Croix asks Akko to come meet her because she wants her to help her test her new invention.
Or, the one shot where Akko realizes that not all of Croix's inventions are reliable.
Takes place after chapter 1 and 6 but before chapter 5.
So, many of you were curious about what Croix did to Akko that would make the younger witch want to turn her into a cat?
Here it is...
"Yes, this is perfect…" a lilac-haired woman kept muttering to herself while placing small metal pieces on her artifact. "I knew that my calculations were correct!"
Closing the device and placing it on the window, the scientist quickly uses her wand to turn it on, screaming and jumping in relief when her invention does exactly what she wants it to do.
"It's finished!" she screams happily while doing a victory dance around the room and the many leftover pieces that were laying on the floor. "It's finally finished!" she continues saying while laughing maniacally.
Now it was time to test it…
LWALWALWA
"Croix-Sensei?" Akko asks softly while entering her professor's room. "I'm here!" she yells after the older woman fails to come meet her.
What the hell is this room? Akko thinks and manages to avoid stepping on metal and robot parts that were laying on the floor.
Moving around, she can also see boxes and boxes of ramen left in the trash. Truly worried about her professor, she takes out her wand and uses a spell to cast some light on the room.
"Croix-Sensei?" she asks again and moves towards the bedroom. "Sensei?" she knocks before entering and exhales in relief when she notices familiar lilac-hair coming from the bed.
She's not up?! Akko huffs and taking charge, jumps on top of the bed and the woman laying soundly on it.
"I have done nothing!" Croix screams while getting up and immediately hearing her favorite brunette's laugh. "AKKO!" she scolds the younger girl. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"You knew I was coming." Akko tells her simply while getting off the bed. "And you were the one that called me yesterday asking me to meet."
"I did?" the lilac-haired woman asks confused but then remembers what she did last night. "I did!" she exclaims happily. "I called because I need your help in testing my newest invention."
"Invention?"
"Yes!" Croix exclaims proudly while showing her a small watch.
"A watch?" Akko asks confused. "I think those were invented a long time ago." the brunette tells her sarcastically.
"Cheeky." the older witch playfully hits her on the shoulder. "Although that may be, this is the first time someone has invented a watch than can be used to travel through time."
"Time travel?" now Akko is interested. "Like what you see in the movies?"
"Yes!" Croix says excitedly. "I managed to create a watch that can take you anywhere in history."
"That sounds incredible." the younger witch admits carefully. "But also dangerous." she then gives Croix a warning look. "Does the Ministry know you're doing this?!"
"Of course!" the woman says hurt. "They were the ones that gave me the material and the resources for the research. Although they don't know that I succeeded…"
"Croix-Sensei!" Akko scolds her.
"I just finished it last night!" she justifies herself. "Besides, I need to try it first before I officially tell them that it's done."
This makes Akko relax.
"Then why am I here?" she asks curiously.
"Because I wanted to see you." Croix admits embarrassed and it makes the younger witch smile warmly. "And so that you can come with me and see how it works."
"I missed you… Wait, go with you?" Akko shrieks. "Go where?"
"TO THE FUTURE!"
"And spoil my future to myself?! Hell no." Akko says immediately.
"But…" Croix says with puppy eyes. "You're the only one I trust."
"No, you're manipulating me." the brunette says simply. "Because you know Ursula-Sensei would never go along with this. In fact, does she know you're making this?"
This makes Croix look away from her.
"Don't you want to see what your future life with Diana will look like?" she tempts the girl who for the first time seems a little torn.
"Seeing that Diana and I are together in the future does sound nice…" Akko admits softly. "But wouldn't our presence change or affect anything here?"
"No, because it will be the future. If we manage to change something, it won't affect the past because it already happened."
"Mmm, that makes sense…" the younger witch says to herself. "Ok, I will go with you."
"Yes!" Croix says excitedly while putting some clothes on and grabbing some tablets from the bed-table.
"You need all of that?" Akko asks worriedly.
"Relax, it's so that I can record and write everything concerning the experiment. I need to show evidence to the Ministry that the device is functional and reliable."
"And is it reliable?"
"As reliable as I am." Croix says cheekily.
"That is what worries me." Akko closes her eyes but still grabs Croix's hand when the older woman offers it to her.
"Ok, so the date I chose is ten years from now." she informs the younger witch. "But, we do have to go to an open field." the woman explains while using her magic to transport them outside the building.
