July we have to talk.
“.......”
Why she can't say a thing whe-
“Sorry”
“About what?”
“I know that we don't know for a long time and that I tried to taking you in my care, but you are so independent that apparently I wasn't needed at all...I'm sorry”
“I don't care”
“!?”
“I know that you want to help me and to be frank I like it, but I am not a person that can easily trust another person, I need time, if you want to help me it will be your own decision but my past won't be a thing to talk, never”
“I...I understand”
“Thanks”
I thought it would be more sentimental but it se-huk!
“But remember, I am here if you need help”
A hug...some time since someone gave me one...It's warm.
Time to go back.
“July, the sun is going down”
“......”
“Or you go off of me or I will tickle you to death”
“......”
“You asked for it!”
Then I give July a living hell of tickling, it was so hard that made her pee herself. In our way back to not let the seat of the horse smell I showered July's groin with water magic, since then she not uttered a word, only when we go back to the house she starts to scold me about how disgraceful was to only put water on her groin and not in all over her.
“You could said it before going back”
“I forgot!”
“Sorry, sorry, the next time you pee yourself I will wash your whole body instead of only your groin”
After that things become normal again, I go to school, then to the laboratory and go back to the house. Since I was tasked to give to Baltsara my investigation of what is “Sparks magic” I only say what I remember of electricity.

“Is energy, a form of energy”
“That's all?”
“If you want a more mystic way to say it then is up to you, I only say what I know and that's it”
“Is better than nothing, I will put it in the journal, now we are going to try the strengths and weaknesses”
“About that, I don't know the other elements but this magic is weak to earth, and if use sparks magic in metal or water and an enemy is touching them the attack will go to them ”
“......”
“......”
“......”
I know that this was a something that naturally a day worth of time is not but I want to skip the part were the group discover the obvious things. After that, we began to investigate in more ways about lightning. It feels strange to investigate something that you know more or less what does, but it was fun as if I was doing a project of school. Some days passed after that day and now Baltsara behaves like a cartoon mad scientist, but without the evil laughter.
“We are close, I can feel it, some more days and this new magic is going to be released in the world!”
“See you tomorrow”
But I didn't care, I was going to my house to eat dinner talk with July, brush my teeth and go to sleep to end the day but…...
“Hello Dina, sorry about the mess, but things go out of control”
I saw July in the living room/kitchen tying three people in black clothes, the room had some broken furniture, in the walls are proofs that a sword was used inside the house and said sword was in the corner of the room.
“...Let me guess, you are able to defend yourself a proof of that is that you are a receptionist in the magic guild, right?”
“We receptionists are members of the magic guild too, but to become one you need to be a member for a long time, we are mages with power and a variety of spells and since we have to deal with prideful and powerful people we are backed by the guild, even a king have to think twice before trying to attack me”
“Then that means that the one targeting you is some stupid noble who is ignorant of my position as a member of the magic guild or that I live with a receptionist of the magic guild or both”
“Yes, but who and why? that question will be answered when these people wake”
“I recommend to strip them naked, they may have something in them that can free them”
“I-i-i I will do that! you go to your room and I will prepare my room to put them there!”
“You will use your room? is not easier to use mine?, my room has fewer things to take out”
“But then we-”
“I will sleep in the living room”
Is the only thing I can do, her room has so many things like herbs, books and papers that it would take a whole day to take them out, on the other hand, mine only has a desk with books my bed and my backpack and since there is no sofa in the house I will need to sleep in the living room, with the furniture broken the room has enough space for my bed, I don't love the idea but is what we can do.
“NO!”
"......"
I have a big headache when I remember the discussion with July about sleeping in the living room, the worst part is that I give in and I sleep with her, it was not that bad, but I was conscious of her body the whole time and it made me nervous until I fall asleep. The next day I go to school since July didn't give me a chance to interrogate the people whose faces I don't know since I never saw them without their masks, July striped them in my room and she didn't let me see them after that. Now I am in going to my first class while pondering why the mask men tried to attack me July.
“July”
“?...oh, Brodus?, hello, how are you doing”
“......Remember when you told me about telling you if a scheme was taking place?”
“......Talk to me after school, now I'm feeling like I will have a headache thanks to you....I'm safe in school?”
“Yes...I'm very sorry”
Yep, a new headache is coming.
