Monday 3 July 2017, Glastonbury

The group of girls had managed to escape being caught in the early hours of Friday made for Saturday, discovering some things about Luna Nova, some riddles, that barred a little more of them from advancing further through the place, so much so that they spent the weekend trying to find some way to unravel what was there, but still without success, Akko and Lotte went back to their homes to rest, even though Kagari still had to train physically during the morning, doing the training at home in a more improvised way and that doesn't pull too much, even serving to rest in relation to the training on weekdays.
When the following week
arrived, as usual Kagari started the day training, having to accompany Ursula in a morning walk of five kilometres to warm up the body, but this time she did the walk going to Glastonbury Tor and then from there to Luna Nova walking, finding this way another way to get to the holiday camp, then the morning was passing, the Japanese girl was still finishing the training.
Only in this time that she was finishing she would also have a special visit in Luna Nova, the place was already half prepared for a book fair, with some of the girls taking a walk picking up some books to read, but they didn't expect the appearance of a certain person.

Lotte was enjoying the books, at the same time secretly Amanda was also showing a little appreciation, besides also Barbara who was with Hannah and miraculously Diana came out of the den of her room to enjoy the book fair a little, until a Range Rover arrives, from which a girl with blonde hair and purple eyes, with a very young appearance, but short in stature, descends.

" Annabel Crème! " They all squealed in amazement at seeing the writer there.

" Hello girls of Luna Nova, I came to visit you here to see how you are and also to give a moral to my fans here " said Annabel, who was arriving at one of the tents that was reserved, with that Lotte goes running eagerly to get there.

Not only Yanson, but also O'Neill and Parker are two others who get together to want some autographs from the writer, only soon the redhead ends up taking a knock when she notices that the blonde was around and would end up discovering one of her secrets.

" Oh I just wanted to... " Said Amanda blushing rubbing the back of her neck.

" Get out of the way, I want Annabel's autograph, don't keep stalling which one it is " said Barbara who was standing in front.

" And what's wrong with enjoying Night Fall? Is it going to hurt your pride to admit it Amanda? " Lotte said, adjusting her glasses.

" It's not that... " Said O'Neill turning her face somewhat flushed.

" Hmmmm, that's very strange, you can leave the book with me and I'll sign it for you " said Yanson, who received Amanda's book on the spot.

The blonde soon arrives as well and Barbara next is another one to hide the autographed book in embarrassment, especially when noticing Hannah's presence walking around the book fair, which was making the bespectacled girl even more suspicious, who soon also arrives to get autographs with Annabel.

" Oh hello girl, very nice to know I have fans around here, did you bring two books? " Annabel asked.

" This is my friend's, she's kind of ashamed to admit she likes Night Fall, she's all tomboy and stuff, so you can imagine it breaks her pride to admit such things, but you'll understand people here being ashamed to read your book... I'm a fan who is more than proud to say that she loves every page of Night Fall and all its development," Lotte said, delighted.

" Oh that's wonderful, just wait a little I'll see a message here and then I'll autograph your book and your friend's, seeing a fan like that fills me with excitement " Annabel said looking at the phone.

At that time Crème's expression changes a little, to something more serious, she read the message and with that expression picks up a book from under the table in a box and hands it to Lotte's hands, it was a rather old looking book, having ornaments made of some metallic material, so much so that Yanson was quite confused.

" And this book is what? And why are you giving it to me? " asked the freckled blonde in confusion.

" I think it's interesting that you know where the inspiration for the stories in Night Fall came from, this is a book you'll love to read, it's got a lot of the origins of things in my fiction universe " said the purple"eyed girl, signing the books that were handed to her.

The cover of the book given to Lotte was practically blank, it didn't have the revelation of any author, nor the title, which was quite strange, she takes a quick look at the first page and notices that it's also blank, going through the pages quickly they continued with blank pages, which was quite strange, making Yanson even more confused.

" A blank book? " Asked the bespectacled one.

" When the time comes you will know, now enjoy the present and here are the books, if you want to talk more just come back here a little later and have a good book fair! " Said Annabel to Lotte who was getting surprised.

The freckled blonde walked around a bit and came across Amanda leaning against the wall in an all confident manner, she was calling out to Yanson who was wanting the autographed book and with that she gave it to the redhead who then gave her a hug and then put her hand on Lotte's shoulder.

" Thanks, but don't tell anyone about this part of me. I'd rather no one know that I appreciate Night Fall," Amanda said, and with that the blonde just shrugged.

