Warlock of Sin. Arc 1: Prelusion
Chapter 6: My Other World
Waking up to the familiar sensation of a little girl clinging to his right arm, Subaru yawned, rather loudly. It had been some time since he's slept in a properly air-conditioned room, and it felt great. He sprung out of his bed, taking a deep breath, and keeping it in, "Man, being back home feels good…" He said as he stretched his arms out.
"Mgh… silly Subaru…" Beatrice mumbles in her sleep, grabbing the pillow on her head into her arms. Subaru couldn't keep his aching heart from, well, aching, "Please... I'll die of cuteness if you keep going..."
Changing out of his pajamas and into new, comfortable clothes, he left his room, quietly, as to not wake the sleeping spirit. He looked past the hallway, not really sure what to do, usually, back in the mansion, he'd go take a bath first, then meet up with Ram and Rem for the days work, but now, he doesn't really have to do that, he doesn't exactly work here.
Subaru started walking down the hallway but stopped when he heard a click. He then walked backward slowly, and stopped in front of his little sister's room, he then heard another click, two to be exact, "Don't tell me she's… no, it's most definitely her…" That very sound, it was nostalgic, but at the same time not, he slowly opened the door and peeked in.
"You can't be… could you?"
He could see a futon spread out on the floor, and someone was sleeping in it, definitely. He slowly walked into the room, the sound of tapping now entered his ears, he knew exactly what this person was doing. Looking to his left, he saw a silver-haired beauty, in pajamas, in front of a brightly lit screen, "Haah… why am I not surprised… Oi, how long have you been there?"
The silver-haired girl paid no heed to Subaru, she just kept on staring at the screen, mumbling out things and occasionally letting out an "Ahh…" Seeing that the girl hadn't noticed him, he went closer and grabbed her shoulder, shaking it a little bit. She turned her head to him slowly, "Oi, Ella! How long hav- Gua!"
"Oh... Shubaru~ this… haaah, 'Computer' thing is... g-great..."
Her eyes were heavy, her voice was whispery and dry, she was tired, beyond tired, he could tell at least that much, "Hey, you shouldn't stay up all night er... watching... no, reading stuff? Wait what were you doing? Ahh, it doesn't matter. Using a brightly lit computer in a dark room, is really bad for your eyes you know..."
Subaru leans over to the monitor, switching it off while prying her hands away from the keyboard,"Nooo... Shubaruuun, I wanted to read some… more..." Too tired to say anything else, she collapses onto Subaru. "H-Hey, don't sleep on me! Gh..." She then proceeds to wrap her arms around his waist, nuzzling up his chest, and while putting up a mischievous grin, she teases "But it's nice to know that Subaru cares for me…"
Suddenly turning red, Subaru freaks out as he tries to shove her off, to no avail, "Y-You! Get off me!" It'd be a normal reaction, seeing that she's a fully grown woman, clinging onto Subaru, a fully grown man. Satella giggles playfully as she latches on, now putting on a threat, "If your too loud… Isumi-chan will wake up you know…" A devious smile was plastered on her face as she dives back into Subaru's chest, making them both fall to the ground, laying down.
Sneaking a glance at his sister, Subaru could see that she was indeed going to wake up, had they continued on their struggles, 'She really is a wicked witch' Subaru thought to himself. This situation, it's a classic anime/manga situation where the abusive heroine blackmails the protagonist into doing what she wants, something Subaru, must never let happen. "Come on Subaru… just pretend it's Emilia hugging you, it's fine then right? Hehe..."
He felt himself getting more flustered. Though he really wished he could've just imagined Emilia being the one that's hugging, something as absurd as that wouldn't be possible, she's not bold enough, and would probably never be bold enough to hug him like this. Hearing his internal struggles, Satella giggles even more, while enjoying their early morning skinship.
"I'm cunning too you know!"
