The Meeting

Flashback

They crowded for the stairs.

And two boys were waiting for them.

Now

"What are you doing here, um - wait, what's your name?" Michiyo asked suddenly.

"We want to give you something." the Magician said. He stood up.

"I'm Fujiwara Taiki, this is Saruwatari Takumi." he introduced.

"We're brothers. And when we're at Level Thirty, we're supposed to go to Ludibrium to meet our parents." Takumi added.

"Oh, we are, too." Higuchi said shyly.

"So?" Yuri squeaked out.

"We are not strong enough to get to Level Thirty. Our mesos were spent on stuff like books to entertain the smallest sibling. Both of us have six more siblings." Taiki said.

"Oh. That's odd." Yumi piped up.

"Yeah, because we are the eight siblings, and Akimitsu is my best friend and Miharu is also my best friend, too." Ayumi said.

"We don't have best friends. Well, in Ludibrium I do. I have a great friend that is a Hermit, and another guy who is at Level Thirty-Three. He had not leveled since, because he had been poring over interesting books." Taiki said. On the other hand, Takumi was speaking to Michiyo.

All of them were chattering, when they heard Mr. Flint call, "I'm off for bed! You guys sleep early, especially the seven of you, since we'll have a lot of deliveries to make!"

All of them had replied with an "Okay!" and chattered.. and chattered.. and chattered.

Then, Akimitsu checked her watch, and almost screeched.

"My God. It's two in the morning already! Everyone, get to bed, for we have a ton of things to do." Akimitsu said.

The boys returned to their room, and the girls all went into sleep. A deep one, I say.

Sunshine crept into the dark, musty underground, and it shone brightly on Ayumi's face, making her blink her eyes and wake up. She got up and stared at the sky.

It was a bright clear blue, and the sun was shining clearly, rising up slowly. Although Kerning City has misty smoke that comes from houses nearby, the sun could make its way through the smoke and shine brightly.

Ayumi glanced at a corner of a book peeking behind her bed. With a big heave, she managed to drag it out and look at the title of the book, dusting the book as she did so.

It read as : My Journal

Then, she awarded herself a bonk. She kept this journal ever since she had gone to Maple Island. A girl named Rina gave her that book.

She was just unlocking the journal when she heard a creak and saw Taiki peeking out.

"Is it sunny? I see it so." whispered Taiki. Ayumi nodded, smiling. He smiled back and closed the door.

Her heart suddenly did not feel like it was beating normally. It was beating - fast. She tried ignoring it and fiddled with the lock and the key instead, but failed to do so.

"Morning." a voice mumbled, and a thud sound was made.

Ayumi jumped and looked behind her, seeing messy hair, and behind that load of hair was a face that belonged to Kurosawa Akimoto. And the thud?

It was Akimoto just falling on the pillow.

And that did it.

She cracked up.

Akimoto took her bolster and whacked her with it. Ayumi grabbed a pillow and slammed it on her head.

It made the other girls wake up, and create a pillow/bolster fight, with giggles and yelps of pain or feathers in between it.

Mr. Flint came downstairs.

"Oh. What a surprise. You all sure do have a lot of energy today. So, I'll have to drive you working hard." Mr. Flint looked at the now feathery place with amusement.

The six groaned.

"Aw, Mr. Fli-int." Yuri whined.

"And, help me set up the store. C'mon. There might be tons of people wanting pills or potions for their sickness from this ever-so-famous pharmacy." Mr. Flint said.

The six siblings managed to tear away from their comfortable beds, to the cold stone floor, do their morning jobs and set up the store.

Ayumi and Akmitsu winked at each other.

"I'm so glad we have to train." Ayumi said, walking out of her "house".

Akimitsu nodded agreeably.

They went to the hospital, to see that visiting hours hadn't started yet. Akimitsu, who was worried that they wouldn't remember it, jotted down the visiting hours in a pad of paper and kept it safely in her robe.

Ayumi and Akimitsu began their journey to the Orange Mushrooms.

- - - - - - - -

"Great cures for any sickness!" Yumi called out.

Inside the shop, Yuri and Higuchi heaved the big box of potions and arranged them nicely in rows, replacing the old ones for the fresh ones.

Shiori was helping Mr. Flint guarding the cashier, when Mr. Flint had to go to the Henesys Market and buy some cartons of water for the helpful people he's got.

Taiki and Takumi had went with him, delighted to help.

Michiyo replaced for Shiori when Shiori went to the basement to get another stock of pills.

It was a fun day. They loved working. And not because they'd be awarded, but they kindly like to help.

Akimoto had dropped a box of arrows, and one scratched her leg, but she was happy.

"Accidents happen, don't they?" Akimoto said when Mr. Flint had came back with cartons of water with Taiki and Takumi's help and noticed the scratch but arrows cleared.

Kairi delivered goods back and forth, so did Yuri and Higuchi.

Sure, they did have fun.

- - - - - - - -

Ayumi just used a Magic Claw and whacked the Orange Mushroom.

"No. Please, I don't believe it." Ayumi giggled as she picked up the Orange Mushroom Cap.

"Yechh. Don't say that. It's true." Akimitsu insisted.

"Try keeping it. For years. It'll go all musty and dirty and rotten,"

Ayumi made an action to barf.

Akimitsu giggled. They began a race to level to Level Twenty.

- - - - - - - -

"Augghh!" screamed Yuri. She had saw a dirty furry caterpillar, which made her hair stand.

"What is it?" Mr. Flint limped to her, worried. He saw the caterpillar.

"That?" Michiyo had came to her and pointed at it.

Shiori noticed that Mr. Flint had a worried look.

"What is the matter, Mr. Flint?" Shiori asked.

"That caterpillar, is deadly."

Deadly..

Deadly..

-eadly..

ly..

That was one word that everyone had on their minds then. The girls screamed and jumped back (Except for Higuchi), while the boys tried to stay calm.

"How are we going to deal with this?" Higuchi asked, calmly.

"We need a spell. To harm him." Mr. Flint replied.

"No. We can't hurt it." Higuchi shot.

"Then how am I going to do the business?"

"I'll have to bring it outside."

"Are you sure?"

Before even Mr. Flint could add a few more words, Higuchi took her wand and began to chant.

" I ain't harming you,

I ain't touching you,
I will bring you outside,

Where the sun will be right nice. "

Higuchi waved her wand at the caterpillar. A silvery white swirled out of the tip of the wand and it brought the caterpillar outside of the pharmacy.

Akimoto gasped admiringly.

The issue was forgotten quickly, since they had a lot of customers to put with.

They had a quick break, and they stood outside, drinking water.

Ayumi and Akimitsu came back just then.

"Uh - guys. Why aren't you at the hospital?" Akimitsu asked.

"We're just taking a break. Since Mr. Flint drove us insane." Akimoto said, and Mr. Flint's head pekeed from the pharmacy door.

"Akimoto, I heard that. Then I shall drive you insane." Mr. Flint's lips twisted into an amused smile when he saw Akimoto's jaw fell clattering on the floor.

Higuchi giggled.

They were having a nice time, when they heard something limping to them with crutches.

"Hi, guys." a voice said cheerfully, greeting everyone.
