"Dude, Crysis is that strong? Man, I would fight him in the future, if you don't mind."

Saturday, Kuro's room

*Arms stretching* Clem groggily woke up from her sleep with her eyes still closed. On instinct, she sent out a subtle wave of energy to see anyone around her. And with the power returning back, she can 'see' the room: Negi was working on the blueprint Eishun gave to him before the end of the school trip. Her Dada was playing some fighting games with Chaos, with Death watching them from the behind. She jumped out of her bed and sat next to Death. "Oh hey Clem, good morning." "Why didn't you call me up?" "Who would want to disturb your beautiful sleep? Besides, you looked cute." The girl just giggled. "Thanks." Then she noticed a plate of chocolate on the table. "What is this?" "Oh! That's from Negi. He ordered a few of them to test something." The girl just nodded and picked one of the pieces up. "Hm…" She then ate it. "Delicious." She then jumped up to where Negi and Chamo were. "Hey, Negi! What are you doing?" The boy turned back and answered: "Oh, good morning Clementine. I was checking the map of Mahora Academy mister Konoe gave to me. It seemed my father was researching for it while he was in that room." "Oh really?" The girl then leaned on Negi's shoulder, though she did it lightly so it wouldn't hurt the kid teacher. "Though it was in codes, so it might need a few days for me to decode it." The girl looked to see what the codes were… 'Um…Creator? Those aren't codes…' Yeah, they aren't. But let Negi think so. It would be fun to see his reactions when he finds out. 'Oh… *Giggle* He's still a child, you mean?' You too, both of you. Then the girl leaned even more, to the point her cheek touched Negi's. "You're really motivated about it, aren't you?" "Yeah. This could give me a lot of planning to do, and as a teacher, it will be hard for me to complete in a short time, but I will try my best!" And only to this point, Negi noticed how close both of them were right now. "Um, Clem? You're a bit too close…" "Hm? Oh, sorry." Clem recognized their positions, and she pushed herself out.

Ruby: "*Notices how annoyed I sound now* Are you okay? Did something happen here?" "You will know."

"Clem?" She looked down from the garret to see the game has been paused, and Kuro's looking at her. "Can you go with Negi to Eva's place? He said he wanted to go there to ask for her assistance." "For what?" "Learning magic." "We could…" "Ours are different from them. We can't use the same way to help each other. We can help them controlling their magic, but that's it." "Oh, okay!" She turned back to Negi. "When would you want to go?" "If you don't mind, then in the afternoon."

"NEGI-SENSEI!" And a quarter of class 3-A started entering Kuro's room, and made a party without even noticing Kuro was there at all. Though, he didn't mind as he kept playing the game (Death and Chaos disappeared after they noticed people heading to his room). Fuka and Fumika eventually saw him and started joining him as well.

'As cheerful as the Goddesses.' 'They are. And it's fun.' 'Say… did you feel something different?' 'Yeah… a little bit… probably nothing.' 'You sure about that? I feel a little hot in here.' 'Hot? Today is a bit hot, so…' 'Hmm… maybe so…'

"Um, Clem? Can you get out of Negi-sensei?" That snapped the girl back to reality as she looked at the speaker. Setsuna was pointing to someone, as everyone else just blushed/astonished at what happened before them. Clem blinked, then turned to her right, to see that Negi was currently in her arms for some reasons. "Oh, sorry…" The boy's blushing as well, as everyone else started asking about how Clem felt about it. During when Clem tried to answer the questions as vague as possible, she noticed her grandfather regularly glaring at her for some reasons. 'What is that, Dada?' 'Nothing. Just seeing how you're dealing with this.' "Granddad… you know something…' 'You will know soon enough.'

Time skip

"So this is where Eva lives?" "Yeah. I'm a little surprised. But, considering who she is, maybe it's for the best." The two have reached to the cottage, and Negi knocked on the door. A few seconds later Chachamaru, in a maid outfit, opened the door and invited the two in.

…

"You want me to teach you magic? Remember that I'm still not considering you as friends yet. *Sneeze* And I thought that Kuro would help you?" "He said he can't really help, since our magic systems are different. And you're the strongest around here." Negi was trying to negotiate with the Vampire, who's having the allergy to pollen, while Clem stood at the background to watch with Chachamaru. After a few words exchanges, Eva decided: "Since I'm still owning him, maybe even for my whole life, I will give you a chance to prove you're worthy of becoming my apprentice. Next Saturday, before the World Tree. You will fight Chachamaru there. You have one week to prepare yourself." "Thank you very much, Eva!"

