Chapter 7 is out! Just returning back to a new semester, so I will update a bit slower. Also, since I have skipped too much, I need more time to figure out how to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

To RedBurningDragon: not exactly RIP if Kuro enjoyed it later. *lenny face* And what did you mean by 'the Right hand will be Nisa coming in with a Prinny next to her'?

All right, everyone, enjoy this chapter!


The next day, Saito's POV

Shanghai: *Pouting, while munching an apple*

"Did you girls go a little overboard with him last night?"

IF: "Of course not. All three of us had a lot of 'fun' with each other."

"Then, can you explain why he's so moody now?"

Compa says: "Well, I think we're a bit forceful at first, and the sudden command…"

"Is he really that weak when it's come to you two?"

IF giggles: "I think it's only when it's related to his personal space."

All of us are having breakfast in the dining hall now. Everyone is staring at us, since we're having a big group with many important people. Henrietta is sitting with Wales, while Malthida with Tiffania being one pair, Louise and Kirche, Aqua and Charlotte who has changed her name back, Sasha and me. Kuro, or rather Shanghai, is sitting on Sasha's shoulder, he's fuming during our conversation. Probably he's still angry at last night, or…our betrayal to him…I think it's the later.

Sasha looks at Kuro, then to us. "Is he like that every time?"

Compa: "When it's normal around, he's just his childish self."

Wales chuckles in delight. "It feels so weird when he's like this. After the display in Albion and the escape, I don't think anyone would think their savior is so..."

Henrietta giggles. "But then, if he's so serious all the time, we wouldn't have any fun time, right?"

"Of course." Wales agrees. Then: "What's he planning to do now, Saito?"

"I think he's going to train us, so that we can protect ourselves if the war comes. Oh right, Sasha…" I give Derf to her. "He belongs to you." She looks at me. "Then how are you going to fight?" "I have my own weapons, don't worry. I use him because he hasn't been used for a long time, and he also needs to have someone to talk to." She nods, and takes Derf from my hand.

"It's good to see you again, Sasha! Suddenly vanished like that…"

She sighs while smiling. "Say that to T.O. He's the one who pulled me out of the time."

Derf laughs: "I don't blame you for that. I hope you're still keeping your skills after 6000 years."

She snorts. "I should ask if you could still keep up with my skills. But on serious note, did you feel strange during 6000 years?"

Derf stops his laugh. "I…don't think so. However, I do feel like the host is going to break apart."

I blink. The host? "What do you mean Derf?" Sasha explains. "Derf is not a sentient sword, but rather a spirit that's currently living in the sword. He could transfer himself to any kind of weapons. And…wait…" She looks at her hand, the rune of Gandalfr is still there. "If I killed him already, then why…"

"That's our work." We look at Shanghai. "The rune gives you a lot of benefits, right? We decided that you could keep your rune, and all of its disadvantages are removed."

I look at him in suspicion. "Disadvantages?"

"Mind control, makes you completely obedient to your master. Memory lock, and more…"

"Mind control?" I ask him. He nods. "Memory…lock…" He nods again. "…Just how bad is this kind of spell?" "Familiar summoning spell, what do you expect? Although they don't affect much to high-intelligent like us, it doesn't mean we can be carefree with it."

All the mages look at us in fear. Fear? Louise asks: "If…you don't interfere with the spell, then…"

Kuro shakes his head. "It might alter our actions towards you two, but it also has to make adjustments so that it won't harm the summoned. But, it's not fun when you have to obey every command."

Charlotte puts her head down. "But…if it's the truth, then all of the familiars here…are forcefully…"

Kuro: "Don't think that way too much Charlotte." She looks at him, as he floats to her and pats her head. "It's true it might happen, however it's extremely rare. Also, the summon always picks the most suitable familiar for you, meaning it needs to make sure everything won't go bad after that. Of course, you girls are exceptions since he interfered with your spells." He then looks to Aqua and Wales. "I almost forgot, where're your familiars?"

Aqua: "Actually we don't need to do the summoning." Wales continues: "It's kind of a need, rather than a must. The Academy wants to teach the students about working with each others, so it's nearly a tradition to summon in their second year here."

Kuro holds his chin: "Hmm…"

Malthida suddenly asks: "Wait, if Tiffania is here, then shouldn't she…"

Kuro: "That's…a hard decision…"

I look at him. "Why? It's just a summon spell."

He looks at me. "Do you want to go through the spell again? I'm nearly you don't."

Tiffania blinks. "Uh…what do you mean?"

Sasha suddenly remembers something. "Oh right! I'm not just Gandalfr, but Lifprasir as well! But most of the time I use Gandalfr since the other power was a bit dangerous."

I look at her, two familiar runes on one person…Wait… "You're telling me Tiffania is a Void Mage too?"

Kuro nods. "It's kind of a give-away, since her mother's ring has a too powerful healing spell in it. But since she hasn't used it for large scale, nobody notices it."

Kirche: "Wait…if she's a Void Mage, then how didn't she make any explosions in the past?"

Kuro: "The concept of Void is various. Louise and Brimir are similar in term of explosion spells, Tiffania is in healing spells term. Some are in summoning spells term, while some can manipulate things in different ways. Different Void Users use Void in different ways."

IF then asks Kuro: "If so, then can they use different element spells?"

Kuro: "That's…a bit hard to say… I know one who can use ice, one uses thunder, but that's because they're using them before they know how to use Void."

Compa: "Then…what happened if Tiffania summons and…"

Kuro: "The portal would open right next to Saito. However, that's not a guarantee. She MIGHT summon someone else. Not very sure."

Malthida: "But you can stop the spell if it goes wrong, right?"

Kuro: "I don't like to test that. But, if it's necessary, then she can do the summoning spell. I won't blame her."

We nod and finish our breakfast. After that, Malthida just goes and does her job, Aqua and Sasha follows all of us to the class, and Kuro changes back to normal. Our, or rather the mages' class, is being run by Professor Colbert now.

"Hello, class. And…wow, you have a big group there." Colbert fixes his glasses when he sees us. "My pleasure to see Prince Wales Tudor and the Duchess de Orleans here." Both of them smile and wave their hands at him. He nods and starts his lesson. He teaches mostly focus on Fire and its usefulness. Sometimes he gives a bit of demonstration by using a low-class Fire spell to explain about some of his points. During the lesson, I notice that something is being covered by a white blanket. After he explains another point, I ask him while pointing to it: "What's that, Professor Colbert? Some devices of yours?"

