POV Narrator:
Friday, October 13, 2017, Luna Nova
Akko had to spend a total of 10 days consecutively cleaning the corridors by wiping them until they were clean, all this so that she could have the authorization to continue studying in Luna Nova until the summer, But not everything is golden, since even when she stays away from trouble, trouble comes to her and on Thursday night when Akko and Lotte were sleeping, one of the girls of the trio was preparing what would cause a huge mess.
POV Sucy:
That's it, Wonderful, perfect, my potion is almost finished, soon I'll be able to fill it with mushrooms in Luna Nova, it'll be perfect, it'll look wonderful, I can't wait to see how it turns out, just a little more Amanita extract and... There, even a smoke came out, now let's see what I'm going to do. I take a funnel, put it in Akko's mouth, so I will use her as a guinea pig, but a weight comes on my conscience, I think this is too much even for my standards, I better not do it on her, it is too cowardly, Akko is just sleeping, good, then I think I will risk myself on this one, I take the potion and start to drink to see the effect, for now I feel nothing, just a drowsiness, exactly as I expected, then I lie down on the bed, now let's just live this dream.
On Friday morning...
POV Akko:
Ahhhhhhhh, another day in this terror of a place, let's see what's going to happen here today, at least it's Friday, it'll just be the weekend to keep cleaning the floors and at least free, no detentions, I hope it stays that way, I rub my eyes and take a look at the surroundings, when I see Sucy's bed, it's full of mushrooms, our whole room is full of those things, what happened here.
"Lotte wakes up!" I call for the blonde who was already awake to the point of appearing with her head on the bottom bunk, still without her glasses.
"What is it Akko? I was about to wake up, rest assured I won't be late for class" she said.
"Look at Sucy, she is the one who is in real trouble here" I say pointing to her bed, then she leaves the bunk, picks up her glasses when she sees her, she is even a little scared, seeing that Sucy was lying like that and full of mushrooms.
"Woah, we have to do something Akko, Sucy never wakes up, she must have made a mushroom potion to fill this place like this, we have to wake her up so we can find a way to get everything out, besides we have to be on time for class" Yanson said adjusting her glasses.
"So come on, how do we do it? Wake up Sucy!" I say shaking her while she herself is still in a deep sleep, just when I think I'm going to get out of trouble, it seems that now she comes after me too.
"Not so Akko, we will have to use magic and bring an antidote to Sucy, but I don't know which one to use, we will have to enter Sucy's mind so that she herself will give us this antidote, besides you have to be careful, if you die inside Sucy's mind, you will also never wake up from the deep sleep" Lotte said and I was getting even scared.
"So I'm going to get ready and put on the uniform now, we'll be able to finish this before school even starts, get rid of the mushrooms and also be able to maintain this without anyone knowing" I say to the blonde and then go and get the uniform.
I change very quickly, putting the clothes on in a hurry, I'm not going to waste time, it's not enough the trouble of the middle of the week, now there's this, to think that I thought it would be a weekend without detention, now I'm really going to do my best not to end up doing the slave work I'm already doing.
Switched I grab the various potion bottles, I get to the side of Sucy's
bed, then I see Lotte's wand turning into a club, only wrapped in magic, I thought it was kind of weird, but then she makes movements that looked like she was kicking, holy shit, fucked, I'll just take one behind the head.
In Sucy's mind...
Ouch, that really hurt Lotte, I might not get a beating that would give me head trauma, I still like to use this head you know, it might be a bit messed up, but I need it to make magic... Wait a minute, I'm not in Luna Nova anymore, now that I realize, I think that must be Sucy's mind, I look around, there are mushrooms everywhere, besides a sign written "Welcome to Sucy World", until a car stops right in front of me with Sucy driving.
"Sucy! You are already here, how great I need your help, please wake up, Luna Nova is in danger because of your mushroom experiments, which one is the antidote?" I get excited, but she just shrugs her shoulders.
"I'm not Sucy, I'm one of the manifestations of her mind, the real one is in one of the rooms of that tower, but I can take you there, just follow me on the tour, welcome to Sucy World" Said the other Sucy leaving me with a pouty face, but that's ok, let's take a tour of Sucy's head, this will be really fun to do.
I get in the car and she starts to take me to all the places, I'm even amazed at how ingenious this place is, full of mushrooms everywhere, we go to a cinema, now I'm excited, a movie starts to play, looking like those old Disney movies in black and white, hey! That's me over there, I appear looking like a character and she's cute, oh for goodness sake, why do I have to be so weird, really, I could be prettier, but then Diana appears, she's got a big nose and walking with her nose stuck up with her huge legs, I start to laugh, and then they all look at me kind of surprised.
