"Ichigo-chan?" Noami hid under a branch as she swung her flashlight around. After knowing that only a team of four was allowed, Ichigo's face turned pale, and immediately she ran from the room, Vanilla crying after her, only to return to Noami with worried tears. The next day there will be another test, this time a multiple question test followed by a real baking test. Noami felt his stomach turn just thinking about it. After quickly changing out of her pajamas, Noami texted the Sweet Princes to explain what happened, and sneaked out of the girls' dorm and was currently walking around. Small vanilla wings fluttered, holding a microphone. in his hands. "ICHIGO!! GET OUT NOW!!" “Shh!” Noami and Eclair immediately silenced the pink spirit. If the teachers knew they snuck out... Let's not go there. Ichigo pulled her legs up to her chest as she looked out at the lake. Her brown eyes were dull, empty of her usual life, as she sniffed loudly. Really, it was unfair. She also wanted to participate in the Grand Prix. She wanted to win with the A team. She wanted... She wanted to be like Obaa-chan. She wanted… so many things. She pressed her face against her legs, closing her eyes. She hates it. She knew the test result. There is no doubt that Kashino, Andou, Satsuki and Noami will succeed. These four are incredible.

Noami, standing long after fighting with Kashino, looks at Ichigo. "...You know, you're leaving me behind with a bunch of thugs." "Thugs?!" Kashino's eyes turned to slits. " Who the hell are you calling a thug?! " Behind Noami, Satsuki froze after being called a thug, while Andou laughed at it. “You obviously are.” Noami said in a neutral tone, before yawning heavily. "You know...I'm tired. Éclair. Let's go, right? You too Ichigo-chan, Vanilla-chan." Giving the Gentle Prince one last glance, Noami pulled Ichigo's arm and the two brunettes, followed by two Gentle Spirits, disappeared from his sight...
