"Oh my! That's a lot of fun!" Rose laughs cheerfully.
"Next potion!" Elesis shouts.
"Yesterday Elsword was scary, and now Eve…" Rena hides under her blanket.
"You two would be a scary couple," Rose smirks.
"Anyway," Elesis takes navy potion, "What's this one do?"
"Where did you get all these potions?" Aisha asks.
"Rena doesn't give any answer," Rose takes the potion from Elesis, "Just use it!"
"WAIT!"
Youth Potion: You missed your days back as a little kid or teen? Now it's the time! Let's go back to that time for a day!
Eve wakes up to find kids and a teen in their room. "Ah, so you're that old, Rena," Eve smirks at Rena who doesn't change at all.
"S-Shut up!" Rena yells.
Some of the girls are waking up. "Good morning!" Aisha shouts.
Of course, she didn't sleep. She slept for a whole day yesterday.
Lu stretches. "Hm? What the hell?"
"You didn't change as well," Eve smirks, "Old."
Lu crosses her arms. "Hmph! I used to be a beautiful woman, you know?!"
"Good morning!" Ara smiles.
"I still want to sleep," Rose covers herself with her blanket.
"Alright! Time to wake up, girl!" Rena takes Rose's blanket.
"Oh, come on!" Rose groans.
Someone opens the door. "Eve?"
Eve glances. "Elsword?" She gets out from the room and bends down to face him. "What's wrong? Do you have a nightmare?"
"No," Elsword holds his head with his hands and sobs, "I hear voices."
Damn you, Dark El. Eve pats his head. "They're not evil."
"But they're keep telling me to kill you!" Elsword cries.
"Hey, you're a boy. Don't cry," Eve smiles, "They're just lonely. They need someone to talk to, so be nice to them, okay?"
Elsword wipes his tears and stops crying. "Okay!"
Eve walks downstairs with Elsword. "Ain?"
"Good morning, Ms. Queen," Ain greets as he holds the broom. The first floor is clean.
"You're surprisingly... normal," Eve comments.
He folds his arm. "If you can help me handle these emotionally unstable teenagers, that would be great."
Eve looks at the kitchen.
"Pedophile," Raven chuckles.
"Shut up! Do you want to fight?!" Ciel glares at Raven.
"You can just punch me in the first place," Raven smirks, "Pussy."
Ciel takes out his daggers and Raven takes out his blade.
Clank!
Ain closes his eyes as he holds his anger. "If you two wanted to kill each other, do it outside! I just cleaned the house!"
Raven chuckles. "You mad? You can just clean the house for the rest of the day. Productive, right?"
Ain grips the broom tightly and glares at Raven.
"Hey, hey, there's more space on the backyard to fight," Eve suggests as she pushes Raven and Ciel to the backyard, "It would be better."
Slash! Clank! Clank!
"Elsword!" Chung runs toward Elsword. "Let's play!"
"Okay!" Elsword and Chung are about to go to the backyard, but Ain stops them.
"You can't play in there at the moment. Just go to the living room," Ain says. Elsword and Chung nod before going to the living room.
The girls walk downstairs. "Is everything fine?" Rena asks.
"Aisha, Ara, Elesis, you can go to the living room," Eve says. The three of them go to the living room.
Rose rolls her eyes. "Great. You woke me up just for this?"
"Did you bring your gun?" Ain opens the door to the backyard.
"Cool!" Rose runs outside.
"Ain!" Rena, Eve, and Lu glare at him.
"It's not like they're going to kill each other," Ain responds calmly.
Ding!
"Breakfast ready," Ain says as he walks toward the kitchen.
Eve goes to Add's lab. "Add, you can't stay here forever."
Add looks at other side. "I don't care. I'll stay here. I have things to do in my new lab."
Eve pulls Add's hand and drags him to the living room. "Come on. Have your breakfast with the others."
"I don't want to!" Add is trying to free his hand from Eve's grab.
The kids are having breakfast together in the living room. "Add!" Aisha waves her hand.
Meanwhile, people who don't get affected by the potion gather in the kitchen. "O... kay... I need to pay the taxes," Rena forces herself to laugh.
"Take the kids. I'll take care of the scrubs in the backyard," Ain commands.
"Sure," Eve nods, "They'll love playing in the garden."
"That's a good idea!" Rena shouts.
Lu sighs. "I'll stay here because Ciel is here."
"According to my analysis, everyone is back to the time 10 years ago," Eve smiles, "Which means you'll have a hard time handling the three of them."
