Akira P.o.v
It was the next day I had woke up and went downstairs to make breakfast again however nobody was downstairs I decided to turn on the tv for a while after about 30 minutes and wait till the rest of the crew comes downstairs.
Akira:"Hey everyone how did you sleep?"
Minako:"My sleep was amazing."
Yusuke:"Me too Akira I've felt that I could sketch the beauty in anything."
Morgana:"I slept well but it's still weird being human."
While I was making some eggs and hash browns for breakfast a tv reporter had been talking about a variety of subjects but one had caught my attention.
T.V reporter:"Jacque Schnee had confirmed that two days after he returns to atlas he'll be giving a speech as to what the contents of the speech is we're not sure."
Akira:"I'd hardly call that news worthy."
Minako:"Maybe it's because that bastard is disgustingly rich so people treat him like a celebrity or king so I guess it would be news to them."
Akira*turns the tv off*"Anyway You all can have free time for the whole day today I've got to work on your weapons which Will likely take me all day to modify."
Minako:"I would like to see you modify the weapons."
Akira:"You sure? Cause it's not going to be exciting at all."
Minako:"I'm sure that's what I want. I want to be helpful to you guys." I heard her mumble something among the lines of "Especially you Akira"
Morgana seems to have heard that and shot me a slight smirk Yusuke however didn't hear a thing
Akira:"Well alright then I'll try to blow you away with my craftsman skills."
Yusuke:"Me and Morgana will explore atlas."
Akira:"Alright just make sure you cover up your tail Morgana."
Morgana:"Ok I understand let's go Yusuke."
Minako:"Oh and you two please at least bring a coat with you two it's extremely cold out there."
Yusuke:"Will do."
The two rush upstairs and get dressed in a coat with earmuffs and gloves they take some Lien and they walk out the door Meanwhile Akira and Minako start to have some small talk.
Minako:Oh that reminds me I never gave you your Jacket back.
Akira:"That's right you never did give it back well you don't have to anytime soon besides I've got a few others."
Minako:"I'll return it sometime today."
Akira:"That's fine by me." "Also Extremely cold? I wouldn't say it was that cold."
When he's done with the dishes he washes them by hand.
Akira:"Well let's go to my room then."
Minako:"Alright then why did you do the dishes by hand even though we have a dishwasher."
Akira:"It feels a lot more relaxing to me plus if you want to be technical doing the dishes by hand is an exercise in it's own way."
Minako:"I guess you've got a point there all though you really shouldn't continue to modify our weapons if your hands start to hurt."
Akira:"I know Morgana told me the same thing." "Make sure to pace yourself when crafting." He told me
Minako:"Morgana seems like a good friend."
Akira:"Yeah he is a good friend although he could be a massive pain in the ass sometimes.
Minako:"That description sounds like a friend of mine back in Tatsumi port island minus the thief part."
Akira:"Really?"
Minako:"Yeah he's smart when he wants to otherwise he's a C student he's a bit of a pain in the ass but he's a good and caring guy he was especially protective about me for a while."
Akira:"Is this friend of yours also a magician arcana?"
Minako:"Yeah he was how'd you know that?"
Akira:"I just had a lucky guess ."
Akira:Can you tell me about the seal and the events leading up to you and your brother becoming the seal?
Minako:Sure it'll help pass the time I suppose.
Yusuke and Morgana P.o.v
Yusuke:Alright Morgana let's get a present for Akira."
Morgana:"Yeah let's do it."
Yusuke:"What should we get him?"
Morgana:"I'm not sure we should look around first I think he'd like a plushie."
Yusuke:"Oh there's a series of Grimm plushies."
Morgana;"That's weird aren't the Grimm supposed to be dangerous?"
Yusuke:"Hmmm yes they are but it's not made poorly that's for sure."
Morgana:"Maybe they make these to try and make Grimm less scary if I recall correctly they're attracted to negative emotions."
Yusuke:"That would certainly make sense."
Yusuke:"They've even got art supplies here I know I'll make Akira some paintings."
Morgana:"Well I need to find something I know he'll love."
Akira and Minako were sitting around his room Akira was still working on The naginata meanwhile Akira had listened to Minako as she told him about her Journey.
Minako:"And so that's how my story had ended until you defeated Yaldabouth and Igor came to me about this mission."
Akira stops working on the Naginata and hugs her pulling her into his chest and rubs her back she had let out a few small sniffles.