" I don't care, I'll keep your secret, but look, there's no reason to hide that you like these things, the book is good, just because they make fun of you, you're going to get down like that? Then Amanda O'Neill, who doesn't bow her head to anyone, who questions the system? Anyway, see you soon... I'll put the books away, Annabel gave me a very strange book " Said the freckled girl that was entering Luna Nova, waving to the redhead that simply nodded with the index and middle finger together, besides shaking her head.

Lotte went to her room to put away the autographed book and the other one that was already with some mysteries even too much, a lot for not having anything, simply a strangely empty book. In another part of the fair Hellene was arriving at Diana, after having spent a long time talking to Marianne and enjoying the manga session.

" Hey sis, can you help me with a riddle here? I know you're good at it," Hellene asked.

" Yes I'll help, what was the riddle you wanted to enter for good? " Diana was already being a suspicious one even arching her eyebrow, but still saying in a soft manner.

" I'm trying to figure out a game," said the younger Cavendish, rubbing the back of her head and then showing the riddle to Diana.

The older Cavendish went on to have a good look at the riddle with the words, staying a while thinking, trying to put words together from the letters sj wyy ukrr ds cxxcb cme rcoh ry tscl rri pskfd gmvspc, even using a little help from the internet, but could only form Curry combs from there.

" Curry Combs? Does that seem to make any sense? Because for me there are still a lot of letters missing, a riddle like that doesn't seem like something to unravel one word, even more separated like that " Said the one with platinum blonde hair.

" No, this thing has nothing to do with the riddle I'm looking for, sis, but what do you mean you're separated like that? " asked the already confused redhead.

" It could be an encrypted cipher, I'll try here some of the ciphers that are more known, then I'll tell you the results " said Diana who was starting to get the words on the phone and unraveling them into a cipher.

The eldest was starting to use Cesar's cipher the results gave "Of suu Qgnn zo yttyx yia nykd nu poyh nne logbz ciroly", which obviously was no word in any language, causing Diana to go in search of Vigenere's cipher and with that the results were far more optimistic causing Diana to get a smile on her face, "If you want to enter you need to push the right colours".

" Read there sis, I think your riddle was hidden in cipher Vigenere, and how come you have to put the right colours? What kind of game is this? Quite strange I would say," said the older girl, handing back the mobile phone to her sister.

" Thanks sis... And it seemed kind of obvious that it was that, anyway thanks, ah and I'll pass you later, anyway, thanks for your help " said Hellene that was walking already excited and well on the way stands in front of Akko.

The two give a quick glance at each other, Diana just observes the reaction of the two in the background and with that the younger sister greets Kagari in a very relaxed way, even wrapping her arm around the nape of her neck.

" Hellene what are you doing? " asks the confused brown woman.

" It's just to keep the cover up, I figured out what the riddle of the letters means " Whispers the redhead.

" Cool and what is it? " Whispers Akko too.

" As I know Amanda is a little stubborn and won't accept my sister's help, tell her about the Vigenere cipher, then you can solve it on your own, now I'm leaving so as not to cause more suspicion, I'm gone " Hellene whispers and walks away naturally, while Diana gets a little suspicious looks from her sister, especially with Atsuko's reaction because she was blushing a little.

Kagari walks away as if nothing had happened, only for the older Cavendish to soon arrive catching the girl's attention by giving two coughs and then holding her by the shoulder, preventing the girl from practically walking forward a little, at which point the platinum blonde's gazes were filled with suspicion.

" You're just going to walk around like that with a straight face? What was that with my sister? " said Diana, all suspicious.

" It was nothing, why this face? I have nothing with Hellene besides being friends, that's it, it's no big deal " Akko said trying to gesture with her hands.

" Make me a fool I like, I saw that there is something, better open this beak, because I don't want my sister feeling bad afterwards because of... " The Cavendish was leaving a very clear warning already Atsuko was simply holding back a little.

" Look, I have no interest in Hellene, okay? Don't bother me, I already said I don't want anything to do with your little sister, in fact you have to keep an eye on Marianne, she's the one Hellene's interest is all focused on " Answers Kagari shrugging her shoulders.

" And you have Leclerc in that as well? So you are implying that you two have a rivalry for my... " At this point the Japanese simply puts her finger in the Scot's mouth so that she doesn't overdo it.

" No! You want to know what your sister and I were doing? Alright, I'll tell you... We wanted to make you train, it was a way to destabilize you and think we have something, I don't want you to think I'm having an affair with your little sister... Even if I was... At least she's not a pain in the ass like you," Akko said, making Diana take her hand off her shoulder and take a few steps back.

