"It's there?" Tegoshi asked as he glanced up towards Masuda. Masuda blinked his eyes a few times before he pondered. "Yea, if i didn't remember wrongly..." he paused, and looked at Chinen and Daiki. "Yes, it's there. Quite long ago it was already there though,"

Chinen nodded and Daiki just placed his hands around the shoulders.

"Tegoshi-senpai, why do you need it for?" Chinen asked. Tegoshi closed the book and sighed, before he looked up. "You see, I have this hobby on looking at old cuckoo clocks, so...."

A smack on his head was given, and right in front of him was Masuda. "MASSU! That hurts!" Tegoshi whimpered as he rubbed the are where he got attacked. "Tesshi, really, isn't there another reason why you're looking for it?"

"As I said, that cuckoo clock can revert time back," Tegoshi said, as he wore his spectacles that mysteriously appeared on his hand. "Really?" Daiki looked at Chinen, before he looked up to Tegoshi. Tegoshi swirled around the air before nodding his head.

"Massu, I'm going to try it," Tegoshi said, as he gave a thumb-up sign.


"60 more days...."
"Stop reminding me,"
"Even if you did managed to extend it, managed to turn back time, the truth ahead will.."
"Stop it Ryo. I know you're concerned of me, please, don't do that to me,"
"Te..go.."
"Go. Leave me alone,"


"If you fail to go back to the correct time frame, you'll be forever that lost soul,"


Chinen skipped towards school. It's probably another happy day for him since there's club today after school. Suddenly, in the corner, a hand had dragged him into the alley, and struggled to be released from the grip. "Brat, stop moving!"

That familiar voice made Chinen to stop his struggling, and the hands covering his mouth have released. Chinen turned around and looked at him. "Father?"

"Now look my son, lend me some money now," his father demanded. Chinen fall to the floor, and crawled backwards. "Father, I have no more money. All I have left is for my lunch and dinner for today,"

"BRAT! PASS ME THE MONEY!" his father shouted. Raising his hand, he slapped across Chinen's cheeks and it turned red immediately. Chinen insisted of keeping his wallet, and his father then took something on the ground, and repeatedly smacked hit his head. BLood ozzed out from Chinen's head but his father could not bother.

Seeing that Chinen could no longer move, his father searched his pockets, and took his wallet, open it, took the notes, and throw the wallet onto the floor. Snorting, his father left.

"HERE!" a voice shouted, and a few police officers have ran up to Chinen who was lying unconsciously on the ground. Few seconds later, Chinen blacked out.


"CHII! CHII!" a voice was calling for him non-stop. The voice, felt with warmth, strength, care...

"D...Dai-chan..." Chinen opened his eyes and saw him sitting beside him, his hands grabbing onto his own hands. "You're finally awake!" Daiki said, his eyes red and teary. "Don't..cry," Chinen mumbled, before he weakly smiled. Tegoshi was floating around as usual, with Masuda lying on the sofa.

"Masuda-senpai stayed here the whole night. He was worried," Daiki explained.

Tegoshi, without saying anything, went forward to Chinen, and placed his hands onto Chinen's forehead. Closing his eyes, he whispered something. "Flashback,"

Everything that happened flashed inside his head like a movie. "Chinen, it's him," Tegoshi mumbled. Chinen avoided the eye contact.


"We need to catch him asap. He have found his step-son and almost killed him," the officer said as he slammed his fist onto the table. "He killed the teenager during the robber raid incident few years back. These years, he managed to hid well, if not for that eye-witness that saw everything on the hitting of him and his son, I guessed we would never been able to track him down,"

"Watari Endou. We'll catch you for sure," the deputy said, as he looked at the screen with the photo of the criminal.


"Tegoshi-senpai, I... I won't witness against him. He's my father," Chinen said as he looked at Tegoshi. Tegoshi stopped swirling around, before he looked at Chinen. "Don't worry, I'll make sure he meets his sentence,"

Before he disappeared, he looked back. "I'm sure I will,"


It was midnight. Tegoshi came to the school grounds alone and went into the clubroom. After searching a few room, he spotted the cuckoo clock right at the centre of the cooking room. The clock hit 1am, and the cuckoo clock started chirping.

Tegoshi went towards it and placed his hands onto the clock. Suddenly, a bright light engulfed him as he got pulled into the light as well.
