Music - Flos


Fael: Pleasebetherightschool,Pleasebetherightschool,Pleasebetherightschool...**opens eyes**

Fael: YES!!!


Mana: Oh, M-Mister Fael... (I'm feeling weird again...)

Fael: Err...Hi Mana...

Uni: We've been waiting.

Masaki: How was it?

Fael: Not very smooth, but not bad either...we did it.

Fael: By the way...a red mech appeared...

Masaki: I know...
Fael: Oh...

Winter District


Hugh: I'll go first! I have good experiences with this! WOOO!!! **Hugh enters first.**

Thomas: Well, i'll be the next then... **Enters the portal.**

Kael: I'm used to them... **enter the portal.**

Marie: W-Well...H-Here i come... **slowly enters the portal.**

Once they reached on the other side, Hugh and Thomas started to gag.


Hugh: URGH...I'm about to throw up...

Thomas: My stomach feels...cramped...

Kael: Figures...

Maria: Okay...Limbs here...head here...glasses undamaged...i'm fine...

Uni: Welcome back guys!

Kael: Thanks! Now to wait for the others...

[MagusDream]

School: Front Gate


Giovanni: And back to the school!

Necrox: Am I the only one feeling a little dizzy...?

Lilly: My head hurts a little.

Anna came down towards the gate to receive them.


Anna: Oh, you all came back safely. I am glad.

Giovanni: Yeah... (I won't lie though, I never thought that portals were so complicated...)

Anna: Now, please head to the classroom. Miss Satori seems to be in a mood to give detentions.

Giovanni: She seems kinda hard to work with. Am I right, Necrox?

But as soon as he asked, both Necrox and Lilly were completely gone.


Giovanni: They were fast.

Near Summer Lydian School

Despite her efforts, Orie was almost being overwhelmed by Gloria. Even Tanatos wasn't able to defeat the maid.


Orie: Haaah... haaaah...

Gloria: Will you give up?

Orie: Never...!! I will never...!!

Gloria: Then, you will die.

Suddenly, Gloria had to evade before she could dash and pierce Orie. Almost 100 bullets had hit her.


Gloria: You.

Orie: Huh?

When Orie looked, Azrel and Jinheki were right behind her. He was pointing his gun at Gloria.


Azrel: Bullying isn't cool, you know.

Gloria: Rebels like you should be exterminated at once. But consider yourself safe for now. I can't have too many witnesses...

Azrel: Whatever... I never asked for you to be lenient with me.

Jinheki: (You surely are a daredevil...)

Gloria: I shall leave by now, but mark my words, you two. I will get my hands on the Insulator and you will not stop me.

Azrel: Stealing properties isn't cool too. Should you ever come, you'll receive a welcome from me.

Gloria: ...

She disappeared. Jinheki gave his hand to Orie so she could get up. She took it and rose back to her normal stand, while facing Azrel.


Orie: Who... are you...?

Azrel: ... Automatic Nerve.

Orie: Huh?

Azrel: Go find it. Make sure you tell to her about the Red Actor.

Orie: (Red Actor... how does he know about that?)

Azrel: Let's go, Jinheki. We have some bounties today.

Jinheki: Sheesh...

Music - Prologue


Fael: But how? I don't think we spent a whole 20 minutes in that portal stunt!

Akina: Exactly! I suggested portals for a reason after all!

Thomas: Maybe it is an in-joke?

Marie: Well, Miss Satori is a little scary, so it's no wonder they just suddenly vanished.

Hugh: Reading minds of course.

Thomas: Empty mind...

Hugh: Huh?
Thomas: It's is easy to do so in battle, as your focus is just your oponents, but when your battle instincts are dormant...

Kael: You know exactly what to think and not what to think....and your body will do the rest.

Hugh: Stop guys, you're talking as if you two are battle hardened soldiers...

Akina: But you know Hugh, i think they kinda are! (I mean, one is a Dimensional Fighter like me and the others is...)

Fael: A hunter.

Hugh: Gah...
Fael: Anyway, i'll see what i can get in the cafeteria before.

Akina: Following you~!

Marie: I'll be returning Zetta to the library.
Zetta: ....

