Chapter IX: Weller's Secrets and Obsessions
Weller was still running after the diary, which was going to Khrennikov castle by now, when Wolfram caught up with him on horseback.
"Oi, Weller-kyo! Get on the horse! This way we can catch up!"
"Okay!" He then quickly got on the horse. "This is all your fault anyway! Did you put maryoku on that thing or something?"
"Are you serious?!" Wolfram shot back. "I control fire, and I don't practice magic, you dumbass! Besides, if that was my maryoku do you think we'll be chasing it now?"
"Fine, whatever…but where did you buy that thing anyway?!" Weller shouted through the wind.
"At 'Magic and Witchcraft Unlimited'!"
"Are you serious?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"Hey! It's not like I knew it was going to speak and fly!"
"Well duh, you bought it from a magic store! What do you expect?!" Just then, he got an idea. "Wait! Let's go to the store! Maybe the vendor can tell us what we need to do in order to make it stop!" Wolfram then turned the horse and went into the direction of the shop.
Meanwhile, Anissina was getting a wrench to put the finishing touch on her new invention when the diary flew and landed itself on top of her plans. Out of curiosity, she opened it and flipped the pages.
"Hmmm, it seems to be a diary." Anissina told herself. "I wonder whose it is?" She opened a page and read.
May 15, 1093, 7 p.m.
Dear Yozak,
Random thoughts again… Remember when I told you Gwendal needs a boy/girlfriend? Well, I think I found someone for him. I think he and Günter would make a very cute couple, don't you think so? I mean, Günter is pretty, smart, talented, and good at just about anything. He's perfect! I remember the olden days when he used to teach me and I would dream about him all day… But, that's, of course, the past now. I couldn't possibly love anyone (except Hahawe and my brothers) more than Yozak… I think.
Oh, and did you know that Gwendal and Günter found out I was collecting 'bribery'? I wouldn't call it bribery, but it's just a friendly collection, you know… And I cannot believe that I have to test all of Anissina's inventions now! I mean, I want to keep my polished reputation, so whatever…
And I think this might be a little disturbing, but… Do you think I should hire a prostitute and lose my virginity? It's embarrassing, but really… I am still a virgin. –blush- Nah, I wanna lose it to Yozak… He's the only one who could ever make my first time enjoyable…
Well, whatever. Complete, total randomness.
Y-O-Z-A-K!
Cheers,
Conrad
"OMG!!" Anissina howled in laughter. "He's a… a… VIRGIN?! He's older than me, but he hasn't done it yet! And I had no idea that a mister goody-goody-two-shoe like him takes bribes! How unusual can this world get?!" She chortled and laughed until she choked.
"Are you sure this is where you bought it?" Weller asked in disbelief as Wolfram, who was controlling the horse, stopped in front of a sparkly all pink shop.
"Yeah… No offense, but I kinda felt you were gay from the start."
Weller glared at him. "Thanks a lot. That's mighty encouraging, you know."
Wolfram looked away. "Hmph, whatever. Just accept it as a fact so we can go on with this.(1)"
When they entered the shop, a pretty looking lady wearing a short pink gown and carrying a wand greeted them.
"Welcome to Magic and Witchcraft Unlimited! I guarantee you that everything you need, from love potions to magical diaries, can be found here!" The lady pleasantly delivered her well-rehearsed speech. Weller stared at her bug-eyed.
"Magical diaries?! Wolfram, so you did know that they sell magical diaries!"
"Well, yeah, but I never expected it to be this magical."
"It seems like you two have a problem." The lady butted in. "Let me see…" She waved her wand at them and closed her eyes. "You have a problem with my magical diary that I sold to Sir von Bielefeld, do you not?"
Both of them were astounded. "H-how did you know?!"
The lady rolled her eyes. "I'm a magician, duh. Anyway, I know exactly what your problem is, but let me state it first just to be sure."
"Go on then." Wolfram encouraged.
"It seems this magical diary rebelled against its owner, who happens to be Sir von Weller, because you kept writing embarrassing and disturbing things in it."
"Yes, you're absolutely right, except for one thing."
"What would that be?"
"I'm just Weller, not von Weller. My father wasn't a noble."
"And he was human too, the filthy thing!" Wolfram butted in annoyingly. Weller ignored him.
"So… can you tell me how to make the diary stop?"
"Gladly. You need to reveal all the embarrassing things that ever happened to you ever since you started writing in that diary."
Weller sighed in relief. "Oh, that seems easy… Wait, did you just say EVERY?!"
"If that wasn't what I said, then I don't know what I said."
"OMG! Every single thing? But… There are so many embarrassing things in there that I don't want ANYONE, not even Hahawe or Yozak, to know!"
"You have to reveal all of them, or else the diary is going to tell everyone every single thing that's ever written in there."
"I guess there's no choice. Come on, Wolfram!" He then grabbed Wolfram's hand and dragged him out of the shop. The lady got back to what she was doing.
But wait a minute… I forgot to warn them about one thing! Oh well… they'll come back here. And this way, I can earn more money! She then chuckled evilly and went at the back to make the potion.
End of Chapter
A/N: So how did you like it? The next chap's the ending so please stay with me! Do leave a review…
Note:
1: "Just accept it as a fact so we can go on with this": I quoted this from Legal Drug volume 2, said by Himura Rikuo to Kudo Kazahaya. I don't know if it's accurate though, I just quoted it from memory. I'm too lazy to check out the manga.