"Why outside?" the brunette asks curiously.
"This building may not be the same in the future." she simply explains. "So, it's better to be in an open space that we know will still be there. Now, are you ready to start our adventure?"
Akko takes a deep breath and nods in confirmation because, although she teased Croix-Sensei a lot, she knew the woman would never put her in harm's way.
"Watch ready!" Croix informs Akko. "Magic ready!" she continues saying excitedly while magic started concentrating on her wand. "Now, descorto tempo!" she screams and the two witches disappear in a ray of green light.
LWALWALWA
Opening her eyes, Akko notices that they're standing in the same place where Croix-Sensei started the spell. Confused, she takes a quick look around and sees that nothing has changed. In fact, it looked exactly the same. The building where Croix-Sensei was currently living was still behind them and the town looked very similar.
Has nothing truly changed in ten years? Akko thinks worriedly.
How boring…
"It looks the same as it did before." Croix says disappointed while taking her tablet out and writing on it. "The future, from first glance, does not have extreme changes or advances. In fact, it's quite disappointing to see that neither technology nor magic have made drastic advances."
"Yeah, weren't things supposed to get better by breaking the seal of the Grand Triskellion? Shouldn't there be more people in town wanting to learn magic? I mean, on my way to your house I noticed a bigger quantity of visitors. And here, it seems like it has decreased. How could that be?!" Akko asks desperately.
What they did, had it all been for nothing?
"You're right about that." the lilac-haired woman agrees with her tersely. "I don't like this…" she takes her watch out and opens her eyes in shock. "Oh no…" she whispers.
Oh no…
"Did you just say 'oh no'?" Akko asks her carefully. "After taking your watch out?"
"Perhaps?"
"What do you mean perhaps?!" the brunette screams and earns the attention of some of the people surrounding them. "What happened?!" she whispers angrily.
"Well, we are no longer in the present…" Croix starts by telling her the positive. "So that part of my invention worked."
"And what part didn't work?"
"The part that had to take us to the future."
"So, if we did travel in time, and we're not in the future…" Akko says worriedly. "We're in the past?! The place where we were supposed to not go to?!"
Croix closes her eyes and nods in resignation.
"How?!" the brunette witch starts having a panic attack. "And when exactly are we?"
"It seems that the circuits I used to set the dates exploded because of the strength of the magic…" the lilac-haired woman explains carefully to her. "And about the time…" she chuckles knowingly. "It seems that we're just a couple of days after Diana came back from the Cavendish Manor."
"Wait, so you mean to tell me that we traveled to a time before the seal was broken and that no one, apart from us, knows that this will happen?" Akko asks worriedly.
"Yes." Croix explains to her. "But that is of no concern to us since things will continue to move forward even with our presence here. The seal of the Grand Triskellion will be broken soon enough."
This relaxes Akko a little.
"But, do we have to wait until that happens? Does this mean that we're stuck here?" she freaks out again and feels that she's going to faint.
"Of course not!" Croix promises her immediately. "I know I can fix this." she says confidently. "Although we need to go get the parts I need to do so."
"And where are the parts?" she asks the older woman thinking that she already knows the answer.
"In my lab at Luna Nova." the woman shrugs her shoulders and Akko knows that this means trouble.
I will kill her…
"The lab where you happen to be most of the time and where you have hidden that dark Shiny Rod?" Akko looks knowingly at her.
"I did go out to teach!" Croix says insulted. "I wasn't a NEET! Besides, no one will suspect of me going inside my own lab. Or did you happen to forget that I look the same as my past self."
Ok, that did help.
"Ok, so that means we have to make sure of not talking and seeing anyone from this time. I know of a path to school…" Akko starts saying to Croix but is interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Akko?!" both witches from the future turn around to see a worried and angry Ursula making her way towards them.
Shit… both think at the same time.
"Akko…" Ursula tells her carefully. "What are you doing here?"
This makes Akko look panickily at Croix who decides to intervene.
"Ch… Ursula-Sensei…" she corrects herself because she had not told this time's Akko the truth about Chariot yet. "I was just talking with Akko about some questions she had in regards to my class."
"In town?" the now blue-haired woman asks her warily.
Damn it, Croix thinks bitterly, in this time Chariot doesn't trust me.
Not that I blame her…
"I was on my way back to school and I had offered Akko to walk with her."