"What is it? It's funny" I tell them and after those strong stares Sucy cops appear.
"Stop right there intruder, you will be brought to trial" Said the policemen Sucy and I am even in shock, how come? Now I will be arrested and the tour is not even over.
They handcuff me, taking me to the police car, I am getting frustrated, what a crazy place this is, all this just because I wanted to enjoy a little, I should have focused more in getting to Sucy, how could I be so stupid like that, but I think I will manage, I will only go to an imaginary prison, who knows it is in a closer place, I just need to use the creativity of my potions and I will manage. At my side also accompanied a little angel and a demoniac Sucy, if I think the two are the same, two demons.
In the trial...
Sucys all the way, they are simply being found guilty for nothing, one very feminine, another looking like a lady, another looking even cute, one normal, one childish, another that looked like a nerd, very strange, only it comes my turn, I'm going to the trial and now I'm going to do well, all these years playing Phoenix Wright will shine Atsuko Kagari, I can even feel the little music playing in my head, what I spent hours at school playing on my DS zeroing the cases, I'm going to send high objections.
"Guilty as charged!" said the judge.
"What? Objection! You can't blame me just like that, I couldn't even speak my side" I tell him trying to point with style.
"Guilty as charged! Take her to the execution" said the judge and the security guards took me away.
Wait a little execution! What do you mean, they are going to kill me right now, without even taking me to prison, I am thrown in the wagon together with the other Sucy's where my hands are handcuffed, one of them was just a child, how cruel is the Sucy's mind, even worse is that the two demons were teasing me.
"Did you really think you would go to prison Akko?" Asked the demon.
"Ah, that's unfair, I can't believe Sucy just kills one personality or another like that, without even arresting them, at least it's near the tower isn't it?" I ask them and they shake their heads.
"If you can catch some car in time it might be quite close, but be careful not to have the fate of Sucy's various personalities" Said the "little angel"
"Which would be quite interesting" Said the demon.
In the execution queue...
The line was kinda long, I wasn't expecting this, we even stand in a line, but at least the mushroom tower was a lot closer than I thought, now I'll just have to get away from here somehow, I'll wait for the best time, that's for sure, when I see what happens in the execution I get traumatized. Sucy uses a guillotine on her own head and needs to be that explicit, ewww, I swear I'm gonna puke, listening to the sound of the blades, I'm trying not to look, seeing one by one, but when it gets to the child's turn, then I can't take it anymore.
"Wait a minute, are you really going to do this to her? She's just a kid!" I say the two devils.
"It's one of Sucy's many rejected personalities, but relax that you'll be next" said the demoness and I simply bite her, using my lock-picking skills to break the lock and finally free from the handcuffs.
I run to the guillotine and throw myself to try to stop it, I sort of lean on the top and hold the rope so it doesn't come down, whew... I managed to save Sucy from the worst, then the little one gets her head out and the executioners go furious after me.
"You shouldn't have done that Akko" Said the demoness and I'm honestly sure it was the right thing to do, unleashed the guillotine now it's not on anyone's head.
Out of nowhere little Sucy, ends up kind of transforming into something else, kind of turning into a huge dragon and now I notice what they were talking about, how could I know this thing was dangerous, holy shit, I go running without much choice, I see the other Sucy's car parked, where I jump into it and the self goes driving with everything.
"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! We have to get to the tower and wake Sucy up soon!" I say to Sucy the driver.
"What you did Akko, I told you to leave, these are unstable personalities of Sucy, that's why they are executed, they can be dangerous, right now we are dealing with just that dangerous part" She said and I already understood.
"Now what counts is our survival, I can't let this thing get to us" I say desperately.
The dragon is following us even with the car, causing a whole tremor around, destroying the environment, the car even gave a few jumps, we need to arrive, so much that Sucy is tightening her foot, but it seemed that the dragon was faster, shit, shit, shit, why did I get myself into such trouble, now the least worst thing here will be just getting out of this alive, it's not even bringing Sucy back and staying in class, I think it's really fucked up now.
"Don't you guys have any weapons to defend yourselves against this thing?" I ask and they both just keep shaking their heads in denial.
We arrive at the tower, Sucy even crashes the car to get inside it was a huge staircase, which I go running down the corridors, knocking on door and door, but nothing, none of them are the real Sucy.
"Excuse me! - I knock on the door, but she wasn't there" It's not - I close it.
The dragon keeps appearing below, I go desperate knocking and entering in each door, there were many varied things, some being memories of what Sucy really went through, which is very strange, at the same time I couldn't find her, I went up a lot and the dragon kept following, what a terrible creature.
