Momo talk #1: Setting up
Arona: Do you get this message, Sensei?
Saito: Yup. Got it.
Arona: Yay! Now we have finally set up your personal phone! Be sure to keep the phone close to you, ok?
Saito: Wait, personal phone? Do you mean I will be getting another phone?
Arona: Erm, yeah. Can't mix your personal contact and social media account with one that is for work uses.
Saito: That sounds like a hassle.
Arona: For your own privacy sake and sanity, it's better to have a work phone too. At least you don't have to always take it with you.
Saito: Guess I'll take your own words for it then, Arona. Although, I gonna need to ask regarding my privacy.
Arona: What is it?
Saito: It's just a thought, but with how technologically advanced Kivotos seems to be, I was thinking if there are tons of ways my privacy will be breached without effort.
Saito: Getting hacked is one way, right? Think you can help prevent it from happening, Arona?
Arona: ...
Arona: I'll look into it later.
Growing Passion
He was so unfair.
"How can he…" Wakamo muttered. "Save me… then thank me… and then go and transform into such an amazing armor…"
And also he took her hand too…
Then without any prompt, Wakamo giggled. "Hehehe, oh Sensei, you are such a mischievous person~"
"You have stolen the heart of a fox~, hehe hehe."
Wakamo walked away from the street she was hiding in, giggling in happiness with the knowledge that there is someone out there that had ignited a passion in her heart.

Yup, this is the interlude, they are basically just short, bite-sized scenario that takes place in an unknown time after one part of the story is done.
And yes, all interludes will be like that… except for the Momotalk.
All momotalk will show up at the end of the chapter if the story is not in an extremely serious mood. So if say… during the crisis part of volume 1, there won't be Momotalk segment until the climax of the volume. But any chapter before that will have one.
Each Momotalk will take place an unspecified time after the chapter, so don't wreck your brain over the timeline of this small segment, it's just there for comedy's sake.
Other than that… yeah there is nothing else other than small trivia about the prologue. If you read it, hope you guys enjoy it and have a nice day.
Notes
•Magia: Mesoz comes from the extinct Mesozygelia Dunlopi, the oldest known orb-weaving spider found by humans so far.
•Ichigata was not my first choice, it was supposed to be THE original Ichigo. Then plans changed, since they did not fit some of the story beats I wanted to write. Some ideas still linger in this version, like the questioning of his (Saito's) humanity.
•Speaking of Saito: his name. Originally, he was supposed to be named "Fujioka Saito". But I realized that the name was too close to "Fujioka Maito", Hiroshi's son. So I changed it to the current name.
•The change also helped with the meaning of the name. 'Sendou' (先導) means 'guidance', 'lead', 'leader' or 'leadership'. While 'Saito', or 'Seijin' if said literally in Kanji (才人) means 'Talent' or 'talented person'. So basically, the name can be fully interpreted as "Talented leader". Fitting for a teacher.
•And yes, the name is taken from Aichi Sendou and Saito Hiraga from Cardfight Vanguard and Familiar of Zero respectively. I'm not the most creative person.