The Shinso Vampire then noticed Clem standing there, not because she didn't know she was with the young teacher, but the fact that: "Hey, Clem. Why are you radiating your power around you?" The girl blinked again. "I am?" "You didn't even notice?" "No… oh, maybe that's why Yami felt hot." "Just turn it off. I don't like my house turning into a furnace." "*Cutely poke her tongue out* Sorry."

Weiss: "*Realizes something* Don't tell me it's something embarrassed?" "In the same line, yes."

During the walk to the library

"Clementine? You're a bit clingy today. Did something happen?" "No… I just like hugging you, that's all." Everyone's whispering to each other, and even cheering a little bit to the 'couple', as Clem's wrapping her arms around Negi's left arm, and they're very close to each other.

'Clem, stop radiating power! I'm sweating!' 'Sorry, sorry, Yami. But it just came out of control for some reasons.' 'Urgh, Granddad knew this would happen. We're going to ask him why this is happening.'

"Clem? Your face is turning red. Are you feeling okay?" Negi then put his free hand up to Clem's forehead… "Eek, your head's burning!" Clem raised one of her hands up to check. "Really? I feel nothing." "Really? But…" He then noticed an ice cream cart nearby. "Hey, how about we stop at that ice cream cart? Maybe it could help your power problem." "Maybe…"

'Can you change with me for a while, please? It's too hot in here!' 'That much? Okay, change time!'

Negi has bought three cones for himself, Chamo and Clem, and walked to the girl, who's sitting next to the water fountain. "Here you go, Clem." "Thanks!" The girl, too cheerfully, received the cone and immediately bit on the cold treatment. "*Shiver in satisfaction* This is completely opposite in there!" Negi sweatdropped at how Clem instantly changed after just one bite, then he noticed the change of air around the girl. "Um… you are Clem, right?" The girl said nothing as she's too focused at her ice cream. Then, after a few more bites, she said: "Not exactly. I'm her Dark side, the name's Yami. I'm asking her to change place for a bit, since she's radiating heat too constantly!" The girl whined at how she was feeling back then. "Wait, so the reason she's not feeling the heat…" "It seems only her inner side gets heated up and not outside. I don't know why." "Let's finish the ice creams and cool off before we continue, okay? We can't let you collapse in the middle of the way." "Don't worry, we won't. But it's better to cool down first."

'Sorry for not noticing earlier, Yami.' 'Don't worry. Also, I will turn back after I finish the ice cream.' 'There is…' 'We're going to meet the Librarian Trio, two of them didn't know about me. It would be weird if they see me.' '…You have a point.'

The library

"Hello Sensei, hello Clem. What do you need from us?" Words exchange. "Map of Mahora? Not even the university has a map this detailed! Your father was researching about this?" "It was confirmed by his friend, so I think it's true." "Then Mahora holds more secrets than we thought! And you want us to help you finding them?" "Sorry if what I ask you is too…" "Don't worry! We understand. The Library Expedition will help you with this!" "Thank you so much."

And with that, Nodoka walked in with bottles of juices in her arms. "Sorry Yue, the tomato juice is sold out… Oh." Upon both met each other's eyes, Negi and Nodoka took a little moment… before bowing "Good day!" and knocking each other right at the head. And immediately they started apologizing to each other…

'You did it again!' 'Did what?' 'Stop with the heat radiating! It's like when… Oh so that's why!' 'What?' 'That damn chocolate! It must be some types of Love Potion! All the affections on Negi, that's because of it!' '… That makes sense…' 'And your REAL feeling towards him makes it worse!' '… But, I don't like him… that much, right?' 'That's the power of Love Potion. Damn, now I know why Granddad is always scared of his third wife when she drinks them…'

"Did I smell Love coming from you girls?" Haruna suddenly pointed her accusing finger towards Clem and Yue, causing the later to immediately shout in denial, while the former tilted her head in 'confusion'. Luckily Negi has done with his conversation with Nodoka, and he managed to pull Clem out of her problems and got out of the library with his thank towards the trio.