He shouted in a whispery voice, probably not the best idea when there's someone sleeping right beside you. Touching the ground, a rift appeared right under them, and they both fell, plummeting into what felt like a grassy lawn, with Satella falling right above his stomach, "AGH!" that's gotta hurt.
"Ouch… where ar- Kyaaa!"
Satella let out a loud screech, loud enough that Subaru had plugged his ears as he got back up, "S-Subaru! Why did you bring me outside, I… I'm still wearing these oversized pajamas, you idiot!" She stuttered out in embarrassment while hiding behind Subaru, in case there were people walking around, "What's wrong about oversized pa-" He took a glimpse back and indeed, wearing what she wore in broad daylight would most definitely be embarrassing. He hadn't noticed it before but her pajamas were, extremely oversized, the sleeves could easily just slip out with a simple breeze.
"Hmm… maybe I should have thought twice about this…"
"Y-You think!? Just bring me back!"
"Quiet, someone may actually come out cause of your loud voice…" He stood up, so did Satella, still hiding behind him for cover, another rift appearing behind them. Without facing it, he walks through, not really wanting to be seduced by the loosely dressed, Emilia look-a-like behind him. "We're back inside now, you can calm down…"
Satella lets go of him, and sunk down to the wooden flooring, sniffing her nose, "Subaru's a meanie… witches have their dignity too you know!?" she said, teary-eyed, to Subaru. He taps his feet on the ground while sighing, he says, "Even though you were rubbing your face up my chest just a minute ago?"
"Dummy… If it's Subaru… its a little different…" She blushed, and she blushed hard, her face was lit up in a scarlet hue, Subaru couldn't help it, his heart skipped a beat, then another, 'Wait why is my heart skipping beats over her!?' He screams to himself, internally, coughing away his flustered heart, he turns around, and heads to the kitchen, "Stop it with that already…"
"Meanie… stupid meanie…"
Satella mumbles, as she held her head on the table, her face still red from the initial shock and embarrassment, "Enough of that already, I said sorry didn't I?" Subaru said as he turned back, looking at her all down didn't really made him feel comfortable, mostly cause she's a splitting image of Emilia, but also cause it was partly his fault.
"Bakasu…"
"Cheer up already…"
He says while placing a mug in front of her, a mug filled with coffee. "Since you won't sleep, that'll help shake your brain up…" He tells her while sipping some from his own. He leaned on the kitchen counter, swirling the coffee in his mug, reminded him of that one time he taught Rem and Ram how to do latte, fun times.
"..."
Satella takes in a bit of her coffee, her face still visually displeased at Subaru. Suddenly, Beatrice walks into the kitchen, "Oh, morning Beako" Subaru greets her, she just looks at the two rather skeptically. She was about to ask, but instead said, "It'd be better if Betty didn't, I suppose…" she then walks over to the refrigerator, opening the door, all the cold air escaping out.
She takes out what could only be a juice box, Subaru looks at it, and asks, "If I recall… isn't that my sister's stash? You sure it's okay to take that Beako…" She replies with a sigh, "Betty has made a contract with her, in exchange for showing her magic, I get a share of it, I suppose…"
"Was a contract really necessary?!"
"No, but she insisted, I suppose…"
.
They sat down on the couch, and with Satella having calmed down a little, they helped themselves to some television. Subaru wasn't a fan of the television, he'd mostly play games or read manga from the store, occasionally watching an anime on his computer, but never has he found a solid interest in television, still, that's not to say it was completely out of his interest.
He flicked through all the channels, none of them really grabbing his attention, news channels weren't exactly something people of his age enjoy watching. They kept on switching channels until they heard footsteps coming down the stairs, "Good morn... S-Subaru!?" A voice exclaimed as they reached the bottom, Subaru and the rest tilt their heads and they saw Naoko, astonished and all.
"Don't tell me you've developed amnesia mom?"
"U-Oh... ahh, I remember now... though it's still so hard! I can't believe my baby's back!"
