The next day, the man who arrived yesterday finally officially joined the group. He was Mr. Kaizen's neighbor when he lived in Kanagawa. His name, Sumi Osamu-with the code name Fox (Rubah).
"Well, please be familiar with ya~ "
"Good! "
Kaizen focused on her computer, looking for more information. Osamu sat to Kaizen's right and greeted Kaizen.
"Excuse me. "he said in a doubtful tone.
"Hm? " Kaizen turned towards him.
"Have you been here long? "
"Not really. I just joined 2 years ago. "
"Do you know Mr Kenji? "
"Yes. He's a film producer, isn't he? "
"Yeah. I'm Osamu, 25 years old. "
"Kaizen, 22 years old. Thank goodness our age is not much different. "*smile
"Yes. It's nice to meet you. "
"me too. I hope we can be friends. "
"Yes. "
Osamu looked relieved and started fiddling with his computer. Kaizen is not suspicious of Osamu, because he was once in Osamu's position. Kaizen only knew Mr. Kenji in the group, which is why no one spoke to him at first. But Kaizen is a fun person, he can find friends anywhere. All the members of the group also know that Kaizen is Daisuke's son, so Kaizen's goal is clear about why he joined the group.

The rain had subsided after pounding the Kansai and Kanto regions for nearly 3 weeks. Kaizen tries to contact Haruki.
But Haruki who was busy with his match was unaware that Kaizen was contacting him.
"Based on the boy. "*Kaizen murmured.
Kaizen tries to contact Noa.
(*Tokyo, at Hattori High School)
*drrt *drrrt
/vibrating phone/
"Np? "
"𝘒𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘬 "
"Uhhhh! Huh hello? "
Without a second thought Noa picked up the phone from Kaizen. Noa, who was painting with her friends in the art room, eventually walked out of the room to pick up the phone from Kaizen.
"Oh, Noa. How's it going? "
"I-I'm good..How about big brother? " *soft tone
"Thank God. I'm good too. "
"Thank God.. "
"How's school? "
Kaizen spoke on her phone as she walked to the train station.
"b-good. Nothing bad happened.. "
"so yeah. Did you eat enough? "
"Ehm."*nough
"Today I'm going home, are you home tonight? "
"of course. "
"OKAY. We're talking songs at home, yeah.. "
"Yes. "
Noa is nervous, she doesn't think Kaizen will be coming home soon.
"Noah..! Your picture is not finished loh~ "
"Oh, yes. "
"Noa your painting is cool as always~ "
"Well! What good is that painting? It only has color over meaning. You call that a painting?! "
"Hey.you're this. "
Noa regularly follows extracurricular painting and several art clubs in Tokyo. Some of the painters Noa met had private individuals like Noa. So that is what makes Noa feel comfortable and have a fairly wide friendship connection.
In the afternoon, Noa rushed home to get ready for Kaizen. In front of the gate, Satoshi picked up Noa. Noa who arrived at the gate told Satoshi that Kaizen was coming home soon.
"Uhs. But why didn't you call me? " *tomb Satoshi
"Hm? The satoshi? "
"Uhhhh! Sorry miss. We're going home now. "
"Yes. "*smile
Noa can't wait for Kaizen to arrive. Noa never thought that her brother would come back. Noa knew exactly how his two brothers were.
Noa's thinking about the world has not changed. It's just that Noa is more daring to talk to every ghost she encounters. Be it a bad ghost or a good one. Satoshi and Ayaka are two people that Noa meets as good creatures in her haunted house.
Some people think that Noa has a mental disorder, some think that Noa is a child who likes to make his own imagination. Noa realized everything, in Noa's eyes they were red-colored ghosts with brightly lit eyes.

(*08.20 pm)
"I'm back. "
"Uhhhh! "
Kaizen's soft-sounding voice was again heard by Noa.
"Welcome back, brother. "
"Yes, thank you, Noa. "
"Hm. " Noa hugged Kaizen
"I'm sorry, Noa must be lonely. "
𝘈𝘬𝘶 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘬 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘦𝘴𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪 𝘬𝘦 𝘖𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘢. 𝘒𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘬𝘪𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘬𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘩.
The warm embrace of Kaizen is what makes Noa feel better. Noa needs a hug as an emotional reliever.
Kaizen stroked Noa's head gently. Satoshi brought the bag and food Kaizen brought into the house.
"No, I'm cold. Let's go inside. "
"Uhs. Excuse me.. "
"Haha. No papa really. "
.

(*afterwards, in the house)
Kaizen looks at the trophies and awards that Noa has earned over the past 2 years. Starting from the science Olympics, painting competitions, art competitions in Japan.
"I saw you on the news, it's an incredible achievement. I'm amazed at you. "
"Thank you brother. "
"I'm really sorry Noa, for leaving you alone. "
"Sister, there's no need to apologize. I was fine as long as my brother left. Besides. I know. brother.. left because he wanted to free father. "* hesitant.
Kaizen smiled and stroked Noa's head.
"Thank you. "
Kaizen smiled happily at the grown-up Noa. Kaizen is worried about Noa entering Hattori High School.
Hattori High School is a subscription to Trixie Entertainment in search of talented girls. Beautiful parasites, ideal body shape, clever, everything is in Hattori High School. Moreover, at this time Noa has entered the media. Kaizen is worried that Wakatobi will recruit Noa to be part of Trixie Entertainment.
Kaizen doesn't want that!
Kaizen does not want her sister to suffer the fate of her mother who has suffered from her salary that continues to be corrupted by superiors, managers who are not concerned with the health of models, and presidents who are crazy for wealth.
Entertainment has many dark sides.
"Sister will stay here? "
"Yes. I can't leave Noa anymore. "
Noa smile..
"Yes."*cough
