."

[ Surprised by him knowing who she's referring to and his plan about it, she quickly stands up and asks. ]

"Wait, what?? How– Wouldn't that be–??"

[ The glowing girl composes herself by taking a few deep breaths, dimming the glow in both of her hair and eyes back to brown before asking the man her question. ]

"......If that were to happen after the trial on my end, can I be there with you?"

"....Um, hi.

It's me, again."

[ She greets you as her hair glows white and her eyes in blue as she looks down in dejection. ]

He lights a cigarette, and then leans back against a chair.

“Hello. Do you need something?”

He offers a gentle smile.

[ She snaps out of her daze when he asks that question. ]

"O-oh, umm....."

[ She thinks about it for a moment. ]

"Hmmm.....If I'm not mistaken, I'd say...... around medium, give or take."

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

[ Mayari's hair glows into white, while her eyes glow into white and blue separately due to the surprise of this. ]

"Oh, you're one of Allie's friends?"

Oh no, how am I gonna introduce myself without scaring her friend off with my talent? But since Allie told him about me, I should be fine, right???

"I-I'm Mayari. Mayari Sadélle.

I'm the..... The Ultimate Test Subject.

Nice to meet you, too."

"Of course, I'd come with you again! I think whoever investigates certain areas should bring at least one more person. Not only to solidify their alibi, but to also cover more ground and find any additional details.... At least, in my opinion..."

"Umm...hi, Hazel, it's Mayari. Are you okay?"

-🌙🪼

[ Hazel looked up at Mayari, nodding. ]

“ … A… ah, yes, Ms. Sadelle. I’m doing well for the time being… though, the previous few events have been… staggering, to say the least. I sincerely apologize for not being more helpful during the class trial, I’m… not very experienced when it comes to… events like this.

…That doesn’t matter. How are you doing, Ms. Sadelle? Do you have anything else you wish to talk to me about? “

[ She tilted her head to the side, waiting. ]

Valentine's Day aftermath 💌🌙🪼

"Whew, that was a heck of a party. Good thing that it wasn't that chaotic in a bad way......Hm?" As Mayari walked into the room after the p

White Day aftermath 💌 (2)🌙🪼

"Well, that event was something.... hm? Another note?"

When Mayari walked into her dorm room to change her attire, she found another gift and note. From the closer inspection, the handwriting seems to be similar to the one she received the night she came back from the Valentine's Day party. And once again, there was no name of the sender.

"Hmm.... this certainly isn't Cherri's handwriting, unlike the one when she gave me the dress earlier.... Let's see what my secret gifter has to say this time....."

She muttred under her breath as she opened her letter, and it read:

"Mayari, I see that you're taking care of my gift from Valentine's Day well. Hope you don't mind having one for White Day. I saw you eyeing on this while we were all on an outing and getting shy about buying it, so I did it without you looking. I hate to admit, it was pricey..... but since I started this whole charade with you, I guess it's worth it as long as you like it. Speaking of, I've been seeing you being more open to others and starting to accept that you deserve to have good things in life. That doesn't mean that I'd stop gifting you secretly though, since you still haven't figured out who I am. Just thought I'd have to remind you in case you forgot. One more thing to tell you, I didn't say this in front of you before, but during the party at Valentine's Day..........you looked beautiful back then and that hasn't changed even after that, and even now."

As she finished reading the last sentence of the letter, her hair was already glowing in white, her eyes in white and blue separately, and her face completely flushed red. Folding back her letter and placed it onto her table next to the vase with the Lunar Tear in it, Mayari fanned her flushed face while trying to steady her hearbeat as her thoughts run frantically in her mind.

This has to be an ongoing prank! There's no way that there's someone who's thinking of me this way and started this whole thing with the secret gifts and letters, unless..... Do I have a stalker in this academy? Is it someone from the research facility who's trying to observe my actions or to take me back? Is it someone from the academy who wants to mess with me? Or is it.....do I actually have someone who genuinely feels this way and I'm just blind to see it yet?

After taking a couple of deep breaths, the glow in her hair and eyes began to dim down. Finally calm from the chaotic thoughts, she realized she hasn't opened the gifted box to confirm her suspicions. So Mayari untied the ribbon and opened the box......

......and found a silver hair ornament, resembling a flower with unique patterns. She got put off by this, not because of how beautiful it is up close, but because this is the very item that she eyed on but turned away from buying during one of the outings with her classmates, just as the letter told her.

Although her suspicions have been partially confirmed, Mayari feels like she need to investigate this......"predicament" even further. Which reminds her.....a certain event involving a musical is coming up soon, maybe she might put this new gift to use in that event. But until then, she needs to find clues around the academy about her secret gifter. She laid down on her bed, placed her hand onto her forehead, and sighed helplessly slight frustration.

"*sigh*......... I might have to need some help, I hope they're patient with this...."

"E-eh?"

[ Surprised by his question, she could only look at him as she keeps wiping her tears away. ]

*Sigh* I love that silly snake man with his intrusive thoughts

[ Mayari's hair and eyes dim back from glowing white to brown as she thinks about her answer. ]

"Hmm.... I thought it was risky for me to tell them that at the time since we just met at the time and I have...... an unsettling upbringing. I partially told them my reasons, of course, and let them call me the Ultimate Enigma for the time being. but when the Tozu Trinkets,"

[ She unfurls one of her sleeves to show something that looks like a watch. ]

"This watch, started to show everyone's profiles, including mine a day later, I knew my true talent would be discovered one way or another. So, I basically confessed to everyone about that. I thought they'd be furious at me because I wasn't brave enough to admit that on the first impression, but they didn't. They just accepted that and understood why I did that, one of them..... even called me "honorable." "

[ As she says that last sentence, her hair glows back into white. But this time, her eyes glow into blue to indicate her sadness. ]

To Mayari,