"OH?" He looks at it. "That's right. I built it before. I'm going to show what it is later, okay?" I nod. After a few moments later, he opens the blanket, to reveal some kind of engine. All who don't know what an engine is look at it in curiosity.

"Professor…" Kirche begins. "What is that?"

"That's an engine, Kirche." Kuro answers the question. Colbert looks at him in excitement. "You have this in your world?" "Of course. But, you're the one making it, so it should be your honor to show us what you know, right?" "Thank you, Kuro. Now, with this machine, I use only fire and oil to make it work…" You guys can read the novel or watch the anime (although I haven't found it anywhere in the anime, maybe it's not there). "There, you see? The snake puppet is greeting you all."

Most students look at it unenthusiastically, including Sasha, Kirche and Louise. Charlotte, Henrietta and Wales look at it in a bit of curiosity. I, Kuro and Aqua clap our hands. "It's a nice display, Sir Colbert."

Colbert looks a bit sad at first when he sees the students' reactions, but then smiles when he hears our clapping. "Thank you, Saito. I'm very proud of it. It took me quite a while to make it."

A student suddenly asks him: "I don't see how it's going to help us in the future. What's so special about it?"

Colbert was about to answer, when Kuro suddenly asks him: "Have you thought about a horseless carriage? This engine could help you to move it without any help from the horses."

Another student argues: "Then we have our magic."

Kuro: "Then what would happen if you run out of magic?" That shuts them up.

Colbert speaks: "That's right. This engine could help you with that, even without magic. I only use my magic to ignite it, but we also can do it without magic by using the flint as well! And…" He starts talking more about his fantasies. Though, he is the same with the most scientists and researchers in the old time, so I won't say more about it.

Kirche suddenly remembers about my airbus: "Hey, Saito. Did your thing back then use this thing to run?"

I nod. "Although, it needs a more advanced version. The one Colbert has here is only used in the old time. Now, we still use oil at some places, but we mostly replace it with safer resources."

Colbert heard that and asks me. "Safer resources? What do you mean? Oil is not that dangerous, right?" He clearly doesn't know.

Aqua is the one who answers. "Saito is right, Mister Colbert. If you're not careful, your engine could cause the building to go down with an explosion." Colbert pales after he heard that. "And, if it's in the middle of the forest, well, you know the disaster…"

Louise asks her: "But then Mrs. Marietta, we could just put it out with water…"

Kuro: "Water would make the matter worse." She looks at him. "Water would make the oil spread further, the damage will be bigger." Everyone pales when they heard what Kuro just said.

Colbert asks him, a bit shaky of the visual in his head probably. "Then, how can we…"

Kuro: "In that? Use sand, a lot of sand. Either an Earth mage converts the earth around to sand to dump on the fire, or a Wind mage to blow the sand in."

Henrietta recovers after the shock and smiles. "That's a helpful advice from you, on behave on everyone, thank you very much." He shrugs. "It's nothing, really."

Colbert smiles as well. "As the Princess said to you, thanks for the knowledge. Now we know that…"

"KURO!" Agnes suddenly swings the door open and walks in, followed by some of her Musketeers. "The Queen orders your arrival. You should go to the Capital now!"

Kuro sighs, but stands up. "For what occupation?"

"It's about the war. We received intel that the Albion's rebels are preparing an attack to our country. We should…"

Kuro: "When did they get their ships?" She blinks. "What?" "I just destroyed tons of them three days ago. How the hell can they prepare another attack already?"

Agnes: "I'm sorry, but we will go into more details when we meet Your Highness."

Kuro sighs again. "Very well." He looks to us. "I'm going now. I will return back soon."

IF nods: "Be back soon." "Be careful, Kuro." Compa speaks right after that.

Kuro walks to Agnes, grabs her shoulder, and then suddenly all of them, including the Musketeers, disappear.

Colbert blinks, then looks at us for some answers. I sigh. "Let it go Colbert. You still have a class to teach, remember?"


The Castle, Kuro's POV

I teleported all of us to the palace. If the army I destroyed were just scouts, then Joseph surely has more of them under his sleeve. Agnes doesn't react much to it, probably used to it when T.O did so. The others, however, are looking around in surprise and awe.

"You don't look surprised, Agnes." "It lost its surprise moment in the second time." "Fair enough. Let us go and meet the Queen. Lead the way." "Of course. Follow me."

We head to the meeting room of this place. In there, sitting at the far side of the table, is Queen Marianne and her regent, Cardinal Mazarin. At her left, surprisingly, is King James of Albion himself, and he looks way better than he was when we first met in Newcastle. Looks like he's happier when his citizens are safe. Then, to her right, is someone I haven't seen before. However, based on how he's wearing now, which consists of a red wool cloak covering his shoulder, a light armor underneath it, and a crown on his head, I may guess that he's the Emperor of Germania, Albrecht. Three leaders of three nations in one table, that can't be good. Agnes excuses herself and walks to a wall and leans to it.

"Ah, Kuro, you're here." The Queen notices me walking in and stops her conversation with the other leaders. "I was expecting you're coming in the afternoon, but then I remembered…"

I smile and bow to her. "Good morning, Your Highness. I can't let a high authority like you waiting, right?"

James waves a hand at me when I raise my head up. "Come here, my friend. We have something to discuss with you." He pats the chair next to him. I nod and walk to it, then sit at the table.

The Queen speaks. "Kuro, you may already know king James of Albion already." I nod. She raises her palm to Mazarin. "This is Cardinal Mazarin, my regent. He helps me ruling my nation." I nod as a greet to him, and he nods back. Then she turns to Albrecht. "This is Albrecht, the Emperor of Germania. Hope you two can get along." The same happens like before.

"Madam Marianne, I don't want to be rude, but what's so important to send Agnes to retrieve me so early?"

James answers instead of her: "It's about Reconquista. They have succeeded in taking over Albion. After we left, there're even more warships approached there. Now, according to our information, they're preparing their ships and their soldiers to attack Tristain. That's why I have traveled here last night to warn the queen."

I nod then turn to Albrecht. "Then, what about you, mister Emperor?"

Mazarin interrupts me: "Excuse me, sir Kuro, but…are you a little rude to our Highnesses here?"

I blink. "My words are? If they offended you, then I'm sorry."

The Queen giggles. "Don't apologize, Kuro. I haven't told him much about you, so he only knows that you're important, somehow."

