'... and so, we chatted and laughed for a while and she seems a cool and interesting girl, on top of her hotness, but I'm not sure yet whether she's interested in something sexual. Not that there's a problem if she's not. I mean, we can be just friends, I can settle for that...'

I stopped and fumed. 'Are you even listening to me, Seven?' I sighed, addressing my underage friend.

We were in her room. I was sitting on her bed while she, sitting at her desk, was working with her chemistry equipment. She was wearing her school uniform, as most of the times. She hadn't really physically grown up since last year.

She turned around. She was wearing her chemistry protective glasses. 'You were telling me about Yuuki, the girl in our class that started attending the academy this year,' she said. 'I ceased listening about ten minutes ago, but I bet you were saying something about wanting to copulate with her.'

'Err, yeah,' I nodded, surprised.

'Heh,' the girl bragged. 'You're so predictable, Kirito sama. Oh, the 'sama' part was sarcastic, in case you don't get it.'

'You know, it's not polite to ignore someone talking to you,' I pointed out.

'Not the whole world revolves around your admittedly large reproductive organ, Kirito,' Seven said. 'Chemistry apparatus requires careful handling.'

'What are you working on, anyway?' I sighed, stood up and walked over to her.

'A substance that has the same effect as that love potion thing you have talked to us about,' she explained.

'WHAT?' I cried. I was impressed not only by what she was making but also by the fact she was speaking about it as if it was something trivial!

She shrugged. 'When I heard about your adventures in Halkeginia, I was so inspired that I decided to put off my previous research, although I was close to developing the cancer medicine.'

Was she sarcastic again? With a genius (albeit conceited) like Seven, you can never be sure!

'If it really has the same effect as that potion that made Louise and Montmorency go at it like rabbits, I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to make it,' I commented, concerned.

'Science knows no moral boundaries,' she replied casually.

I facepalmed. Sometimes, that little prodigy scares me! Do you think she might use me or any of our friends as lab rats for her experiments with that love potion, unbeknownst to us? Nah, I don't think Seven would ever go that far. Deep inside, she's a good girl.

Seven's POV...

Kirito was right in the last paragraph. I would never do something like that. But I like freaking him out from time to time. Tee hee hee.

Wait, did I say 'freak out'? Gosh, my excessive contact with the mediocre minds I have been socializing with since the middle of the last academic year has started making me talk like them!

Anyway, later, when I was alone, I locked the prototype love potion in my super advanced safe. The lock password has over 50 digits (which I remember by heart, since I possess a super brain!), so I'm sure no one shall ever manage to open it.

I opened the door to exit my room and, coincidentally, Strea was about to knock on the door at that moment.

'Wow, Seven,' she commented. 'You opened before I could knock! You must be a psychic or something.'

I rolled my eyes. 'Excuse me, but I remind you we have to attend a midday period soon,' I sighed. 'We shall talk later. And I advise you to hurry up too if you don't want to be late.'

'But I wanted to ask for...'

'Make yourself comfortable in my room and borrow whatever you like,' I offered and left.

I mean, I had locked my apparatus, chemicals and anything else that might be dangerous in the hands of that mentally incapable female. So how much damage could she cause if I left her alone in the room?

Strea's POV...

Ohh, Seven is so kind! She let me stay alone in her room and take any of the cool stuff I could find in there! She's the best girlfriend a girl could ask for!

Anyway, I had some time left before the midday period began. I think Seven hurrys up for no reason sometimes. But that is just my opinion.

So let's explore my friend's cool room.

Huh? What is that metal chest? And why are there buttons on it? Should I try to press them?

Each button produced a sound when I touched it. Then I came up with an awesome idea. I started pressing the buttons in a pattern that produced a catchy tune! See, Seven? You're not the only genius around. I bet I'll become a scientist like you someday!

After I played my song, something amazing happened. The metal chest liked my music so much that it rewarded me by opening! Ohh, such a kind chest. Then again, I should have expected that, since its owner, Seven, is kind as well. Like chest owner, like chest. Isn't that what they say? I bet you all have heard that phrase.

Anyway, what was that bottle inside? It contained a pink liquid. I opened and smelled it. It smelled great.

It was the perfect sweet sauce for the cookies I had baked and intended to take to the class to share with all my friends and our teacher and headmaster, the kind Miss Zeliska! (See chapter 20) I bet everybody would be happy if I did that! I was so proud of myself for having managed to make cookies!

I placed my finger on my lips to think. Was it okay if I took that bottle? Well, Seven had said I could take anything I wanted, so nobody would be sad if I took it.

I exited my friend's room and went to my room to add the flavor to my cookies. Then I went to my class to treat all my classmates and teacher to my creations.
