The dinner ended that night, and everyone gone to their room for sleep, Ken laid in his futon, he pulled his blanket on and falls asleep instantly, Chiho was still awake. She was eating on a America snacks Ken bought a day ago.
''Tasty'' she said, eating it quickly before Mira comes.
Meanwhile Mira was on the washroom washing her hands, she cleans and dry it in the handkerchief, walking in the hall way a sound reach her ears. Cling, crick. 'a gun?' she thought, It was faint but loud enough for her sharp ears to hear it, she followed the sound, her vines ready to strike but then she saw Renji and Mitsu talking and arguing quietly. She didn't pay attention and walk back to the room where Chiho had finished her snacks but Mira already knew, she didn't asked further.
The next day, everyone were still staying on the hot spring, Haida and his friends were chatting happily, Ken and his group were not really having fun, Mira was looking around the hot spring, Ken noticed but he didn't bother asking about it.
''Yeah, you're still acting all high even to this day, Haida'' Hitoshi laughed, slapping Haida hard in the back, Mitsu laugh at them while Kazuya and Renji were walking quietly, he was reading his novel while Kazuya was just staring, coldly.
''Hey look, a table tennis room, how about it? Let's play '' Hitoshi said, folding his sleeves with a smirk.
''Okay'' everyone said, after sometime Haida and Hitoshi were playing the table tennis, Haida was keeping up a good match.
''Go dad, you can do it" Haruka cheered from the side, Haida tried to do his best but he lost to Hitoshi after some more round, next was Hitoshi against Ken and Ken just smiled cause he knew what was gonna happen.
''Ready kid'' Hitoshi said, he served the ball gently. ''You can do it–" suddenly the ball passed beside his hand just an inch away from hitting his hand, the ball stuck into the wooden wall, Hitoshi turned back his hand trembling, Ken gave a imaginary blow to his paddle.
''Let's begin round 2'' Ken said, gripping his paddle gently, but Hitoshi takes a step back.
''I'll pass'' he said, Ken blink and he was taken by Haruka to a corner where no could hear them.
''Ken don't use your powers like that'' she scolded, he just gave her a goofy smirk and she just sighed before grabbing his yukata. ''I said don't use your powers'' she darkly whispered, Ken then nodded and went back with sweat pouring down his neck.
Time passed, and everyone were having their turn. '' I'm thirsty'' Mitsu said, putting her paddle in the table letting Mira take her place, now Mira was facing Ken, she grinned and her eyes glowed green.
''Time for revenge'' she whispered, serving the ball with bullet speed, Ken counter it and Mira was keeping on giving him counters at a high speed, the match was keeping on going. Hitoshi handed Mitsu water in a paper cup.
''Here'' he said, and turns back his attention to the heated match between the two. Mitsu then place her hand in her head. ''Mitsu is something wrong?" Hitoshi asked, noticing her wobbly movements.
''I'm feeling tired, so I'll go to sleep for now'' she said, turning back to exit, Hitoshi followed her supporting her wobbly movements. ''Thank you Hitoshi'' she thanked him, he just shook his head.
''There's no thanks between friends'' he said, giving her a reassuring smile. ''Hey, I'm going to take Mitsu to sleep okay'' he said, everyone nodded in acknowledgement, while their eyes stick to the heated match between Ken and Mira.
1 hour passed, Ken and Mira were still playing, the match was heated, Mira hit the ball fast but Ken bounce it back, Haida was cheering fo Ken while Haruka was cheering for Mira.
''You can't beat m–'' suddenly Ken was interruptedm by a sharp sound of glass falling down, he turn and Renji was on the floor with broken glasses.
''Sorry'' Renji quietly muttered, everyone walk up to him and help him to stand but the cup of glass were now broken.
''All the water are spilled'' Ryuji said, just then Hitoshi came back from the washroom, he look around and saw the water spilled on the floor, he takes a breath of relief.
''Thank god, no one's hurt'' he said, wiping the sweat off, after that Hitoshi and the others payed for the bill of the broken glasses except Mitsu who was sleeping on her room, the match continued for two more hours, until both Ken and Mira got bored and stop playing it, everyone clapped at the them, the match was so intense even the workers and other tourists of the hot spring stopped by to watch.
''Bro I thought you would beat her!!" Ryuji asked, disappointed at Ken. They were washing themselves in the hot spring now, Ken just thought for a moment and shrugged it off.
''I just got bored because of her stubbornness, if only I could go all out'' he gripped his hand tightly, crushing the rock into dust in his hand, Ryuji sighed before coming out from the bath.
The lunch was ready by the time both were done, they came and eat their lunch, but Mitsu wasn't there and Mira was acting weird, she looks around the room once every minute, Ken didn't pay attention to her but Chiho and the others were now worried about her.
''Ken don't you think Mira is acting weird'' Yuki whispered to him, Ken paused for a bit but he eathis food again ignoring Yuki's word. Haruka sat beside him and punch his thigh, Ken didn't feel pain but it was tickling.
''Okay okay'' he finally gave in, and turns to Mira. ''Mira can we talk after this'' he asked, she nodded acknowledging his words.
After the lunch, Ken and his friends were on the garden, lining in a circle. ''Okay why is wrong with your head today'' Ken asked, Mira look around and leaned in, everyone payed attention to it.
" I smelled gun powder around that room, and last night I heard some crinky sound, like it was a gun'' she said, but she didn't tell themshe saw Renji and Mitsu arguing to eachother, Yuki was now sweating, Haruka and Chiho were intrigued while Ken and Ryuji gave Mira a knowing stare. ''What!" She asked.
''There's no one insane enough to bring a gun to a hot spring, except you'' Ken pointed, her veins popped in her forehead and she gave him a powerful slap, Ken flew around the garden like a ragdoll and crashed into a tree, he got up and a hand print was printed on his face, it healed in seconds. '' i didn't lie though'' he said.
''KYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" a sharp scream filled with terror reached their ears, it was from the hot spring , Haruka turn her head to the hot spring but Ken and Mira were already sprinting toward it.
They reached the hot spring and quickly ran to the second floor, Mitsu's door was open and a worker was on the ground pointing her finger toward the room, Hitoshi came out from his room and walk to the door and what inside lade everyone shocked, Mitsu was on the floor, blood on the walls and a gun in her hand, her head was bleeding.
Ken entered the room but suddenly Hitoshi stopped him. ''Stop! She's already dead!!'' Hitoshi yelled out, Ken stopped, and came out of the room with his hand gripping tightly and eyes fixed on Mitsu's body. Mira stared at Mitsu head intently, then at the gun and the hole in Mitsu's head.
''I think she suicide'' she said, everyone turned to her, Mira turn back and walk down stair, Hitoshi checked her pulse, foot and hand.
''I think it has been two hour'' Hitoshi said, everyone were now outside, Chiho, Haruka and Yuki's eyes were closed and Ken was staring at Mitsu's head where the hole was.
''She really suicided'' Kazuya said, everyone turned to her, Ken was still looking at Mitsu's head.
'It isn't a suicided' he thought looking at Haida, Kazuya, Renji and Hitoshi muderer was either between them or the employees