Thomas: Me and Kael will be returning to class.

Hugh: Ah...Whatever...

Mana: H-Have a nice da-

Fael: You're coming too.

Mana: Wha-

Masaki: Hey, we kinda need her for the pa-

Uni: Have a nice day guys!

Masaki: Uni...

Uni: It's been bugging me for a while, she said that she somehow get's weird when Fael is close...

Masaki: Y-Yeah...Now that you mention it.

World Crossers Guild - Underground Hangar


Hwang: ...
Lyzer: Interesting right?

Hwang: Not in the slightest...you're creating weapons of war.
Lyzer: You think?

Hwang: ...
Lyzer: I just create things...that people should use to defend themselves...those who are prepared to fight...you see, this city has an...interesting history...there was once a civil war that nearly...no...completely destroyed this place.

Hwang: Civil War?
Lyzer: Yes...i was still a young girl back then. I lived in Okimara, who was also hit by those civil wars.

Hwang: Then...you...
Lyzer: So, if you claim that these are tools of war...i won't deny...It doesn't matter to fight over it. What am i creating is not swords, but shields. No matter if it is a war or just a stupid fight between kids...such useless black and white reasons does not interest me.

Hwang: A shield...Well, i guess i misjudged you Miss Lyzer, while you look to have an unhealthy obseesion for them, you really mean well.
Lyzer: Hey hey, should you really say that so easily? I could be lieing you know?

Hwang: Yeah, i think i should know better than to praise people blindly!

Both starts to laugh.

Lyzer: Just kidding, anyway, you should explore the city, it would be good to know the routes that your robot can pass through easily, i didn't had time to suggest that to Masaki and Mio.

Hwang: Alright, i'll do it.

Summer Lydian School - Corridors

Student looking through a window: ...

Barry: You! Report now!
Student?: R-Right...A weird woman appeared in this school, and she was fighting someone that looked like Miss Harada.

Barry: (Harada...huh?)
Student?: That's all, i don't know what the mysterious woman was after in here.

Barry: I see, thanks for your cooperation.
Student?: Sir!

???: Hey hey, yer employing students to do spy work?

Barry: That was not a common student, he is also a soldier, just like me, with the same age, and he is not afraid to do his best to make this city a better place. You were a kid too, during the civil war if i'm not mistaking.

???: Hehehehe! You got me there...but man! You're ruthless just like your grandpa and pa!

Barry: If i wasn't, the name Gray Togami wouldn't have meaning...or rather, my rank wouldn't have meaning at all...Grant Maxwell Black.

Grant: Calling me by my full name again...You really have no respect brat!

Barry: Call it what you want.

Grant: Well, after we that great meeting with my friend Genjuro, i'm almost feeling like visiting my son...but i don't think the brat would happy to-

Barry: Oh, i bet he would, why don't you go there and see?

Grant: If you say so. It's farewell then, Togami Brat.

Barry: Hmph...

**Phone rings**


Barry: It's me...What? A prision break?

Mio: Yeah, the wardens are fight the fugitives right now.

Barry: Hey hey, that place was supposed to be unscapable...

Mio: Well, it still is...mostly because of saida wardens.

Barry: Mio...prepare my helicopter.

Mio: Eh?

Barry: I want to have a close look at these prisioners...

Mio: Oh! You're thinking that they might be like "him?"

Barry: It's been a while since someone like that appeared, so i'm quite interested, also, make sure to notify the supression squad and your magic division, we can't let them simply dissapear if things get ugly for them.

Mio: Wait, you want me to use the Hollow Mirror Field?

Barry: Well, you worked so hard to replicate it like "she" did, so why not put it into pratice?

Mio: ....Very well...The Helicopter will be waiting at the rooftop.

Barry: Charge the Azi-Dahaka just in case.

Mio: Understood, i'll be on my way.

Barry: Anyway, thanks to the visit of that woman, i have to request for the security to be reinfo-

Jasper: ...

Barry: What?

Jasper: I'll take care of it, don't worry.

Barry: You better keep your word...i'm going now.

Jasper: Best of luck!

