[color=9966cc][i]"I see, so that's how it's, then."[/i][/color] Eris' expression looked bitter, a mix of disappointment and hatred. [color=9966cc][i]"It's only natural of those who have to rely on underhanded tactics to suspect of others' good will."[/i][/color] Nevertheless, Eris made a point of correcting her posture and putting on a neutral face. She had done what she came to do and that was enough.

[color=9966cc][i]"Did Yoshino Tsugumi just smiled at my direction now? At least it looks like this effort wasn't a complete waste."[/i][/color] Eris sighed, returning Yoshino's smile as the platinum-haired girl's expression eased quite a bit.

Eris patted her skirt, pretty much only to call attention to herself, before announcing her leave. [color=9966cc]"I suppose that I should take my leave now and let you prepare for your presentation. Just do me a favor, please. Don't let these go to waste. I would hate to see everyone's efforts ending on a random trash bin. [i]That's not how I wanted this Festival to end.[/i]"[/color] The last sentence to come out of Eris' mouth before she left the room came out as sort of apology, whispered in a way that probably only Eris would know what she said. After all, the usually harsh and next to impossible to deal with girl didn't wanted anyone to know that she was feeling a sting of sadness after the cold refusal.

And so, Eris went back to the Soleil. Or so she thought as she thought before bumping into a certain bored looking girl that had a semblance of Eris own looks... [color=9966cc]"Oh, apologies, I wasn't looking where I was walkin-"[/color] Eris' eyes grew wide when she finally looked toward who she had bumped into. [color=9966cc]"Gunnr!? What are you doing here?"[/color]

[color=steelblue]"I'm sorry, Goroshi-kun, I don't have time for that now. The Cobalt Bruisers and a good part of the Student Council are falling apart because of Bel-sama's insane orders. If I don't find her soon, I don't know what will happen."[/color] As Yuuno replied to Asahi, it was clear that she was distressed for having forgotten the big day. Even then, it wasn't like Yuuno didn't had her reasoning, right? Furthermore, there was no way in hell that Yuuno was going to go on a stage dressed to look like her Deep Ground Avatar, the dark-haired girl would prefer to be waterboarded than that.

[color=steelblue]"If even you don't know where Bel-sama is, Yoshinon, how am I going to find her? But, if I do, I'll be sure to bring her over an let you whack her. Maybe that'll put some reasoning back on Bel-sama's mind."[/color] Yuuno kind of apologized to Yoshino just as a speckle of blue coming from behind the stage caught her attention. [color=steelblue]"Is that...? Wait, come back here!"[/color] Yuuno shouted as she dashed after the blue specter, disappearing behind the stage as well. What the hell could Maribel want in a place such as that? That is, if what Yuuno saw was the elusive Blue King, to begin with.

[color=ffd700]"Heh, so that's it. If you boys get someone to top that, tell me!"[/color] Itsuko said as she hit a full court shot with reasonable easy, finishing her attempt at the Harley's challenge, feeling quite confident no one in Purple Crown had the physique to do eight half court and one full court shot in a row. What to say of a shool where P.E. was more hated than Math, after all? [color=ffd700]"Anyway, I think it's my time to go back to another dunk or two. If you guys want you can always come and try to get this Tiger here soaked. Not that it'll be easy, heh!"[/color] Itsuko gave the ball back to Aaron, marking her name on the list of contestants to the Red Guild's prize, before striding off to her own Guild's attraction.

[color=ffd700]"Now that I think about it, we don't have any cool prize on our own stand. I have just the right idea to cover it."[/color] Itsuko said to herself, once again talking her thoughts out loud.

[color=ffd700]"Hey, where's Boss?"[/color] The blonde asked to the first person she met once she arrived at back at the dunk tank, who coincidentally happened to be none other than Cassandra, who was there standing. [color=ffd700]"I had just the best idea for a prize, it'll be here any moment."[/color] Just as Itsuko said, a delivery boy came in bringing the prizes she bought, a couple boxes full of tiger plushies. [color=ffd700]"Do you want to advertise it? I'll get to my place now. Just get a sign saying that who can hit the target and drop whoever is on the platform get one of these. Five dollars for three balls. By the way, you can have one as well, we are guild pals after all."[/color] Itsuko pushed one of the plushies on Cassandra's hand, not really giving the redhead much space to deny it.

Only when Itsuko finished her long-winded explanation, took off her track suit, leaving her in a competition swimsuit (naturally the type approved for the academy's students) and got back to the tank, she thought of something. [color=ffd700]"Hey! Do I know you from somewhere? I think I've met someone who looks like you other day, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I'm Itsuko Kanzaki, it's nice to meet ya."[/color] And, with that said, began the wait to see if someone would hit the target this time, after all the whole morning only a couple people did it. Though, the offer of (almost) free plushies made the line get bigger slowly, mostly with lovers and family members trying to get a present to their significant others.

[color=deepskyblue]"Oh, yes. I'm enjoying it, mom."[/color] Enyo, better known by her nickname "Eins", because she was the first born between the two youngest of the Reinhardt family's progeny, answered her mother's question with a decisive tone. It had been a few weeks since Eins left for their home country, to recalibrate her prostheses as usual for every year, while she was in her growth period, but it looked like it was an eternity ever since then. The stories Eins heard about the treatment her sister was going through while she was away, made Eins incredibly sad and angered that she couldn't be here to help Eris go through it.

[color=deepskyblue]"By the way, if you want to see Eris, she must be around the Gym. We have each other's GPS data, as you know."[/color] Eins had a faint smile in her face. In fact she had quite a bit more than just Eris' GPS data and contacts. The older of the Reinhardt twins was quite a good hacker, even if she couldn't hold a candle to the likes of CC and the Sweepers heads, but that was not what Eins was interested in after all; she did hacking as a pastime, instead of a way to cheat at Deep Ground like everyone else. [color=deepskyblue]"Oh, and the Computer Research Society will be holding a quiz competition. I don't wanna brag, but we got quite a good prize for the first place."[/color]

To say the truth, if Hildr kept tabs f her daughter's credit card expenses, she could have a good idea of what said prize was, since Eins had recently bought a few cheap smartphones and tablets, along with the reserves for a family on a thermal springs spa hotel for a whole weekend and put all that under the name of Purple Crown's Computer Research Society.

[color=deepskyblue]"By the way, I know that Gunnr is here as well... somewhere but, do you think [i]that person[/i] came as well? I mean, I try to get him to come, but you can never be too certain. I swear, he and Eris are more like one another than any of us, that's why their stubbornness made them butt heads before."[/color] Eins gave out an exasperated sigh, before biting at the strawberry crepe she just got from the Soleil when they went through there.
