Wolfram's mouth went agape. Saying that he is 'surprised' is going to be a big understatement; it rendered him speechless on what lay before his eyes. For short, he is looking at his fiancé like he had grown another head.

"Wolfram?" Yuuri asked with curiosity and confusion filling his eyes. What could shock Wolfram so much that he couldn't even move from the spot ever since he looked at him? Is there something wrong with his face? Did Annissina's helmet made a transformation in his appearance? Did he become a 'she'?

"Are you really… Yuuri?"

"What are you saying? Of course I am Yuuri!" The Maou touched his face, trying to feel if there were some physical distortions on his body. I'm still me.

Still the shocked look on Wolfram's face didn't change a bit. It only made Yuuri be confused more. Does he really look that bad? Or he did something to upset Wolfram that much? Nevertheless, Yuuri went for the safest way, he bowed and his hands clasped just above his head trying to make himself sound as sincere as possible. "I probably did something again right? I'm really sorry!"

His fiancé's plead woke Wolfram up from his shocked state and he is amused to find Yuuri bowing right before him. But being a tsundere that he always was, embarrassment started crawling over him and began to stutter his reply. "W-What are you doing Yuuri? H-Have you gone nuts?"

"Huh?" Yuuri still remained bowed. "I thought you hate me."

"You-." Wolfram knew that he should be explaining what happened to Yuuri but stopped himself from doing so. There is no use of saying anything to the likes of Yuuri. The heck! He didn't even realize that he just turned into a kid in these past few days! "Forget it, never mind."

The blonde decided to drop the topic and besides he still need to get Yuuri back to his room and tell the others the good news. If he wasn't mistaken, Gwendal and the others might be checking up on him, and if they see that the Maou is once again not in his room, the castle might be turned upside down 'literally' by Gwendal. His brother really had enough of the kidnapping schemes for the past few days. And adding the sudden visit of the Maou's mother the situation suddenly changed into something he quite label as troublesome at all.

"Uh.. so… now that you have forgiven me.. uh… why are we here Wolfram? How did I get here anyways?" indifference was something written on Yuuri's face. Looks like he didn't even remember what happened to him when he was in his kid form. "If I remember correctly, we are in the corridor with Annissina.

Is he talking about when he transformed back in just a few seconds and became a kid again? (okay folks I was talking about the time that this fic 'was' supposed to end..)

"You don't remember anything Yuuri?" Wolfram tried to inspect his fiancé's head, trying to see if there a bump or there are wounds that might cause him to lose some of his memories. Surely it isn't caused by Annissina's invented helmet.

But Wolfram knew that it's only a wishful thinking. Annissina's inventions always have side an effect aside from it's out of the world purpose. But more than that he needs to tell his brothers about the good news and also Yuuri's mother too.

"Remember what? Did anything happened?"

Just as I thought. Yuuri doesn't know anything. Wolfram sighed dramatically.

"You are really an easy-going person."

"What do you mean by that huh?"

"It is what it is. Never mind that. We need to meet aniue and tell him the good news."

"Good news?"

Wolfram shook his head. He knew that explaining everything would only make things complicated. And Yuuri, being the dumb person that he is, will not get a thing anyways. "Let's go Yuuri… Yuuri?"

"…"

When Wolfram turned back to Yuuri, he was surprised on what he saw. Or rather 'who' he saw. There, standing at the very same place where Yuuri was earlier is the kid version of their king.

And the teen version?

Gone.

"WHAT?"

Wolfram's eyes were as big as saucers as he stared at the little form before him. The kid is staring back at him with its large and innocent onyx eyes filled with confusion. He just turned for a second and the next thing he knew the Yuuri disappeared and replaced again by Yuu-chan! What in the world is happening? Are his eyes deceiving him? Or someone is really trying to pick a fight or playing tricks on him?

The kid continued at staring cutely at him, giving off this kind of soft aura that no one would resist to look at. "Wol-chan?"

"Y..Yuuri? What happened? Why did you turn back to a kid? What happened to the older you? Arggggh! I'm getting confused!" Wolfram ruffled his hair in too much frustration. He really didn't get anything on about what just happened. One minute the old Yuuri was back and he just turned around and Yuuri turned back to a kid. And it also seemed like the kid doesn't know anything. Just like the teen one.

A voice interrupted Wolfram's inner ranting in how confused he is and his other mental questions. And it turned out to be Conrad who happened to be passing around and heard his brother's confused and loud voice ringing all over the empty corridor. He decided to take a look on what must have confused the blonde but all he saw was his bather talking to his shrunk fiancé. He decided to come and ask what is wrong. "Wolfram?"