"No problem," Ain grips his broom, "In case they didn't listen to me, I would smack them with this."
"Hey! No violent!" Rena frowns. "That's cruel!"
"And I already prepared spare brooms in case I broke this broom," Ain continues.
The girls turn to silence. "Really?"
"I suggest you to follow the kids, Demon," Ain looks at Lu, "The kids want you to play with them."
"Hey! I'm not a kid!" Lu yells.
"Oh, come on, Lu!" Rena grabs Lu's hand, "Just come with us!"
"Wait, wait!"
"Now then," Ain looks at the door to the backyard as he holds his broom.
"Kids! Let's go outside!" Rena smiles.
"Yay!"
"No. I'll stay at home," Add walks away.
"Oh, no you don't," Eve takes Add's hand, "You're coming with us, boy."
"No! Outside world is scary!" Add resists, "Let me go!"
"Lu, play with us!" Ara smiles.
"A-Alright, fine! Poor humans asking for help," Lu sighs.
"Yay!"
Ain goes to the backyard with medical kit and the teens' breakfast. "It's only an hour. Tired already?"
"We're hungry," Ciel answers.
"Hey, we should spar more after this!" Raven smiles.
"Sure!" Ciel nods.
Rose takes a look at Ciel's gunblade. "This is a pretty good gun."
Ciel's eyes are sparkling. "I know right?!"
"Now hold it right there, guys," Ain stares at the three, "That's a pretty bad injuries in one hour."
"No problem—ack!" Raven holds his human arm. "I'm fine! Just a little scratch."
Ain smiles creepily as he takes a red bottle from the medical kit. "Ever heard of Tieh Ta Yao Gin?"
The three tilt their head. "What's that?"
"A good medicine," Ain says as he takes care of the injuries, starting from Raven.
The scream of pain of using the medicine can be heard in the entire house.
"Tag, you're it!"
"Run! Run for your life!"
After they pay the taxes, they're going to the garden. The kids are playing tag.
Except Add.
"Join them, Add. It's fine," Eve pats Add's head.
Add shakes his head. "I don't understand the logic of this game. Why don't you kill or disable the tagger? It would be a good end."
Eve forces herself to laugh. Don't think about it! Just play!
"So what are you doing here, Add?" Lu narrows her eyes.
"I want to go home," Add mutters.
"Add!" Ara approaches him. "Come on! Let's play!"
"No."
The others approach him. "What do you want to play? We can play together!" Chung smiles.
"Research would be better," Add murmurs.
Everyone turns to silence. Rena sighs. "Um... Add? We can do something that is fun—"
"Okay! Let's do it!" Elsword smiles cheerfully, "So what should we do?"
"I want to know the reason townspeople can still enjoying their life even though demons are invading," Add answers. They won't do it. They don't understand.
"Okay!" Elsword nods, making Add surprised.
"We can use my book to write something!" Aisha rips the paper from her notebook. She gives paper and pencil to her friends, "I also have pencils!"
"Thanks, Aisha! I'm going to ask people in there!" Elsword runs to the way he pointed.
"I'll come with you!" Elesis follows him.
"W-Wait, you two!" Rena quickly follows the siblings.
"Alright! We'll help Add!" Chung nods, "Let's go that way!" he runs to the opposite way of Elsword.
"Let's go!" Aisha follows Chung.
"Goddammit, kids!" Lu quickly follows Aisha and Chung.
Eve giggles. "They want you to join them anyway."
Add stays silent as he stares at the paper in his hand.
"Should we go?" Ara smiles.
Eve nods. "Let's go!"
"Are we slaves now? Can we ask for the others' help?"
"You don't involve the kids in carrying stuffs."
"Pleaaase?"
After paying the taxes for the last time, the remaining people at home have to carry the stuffs to move to another town.
"Eve or Rena could help us with this!" Rose yells.
"Stop whining, you weak little girl," Raven chuckles.
Rose glares at Raven. "Hey! This is like robbing a bank!"
"So?" Raven smirks, "Excuses!"
Ciel groans. "For f-ck sake, Raven, stop talking."
Raven narrows his eyes. "You mad? I thought you only love Lu."
Ciel stomps his foot. "Hey—"
"I don't mind if you guys want to stop to fight first," Ain smiles, "I still have that medicine."
Suddenly the three of them stop talking.
"I hate you," Rose says to Raven.
Raven rolls his eyes. "Lalala don't care."
Late afternoon…
"Thanks for carrying our stuffs, guys!" Rena smiles.