[Kael Taiyou]

School: Classroom C Music - Act of Demon or the Work of God Hugh: Wait, so we have to do all that exposition again? Marie: Seems like it! Hugh: Thomas, you do that. Thomas: ...okay. Thomas: First, i'll start with the more important, Peach...She made a link with Yukari, but that drastically changed her behavior..as she'll do everything she can to bring the Toadstool Triplets back to her. (And eat people in her freetime.) Thomas: Second, we were entrusted with the task to defeat the RKS, because we can gain their powers. Thomas: And lastly, we need to collect four dreams during each Season Festivals. Hugh: I completelly forgot about that last one. Marie: Have i mentioned that you are hopeless? (In fact, i forgot about that as well.) Hugh: Yes you did! School - Corridors Music - Freezing Time Mina: Okay, i just felt that, something on the rooftop... She quickly jumped through the nearby window, then, after landing, gathered strenght enough to do a jump high enough to reach the rooftop, but she didn't expect to find him there. Mina: (Wait, he was here?) Then she saw the crater. She summed 1+1 then arrived at the result. Mina: (He is...frustrated with something...maybe i shouldn't be direct to the point right now.) Mina: So...how's your stomach?

[MagusDream]

School: Rooftop Magio looked at Mina, passing his and at his eyes to dry up the tears. Magio: ... I'm fine. It's only hurting a little. I was heading for the Nurse's Office, but I decided to stay here for a... while. He got up, but refused to look at her directly. He aimed at the sun, who was already setting. Magio: Shouldn't you go back to class...? You're going to miss the lecture. School: Classroom C Agni: I see... that info will suffice for now, thanks. Agni returned his attention to Necrox, Lilly and Cookie. The two of them were looking at each other. Cookie: Necrox... Lilly... Necrox: Dude... I don't even have words to say. What you did was something that I never expected. At least, not from an angel or from you. Cookie: ... So you two will condemn me, too? Is that what you're trying to say? Lilly: Actually, no. Although I'm starting to be against your actual decision, what's done is done. I can't change your mind anyway... Necrox: Me neither. I'm not in position to condemn you. Cookie: ... Lilly: Cookie... just don't overdo it. If you ever leave us, I'll never... ever forgive you. Necrox: That's coming from me as well. Cookie: Alright then. I suppose I can start by giving you info. BGM: The Poem for Everyone's Souls Cookie: Not all the teachers had told you what they are actually here for, right? Agni: Teacher Kai told us that he'll be helping us as a blacksmith. Necrox: And Mokou has the control over the Arena. That's the only thing we know so far. Cookie: I see. Well, for the very least, I'll tell you mine. Cookie took out a round gem from his pocket. It shined a radiant red. Cookie: Lilly... can you tell me what this is? Lilly: Is that... Materia?! Cookie: Oh, so you recognized it. Agni: Uhh... what is this Materia thing? Lilly: Special gems that were created using magic. Once equipped in a weapon, an armor or an accessory, they can give the user a magic spell or a technique contained in the Materia. Cookie: Yes, that's the basic definition. This one, for example, teaches a summon. Of course I don't have only that. Magic tomes, ninjutsu scrolls, songs, sword techniques... I'll be having them here with me Necrox: Cool! Give it here! Cookie: Not so fast. I don't gain this for free, so unfortunately, they will cost something. Agni: Seriously?! You're gonna ask for money?! Lilly: Uhh... Fair enough, I guess...? Necrox: I still think we should have it for free... Cookie: Well, we can think about the system later. Just consider me your Skill Shop. In the meanwhile, I'll find another ways of acquiring skills.

Now you can acquire new skills and techniques with Cookie!

[Kael Taiyou]

School: Classroom C Music - Saiba Academy Hugh: Money isn't the problem, Fael-chan here can solve this. Fael: Um...the main familly isn't rich anymore. Hugh: Oh yes... Thomas: Don't rely in the guild either, we meticulously calcualtes our fundings in order to not go banrupt...if i could only convince Lyzer to stop with the robot construction...but i would feel bad for it since its her life-dream. Hugh: There's still "her" right? Fael: Why are you looking at me? Hugh: You know, your cousin! Fael: Wait, you're suggesting Seila will lend us money? Hugh: Of course. If it's you she'll do it right? Fael: ... Fael: Fine, i'll talk about this once we meet her. Since Mina's here, i'll see if she can arrange a meeting. Hugh: Yes! School: Rooftop Mina: I went to the bathroom and then, i sensed something coming from this place, and met you. Is that crater really the work of a stomachache?