"That's alright." Ursula immediately says to them. "I can go with her since there's something I want to talk to her about."
"Sure thing." Croix merely raises her hands before giving Akko a knowing look. "I'll be seeing you around Akko."
I will go straight to my lab…
"Yes Croix-Sensei." Akko watches Croix get close to her and grab her hands tightly.
This makes Ursula-Sensei flinch.
"I want to thank you for your assistance today." she simply tells her and Akko feels a small cellphone on her hands.
Quickly putting it away without Ursula-Sensei noticing it, she merely nods and watches her professor go.
"Akko…." Ursula-Sensei tells her hesitantly. "Did Professor Croix say something strange to you?"
"Nothing, she just wanted to talk to me about my notes in her class. After that, I offered to help her with carrying some materials she bought for her inventions." Akko tries to say normally.
"I thought you were going to stay at school and practice on your spells, perhaps try to find the missing word?"
"Oh, I was." the brunette says worriedly. "I mean I am." she corrects herself. "But I haven't found anything so I thought that taking a walk and seeing town would help me clear my head."
"I see." Ursula smiles warmly at her and this smile Akko recognizes.
"How come you're in town Sensei?"
"I guess I came to just take a walk as well." the older witch tells her warmly.
"So… since both of us just happened to be here to take a walk, how about we go get some tea?" Akko proposes to her mentor who chuckles warmly at her and nods in agreement.
Maybe this would give Croix the time she needed to get the parts from her lab.
LWALWALWA
What was I doing today? Croix murmurs to herself while going through Luna Nova's front gates.
Seriously, her memory was terrible and right now was the moment she needed it the most. Closing her eyes in resignation, she had to think of a way to make sure that her past self was not in the lab right now. But, since it seemed that it was a weekend, it was very likely that she was going to be there working on her mechanical monster.
Then that means I will have to create a distraction for myself!
But what will be interesting enough to distract me and yet not make me suspect that something else is going on?
Concentrating on past events and situations, Croix is troubled and disappointed to realize that during that time all she was worried about was the Noir Rod and showing Chariot and the rest of witches that she could be the chosen one.
I had no life…
And hence, without any other choice than to use her own magic and somehow infiltrate her lab, Croix went straight for it. She knew that her defenses were good and that her past self would quickly believe that it was Chariot the one trying to pass. So, after making sure that all the cameras were turned off, Croix quickly ran inside the room and used enough magic to awaken the magical creatures protecting the stairs.
After leaving a drone that would make the beasts believe that they were fighting a person, Croix relaxed and eliminated all traces of her magic before going through a secret door. She had made it in case she needed to escape or someone happened to find her inventions before they were ready. It was a little ironic that she was now using it to infiltrate her own lab.
Exhaling in relief after the long climb up the stairs, Croix takes out her wand and pours magic into it so that the door opens. Lucky for her, the lab didn't look much different to her current one and she immediately went to where the parts for her watch would probably be at.
Muttering and cursing herself for her own disorder, Croix shrieks happily when she finds what she needs. Taking enough in case something were to happen again, the lilac-haired woman closes and leaves everything in place before planning to exit this horrible building.
"It seems…" Croix flinches when she hears a very familiar voice. "That we have a thief." her past self exclaims darkly. "Now, how about you return that which you stole from me and turn around so I can see you."
"I don't think that's very wise." she replies softly and knows her other self has noticed their similar voice.
"Turn around." past Croix orders her and Croix can't do nothing else but agree.
Hoping that nothing happens after both of them see each other, Croix turns and waits for the worst to occur.
When a couple of seconds go by and Croix feels that she's still alive, she opens her eyes to see her own shocked face staring blankly at her.
"What…" the woman murmurs worriedly. "What is going on?"
"I can explain this…" she says calmly and closes her eyes when her past self faints because of the shock.
"Figures…"
LWALWALWA
"So then I happened to be falling from my broom because I didn't realize that I needed to have magic in order to fly…" Akko finishes telling her first failed flight attempt to Ursula who is laughing loudly at her story.
"That's very funny." Ursula tells her happily. "And it seems like your determination has been a present trait since your childhood."
"More like stubbornness." the brunette smiles warmly. "Sometimes I wish that I knew of when to stop. Would have saved me from a lot of bruises and scars."
This makes the older woman stare curiously at her while walking side to side.
