"Alright, then let's end this festival with a bang!" Takeo exclaimed, with a smirk on his face.
[Mahora Festival] [Day Two]
Yue, Setsuna and Kazumi were all waiting in the middle of the festival.
"Didn't Takeo-Kun said, he'd come and meet us here?" Kazumi asked.
"He said he wanted to talk to us about the Albion Empire." Setsuna answered. "Yue-San have you read anything about them in your Arcanum?"
"Yes, the Albion Empire has a rich history." Yue answered. "But I don't think..."
"Excuse me, are you looking for Takeo-Kun?" A familiar voice asked.
They turned around and saw Zero standing behind them smiling, and wearing normal clothing with Shiro riding on his shoulder.
"Yes, uh who are you?" Kazumi asked, with a confused expression.
"Where are my manners, my name is Rei Narukami." Rei answered. "I'm Takeo-Kun's cousin."
The three of them made a skeptical expression, as they looked at the expression on Rei's face. They later looked Shiro jumping on Rei's shoulder, he later mouthed 'It's Takeo-Sama.'
"Take...mph!" Yue called out, but as stopped as Rei placed his hand over her mouth.
"Sorry, but since the tournament I've been hounded by the media and several high school girls." Rei (Takeo) answered. "So, when I'm in this form, can you please call me Rei?"
"Okay, Rei-Kun." Kazumi answered, happily. "Well what'd you expect not only did you put on a fantastic show you also tore off your shirt in front of all those girls."
"By the way, what did you want to talk to us about?" Setsuna asked.
"Well, why don't we go take a stroll around the festival?" Rei asked.
The three of them nodded in agreement, the five of them started traveling around the festival and enjoyed the sights. While they were together he began explaining to them, his current situation involving the Albion Empire.
"The Albion Empire, they're widely known for raising several mages to become skilled and powerful Magic Knight." Rei answered, in a hushed tone. "The Star Commanders being their strongest Mages. Rank 5: Cole 'The Earth Master', Rank: 4 Micah 'The Light Master', Rank: 3, Zephyr 'The Wind Master', Rank 2: Alice 'The Shadow Master' and Rank 1: Indra 'The Lightning Master'.
"Are you really planning on fighting them?" Yue asked.
"Well, I promised that girl I would find out who did it." Rei answered, with a smirk on his face. "I and I did declare that I would bring down the Hammer of Justice."
"And you're taking us with you right?" Setsuna asked.
"Well, even if I said no you guys would still follow me." Rei answered. "Though those guys are slightly weaker than that guy we fought during the Trip to Tokyo."
As they were walking through the festival Rei looked forward and saw a Negi, Kotarou in their teen forms along with, chibi Chisame and Chachamaru dressed as a rabbit.
"Hey guys!" Takeo called out.
"Oh, hey Takeo-San!"
"Yo, Takeo-Nii!"
"Wait, Zero?!"
The three of them called out as they rushed towards them.
"I see you two had the same idea." Rei declared, as he scratched the back of his head. "And since Chi-Chan is here I suppose you told her. Ah, you look so cute as a Chibi you."
"Wait, are you Takeo?" Chisame asked, with a slight blush. "Then that means you actually here Zero? And you're also a Mage? Well that would explain that whole event during your match."
"Yea, by the way? Negi-Kun can I borrow that pocket watch for a while?" Rei asked.
"Uh, yea sure." Negi answered. "By the way can you call me Nagi when I'm in this form?"
Negi reached into his pocket and handed Rei the pocket watch.
"Sure, thing and can you call me Rei?" Rei asked back.
"By the way, I was wondering something." Chisame stated.
"Wonder, wha..." Rei asked.
He was stopped as Chisame through an age changing pill in his mouth and he swallowed it, he was surrounded in a bright light. And was later surrounded in a puff of smoke, once the puff of smoke vanished.
Not only did the illusion spell that turned him into Rei vanished, he was also turned into a ten year old version of himself. And of course his clothing was too big for his current size.
"That wasn't funny." Takeo stated, as he was holding his clothing up.
"Aw, Takeo-Kun you look so adorable." Kazumi announced.
"Well, I guess that means you're the little brother now kid." Kotarou stated, as he petted his head.
"Don't forget Kotarou-Kun, I can still turn you into ash in the wind." Takeo declared as he snapped his finger.
He was surrounded in another puff of smoke, once the smoke vanished he was wearing a dark blue shirt with a thunderbolt insignia, blue jeans and sneakers.
"I'll turn back in an hour, Haruki kept using this prank on me so I found a way to speed up the..." Takeo explained.
"Oh, my god this is priceless!"
"Speak of the devil."
The turned around and saw Chidori, Haruto, Yukiko, Nariko and Haruki behind them.
"Ahahaha, Nii-San you look adorable!" Haruki joked, while Yukiko and Haruto sighed at his comment.
"Aw, this reminds me of how adorable Ta-Chan was." Chidori stated.
Haruki continued laughing, he walked towards Takeo and started patting him on his head like a little kid.
"Haruki, you have ten seconds to stop patting my head." Takeo stated, with an irritated tone.
Haruki removed his hand, but he continued laughing to himself. After they walked around enjoying the festival, while Takeo was still stuck in his child form.
"Ta-Kun, what're you doing after this?" Setsuna asked.
"Ako-Chan, gave me a ticket for her and her band's show." Takeo answered, as he pulled out his ticket. "Well, after I turn back."
He later started hearing Haruki laughing to himself, just as Takeo was about to tell him off he ran into a familiar giant. The Goliath from the Mahora Tournament that Takeo had sent flying.
"Oh, look it's Goliath/Meathead." Takeo, Haruto and Haruki said, with a deadpanned look.
"Tch, no matter what I do I can't seem to get away from that Pretty Boy." Goliath declared, Takeo suddenly gained a tick mark on his forehead. "And now there are five more people who looks like him.
He was referring to Chidori, Nariko, Haruto, Haruki and Takeo (Child Form). He looked down and immediately started glaring at Takeo, without warning he picked Takeo up by his collar.
"I don't like that look you're giving me brat!" Goliath declared.
"And I don't like the smell of your breath." Takeo responded. "Now put me down, before I introduce you to the ground."
Goliath laughed and got up in Takeo's face.
"I like your confidence kid, tell you what I'll give you the first hit." Goliath declared.
"Uh, mister I don't..." Haruto stated, but was silenced by Haruki.
"Don't...let him learn." Haruki responded.
Takeo sighed at the man started laughing at him, he pulled his fist back. He filled his fist with magic energy, he launched his fist forward and landed a blow on the man's cheek. With that attack the giant was sent flying in the air.
"Ta-Chan." Chidori said, with a disapproving look.
"What? He's able to use his Ki, plus he..." Takeo answered, he later started feeling a shift in his body. "Dang it, I have to go...this pills starting to wear off."
Takeo immediately took off using Instant Movement, after a couple minutes he arrived at the site where Dekopin Rocket was playing. He started walking through the halls of the concert building back to normal and wearing his normal clothing.
"I'm so glad that pill wore off, and I'm even more glad I brought spare clothes with me." Takeo stated, with a sigh of relief. "I wonder what song, Ako-Chan, Sakurako-Chan, Madoka-Chan and Misa-Chan can are going to play."
Just as he was lost in thought, someone had ran into him and he head a breaking noise. He looked up and saw Ako on the ground, with her Guitar broken.
"Ah, Ako-Chan are you alright?" Takeo asked.
"Y-yea, but...ah my Guitar!" Ako called out.
"Ako-Chan, what happened?" Madoka asked, as she came rushing over to her. "You're Guitar's busted, come on I think we have time to replace it before the show starts."
