Yuume woke up and blinked. He didn't know, where he is and what he's doing here. He turned around and realised that he's looking at the receptionist again.
"Oh, are you awake?" the receptionist looked at him, worried. "Midori wanted to call the ambulance already."
"I'm fine" said Yuume, sitting up. "I'll call my brother and he'll take me home."
"Gin, how's our... Oh, Tansetsuki-san, you're alive" Midori appeared in the treshold. "Well, I've already thought that Gin is gonna go into labor out of of stress. Are you okay? You reacted like you were friends with Kin already."
Yuume sighed and pulled out his phone to message Tsuneo. Midori and Gin looked at each other.
"Have you been talking with him often?" asked Gin. "I mean, you should meet only twice. You've met twice, right?"
Yuume didn't answer. He wrote a message and sent it to Tsuneo.
"Midori" started Gin slowly. "Did you send someone too early again?"
"I just wanted..." Midori sighed. "I'll tell you later."
"You have to" Gin glared at her. "I'm sorry for my friend, the Guild tries to stop her from doing it, but..."
"Kin-san is a good person" Yuume interrupted her. "I don't care about the reason Midori-san sent me to him. I don't regret that I've met him."
Gin and Midori nodded.

Tsuneo took Yuume home. Midori and Gin led them to the door.
"Gin, go back behind the reception" they heard a rather high, male voice behind them. "We want to talk to Midori."
They turned around and saw two men. One was tall, the other one was a little shorter than him. They looked simillar: both of them had greyish brown hair and almost identical body shape - petite, but muscular. But their eyes' colour was pretty different - the taller man's were green and the shorter one's were orange.
"Of course" Gin nodded and left.
"We know, what you tried to do" said taller one.
He had black kitsune mask with green ornaments.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank her" shorter one scolded him.
His kitsune mask was also black, but had red ornaments.
"She broke the rules."
"But Takitsu could live" said the taller. "The fact that only the cause had changed..."
"That's breaking the rules" said shorter one firmly.
"Relax, Akai" said Midori. "Everything can change."
"What have you done again?" Akai glared at her. "Do you want to destroy our timespace or what?"
"Not me" Midori denied. "Tansetsuki. He still didn't pay the whole price. He just bought the potion and..."
"He fainted. I saw that" said tallest yubiwa. "It's possible that we can feel the cold of time changing soon."
"We felt that once and our brother is still dead" noticed Akai. "But if Tansetsuki still didn't pay the whole price, that means that he still has the bell."
"Is it bad?" asked his brother.
"That's good" replied Akai. "It means that he still can save him."
"I thought that you're against playing with time" reminded him Midori.
"If it breaks the rules, of course. But it doesn't" Akai shrugged. "Come on, Chirou. We should go home, before our last train departs."
"And before Furi is going to cut off my head" Chirou smiled brightly to Midori. "Karu has some show in the preschool tomorrow and Furi..."
"Chirou!" urged him Akai.
"I'm going!" replied Chirou. "I have to go or Furi will have to line up to cut my off head after my brother. Kounomi, slow down, your legs are shorter and you're still faster than me!"
And he ran after Akai.
Midori just sighed and closed the door behind them. Good that nobody was there, because if someone heard the three brothers' names, they all would be in trouble.