Yang: "*Snicker* Not fun, when some shipping happened out of your knowledge?" "Especially when it comes to my relatives. But I can't complain. Like I said, their life, their choices."

Monty: "Love Potion again? You sure have rotten luck with that thing." "After seeing Charlotte using that, I have PTSD about that. Don't need to say twice how I was feeling when one used them."

During the walk…

"Um, Negi? May I ask about the chocolate on the table this morning?" "Oh? Those are Love Potion. I tried to make one for Asuna before but failed, so I ordered a few of them to check… You ate it?" "*Smile* Yep!" And the teacher immediately bowed and apologized: "I'M SORRY FOR NOT TELLING…" "It's fine." Clem then moved his head up so their eyes met each other. "It's not too bad. We can count it as an experience. Though, how long would it last?" This time Chamo answered: "If we read it right, it's about half a day. You're a natural Goddess, so maybe the effect has worn out already." "Maybe that's why Yami managed to find out the chocolate is the Love Potion while we're in the library." "Again, sorry for the troubles we gave you." "Nah, it's fine. Though, I'm not sure what Dada would react now…"

Returning back to their room

"Now you know why I never want to see a crazed Charlotte while she's on the mood." Kuro just casually said so, while continuing playing the game. Negi was sitting there with an apologetic face, with Clem just smiling innocently next to him. "Luckily that you don't really like him at the same level as Nodoka, otherwise…" That made the boy turn beet red. Clem then changed the subject as she grabbed the new plush in the room. "Where did it come from, Dada?" "From a friend. There are two more, but I will give one of them to Ruby and her group."

"I thought we have stored it somewhere…" Chamo spoke from the garret. "Kuro, did you know where they are?" "I ate them all." Kuro just casually answered back, causing Negi to ask in surprised: "Wait, you still look normal. You aren't affected by it?" "No. I'm dead, remember? If I want to be affected, then I will be. But if I don't want to, then I won't be." He then coughed. "Though, the damn ingredients are strong, I will give them that." "What?" "I'm basically the person to check the ingredients inside Love Potions. To put it simple, my body can recognize anything I consume. Anyway…" He put the controller down. "I'm making dinner now. What do you want for it?"

"Here's the plushie. Hope you like it." *Give it to Ruby*

Ruby: "*Examines it* The quality is good...but why would someone make a plush of a creature that..." "Their hobbies, their choices, I won't judge. Plus, it might be useful in some cases."

Nora: "Hey! We can scare CDRL with him! It will be fun!" "*Snicker* Send me the video if you succeed." "Got it!"

Monday, in the train

"I give up to this point." Kuro pinched his nose bridge, as the group's standing close to each other. With Clem wrapping her arms around Negi's neck to be close to him to 'save space' as she said. Even Asuna patted his shoulder to calm him down, with Konoka just giggled behind them and Setsuna just sighed in sympathy. "Anyway, what's the plan this week, Negi?" "Nothing too major, aside from participating Eva's test and decoding the maps." "So a relax week…"

…

"Does this happen every week?" "Yes, Kuro-sensei." Setsuna answered the question as they're watching the 'event' from the upper road. "People challenge Ku Fei from time to time, though no one has truly won against her." "Hm…" "You want to test?" "Nah, I'm good." Negi's astonished by how strong Ku Fei was, after she defeated her opponents one by one, and when it's over, the boy walked to her and greeted: "Good morning Ku Fei!" Despite everyone's cheering on her, the girl managed to hear her teacher's words. "Oh hey, Negi-bouzu! Kuro-sensei as well! You are early!" Kuro just shook his head. "It's our jobs as teachers, remember?"

Glynda: "Wouldn't you stop that instantly?" "It's not like bullies or so. They just want to see how strong they are, and there's nothing wrong with a few small spars."

Jaune: "It's like when Pyrrha and I train, right?" "In a sense, yes."

"Heard that you accept challenges from everyone. Can you show me how good you are in martial art?" Everyone turned to the new challenger, to see a thirty-year-old man, with brown hair that grew just enough to pass his shoulder, light skin with green eyes, his outfit consisted of an oversized blue coat, black T-shirt with travel jeans and blue boots. Next to him was a woman in the same age, her hair was shorter and it's white, her eyes were nature pink much to everyone's surprise, she wore a pink dress and pink shoes.