The blonde immediately stopped monolouguing and turned at the direction of the voice. His eyes were as wide as saucers as he immediately realized who called him. Heat made its way on his face, knowing he looked like an idiot. "C-Conrad? W-What are you doing here? You didn't see anything right!"

"What would I see?" Of course Conrad decided to be polite as ever.

"N-Nothing!"

"Were you talking to His Majesty?"

But instead of answering Conrad's question Wolfram collected the kid in his arms and marched out of the corridor. He thought that I would be better to talk about the topic when everybody is [resent that repeating himself to those who will ask him again about the incident. "Come, let's go find Aniue."

Even though confused on Wolfram's actions, Conrad followed.

Somewhere in the castle…

Murata knew that it is already a past issue, and it doesn't count anymore.

He also knew that no matter what he do what is done, is already done and cannot be reciprocated.

But still, his mind insisted to visit a certain 'king' whose hobby is making more troubles and adding problems on what is currently at hand and it was no other than Shinou. Murata still can't forget that Shinou purposely brought Miko Shibuya in 'this' world and had her deal with what they are facing.

Yes, the sage couldn't agree any further that the result was greater than he imagined it would turn out to be. But still, he can't let this thing slip up easily. He needs a painfully nice and long chit chat with the first king. "So he better keep his ears ready"

"Where are you going my sage?" A very familiar voice called put to him.

"Oh, perfect timing Shinou. Let me have a word with you." With a smile never leaving off his face, Murata approached the fountain which he spotted the first king in his miniature form.

And the long lecture just started.

(~pagebreak~)

Miko Shibuya loves the castle, it's beautiful, and majestic. She easily got along with the people living in the castle and are even giving here direction in her random tours in the castle. Of course now that she got the chance to visit the other world, she doesn't like to miss a chance in exploring the whole castle.

She really couldn't believe that her son lives in this castle as a king. "This is just like in the fairy tales! It's so beautiful and lovely~"

"You really like adding headaches to people around you. Seriously when will you learn?" A voice from a near distance was heard as she passes through the lawn. Miko knew that voice. Of course why couldn't she, it was none other Murata Ken. "Ken-chan?"

The woman began to wonder why would a jolly person such as Murata sound stressed about a topic? And he seems to be talking…or rather arguing with somebody.

"Ara? Are you talking with somebody, Ken-chan?" Miko curiously approached the teen that seemed to be talking to a…fountain. Well, she couldn't see someone who might be Murata's companion but he sure is talking in front of a fountain, though she could her a soft voice that she is sure coming from a male.

Do fountains in this world talks?

Or maybe…

The woman's eyes lit up at the possibility that the teen might be talking to someone supernatural like fairies. As Miko approached the fountain, a red color caught her attention which turned out to be a cape. And on the top of that, there is a person wearing that cape.

.

..

"KYAAAAAAAHHHH! A FAIRY!"

Shinou almost wanted to sigh at the word 'fairy' how many times had he been mistaken for that creature? He doesn't even have wings. The last people who called him a fairy were kids, and he knew that it is understandable enough given their age. But this?

Shinou stared at the woman that is currently looking at him with large sparkling eyes. Shinou knew that this isn't the end of it.

"Shinou heika!" Someone called out Shinou's name which turned out to be Wolfram Von Bielefield holding Yuuri in his arms and Conrad after him. From the looks of it, Wolfram happened to be passing by and heard the great squeal of Miko and rushed onto the scene. And the presence of the sage only made it look like that something bad was going on.

"What is this ruckus about?" Another voice came in and happened to be Gwendal.

Gwendal was running away from Annissina who was trying to make him a guinea pig again for her experiments. The woman even had the courage to tell that the experiment is for the sake of turning back the Maou in his teen form, but Gwendal knew better than to involve himself on some random and unsure experiment that might cost him his life. He heard a scream and followed the voice and seeing the sage, Shibuya Miko, Conrad, Wolfram and Yuuri he decided to know what is the meaning of the sudden meeting in the gardens.

And it is better than getting caught by Annissina.

Murata started to get uneasy. He knew Shinou was planning something again. And of course when it says "Shinou's Plans" it has done nothing but to give him headaches.

"Shinou.." Murata gave a warning call though Shinou shrugged it off.