"You don't know which door is which?" I ask them.
"Try on 374" she said and I started running up that round staircase, the dragon was following me too, but in a much less worse way, it even seemed that everything under me was going to be destroyed too, shit, now I'm also destroying her mind, I'm going to die here in the pile of nothing.
I go up to door 374, but when I knock on it, there was no one there, I see and there really wasn't, I go to 375 next door already quite frustrated, when I see there was Sucy as a sleeping beauty in bed, it can only be that one, I go inside with everything, getting there I shake her, but no Sucy wakes up.
"Wake up Sucy! Wake up Sucy! This monster is going to kill us" I tell her and no answers.
"Maybe you need to pass the potion to wake her up" Said the "little angel", which I even remembered I had several of them stored away.
I took the potions and kept looking and floating to all of them, which one is the right one, I don't know, the pressure of the dragon Sucy coming is already killing me, I have to do something, think Akko, think... Oh I know, I think this is going to be a bit awkward, I think she's going to have to have this first experience, but come on Akko, you've never done this either, only I can risk it, anything to bring Sucy back and get out alive.
"Okay Sucy, I know this might be your first time doing this and it won't be as good, but I think a romantic kiss will be what wakes you sleeping beauty" I tell her then grab several potions.
I put them all together in my mouth, I see the dragon's eyes looking at me, now it's time to do this, all or nothing before I become food for this thing, I take Sucy's smooth face, I get closer, feeling her breathing, I try to hold on, and now it's time, with my cheeks full of potion with the bitter taste I get too close and end up hitting something, bumping into the bed.
"Get out Akko" Sucy said and I'm kind of relieved, I guess it must have worked out.
Outside...
I take my head stuck to the bed and when I went to see the dragon wasn't there anymore, only our room that ended up being full of mushrooms, now it's really fucked up, everyone will realize this, but at least I'm free from death, after having entered Sucy's mind, I'll even enjoy it and thank her.
"Thanks a lot Sucy! I did it, it even deserves a kiss" I try to move forward to give a kiss and she dodges me making me face the pillow again.
"Get out Akko, what the fuck" She said and I then continue to hug her with my face glued together, until she pushes me away.
"So Sucy, how are we going to get rid of this, Ah, that's very simple, we just need to drop some of this potion here and all the mushrooms will disappear"
"Now we can have a weekend without detention and trouble!" I say happily while the drop of potion is falling on the mushrooms.
"Not that Akko! Not that one!" she said desperately and I hadn't listened properly, when I went to see it was too late it dripped a single drop and I managed to stop myself, which I just shrugged.
"You see it's not so bad" I tell them.
Then a tremor starts to be felt in the middle of our room, I think that now things got worse, by the nine witches, even with a little drop it was bad, Sucy and Lotte went running outside, I went to do the same, until I was pushed by the several mushrooms in my room, where I am thrown to the outside and the mushrooms all accumulated in our room, which will be a sign for a detention, when we see exactly Professor Finnelan was passing by in the corridors.
"What have you people done to your room?" She said with her arms crossed.
"It's my fault Miss Finnelan, Akko has nothing to do with it, I went to do an experiment with mushrooms and they ended up accumulating in the whole room" Sucy said relievingly to me, which even surprised me, I didn't expect her to be like that.
"Come with me to the headmaster's office, teacher Lukic will fix up your room" said the annoying teacher.
At the board after teacher Finnelan's explanation and Sucy's justification...
"As always you three getting into trouble, well this is a lack of discipline and this weekend you will spend sharing the room with teacher Ursula and also with one of our most disciplined students that we will select to perform this service, and you Akko, you will still continue in your service, do not think we have forgotten" said the headmistress to us.
"It's okay we understand" I say putting my hands together until relieved that it wasn't going to be worse punishment, I take a deep breath, at least things might not be that bad.
"Headmistress, why don't you take me to the compound too? I can teach them how to keep order in their rooms?" Said the annoying teacher and don't even come with that, let her stay out, please Mrs Holbrooke, anything but this annoying one with us.
"You will know who will stay with them, of our students, you can be sure that it will serve to put more disciplines to these girls" said the lady and I breathe relieved, just imagine the bag that would be a quarter of the discipline with teacher Finnelan, at least it will be with Ursula and the other girl, I hope she is not one of the boring girls from Luna Nova ... Well, there's nothing worse, we get out of trouble and maybe we can make friends with her too.
Hours later after classes and also Akko's detention work...