"Yeah. You better be thankful," Raven replies.
"That's not how you speak to someone older than you," Ciel hits Raven's arm with his elbow.
"Who cares?" Raven smirks, "It's not like older people always respect younger people."
Rena smiles creepily. "Raven, promise me you won't speak like that to other people."
Raven startles at the sudden killing aura. "I-I can't promise, but I'll try."
Rose laughs at Raven. "You lose? Just like that?"
"Rose, be a good girl," Rena winks.
Rose startles. What's with that deadly wink?! "Y-Yes, ma'am!"
Rena and Eve help carrying the stuffs. Rose approaches Add. "You had fun, Add?" Rose asks.
"I did," Add smiles as he looks at the papers on his hand. "By the way, there should be a group of demons ahead."
"What?!"
Suddenly they can see a group of demons coming to them. "Rena, take care of the kids," Eve says as she puts the stuffs on the ground and gets ready for battle.
"I-I can help too!" Elesis shouts.
Rena shakes her head. "Stay here, okay?"
"Alright, Add! Be a good boy and stay there," Rose smirks as she prepares her gun, "We'll take care of this!"
"Ciel, Rose, let's see who killed the most demons!" Raven shouts.
"But I'm with Lu," Ciel says as Lu approaches him.
"Of course it's going to be me!" Rose laughs.
"Count us in!" Eve smiles as she stands beside Ain.
"Hey, don't bring me," Ain responds.
They're fighting the demons while the kids and Rena are just watching at them. "Rena, hold this for me," Add gives the papers to Rena before dashing to the battle.
"Add, wait!"
"Add, what are you doing?!" Rose shouts as she clears the way for Add.
"I might not be able to fight the demons, but I can help," Add smiles.
Pink glass shatters in space and a sound of bell can be heard. "Ah! This thing!" Rose shoots one of the demons.
Bong!
The damage from Rose's bullets is better than usual. "I love this thing!"
"Alright! This should be easy!" Raven smirks as he slashes the demons.
"I want to help too!" Aisha shouts as she swings her staff. "Magical make-up!"
Aisha turns into teenager. "Prepare yourself, demons, 'cause Magical Girl Aisha is coming!" she dashes into the demons.
Rena crosses her arms. "The rest stay here, okay? I'll protect you!"
They finally arrive at the new home at night. Everyone is tired.
"I want to sleep!" Chung yawns.
"Sleep, guys! We can have a good day tomorrow!" Lu shouts.
In the end, nobody is going to sleep until midnight. Everyone is back to their normal self.
"Now I demand an explanation," Ciel glares at Raven, "What's with your attitude?"
Raven chuckles. "Okay, I'm sorry. I really wanted to do that when I was a kid."
Rose lifts her one eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"I spent my childhood training so I won't get beaten," Raven smiles, "For my family's name. They adopted me anyway."
Rose nods. "I understand! I also spend my childhood training to use guns!"
Ciel sighs. "So the three of us spent the childhood training?"
"Cool!" Rose laughs. "We can relate ourselves to each other!" Rose makes a heroic pose, "We were protecting ourselves in order to keep living as a kid!"
Lu opens the door to the backyard. Raven, Ciel, and Rose are training together. "It's rare to see the three of you together," Lu comments.
"We have reasons," Ciel answers.
"Yeah," Raven nods, "We have to get better at dodging attack."
Lu tilts her head. "And why is that?"
"Reasons," the three of them answer simultaneously. No more 'that' medicine!
In the living room…
"Add is out from his room for once!" Elsword shouts as he points Add who's hiding something behind him. "How's the new lab?"
"That's rare," Ara comments.
"What's wrong?" Eve asks.
Add stays silent. It seems that he's trying to arrange the right words.
"Come on! Just say it!" Chung smiles.
Add shows the paper that he holds. "Can I ask for help?"
"More research!" Elsword eyes sparkle, "Sure!"
"You can ask us anytime!" Aisha grins.
"Yeah. Don't hesitate, Add," Rena winks.
For the first time, they see Add's normal smile. "Thanks."
Special thanks to Ragna0011 and Zefyr (Zefyr is from other sites~ I don't know if this guy is here tho)
About Tieh Ta Yao Gin... that's a super effective medicine for injuries, but the moment it touches your injury, it hurts like hell (that's what my friends told me)
Btw, about that Ain with broom thing... my friend's mom smacked him using a broom when he was little until the broom broke, then her mom get a new broom and smacked him again. Poor friend XD