"Fairy!" Yuuri said in delight as he saw Shinou by the fountain. Now it is not to be doubted that Miko and Yuuri are mother and son. Being amused on the so-called fairy before him, Yuuri wriggled out of Wolfram's arms. Before the blonde could've reacted Yuuri is already in front of the very fountain, staring Shinou with his bright and sparkling onyx eyes. Of course it was in the kids nature to touch anything that it sees, and fairies looking like Shinou are no exemption in this rule.

Yuuri tried to grab the king but Shinou being as fast as ever managed to foresee the movement and dodged it. This action only made the kid go excited on catching Shinou, he stood up on the side of the fountain and tried to jump in order to gain more length and catch the king, but instead of achieving his intentions, Yuuri clumsily slipped on the platform he was standing and fell out of balance.

Yuuri fell in the fountain.

Conrad was the first one to react and tried to save the maou from getting wet, but to no luck even though Conrad has some great reflexes in him he failed. Wolfram and Gunter followed trying to help the situation, but just like Conrad, the two ended up in the water.

"Weller-kyou, Von Bielefield-kyou, Von Christ-kyou!" Murata worriedly called. He just knew that something isn't right, the gut feeling the something is going to happen isn't helping the situation either. But seeing things as it unfolds before his very eyes, Murata glared at Shinou trying to threaten him not to screw anything at the moment.

Murata knew how much Shinou loves to mess things up.

"Shinou don't you ever dare—" Murata's efforts to prevent the situation from coming proved to be futile as the water started splashing in a movement they are all familiar with. Shinou is transporting them to earth!

Gwendal sighed knowing exactly what is going on. He really wanted to facepalm right there and then if only it wouldn't look very rude. Shinou the main cause of their distress right now is just in front of them, looking as unfazed as ever as if he had done nothing wrong.

How did a king like that ever managed to build Shin Makoku?

Now, Gwendal knew of Murata's headaches over the past few centuries.

The teen turned to Miko, smiling at her trying to reassure that everything is still at hand. The woman is still oblivious on what is happening around her. Obviously she doesn't know Shinou and she doesn't know that Shinou always means trouble.

"Ken-chan?"

"Please step on the water mama-san, we'll be back on earth." Murata said cheerfully, and good enough the woman followed her without question and.

"Please follow us, nee Ken-chan!" and the woman disappeared before their eyes.

"I will, after 'this'. I'm sorry Von Voltaire-kyou, don't worry I'll look after Shibuya and the others. Please just take care of the things here."

Gwendal nodded in response.

Thank Murata for his maturity, he won't be leaving the country as it is and he would just let the sage handle thing on the other world. He is the 'great sage' after all.

Murata turned to Shinou with his face wearing a sweet smile. Too sweet that it could be considered as menacing. Shinou could even feel the glares hidden behind those smiles and he knew he overdid his pranks…

Again.

"And as for you…"

"My sage, I—" but before the king could finish his explanation, Murata already grabbed him, preventing the king from escaping. "You'll be coming with us and be responsible for your actions."

"What?"

Both Gwendal and the king were surprised by the decision. But before the two of them could protest, Murata already jumped in the water holding Shinou on his left hand. All Gwendal could do is facepalm and deeply sigh.

The events getting more moronic not to mention getting out of hand. And to think that the sage would do such rash action too. Gwendal tried to massage his head as he felt another headache coming.

(~pagebreak~)

On Earth…

Shouri is still in front of the bathtub sulking, he still can't get over the fact that his mother was able to cross on the other dimension and he was left here alone. Well, his dad is at work so literally he's alone. It's been hours since Miko Shibuya got sucked in by the water yet, Shouri still stood beside the tub and waiting for the next chance that the water would react and bring him to Shin Makoku. Soon enough, Shouri heard the water moving and his gave averted in the direction of the tub. Shouri's face lit up as he knew this kind of scene, he knew that the gate if the dimension is opening.

"Alright! This time I'll be going too!" Shouri jumped in the water.

7 figures emerged in the tub, causing the water to flow. Gunter and Wolfram below Conrad, followed by Miko Shibuya and Murata Ken.

The two left?

Chibi Yuuri was atop of them and Shinou on the side, the king already got himself out of the tub, knowing that it would be cramped soon.

"What a troublesome person you are my sage." A baritone voice made all the person inside the bathroom glance on Shinou's direction. The expectators' eyes except Murata that only raised an eyebrow, widened in disbelief on what laid before them.

It was Shinou.

In his original form.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?"
