Just as I was about to get into the real reason why I invited them here, my phone rang. "Moshi moshi, Mayuko speaking."

"Yuko-San, I heard Aomine-kun was bothering you."

"Oh, don't worry Tsuya-Chan! Satoshi put him in his place fast enough. Do you and your friends want to come visit as well? I have enough space for you and your other friends as well."

"Thank you Yuko-san, if you really don't mind us, I will gladly accept your invitation."

"Tsuya-chan! What did I say about calling me Yuko-san?" A sigh could be heard beyond the phone. "To call you Yuko-nee."

"That's right! Oh, and come quickly as well, the festival is going to start soon! See you later Tsuya-chan!"

"I'll see you later as well, Yuko-nee." With that, the line went dead. Turning around, I could see everyone's curiosity, half of them dying from wanting to know. Satoshi and Ryo-otouto, on the other hand, were only smiling knowingly, unconsciously ticking the rest of them all off. As expected, the hothead of the group spoke first.

"Who the hell is Tsuya-chan?" Aomine groused. I smiled sweetly at AHOmine, making him shiver for some reason. "Tsuya-chan is Tsuya-chan," I said. Everyone could hear 'duh' in my voice and half of them had to stifle their laughter. Aomine glared and opened his mouth to presumably yell at me, but his captain, Imayoshi-san, merely looked at him to shut him up.

"Anyway," I said, ignoring their byplay, "the Moon Banquet Festival is a huge deal for our school. Unfortunately, our principle changed at the last minute and today is the last day so things might be different this year." My mood slowly darkened as I spoke. Satoshi grabbed my hand to give me comfort, my mood lightening up a bit. "Sakurai-san," Imayoshi-san began.

"Please call me Mayuko. Calling both of us Sakurai might be confusing."

"Mayuko-san," Imayoshi-san corrected with a nod. "Is this principle the reason you called us here?" I shrugged. "Partially. I-we, don't know what might happen with him here, this could potentially be our last year at this school. I wanted Ryo-otouto's friends to experience the festival and relax before your big games as well."

"I see. Thank you very much Mayuko-san."

"With everything out of the way, let's go!"
