[img]https://i.imgur.com/3jccryV.png[/img] Lucent: Yeah... [img]https://i.imgur.com/za6l2MN.png[/img] Maki: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/dBTj77y.png[/img] Lucent: I guess then I'll have to make them earlier... [img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img] Kaito: The sweets? Can't you do them while you're cooking? [img]https://i.imgur.com/xlnoCs5.png[/img] Maki: Wasn't me or Reeta on cooking duty tomorrow? [img]https://i.imgur.com/5Ni8MqY.png[/img] Kaito: Well, Kiragi insisted so Lady Amara put Lucent to cooking duty tomorrow. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KqRtDeJ.png[/img] Maki: And you can cook? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Aupzp9a.png[/img] Lucent: It's... nothing grand... I'm better at making s-sweets... [img]https://i.imgur.com/eH3vHOy.png[/img] Maki: Sweets? [img]https://i.imgur.com/9W2NWsK.png[/img] Lucent: If Rayla and Tiane are leaving tomorrow... I might do them earlier... [img]https://i.imgur.com/tqfHLBg.png[/img] Kaito: I saw that we have ingredients to do it. But what exactly do you plan to do...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/gjuIKoT.png[/img] Lucent: Chocolate truffles was my first option. They're kinda easier to do than a cake. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MUPiZJi.png[/img] Lucent: Oh, maybe I can do on different flavors! Like traditional, strawberry, orange... and I do have to think on decorations. I guess I could scrap the decorations and- [i]When he looked at it, there he was, talking happily about sweets. Upon seeing it, Lucent got embarassed and hid his face between his hands.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img] Lucent: Aaaah! I-I got too excited and spoke too much... [img]https://i.imgur.com/nHoaF56.png[/img] Kaito: Hehe! Well, I'll be waiting for those truffles then! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: Gods, this is so embarassing... [img]https://i.imgur.com/gAmOHiJ.png[/img] Maki: (So the loner can cook and has a sweet tooth... I don't know if I find this impressive or ridiculous.) [b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - In Front of Andorina's House[/u][/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zsVMaFw.png[/img] Mia: Why, thank you. Like I said, I want to protect my friends and the people, so it is no problem to me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/gxY7PLX.png[/img] Mia: I should head back to my base and inform my superiors immediately. You have my number, so if anything happens, you can call. Well, see you tomorrow, Andorina. [i]Mia waved and left. Her destination was the Winter District, where not only she lived, but the base of the Holy Order was positioned. As she walked on the streets, she thought about something else.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zvjKnFL.png[/img] Mia: I wonder, how Kaori and Andorina managed to escape the assault until they could find me? I doubt Kaori always knew how to use a gun, less she had those powers to begin with... [b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Alice's House[/u][/i][/b] [i]Alice entered in the house, only to see Xaizor and Marina at the fireplace.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8lAyE2n.png[/img] Alice: I'm back. Sorry if I took too long, had to do a detour. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ALLkS8t.png[/img] Marina: No, it is fine. We have been in the fireplace for a while now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/BVcdHPh.png[/img] Alice: I see. Is it cold inside? [img]https://i.imgur.com/iDnx3oc.png[/img] Xaizor: K-Kinda... at least for me... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vDVUdnu.png[/img] Alice: Did something happen while I was outside...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DEL0dJO.png[/img] Marina: Well, it did. You see... [i]The two explained the situation to Alice, who understood it all. She was happy he saved Sayaka, but was worried at the same time about Xaizor drawing enemies upon himself.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/i2yhT0K.png[/img] Alice: I see... so you went to save your friend. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img] Marina: I told him it was a bad idea, but he did not listen to me at all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img] Xaizor: I couldn't just leave her there, she was frightened as hell! If I did, she would've been captured! [img]https://i.imgur.com/UWsb3vZ.png[/img] Alice: I'm not mad at you, but be careful in the next time. You can't go risk yourself all the time like this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img] Xaizor: I know, I know... [img]https://i.imgur.com/bmqMyi9.png[/img] Alice: Well then, I'll make some hot chocolate. Xaizor, have you taken a bath yet? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img] Xaizor: Not yet. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HGLjikU.png[/img] Alice: Then go before you catch a cold. There are towels there, so pick and use one. [img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img] Xaizor: OK, I'm going... [i]Alice went to the kitchen while Xaizor headed for the baths. Marina looked at the fireplace, imagining what the future had to being towards their path.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/6w6BHBb.png[/img] Marina: (Veronica told me about Sayaka and how she's alright now. That makes me glad. Xaizor was a good help to their forces, as I could imagine.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Fyjw6aT.png[/img] Marina: (Though I wonder what else lies awaiting us at this world...)