The Emperor looks at me, then asks me: "May I ask what your relationship with princess Henrietta is?"

I turn back to him. "We're just friends, why?"

Albrecht: "If you didn't know, I have an arranged marriage with Henrietta. I'm here to discuss with the Queen of Tristain about it."

I smile, however, I'm kind of annoyed on the inside. I really, REALLY HATE arranged marriage, even if it's for 'greater good'. And I'm not even sure if this Albrecht is good or bad. There're way too many problems with that in our country's history alone, and we know first hand how it turned out.

"May I ask if you love her or not?"

He blinks, then smiles. The smile doesn't hold any bad intention. "Well, love is kind of rich. Like her, definitely, everyone likes her. But love, maybe I need more time to understand her."

"And yet, you still agree with this?"

The Queen sighs and says: "I know you might have something against it, but please, understand. My country is the weakest out of all nations. It's only fair to…"

I interrupt her. "I know, I know. 'For greater goods.' But there has to be another way, right? Marriage is something extremely important to a girl. If she marries someone she doesn't hold much of a feeling to, then it's not going to turn well in the future."

Albrecht asks me: "Then, what do you suggest? I'm also not really fond of the idea, but since that's the best option they're having now…"

I pinch my nose bridge. "And I'm planning to unite this world…"

"What do you mean? Unite this world?" This time Mazarin asks me.

"I was planning to help all of the nation, including the elves' land. I'm trying to remove all bad reputation between human and elves, and help you guys in ruling this world together."

"That's laughable, mister Kuro. You know it can't be happening. The elves have gone war with us for 6000 thousands of years, they won't back down that easy." Albrecht speaks to me while smiling a bit.

"I will deal with the elves. What about building a better relationship between your nations?"

James: "Well, we're trying our best. But it won't be easy. Especially when Joseph is the king of Gallia."

I know why, but… "I take it that you all don't like him?"

Albrecht: "We really don't, even more after we found out he's the one who's behind the Rebels, aside from Cromwell."

"I see." So they found out. Good. My plan will be smoother. "Then, may I ask you all to leave Gallia to me to deal with? I will also help you with the Albion's Rebels as well."

All four of them look at me like I'm crazy. The Queen asks me: "I'm sorry, but that's Gallia's matter. Why do you think you can do anything…"

"Have you heard about Marietta?"

The Queen has a look of surprise in her face. "You know the Duchess de Orleans?" Then she turns sad. "Unfortunately, she turned ill after her husband was dead. We can't really do anything for her."

I smile. "Don't worry, she's fine now."

James: "How can you be so sure? She's in Gallia, right?"

"What're you talking about? She's in the Academy of Magic with Prince Wales now."

Obviously that catches everyone out of guard. Then the Queen suddenly remembers: "Wait, if in the time you rescued Albion's people, T.O…"

"Yep. Your guess is right." I chuckle when I see their faces right now, it's hilarious.

Albrecht asks Marianne: "What are you talking about? Who is this T.O?"

She explains. "Basically, this T.O is his brother." What? Why is she lying? "He protected my daughter a few days before, and we're in debt with him." Well, that much is still the truth, but still…

James nods, then turns to me: "So, while you're rescuing me, your brother crossed the land and saved the Duchess?"

I nod. "That's the abridged version, yes." Okay, just roll with it, for now.

Albrecht: "I see. Back to the matter at hand, what are you going to do, mister Kuro and Your Highness?"

That leaves us in silence for a while. Tristain doesn't really have much to offer Germania, aside from the resources…

Albrecht suddenly says: "You know what, the world's union might be a good trade for my help." All of us look at him now. Albrecht, of all people, would say something like that…

I ask him. "Are you sure about that? I mean, it will cost something for your army…"

"Don't worry about it." He waves his hand casually. "Besides, the relationship between the Zerbst and the Valliere is still going good, and I don't want to ruin it."

"…That…" I have nothing to say. How one renewed relationship could change an Emperor's view like that is beyond me.

"I…we…the citizens of Tristain thank you very much." The Queen says, happiness in her voice.

Mazarin continues: "We will make sure your help won't go to waste." Albrecht nods. "Then, excuse me. If there's nothing else, I will return back to my nation." We all nod, as he walks out of the door.

When I'm sure he's out of ear-reach by using my detection spell, I immediately turn to Marianne. "Why do you have to lie like that? About T.O being my brother?"

The Queen answers: "I don't want him to know, yet. The lesser people know about you, the better."

I lean back to my chair. "I suppose so. But, I'm surprised that Albrecht would offer his help that easily."

James looks at me. "You were expecting something bad?"

"Yeah. Since my past, I have to be caution about that. Don't want to take a risk." Then… "Wait, have you told Marianne about Wardes?"

The Queen nods sadly. "Yes, he did. I felt so horrible when I heard about it. Wardes was such a good noble, and yet…"

"Don't worry Madam. I was planning to get him back to our side. He still has a heart."

Mazarin: "Everything is run accordingly now. What are you going to do now, mister Kuro?"

"You two are going to recruit the men to your army, right?"

The Queen nods. "It's necessary. I hope you don't stand against us for that."

"No, no. It's a must-do, I understand. But…" I turn to Agnes. "I have a request. I want your Musketeer squad to help training the students in the Academy. I will make a reasonable schedule with the Headmaster."

Mazarin: "I understand that you want the students to keep up with study, but we're in a war time now."

"Even in war time, education is still important. My country has suffered because the kings were too arrogant to recognize that. I don't want you to be the same."

James: "You sure know much about your country."

I shake my head. "I don't dwell much into the past, but I still need to know to prepare for the future. Anyway, do you two agree with my term?"

Mazarin: "How much time do you need?"

"Three days."

The Queen tilts her head in curiosity. "You only need that much? I mean, you have to train them, right?"

"I have my way, don't worry. Mazarin, can you write down an order paper and let the Queen sign in it? If I speak without it, maybe the students won't be convinced. And… for politics reason. At least they will know the Queen allow it."

Mazarin nods. "Normally I won't take orders from everyone that easily, however, the Queen seems to respect you a lot, so I will do it. But, it might take a while. Can you wait?"

I nod. "Of course. Take your time, it's still early." Mazarin stands up and walks out of the room.

James suddenly asks me: "How is my boy doing?"

"He's in the Princess' good hand now. They're in the middle of the class when I got here."

The Queen: "I'm sorry for the sudden…"

"Don't worry. I don't really have anything to do yet."