She rushes over and hugs her son, in a very tender embrace, but at the same time, bone shattering, "Not too hard please..." Subaru pleads while trying to ease his mother's hold of him, "The mother is even more unbearable than the son, I suppose…" Beatrice coldly remarks as she scoots away from the two.
"Aww, Subaru, haven't you taught her to be nicer? She won't make any friends if she's this cold" Nako says as she releases her son, "You think I never tried? She's as stubborn as the old man himself" "Heh? But you're so cute as well, oh look, your hairs all messed up" She said while she ruffles her hair, all the while bringing her into a hug, Subaru getting caught in it too. "T-Too close, I suppose!"
After their little touching moment, Beatrice leaves to fix her hair up, while Naoko joins the other two in their endless search for an interesting channel. She takes notice of Satella, who had been sulking this whole time, "Ah, Ella, is something the matter…" Not really wanting to be bothered right now, she just pouts.
Naoko glances over to Subaru and sees that he averted his gaze away, quickly understanding that there has been some sort of quarrel. Being the kind mother she is, she decides to dissipate the distance the two have created between themselves, and she did it in a very literal manner. Grabbing a hold of Subaru's collar, she yanks him closer to Ella, shoving him down the seat until they sat right beside each other. Subaru was caught by surprised while Satella squirmed with the sudden intrusion.
"I'm not going to accept a gloomy atmosphere in this house, so you two better make up"
She lightly scolded the two, who nodded their heads fearfully, her stares were sharper than knives, even though she is unaware of it, "Good, I'll go make myself some coffee then…" And she walks out of the room and into the kitchen, leaving the two hanging with a rather awkward atmosphere, "Uh… I'll… get changed then…" Subaru could only nod awkwardly in return.
"This is impossible I suppose..."
Beatrice was standing on a stool by the sink, looking at the mirror. Her hair was indeed ruffed up, and it won't return to its usual shape, so Beatrice had to do it herself, but, "Why is this so hard, I suppose!" she yanks at her hair, messy and disheveled. As she was about to fall down into despair, Naoko came in to save the day, with a hairbrush in hand, and a pair of hair bands.
"Let me help you with that, Beatrice…"
"It's useless, I suppose…"
Disregarding the spirits depressing tone, Naoko goes on with Beatrice's hairdo. Beatrice didn't even care to open up her eyes, just letting the woman do whatever she wants with her hair, in the end, it won't be able to return to usual glory, but that's just what she thought, "Hehe, done!" She ended it with a clap and a gleeful smile.
Beatrice didn't expect much, but once shqAqqqe opened her eyes, she was surprised, her hair was tied into matching twintails, it was different from her usual drills but they still looked rather nice "H-Hmm… you are quite skilled for a person with such an evil look, I suppose…" Beatrice compliments and insults her simultaneous, but Naoko doesn't mind at all, replying with a simple, "I get that a lot…"
Beatrice harrumphed, and made her way down the stool, going back to the room, where Subaru was. By then, Keinichi had already arrived down the stairs, Isumi had also woken up, and was dressed in a jacket and scarf, seems like she was going out again? Or maybe she was extremely sensitive to the morning cold, even more so than Subaru.
"Are you sensitive to the cold too? Sis"
Subaru asked while he persisted in changing the channels, "Ah, we didn't tell you Subaru?" His dad told him, he was also wearing some heavy clothing, "Since it's winter break, we're all going out for a little fun! And since you're here, we're decided to go out a little early" He said while shooting out a thumbs up, one could not possibly mistake him for someone else's dad.
"Oh really? Where are we going?"
"The amusement park~"
Isumi chimed in, "There's this new one that opened just recently and I wanna ride all~ the rides!" She says while striking out a dramatic pose, she was most definitely Subaru's sister, there's no mistaking it. She walked over to Subaru and sat beside him as he continued to switch the channel endlessly. "Isn't there anything good these days? It's only been ten years and people are already running out of ideas…"
"You sound an old man when you say it like that, you know?"
