POV Narrator:
A long car trip ahead, with Akko and Diana going to Edinburgh after Kagari graduated and this time she would be able to be freer, already staying at her girlfriend's house, taking a very considerable time on the road, even though the Scottish girl sped up a little on some routes, it was enough for them to arrive at around 11 o'clock at night, since they had some stops in the middle of the way, which was tiring them a lot along the way, until they reached the Cavendish residence.
POV Akko:
What a sleep, my ass is already getting square from so much having to stay in the car seat, at least we are arriving, I can feel it, it was a long time since I didn't make a trip like this by car, I miss doing this with my parents, talking, listening to music, also when there was the one with Chariot, it's always one more adventure.
We finally arrive, Diana parks the car, I open the door and stand up relieved, my ass was already hurting from sitting here, I was already feeling my bones from so long I've been in this seat.
"Ahhhh finally, I never imagined that we would be travelling for so long" I say relieved.
"Well at least it was fun on the way, we had our first trip together love" said my girlfriend.
"I agree, you drove well de whole way, Diana, you've been learning how to drive" said Mrs McLaren.
"Well let's take the bags to the room, we still have a lot to do now that everything is over" I say cheerfully.
"I will help you" said my mother-in-law.
And there we went, taking the remaining bags out of the car, it was even emptier, since before with Hannah and Barbara's things it took up a huge space inside the boot, it was enough for the three of us to get all the bags that had my stuff, they were really heavy, imagine how hellish it would be to fly on a broomstick with all that stuff, it would take as long as I would take on a car trip,or at least a little less, even so it would be too uncomfortable,
We get inside the house and I'm already feeling comfortable seeing Diana's huge house, we walk to her room, now here always gives me a feeling of comfort, because what a wonderful place, I left the bags in the room and now we are home safe
"Well now we have arrived" said Mrs McLaren.
"Welcome tae yer home my love, let's make the most of the time here" she said and then hugged and kissed me.
"Let's eat a bit, since we are hungry 'ere" Laura said and I have been feeling a bit hungry too.
"Mum, ye and Akko have a hole in yer stomach, ye never seem tae be satisfied, this way ye'll soon run out of food at home" Diana said.
"Wait until you get pregnant, den you will see what is real eating, Bernadette did not stop eating for even a second when she was pregnant of you" said my mother-in-law laughing and so did I.
And we went towards the kitchen after leaving the bags in the room, tomorrow we'll worry about packing the rest of the stuff, and there we go, I've been sitting all day on a car seat and I'm going back again to sit this time on a chair.
"And what are we going tae eat now? It's already eleven thirty at night, Mum" asks my girlfriend.
"Well, just eat something light, I'll leave some cold cuts and some bread on de table, you can serve yourselves, since we stayed a long time without eating on de way" Laura said and I think it's time to serve yourselves.
I was already getting some bread and putting ham and cheese inside, just like I was letting it warm in a sandwich machine, Diana was doing the same thing, the two of us together having the same idea, but Mrs. McLaren was eating cold. Soon the sandwich maker beeps, I take out the snacks, give one to Diana and the other one I take for myself, I take advantage of it and put some barbecue sauce, because it is delicious this way.
"Hmmmmmm, have you tried it like this love?" I ask her.
"With Barbecue? I never tried it, this is the kind of thing my mother likes, she usually puts it in a lot of things she eats, I dinnae understand why they like it sae much, it's kind of sweet, I dinnae know" said my Diana.
I was eating to fill up a little, because honestly, I'm really hungry, after this trip, I want to satiate myself, to sleep full for tomorrow, it will be the first different day in my life, it's kind of strange, now I'm not a student anymore, I can sleep and wake up whenever I want, but I need to think soon in some plan of what to do from now on, even if I spend a sabbatical year, I still have to think how to spend this year, there's the witches revolution and the ShinyAkko, there are many things.
I finish eating and already satisfied, I think I won't exaggerate so much, I think I'm missing something that I've been admiring a lot all the way, I even get up from the chair, stretching my back, because I'm really tired.
"I think I have eaten for the day" Akko said.
"Did ye really eat Akko? Or are ye missing dessert?" Diana said with a mischievous look on my face.
"Are you girls serious, right in front of my salad?" said my mother-in-law and we both burst out laughing.
"Good evening Mrs McLaren" I say to her who just rolls her eyes.
"Your night is going to be a long one by de way, good night girls, I dedn't even imagine I would be a grandmother so soon" she said still mocking both of us.
