Kariya wasn't surprised to find this week's Game Master sprawled out near the top of one of his junk heaps. The first one had appeared overnight, but now that Sho had decided to take a few days off, they were popping up everywhere and each one was getting taller.

"Enjoying yourself?"

Sho tilted his head back to see the orange haired Harrier sitting on a ledge above him, the usual lollipop stick sticking out of his mouth. He closed his eyes and relaxed against the scrap metal before he answered with a simple 'of course'.

The view of Shibuya really was amazing from the top of the heap; it was like sitting on top of any of the higher buildings, which wasn't an unheard of thing of reapers, especially Kariya. And yet, it was completely different, but it was hard to figure out why this was so different.

"What about you?"

Kariya chuckled, leaning back on hands. "I don't mind a few days off, but I think Uzuki is going to lose it. Is this your plan for the rest of the week? Just making these…junk heaps and not issuing missions until the last day?"

"It's not a junk heap."

That was not the answer the Harrier was expecting, but now he was curious. He leaned forward, his forearms resting against his thighs as he peered at the mathematician. "Well, what is it then?"

"It's art."

A simple answer, said as if it were the most obvious thing in the entire world. An obvious answer that needed to be explained a bit more, as made obvious by the long pause from Kariya. Sho sighed.

"It may seem like a simple junk heap, but there's so much more to it! It's an equation perfectly balanced and solved. Every angle is precisely measured and the whole object is very carefully calculated. It won't collapse, it's perfectly sturdy, everlasting and, of course, zetta beautiful."

Kariya turned to look at the remainder of the heap above them, eying all the pieces of the other's heap, beginning to notice the careful arches and isosceles triangles. How perfect the few right angles are. Maybe there was more to this pile of junk than there appeared to be.

"So, you're saying…its art?"

"Positive."

"Like, a sculpture?"

"Correct."

"And you did this whole thing, and all those other ones with…?"

"My hands and eyes, basically. Just carefully stacked and all measured in my head."

"Well, aren't you full of surprises Minamimoto."

"Guess so Kariya."
