She used that momentum to hit him and send him away.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zvjKnFL.png[/img] Mia: You said your name is Werhan, correct? Very well. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EMl2V8O.png[/img] Mia: I gave you and your companions a chance to retreat, yet you refused to listen... from this moment on, I am taking you into immediate custody!! Thug: G-Get the pinkie!! [i]Before Mia could even move towards Werhan and aid Kaori, the thugs went all on her. They began to attack the shield incessantly.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zvjKnFL.png[/img] Mia: Releasing impulsive force! [i]She pushed herself against them but didn't move an inch. With a powerful pulsar emanating from the shield, Mia managed to send the thugs away from her and finally freed herself from their assault.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/a2TCMdP.png[/img] Mia: I'll hold those thugs for now! Kaori, I'll leave Werhan to you, but be careful!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/AKmLKan.png[/img] Drake: Well, back to the topic at hand, what are you going to do now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jatcmsq.png[/img] Lilina: I don't know... maybe I should- Azrel: Run away? Is that your answer? [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCN5-BiHb7s]Marionette Purple[/url] [i]Azrel finally went inside and confronted the group. He wore a confident smile as Masaru questioned who he was.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/P51wQcd.png[/img] Masaru: W-Who are you?! How did you even get here? [img]https://i.imgur.com/yqfRGEx.png[/img] Azrel: Someone's shocked. I'd be too, if I saw a stranger entering in my house like there's nothing going on. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OkRzA62.png[/img] Drake: We didn't ask you to say the obvious! We asked who the hell are you!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/gWsX0pT.png[/img] Azrel: Oooh, the snake wants to bite. What, you're going to poison me or something? [img]https://i.imgur.com/hKs4Sc7.png[/img] Drake: Why, you son of a- [img]https://i.imgur.com/1t0c4Vz.png[/img] Lilina: Drake, calm down! [i]At Lilina's signal, Drake sat back into the chair. Once again, Lilina asked about the mysterious stranger.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4x9mL0v.png[/img] Lilina: I'll ask once more. Who are you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/zJNERsK.png[/img] Azrel: Azrel Ametrine. And just for the record, I tried to help the good officer here, but I got in the way. [img]https://i.imgur.com/38jFnIs.png[/img] Lilina: So you were helping Kail...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/JnfCrgE.png[/img] Azrel: Well, outside of that, I got something I need to give you. Here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/IY860b0.png[/img] [i]Azrel handed a strange wand to Lilina. She looked at it, utterly confused.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/r2xUJMz.png[/img] Lilina: A... wand? [img]https://i.imgur.com/dU99u20.png[/img] Drake: What, you just barge in and give her some sort of stupid toy? That's so lame. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jH1jd5W.png[/img] Azrel: This little "toy" here might help you with your powers. You should consider it well. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tEUc519.png[/img] Masaru: It does? What does it do, exactly? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ME8TuIe.png[/img] Azrel: Curious, huh? Let's see... how much you're willing to pay for the info? [img]https://i.imgur.com/X4C5YDC.png[/img] Masaru: Y-You want money? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UjPloUM.png[/img] Azrel: What do I look like, some sort of walking donator? If you want the info, pay for it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/D6KGny3.png[/img] Drake: You look like a freaking robber, that's what! [img]https://i.imgur.com/EqwemAf.png[/img] Azrel: Really? At least I'm not so slippery to barge in from the window. [img]https://i.imgur.com/PAnhQP6.png[/img] Drake: Grr...!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/6nP23F9.png[/img] Lilina: Azrel, enough of your jokes. I won't pay you anything for this. What is this wand and what does it do? [img]https://i.imgur.com/NofSAMm.png[/img] Azrel: So you're not giving me the money? Well then, I'm not giving the info, I guess. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8ds0XqO.png[/img] Lilina: W-What? [img]https://i.imgur.com/JnfCrgE.png[/img] Azrel: No money, no info. Sorry. [img]https://i.imgur.com/eA0a4Jh.png[/img] Masaru: T-That's just wrong! You can't leave us hanging like this! [img]https://i.imgur.com/6XDMQLt.png[/img] Azrel: My bad, but it's against my terms to just handle info freely like that. Either you pay me or contract my services. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OG83MU9.png[/img] Masaru: Uhh... [i]Seeing how no one answered to a payment, Azrel gave the classic glance at the cloc.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VNW25lZ.png[/img] Azrel: Well, would you look at the time. I'd love to chat, but it's best if I just keep wandering around. Ta-ta for now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vAKebRb.png[/img] Lilina: Azrel... are you here to help us or... [img]https://i.imgur.com/zJNERsK.png[/img] Azrel: ... I'll leave that to your perspective, Lilina. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jatcmsq.png[/img] Lilina: ... [i]And so, Azrel left. As soon as he was out of the doorway, he jumped towards the rooftop and kept jumping between houses.[/i] [b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Sayaka's House[/u][/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VSuDNNc.png[/img] Sayaka: See, she agrees! Xaizor, I really think you should enter! You'd do well in no time! [img]https://i.imgur.com/JDkSsgE.png[/img] Xaizor: I'll... give some thought... later. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pd0Gfzr.png[/img] Sayaka: Xaizor, you're red! Did you got a fever? [img]https://i.imgur.com/VQ9eiUF.png[/img] Xaizor: J-Just ignore it, please... it's not a fever...