Clem's about to call the person before Kuro put his finger on her lips. "Shh. Not now." Clem took the message and said nothing. Ku Fei tilted her head. "You want to fight me-aru?" "Yeah, is it a problem?" "Not really, aru. Negi-bouzu, can you go back to the group?" Negi nodded and walked back, with the woman followed him as well…

When the woman stood next to Clem, the little girl just wrapped her arms around hers and smiled brightly, causing her to giggle and gently rub her hair. Then she asked Kuro: "Still alive?" "*Shrug* Maybe, until she comes."

I was writing the fight scene, then I realized how bad it was, so I deleted it. To make it easier for you to imagine, the man will fight like Wesker in MvC 3. With no guns and teleportation of course. And Ku Fei… maybe Chun Li would fit her.

And of course, due to his experience, he was easily able to land a few good hits on the girl. Once they stopped fighting, the man said: "Wow, you hit hard, like Tekken. No wonder you're the head of Chuubukenbu." "You're quite good too, aru. Though I didn't recognize your way of fighting." "It's self-taught."

"Sorry you two but I have to stop the fight here. Ku Fei needs to head to her class now." Kuro, being too casual again, stepped between the two and raised his hands up to stop the two from jumping to each other again. That earned him mutters of disappointment, and the audience started separating and doing whatever they wanted. The man just looked at the teacher assistant with a cheeky expression. "Really? And you would stop us from continuing our fight?" "Yes." It's the simple answer. The man just shrugged. "Alright then."

Blake: "Schwarz and Weiss? They were there?" "Visiting me and Clem. Clem more, since they already knew about my job."

The three then regrouped with the others, as Negi asked: "Are you two alright?" "Yeah, we're good." "It's just a spar, aru. Besides, shouldn't we head to class now?" "Oh right! Kuro-sensei, we better…" "I'm talking with them first, if you don't mind." Kuro pointed to the duo. "Oh, okay! Everyone, let's go!"

That left Kuro, Clem and the new people behind. Then, the man spoke: "So he's the person you're assisting? He's quite powerful, giving the potential power in him." "Yeah. His father is quite powerful, unfortunately he's not available to help the kid." Then he asked the woman: "Where is Uzume? I thought she would be with you?" "She's going fishing with Ultra Neptune." *Salty Senpai Blade grunting intensifies XD* "So, shouldn't you head to your class now?" "Would you walk with me?" "Not now. We will take a trip around this place first. Clem, you could stay with us, right?" "Right!" "Alright then, see you later."

Teacher's Office

"Where's Clem, Kuro?" "Around Mahora." "Why?" "She's guiding a duo around to introduce them to the place." "And you let her go just like that? She's just ten." "Nah, I have total faith that she wouldn't be harmed."

Class 3-A

The class went normally, however, everyone's wondering where the little girl was, since she didn't show up when Negi and his group reached to class in the morning. But that got thrown out of window, when Negi asked Ku Fei to meet with him in front of the memorial at the plaza in front of the World Tree. Once the class was over, everyone started guessing what the possibilities were. Classic 3-A.

"Hey, Ku Fei." Chao asked the other Chinese girl. "Is it true that there's a person that managed to beat you?" "Well, we're still fighting until Kuro interfered, aru." "Did you know who he is?" "*Confused eyes* Eh… I don't know, aru." Konoka answered for her: "But if we guess right, they should be related to Kuro-sensei." "They?" "There are two, but only one of them fought Fei. One of them was quite close to Clem if Clem's acting very close to her."

"Is it possible that couple is Clem's parents?" That question from Asuna drifted the attention towards her, as Ayaka asked: "What did you say? Clem's parents are here?" "I'm not sure about it. We just met them hours ago." Setsuna: "Though, I'm not sure if that's the truth. I mean, it's possible those two could be Kuro's close friends, and nothing else." "How about one of us asking Kuro-sensei? That's the easiest way…" "And the hardest way as well. He could just give us hints and nothing else."