Lydian School Tales

Summer Lydian School - Corridor Saika: Ah, freaking finally! Yuuri: We are going to resume our search right away. ???: Oh hey! I just met some kindred spirits! Saika and Yuuri: !!! Music – Faint ???: You two are demons, don’t try to hide it. Saika: Sorry, but I’m not interested in those so called “strong people.” I only fight Overlord Level Demons. Yuuri: (You do know you’re still far…very far from being one…like 2000 levels?) ???: Ha! That’s a laugh! Your mana power doesn’t seem that great! It’s just the same as mine. Saika: Don’t compare me to you…besides, why are you looking like one? ???: What are you talking about? Saika: I mean, you have to assume a different form to be in the hu- ???: Who told you that? Saika: Pram the freaking Oracle. ???: … ???: Hahahahahahaha…*laughs only gets more louder.* Saika: What? ???: There’s no way that rule exist missy! Saika: Wha- Yuuri: I knew there was something suspicious about this. Saika: That freaking wannabe…son of a stupid cat ((It is rumored she might be related to King Drake the 3rd))…stupid oracle…she fooled me… Music – Disgaea Saika: I’ll get rid of this form in an instant! Thanks to her anger, she was already pouring a massive amount of mana energy, shaking the corridor they were in, Yuuri couldn’t do nothing since her friend was already past beyond the rage breaking point. ???: Holly Molly! (Okay, she was stronger than I thought…) Saika: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Yuuri: Saika! What I to- Saika: SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPP!!!! After apparently a minute, she stopped, together with the music. Saika: huff….huff….huff… ???: Um…Missy? It didn’t work… Saika: I…know… Yuuri: So…we’re stuck in these forms… Saika: Damn you Pram…I hate you…with all of my hate… Then, her mana power started to increase again, and the music continued. Saika: Just you see, when I finally surpass my Lord Zetta, you’ll be the first one to go, together with Asshat Alex! Then, she was grabbed by something and pinned into a wall with such strength she nearly fainted. Music – The world without logos ???2: Will you stop? Do you want to bring unwanted attention; this place is filled with agents from both the secret police and the Mobile Disaster Corps Saika: Urgh…Just let them come… ???2: You don’t get it do you? People from this city fights people like you for breakfast; I know it, because I witnessed a lot of events that transpired in this place. You won’t survive that easily; just look at me for example. If you want another example, the secret police and the guild always fought the RKS and the Schwartkreuz to a standstill. Yuuri: (What? Those groups are here?) Saika: … (Well, I won’t lie, that one attack hurts like hell.) ??? : Took you long enough to come Master. ???2: Yes. Yuuri: Master? ???2: Let me introduce myself, my name is Kenneth Bryan. Half-Vampire, and this demon here is my familiar, Evikruss. Evikruss: At your services missy! Saika: Stop calling me that. Yuuri: You said half-vampire right? Kenneth: Yes, all their advantages, except the use of magic, and none of their weaknesses…except bloodlust. Evikurss: And it has to be exclusively human blood, if he was a full-vampire, then it wouldn’t be a problem feeding on me or other stuff. He is such an anomally that even his weakness itself is an anomally. Saika: You would let him do that freaky vampire thing? Evikruss: Hey! He earned my respect, he defeated me and tamed be and befriended me, and we’re like, besties! Saika: Okay, enough of that, just saying those nice words are making me nauseous. Yuuri: Oh, by the way, I deeply apologize for the behavior of my superior. Kenneth: It’s okay; it seems nobody was skilled enough to notice your rage. Misuzu: Can you say that again? Kenneth: Apology denied. Yuuri: Urgh… Misuzu: So, what should we do with them Kenneth? Kenneth: I don’t know…maybe we can get their cooperation. Saika: What? Kenneth: There’s something bugging me…there’s been happening way to many strange things in this city besides the RKS attacks. Yuuri: And you want us to cooperate… and in exchange, we won’t be turned over to the authorities? Kenneth: Exactly! So? Saika: Why are you asking? As if you got a choice. Kenneth: You do got a choice, you just need to choose the wisest one. Saika: Okay fine…I’m Saika Ken… Yuuri: And I’m Yuuri Yamazaki. Evikruss: Hey, you mentioned something about a search… Saika: This has nothing to do with you! Evilkruss: Boss! I think you sho- Kenneth: That has nothing to do with us. Evilkruss: Not you too! Misuzu: So with this, we can start investigating, right? Kenneth: Of course, we need to act behind the scenes to find out everything! Kenneth: Now follow me, there’s some people I want to introduce to you, they are also an idenpendant party like us. Saika: Whatever.