"Mum! -Said my girlfriend embarrassed.
And we both walked to the bedroom, sort of enjoying and kissing on the way, we opened the door and I already use my magic to throw Diana on the bed, she stares at me with that penetrating look of hers, which provokes me, I go towards Diana staring at her, biting my lips and I already know what's coming next.
"That's right Akko, it's time fae ye tae enjoy dessert" She said as she went stroking my face.
"I didn't know cabbage was so good as dessert" I say laughing and already running my hand inside Diana's t-shirt.
"This cabbage here will sweeten yer meal a lot," said my girlfriend.
When the day dawns
Wow what a bizarre dream, we were fighting with locks against the boss, I remember something very familiar from her face, it was the hair combed back, but the rest I completely forgot, I look at the ceiling and see that it's the top of the bed in Diana's room, I look to the side and see my Cavendish, she is opening her eyes as she notices that I woke up.
"Good morning love, ye're up early today" she said nudging my nose.
"Good morning, then it's not really a dream that I'm here in front of you and neither is being here without clothes" I say as I realise that we slept without clothes with the blanket over our bodies.
"And it's nae a dream silly, ye really are here at home, I thought the same thing, but now I realize, how about we continue what we started at night?" She said as she started to squeeze my chest.
"I just woke up love, ahhhh" I tell her half sleepy.
"Heh, I know, me too, I think we'd better go and have a relaxing bath" said my Cavendish.
She got up from the bed and I could see that she has some very intense bite marks on her ass, I think I exaggerated a little bit, I get up from the bed, still tired, and follow Diana, I take advantage and surprise her by biting her on the shoulder, and she gives a little moan of pain.
"Looks like someone woke up, dinnae it" said my girlfriend.
"I am more than awake" I say with a mischievous little smile.
We turn on the shower together, exchanging kisses, letting the water fall over our bodies, wetting everything from head to toe, while we stay close to each other, this is really good to feel, I wish all my days were like
this, it's wonderful, I'm already feeling my soul being washed after all that day I had in Luna Nova, I think I deserved a good shower to get smelly.
After the long shower, already in the kitchen of the house...
I am smelling a good smell of pancakes, Mrs McLaren must be making them for breakfast and I could tell there was practically a mountain on the table already, I was about to arrive and she already looks at us both with a smile on her face.
"Good morning doves, looks like you had quite a night" said my mother-in-law.
"It was the usual mum, I was missingAkko, ye have nae idea" Diana said scratching the back of her head.
"I do and a lot of idea, I had to use a spell to inhibit de sounds because I was listening from my room, you could be quieter, you don't have to make de whole house listen, but I understand, my parents also complained like dat with Bernadette, it seems dat nothing has changed, by de way... Diana your neck is full of marks, Akko is a vampire by de way" Mrs. McLaren said while I blushed a little.
"That was from now, she thinks I'm food tae bite me like this nae that I dinnae like it, I think it's wonderful" Said my little cabbage.
"Ah you woke up in de best way, lucky I was already 'ere preparing your breakfast, but it looks like you ate a lot before dat" Laura said and I blushed a bit.
"Mum!" Diana said blushing and I burst out laughing when my girlfriend gives in like that.
I was just eating the pancakes, enjoying the taste, made by my mother-in-law, who also sat with us, it was another family moment, I don't think I talk to the people from Luna Nova since we arrived, I've just been focusing a lot on Diana and staying the time with her, who soon gets a pancake, taking a piece and giving it to me in my mouth, what a cute thing.
"Cuties, it makes me nostalgic to see you like dis" said my mother-in-law.
"We have to enjoy it mum" said my little cabbage.
"And you are right, enjoy your time with Akko very much, you two remind me of when I was younger, it was just like dat with Bernadette, those were undoubtedly wonderful adventures, I won't forget a moment with 'er" Mrs McLaren said looking up.
"I wish I could meet her" I say to both of them.
"Ye would love it, she would also love tae meet ye Akko, though on my 17th birthday it was almost that, but if she met ye when she was alive, nae doubt it would be something else, she would certainly love yer presence" said my girlfriend.
"And as I was going, it is something dat comes to be historical, a Cavendish with a Japanese, it is something dat is happening for de first time in many millennia, I think of de main lineage is something dat has never happened, you are de first, not to mention dat Akko is an amazing girl and battler, something dat Bernadette always admires, she would be an incredible force in de revolution of de witches, in helping us, for sure" Said Laura.