Later…

"So that happened. Geez, Clem, I thought I told you to be careful with food?" "Tee-hee. But it's on the table, so I thought it would be okay, since Dada was there. And even the others were around." "That's true. But he's responsible for that…"

"That's true I was responsible for that." The trio looked at Kuro, who's leaning at the lamp post. "But it's because I decided to give up on pulling Clem out of Negi. Aside from Creator going to stop me, that's her choice." The man just sighed and punched Kuro on the shoulder. "At least warn us before doing something like that. Anyway, why are we waiting here?" They're currently at the plaza. Kuro just glanced up to the memorial, and they followed to see Ku Fei standing there with the bag of buns. "Oh, the girl I fought. Why is she here?" "Negi's asking her to meet there." "You know the reason?" "Not now."

"Ku Fei! Sorry for keeping you waiting!" They silently watched the scene going on, as the two greeted each other normally. Then, Negi suddenly punched his student, and by instinct, the girl immediately deflected it, then used her left hand to grab Negi's head and her right to wrap on both his arms to neutralize him from countering. "Um, Kuro, what are they doing? You will see." Then the woman noticed something, or someone, in the bush nearby. "Kuro, aren't those…" "Yeah, stalking the two. And the others. Hey, Asuna." Kuro greeted the group behind the duo. "Hey, Kuro-sensei, and the others! You want to go bowling?" "Sure. You can call them as well." Kuro pointed his thumb to Negi and Ku Fei. The girl nodded and went and called the two… and with that, the hiding girls also revealed. "Really?" "Yeah. That's class 3-A for you."

Ozpin: "I am sure, with the misunderstanding being common thing there, Negi would ask something normal, right?" "Of course. He's too naive and innocent."

Tori Bowl Center

"It's really hard to play this game perfectly…" "Come on, Kuro-sensei! Even Ku Fei is hitting perfect score all the time!" Kuro just scratched his head in embarrassment as he looked at the scoreboard. It's true that he could do anything, but if he didn't use a cent of his power, he would just be a normal guy, and he's not that great in bowling. But at least he did get a few strikes.

"You should not play around like that." "Hey, bowling is playing. What's the difference?" "Why not like those three?" The man gestured to Ayaka, Makie and Nodoka, who were trying their best to beat Ku Fei. And Kuro decided to join, just for fun. "You know why." "Granddad, that sounds pathetic, coming from you." Clem/Yami just bit down on her bun (made by Yotsuba), as Kuro's head gained a tick from being triggered. "You don't just say that." "I do."

"By the way, who are you two? Are you Clem's parents?" Konoka asked the new duo with excitement in her eyes. The duo decided to drop the 'mysterious' sign and answered: "Well, I am her father, the name's Schwarz. And she is Weiss, my sister. Clem is not her daughter by the way." "Oh, I thought she would be, since she's going with you. But I guess being siblings has its benefits. Though, where's your wife?" "She's going out with her friends. We're using this time to visit Clem." Asuna: "Do you need her to go back?" "No. She could learn a lot from you all, and the boy is a teacher, so I think there's no need."

In the end, Ku Fei with perfect score, followed by Kuro and then the others. Everyone started cheering for Ku Fei, who's cheering for herself as well. Then, Kuro said: "Alright, enough distraction. Negi, shouldn't you say what you want to say to Ku Fei?" That dropped ALL the sound around them to volume zero. Negi scratched his head and said: "But, I can't really say it around…" "I think it's just normal things, so don't hesitate to ask." To the others, they're thinking that 'Confession is on the way!'. But to the ones who knew about magic, it's like 'Are you crazy? Speaking about this out loud in the middle of a playroom?'. Eventually, Negi nodded and turned to Ku Fei, took a deep breath, and…

"Please teach me Chinese Martial Arts!" The 'suspecting girls' just hung their mouths in silence, with the 'already knew something like this would happen' girls shaking their heads in amusement. Negi continued: "I need to be stronger to be able to find my father. And the trip to Kyoto has proved that there are many objects standing on my way. That's why I want to ask you to teach me."

"Oh?" After the dumbfound expression, Fei just laughed and patted his shoulder. "So that's all about? Then you could ask me while we're still in class, aru! I will let you become my son-in-law one day when you become strong enough!" "EH?" "HAHA! I'm just kidding!"