James: "Then, what about the Duchess?"

"Recovered, and with my mistress now."

James has a question over his head. "Mistress?" Marianne remembers: "Oh right, you're here by the summoning spell, right? But why is she with your mistress?"

I snicker. "They're family."

They have a surprise face now. Then James laughs: "So THAT is why you said to leave Gallia to you. You can deal with it with no politics problems. Nice going there."

I look to the Queen. "I hope you don't have anything to say."

The Queen shakes her head and smiles. "Of course not. After all, it's GALLIA's problems, not ours." After that, we just talk about daily stories, nothing so important.

About an hour later, the paper has been signed. I took it, said goodbye to the leaders, and walked out of the door. But before I teleported away, Agnes walked to me…

Agnes: "When do you want us to come?"

"I think you can go after you have lunch. You need something to fill up your belly to fight later, right?" I make a small joke about it. Agnes just shakes her head in amusement. "I guess so. See you later." "The same to you."


I teleported to the Headmaster's Office instantly, causing both Malthida and Osmond to nearly jump in surprise.

Old Osmond: "Brimir! Don't do something like that! My heart won't take it lightly."

I chuckle: "Sorry about that, but you need to read this. It's from the Queen." I give the paper to Old Osmond. During the time he's reading it, Malthida asks me: "So the noise a few hours ago…"

"Yeah, it's the Musketeers. They're ordered to retrieve me."

"This early?"

"Albion's Rebels are going to attack Tristain. They're preparing even more warships now."

"I see. Then about the paper…"

Old Osmond answers: "It's a permission to allow the students to train. Kuro, I know you want to protect us and want us to be strong, but it doesn't mean we can abandon our education. Three days won't help either."

I smile. "I never SAID anything about you stopping your education. I just want you to make up schedule for about two hours after the study, that's all."

Old Osmond is not convinced. "That's even worse. What can you teach during two hours?"

"It's two weeks of training, is that okay?"

Silence. Then Malthida understands. "I see. You are going to transfer them to a sub-dimension, correct?"

"Yes. That's my idea."

Old Osmond has a look of understand now. "So, you want to slow down time in this world, and train the students in another area. That's good. In this way, we don't have to worry about their education being interrupted. Okay, that will do. But when will you start?"

"Maybe this afternoon. I have asked the Musketeers to train them as well. Training a large groups of noobs is not my thing."

Old Osmond tilts his head. "Noobs?"

"It nearly means with fresh recruits. It's…a bit of a slang in my world."

"Okay then."

Malthida looks at me, smirking. "Noobs? Really? Calling them noobs?"

"Hey, he agrees. They don't have any real combat experience, except maybe Charlotte and Wales, and MAYBE Louise if her mother is serious."

She shrugs: "I guess so."

Old Osmond walks to the door. "Can you two follow me please? I will make an announcement now."


The 'broken' yard, Kuro's POV

That happened about a few hours ago. Right now, many of the students are standing there, waiting for the Musketeers to come. They're extremely nervous now, since the war is coming, and they're scared that I'm going to attack them at any seconds. Well, that's how I'm going to do anyway, so it's understandable.

Wales walks to me and asks: "May I ask how much we can learn in two hours? I mean, I have trained a lot of soldiers before, and two hours are only enough for some basic movements."

I smirk, and whisper in his ear. Wales looks at me a bit, then shakes his head. "Brimir, you and your crazy plans."

Henrietta asks him when she sees us talking. "What are you two talking about?"

I wave my hand in front of my face. "Nothing much. You will know."

Adam asks me: "What are you going to teach them, anyway? I don't think you want to teach."

"That's why I leave it to you and a few more to train them. I just provide you physical requirements for you to work with."

Sasha: "You mean us, don't you?"

I smile. "Of course, who else?"

Then the Musketeers appear, led by Agnes herself. She walks to me and asks: "So, what are you going to do now?"

I smirk this time, and flick my finger…

… And we're in the middle of the Colosseum now. Well, 'we' is not very exact, since I'm in a different room, watching all of them now. Everyone is having shocked looks now, looking around them so see modern devices laying here and there. The royal couples are also surprised, even when they have seen my house. The only ones who aren't really surprise are Adam and Aqua. Malthida doesn't join us this time. Even the two elves aren't hiding their shocked faces. You're asking why the students are not afraid of them? They faced literal Death before, so elves aren't their worst fear anymore. But they're still surprised nonetheless. I decide to scare them a bit, as I press a button on the controller to open the screens on the walls.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the Colosseum." Upon hearing my voices, everyone starts looking at the screens around them to see me on the screen. "As you can see, this place has a lot of equipment you have never seen before. In here, I can give you all what you need to train, so don't hesitate to ask. Also, prepare your mind, because we're going to stay here for two weeks." And instantly all of them shout in protest about what I just said. And the most I hear is: "We're said to have only two hours of training, not two weeks." So I answer: "Two hours, yes, but you're talking about your world. In here, two weeks are just two hours in your world. Your Headmaster knew about it, and he agreed with me since it's not going to affect your education. So, enjoy your training here, and have a good day." I change the screen to a countdown clock, but I keep the audio from their side to mine, to hear the students shouting a lot, causing Agnes to silence them and starting whatever she has in mind for a training. Well, have fun everyone!


Bath house, duh, Neptunia crossover, remember?, after the first day training, Aqua's POV

"I HATE him, so much…" Louise growls in anger. We're taking a bath after that hellish training from the trainers. They include me, Adam, Wales, Agnes, Sasha and IF. Compa is only helping in some 'healing' stuffs to get the students back to the training. Cave and Lyrica stay behind to protect the school. Right now, we're just trying to get them in shape, they're not ready for anything else yet. Luckily my daughter is good, but she still doesn't have enough stamina for this. Kuro did provide us anything for a military training, but…sometimes he just went around and trolled everyone when they're trying to spar with each other. The students tried to blow him up since he's too annoying, but…either he just barrel-rolled or just straight up blocked it. In the end, luckily, we still had the training in progress, and the students also know now how to fight, just a bit.

IF: "You just have to deal with it. At least he let the students using him as a training dummy."

Kirche deadpans: "I wouldn't count him as 'training dummy', but 'annoying dummy'. Seriously, all he did was running around and messed with us."

Compa: "But you tried to hit him with your spells, right?" She nods, a bit reluctant. "He wanted you to hit him, to increase your accuracy. I won't make any excuses for his annoyance, though."

