'Gojo-san! Gojo-san, may I have a moment of your time, please? '

Shiki pauses, and turns around at the call of her name.

It 's been quite some time since she 'd last seen Ichinose Kiichi, one of the Tokyo students who 'd inadvertently been wrapped up in the incident involving Araya Souren last year. Their last encounter would 've been ' sometime before Shiki 's suspension, at least. She doesn 't recall it, exactly.

This would be the first time that she 's seeing him again this year. Which is unsurprising; fourth year students are more or less treated as full-fledged sorcerers in preparation for their imminent graduation, and Ichinose is the sole remaining fourth year student of his class. From what Shiki knows, Ichinose has been kept quite busy ever since the school year started.

So what brings him back to the Tokyo school all of a sudden?