"See, Ayaka? Nothing to worry about." Kuro just leaned a bit on Iincho, causing her to blush a bit. "Don't say that, Sensei. But, I thought Negi-sensei would ask you for that?" "Fei has proper trainings, while what I know are self-taught. And I'm not exactly good in fighting bare fists." "Next stop, karaoke!" Immediately Kuro dropped to the ground, face first, causing the representative to ask him in worry: "Sensei, you okay?" "I'm…not fine, after hearing that." "Come on, Kuro-sensei! You did well last time, there's nothing to embarrass about your voice!" The previous trio just happily lifted him up and pulled him away, much to his weak protests. Weiss just giggled. "He really doesn't like singing in a karaoke." "Only in karaoke?" "We heard him singing while in the bathroom. He's just shy when showing off to people." "That's understandable."

Nora: "Hey, how about we..." "NOPE! I'm not joining!"

Time skip

"Why…hy…?" Kuro face-planted into his mattress while whining about what he has gone through. Negi just smiled sympathetically, with Schwarz speaking: "You have a wild class there, Father. Also, that's not bad." "But it's embarrassing… So Weiss is going to stay with whom?" "Chao Lingshen, if I remember her name right." "…I hope she's not bribing her to say stuffs about me…"

Chao's room

With a noise-cancel device, nobody could hear the laughs inside of the room, as the girls were reviewing some of the embarrassing moments of Kuro with his friends. "That one time when he was forced to where the maid outfit Noire just made for the cosplay contests. He ran around the whole Gamindustri just to find a hiding place before we managed to catch him when he accidentally stumbled into Ultra Neptune." A video showed Kuro running away from the Goddesses before head-butting right into the traveler, causing him to fall back and then get caught by the others, and pulled away while protesting loudly. "And when he's doing some volunteer works to help an orphanage…" Kuro, in female form, was wearing a big rabbit suit and playing with the kids there. Though, 'she' wasn't enjoying it much, due to the fact 'she' had to be in that form. "… And this too." Still charity activity, this time mimicking Romeo and Juliet, WITH Kuro being the later.

The girls of class 3-A (only the ones who know about magic were there) were laughing hard, even Chao can only speak a bit breathlessly: "K…Was that… the real Kuro-sensei?" "Well, it's because he was pushed, but the characters are real." "Any chances we could do it here?" "I don't think so, since not all of you are aware of magic." "Oh right. *Giggle* I do have a plan to make him do that, though."

"And prey to all Lords, please not any of those events." Weiss just giggled and patted Shanghai, who's sitting on her shoulder. "You know it would happen, sooner or later." Setsuna then examined the doll a bit and asked: "So you're transforming, or…" "I'm connecting my soul to hers, and I have to say I'm not pleased that you showed those moments to them, Weiss." "Just a little to know you better, Father." Shanghai pouted more and pulled a strand of hair on Weiss, lightly, which just made everyone laugh harder.

Clem/Yami then said: "We should stop harassing Granddad now. He's embarrassed enough." "I don't think…" "He's wrapping himself in a winter blanket while sulking, Auntie." Still laughing. Then, Hakase asked: "Though, how could we differ you from Clementine if you're sharing the bodies?" "Basically how we address the others. You could easily deter it." "And how was you… born? Did I use the word right?" "Since Clem is a CPU, she should have a second form. But, she can use the Negative power as well, so if she transforms, the power would be conflicted. That's where I'm here to help dealing with it."

"Speaking about transforming, Fuka, Fumika, can you turn back to your former self?" Light occurred. Everyone's astonished by the fact two of their classmates were actually Goddesses from another world, but a little disappointed that their images… were the same as their current states. Even Zazie had to say: "Based on how Kuro looked, I thought you would be…" "HEY! Not all Goddesses were like Vert, okay? We don't have that kind of body with us!" Weiss explained: "Because of how different things they're referencing to, their appearances will be different from each other. All in characters as well."

"Speaking about God, do you think Kuro made a good choice in letting Negi-sensei ask Eva for magic teaching?" "Father has his own reasons for doing so. But, I do think he would consider to help him with magic from the beginning. He did say he will, but he didn't say how." "But I thought magic is the same?" "Not quite, Nodoka. We have asked Granddad about it, and he just pointed to his third wife as the answer." "She is a Mage?" "Yes, a Water mage. And based on what Clem has told about this world's ways of casting, the keywords are vastly different, and the methods to draw out energy are in the same situation. Only the will-power remains the same, that allow the mages to be able to cast to a degree. Like mana or stamina in games."