"I don't want to hear that from an actual old man…"
"Hey, I'm still young! I've only passed through half of my life"
"That's thinking you're going to live for a hundred years… don't go deciding your lifespan now-" he suddenly stopped on a new channel, it was the local news channel, he didn't really know why he stopped there, but he soon realized once he read the headline. 'Shit…' he quickly tried to change the channel but found that the remote was no longer in his hand.
"Oi, Isumi!"
She had snatched it and kept it inside her jacket, and she was looking directly at the tv, "Hey, this isn't something someone of your age should watch!" he tried to grab it out of her but he stopped midway seeing her tremble. Something clicked in him, it suddenly makes sense now, why she's acting all normal after a cold-blooded murder has just occurred right in front of her eyes a day ago, she hasn't gotten over it, she simply forgot it ever happened, in other words, she had just rememberd such a thing happened.
"Isumi what's wrong?"
Keinichi called out to her, it seems he wasn't briefed on what had happened and Subaru didn't want him to know anymore. Fearing something bad may happen, Subaru gets off the couch and walks towards the tv, switching it off just as they mentioned "Gunshots".
"Please… forget everything that-"
"Show me…" she demanded, she was very serious but just as equally scared, Subaru was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say and afraid he might make her edge him on, "Brother… please show me…" the two of them stared at each other, seeing no way through the determined eyes, he gives up with a sigh.
"Fine…"
Subaru lifted up his shirt, revealing his blood-curdling wounds, or so she thought. All that was there were a few scratches and he's newly toned muscles from Wilhelm's intense training. "Woah there kiddo, I know you wanna show your buff and all but do remember she's your little sister…"
She stared at Subaru, astonished, "I saw it… how?!" she looks at Subaru, rather desperate, and confused. "I saw him shoot you! Three… no, five times… I forgot about it because I was so scared… but how? How are you… not-" Before she was able to say the last word, Subaru sealed her lips with a single finger.
"Your still young sis, you've got a lot of things ahead of you so don't contaminate yourself with those thoughts… though, if I hadn't let my guard down you wouldn't have to see that, some older brother I turned out to be..."
"No! You have to be hurt right? And all because I went out on my own… I… I'm sorry!" She was rather disturbed by the fact that Subaru survived a bunch of bullets to his chest, but she was also guilty as she was part of the reason why he had to go through that. Subaru patted her head to reassure her.
"Hehe, don't worry, taking a few bullets to the chest… I've been through things, far, far worse…"
The latter part was whispered in an intense tone, causing Isumi to flinch, "Okay now hold up!" Their dad suddenly butted in, with a rather exaggerated expression. "What's with all this gun shooting and hurting and stuff?! Subaru, what exactly happened back there!" He asked, worried out of his pants.
"Sorry, but I don't-"
"You're telling me… Subaru…"
His father's gaze was intense, it's as if he's about to shoot out lasers, though, it's not on the level of his mother's, "I know see where she got her stubbornness… fine, don't say I didn't warn you…" He replied with a strong nod, and Subaru sighed once again.
"We found Isumi with her friend in an alleyway with two thugs, I knocked one out and intimidated the other one, Beako and Ella then went to the two to calm them down. Then someone else suddenly appeared, apparently, it was their boss of sorts… that other one ran over to him bawling his eyes out… and he killed him with a simple gunshot…"
Isumi squeezed her eyes shut, grabbing onto Subaru's leg for dear life. Their father just stayed there with an indifferent expression, "He then turned over to us and told us to give up but after I refused… well, let's say his gun went on rapid fire…"
"I'm taking the fact that your alive is due to those… 'Witch genes' right?"
"Honestly speaking, I wouldn't have been able to beat the first guy had I not have the witch genes… though, taking a flurry of bullets isn't exactly a joyful moment… and it hurt a damn lot pulling them out of my chest one by one…" Subaru says while keeping up a calm and nonchalant expression.
"Keeping a face like that while talking about death and the such… just what did you mean when you said you've been through worse…?"
