'Hmm... Maybe I should disguise myself as a teacher? I can be a cooking teacher? They have that subject, don't they?' Mitsuki nodded to himself as his hand holding his chin. Both eyes were shut as he kept thinking of his plans for the day.

Since that day was their day off, he decided to investigate the mysterious girl, Aoi. To be honest, she isn't that unusual but because his other three members of their group have started to like the girl, he cannot help himself from doing a little bit of research on the teenager. He also wants to persuade Yamato, Sogo and maybe Nagi to accompany him. However, he wasn't sure if his friends would agree. After all, Yamato prefers to spend his time, drinking and Sogo will be busy with housework or perhaps, working as a gardener.

"Pfft!" Mitsuki cracked up when he recalled the memory where he saw Sogo was so engaged in gardening in front of their house. He almost thought that he was the gardener!

"Mitsuki, why are you laughing so suddenly?", Nagi asked, dumbfounded.

"What's so funny?" Sogo, on the other hand, spoke as soon as he took the seat next to him. In fact, the six of them were having breakfast and all of a sudden Mitsuki's laughter grabbed their attention. Iori and Tamaki exchanged glances with each other before the bright blue-haired boy got pulled on his arm by Iori.

"H-Hey, I want to know why Mikki is laughing." Tamaki protest, trying to remove Iori's grip from him.

"No, you can't. We both must go to school and you can know why after we go home," replied Iori who is still pulling Tamaki all the way to the front door of their house causing the boy to shake his head like a small child who didn't want to go to school.

"Hahahaha!" Yamato wiped away the tears at the tip of his eye. "So youth!" he said as he reached for the spoon to resume his breakfast back. "Sooo, why are you laughing again?" Yamato returned to leverage the topic.

Mitsuki waved his hand off. "Nothing but I just thinking about something... Do the three of you want to join me?"

Sogo frowned. "Join you? What do you mean by that?" 

Mitsuki smirked as soon as he heard the response.  "Hehe! I want to do some investigate on our little Aoi."

"Ehhh?! Why?" The three of them answered in surprise at what Mitsuki had said.

"Why on earth do you want to investigate about her?", Yamato asked with a frown. He took his cup of tea and inhaled it slowly, enjoying the soothing aroma of the tea. He thinks back on his short friend's words. Why all of a sudden? He tried to think of a reason why he made such a decision until he recalled the conversation between him and Mitsuki last night. 'Is it because of that!'

"You want to know why Iori likes that girl, don't you?"  Yamato suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation of the three of them. Nagi and Sogo looked at him with their eyes wide open.

Mitsuki sighed, face-palming. "He isn't alone. Riku-kun and this man here too," he said while pointing his thumb at Nagi.

Yamato spat his tea, coughing lightly. Sogo passes a tissue to him. "No way. You too?"

"What? She's cute and who doesn't like cute girls?"  Nagi defends himself with soft pink colour dusting his cheek.

"Uhuh..." The other three answers.

"Well, it sounds like fun. So, I guess I'll join you," said Sogo, giving his short friend a small smile. "What about you Yamato?"

The green-haired diverted his eyes away before sighing softly. He rubbed the back of his neck and answered 'yes' which in turn, got a happy shout from Mitsuki as he punched his hand high in the air. "But! I want everyone to join, including Riku and Nagi."

"Don't worry. I already set myself that I want to join Mitsuki from the beginning," Nagi answered back proudly. The three of them laughed, learning his answer.

Even so, not until a moment later, Riku comes closer reaching the four of them. "Join what?" His face looked perplexed at the situation. As far as he can remember, he had just left the room to go to the toilet and as soon as he returned, he only found that the two teenagers were gone and his name was mentioned.  What is happening actually? "What do you guys are talking about?", he asks.

"Oh, Riku! Come join us. Take your seat." Nagi patted the empty seat next to him. A wide smile was etched on his lips, making the boy feel uneasy. It was as if something bad was about to happen and the assumption was indeed correct. After hearing the explanation from Mitsuki about their mischievous plan to investigate about Aoi, Riku somehow feels hesitates whether he wants to join them or not. It is true that Yamato wants them all to join it but is it okay though?  The act of spying on others sounds quite unpleasant.

"So?" Mitsuki's waiting for his answer. His face looked rather impatient. The red-haired let out a small sigh. "I don't know. Should we do this? Okay, as Mitsuki-san said earlier... I do want to know her more closely but isn't this kinda... Like, the wrong way?" He asked, hesitantly.

Mitsuki was silent, slightly impressed by his words.  "Hmm..." He held his chin. "It does seem like it's wrong but we aren't malicious."

Yamato nodded. "That's right! After all, this life needs a bit of spice and challenge, don't you think so?" He raises one of his eyebrows towards him, slightly challenging him.

"Sigh! Alright, I'll join you guys..." Riku said defeated.

"Yosha! Let's do this," shout Mitsuki, jumping up from the couch.

"But wait, do you have a plan?" Riku said asking the older man.

"O-Oh..."