Everyone's deep in thought for a moment, before Weiss asked Chao: "I just remembered, Father has ordered materials from Lastation, saying to give you to make an energy converter. What's that about?" "Oh, right. You see, the girl, Chachamaru, is a robot we created, and Kuro's helping us perfecting her." "Oh, like Sakuya." And the said maid appeared. "You call?" "Oh, just making comparisons."

"Wait." Sakuya turned to Chao. "You are a robot?" "More like a clone. I am a perfect copy of a person named Sakuya, down to every single cell and personality. Of course, I do have a second mind to operate parallel with the mind set of the original." "… You look nothing like a robot." "Kuro's power is unlimited in nature. These things are nothing to him." She then drew out a pocket watch, one that Chao was a little surprised at the similar design. "Is that your time machine?" "You could say something like that. What?" The genius then drew out her own, much to everyone's surprise. "This is mine. Quite a surprise that people like making time machines into pocket watches like this." "It's for style point. That's what Kuro would say." "Yeah, it's true."

Asuna interrupted the conversation: "Wait wait, why do you have a time machine, Chao? I thought Kuro said that there's a curse in it?" "Then maybe he's the only one who got affected by some kind of prototypes…" "Actually that's a made-up thing." They turned to Weiss. "You heard it before, that he got cursed because of time-travelling, but that's not the truth. He was dead even before he could travel through space and time." "Then, what's the real story behind this time-travel thingy?"

The doll then floated up above the girls, causing them to look up. "I suppose showing you is better than words."

Glynda: "*Shakes her head disapprovingly* You always do so in some points." "Sorry, parts of my bad side."

Then all the girls were dropped into a classroom… a haunted one. And that gave the girls shiver on their backs. "Okay…what is this place?" Weiss didn't immediately answer Asuna's question, as she looked around to make sure everyone's here… "Only Father is missing. It's good enough. Alright everyone, prepare yourself, because what you will see is not pretty." Weiss stood up and brushed the dust out of her dress. Everyone followed suit, as she said: "Don't attack anyone here, unless I say otherwise. People here are friendly now, at least, that's what my father has told me." Sakuya did hear that, but still held up three knives just in case if things went wrong, followed by Setsuna and Asuna.

The group walked out of the classroom to greet a dark hallway, occasionally lighted by the lightning in the rain outside of the school. Nodoka fearfully asked: "What… is this place?" "Heavenly Host." The simple answer from Sakuya caused Asakura to nearly snap her head to the maid in shock: "For real? Kuro-sensei said that this place was cursed, then why did he bring us here?" "Story-telling, I would say. He did it a few times before…"

"Hello Weiss! Nice to see you here!" All of them diverted their eyes from the rain and turned to the left, and Setsuna and Asuna immediately brought their weapons up and stood before the group and asked: "How did you get here? I thought you were saved…" Then Weiss just walked ahead and said: "You two, drop your weapons, she's friendly. And hello to you as well, Nana." "It's been a while since a group of alive people has come to this place, the newest one was the ones trying to save Kuro." "I know. Anyway, the girls here are from the core world of this place. They saw your alive selves, so they're a bit spooked that you're here." "Oh, I see."

Setsuna eased down a bit, then walked back to Konoka, with her guard still up, and asked Weiss: "Asuna asked about the time-travel, but this situation was like he's trying to tell us something else." The woman turned back and smiled: "He probably wanted you to have a little trip here, during that you could find something interesting here." "*Deadpan* I'm not sure we could find something 'interesting' here…" "Anyway, let's go. We shouldn't waste time standing around…"

During the walk, Asakura took a few photo shots of the place, and the pictures in her camera changed constantly, making the girls shout in shock every time they changed. Some even have corpses in it… causing Nodoka to nearly faint a few times. Clem/Yami had to hold on her multiple times, while Weiss tried to explain what the images could show to them.

"If any of you remember, there's a scene when Morishige looked at the phone and heard Mayu's voice. That's when Heavenly Host tricked him BASED ON the real events. It could pull out a paradox timeline to make another victim fall for it and kill themselves."