[MagusDream]

School: Classroom C Cookie: As I said, we can think about this later. Well then, I'll be going for now. Cookie got up and left to research skills. Lilly: Alright, I guess I'll be going to Etoile Sirius now. Are you coming, Marie? Necrox: Not only her, but I'll go too. I have business at the castle. BGM: Who is There? Lilly: Do you mean...? Necrox: Yeah. I'm going to question Liebea about this. We have to know the real reason behind the RKS' appearance in Multilopolis. Agni: She said that they were here because of Magio's act of treason... Necrox: But that much I doubt. He didn't even had a choice. You know what we're telking about, Giovanni. Agni: Yes... his contract as a Dimensional Traveler. Agni: As what I remind, he told that... once an Universe is considered safe, he has to leave it, no matter what. Lilly: Only Dimensional Masters can stay on safe Universes. Magio hasn't attained that rank when we got to where the RKS and the Schwarzkreuz came from. Agni: But why only her though? Can't the other two help? Necrox: Schwer's scared of everything, she would probably exhale her soul if I started questioning her. Necrox: And I doubt I would obtain something helpful from Luste. That leaves only Liebea out. Lilly: We'll be going on ahead. I don't know if you guys plan on going along, but if you are, we'll be waiting in the library. Necrox: I didn't even thought that you would be going along. Lilly: I have a question in my head too. What if it's possible that Peach was here BEFORE us? That question that was on Lilly's mind started to swarm Necrox too. He never thought about it. She could have been here before them, but made her "debut" in the day that they met with Fael and the others. Lilly: Questioning Liebea might raise an enlightment on my head when it comes to that question. It might even help us discover something that will probably be powerful enough to stop her. Necrox: Ugh... to think there are so many questions without answers... Lilly: Let's get going, then. We may have this and only this chance to fully question Liebea. School - Rooftop Magio: ... Alright... I lied. BGM: Desire for Execution... Magio: I'm angry. Angry, frustrated, sad... all of that at once. Magio: Angry because Cookie made an idiotic decision for an even more idiotic reason. Frustrated because he put his life on the line. And sad because I can't do anything about it. What he did... there's no turning back, even if he wanted.

[Kael Taiyou]

School: Classroom C Thomas: Maybe you should take Kael to help out, Hugh, go call him. I won't bug you after this. Hugh: Fine. I owe you for forcing to give that expositon. Hugh jumps through the window, Marie accepts Lilly's invitation to Etoiler Sirius, Thomas was going to wait at the Library's entrance to wait for Kael. School: Rooftop Mina: I see...would you like to tell me more about it? Mina: I may not be Fael, but you can trust me the same way. School: Guild's Tent Grant: Sorry for the delay. Akina: You didn't take much, the sandwiches are ready. Grant: Great! In the case you're wondering why it took a while...