"Something's different about you, Akko." Ursula says carefully. "It's like I'm talking to you, but you've experienced more things and are more in control of yourself and your desires."
"Is it?" Akko laughs panicked.
Damn Ursula-Sensei and her ability to see right through me…
"I can't quite understand it myself." Ursula continues saying.
"I mean, I think I have changed." the young witch says and prays for some kind of help.
And there, a couple of steps away from her, Diana was exiting the town's library.
"Diana!" Akko screams and sees the girl turning to look for the person that was calling her.
"Akko." Diana smiles softly at her before noticing Ursula there. "Professor Ursula."
"Diana." Ursula gives her a warm smile. "Although I haven't had the time to speak to you since your return, I'm glad to see you back at Luna Nova."
"And I am glad to be back as well." the blonde witch tells her honestly before turning to look at Akko expectantly.
Oh that's right, I was the one that called her…
"Sorry I kept you waiting!" she apologizes to Diana who looks confused. "But I ran into Ursula-Sensei and when I looked at the time I realized that I was a little late."
"What?" the blonde asks her confused.
"You know…" Akko grabs her hands and squeezes them tightly hoping the girl understands what she wants. "We agreed to spend some time together so you could explain to me some spells you used in the manor?"
Diana stays quiet for a while and Akko thinks that her cover will be blown.
"Oh that's right." Diana says confidently. "Don't worry Akko. I also lost track of time in the library. But, we could still talk if you wish?"
"Only if you don't mind?" Akko asks Ursula this who merely gives her a bright smile.
"Of course not." the older witch tells her knowingly and waves to Diana before turning the other way.
Diana somehow is always saving me from trouble, even without knowing she's doing it, Akko thinks while watching Ursula walk back to Luna Nova.
That was very close…
"Akko…" she hears Diana's no-nonsense voice calling her name. "Would you like to explain to me why I had to lie to Ursula-Sensei?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you…" Akko says to her with a soft smile and this makes the older witch stare curiously at her.
"You're not my Akko." Diana says simply and this makes Akko stare shockingly at her.
"What… What are you talking about?"
"The Akko of my time…" the blonde witch explains calmly to her. "Does not have this scar on her face." she points to the wound she obtained from Wagandea.
"I fell earlier…"
"That's a lie." Diana tells her simply. "I thought…" she whispers vulnerably. "That after what happened in my house we grew closer. Did that not happen when you're from?"
"It did happen!" Akko promises the girl she loves immediately while holding her hands.
We grew close alright…
"Then why not tell me the truth?"
"I… I actually don't know what do right now." Akko chuckles bitterly. "I was supposed to not let anyone know that I come from the future and yet Ursula-Sensei almost found out while it only took you one look at me to figure it out. But then again, it doesn't surprise me that my girlfriend happens to be the one that sees right through me."
"Your girlfriend?" Diana asks her shocked and Akko wants to jinx herself and her big mouth.
She was so screwed…
LWALWALWA
"Where am I?" her past self asks after regaining consciousness.
"In your evil lair." Croix informs her doppelganger calmly.
"So it wasn't a dream. You're actually here."
"Of course I am! Who do you think carried you all the way to your bed!"
"This is a lot to take in." past Croix admits and this makes Croix calm down.
"I know… And I would have preferred for us to not meet. But, it seems like it was inevitable."
Past Croix then stares questioningly at her.
"You come from the future." she simply says while groaning in pain. "Did I hit my head?"
"Yes, when you fainted I couldn't catch you before you hit the ground."
"Figures…" the lilac-haired woman mutters. "If you're from the future, why are you here? I know we're clever enough to not try to change the past."
"Indeed." Croix agrees immediately. "The fact that I'm here is all an accident. I planned on going to the future but somehow ended here."
"Somehow…" her past self chuckles knowingly. "You mean you won't tell me what went wrong so I don't try to make the artifact you used."
"You're not ready…" Croix tells her seriously.
"You're different. Happier…" past Croix tells her longingly.
"For the first time in a long time I can say that I am truly happy."
"Then that means we succeeded! We broke the seal of the Grand Triskellion."
"The seal was broken." Croix gives her a soft smile. "But not by us."
This makes her past self look down in sadness and desperation.
"Then how can you look so happy and at peace?"
"I'm happy because I'm free of all this pain and hatred." she says warmly. "And it took me a long time to get to this point." she stares at herself. "But I would never think of changing the path I took to get to where I am."