"Being eaten, being mauled, impaled, stabbed, falling a cliff, poisoned, kicked, forgotten, burnt, there are many things-"
He felt he grip on his legs tighten insanely, he also heard noticeable sobbing, "You just had to make me say all that stuff in front of her, didn't you. What an irresponsible father you are…"
"S-Sorry… guess I lost my cool back there…"
Subaru squatted down and comforted her, like how Emilia had once done to him, "Why…" he heard her faint voice, "Why do you have to go back into a place like that! Wouldn't it be better just to stay here with us?" The endless worrying of a family member, it has been two months, no, even longer if you count the number of days spent in other loops, he's almost forgotten that people would be worried about him.
"Listen, sis… someday, you'll meet someone, or maybe a group of people that you'll get really close to, once you've found those people, there's already no turning back… you'll want to be with them, have fun times with them, you'll risk your life for their sake, I've got people like that in the other world… letting them down all for the safety of one, is not really a good way of thinking…"
Subaru looks at her with the eyes of an admirable older brother, he wipes her tears off and ruffles up her hair, "Ara Ara, what's wrong dear?" Naoko asks, having intruded into the conversation, "Ah, it's nothing mom, was just telling about how scary the creatures were in the other world, though I might have given her too big of a scare…"
"Haah, Subaru, you have to be more considerate to a maiden's heart, no wonder you got into a fight with Ella-chan"
"Okay no, that has nothing to do with consideration, not when she was all ov- nevermind, I was just being inconsiderate, please forgive my rudeness…" Remembering the cause of the said 'fight', Subaru attempts to hide his embarrassment by bowing down his head.
"My, you've grown into a fine gentleman without me watching, I'm envious of your friends…"
And with the entrance of the Natsuki families dense housewife, the tension around the room eases out rather quickly.
It didn't take long until everyone was prepared, Satella and Naoko were wearing matching turtleneck sweaters, though they both wore their own different beanie.
Beatrice just stuck with Isumi's tracksuit, adding a scarf as a finishing touch and Subaru wore a simple hoodie, quite bland but he didn't really care all that much.
"Right then, we're getting on a train! Have you two ever been on a train?"
"No! But I know they're fast metal carriages that travel by rail tracks! They can bring people to places near or far, and they're really cheap too!"
"Oh, looks like someone did their research"
"I won't stop at anything to find out as much as I can about Japan, that way, I'll be able to understand Bakasu even more!" hearing her insults stung harder than usual, a little more so than Ram's usual jabs.
"Please stop, I said I'm sorry…"
.
Once they've packed up all they need, they headed towards the nearest train station. It was about, say, twenty minutes away.
"Huaaa..." Satella and Beatrice just stared in awe as they walked around scanning the area, Isumi giggled seeing their surprised faces while Subaru just sighed.
It was still a little unbelievable to think that there could be a world other than theirs, but Subaru's parents had already abandoned all logic the moment they saw Subaru return. This may as well be some illusion caused by stress or something like that, but even if this isn't the real Subaru, as long as they could be back with him, it didn't matter.
"Hey, you guys thinking of something weird aren't you? Just so you know, I'm the real deal" Subaru said as he glanced back, looking a little annoyed. The two of them replied with shocked faces, "Y-You can read minds now!?" Keinichi said, exasperated.
"Don't think of embarrassing thoughts, don't think of embarrassing thoughts!"
"Woah, calm down there, your face just kinda said that is all, even if I am your great son, reading minds is still waaaay out of my reach…"
Satella, Beatrice, and Isumi run ahead into the train station, all getting excited, well, who could blame them for that. "Three tickets to Fujiyoshida, two children, and four adults," Keinichi asked the person behind the glass window.
Glancing over at the three ecstatic girls in front of him, Subaru silently remarked, "You sure it's not three children?"
"Hey, Bakasu, I heard that!"
