A seed.

Aiko looks at Ritsu for a second and then she looks at me with confusion.

"What's it? Why do you want something from Nii-Sama?"

I sigh and grab her hands, she's startled and looks at my hands in shock.

"It's a long story, but I will tell you everything about it another time when you're free. I don't want to talk about it right now because I don't think I can't explain everything with the time we have left here. I also don't want Ritsu-nee to listen to our conversation, I want you to keep this a secret from everyone. So, are you going to help me or not?"

Aiko is hesitant for a moment while keeps staring at my hands, she tilts her head while raising her eyebrows.

"Well, I can't give you the answer until you tell me everything first. How about tomorrow? I will come and visit you at your house."

I shake my head.
