[color=bc8dbf]“Don't you worry about it Nanako-chan,”[/color] Chiyo said happily as the group of girls leaped away from the battle scene. The boundary placed forth by the Primordial was shattered, gone from sight and existence. Arriving back at the high school, Chiyo placed Nanako down before giving her hair a quick tussle.

[color=f26522]“The fight went about as you can imagine,”[/color] Akame reported back to Rose.[color=f26522] “Emiri used up a lot of her magic so she’ll have to recover overtime. That means no fighting for her until she’s well rested.”[/color]

She then turned to Miyako before saying, [color=f26522]“I apologize for the inconvenience. Please, wait a little longer for Emiri to join us again before training. I know she’s been waiting for an experience like this for a long time.”[/color]

Akame smiled, both at Miyako and the newly recovered Elise. Striding up to the crimson Magical Girl, she bowed her head slightly. She could guess that Elise would brush off her apology, probably even proclaim that she enjoyed their battle. Still, it was good manners to state her apologies all the same.

[color=f26522]“Forgive me for battling so roughly against you,”[/color] Akame put in. [color=f26522]“Please understand that my actions in battle do not reflect the emotions I have now. I hope we may still work together with your training alongside Rea.”[/color]

As flawless as always and it seemed even the environment had to agree with Akame’s words. The rain had stopped pouring and the sun made its presence known to the world; a vibrant rainbow appeared in following of the rain. The sight was nothing short of beautiful.

The Contractor remained silent, though he did cast his gaze briefly to the newly assembled group of Magical Girls.

[color=bc8dbf]“Oh my. What a lovely way to end our first day spent together,”[/color] Chiyo commented. [color=bc8dbf]“However, I’m afraid I won’t be enjoying the coming tides for much longer.”[/color]

[color=f26522]“You won’t join us then?”[/color] Akame asked.

[color=bc8dbf]“Oh, I didn’t say that. I still have every intention of becoming a member of our new team. It’s just that I’ll be gone for the next few days or so. You see, I have some business I simply must take care of in Mitakihara Town before settling in Miso City.”