A lot of the females in the theater had let out some awes
After the hug he goes back to working on the weapons.
Akira:"I see you've gone through so much."
Minako:"Yeah I guess so What about you Akira what was your journey like."
Akira:"It's definitely something that's for sure."
Minako pulls away with a lite blush on her cheeks.
Minako:"You know Akira I don't recall seeing this desk last time I went to your room."
Akira:"Of course you didn't because I came across a secret this house holds."
Minako:"Secret? I love secrets."
Akira:"I also love secrets and I love revealing secrets those secrets even more there's almost nothing better than that but the secret revolves around our cognition."
Minako:"Cognition? {Didn't Mitsuru bring up cognition a few times before} could you perhaps explain what cognition is."
Akira:"Cognition to put quite simply is how we as people perceive the world around us that includes the people around us."
Minako:"Perceive the world around us? Could you give me an example of what you mean."
Akira:"Of course there was this one time we took down a {Bleep} he saw everyone as atm's and he saw his distortion as a floating bank."
Minako had stars in her eyes she was clearly enjoying this.
Minako:"You really took down a {Bleep} thats so cool?!"
Yang:"Why the hell is it bleeped out?"
Curator:"Because it contains spoilers for his journey I'll probably drag you lot back here when I want to bring you back to watch his story why do I have a sense of Deja vu."
Minako:"I see that's certainly interesting."
Akira:"Right well my story starts like this."
As he starts the story the screen turns to black
Morgana:"Remember Yusuke let's not spend too much money they might get suspicious of us."
Yusuke:"Really? Why's that?"
Morgana:"Well had never been seen in atlas until a few days ago we don't have any Id's and we probably have zero proof of our existence besides a surprisingly large amount of people are arrested for spending a suspicious amount of money it's a precaution really just like our code names."
Yusuke:"Akira isn't very hard to please so he'll be pleased with anything you give him."
Morgana:"But there's got to be something he wouldn't like right? *Muttering* Maybe I should get him multiple presents"
Yusuke*Sniffs:"Do you smell that Morgana?
Morgana:"It smells like fish I'm really hungry right now."
Yusuke:"We'll get a snack before we go."
Minako hugs Akira tightly meanwhile Akira himself was trying his hardest to not cry again he didn't want to cry again especially in front of others.
Minako:"I'm glad you're still here so you could be with me and be with your other teammates and so you could save me."
Akira:"I'm glad that I'm still here as well."
Minako:"Y'know Akira did you know what that you're my savior."
Akira looks surprised at the news
Akira:"I am? Really? Did I really save you?"
Minako:"Yeah you did when me and my brother were the seal and you defeated Yaldabaoth that had let one of us go free that person ended up being me at the request of my brother."
Akira:"He wanted you to go free?"
Minako:"Yes he wanted me to leave the seal even knowing that he'll be stuck in the seal."
Akira:"He sounded like a good brother"
Minako:"He was the best brother ever he'd act all apathetic but he was extremely sweet and protective over me."
Akira:"I'm glad you liked him I kind of want to meet him someday."
Minako:"I'm have a feeling you two would get along well. What about your brother did you two get along well"
Akira:"To tell the truth I don't remember much about my family members outside of a few select traits I've got a few memories of them though."
Minako:"Oh yeah? Do you want to tell me some of them."
Akira:"Me and my brother Ren we were a duo of trouble makers we were always connected by the hips like if you saw one of us you'd see the other one right next to the other he's the person I remember most from my family."
Minako:"I see that sounds nice."
Akira:"It was nice although let me tell you the Yard hated us"
Minako:"Really why did the Yard hate you two? And what is the Yard?"
Akira:"I was born in London and the police were called Scotland Yard but we just called them the Yard regardless they hated the two of us because we were trouble makers."
Minako:"I see well you being born in London explains the accent."
Akira:"Yeah my mum was British like me meanwhile my dad was from Japanafornia."
Minako:"Japanafornia?"
Akira:"Yes it's a decently big part of California that mixed there culture with Japanese culture."
Minako:"I see that place sounds interesting."
Akira:"Yeah I bet it is I've never been there though I've thought about going there for years."
Minako:"Really?"
Akira:"Yeah I've thought about trying to find out about my family for years like I said I don't know much about them."
Minako:"I see I don't know anything about my parents I can't even remember what they looked like."
Akira:"Really?"
Minako:"Yeah now with my brother gone I don't have any real family left."
Akira hugs Minako again
Akira:"At least you've got SEES."
