Here's the super delayed chapter five ;-; I meant to update when I put in my other story (if anyone read it) but something happened, and I only had time to finish the story I started.

Please forgive me, and enjoy!

"Huh… Kazuma? What's this" Ayano asked, her eyes squinting slightly.

"I bought you breakfast, as an apology for yesterday." He replied, giving a short smile.

Ayano sat up and rubbed her eyes, the light of the sun shining in on the upper half of her body. To her, this was a perfect start of a day. There was a slight breeze, and the temperature was perfect. The sun was shining bright, but remained warm instead of hot, and she was with Kazuma, who had thought of bringing her breakfast.

"Thanks Kazuma. But it's alright. I wasn't really upset because I was pretty tired and all." She said, grabbing the tray of food. She began to eat. "H-hey thish ish wreally good" She told Kazuma, her mouth still full.

"Yeah I got it at Akira Cuisine. I figured you'd like it." He grinned.

Ayano took another bite. "Wreally?! That plashe ish so expenshive! You couldrve gome to Wcdonalds! WcDonalds wouldrve been fime!" (Really?! That place is so expensive! You could've gone to WcDonalds! WcDonalds would've been fine!)

"Nah it wasn't much. I get a ton of cash from jobs I take anyway. Just consider it a treat, that's all." Kazuma said, feeling as though he made the right call.

A muffled ringing sound came from Kazuma's pocket. Kazuma took out his phone and checked who is calling.

"Sorry princess, I gotta take this." He walked onto the balcony and closed the sliding door.

Ayano watched him talk on the phone while she continued to finish her breakfast. She had no idea what he was saying, but she knew it wasn't good from his body language. His eyes were wide with shock, and his body corresponded. After his short conversation on the phone, he opened the sliding door. His expression returned to the usual calmness, then he opened his mouth to speak.

"I have to go." He said, approaching her.

"What, why? What happened?" She asked, showing sadness from her tone of voice.

"Something's come up. I'm sorry, Ayano, but I can't stay. I'm sure your father was told as well." He kissed her on the forehead, and disappeared into the azure sky.

Ayano looked to the ground, and went to the front of the hotel.

She began walking toward the forest. She pondered on what could have happened, but not as much as she enjoyed the scenery. The lush, green grass was long, and the light of the sun shone through trees beautifully. The birds sang in perfect harmony, and the flowers were bright and fragrant. She loved this day.

She walked the paths in the forest for quite some time. Her phone read 3:56, so she started heading home. She figured if something big was happening, her father knows about it. Ayano gathered her things from the hotel, and began walking home.

"… yeah and?" A voice from a back alley spoke. "It's only going to be this once, who cares about him"

"Please, don't!" A pleading voice responded. Ayano rushed in to find another guy trying to get on a girl, in all the wrong ways.

"YOU PERRRVVEEERRRRTTTTTT!" Ayano jumped at him and threw out a high kick to his face, landing a direct hit. He flew to the ground and quickly ran off. Ayano chucked a few fire balls to make sure he didn't come back as well.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ayano asked the frightened girl.

"I am now. Thank you so much!" She hugged Ayano. This girl was young. In her early teens. That guy was an ass hole. I should have taken him to Kirika. She would have sorted this out. She thought.

After making sure the girl got home safe, Ayano went home herself. She went straight to her father.

"Father!"

"Ayano? I'm surprised you're here." He said nonchalantly.

"Father, something happened, and Kazuma said he had to deal with it."

His eyes narrowed. "So you wish to know what's happening with that?" He asked her calmly.

"Yes."

"Very well." He began. "The water magic users are back."

There we have it. Chapter five! I hope you all liked it.

Another apology for another goddamn delayed chapter, I'm just really bad at uploading, and I know it sucks. But here it is! I'll try to write a ton of chapters, since it's summer and all.

Please leave a review!