Charlotte looks at me. "Did he do things similar to this when you were…"

I nod. "Yes. But at least he's not interrupting anyone. He just wants to make everyone feel comfortable."

Louise asks: "And everyone is okay with it?"

IF: "Neptune did that all the time, and probably still now. Don't be surprised."

Montmorency asks in curiosity: "You mean the purple Goddess?"

I turn to her. "You know her?"

My daughter answers: "Actually, we talked with her and her sister a few days ago. They're stuck in another dimension, but I think that they're back now."

"I see." Still the same Neptune we know and love.

Agnes suddenly jumps in the conversation. "Was the training good enough, Mrs. Marietta?"

"I think it's okay. But I think we're going to need monsters for the students to…"

"MONSTERS? WHAT?" Louise shouts at me.

IF also has the same thought. "Why monsters? I thought this is just a human civil war."

"Joseph is a ruthless man. He would use anything to throw at us. He also has dragon knights too, so letting the students fight the monsters is a good idea."

Compa asks: "But then, which kind?"

Henrietta also asks: "And even if it's a good idea, can you guarantee everyone's safety?"

I smile. "I'm sure of that. Kuro is not going to let anyone killed. Just…severe wounded." And I receive deadpan looks from everyone. "Just put it aside from now. Let us rest and then prepare for the next workout."


Halkeginia, two hours later, Colbert's POV

"Are you sure it's a good idea to let him train the students, Headmaster?"

Old Osmond: "Oh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. Besides, the other adults will train the students. He only helps them in equipment and such…"

"But still, for two hours only…"

Old Osmond: "Two weeks, Colbert. Two weeks of training."

"…How?"

"We're talking about Kuro, right?"

I decide not to dwell in it anymore. We're standing in the 'broken' yard, as Kuro and the others dubbed it. I, like the others, was told they will be back after two hours of training. I was in my laboratory during that time, so I didn't notice the students not being around until I felt a sudden silence around. Right now, there are three of us, including Malthida.

"But, I'm sure he would train them in some ways, right?"

Malthida: "Knowing him, I think he would screw with the students, make them annoyed and they start shooting spells at him."

Old Osmond laughs: "Is that the same in your past?"

Malthida: "Regularly."

Then, a large pillar of light appears, causing us to cover our eyes. When it dies down, we can see all of the students and the trainers, but it looks like they just did something that required them to fight very hard, since they're breathing hardly, as most of them can't even stand on their two feet and have to support themselves with both of their arms. The only one who looks fine is Kuro.

I'm a bit worried as I ask all of them. "What happened everyone?" Right after I finish the question, all of them point to Kuro, they look annoyed and angry a bit.

I turn to him. "What did you do?" Kuro shrugs. "Just scare them a bit." "Scare them a bit won't cause this problem."

Adam answers: "He released a group of S-Rank dragons to us, and they're magic resistance. You know the rest."

Malthida looks at Kuro in disappointment. "Really? Just to scare them?"

Kuro: "Hey, they're okay, just a bit tired. Don't worry." Then he just walks away, like nothing happened.

The trainers are the first ones to get up, as they help the students to stand up as well. I turn to Old Osmond. "And he asked for two more days?" "Yes." I look back to the students, and sigh. "I hope this worth everything."

Two days later.

And luckily it did. The students are being in good hands, and now they can control their magic very well. Even Louise, who's supposed to have problems with it, now she can go one-on-one with a group of students with no troubles. I'm happy that they're getting better and better, but I'm also worried. The war is coming, and they have to fight for it. I was a soldier before, and I don't want them to walk in the same path as mine.

"Doesn't mean they can escape it, Colbert. They need to know about the cruel of the world."

"Even if it's the truth, I still want them to have the best time as a student with each other."

Right now, I and Kuro are in my research room. He's helping me with some formulas I have been making up. He won't give me any of advanced technology, but he gave me some ideas for me to improve my own. He didn't want this world to have technology too fast, and I understand. People can get crazy ideas when they see better things.

"The same to me with the citizens. I can only protect them to one point, they will have to deal with the others by their own."

"Then, about your immorality system?"

"Just a back-up plan for any invasions. I don't want them dead because of that."

"Right…" I then think back about my past…

"Do you want to speak to Agnes?" "For what reasons?" "You remember the event in Angleterre, right?" I turn to him and am about to ask how he knew, but then I remember what he is. "Yes, why?" "The kid you saved, it's her. Now, she's having hatred towards mages, especially Fire mages. I don't say she's wrong, but she must know that not every mage is bad, and we have a handful of examples for that." "She won't forgive me." "Doesn't mean she has to hold the grudge towards you forever. And I won't tell you to do it now. It's your choice, not mine." "I will think about it, thanks for telling me it." "You're welcome."

A few moments of us working in silence. Then… "What are you going to do tomorrow, Kuro?" "Training the students." "You said you need three days only." "They need to be on shape all the time. But they have learnt enough, they just need to remind themselves to not forget." "Alright. I won't dwell with it any longer. Do what you think it's good for them." "Roger."


One week later, Kuro's POV

"You're returning to Tarbes?"

"Yes. Are you going with me? Maybe you can find out who my mother was."

"Of course. But let me ask my wives to come. And who wants to, okay?"

"No problem, I can wait."

If you're wondering why The Creator skips to one week, then here's the answer: Reconquista hasn't attacked yet, but they're gather their troops as many as possible, since Cromwell and Joseph has probably heard about me by Wardes, and they want to make sure to win against me. And the students, the male ones, are now having the call from the Tristain's army, and they're preparing to leave the school. Also, I now notice I skipped the time too fast. But, well, OP OC is my only excuse. Sorry. Siesta is having a break, and she's returning back to her village. I take this chance to go to with her, along with few others, to see who her mother was and the 'dragon' there. Oh, and Wales has returned back safely to La Rochelle, Henrietta went back to Tristania for a while for a bit for 'politics reasons'.

I have got IF, Compa, Sasha with me. Tiffania is staying with Malthida, and Aqua with Charlotte. Kirche wants to stay with Charlotte longer for more 'bonding' time. No, it's the truth, I just want to screw with your dirty minds. Hehe.

But, I forgot one thing. Because of the time skip…

We're about to get on the carriage (I decide not to teleport this time to take the scenic road) when I suddenly feel an attack from above which is aiming at Sasha. I immediately use Last Defender to protect her, as all of us look at the attacker. It's just a flintlock shot, but still dangerous nonetheless, and the attacker is Julio, who's descending with his dragon, his gun is still aiming at Sasha. The students around start drawing their wands as well, since he just attacked us.

