Kei who was doing some research on the Drama Club members, suddenly heard his phone ringing. When he saw that he had a message and it was from Emily, he quickly read it. The contents of the message he received was different from the message Emily sent to the other club members.

She messaged Kei saying that most of the members of the Mercenary Club were going to Rachel's house and will be having a sleepover. If Kei wanted to come, he was welcome to join them. Emily even sent a picture of Rachel's house along with the address.

When Kei saw this message he started thinking, if should go or not. It was a pretty hard decision for him to make. On one hand it was already pretty late, and he wasn't sure if his parents would allow him to go. On the other hand he did join the Mercenary Club, so that he could change, and be more than what he was.

"Screw it! You only live once right?" After he was done motivating himself, Kei took a bag and packed his school uniform, his toothbrush, and other things he thought he might need. Once he was done packing he went straight to his parents room, and told them what he decided to do.

Kei was expecting a lot of things, but what his parents said were not one of them.

"Sure you can. Your friend Emily already explained all of this, over the phone." Kei was shocked to hear what his father just said. Emily actually called his parents and was able to convince them to let him go. He was silent for awhile and was scared to even think about how Emily did all that, and seems to be in good terms with his parents.

...

As Kei was still shocked by his father's answer and while some of the other members of the club plus Evangeline were heading straight to Rachel's house. Rachel had finally finished cleaning her room, and was ready to let Alex in, but before he could enter Rachel handed him a piece of cloth.

"Use that to blindfold yourself." Alex complied since he already agreed to do this. Once he was done blindfolding himself, Rachel let him in.

"You can stay in this corner. Here are some pillows and a blanket if you need it." Rachel then proceeded to guide the blindfolded Alex to a corner of her room.

"I don't really need any of these, but still thank you." Alex who was handed some pillows and a blanket placed those things on one side, as he sat at the corner of the room.

"I know, I have no right asking this. Seeing as I told you to blindfold yourself, but can you sleep in that kind of position?"

"It's alright, because I don't plan to sleep. I stayed here to protect you. How can I do that if I'm asleep?" Hearing Alex's ever serious reply, Rachel felt both bad and touched. Bad because she was the cause of him doing this. Touched because Alex was willing to be blindfolded not sleep, and protect her. He was doing all this for her.

Rachel then stood up and pulled on Alex's arms. "I guess if you want to protect me better, you should be nearer to me... You know just in case." Rachel guided Alex to sit at the side of her bed. She knew she was being weird by giving him a blindfold, but also placing him so close to her. Yet she couldn't help it, this was a first for her, to feel this way. She wasn't sure how to act with this kinds of emotions.

She wasn't sure what to do, and she was just going by what she felt was right at the moment. She was also beings stopped by her embarrassment, which made it doubly hard for her to decided what to do.

"Here you can hold my hands, so that you're sure that I'm safe." Alex wanted to say that he didn't really need to hold her hands, since even blindfolded he can pretty much sense the surrounding area. But he decided not to, since it feels like Rachel wanted to do this.

As Rachel felt Alex's warm hand holding hers, she felt secure. It was like all the anxiety she had awhile ago just disappeared. Feeling safe Rachel was now slowly falling asleep, that was until she heard someone ringing the doorbell.

Alex who also heard this stood up, he removed the blindfold and looked outside Rachel's window. There in the front door of the dojo, Alex saw twenty fully equipped men, and a familiar looking face.

Rachel too looked outside the window and saw Evangeline. 'What's she doing here?' When Rachel thought of this question, she proceeded to look at Alex, and was able to answer her own question. She could also guess that either Sayaka or Emily told Evangeline about this.

Evangeline who was ringing the doorbell, looked up and saw Alex and Rachel. The two of them were like Emily said inside the same room! Evangeline who saw this almost fainted on the spot. She looked at Alex and Rachel with her eyes almost bulging out.

Evangeline then started to calm herself by thinking that she wasn't too late. It looks like they were still dressed. When she was done calming herself, Evangeline forced a smile as he waved at Alex and Rachel.

...

Alex and Rachel were now face to face with the creepily smiling Evangeline. "So what are you doing here Eva?" Rachel asked a bit miffed, that her alone time with Alex was interrupted.

"Emily messaged me, that you were being targeted, so I brought twenty of my family's best men. With them around you could sleep even more soundly."

"It is unnecessary Evangeline. I alone am enough to protect Rachel." Rachel blushed when she heard what Alex said. Evangeline on the other hand was on the verge of crying, but she stopped herself. The twenty men Evangeline brought, didn't know Alex and felt quite offended by his statement.

"Still Alex, having more men in the vicinity could prove useful. Don't you think so?" Evangeline tried to convince Alex, but it was to now avail.

"Like I said I alone am enough." When the twenty men heard Alex's indifferent voice, saying that they were unnecessary, like he was so much superior than them, it made the twenty men extremely angry.

"Ojou-sama I think this boy is overestimating his abilities. Why don't we forcefully relieve him of his duty, so that he could rest." When Evangeline was about to scold the man for saying something so stupid and rude. Alex moved before she could say anything.

Like a flash of lighting Alex was now in front of the man who spoke, as his finger was about ready to poke the man's throat. The man and his companions were shocked at Alex's quick movement. The man who spoke was even more shock to feel the extreme pressure radiating from Alex.

"Like I said you guys are unnecessary. Also how long are you going to hide there, Emily." Emily who was watching the show from the roof of a neighboring house, jumped down in front of Alex.

"I wasn't really hiding. I was just waiting for you to finish." Emily smiled her mischievous smile.