Behind the Scenes - Brats these Days

Spring Zone Streets Grant: Alright, here's the soda, now i just need to come back ASAP Carlu: Oh, fancy meeting you here! Music - Speak up pup Grant: Oh! If isn't the brat from the Violet Familly. Carlu: Heh, still no manners i see. Lena: Now now! He is still nice despite that, right? Grant: It's what Pinky said! Lena: Um... Carlu: Why are you here for? Grant: Same question for you! Carlu: I'm working of course. Grant: Really? Me too! Carlu: But, you're not on duty anymore. Grant: Who said i need to? Just following a certain someone's example and not putting familly matters in this. Seriously, youngsters these days. Carlu: Sigh...why are you so hard to deal with? Grant: It's the opposite actually, it is hard to deal with people like you. Carlu: ... Grant: If you keep with those stern looks, you'll get early wrinkles you know? Now if you excuse me, i need to tell a story. Lena: There he goes. Carlu: So laidback...Not even my sister is carefree like that. Lena: Wow, this is the first time i hear you say something midly positive about your sister. Carlu: Well-Oh wait, you said mildly...nevermind. Lena: Hihihi! So, want to be done today? Carlu: Yes, we observed enough. (Mister Grant...you think i'm doing this because of familly obligations...you're wrong.)

Mana: I see... Hugh: Hey Kael, they need you at the Library... Music - KILL A Uni: Oooooooooh Damn! Hugh: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Grant: HYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Both father and son punched each other, but only Hugh was thrown away by the force of his father's punch. Hugh: Urgh...dammed old man! What are you doing here? Grant: I came here to see you stupid son! Akina: Then i guess the story... Grant: It'll have to wait Missy! Hugh: I was itching to punch you again. Hugh's body is enveloped in lightining. Grant: So, you're mastering the power inherited from your mother... Although, i don't recall she ever teaching you that! Hugh: I don't need neither of you to teach me how to fight. Now bring it on bastard, i'll make you pay for not being present by most of my life, by making me turn into the jerk i am now. Heck, even if mom was a jerk, she at least teached me stuff! Grant: I don't blame ya for being angry at me! Grant: Neither do i care for you hate, just show me how do you plan to surpass your old man. Hugh: You sick piece of shit! Uni: Kael...you should go to the Library...we'll see what we can do here. Kael: Alright...