I imagine it would be wonderful, I would love to meet Bernadette, the way they always talk about her, she must be a wonderful person, I even eat some more and give it to Diana's mouth, it's very good to do that all the time, she looks like a baby so cute, always opening to receive more, don't think about that Akko, don't think about other things, that was last night, forget it, better to think about cute things, that's what's good.
I finish eating and I am already well satisfied, I think that's it for today, my body needs rest after this trip, I see that Diana is also tired of eating, just like Mrs. McLaren.
"So Akko, what's next after graduation, 'ave you decided what you're going to do?" Laura asks.
"ShinyAkko, that's my goal, to make some performances as amazing as Chariot's" I tell her all motivated.
"That's great, a Shiny Chariot revival, it could be a very good tribute, you can be sure dat we'll help you a lot in dis, I'll even give you financial support if you need it, besides it will be a vital part to consecrate de witches' revolution, but before dat, try to plan everything very well, Take advantage and do like Diana, she will take a
year and a half sabbatical to focus on the Witches' Revolution, and I hope dat by 2022 this pandemic ding is over, because I can't stand it anymore, it was hard to take care of Diana like dis, she got really weak" said my mother-in-law.
"Sabbatical year, I've come to think of that too, I don't think I can do presentations with the witches thinking of me what they think of Shiny Chariot, but now... How do we do this Laura? It's a long road ahead" I tell her who nods in agreement.
"We have to find out de identity of de boss, dat Hellene is already working on, but we have something we are going to do here, find de Fluit An Neart, get it back, and also find de third relic of de triskellion of Lilith, if we free it, we will be able to complete it and dis way have a huge magical power in hands" Said Mrs McLaren.
"The broom they call de shooting star, she's at The Last Wednesday, why don't we buy 'er from Chum?" Diana said.
"Wait is she dat close? Why dedn't you tell me before?" Laura said.
"You never asked and I didn't even know she was one of those, I was even thinking of stealing it so I could win the 2017 broom relay, but I couldn't, I remember Amanda tried, then Chum went to complain to me that it was stolen, until we found out that in reality the broom just ran away, as soon as Amanda tried to take it, which is now in high demand, Chum said he would pay a fat reward if any of us found it" I explain to them.
"So de broom is loose in de world? It's going to be impossible to find, dis ding is conscious and on top of dat it will only allow being ridden by a chosen witch, I hope it comes to you again Akko, but anyway, we will also 'ave to train magic, dis time it will be a heavier training, you already trained with me a lot and you know how it was last year against Daryl, but now it will be a bigger threat, de boss, we will train starting tomorrow and it won't be only you, I will also train, get back in shape, I dink I'm too full, I don't want to stay behind and not let de boss do any harm to Hellene, besides dat you will also test the mechas we are making" said my mother-in-law.
"Ah the ones Croix made escaping from prison" Diana said.
"I made sure to also call Constanze for dis as well, if you don't want to use de locks made by Croix, go for de ones Constanze made, in fact dey are about to put de finishing touches, our focus is on defeating de biggest enemy witches 'ave ever had throughout history, far bigger dan any witch hunter, dan any law, our biggest enemy, it's in our noses, it's de witches themselves" And that I've been noticing as well.
"Sae let's do it, I want tae defeat them, I just hope we can, ye lost a whole generation, the boss got rid of most of her friends, imagine what she can do tae us" said my girlfriend.
"I recognize dat, but being honest, you're already de boss's target, dere's no way to avoid being one, just give up de revolution and she'll stop attacking you, dat's what she wants from you, dat you give up and den she'll come back to you with 'er demands and den you'll lower your heads, until you can't be witches, until you're mere machines, and dat will only continue until magic dies, she's against technology, but she's turning you into robots, it's very ironic dat, but I'm sure de reason is not any preservation of tradition" said my mother in law
"What else would it be besides that?" Asks my little cabbage patch.
"Power, money, control, de boss has control over what de witches' council dinks, she earns money from everywhere, for sure she must earn even from de government dat is evidently against witches and big companies dat see dis boss as a way of not allowing our advance, because dey know dat we might be able to break de power of dese big people, our union can guarantee humanity a dignity dat it dedn't 'ave before, people will be able to like... eat without having to worry if dey are going to eat de next day or not, we witches can provide dat, dey will be able to 'ave basic dings without having to kill themselves working for it, dey will be able to work and be rewarded for deir effort and not like dey are passing over people who really make an effort while dey do nothing, We are a threat to de system, dat's why de boss is valuable to dem, besides de feeling of power, she 'as de most influential witches in 'er hands, I don't doubt it, even Holbrook herself must be in de hands of dis boss, dat's why she has always been so de way we know her to be" Mrs. McLaren said.
