October 26th, Thursday.
The morning wind showcased the chill of autumn, making those who wanted to look cool automatically add another layer of clothing.
The siblings left home together.
But the distance between them quickly widened.
Tetsuji was entirely focused on meeting Yoshikawa Sayuri at school, with no intention of walking side by side with his sister.
This was a habit he had developed over many years.
Before he became a Treasure User, Tetsuji maintained a rebellious status, attracting numerous discontented people who came to fight him every day.
To avoid involving Hojo Shouko, the siblings hadn't been going to school together for a long time.
Hojo Shouko watched as her brother's figure disappeared from view, her pace steady as ever.
She was pondering the words Ayatsuki-senpai said last night.
Said her skills were still immature.
Not sufficient to compete alongside Ayatsuki-senpai.