When the dragon touches the ground, he jumps of its back and draws his sword out, the gun is still aiming at the previous target.

Julio speaks to me when I stand between him and Sasha. "Step aside sir. I don't want to shoot you."

I don't move. "Sorry, you're aiming at my friend. Unless you want to get beaten up, then I suggest you lower that gun now."

Julio chuckles. "Beaten up? By whom?"

"By me…" I wander my finger around. "Or them." Julio now notices that the students are aiming their wands at him.

He asks me: "Why are you defending that Elf? She is…"

"An Elf? So?"

"You know we're at war with them, right?"

"Like we care. Now, do you have any other purposes coming here, rather than killing her?"

He looks at his surrounding, then back to us. Then, he pockets his gun. "I was transferred here as a student from Romalia. Name's Julio Chesare."

"Kuro. Now excuse me, we're a bit late from our travel. Welcome to Tristain's Academy of Magic."


Saito's POV

Is this the reason he didn't ask us to come with him? When Julio aims his gun up again, trying to shoot Sasha when their backs are turned, I walk up to him and put his hand down, causing him to startle a bit, but regain his composure instantly.

"You too? You're protecting an Elf?"

"We have our reasons for it." I turn to everyone. "It's okay now. Everyone, you can dismiss now." They comply and return back to what they're doing. I turn back to him. "Now, I know you're the new student, so we will let this slide. But, don't do something like that again."

He pulls his arm back and pockets his gun. "Who are you to give command to me like that?"

"Saito Hiraga, a familiar."

He suddenly gets interested. "So you are Gandalfr?"

I make a suspicious face. "How did you know?"

"People has talked about two legendary familiars here. One is a Void mage's familiar, and the other is Death. Is it true?"

"So?" Kuro's group has left the school gate.

"Then…" He walks a bit far from me, and then points his sword to me. "I want to have a spar with you."

I look at him, then turns away. "Sorry, but I don't have a mood for it now. Maybe in the future."

"Why? You're scared that you will lose?"

"No. Feel that you will go down in a few seconds. Now, you should meet the Headmaster of the school for your transfer." He's fuming a bit, but complies and walks to the Headmaster's Office, with the servants pointing him to.

Louise asks me, she's a bit worried. "Do you think he's an enemy?"

"No. Kuro never said anything about him, so I don't think he is. But he's here for a reason, I'm sure of that."

Guiche walks to me and bows. "Saito, we're going to war now. Please protect our friends here. We cannot fight the war when our girls are not safe."

I put my hand on his shoulder, as he looks up to me. "We promise you. Fight with all your strength, and return back to us. That's an order." All the boys salute to me, and I return it. They have to return, that's for sure.

The next day

After the morning routine, I walked out of Kuro's house and started heading to Louise's room. But… half way to her room, I heard her shouting, so I ran as fast as I could to her room. And when I reached the floor where her room is, the shouting stopped. I thought she was being silenced, so I opened the door the instance I reached it.

But it seems it's not as bad as I thought. In the room, Louise is hugging someone, who I feel like is a bigger version of Louise, and a blonde lady who looks a bit irritated. The room is not being messed up, much. That doesn't explain the shout earlier though.

"Uh, Louise…" All three of them finally notice me. "Why were you shouting earlier?"

"Saito!" Louise releases the older lady and stands straight up… Probably her mind is still not functioning properly after the training yet. "Uh, it's nothing! I'm not…in danger or anything."

"Your wording says otherwise Louise. Anyway, who are these two?"

The blonde lady asks me, a little bit angry: "Who are you to speak so casually towards us like that?" Then she turns to Louise, noticing she's standing in a too formal way. "Why are you standing like that, Chibi-Louise?" Louise realizes it, and lets her body relax.

I sigh, correct my stand as I speak: "I suppose I should introduce myself first. My name is Saito Hiraga, Louise's familiar. May I ask you two's names?"

The pink lady answers: "Let me answer your question. My name is Cattleya Yvette La Baume Le Blanc de La Fontaine, Louise's middle sister. And this…" She gestures to the blonde. "Is Eleonore Albertine Le Blanc de La Blois de La Valliere, my eldest sister." So, Louise's sisters? But why the shouting?

"Then, you're here for Louise, right? Then, why did she…"

Louise answers this time: "My mother wants me to return to my home." "For what reasons?" "For…" She hesitates to answer, as she swirls her fingers around.

The blonde, Eleonore, looks irritated. "Why do you want to know, commoner? It's nothing related to you." Wow, commoner…it's been a while after the fight between me and Kuro that I haven't been called a commoner. The blonde lady seems to have Louise's anger side, while the pink lady has her soft side.

I speak: "If you haven't forgotten yet, I said that I am her familiar. It's my duty to know what happened to her now."

Eleonore looks at me, a bit disbelieved, then back to Louise. "Did this person speak the truth? He's your familiar?" Louise nods. Then, she turns back to me. "Then, this is the reason: Louise will return back to our home, so that she would marry to the Duke we have chosen to fit her."

I deadpan, and look at Louise: "You know Kuro hates that, right?" She nods. "But it's my mother's order. I cannot simply…"

Can you go with her?

'T.O, what are you suggesting?'

Just come with them. I, Lyrica and Cave can protect this Academy good enough. Even Linda and Aqua are here, so there's nothing to worry.

'That's not what I'm worrying. I'm thinking about her mother's arrangement.'

Don't worry. After you talk with her, she will cancel it instantly.

'How can you be so sure?'

The only reason she arranged it because she thought Louise might not get any better with her magic. Now, she can stand on her own now, so her love life is no longer her concern.

'But even then, do you think a Noble would listen to a person like me?'

*chuckle* You will know, when the time is come.

'Both of you. No, all three of you are a handful.'

And we're proud of it.

"HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" Eleonore is standing before me while I'm talking with T.O. And she probably just asked me something.

"Excuse me. I have something in my mind. Can you ask your question again?"

She looks angry now. "Did you just ignore me like that? How dare you!" And she shouts a few more words I don't really care much.

Cattleya pulls her older sister back away from me. "Please stop shouting to the young man, Eleonore." She looks to me. "Anyway, we're going to the carriage now, so if you don't mind stepping aside…"

"I'm going with you all." That causes all of them to look at me in surprise. "Louise is my master, so I have to be on her side. Now, I will give you some time to prepare, I'm heading down now." After that, I close the door and walk down the stairs.

