Chapter 2

Invasion Evasion

"Di…Diana?!"

Akko found her
standing outside her room… frozen
She was pale all over, shaking in fear

Sobbing, though quietly

"Diana?! What happened! Talk to me! Oiii!"

Akko tried shaking her,
but she didn't react
Her skin was cold to the touch…
She was cowering for her life, as if she stared death in the face

"Ahhhh! Just when everybody is out, this happens! What should I do?!"

The hallways were practically empty
neither students nor professors were around

Akko was already panicking, not knowing what happened

She didn't know how serious it was,
Diana could be injured or poisoned or what not
She didn't want to think about it...
but she had do it - prepare for the worst

"Diana just hang on! I… I'm gonna call someone… anyone! j-just stay put!"

Akko was about to dash off
when she was stopped by a soft, yet distressed voice

"D-Don't go…"

Diana finally managed to put out a word, in which Akko quickly responded

"Diana! You okay?! Tell me what happened! Are you hurt?!"

Diana was barraged with questions, one after another.
but the only answer she gave was…

"I… It's there"
Diana frantically points at her room

"Huh? What's there?"

"I… It's there"

"eh? Wha-?"

"It's there"

She kept repeating the same answer again and again.
You can see it in her eyes, the fear of... something

"Diana! Calm down! take a deep breath and tell me what's in there!"

Akko had to find a way to calm Diana down.

She tried talking to her about random stuff,
tried teasing her but nothing worked
Heck, she even tried making goofy faces,
hoping that it might do something, but nope!

She was running out of ideas, and getting really desperate

And at the spur of the moment something came into her mind…
she was skeptical at first, but in their situation, anything was pretty welcome

So she decided to try it! And put every ounce of hope into it!

"Well, here goes nothing!"

Akko stood up in front of Diana, opened her arms wide… and gave her a nice, warm hug


They stood there for several long minutes, just clinging to each other,
feeling their warmth.

"There you go... Diana... I'm here now… shhh… no need to cry"
Akko whispered as she caressed Diana's hair

"Whatever you saw there, it's gone now… I might not be good at magic but… ehehe... I'll protect you"

Those last words made Diana burst into tears
_

"I… I was so scared"

Her voice was still trembling,
but she's in a lot more comfort now than the mess she was in earlier

"There there… it's okay now! Shiny Akko is here for you!"

"I saw them… a lot of them… th-thank you Shiny Akko… saving me from those bu-
wa – wait … a – kko? AKKO?!"

Finally waking up from her trance-like trauma, Diana regained her bearings

As her surroundings slowly made sense, the predicament she found herself in… was quite embarrassing, to say the least.
_

Their faces, dangerously close to each other
Akko wearing a wide grin, seemingly enjoying the amusing reaction Diana is showing

And Diana, red as a beet from embarrassment

"Oh, dear Diana~
tell Shiny Akko how great she is~ come on now, don't be shy! "

Diana jumped away, escaping Akko's grasp

"You – WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?! YOU WERE HUGGING ME! WHA – !"

And then proceeds to whine non-stop for almost a minute
While Akko…

Akko watched her all the way through,
but she didn't notice... that a smile already crept up across her face

"Looks like you're back to your old self! by the way Diana, what happened there?!
You were frozen solid when I got here"

Diana contemplated at first, but she decided to keep it a secret

"I – It's none of your business!... now if you'd excuse me, I have places to be"

And with that, Diana left the scene…
leaving Akko pondering about what could've happen that left Diana, Luna Nova's Ace witch, in such a pitiful state

"All's well that ends well, I guess"

Akko was about to follow suit and leave the place when Ursula passed by

"Akko? This place is off-limits, what are you doing here?"

Ursula asked in a very serious, authoritative manner

"Off-limits?"


Apparently, an announcement was distributed to the students
informing of the temporary lock-down of that particular place…

but Akko didn't know that! given the fact that she locked herself in her room for most of the day

"Eh, we had to isolate this part of the dorm because of a pretty nasty infestation.
Luckily, most of the students are staying outside, so pest control shouldn't be much of a problem"

Ursula explained as she escorted Akko out of the area

"Uh one more thing, Ursula-sensei… are those pests dangerous?!"

Akko asked, slowly shedding some light on the events that transpired just moments ago

"Not really, but a lot of our students can't handle bugs so…
It's our priority to provide top-notch living conditions to our students!... is what the headmistress said"

"I see… bugs huh?... just bugs?! aha…ha…hahahahaha"
Akko laughed heartily as she made her way back to her room
_

"I guess it's just me, myself and I again, huh?
But Yesterday sure was fun! Hehehe"

Despite being with her lonesome again,
Akko sure looked like she's having fun remembering
Diana's plethora of amusing reactions she fortunately witnessed the preceding day

"But my favorite was her blushing face… oh she was adorable there!"
Akko kept daydreaming like that while squeezing the hell out of her pillow.
_

Lunchtime arrived

Akko was about to leave her room for lunch
when a familiar delivered her a letter

The letter reads:

Miss Kagari Atsuko, you are hereby summoned
by the headmistress of Luna Nova. You are expected to report to the Head office
as soon as possible, that is all
– signed, Miranda Holbrooke

"Ehh?! A summon?! Smells like trouble"

Akko surprisingly acted very calm about the fact
that she just got summoned by the Headmistress of her school,

oh wait – she's used to that after all!

She quickly headed to the head office,
prepared to face the oncoming storm that is Finneran's wrath.

"Miss Kagari, please come in"

Headmistress Holbrooke greeted Akko with an indifferent tone

"A-Akko?"

to Akko's surprise, Diana was also summoned to the office

Seeing Diana gave Akko the impression that she's about to be blamed again
for the events that happened the day before,
so she took the initiative and spoke first

"If this is about Yesterday, let me tell you first…
It wasn't my fault… If you have anyone to blame, point it at Diana!"

Akko prepared herself, expecting a comeback from Diana,
but to her surprise…

"I agree sensei, Kagari Atsuko is not to blame here… It was my mistake and I am solely responsible for it"

"Yea – what?!"

Wait a minute…

"I am the one who committed the mistake, and as a Cavendish,
I will not disdain my family by lying just to save my own self"

Diana stood her ground, proud and mighty

"Everyone calm down… this is not about what you think it is"
Headmistress Holbrooke finally intervened to stop the rising heat

"We are not blaming either of you, this is the school's fault for endangering its students
that is why we called you two here, to inform you about the changes we've made,
to make sure that none of this will ever happen again" She added
.

"Miss Cavendish, you are temporarily assigned to take residence in Miss Kagari's room until further notice"

EHHHHHHH?!111one!1!