Lydian School Tales

Lydian School: Clasroom Music - Lizardman's Lair Saika: Okay, why did we go back to this clasroom. Kenneth: Why? Because this is where we'll meet. ???: Hey! ???2: Wait, aren't those the transfer students? ???3: They are...is this some kind of cliche that involves the transfer student in something? Yuuri: Err... Saika: Don't answer to that. Kenneth: Where's Andressa? Andressa: Right here! ???2: Wait, Andressa Senpai is coming too? Misuzu: I'm rather surprised myself. Andressa: Don't get me wrong, you can use me as you like, i'm just itching for a good fight. Kenneth: You already told me that. Evilkruss: So, how about you guys tell your names? ???: Alright then... Drake: My name is Drake Celest Gold! Misuzu: Celest? But wait...you said Gold instead of Duarte, then that means... Drake: The Branching Familly. Misuzu: I see. Drake: Well, we're largelly out of focus, so i don't blame you on getting this right away. We don't get mentioned often. Misuzu: I-It wasn't my intention...I'm sorry... Drake: Don't worry about it senpai! Evilkruss: Next, you! Drake: I'm actually surprised this girl is too. She's usually too quiet. Today was pretty much the only time i heard her voice. ???2: Yes... Lyna: You can call me Lyna Clay. Kenneth: Can...call? Lyna: Y-yes...that's my name! Kenneth: Alright then. Evilkruss: Now you! Nicholas: Nicholas Platinum, at your services my dear transfer students. Saika: Take that smile away before i hit on you...literally. Andressa: And you already know me, Andressa Kou, president of the kendo club, little Drake over there is my underling. Drake: (More like slave...) Kenneth: Since i do believe you all know then names of the two transfer students...let's begin the briefing. Music - Underground hideout He ordered everyone to take a seat, Kenneth stood close to the blackboard, while Evilkruss was going to be the one doing the exposition. Evilkruss: Alright pallies, today's topic is about a weird blue-haired girl, who is not Kazanari Tsubasa nor Orie Harada. And obviously, not the transfer student either. Yuuri: ... Drake: I don't think they are weird... Evilkruss: That's not the point... Evilkruss: Anyway, she appeared in front of my master once, said some cripitic stuff, then left. Lyna: What did she say? Kenneth: "Amazing, every living form is amazing, both me, you, everyone around, it's simply amazing. If you can, you'll be able to fell that maginifisense as well." Nicholas: That's crypitic alright. Kenneth: ...Continue. Evilkruss: We've been spotting the chick here and there, talking to people with this weird smile, no matter where we go, she's is always there as well. Saika: And that's weird how? Kenneth: We believe she's not from this place...or rather, this world. Drake: W-wha-? Nicholas: Hey, you're joking right? Evilkruss: You got three demons in here, and onmyouji, a boy from a forgotten familly, a girl that suddenly decided to talk, a half-vampire...and whatever you are. Nicholas: I'm pretty sure i'm a human. Evilkruss: What my boss meant to say, is that he felt some smell coming from her, a smell that no one in this city has. Kenneth: Something beyound human i must say. She also mumbled something about a mansion. Lyna: Wait, is this related to the rumor about the Illusion Mansion? Andressa: That place that keeps showing up on empty terrains of this city and people takes that as hallucination. Kenneth: Could be. In fact, i did witness it once. Nicholas: You can't be serious. Evilkruss: Yes, but not the girl is never around, nor we could enter without it vanishing with a blink of an eye. By the way, since we mentioned the mansion, i can jump the second topic...any more questions? Nicholas: Normally i would, but i'll pass. Evilkruss: Alrighty, this other topic is something i overheard from a conversation between Hyde Kido and Barry Gray Togami. Drake: What they talked about? (Which is odd, usually, Mister Togami is only chatting with officers and stuff...he never had any free time.) Evilkruss: About a possible two suspects that might be responsable for the Noise outbreak. Music - Tsuji Giri Ga Deru Kara Abuna Iiyo Everyone except Kenneth gasped, until today, no one had a clue on the very existence of the Noise. They couldn't believe what they just heard. Kenneth himself was still a little shaken. Nicholas: I guess i know why they keep shit like that private. Drake: (That's not true...but i don't blame you for thinking like that) Lyna: ...So all this time...they were created? Why would they... Andressa: Danmed Noise... Misuzu: So...who's this responsable? Evilkruss: According to him, he met two people, one was a blonde adult wearing a blackdress and sunglasses, and the other was someone about your general age with a strange, silver armor who used some cane to summon these monsters. Andressa: So, these bastards are summoned huh? Saika: Um...i'm not getting a word you said. Nicholas: You don't? That's common know- Saika: Transfer Student! From the Netherworld! Demon! I don't know shit! Nicholas: Oh...wait... Kenneth: Ah yeah, when my familiar mentioned three demons, he was talking about himself, and those two girls as well. Yuuri: At this point, i don't care as long as this keeps just between us. Lyna: (So that's why their auras were similar to Mister Kruss.) Music - BL_93 Kenneth: There's one last thing we want to share...something that even the Guild can't approach without proper preparation. Drake: Something at the Autumn Place...right? Evilkruss: Exactly...the place Evilkruss and me meant to investigate for a while...The Abandoned Factory. Nicholas: Okay, now that's just crazy, people dissapeared there. Kenneth: Exactly, and that's why i'm going to need the transfer students for that. They are not exactly people. Saika: Heh, i'm not afraid of dreaded places, since i come from the Netherworld, which is one. Yuuri: I hate to brag, but you got the right ones for the job. Kenneth: Let's separate the duties then, Saika and Yuuri will investigate the factory. Misuzu: Me and Kenneth will go after the abandoned mansion. Evilkruss: Me and Mister "You've got to be kidding me!" will go after the "Noise Makers." Nicholas: Sure, poke fun of me...That leaves the two guys and Andressa to the festival. Andressa: Oh, you couldn't have assinged me to the best place, since last yeat, freaky stuff has been happening in the festivals. Lyna: You think that the Mysterious Blue Haired girl will show up there? Kenneth: Yes. As that will be the best place for her to see the living beings she admires so much. (If Andressa's guess is to be correct.) Andressa: I just can't wait. Drake: Geez, stop saying it like that. Andressa: Kenneth is okay with it. Got any problem? Drake: ... Andressa: Don't let it get to you underling! You have your morals, i have mine. Drake: I know that. Kenneth: Well, now that everyone is aware of their duties, best of luck and see you in after the festival. Misuzu: It's a shame i have to miss it. Kenneth: Oh wait, before that...don't you think you should reveal yourself already? The one eavesdropping us. ???: Eh? Lyna: Wait, was someone in here? Music - Recollection II The person entered the room, it was none other than Miku Kohinata. Drake: M-Miss Kohinata? Kenneth: She's been eavesdropping us for a while...even if you can't sense her at all, since she doesn't have any power...she can still be smelled. Miku: Um...is it true that the festival might be in danger? Andressa: Even though that's common knowledge...it's higly likely it will be another big shitstorm. Miku: Um...Sorry...I promise that i'll keep a secret. Kenneth: You sure? You seemed distressed when you asked about the festival. Miku: ...Because...i'm going to take my friend there... Miku: But more importantly, many people will be in danger, including myself. Kenneth: Which is why i asked that you were sure if you wanted to keep a secret. Can you really live with that truth? Without being able to tell everyone that? Miku: I... Lyna: Don't worry. We'll protect them. Miku: Eh? Lyna: Me and Drake we'll be there. Drake: Not just us, many strong people will be there, my big brother, my cousins, the guild, the secret police, a lot of strong people i know...We are an unbeatable army! Miku: But... Lyna: You can keep the secret...we promise that no harm will come upon no one. Lyna: And even if we fail at that, i'll be there to heal them. Drake: Heal? Kenneth: Yes, besides, by the fact she could see Evilkruss in his intangible form, pretty much meant that she had something in her, then, she demonstrated her powers to me, and i accepted her as a part of the team. Drake: Healing Magic...this is not something you see everyday. Drake: Anyway, can we trust that you'll keep our secret? Miku: Yes! Kenneth: Seriously though, don't ever mention this meeting to anyone, we don't want the higher ups to know what we are doing, at least not for now. Miku: I understand...even if i don't like to keep secrets between friends, but i'll do it. Kenneth: Good! Now as i said before, Best of Luck and see you after the festival!