"It makes sense mum, these are the words in yer book by the way" Diana said.
"Aye, I never tire of saying dat magic will die if dey continue like this, tradition does not walk alone, it has to walk with modernity and magic has to change or else we will be just a history dat will be erased, anyway, enjoy dis day off, tomorrow de hard work will begin" said my mother-in-law to us.
We agreed with our heads, we left the kitchen, since we ate everything, I was even full, we walked to the living room, Diana turned on her Nintendo Switch, I took the time to check some messages and I was happy to see some that were sent, including from my parents, they must be asleep by now, but they congratulated me for the graduation, I have the biggest smile on my face, oh, mum is awake, I think I'll call her.
"Akko! Congratulations daughter! You have finally graduated, I wish you all the best" said my mother.
"I miss you guys" I tell her.
"We were also very sorry, how are you there? Diana takes good care of you?" I get all emotional.
"She does, Mrs McLaren has been behaving herself, don't worry Mum, Diana will look after her so she doesn't behave any differently hahaha" I tell her and she laughs.
"Oh good, your father and I will be anxiously waiting for the end of this pandemic soon, we can't wait to see you both here in Japan, stay well my dear, mommy has to sleep now because she has to work early tomorrow morning, but I am happy to talk to you" I am too, I missed it.
"Bye mommy, tell that I sent a hug for daddy and also for Keiko" I tell her who then hangs up the call and I get all heart full.
Then I see Diana smiling to me, giving me a caress on my head, she hands me a pro controller and now the fun is going to start, she puts a Mario Kart 8 for us to play, while Mrs McLaren is tidying up the house, I see that she finished most of the championships, so much that she was already on the 150 cc.
"I played this here a lot with my mother, ye have nae idea how addicted she is, I can count on my fingers the times I beat her in the race" said my girlfriend.
"Now let's see how many you get from me heh" I say very confidently.
"Did I hear Mario Kart?" said Mrs McLaren with a tea towel in hand.
"The addict has arrived" said my little cabbage.
"I am here, when I finish tidying up de kitchen I want to play with you, get ready because I am good at dis" said my mother-in-law.
"Mum ye literally made games" Diana said.
"I will do one last with de girls who are already in de final stages and den I will retire from dis, don't exaggerate Diana, I only test once in a while and I am from de NES and Atari times, in dat era de games were unforgiving, they were short, but we had to try very, very hard to win" Laura said.
"Did ye have video games back then?" said Diana mocking her mother.
"Call me old, one day age will come to you too Diana, you are 18 years old now, you are full of yourself, but soon you will be 48 and you will know what age is" said Mrs. McLaren, who was leaving the room after hitting her daughter on the head with a tea towel and I was just laughing.
We were playing and it makes me nostalgic to play here on the Switch, it reminds me of when Diana was in Luna Nova, or before the pandemic when everyone gathered to play, it was very good to spend time like this, it brings back good memories, we would play all day long, and when we had free days without studying, they were the best, I saw it as a reward for dedicating myself a lot, now here with Diana, it is also very good.
"Remember when we were in Luna Nova? That's exactly what it was" said my Diana.
"And how I remember, it was wonderful, I miss those times, though new times are ahead" I say as I walk past Diana and smile.
"It was nice while it lasted, we enjoyed the best three years we could have, ye brought things I never thought I would do in Luna Nova, play video games there? I wouldn't even consider it, I'd probably spend the time
there and come back here, only tae fail the family leader ritual and" said my girlfriend until my mother-in-law comes.
"Probably Daryl, Maril and Merrill would die, dey wouldn't pass de heart test, besides dat dey interfered with de ritual, thanks toAkko's presence at least deir cousins are alive today and following each one in deir own way, Merrill actually keeps talking to me, she said dat she is doing very well in Australia and dat dere it doesn't even seem dat de pandemic happened because dey are isolating demselves, as for Maril, she doesn't 'ave a contact, we don't know 'er real whereabouts" Laura said while she was wiping a dish.
"It's shocking tae know how important ye were tae us Akko, thank ye fae existing love" She said hugging me and I went over to hug her back after the race was over.
"Fate always does dat, brings someone like Akko into our lives" Mrs McLaren said afterwards, leaving the room with her plate in hand.