"And Betty has already informed you that Betty isn't a child, I suppose!" Subaru shushes the two of them "If you look young you get a discount, so just stay there and look cute okay?" Subaru says while crouching down to Beatrice's level.
"Really!? Ah then I'm actually twelve ye-" "No, You have to act your age, Ella…" Subaru said while grinding her head with his knuckles, "Naah! Bakasu, it hurts! Stop!"
"Why don't you stop with all the Bakasu this, Bakasu that... or do you want me to call perverted witch-san from now?"
"W-What?! Perverted… wife-san? I didn't know Bakasu was so bold…"
"Witch-san! I said W-i-t-c-h, witch-san! Not wife-san! Get your ears straightened up"
"Hup"
They all hopped in one by one, the train was nice and cool, not that it did them any good, it was winter after all. Keinichi looked over to Beatrice and Satella, them looking rather awestruck at their surroundings, "You said they were… four hundred old? Right?" He asked Subaru while pointing at the two.
"At least four hundred, not sure what they're exact age is… and I get what you mean, something like this should be physically impossible…"
The girls, Naoko included, were all bickering in girly ways, "I think it's less of them being weird and more on them being girls, don't you think so?" Subaru shrugs his shoulders and replies, "I never really understood women, so I wouldn't know.."
"Haha, trust me, even after twenty years of being married, I still can't fathom why your mother does the things she does"
"No, that's less of her being a woman and more of her being… well, herself…"
"You, old man, Betty orders you to explain how this vehicle works, I suppose" Beatrice demands as she jabs a finger at Keinichi, a dominant aura was enveloping her, "Gah, how cold you can be… but as you wish..."
"Ah, I want to know as well!" Isumi called as well, and so the two girls sat side by side as Subaru's dad explained the working behind the maglev train, Satella had left long before it even started, knowing ahead of time that it was going to be too much for her poor little brain.
"So this is your world... it's wonderful, isn't it… Bakasu~" She said as she sat beside Subaru.
"Most of your everyday chores are automated, you just need to press a button and walk around and most of everything is done, yeah, it's great, isn't it? But then, with so little to do, things get boring, and with the ever-increasing demand for more intellectual minds, schools decided to bump up their difficulty so it's not exactly easy to be in this world… not that it isn't worth it or anything..."
"I also like how kind everyone here is… they all greeted us so nicely, even though we're complete strangers. You don't see many people like that in Lugnica, or other countries for that matter"
"I'm not some social science expert but I'd say it's the fact that unlike in Lugnica, the only race difference in here is your skin color and where you were born in, other than that, I think we get along pretty well… Since we're all humans anyway"
"Heh~ Lucky you…"
Once they all have marveled at the amazingness of modern transportation, we got off and made the rest of the way by foot. It was a long walk but it was very fun. "A world without magic… just the thought of it makes very little sense. How do you protect yourself from large beasts, how do you build all these magnificent structures, and most importantly, how did you keep it so~ cold in your room, Isumi-chan!" Satella said rather curious, very curious.
"It's all thanks to machines and other tools… we automated weapons to fend off large beasts if we ever go to the wilderness, we also use large machines to build these buildings, like the one you saw the other day, Ella… and we have something called an air conditioner, to put it simply, you cool the air down inside a box with something that resembles ice, then you blow the cold air out with a fan"
"Waah~ I want to live here!"
"It's hard for us to believe that Subaru was taken away by such a beautiful girl" Keinichi teases them. He then nudges Subaru while giving him a wry smile, "So Subaru, how long have you two known each other? And… how far did you go? Huh? Come on, don't keep us in the dark about this"
"As you wish… I've come to know about her about three days in, then I actually met her about… a month ago, taking RBD time into account, that is..." He whispered the last part so that his dad couldn't hear. "Also, our relation is that of a captor and a captive, so we don't really go anywhere… sorry to keep your hopes up, but it ain't going anywhere"
"Ah, so you're still a hopeless virgin"
"My, how rude you can be…"
Keinichi snickered and then proceeded to ask, "You said something about making someone a king right? By looking at Beatrice's clothing when she first came here, I'd say you were sent to somewhere near the medieval age, so, could it be that Beatrice a princess and like, the sister of this person your making king?"