" Okay, I'm sorry about that... But I'm not gonna train, I'm not in the mood to win this stupid championship, I already told you... You two stop forcing me into this, I'm not gonna train, I'm good enough already, skateboarding is not my passion... Why do you guys force it on me so much.... " Diana angrily turned from there and walked to the inside of Luna Nova, taking angry steps which was causing Kagari to just watch her leaving, until Amanda arrived beside her with the book hidden in a bag.

" Look, you really destabilized Cavendish... I've never seen anyone make her make so many mistakes. I think your arrival is being the most interesting thing that's happened in this orphanage hahaha " Amanda said and soon the Japanese girl narrowly misses talking too much to O'Neill.

" I really wanted to understand this way of being, I don't think Diana is a snob anymore, she really just seems like a person who has an experience, I don't know... She's full of expectations, although she's still an aristocrat... She's not as humble as her sister," Akko answers the redhead, who begins to make a more mischievous expression.

" ohhhhhh, so you are finding Cavendish interesting aren't you? " Said the American woman starting to tease the Japanese woman.

" That's not it! Amanda has nothing to do with this. I just don't think she's what everyone thinks she is. Ahhhh, never mind, I think I have an interesting clue for our riddle... We can use the vigenere cipher on it " said Atsuko trying her best to run away from the subject.

" Vigenere? I'll try to find something about it and see if it fits, then I'll see what it is, but don't try to run away Akko, I can see that you are already starting to have a feeling with Cavendish... I don't think this is just a desire to beat her, I think someone wants to get the attention of the pretty one to have a chance to have her in bed hahaha " provokes Amanda and Akko just responds showing the middle finger.

Kagari decided not to get too worked up, leaving where the book fair was, she went walking to her team's room to somehow lighten the moods more, arriving there she comes across Sucy as usual playing video games, but this time she had Constanze's presence there and also Lotte who went leafing through the book that had nothing in it.

" And how was your training today? " asked Sucy.

" Tiring as ever, but I feel the improvement, I now know I may have a chance to advance further in the championship.... " Said Akko somewhat tired.

" And I got a strange book from Annabel, there's nothing in it, there's not a page with something written on it, no author's name on the cover, nothing, she just said I'll find out soon... This is too weird " Lotte said.

" It also reminded me that Hellene found out about the riddle of the secret room, she said to use the vigenere cipher.... Ahhhh... Shit, I forgot that cons is here, look Cons, for all that's good, don't tell Amanda anything that Hellene was the one who told, she'll suspect that she had help from Diana and you know how stubborn your friend is, try to be as mute as you already are " Said Atsuko who received a middle finger from the German who soon writes on a board.

"I'm not going to tell Amanda anything, I don't want her stubbornness to hold us back, but the next time you make fun of my mute status I'm going to stick a knife in your throat just so you feel what it's like to be a real mute"

The Japanese woman was terrified and apologized to Constanze, who then sent her a thumbs up, relieving Akko who then went to the bathroom where she took a shower to relax.
Meanwhile away from there, walking a little angrily, arriving at the blue team's room, Diana was thoughtful about everything that had just happened.

" (There's something there, they're all hiding something from me that's quite strange and I'll find out what it is, but I can't throw Hellene against the wall, my mana is hard to get words out, I can't believe that maybe there could be a thing of my sister with Akko.... Ahhhhhh... I can't believe my own sister is eye-piercing.... Just me who found this girl a bit interesting, I have to admit, that little way of hers.... Ahhhh).

" Hey Diana, how was it out there, you look a bit angry, it was bad I asked you to leave and stressed you out " Barbara said.

" It wasn't your fault... It's my sister... I can't believe that she and Akko might have something " Diana said with a little jealousy.

" Diana your sister is turning 14, you can't hold her forever, you know... She's growing up and having the interest in other girls, it's a sign that she wants to have a girl in her life, let her be more free, you're only a year older, just... " Said Parker trying to advise her friend who soon interrupted her.

" I'm not talking about that, I don't care that my little sister is starting to find new people, she's free to start her own affairs... Leave it alone, you better not... " The Scot from there enters her room a bit angry to be playing games, already Hannah and Barbara start to keep looking at each other as if they know what's going on in Cavendish's head.

The book fair brought another advance to the mission of observing that hidden place of Luna Nova, besides also tightening even more the bonds, evidencing even more the feelings of some people, which are slowly starting to blossom, especially Diana's, who is creating a suspicion on her younger sister that is quite suspicious.

See you, book witches...
