"Oh, I don't mind that too much, but it is nice to be known as me," I say, smiling in return. He seems nice enough. I'm not about to give away all my secrets to him, but that doesn't mean I can't relax a little and be nice to him.

I cast a look over my shoulder. Ryouma-san's not moving to attack me, not moving to stop me, so I keep going. Hands behind my back to make it obvious I'm not going to touch anything, I get to the first desk and have to swallow again. Blueprints.

"Ryouma-san?" I ask softly. "You work with the Beat Riders?"