I really hope things get better, they talk so much about me, how I changed their lives, but they also changed my life, I could meet wonderful people, I'm not the same Akko as before, even though I still follow what Chariot believes, it's different, I don't know, well anyway, I'll enjoy the moment, soon my mother-in-law will arrive and she will kick our asses in Mario Kart and I can already imagine how tense it will be to play against her.
POV Narrator:
Far away from there in an unknown place, there was the chief, she took the three Jade stones and stood looking at the ceiling, she started to use a spell on herself, where she was combining herself with the stones, rejuvenating herself, the greenish lights surrounded her, she kept seeing herself in the mirror and commorating, getting the age she wished for.
The lights dissipate and the boss stops floating, the results were done, she became young again and as there were 3 jade stones she also became immortal, with the impossibility of aging.
"Magnificent, perfect, now I'm ready, the time to reveal myself to the world will come, but it's not time to show my face like this, I look beautiful, but I need to hide myself" Said the boss looking at herself in the mirror and then using a spell to get back the aged appearance on her face.
She went on to get the wrinkles back on her face and neck, pretty much in the same state as before, smiling at the mirror as she was left with a power she had always wished to achieve, then stares in awe at the Fluit An Neart that was right in front of her, which she intended to keep there.
"This little thing will never be found and caught, you can try today, you can try tomorrow, you won't succeed, now that I am immortal I will be able to reign for this world, I will bring the glory that Jennifer wanted to achieve for magic, we will live a new golden age of magic" Said the boss looking at a portrait of Jennifer.
Then hitting with darts the pictures of the girls from Luna Nova which she was leaving on the wall, already looking with a huge smile on her face, focusing mainly on Laura's face which she was continuing to throw darts.
"Now you and your revolutionary efforts will come to an end Laura McLaren, those girls of yours will pay dearly, you still haven't learned your lesson, you can't mess with me, I'm the one in charge here, hahahaha, well it's time to start contacting someone else too" said the boss.
And there she went picking up one of the many disposable phones she kept in her drawers, looking with a smile on her face at a picture of Jennifer, intending to restore her greatness, until the caller answered.
"What do you want?" asks a half-masculine voice.
"Fafnir do you want to receive another proposal of greatness? I know you've bumped heads with the mermaid-like girls and they've run away from your diamond mines on the Rastavan River, but I have a proposal that will make you richer than Smaug" said the boss.
"And what will it be this time? You know that last time it didn't work out so well, in the end the girl allied herself with the one you didn't want her to pass and that girl still passed and today she is a graduate witch" said the dragon.
"In a few days I will begin the onslaught against the revolutionary witches, you can earn billions with this, let's take advantage to raise a lot and bring back the golden age of magic, you have already earned a lot of money with Jennifer, you will have the opportunity to earn with me too" Said the boss.
"I prefer not to get involved with your madness, I am safe in my place, do it yourself" said Fafnir.
"Oh Fafnir, you don't intend to do that, you know I don't like to be contradicted, you will profit a lot yet, I'm talking about the witches' workmanship, for a profitable business, we will overthrow the big companies and do business with magic, You will be able to exploit at will the mundane and low level witches' labour for your profit, you will make more money than those shares of yours that barely let you reach a few million, think with me Fafnir, you will be much more than those diamonds of yours, more than everything, you will still have the power" said the boss.
"Your action could destroy my fortune, you know that and by the way, I already told you, you should have got rid of those girls soon, instead of just playing, one day they will come back against you and even against me and we won't be able to hold them, you are only giving them fuel" said the dragon.
"I don't give a shit, this is part of the psychological torture, it is not possible that a group of brats led by a redheaded idiot who was once a brat will manage to overthrow an empire, I have a huge magical power and also a defense that they don't even imagine that I have, everyone around me supports me, if someone tries to contradict me he knows that he is making a bad decision, goodbye Fafnir, I want answers soon, your alliance would be very beneficial to me" Said the boss hanging up the phone.
She then breaks the electronic device and makes it compacted like a cube until she throws it into a bin and gets her hands together anxious to start another part of the plan, having rejuvenated herself.
Akko has arrived at her new home, with all the affection in the world she was welcomed to the Cavendish house, both by Laura and by her girlfriend Diana, where they will already start there the effort to start the witches' revolution, which will be a long journey to change things in the world, only that the eminent danger of the boss may be a matter of time and the witch is not for games, she has come to cause a threat for which the girls will have to be prepared for what is yet to come.
See you, Cavendish witches...