This makes her past self simply stare at her, confused about what was happening.
"Help me." she asks her hesitantly.
"Why would you need my help? You could easily incapacitate me and take what you need."
"You know it's not that simple now that you saw me." Croix explains to her past self.
"You mean you want me to drink a memory potion so I forget we met."
"It's for the best that you don't remember me and start questioning your every decision."
"So you know what I plan to do and you won't stop me." past Croix asks her incredulously.
"I'm not because the mistakes of my past have made me who I am. And luckily enough, I have people now that love me even with these dark parts." Croix tells her honestly and it seems that this is what her past self has wanted to hear.
"Do you mean Char will forgive me?" she whispers vulnerably. "Even after all of this?"
"Unbelievably she does." Croix smiles dashingly at her past self. "But then again, you know how wonderful and pure Chariot can be."
"Indeed I can." her doppelganger says while chuckling sadly. "Alright…" she says honestly. "I will take the potion."
"Good!" Croix tells her proudly. "Let me send a message to Akko so she can get the ingredients we don't have here."
"Akko?" her past self asks confused. "You traveled with her?"
"A lot has happened…" Croix tells her with a mischievous smile. "And, since you will forget anyway, would you like me to tell you some fun stories until she gets here?"
LWALWALWA
"So you mean to tell me that together we broke the seal of the Grand Triskellion and returned magic to the world?" Diana asks her while drinking from her tea.
"Yes, we fought a missile that was possessed by a demon Croix-Sensei created in the middle of space!" Akko tells her excitedly. "It was incredible."
"And when was it that our relationship changed from friends to lovers?" the blonde girl asks her this while blushing profusely.
"Well, I knew that I had feelings for you since I went to get you back to Luna Nova. But, I wasn't sure if you could feel the same for me until we returned to school and started spending time together." the brunette witch chuckles warmly. "I was pretty obvious and direct with my flirting. And, since you never told me to stop, I assumed that it was possible for you to like me as well."
"I see…" Diana tells her softly and hesitantly puts her hand on top of hers. "And… do you think your past self feels the same?"
"Well…" Akko tells her confidently. "She did go to get you back, right?" she asks her knowingly. "And if she's anything like me then I'm sure she's already crazy about you. I know I was."
This makes Diana blush even more than before.
"I wouldn't be opposed to that…" the blonde witch admits softly. "Although it upsets me a little to now be aware of what is going to happen and not be surprised when my Akko confesses her feelings to me."
This makes Akko look down in sadness at having messed that up for her girlfriend.
"It's not your fault." Diana squeezes her hand.
I know, it's Croix-Sensei's fault… she thinks before hearing her phone ring.
Taking it out, she notices that she just got a text from said woman.
Her timing is truly fantastic…
Croix-Sensei: I already got the parts we need for the watch. Come to the lab and bring me some dark nectar leaves and a frog for a forgetting potion.
Akko: Why would you need a forgetting potion?
Akko: Also, would that be enough for 2 dosages?
Croix-Sensei: Why would YOU need a forgetting potion? *smirk*
Akko: I'm on my way.
"Who was it?" Diana asks her after Akko has put her phone away.
"It was Croix-Sensei…" she tells Diana simply. "She has found a way for us to go back."
"That's great Akko!" the blonde witch tells her happily.
"And…" Akko says this hesitantly. "She may also be able to give you a forgetting potion."
"That way I will not remember meeting you or what you've said to me." Diana says sadly.
"Which is how it should be." the brunette witch gives her an encouraging smile. "Besides, don't you think that it's unfair for my past self to not be the one that sees you blush after a compliment or how truly surprised you will be when she confesses to you?"
This makes Diana close her eyes determined.
"I will drink that potion." she says simply and Akko kisses her on the cheek, which makes the blonde heiress blush.
"Thank you." Akko tells her warmly and pays for their tab before flying back to Luna Nova.
It was time to go home to her own Diana.
LWALWALWA
"And then she said: Because I, Diana Cavendish of the Cavendish Family, challenge you, Andrew Hanbridge, to a duel!" Croix finishes saying while laughing loudly.
"No way!" past Croix tells her while cracking up. "She really said that?"
"She totally did!" the lilac-haired woman promises her doppelganger. "Even produced a sword for the man so they could fight for Akko's hand."
