"...This would have been fun if our professors weren't here." Charm sighed loudly.

"Aw, come on~ At least we have Cole Martin, Reed Davis, and Kassandra Peters here to give their speech..as well as twiddle dee and twiddle dumb." Lorey smiled.

Archer suppressed a laugh, I love that she calls Maro and Lykos twiddle dee and twiddle dumb.

"But they are going to leave by helicopter around the eleventh day I think? maybe twelve?" I thought.

"Oh, why?" Archer asked.

"..You obviously didn't listen to what they said in their speech. *sigh* They still have a shooting elsewhere so they needed to leave by then." Lorey explained.

We are on the cruise for five days now, and everything has been entirely uneventful. Wake up, wash up, eat, practice graduation routine, eat again, chill, hang out with friends, wash up again, sleep. After that, repeat the cycle again.

Only if you ignore the fact that the waves were pretty harsh. Whenever we ate, the plates and everything on the table would move and we would have to hold it down. Though there were moments when things would calm down.

This has got to be the worst Cruise ride I've ever been to.

There isn't any good reception here so we could only use the free wifi. At first, we had a perfect signal but then yesterday there seemed to be some malfunction but luckily they provided us the free wifi.

"This taste really good~" I hummed in delight. I was drinking a mocktail that they served and it was absolutely delicious.

"Can I taste?" Charm asked.

I don't know why she would even bother asking when she was already drinking it. The ship rocked a bit so it went to her face but she didn't particularly care.

"Pfft- It tastes good doesn't it?" I giggled.

She couldn't respond as she was busy drinking it all. Her legs were swishing from left and right which meant she really liked the drink.

" *soft burp* E-Ehem..Sorry about that..I'll buy you another one." She blushed in embarrassment.

We laughed at her and we continued swimming in the pool. Pretty sure we would need to get out soon though, things might suddenly turn rough.

"You know, this cruise ferry or whatever you call it is really nice for the most part. Though the slight rust on the bow visor did catch my eye." Lorelei mentioned.

"True, as this was Miss Samantha's baby I would think that it was in its most pristine condition but I won't judge. It's still a beauty nonetheless." Charm said.

. . .

It was day nine and they finally gave us our academic gowns! I felt so happy holding it in my hands..I am really going to graduate. After skipping many classes to focus on my job, after soo many late nights, and after many tutor lessons with my soulmates, I'm finally going to graduate!

I must say, they helped me a lot. Especially in math subjects, I hate that wretched subject.

"How do I look~?" Lorey walked out of her comfort room and showed us in the gown.

" Getting ready for church-esque." Charms smiled.

Lorey pouted and faced Archer," You look absolutely amazing, babe. I'm falling in love all over again." He smiled full-heartedly at her.

Charm and I placed on our best-disgusted faces and scooted away from the love birds.

"Justice for single people." She protested.

" Justice for single people!" I claimed.

"...I'm not sure if you count." She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Why is that?"

"Because..you know why." She pouted.

"Well..I'm still single, aren't I?" I wiggled my eyebrows at her.

"Hmm...then, Single for Justice! I mean, Justice for single people!"

I walked out for a while to buy some water for myself.

"Sir Adam, is there no signal yet?" I asked one of my bodyguards.

"Unfortunately the antenna where the ship receives signal collapsed. They are still in the middle of fixing it and we were told that they had everything under control."

"Huh.." that doesn't sound quite safe.

"Alright."

. . .

" Meredith? No. I would know, the list of employees who quit, resigns, new recruits, all of it goes through me. I would never fucking hire Meredith and isn't she dead? " Lippe asked through the video call with Calixto and the rest.

" As far as we know from Theresa and Patrick (Maro's parents) they said that they cremated her body and then spread her ashes in the sea. " Viktor said.

" We know that, Vik. " Vesna replied.

" Just get to the damn point. " Vera narrowed her eyes at them.

" They might be lying. " Devereux revealed.

"..What do you mean? Like..she's not dead??? " Madeliene griped.

" Yes. "

" " Seth questioned.

" Devereux told us that he saw Meredith in the Cruise ship while they were sailing. Though they might be far, the face should still be visible from our position at the time. " Alicai explained.

" The Cruise ship? The same cruise ship Aera is on right now??? Then why the fuck did you not stop the ship from sailing further?! " He yelled.

" Calm down, Seth. It was because Hyun and Hwan already have bodyguards there for Aera. There are four of them, two of which came from us and we tasked them to investigate. " Devereux said.

"Hold on, hold on...who the fuck is Meredith??" Hyun asked, confused.

"..Did..Calliope not tell you yet?" Devereux warily asked.

"H-Hyun..Hwan..Meredith is that woman. " She disclosed.

"Y..You mean the one who did to you is possibly alive and on the same ship as my sister right now? Is that what you all are saying right now???" Hwan griped.

"The chances of her just being a look-alike was much higher as I was the one who killed her in the first place. Lippe, you do have the list of who is on board the ship, right? " Viktor asked Lippe.

" Yes I do, the vice principal sent it to me yesterday. I went through it along with my secretary and nothing seems out of the ordinary. Ah, we did though have guests. I wasn't told of it until the last minute so I could not cancel it anymore. "

" Guests? "

" They are artists; Cole Martin, Lykos Stoll, Reed Davis, Torrin Wilson, and Kassandra Peters. The vice principal told me that he got them to be the motivational speakers for the cruise. If I knew ahead of time that they were the guests then I would have to turn it down. Anyway, don't be too upset since they will be leaving on the twelfth day." she quickly explained.

"That stupid peacock and Maro will be there??" Revere asked.

"Unfortunately so."

"...Soren, do you have people that could find the place where they had Meredith's ashes cremated? I want to know if she was ever truly burnt to ashes." Revere requested, coldly.

"Alright, I'll have someone get to it."

"I just thought of something, I heard from the news that Miss Aera was having troubles with her stalker right? I noticed from the clips provided, that right before Lykos closed the door to his room for the hotel when someone was said to have doodled on his walls, there was a glimpse of someone's shoes at the top left corner, the person looked to have walked pass by. I had to use my editing software to enhance the image. I'll send it to you guys, wait." Madeline said.

Hyun took out the clip and replayed it one more time after thinking his eyes were playing with him. He never noticed how fast it was but it was true, inside the room during the time he said that someone tarnished and threatened him,