When I reach the schoolyard, I see Aqua walking with Charlotte and Kirche now.

"Aqua!" I call her, and all three of them look at me. "I and Louise are going to home now. Can you look after the school with Lyrica and Cave please?"

She tilts her head. "What for?"

"Her sisters just came here, and they're helping her preparing some stuffs before…"

Aqua interrupts me: "Wait, Cattleya is here too?" "Yes, why?" Then she suddenly walks to the nearby table. "Tell her to meet me here when she comes down. I need to cure her a bit."

Kirche suddenly remembers and asks me: "Right! Cattleya is the middle sister, right?" I nod. "She is sick, and none of the Water mages have managed to cure her yet." Then she turns to Aqua. "You think you can help her?"

Aqua shakes her head. "I can only improve her health. Because of this era, we haven't found out what the true cause of her illness is. When your group and Kuro's group return, Compa can check her up for better judgment."

Charlotte asks her: "Can your old magic can help her?"

Aqua nods. "It's magic, after all. It's not different very much."

A few moments later, the Valliere sisters come down, and I call them to us. When they come near, Aqua greets the girls. "Hello to you all. I hope you are still in good shape."

Both Louise's sisters are surprised that the Duchess de Orleans is here, that they kneel before her instantly. Eleonore is the one to speak first. "Duchess Orleans! I thought you were…"

Aqua: "Stand up, you two." They stand up as her command. "As you can see now, I have been cured, thanks to a dear friend of mine. Now, Cattleya, can you sit here?" She gestures to a chair next to her. The middle sister complies. Aqua puts her hands towards Cattleya, then a blue glyph shines under the sister. Everyone acts normally, except Eleonore and Cattleya who're extremely surprised now. After a while, the glyph disappears, and Aqua asks the middle sister: "How do you feel now?" She looks at her body for a while, then… "I feel better now. Thank you so much. But how…" Aqua just smiles. "Ask your mother, she will explain anything. Now, you don't want to keep your mother waiting, right?" The girls realize that, and hurriedly walk to the carriage.

Before I follow them to the carriage (The eldest sister will sit with Louise, I will be in one with Cattleya) when Aqua stops me a bit.

"What is it, Aqua?"

"Tell Karin that Aqua sends her regards, okay?"

"Aqua sends her…" I repeat it a bit, then… "OH COME ON!"


After that, in the carriage

"Did Madam Marietta say something rude to you?"

"No, nothing. It's just…her request made me realize something…"

We're in the middle of the way now. When I look at Louise's carriage, I see that she and her sister are in the middle of some conversation. But, it seems she somehow angers Eleonore even more than when we're at the Academy.

"By the way, did you know how the Duchess was cured?"

"From what I heard, my friends managed to convince the Water Spirit of Lagdorian Lake to give them one of her part, and with that they cured her."

"I see…The Duchess and my family are close friends before. But after the Duke died…"

"I heard the story too. You don't need to worry anymore." I decide to change the subject. "Do you feel better now? I heard that you were sick when you're small."

She nods. "Yes, I was."

"A…Marietta said that she could only improve your health. If we want to cure you completely, we need another friend of us. She's an expert in medical treatment."

She smiles. "Thank you very much." Then… "What's your relationship with Louise?"

I raise an eyebrow. "We're just friends, and I'm her familiar technically. Why?"

"Well, I thought it would be something more, when you're so worried about her before…"

I recall it, and chuckle: "It's nothing more than just friends. Although, I think she might see me as an older brother, or even a father…"

"Father?" She looks at me up and down. "You're not older than her much."

I chuckle again. "You don't know the half of the story…"

Uh, Adam? You might want to be careful.

'What, T.O?'

The Creator is trying to…manipulate Louise's mind a bit.

'…What?'

Kuro told you about the original you, right? The Creator is trying to pull out the same thing.

'…Tell the Creator to go to hell. No way am I going to fall in love with her.'

Hey, I said he might manipulate Louise, not you.

'…OH COME ON! CAN'T I GET A BREAK?'

Cattleya notices I'm spacing out. "Saito, are you okay?"

I return back and look at her. "Don't worry. It's nothing. By the way, what're your parents' names?"

"My mother's name is Karin Desiree de Valliere, and my father's is Antonie Hendrick de Valliere."

"And, do they love you?"

Cattleya looks at me, a bit skeptical. "Why do you ask that?"

"Both I and Kuro, one of my friends, extremely hate abusive parents. So don't be surprised if I suddenly act violent when I hear about that."

She relaxes. "That's why. No, our parents care about us. Even though they're a bit strict, they are good parents at heart." A little silence. "What about yours?"

Sorry, I'm going to skip here. You can think a background for him as you see fit. I have seen many versions of his backgrounds, so I'm not creating anymore. But, only think the Earth background, not Gamindustri's background.


Two days later

The sky has turned dark, and the two moons are above us now. A while later, I can see light emitted from the afar. Upon closer, it's from a very big mansion.

"We have arrived Saito." I nod and walk down, followed by Cattleya. Two lines of maids and butlers on both of our side are already waiting for their Mistresses to come back. All of them bow and greet them in a formal way. Man, it feels a little weird. Luckily all of the Goddesses and Kuro don't hire butlers and maids for this, otherwise…

We're inside the dining room now, as the three sisters and her mother, Karin, are eating their dinner. I have eaten a bit before I got here, so it's not a problem to me to get hungry any sooner.

But, this kind of silence…it's a bit awkward…

"Um, mother…" Louise is the first one to speak, but gets interrupted by her eldest sister.

"Mother! Tell her that she should stay at home from now on! She's probably still the same as before!" Okay, that's annoying. I don't know if this is just overprotective but she doesn't know how to express it, or just pure aggressive.

Louise slams her knuckles on the table and stands up: "I'm not the same as before! I have improved much so that I can help Henrietta as much as I can!"

"Help her? With your zero talent? Are you joking?" Wait a second, it's just about two to three weeks from the time I and Kuro arrived, right? Maybe they didn't get the latest information. But then, how can the information come so slow?

"I have been training for 7 weeks already! I can even fight against a group of students now!"

"You? Training? What kind of joke is…"

"Wait a second." Cattleya interrupts both of them. "7 weeks? It's just about 4 weeks after the opening of the new semester. What are you talking about?"