Ahhhh, I can't wait to see how this is going to be, I walk back to the room, I leave the things in the caretakers room, another day with these corridors shining, I swear I learned more about housework in this place than I learned about magic, now I know why everyone is so behaved, they couldn't stand two minutes being freer, well now my presence is missing, I reach the door and I see Sucy and Lotte waiting for me, there was teacher Finnelan, also teacher Ursula.
"Well finally Miss Kagari can finish with her behavioural homework" said the annoying teacher.
"Yeah I did what they told me, my back is hurting, I just want to go inside to take a shower and relax my back" I tell them.
"Now you will be staying in the discpline dorm for the weekend get to know your new roommate for that time" Said the teacher opening the door and when I went to look, I found none other than Diana sitting on the extra bed while reading a book.
"Diana?" I say in surprise.
"Well Miss Cavendish will do as requested and report all your progress, if you are within all the behaviour, you will be released, if not, you will have to pay detention, anyway, I hope you enjoy the company, Miss Ursula will also tutor you these days" Said the annoying teacher who then left.
We went in there, I was in shock, of all people it has to be Diana, she's going to get on our nerves and won't take it easy on us, I can see that, but what the hell, why does it have to be her soon, well anyway I'm going to take a shower and relax a bit, since hell is going to start.
POV Diana:
This is already an excess of the headmaster and teacher Finnelan, why do I have to measure the behavior of what they do in their rooms and have to act according to the way it is here? This is the only place they have freedom, gee, this rule book they gave me has a lot of absurd things, I don't even do this myself in my room, let alone them, I guess there's nae much they can do, the girls nod tae me, I see Akko entering the bathroom of her room, it must be tiring even to pay these detentions.
"So Diana, I know it might seem a bit off the rules, but try to lighten up with them on the rules, I swear I'll try to lighten up with you too, so teacher Finnelan doesn't stuff it with us" Whispers teacher Ursula to me and I just shrugged.
"Look teacher, I take a risk with you so that we leave them free, there is nae reason tae imply in these rules, nae even I myself comply with them in my room full of luxury and I am one of the most disciplined students of this place, who will say the other students here, these rules are bordering on the absurd" I tell her without needing to whisper.
"Are you really going to relieve us Diana?" Sucy asks.
"It's absurd rules, a lot of things you have here dinnae even have in your room, rules used in the luxurious rooms of Luna Nova, that I dinnae even follow myself, so aye, just be yourselves, I won't disturb you" I tell them shrugging my shoulders.
"Well, that will be wonderful for Akko to hear, but what will she do about the teacher and the headmistress?" Lotte asks.
"I will question these orders, I will intervene on your behalf, it would be an unfair punishment for you and we are both on your side in this, just pretend that I am nae even here, I will nae be filling your patience"
When Akko gets out of the bath...
Now Akko is the one who arrives, she would have already broken the dress code, what I also break, kind of sleeping naked here is out of the rules, wearing a dressing gown is also out of the rules, it has to be the official pajamas of Luna Nova, but the rules of this are nae since the 1940s, here was much stricter in the past, today the students have much more freedom of dress at least here, already Akko is with a shorts and a t-shirt, this is even seen in the book as indecent dress, she quickly nods to me, I nod back too.
"Please Diana, I know you're all regimented, but at least let us be free in our room, it's the only place we are outside the rules of Luna Nova and have some freedom, without the teachers picking on us" Akko said to me.
"I already told them and I will repeat it tae you Akko, I will nae make you follow these absurd rules, some of them border on elitism, there is nae place here tae comply with a whole book like this, this is a simple room, you can leave that I will nae get involved in this matter" I tell her and then she comes to me and ends up hugging me which I end up feeling a strange warmth.
Hugging, I haven't felt that in a long time, no one has hugged me tight like that since my mum... She's all full of contact, Hannah and Barbara barely hug me, but this hug from Akko, hot, I think I'm blushing here, I better hold on, before I end up having a gay panic, it's too much physical contact and it's good.
"Well now let's take advantage and present our things to Diana, she is one of us and so is Professor Ursula" Akko said all excited, until I open a smile, this discipline room thing might be a new experience for me, it's a new environment.
After the presentation of the fourth...
"And finally the wonderful bunk under my bed, where I sleep every night, that has this incredible poster of Chariot that is always beside me, whenever I sleep I feel protected and full of hope that one day I will see her in person" said the excited Akko and this is actually quite cute, even with all the controversy behind Shiny Chariot, it is a genuine passion, I even begin tae understand better what goes on in Akko's head.
"It is really quite interesting your room, it is much simpler than mine, but you manage tae have life, it is something that fascinates me, I cannot see that when I am with Hannah and Barbara, you appreciate every place here, with history, you feel comfortable with so little" I tell them.
