7 Hours have passed. AMRITA High School did not perform the ceremony, because many residents were protesting in front of the gate.
 
 
Xylona asked one of the students, "What's wrong?"
 
 
"Yesterday the 22nd, there was a murder in this village. As usual every month on the 22nd, there will be dead, which is why our parents locked the door when it rained on that date. Usually the killer will come out with the rain."
 
 
Xylona digested the student's speech. His gaze was fixed on Erfrain who was also staring at him.
 
 
"When did the 22nd murder begin?" Xylona asked the student.
 
 
"It's been a long time, even before this High School was built. Perhaps long before Amrita Village really stood up," the student replied. He continued, "Usually the victim was a student at AMRITA High School. Some people think, if the victims were deliberately sacrificed for this school building."
 
 
Xylona felt that it all made no sense. But, he had no intention of refuting the words of his friend.
 
 
The doorbell rings. The students at AMRITA High School entered the class without performing the ceremony.
 
 
It is known that the murder victim was a 12th grader. His hand was found in the pemawahan by farmers. After the victim was declared missing on Sunday the 22nd, the parents of the victim immediately contacted the police, which is why Drystan and his friends left on Sunday afternoon to investigate the case.
 
 
After the hand is autopsied, it can be ascertained that it is the victim's hand. It's possible the killer mutilated the victim. In addition, a ring was found on the victim's middle finger. The ring is always found in every murder case as if the killer accidentally left a trace.
 
 
Today the citizens protested against the school, because they wanted the school to follow up on the case, they thought something was wrong with the school, because the victim was always a student from the High School.
 
 
Xylona played a pencil in her hand. He did not listen to the teacher who was explaining in front. The girl was deep in her own thoughts.
 
 
He made his own hypothesis. The 22nd day of each month, the victim of AMRITA High School, previously the same case even long before this High School was established, then this is the name of a serial killer case. But, Amrita Village was established 69 years ago. Means the killer was there before this High School was founded. It is thought that he was old enough to kill. How could that person not be caught at all? Should residents be able to anticipate if the 22nd there will be another murder, the police must investigate before the next murder occurs.
 
 
Looking at the dreamy Xylona, Erfrain touched the girl's shoulder. "You okay?"
 
 
Xylona nodded while showing the OK code with her right hand.
 
 
"Maybe you're surprised by what's going on here" Erfrain said.
 
 
Xylona nodded slowly. "Honestly, I was pretty shocked by this. While in town, there's never been anything like this."
 
 
Erfrain nodded then lowered his head. "I understand how you feel, you'll get used to this place."
 
 
Xylona smiled. "Yes, I hope."
 
 
After school, Xylona was waiting for her brother in front of the gate. He saw that the other students had already come home to be picked up by their parents.
 
 
Someone pat Xylona on the shoulder. The girl turned her head and saw Erfrain standing with his head bowed as usual.
 
 
 
 
Xylona laughing. "Why do you keep your head down, Rain? It's like you're talking to a stranger, aren't we friends?"
 
 
Erfrain did not answer. He switched the conversation, "Yesterday you bought me, now I'll treat you."
 
 
Xylona held Erfrain's hand. "Is that how you get a girl on a date?"
 
 
Both Erfrain's cheeks flushed.
 
 
At the same cafe, Erfrain ordered a drink. "I want some chocolate banana."
 
 
Xylona. "I am too."
 
 
The waiter writes down their order. "Please wait."
 
 
Xylona shows Erfrain her phone. "I'm really upset that there's no signal in this place, do you know the card that matches this place?"
 
 
"I can take you to the nearest counter. You can choose the cards that can be used here" replied Erfrain slowly.
 
 
Xylona nodded in spirit.
 
 
Drink's coming. When Erfrain tasted the drink, he fell silent for a moment. How could? How could I possibly feel it? This only happened when I was with this girl.
 
 
Erfrain's gaze was fixed on Xylona who was enjoying her drink.
 
 
** Flashback **
 
 
In the kitchen, Erfrain brews chocolate-flavored beverages. He also added sugar and honey. When he drank it, it was the same as drinking mineral water.
 
 
** end Flashback **
 
 
Xylona was busy with her phone. "I want to call my brother, is he home?"
 
 
Erfrain thought, who is this girl? Why is he different from the others? When he first saw her, she was like something warm and soft like cotton in winter.
 
 
"After this, we go to the counter, yes." Xylona's words make Erfrain's daydreams crumble.
 
 
The man nodded.