Louise, now realizing her mistakes, puts her hands over her mouth, her eyes show that she knows she screwed up. Eleonore, now looks even more furious, asks her: "What more secrets are you hiding from us? Tell us now!"

Louise was about to talk, but I walk to her and put my hand on her shoulder. She looks at me as I say: "Let me do the talking from now." She looks a bit uncertain, but then nods and sits back to her chair.

I look back to the sisters and her mother. "Tell me, what's the latest news you got? Is it related to the war between Tristain and Albion?"

Eleonore hasn't changed her attitude yet. "Why should we tell you? You're just a commoner, you can't do anything…"

"Oh, you have no idea I and Louise have actually done during her new semester." Oh, before I forget, I look at Karin. "Aqua sends her regards to you, madam Valliere." I turn back to Eleonore. "Now, if you haven't heard yet, the citizens of Albion…"

"Are safe and they're stationing at La Rochelle, correct?" Surprisingly, Karin was the one to speak that. Now all of us look at her. "One intel before said that the Royalists with the King and the citizens suddenly disappeared without a trace, even the Royal Sovereign and the Eagle as well. Then, a few days later, another said that the people in the Port City found out that both the ships have docked in their city, along with Albion's people. Now, which one is the truth, Mister Familiar?" She looks at me, her eyes look…a bit softer, and she's smiling for some reasons.

I nod. "It's the truth, both of them. Albion's people suddenly disappeared because one of my friends casted a cloaking spell on everyone, so nobody found out that they were escaping from the land. And since La Rochelle is the nearest stop…"

Karin closes her eyes. "I see. You did it again, Hybrid Heart. You always know how to give us surprise everyday." That earns confusion from the elder sisters and the servants, and surprised look from me and Louise.

Louise asks her after a full minute of silence: "Mother? How did you…"

Eleonore interrupts her: "Mother, who is this Hybrid Heart you're talking about?"

Karin opens her eyes and looks at Louise: "Your sisters haven't met Kuro yet?"

Louise widens her eyes even more. "No, dear Mother. He's heading to Tarbes. But why…"

Karin turns to the elder sisters, then back to us. "I suppose I owe you all an explanation, don't I?"


Rewind the time a bit, Sasha's POV

From what Siesta told us just a bit earlier, we're near her village now. On the way here, IF, Compa and Kuro have taught Siesta how to use magic. Siesta denied, at first, that she couldn't use it, but after being convinced by the three of them, she tried to concentrate, and surprisingly to me but not to the three, she did develop some power. But it's not some element spells, it just covered her body a bit and nothing else. Then, Kuro explained that her mother didn't use much of element spells, but rather empowered her strength. In the few hours, Siesta just tried a few different ways to convert her magic. And guess what, she actually blasted down a tree with her bare hands with no trouble.

It's a few hours ago. Now, IF is holding Kuro, or rather Shanghai, in her arms, while the doll looks like she's sleeping. Compa and Siesta are just admiring the scenery around them. I also wander my eyes too, but I feel a bit worried. I'm an elf, being hated by Nobles and maybe every human. Now, I'm really scared that the people from Siesta's town suddenly try to attack her. Even when Siesta said she will convince them…

"What are you thinking, Sasha?" Compa asks me.

"Oh, it's nothing to worry, Compa."

"I would say otherwise. You're scared, right?" IF is very sharp, from what I listened. She was the leader of the Resistance Force against the Corrupted Goddess back then. I can't really hide anything from her.

I have no choice but to nod. "Yes."

Siesta holds my hand. "Don't worry. My mother will help us for sure. And, with Kuro's help as well."

I smile. "I won't doubt that. But part of me won't give up that feeling."

Shanghai just hugs IF's arms closer to her, and makes some cute noise. We can't do much but to giggle at that adorableness. Seriously, nobody would think that doll is actually the strongest among us. Compa even pats her, and she even purrs.

I speak after a minute: "I wonder if he was born in the wrong body?"

Compa giggles. "Many have said so. However, he knows how to be a real man when he needs to be. Just like…" Then she blushes a bit. We all know what she's talking about.

A few moments later, we have reached the gate of the village. Kuro now has turned back to his normal self. We left the carriage and walked inside. During the travel, many kids have come and surrounded us, but most likely they're focusing on Siesta and me. Siesta being famous to the kids, and me for being an elf. The kids didn't show any fear to me, even the adults as well. I wonder why…

Then, we suddenly see some kind of bird walking towards us. It's mostly blue with a yellow beak, and it has a small pair of devil wings on its back. It wears a brown bag on its side, and a red scarf. What surprises me is that…it has a human-size.

"HEY! IT'S PRINNY!" Compa says excitedly and runs to it. The bird, Prinny, recognizes her, its eyes are sparkling as Compa hugs her. "How are you doing?" It squeaks in delight, probably happy that it has found someone it knows.

Kuro and IF greet it as well, as Kuro says: "Hello, Prinny. It's been a while. How are you?" It nods as a yes, then it suddenly pulls out a paper from its bag and shows it to us. There are some kind of symbols on it that we can't read, but Kuro and Siesta can.

Kuro looks at it in curiosity as he translates it. "What is this? Omae…wa…mou… oh shoot!" He cannot do anything as someone suddenly jumps over Prinny and delivers a kick right to Kuro's face, sending him back-flipping a few times before face-plants to the ground. When the person lands on the ground, we have a better view on her. She's in her 40s, with long blue hair and black eyes. She is wearing a normal housewife outfit, with apron and such, but she also has a black band on her head and black gloves covering her hands.

"SHINDEIRU! It's been a while seen I last saw you, Kuro! How have life been treating you?" The woman laughs as she says that, as the kids around…cheer for her performance. Is this a common thing here?

Kuro stands up after that. "Why?" He smiles, but his face shows that he's in some sort of pain. Probably acting though.

"Just feel like to. Also, that's for what happened back in our world! You're going to explain everything to me, THE HERO OF JUSTICE!""


Chapter 7 end!

Alright, have to confess here, the end-of-the-semester exams and the beginning of the new semester cause me to focus to my study, so this chapter might be rusty, if you have noticed it. Sorry if you want to see a better chapter than this.

I have given away too many hints, so you can guess who the Halkeginians were.

The idea of 'Two weeks here equals two days there' is from Negima. You can think that in another one, I think there're many things similar to it.

Yeah, I don't really have anything much to say now. See you in the next chapters!