"It's a space that we like, it's huge here Diana, really, it's much bigger than my room in Japan and I have a big room there, one day maybe I'll take Lotte and Sucy to visit my family there, I'll show them everything with all the excitement in the world, My parents will love to know that I got such wonderful friends" said Akko being all sweet with the two, I notice how Sucy gets a little disgusted while Lotte just acts calm, it's a very different interaction than I have with Hannah and Barbara, they have much more contact, they are closer, sometimes I feel all isolated when the two are talking.
"I hope we don't spend hours listening to you talk about chariot this or chariot that," Manbavaran said teasing her friend, the two of them being so genuinely friendly was making me a little jealous.
"And you Diana, how is your room, tell us, let's share experiences" Atsuko said and I think I can share those experiences.
Much later at night, almost to bedtime, they were all already lying asleep, with the exception of Diana and Akko.
Who would say that here would be really nice tae spend time, talk about my room, they are amazed, thinking it is something from another world, I even feel bad because I have these things, but they dinnae, even so they live very well, but they could live better, there is nae reason tae push me tae an expensive and luxurious room just because I have name and money, many of the luxuries there are basic things that could be here.
"Diana, can I talk to you just to clear up one of my doubts?" said Akko sitting down next tae me on the bed.
"Sure Akko, what do you want to know?" I tell her as I leave the book on a desk beside her.
"When I was a child, around my seven years old, I was watching the last show of Chariot that was in Japan, only there when I went to buy the legendary card of Chariot, a girl appeared and bought it before, I remember her features well, a little western girl, blonde hair, similar to yours, with curls and waves just like yours, answer me one thing ... Was that you that day?" Akko asks and she reveals something big, but it's too early to tell her about it, I take a deep breath and try to lie, unfortunately it's not time yet.
"Look Akko, it could be anyone, you could have met with any Westerner who was there on a trip, because it would be very impractical for me tae go to Japan on this specific date, it could be that the appearance does nae match and you ended up associating it with me" I say tae her, who shrugs.
"Look that she looked like you she was, the only thing that I think could be different, were the teeth, the little girl had her teeth divided, a space between them, she was very cute, well if it's not you, then I think that one day I'll find her, it could be someone from your family who knows, I just know that she was my age, I'm wanting to do this for the sake of honor, when I find her I want to gift her back with the legendary Chariot card that she gave me and completed my collection, I thank this girl from my heart for doing such a kindness" She said and I felt my heart even palpitate stronger, Holy Lesbian Beatrix, now she really killed, this is beautiful... I'll keep calm and try tae speak less shuffled, but this is getting to me.
"Sae akko, fae whit ah mind, this shiny chariot shaw date matches gey claise tae th' date o' mah maw's death... Thare wis na wey ah wid even be able tae see th' shaw, even if ah wis a fan, mah mither wis terribly peely-wally at that time... Tae this day a'm feelin' sorry fur that day" I tell her that then hugs me, at that she does my heart starts racing, I start sweating, I even spoke in a more Scottish accent and let go, I can't hold myself when I get embarrassed.
"I almost didn't understand much of what you said, but my condolences Diana, your mother must have been an amazing person, anyway... Good night Diana, that's what I wanted to talk to you about," she said, getting out of my bed and walking over to hers.
She stopped in the middle of the way, looked into my eyes noticing that they were starting tae glisten tae form some tears, she came back to me, kissed my forehead, which I blushed more, she simply went to lie down on my bed next tae me, I was kind of embarrassed with no reaction of what to do, but at the same time I wanted tae, I felt like a little lassie again, I remembered the times when my mother was still alive and she would go to sleep with me in my room, after going through my cousins.
POV Narrator:
Another one of the adventures that Akko ends up getting into in her life in Luna Nova, this time facing Sucy's own mind, as she had to almost die to wake up her friend and stop Luna Nova from ending up full of mushrooms, but trouble always seems to have a magnet for the red team trio that despite everything ended up punishing them with a "discipline room", which due to absurd rules could not even be applied.
See you, sucy witches...

The first person of Luna Nova that Akko saw and tried to communicate, but the girl herself showed a total disinterest in relation to this, for not liking physical contact, what in the beginning also just wanted to ignore what would become her future friend. With a more reserved and introverted personality, Sucy is not a person who talks a lot, although when she opens her mouth, she always speaks with a lot of sarcasm and also with sadism, what she always loves to do, mainly in relation to her friends, is to cause a "fire in the playground", to see the surroundings with a good mess, but even so she is an excellent friend and when she can she is always helping her troublesome friend to stay out of trouble.
