Adrian gaped when he saw New Mochinoki. When he looked down, he saw nothing but darkness and poles. If you followed the poles, upwards, you'll find buildings on top of them. Everything was high-tech and everyone was driving either a hover car or a hover board.

"Judging by the book in your hand, you're a mamodo." Rozemarie stated.

"Wha-? How did you know I was a—" Adrian started to say, but was interrupted.

"Duh. Everyone in the city knows about mamodo. They say the mayor was the bookkeeper of the current king." Rozemarie stopped for a moment, took a breath, then started talking again. "You're here with 99 other mamodo children to battle for king. Last one remaining is the king. Judging by the book not glowing yet, I'm not your bookkeeper, correct?"

Adrian was stunned. A normal elementary student knew all this information. "Hai, that's right." He said, finally. "So, where do you dwell?"

"…Dwell? No one uses that term anymore…It's for old geezers, like my parents!" Rozemarie commented. She grabbed onto his arm and pressed a button on her watch. "Kobozuka Household!"

Kobozuka Household

"Rozemarie, is that you?" An older woman's voice called out.

"Yeah it's me. I found a mamodo." Rozemarie replied. A woman peeked her head out of a room. She had wavy blue hair. It looked wavy, like it had been up in buns for a long time. "Isabelle, you took your buns out."

"Yeah, your father wanted to see something new…" She said with a sweatdrop. "What's the mamodo's name?"

"My name is Adrian, milady." He said.

"Adrian? Isn't that a girl's name?" Isabelle laughed. Rozemarie started laughing again. It took five minutes for the laughter to stop. Isabelle stopped, as if she realized something. "Wait, it hasn't been 1000 years since the last battle…why are you here?"

"King Zatch sent us here, as if he was going to die if he didn't. It's another battle, though." Adrian sighed. The front door opened. In stepped a teenaged boy that had sky blue hair in a ponytail and little child on his shoulder. The kid jumped off of the teen's shoulder and ran over to Isabelle. He resembled someone she had knew before, but it didn't hit her.

"Mom, I found a kid. I think he has amnesia or something. He only remembers his name, which is Citorn." The teen said.

"Citorn Bell!" The kid said.

'Bell! Zatch Bell! I knew he looked familiar. He must be the kid of Zatch and some woman.' Isabelle thought. She kneeled down to the kid. "Do you know your parents' names?" She asked politely.

"Nope!" Citorn said, smiling. Isabelle sighed in frustration.

"Eido?" She shouted out. No reply. "EIDO! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Everyone heard a faint "Eep!" from upstairs. There was pounding as if someone was running down stairs. Finally, a man appeared from out of the hallway. He had a hairstyle similar to the teenaged boy, but the hair was red, not sky blue.

"Ye-Yes?" He asked, a little scared.

"Another mamodo battle is taking place…"

"All ready? Have I lost track of time?" Isabelle kicked him in the shin.

"No, bakayaro! It was started early!" Citorn looked up.

"What started early?" he asked. Isabelle nodded Adrian off to tell him. He nodded and picked up Citorn and went into another room. Isabelle stood up.

"Well, we know the laws. But laws are meant to be broken and the mayor can go fuck himself for all I care." There was a chuckle from everyone. "We can't let a clueless, defenseless mamodo be free in the streets. What should we do?"