"Kuro decided to be a douchebag again?" With a wind-cutting speed, Asakura was already standing right before the speaker, causing him to stumble back a bit in surprise. "Hello, Kibiki-san! I'm the reporter of class 3-A of Mahora Academy! I have heard much about your career and successes, especially about the case you re-opened a few years ago! Can I ask more details about it?" "Um…what re-opened case?" Weiss explained to the man: "The girls are from your world." "Ah, I see. So my alive self has dealt with it? Thank God for that. So, Asakura, correct? What do you want to ask about?" "But before that, shouldn't we change the place first? Standing in the middle of the hallway is not an ideal to speak." "Oh, you are right Nana. Let's go to the auditorium."

After everyone's comfortable, Asakura started asking: "If your alive self's evidences were right, then the whole thing were caused by the Headmaster? He pushed the teacher down and caused her death, though it's an accident? *Receives a nod* About her missing child, it's because the Headmaster found out the girl saw what happened, and killed her?" That made Nodoka and Konoka cry (anime style) while hugging each other in fear. "Unfortunately, that's a yes." "Then the charge on the Headmaster was correct. Moving on, about the death of three students… It was actually caused by the fourth child?" "It sounded ridiculous, but that's the truth. She's probably around in the school, we might meet her… Don't worry, she won't kill us, so you can put your weapons away." The novelist said after he saw the two girls preparing their weapons. "And why should we?" "It's because Kuro has already dealt with this, and that girl is good now. Don't need to be so worked up like that."

"So how did this place exist?" "The teacher who got killed started this because she saw the Headmaster killed her daughter at the last moment." "That's sad… Then, about Naho…" "She gave out the wrong charms, so people would fall for it. She thought it would help me 'doing my research', but she's so wrong there." "So that group's up there?" "What group?" "There's a private blog about 'Heavenly Host survivors', and to enter there, a person must give out a name that everyone knows." "*Chuckle* I can guess the name. Anyway, what do you want to know more?" "Hm… There was a time you, Naho and your camera man just disappeared, then a few days later you were just up and around." "Maybe that's when they just got saved by Kuro. I heard that Naho changed the ritual back to its old self, so that nobody would get it wrong." "When did you…" "The group of Kisaragi tried to save Kuro, but obviously it failed. Then they told the others about what happened after they were saved."

Nodoka then asked fearfully: "The weather here… was it always raining?" "Not really. But it's always in the dark. We get used to it, through time of course." "But staying around with the murderers…" "It is no longer the problems, miss Lingshen. The desire for killing is gone thanks to Kuro, however, there's a special case, but he's being locked up and supervised all the time, so we don't really have to worry."

"Mister Kibiki, can you tell us more about Kuro's ability to travel through time?" "It's from this world, miss Kagurazaka. This place itself is a time-space paradox, we can't deter what is the past, present or future. At least, before Kuro fixed it. You could see this person in this room, only to open the door to see that person's corpse being dismantled right in front of you. Of course, there were no two persons at the same time." That caused the twin to shake violently. "Sorry you two, but that's the truth. Anyway, the Darkness here gave him that power. That's all I could say."

'I think…the time's up… you girls… will go back…now…' Everyone shivered when they heard the voice in their heads. Not because they didn't know who's talking, but because of the tone. Fumika asked fearfully: "K…Kuro… why is your voice…" 'Sorry… it happened… while I'm here… don't worry…' Asakura then shook Kibiki's hands and said: "I guess it's time for us to go. It's a pleasure to meet you. Maybe I will meet your alive self in the future." "It's mine as well. And send my alive self my greetings if you meet him." "I will."

Then, when everyone opened their eyes, they saw Chao's current room. They sighed in relief that the feeling in Heavenly Host was gone. Asuna spoke first: "If he could keep a paradox in place, then I don't know if he's actually doing his best in fighting Eva if what Negi told us was right." And Weiss answered: "He never used much of that power he possesses. If he used all of them, then I'm sure we can't run anywhere at all." The doll then floated down to Clem's hands, the girl then hugged it for herself. "Dada?" The doll shook her head left and right. Weiss then said: "I think that's it. We should head back to our own rooms now… Do you mind if I stay here, Chao?" "Not at all, don't worry."

Ren: "Just a bit curious, when did you meet the survivors?" "Actually... one of the girls found them first..." "Who?" "The... hidden idol of the class... and the invisible student..."
