Notebook entry:

K. -- killed by A. K. (did he even know how to use them? He seemed to use a whip instead)... Something's not right. Did someone put him up to it? Hypnosis? It wasn't him at all? There was definitely an accomplice -- someone who dislikes Futaba.
I wonder, can you override someone else's control with your own?
The Autumn Festival has been canceled -- how long will this go on? Will they finally let us live in peace, or will we always be under scrutiny?
Stupid politicians, they don't live by their own rules and don't let others live either.
I wish Futaba would catch her conspirator, otherwise Kaladium won't be the last. Is it someone from the family? Foreign interventionists?

Decryption:

Kaladium was killed by Alidum. With daggers (did he even know how to use them? He seemed to use a whip instead)... Something's not right. Did someone put him up to it? Hypnosis? It wasn't him at all? There was definitely an accomplice -- someone who dislikes Futaba.

The Autumn Festival was canceled, which means no confessions this year. Varya, however, hadn't heard much about this tradition from her mother (who was more focused on the divination aspect, specifically how to determine the compatibility of two loving hearts based on their zodiac signs and other indicators... Bellring Jr. didn't really listen to all of this, and in any case, she would have preferred to get rid of such nonsense). The tradition was strange; why did the girls have to be the first to confess? It's hard to overcome shyness, usually it's the guys who do that.

Nevertheless, the time spent in their club, all the sparring sessions, the constant fighting, and the frequent encounters with Oleg, couldn't help but make the girl think. How did her fellow refiteer feel about her now, after all their recent meetings, how was he in general... And his eyes, which he seemed to glance at Varya quite often -- what kind of feelings were in them?

The refiteer finally decided that it wouldn't be scary to arrange a meeting and just talk about this and that; they were kind of friends. During one of their sparring sessions in early November, Varya was more thoughtful than usual (although it wasn't the first time she was thoughtful), and she sometimes looked at Oleg, thinking about how to suggest it... Because if she said something like that, it would be almost like... A date? It was hard to decide how appropriate and decent it was, and in general... And yet, she was secretly looking for an opportunity to do it in private; or maybe Oleg would figure it out himself, as he had already shown his insightfulness (which is why he earned her favor).
