Chapter 6 – Velvet Scarlatina
Morning now shines over the kingdom of Vale. Mine wakes up a worrisome nap. She gets out of bed, trying to keep her eyes open. The pink haired girl looks over to see Tatsumi still is sleeping on his bed.
"He must have been more tired than he let on, maybe I should have offered to our weapons for a while." Mine thinks to herself as she looks at Tatsumi sleep. She then walks out door to try to find the restroom, her head lowered to because of her tired state. Looking across the hallway, she sees a young women with long brown hair.
Mine walks over to the person and calls to her, "Umm…hello. I am kind of lost. Can you show the way to the restroom."
The women then faced Mine to say, "It is down this hallway on the right, before the stairs."
"Thanks." Mine says trying to look up to see the face of the person that helped her. Her eyes keep going up as she then realizes that the person had the long rabbit ears. Her face then changes to astonishment as she takes a step back.
"How do you have ears like that?" Mine says as she points to the person's rabbit ears.
The young women was befuddled by her statement, "I am a Faunas."
"A Faunas?" Mine replies, confused over who this person was, "That is not an effect of using your weapon?"
"No…Are you not from around here?" The women answers with a long pause trying to figure out why this person did not know what a Faunas was.
A voice form behind Mine arises, "Is this girl giving you trouble, Velvet." The pink haired girl looks over to see a young woman dressed in brown with black glasses and a beret. "No Coco, she was just asking where the restroom is." Velvet replies.
"Sorry, I am kind of new here and do not know my way around. Could you help me and my friend find our way around the Capital." Mine says to Coco.
"Capital? You mean kingdom." Velvet says to Mine, who then is a little astonished of her mix-up maybe breaking her cover.
"We do not have time, we have our first class to get to. Let us go Velvet." Coco says walking by Mine and signaling Velvet to follower her. They takes a few steps away from Mine before talking to each other. Mine then breves a sigh of defeat and walks to the other direction to the restroom. She then is stopped by Coco calling back to her.
"Hey you, Pinky, we may still be able to help you but you have to do us a favor first." Mine then turn around, annoyed at her nickname, but eager to have help on finding out where she is.
Back in the bedroom, Tatsumi wakes up and looks over Mine's bed. He notices that she was not in it and then starts calling for her name. He then sees the door open and Mine walking in.
"Where were you?" Tatsumi asks.
"I went to go use the restroom and found some people that can help us," Mine says as she picks up hers and Tatsumi's weapons, "but we have to fight them so they can get a good grade in combat class." She then throws Tatsumi his sword.
"What!?" Tatsumi says as he catches the sword.
"We are in a really odd school now, but is we want help in learning more about it and finder the others, we have to do a little sparing." Mine says as she adjust her Pumpkin's sight walks back out the door. Tatsumi agrees with Mine logic and follows her out the door. The two reconvene with Coco and Velvet.
"You two ready, follow us to the arena. Do not hold back because we sure are not" Coco says as she leads the way. Mine and Tatsumi agree and start walking behind them. As they are walking, Tatsumi and Mine just stare at Velvet's rabbit ears.