((I guess I was the only one who thought of Memory of Tears in that scene...)) School - Door to the Library Necrox and Lilly walked to the library's door, so they could wait if someone came. Necrox: Alright, we should wait some minutes and then, if no one appears, we'll go. Lilly: It would be good if someone came. After all, I can't hold you back when you get fired up. School: Rooftop Magio: ... Yeah, I would love to. I need someone to talk about this anyway...

Lydian School Tales

Orie kept walking in the corridors, hardly thinking about what Azrel had said to her before he left. Orie: (Am I thinking too much, perhaps? It doesn't leave my mind... how does he know about Hyde? What exactly is this Automatic Nerve?) As she walked, Orie stumbled upon someone. Orie: Oh, sorry. I did not meant to- ???: It's fine... I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, anyway... Orie: Hmmm? I never saw you on the school. May I know who you are? Frozen Heart Filled with Ressentiment Gelato Diamond Gelato: ... My name is Gelato Diamond... I will start here tomorrow... Orie: Oh, I see. I am Orie Harada and it's a pleasure to meet you, Gelato-kun. Gelato: What... did you called me? Orie: Gelato-kun. Is something wrong about it? Gelato grabbed Orie's arm and held it firmly. She didn't talked about it, but he was hurting her. Gelato: ... Don't call me like that ever again. Orie: W-Why are you holding my arm? Let go of it! At her protest, he let go and kept walking without looking back. Orie started to massage her arm with her other hand. Orie: Geez... what's with him? I'm being friendly and then he gives me the cold shoulder! ???2: He is being like that with everyone that tries to talk with him. Orie: Oh, Alice-chan. The Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid Alice: I did ignored him. It was not much of my time to present myself to him. Orie: Well, I was just tring to be friendly. Alice: I did see that. Listen, Orie. Orie: Yes? Alice: I might be a little other than simply blunt, but you will regret being this nice towards others. Orie: Alice-chan... Alice: Trust me, this has come from living experience.