"That's hilarious!"
"I know!" Croix says happily. "But let me tell you, when that girl has to fight or do something for Akko she goes completely bonkers."
"Who goes completely bonkers?" the two older witches hear a familiar voice ask them from the door and they both see Akko coming with Diana next to her, who watching all the machines and the tools Croix had in the lab.
"Akko!" Croix says and hugs the brunette tight. "I'm glad to see you're alright."
"It was only a couple of hours." Akko blushes but still accepts the older woman's hug.
"And…" the lilac-haired woman adds devilishly. "I can see that you couldn't stop yourself from talking with your girlfriend."
"It was an accident." Akko murmurs apologetically and then stares at her double. "But what about you, Sensei? You were the one who said that we couldn't let our past selves see us and yet here you are telling jokes and anecdotes!" the brunette witch hits her softly on the head. "What the hell is the matter with you?"
"We were bored of waiting Akko!" Croix tells her childishly. "So I started telling my past self about the time Diana challenged Andrew to a duel because he confessed to you."
"Andrew confessed to you?!" Diana asks Akko hurt.
"She rejected him." past Croix tells her confidently. "But you still went ahead and showed him, and all of Luna Nova, who was the boss by beating him in a fight."
"You mean to tell me that I claimed Akko as my own in front of the whole school?"
"Well, you confessed to her earlier after touching a truth stone." Croix says simply. "Which I guess means that you claimed her as your own even earlier."
"Croix!" Akko screams at her while trying to grab her. "What the hell is the matter with you?! Are you even real?"
"Although the idea of having the whole school hear what I feel for you is not very soothing, it does make me feel relieved to know that I showed Andrew that I am better than him at everything." Diana says happily.
"Of course you would only take that from what the Croixs have said." the brunette witch says resigned. "Now that we have talked about the future and are doing our best to gloss over the fact that we're all in a creepy evil lair…"
"LABORATORY!" both Croixs correct her immediately.
"How about we do the potion so that we can return to our time."
"The potion is done." Croix says happily. "All it needs is for you to put the leaves and the frog."
"And that's it?" Akko asks suspiciously.
"Memory potions are very simple to make." Diana is the one that explains to her. "It is the ingredients that are very difficult to obtain."
"Lucky for us I happen to be an apothecary in my spare time." past Croix explains to them proudly.
"As a hobby?" Akko says worriedly. "No, I won't even think about it. Just show us where the potion is so we can put the ingredients in."
"Right here." Croix points towards a cauldron and Akko quickly puts them in and the potion changes color from red to white.
"That's the color it's supposed to be." Diana says and gulps in hesitation at knowingly drinking something that will make her forget a part of her life.
"I know that you're not very comfortable with this…" Akko says softly to her. "But we both know that it's for the best."
"I promise you that it won't hurt at all and that you will remember coming back from town alone and going to your room to take a nap." Croix is the one that lets her know all the details. "While you will not remember me or the fact that I tried to enter the lab."
"We did reset everything so that I wouldn't notice anything amiss." past Croix gives her a soft smile. "Which means that all that's left to do is drink." she purrs two cups and gives Diana one of them.
"Thank you." Diana says softly to her. "I'm looking forward to knowing this new you after this is all over." she tells past Croix with a warm smile and drinks the cup.
"As I am of getting to know you two." past Croix says to Akko and Diana before drinking from her cup as well.
After a couple of seconds, Akko and Croix see that the two women from the past are sound asleep and they use their magic to transport them to their own beds.
Closing their eyes and relaxing at the fact that somehow everything had been fixed, Akko gives Croix a dangerous smile.
"You know…" the brunette witch tells her confidently. "It will take me a while to forgive you for this."
"For what?" Croix asks curiously while putting the new coordinates on the watch.
"For making me give Diana drink a forgetting potion."
"But she won't remember she did it!" the lilac-haired woman exclaims and both see the watch taking their magic.
"Still, you have been warned." Akko smiles at her and grabs her hand before Croix says the spell.
"Descorto tempo!" the older witch says and again the two of them are transported in a ray of light.
LWALWALWA
"You said…" Akko murmurs menacingly to the inventor while looking around her. "That you knew how to fix this…"
"I know how to fix this!"
"Then why?!" the brunette witch asks loudly. "Are we in the future and not at home?"
That… Croix thinks worriedly… Is indeed the question.