Hearing her name being called she glances over to the group, "Mind you, Betty is not a princess, Betty is Subaru's contract spirit, I suppose. Do not make the same mistake twice, if you do, I will blow your head off for real this time..." She said while waving her arms around in circles, Keinichi was a little creeped out.
"Well, she definitely acts like a spoilt princess brat sometimes," Subaru said while patting her head, "But yeah, she's just a not very known spirit, her creator was a witch but she's long dead now. Our contract was decided last minute so we aren't exactly sure what's in it, but it goes along the lines of 'Always relying on each other' so it's kinda symbiotic"
"So it's like taking care of a child? She relies on you for things and you rely on her so you won't be lonely right?" Naoko said, unaware of the rage she had induced onto Beatrice, who was being held back by Subaru. "I am not lonely, I'll have you know that mom!"
In a way, yes, she was definitely child-like... ish... she's lived and endured four hundred years of isolation, her body is everlasting so yeah, you can't tell how old she is just by looking at her, but even though she lived that long, with her being cut off from the outside world, her mentality had stayed put, or at least she matured really, really slowly. It was Subaru's job to see to it that she gets everything she's been missing, that being happiness, attention, love, and most importantly, fun!
"But yes, I can't think of her as anything else but a child that is desperately in need"
"Even my contractor has betrayed me!? What is this world, I wonder!"
Speaking of fun, they had finally arrived at their destination. They all jumped, skipped, and hopped their way to the entrance where they got their entrance passes, Isumi and Satella running in ahead. "Right, so are we going to split ourselves or should we stay as a group?" Keinichi asked everyone.
"Beako-chan! Come with me, I want to show you something!" Completely ignoring the rest, they dashed away through a corner "W-Wait! Isumi!" Keinichi and Naoko rushed over to grab a hold of them, but they were already long gone, hidden somewhere in the sea of people. It was surprising, even if they came early, there were still a good amount of people here.
Subaru sighed as he looked at his parents, "Wouldn't you have some kind of contingency plan for things like this?"
"No, Isumi's normally doesn't run off, especially into a crowd..." Keinichi said while scratching his head, trying to find the two, "Looks like we let our guard down dear... now we have to find her!"
"Right then, you two have fun with that" Subaru went ahead in the opposite direction, not really caring in the slightest that the two have escaped. His parents gave him a disappointed and angry look, "Subaru, show some care here, your sister just went out unattended on her own!" His mother scolded him, but he didn't really care much.
"She's not alone, she's with Beatrice, and no matter how flimsy she looks, just one touch is all she needs to end your life, besides, I can talk to her right now… Yo, Beako, where you at?"
'I've been abducted by your sister, I suppose… even if you ask, I'm not sure where we are, but she's proposing a plan to run away and go through all the rides while your parents are searching for us, and then we'll find you all when we're hungry, I suppose"
"They say that they'll run away from you for a while then they'll come running back when they're hungry…"
"What?! The nerve!"
"Okay, now that that's settled, let's go! Bakasu!" Satella grabbed his arm and pulled him away at a terrifying speed, which is not what they should be doing, they're parents were on the brink of collapse, but Beatrice may have some fun without him for a change. If any danger were to happen, Beatrice could easily deal with it using a mana drain, nothing too flashy he hoped.
Subaru just held a sour look as she dragged him all around, "Why the face, Bakasu?"
"It's not nice getting dragged into a date that you're totally unwillingly to partake in, and I recall this really bad feeling when I'm dragged around, I'm sure you know what that means..."
"Ehe… sorry...?" Satella said while admiring the selection of rides, it was really exciting, even for Subaru, "So… what are we going on first?" He asked, now with an enthusiastic smile on his face, hidden from Satella's view.
