Bad Finral!
"You alright, Kid? You look like you did't get any sleep," Yami asked when Finral walked into the living room.
"I got a little but then I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. So I figured I'd take a walk around the hideout, try to figure out where everything is at just in case I need to know for any reason," he added the last part with an irritated glare.
I'm really sorry about that, Finral.
"Still angry about that little prank, hu."
Don't be. I'm just glad you're feeling better, besides it wasn't your fault.
"Angry, no... Annoyed, yes. I'm going to go to the Royal Capital and..."
"No," Yami interrupted.
"What?! But you didn't even let me finish my sentence!"
"Didn't have to. You're not running off to go flirt. I need you for a mission today."
"As much as I would like to do that, I was actually going to say 'go to the library'. Besides I'd only get in your way."
"You've been going to a lot of libraries every sense you joined. Care to tell me what you're looking for?"
"I'm just doing a bit of studying."
"You still have to do school work. Shouldn't you be done with that boring crap? You're a Magic Knight now, you've got more important things to worry about."
"T-try telling Father that..."
Are we not going to research reincarnation magic?
Yeah but he just assumed that it was school work and I can't really tell him the truth... Besides Father is having me continue me normal studies, just not on a daily basis.
"Maybe I will... Alright. Get going then. But at some point you are going on a mission. I'll just drag Gordon with me this time."
"You do that...," Finral said, as he stepped through a portal into the Royal Capital. "Okay. Library... !... Oooo... Well, hello beautiful..." he said as a girl walked past him and he began to follow her.
Finral! No! Fatry tried to bring his mind back to the task at hand. Finral...! Library! Now! ...Stop!
Whaaaaaat?! Finral whined. This will only take a second.
I said no! We have more important things to worry about!
More important then girls?! Finral stopped walking, bewildered that Fatry would even consider going to a library to research reincarnation magic more important then lovely ladies.
YES!
I'm ignoring you for the rest of the day.
What?! No! Finral listen to me! She is obviously in her late twenties, early thirties.
So?
So?! She's to old for you!
I'm ignoring you now, he said as he resumed walking.
No! Stop! ...Bad Finral!
I'm not a dog you know...
Oh so you aren't ignoring me...
"Hmm," Finral hummed.
I swear, if you don't stop stalking this poor lady I'm going to find a way to forcefully take control of your body and take us to the library myself!
You wouldn't do that. And stalking is a strong word.
Yes I would!
No you wouldn't. You're far too kind to do that.
Er...
Just then the girl stopped and turned around.
Finral froze as she walked back in his direction looking rather perturbed. Uh oh...
Now you've done it.
I haven't even done anything!
"Are you lost?" She asked when she reached Finral.
"N-no, miss..."
"Well then I would very much appreciate it if you would kindly stop following me."
"I...I-I'm s-sorry... I was just going to tell you..."
"Go on," she said getting annoyed.
"T-that you are very pretty..."
"I appreciate the compliment but I'm twenty nine and you're like... what...? Twelve? So why don't you run along home little boy."
"Little boy? I'm Fifteen! And a Magic Knight! See?!" He said pointing to the Black Bulls emblem on his robe.
"Ehh... A Black Bull... Isn't that the new squad lead by that foreigner? Yuki Sukinomi or something like that?"
"I-it's Yami Sukehiro, actually..."
"I really don't care. Look kid, you look like some little kid. And I don't date adorable little children so run along now," she said then walked away.
A-adorable...
I mean at least you got a complement out of her... on like the last... hundred girls... Fatry chuckled.
She called me adorable, Fatry... And a little kid... I'm the best looking guy in the black bulls... I'm not adorable...
If you're going to put it that way... I won't deny that you're good looking... After all you look like me... but there are only three people in the Black Bulls so saying that you're the best looking guy in the squad... well... it isn't really saying much...
I know... but it's still true...
For now... Can we get to the library now?
...? The library?
Don't tell me you forgot why we are even in the Royal Capital!
Wait... nope! I remember! Sorry! Reincarnation research!
Good. Now let's go.
Okay, okay. Sheesh...
