Kazuma and Aqua chased after the two girls, there was no reason for them to do it, other than it seemed fun to do so, they knew that they weren't in any danger as they ran down the castle's hallways.
As they chased aft the two girls they could feel themselves becoming stronger, the magic of this word was flowing into them faster than what magic they could gather on earth.
"Lady Aqua!" Aqua heard Wiz calling out to her and she instantly stopped running so that she could concentrate on Wiz's voice, unfortunately, she couldn't hear Wiz anymore.
Not having enough time to stop, Kazuma ended up crashing into Aqua who was still trying to find any trace of that other world.
"Kazuma watch where you're going" Aqua complained to Kazuma who was already lifting himself from on top of her
"Here," Kazuma said to her as he gave her a hand and helped her stand up, he had forgotten how different the floors of a castle were, from the floors of a school or office building.
"Excuse me but what are you doing?" A maid said to them as she walked up to them.
"We were chasing after a catgirl that took something from a friend of ours" Kazuma answered the maid who didn't react to his words
"That must have been Merle, she tends to play pranks on people, don't worry she means you and your friend no harm' the maid said to them before she walked past them
"Would you like to see the city?" she said to them as she walked ahead of them
"Sorry but we can't," Kazuma said to the maid who immediately stopped walking.
"Oh, I would have thought that the two of you would have been curious about the land and wished to get some fresh air," she said to them
"Yeah, but that would mean leaving Hitmi behind and you know, there's only three of us, so if we leave then she's left all alone" Aqua, who normally can't read the mood or understand what people are trying to say, somehow managed to keep up with the conversation.
"I see," the maid said before quickly walking back to where the two of them were standing
"Then how about I help you search for your friend, after all, I can't have a pair of outsiders walking around the castle"
"Your friend is chasing after Merle, so she has someone to keep her safe, just in case one of the guards thinks that she somehow sneaked into the castle," the maid said to them.
The three of them began to walk, they began to walk past servants- knights, and samurais that were either cleaning, going somewhere, or just standing guard both Kazuma and Aqua began to feel bored.
'So Kazuma from what I've heard you are someone trained in the art of assassination" the maid said to Kazuma, it was obvious that she had gotten bored too and was now trying to bring up any kind of conversation
"No, but "
'"Kazuma's a panty thief, be careful because he knows how to steal a woman's panties without them even realizing it" Aqua butted in before he could say anything that could change whatever ideas that the maid had about him
Kazuma watched as the maid and several other women that were passing by began to walk away from him, as they tried to put some distance between them.
Kazuma could only lower his head, somehow, mainly because of Aqua but his reputation followed him here.
"Lets us not try to prove what you just said," the maid said to Aqua before turning to look at Kazuma
"I'm serious don't, I don't want to be marked as a loose woman," she said to Kazuma who could only smirk at her words.
He was about to say something cool, or at least he thought that it sounded cool, but he stopped himself from saying anything because he found Hitomi peeking through a door.
He was about to say something when the sound of metal hitting metal reached his ears, he couldn't help but smile, he recognized the sound of someone fighting with swords.
So instead he turned to look at Aqua and the two of them wordlessly agreed to say hi to her, but only after they were close enough to scare her.
Aqua placed a finger on her lips and signaled to the maid to keep quiet as they walked closer to Hitomi and when they stood behind her they all said.
"Hey, Hitomi" all at once causing her to jump in shock and quickly turn to look at them with an angry expression.
'You scare me!" Hitomi complained but neither Aqua nor Kazuma cared and surprisingly enough the maid who was accompanying them just smiled at her reaction.
"Forget about that, so what were you looking at?" Aqua said to Hitomi
"I was looking at them," Hitomi said to Aqua as she pointed at the door that was partially opened
