"Alright, you two, the train is going to arrive in two hours, so you best get up," Maria (a female teenaged version of Marok (from AC: Zaonia) with a knee-low curly ponytail) stated as she opened the door. Maria entered the bedroom and stopped mid-step when she saw Nano doing one-handed handstand push-ups.

"O-oh... you're already up, Nano... good; just make sure Naito's awake for me if you would, I need to get the master's children ready for kindergarten," Maria stated. Nano gave Maria a thumbs-up with his free hand, and Maria gave a bow before she closed the door behind herself. Nano front flipped onto his feet and strolled over to Nai as they slept in Nano's bed.

"How long are you going to pretend to be asleep, Nai?" Nano stated calmly. Nai rolled over and opened her left eye.

"I'm only partly pretending...," Nai muttered before they cut themselves off by yawning loudly. Nai rolled onto their stomach before stretching their arms and legs, causing their six other arms to pop out from the two holes in the back of their oversized yellow shirt.

"... Also it's Naito now... cuz... me... a guy now," Naito uttered as he closed his eye. Nano stood quietly by his bed and watched Naito; A cheeky smirk formed on Naito's face as he sensed Nano struggling to figure out how to deal with the situation. Naito took a quick peek at Nano, only to quickly get up on his knees and dart his head around the room as he struggled to locate Nano.

"Down here.". Naito swiftly peeked his head over the side of the bed and sighed in relief as he saw Nano lying on the floor. Naito gave Nano an annoyed stare before he poked Nano's forehead.

"Why are you on the floor?" Naito asked unamusedly.

"Is that question rhetorical?" Nano replied.

"Is yours?".

"Depends on your answer to unit's original question," Nano stated calmly before he rolled forward and hopped onto his feet. Naito groaned before he hopped off Nano's bed and walked over to the dressing mirror. Naito looked at his reflection before letting out a meek sigh and poking one of his chubby thighs.

"I thought making myself male would've made my thighs slimmer," Naito said disapointedly.

"But you seem to have gotten taller," Nano stated, causing Naito to spin around and compare his and Nano's height. Naito placed his hand paw on top of his head before moving it towards Nano until his paw bumped into Nano's lower rib.

"Woah! A whole inch," Naito said excitedly.

"Two inches and a half," Nano stated neutrally.

"Oh right, you're taller too.".

Nano raised his hand and clasped it, causing his clothes to burst into a cloud of magic sand before reforming into a set of new clothes: a full-body golden spandex [apart from arms], a completely white kariginu-themed fur hoodie with kitsune ears [have pale banana-yellow tips] and large text on the back in an unknown language, cargo trousers without any pockets, and golden geta.

"Now get changed," Nano stated before he bursted apart and formed next to his and Naito's suitcases.

"What do you mean get changed? I'm covered in fur remember?" Naito said cheekily while sticking his tongue out at Nano as Nano checked the suitcases.

"That didn't stop you from repurposing one of the shirts this unit received from Lord Sakamoto," Nano stated as he stood up from the suitcases. Naito shrugged smugly as he reformed himself lying on top of the suitcases.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"Well, I don't feel like it since you stole my previous attire," Naito stated while pointing at Nano's hoodie.

"Very well, you can wear whatever or not wear whatever you want," Nano uttered dismissively. Naito puffed up his cheek and pouted at Nano.

"Don't make me sound like I'm a weirdo, meanie," Naito murmured upsetly.

A few minutes later, the duo exited the room. Nano pulled the two suitcases behind him while Naito sat on the platinum-coloured suitcase. As he turned a corner, Nano spotted a wall-sized cluster of large and fluffy kitsune tails at the end of the hallway: half were dark green with glowing cyan tips and the other half were dark silver with glowing black tips.

With every step he took towards the cluster of kitsune tails, Nano felt a stronger and stronger pressure being exerted on his soul while his physical body remained unburdened by the pressure. The overwhelming pressure reached its peak and gave Nano the impression someone had dropped a continent on him.

Nano was within a foot of the tail cluster before the overwhelming pressure abruptly subsided as the kitsune tails rustled. The tails swerved as the person the tails belonged to turned around and revealed the person to be the towering Zalwrath (a sort of fusion between Zalroth(from Azure Chronicles) and Zalrotho(from Midnight Eternity)). (long spikey hair left half is dark green hair with glowing cyan tips, and the right half is dark silver hair with glowing pale cyan and glowing black tips, pale cyan left eye, pure grey right eye without a pupil, lightly tanned skin, appeared in his thirties, and has a short fluffy beard; he wearing a skintight darksteel threaded full body apart from arms spandex suit, a pink unzipped sweater with a chibi spider head themed hood, black fur combat trousers, pink cat themed slippers, and two pink knitted hair ties tied around the tips of his kitsune ears)

"Oh, you two are on the move sooner than I expected," Zalwrath remarked with a deep jolly voice. Zalwrath stood happily in front of Nano and Naito; however, as the duo remained oddly silent, Zalwrath glanced down at the duo to see Naito perplexly looking at his clothes while Nano remained in his eternally unphased state.

"Did... Minioa and Nebina make those for you?" Naito asked while pointing at Zalwrath's sweater and slippers. Zalwrath giddily grinned while he cracked his fingers.

"You betcha. It's honestly breathtaking how skilled they are given they're only toddlers~" Zalwrath said boastfully.

"Yeah... I bet professionals would weep if they knew toddlers were better than them," Naito said jokingly, causing Zalwrath to nod in agreement.

"Indeed, but let's move on to more pressing matters than people's envy shall we?" Zalwrath stated. Zalwrath reached into one of his tails and pulled out Zallithivo (from Midnight Eternity) and Zalmaru (from Azure Chronicles) in their small animal forms while they were asleep.

"Given you're heading to the... erm...," Zalwrath said. Zalwrath's left eye flickered to a silvery pale golden sphere with a pale silver dot at the centre of the eye and multiple pale silver concentric rings. Zalwrath's eye reverted to its original form as he seemed to recall what he was going to say.

"Oh right! Halo-Light Academy, since you're going there you're going to need families so....".

"So, you wish to have Lithivo and Maru act as our familiars, Lord Sakamoto?" Nano asked as he bowed, although it looked kind of goofy given he was holding the suitcases, and Naito couldn't help but giggle.

"I know normally familiars are spirits, faes, and similar sorts of folks, but given how strong you are I'm sure you'll have a hard time finding any compatible familiars," Zalwrath said with a slightly serious tone.

"Your concern is appreciated, and we also appreciate the offer, Lord Sakamoto," Nano stated with a business tone. Zalwrath placed Lithivo and Maru on Nano's head. Zalwrath crouched down on his shoulder and patted the duo on their shoulders. Zalwrath thought over his words but couldn't come up with anything and just hung his head for a second. Zalwrath raised his head and gave Nano and Naito a goofy smirk.

"Try not to go overboard, Naito; Nano, try to liven up... and I mean it in a more literal sense than changing who you are as a person," Zalwrath said with a smile. Zalwrath patten the two on the shoulders one last time before he stood up; he gave the duo a cheeky smirk before he front-flipped over the duo and walked off. Naito watched Zalwrath as he walked off until he walked around the corner of the hallway.

"Man... he's way waaaayyyy taller than our original Zalroth," Naito said telepathically to Nano. Nano didn't respond to Naito's comment and silently looked at his reflection in the window while Zalwrath's words echoed in his mind.