Minako:"Yeah you're right but I can't really see them after this unless we're somehow permanently freed from the seal."
Akira:"I'm sorry you two had to go through all that."
Minako:"Thank you but it's alright there's nothing we could do about it besides we both made our choice to become the seal in the first place."
Akira:"I suppose you're right. Alright I had finished everyone's weapon upgrades that was faster than I thought"
Minako:"Let's the upgrades took only three hours almost four."
Akira:"Hmm now what should we do."
Akira:"Hmmm could you help me with something."
Minako:"Alright what is it you need help with finding."
Akira:"I need help finding a children's book."
Minako:"A children's book?"
Akira:"Yeah let's go."
Akira and Minako go inside the closet and after about 30 minutes Minako finds a book with a title in fancy cursive with illustrations that looked like a kid that looks like a 5 year old drew it though Minako couldn't read the books title the man on the cover looked familiar she's definitely seen the white gloves and coat before though she couldn't place her finger on where she saw him from.
Minako:"Is this the book you were looking for?"
Akira:"Yeah it is my mom used to read me this a lot it was one of my favorite books we had."
Minako:"What does the title say……I can't read cursive."
Akira:"The book's title is remnant."
Minako:"Remnant? But that's the name of the planet we're on!?"
Akira:"Yes the book was written by my mum Cereza to cheer me up."
Minako:"What's the book about? And why is the Title written so beautifully but the drawings aren't so beautiful."
Akira:"My mum had been the one who wrote the book but I'm the one who drew the drawings when I was like 3 or 4 of course that's shortly before THAT incident happened. The book was about my mum being sent all the way to another world the titular Remnant to stop the witch of red and black."
Minako:"Do you know if the Remnant in the book is the same as this Remnant."
Akira:"I do believe so let me read the book to you.
Minako:Do you have to Read it to me?
Akira:"It's only a few pages long don't worry besides you can't read her beautiful cursive *Clears his throat*."
For the people in the theater the screen turned Black and White text appeared on the screen
One day a witch was going to see her darling husband when a purple door that no one else could see had appeared in front of her.
And a long nosed entity whisked her away to a world filled with kingdoms filled with Sand,Snow,Tech trade but all of them even the tech paled in comparison to the power of the two witches not even the combined strength of the wizard,lion,tinman and shadows could defeat one of the two witches.
Cereza was supposed to have finally eliminate the witch of black and red origin however She hadn't succeeded and went back to earth she simply couldn't handle the task she had something more important to going on.
The theater's screen had shown a few pictures the first picture is of an extremely Tired Cereza in a hospital bed holding Akira and his identical twin brother shortly after their birth.
Summer:"Ah I relate to her there pushing out Ruby was painful to say the least but I'd say it was worth it."
Taiyang *Grumbles while holding his hand in pain:"You're telling me I thought you were going to turn my hand and bones into dust it still hurts to this day."
Summer just Giggles and everyone feels a shiver go down their spines.
The next picture is a family photo of Akira and Ren when they were 2 years old being held by their mom with smudged Red lipstick kiss marks on their foreheads meanwhile a girl in a red cape and short brown hair was held by the father who had black spiked hair grey eyes and the parents were hugging each other although the daughter had accidentally spilled milk and part of the milk was going to splash on the father who was surprised.
Summer:"They're all so adorable."
Jaune:"I take it that you like kids Mrs. Rose."
Summer:"I absolutely love kids especially when they're little babies I just want to hold and love them and not let go."
Glynda:"So that's what his family looked like before they were killed."
Curator:"Yeah it was."
Akira:"That's the way the story ends."
Minako:"Really? That's it?"
Akira*Nods:"Yeah I loved it especially the pictures it's the only way I could remember the faces of my family."
Minako:"That was quite basic don't you think."
Akira*Nods again:Yeah it's basic and not that good but she made it just to cheer me up so that automatically makes it my favorite book here."
Ruby*Tearing up:"Thats so sweet of him."
Summer:"Yeah It is sweet of him."
Morgana enters the house and they put everything in their rooms.
Akira:"Ah look at the time I'll make something for dinner."
Minako:"Are you sure? You look pretty tired."
Akira:"I do feel a bit tired we should find a place to eat out. Does that sounds good?"
Minako:"Yeah that sounds good we don't want to risk any injury."
The next day Akira and the crew Made the first calling card and would send it out in Friday.
A few days later it's Friday and the thieves send out the calling card.
End of chapter 6
