[i]The Intermezzo Mansion, lying at the northeast end of the Spring Zone. Its position is technically hidden from the eyes of the people, as it's covered by trees which makes the vision of the place difficult from the outside. Even the gate to enter is hidden as well. Only the members of the family, friends of the members and those who were working there knew how to reach it.[/i]

[i]With quick leaps from tree to tree, Auror reached the door and entered at his home. There, differently from usual, Veronica was waiting for him.[/i]

Veronica: Good night, Big Bro!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img]
Auror: V-Vivi?! What are you doing here?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9xEYDWK.png[/img]
Veronica: To receive you, duh.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img]
Auror: Huh... thanks for the reception but you're not getting the briefing though.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Y5ICfWw.png[/img]
Veronica: I am... worried about your missions, but not on that sense. You know that I'm against all this, right?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img]
Auror: We already talked about this. With the police being useless, someone has to properly clean the streets and that has to be me.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4n6qtfT.png[/img]
Veronica: But Miss Rayla's already feared enough! She's like an authority in the Spring Zone! Can't we just leave this to her?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img]
Auror: ... Like hell I'm leaving this into Rayla's hands. Her merciful nature isn't enough to stop those scumbags. Peace will be found only by taking out the trash properly, not throwing it into a corner.

[i]Auror had Rayla as a good friend, but his respect towards her only meant in friendship. He's against how she leaves thugs to fight. As such, it made her an eventual target to them and she isn't feared. Him, though, wanted to instill fear through the deaths of possible allies of gangs and those sorts. Veronica never approved her brother being in risk just to safeguard a town. She'd prefer to live with him in danger other than living in a possible peace he died to instill. Her words, however, never reached him or anyone. She goes on being accessary with the situation, trying to leave herself out of all problems.[/i]

Veronica: I... won't stop you. But please, for everything we are living, don't die. I love you too much for just losing you like this.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7b55qgm.png[/img]
Auror: Don't worry. The Blue Reaper won't fall that easy.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/k6jSyUu.png[/img]
Auror: Anyway, about your friend... the one who got involved into the terrorist attack and almost got kidnapped if I hadn't arrived at time.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/NxNoMTz.png[/img]
Veronica: I talked with Sayaka over the phone. She's not going to school yet. She's too terrified.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/mbOBZ0E.png[/img]
Auror: Hmm... Veronica, did you ever felt something strange while talking with her? Like, a magical aura or something of the sort?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/lXYN8dy.png[/img]
Veronica: No, I'd never felt it. Why?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img]
Auror: (Then why did I feel something from her in the time she was being kidnapped? She isn't just a normal girl.)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/kjRX9Bh.png[/img]
Veronica: Big Bro...?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/teYwd5S.png[/img]
Auror: Ah, nothing. It's just a theory. Anyway, I'm taking a bath. Food's ready?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/B1JDM84.png[/img]
Veronica: Your portion's right at the kitchen! There's also a chocolate cake!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/tSVhfJA.png[/img]
Auror: Nice! I'll go ahead then. Good night, Vivi!

[i]He went upstairs towards the bathroom. Veronica looked at the window, as the sunset began to end.[/i]

Veronica: (If only there was a way of convincing him to stop with this madness... but even Daddy ignores me. What can I do now?)

[i]They were all reunited at the shrine's kitchen. It actually grew bigger inside thanks to Lumino's interference, which only Reimu knew about it. In the kitchen, as they were eating, she decided to start the conversation.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/SM3md5j.png[/img]
Reimu: So, how was your first expedition day?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/crDQ8CB.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img]
Marina: It was interesting.
Xaizor: It was boring.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/tk8bmv1.png[/img]
Reimu: OK... so how was the school?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/3xK7Mbp.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img]
Marina: I learned many new things about this world.
Xaizor: I wanted to ignore everything since I had no training at all.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Yqa41fW.png[/img]
Reimu: *sigh* This is getting nowhere.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/z1QU4RS.png[/img]
Marina: There was something problematic, though. And it was this idiot right here.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img]
Xaizor: Wait, what did I do wrong?!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/kHFM33k.png[/img]
Marina: You were almost telling them about our identities! I warned you twice today not to do it and you ignored me!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img]
Xaizor: What's the problem? I wasn't lying or anything.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9zA4Ndn.png[/img]
Reimu: Xaizor, there's a huge problem. Your truth is a lie here.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/iDnx3oc.png[/img]
Xaizor: Eh?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/v0dypAV.png[/img]
Reimu: Lacrima exists outside of this and all worlds. It lives on a separate space from this, being nonexistent to anyone at this world. You should stop trying to tell them the truth and live with the lie that you're not a prince and that Lacrima doesn't exist.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img]
Xaizor: ...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/JoJ10Ma.png[/img]
Reimu: It keeps your father safe as well if you do that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FZgkrmM.png[/img]
Xaizor: Alright. I'll stop telling the truth.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/B8IozwH.png[/img]
Reimu: Good to know. Now, let's eat.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Wz0A4b7.png[/img]
Reimu: (I just estabilished the connection and now I have something to talk with you. Wouldn't it be nice to actually talk with you in person, Lumino...)
