"Woah this place is even bigger than my last house Seki."

"Yeah it really is."

"I'm going to check up stairs Seki."

"Alright"

Wow Shinko's mom must be pretty amazing to have done this before we even got back and she's also the principle of a magic school so that's something too.

Bark

"So you like it too huh little guy."

"Hey Seki get up here!"

"Alright I'm coming up…. Yeah what's up?"

"My mom even got you your own room too, Isn't that great."

"Are you sure this room is mine?"

"Of course it is, hers is down the hall and mine is across from here and there's too bathrooms as well one down to the right over there and one downstairs."

Well I guess I won't be leaving as soon as I thought even her mom has taken initiative.

"Wow, how did your mom even know?"

"Well I did tell her that's how you got enrolled but even I'm not sure how she knew you were still going to be here."

"Well, it seems like your mom is a smart lady Shinko."

She also knows alot.

“Yep!”

“Well, Seki I’m going to go take a shower after I take a better look around.”

“Alright then I’ll be downstairs for a bit.”

“Ok”

Creek

Even though this isn’t the same place and it’s a bit bigger everything seems to be the same although it’s not like I knew much anyways. Hmmm there's stuff in the fridge and cabinets, well I might as well make dinner, it’s getting pretty late.

“Let’s see, I can make some rice and croquettes. The ingredients are in here so I hope she can eat it.”

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Hew, Alright now that that’s done I’m going to go use the bathroom.. Wait which one is Shinko in? If I walk into the wrong one that could be very bad, well not really for me because I would be able to see the heavens blessing. Damnit well Shinko did say she was going to take a shower and the shower down here isn’t on so…

Clack

O-h Oh sh*t WRONG DOOR AFTERALL. If I look at it from here though Shinko has a rather slim waist and her chest is bigger than I thought and her wet hair looks so silky and smooth, oh crap she looks like she's about to hit me, I have to do something quick.

“Shinko listen”

“Huh”

“This was an accident I swear! You said you were going to take a shower so I thought the water would be running if you were.”

Damn it, why am I bowing like this is. This is my chance, I need to sneak in one last peak. one , two, and pea- AHHHHHH

THUD

Ouch my back what the heck she just shot some type of water incantation at me, wait no it wasn’t an incantation was it? I didn’t hear her saying anything but more importantly I’m all wet now too. I’ll just go change really quick then.

Ah I should apologize for earlier, though it wasn’t entirely my fault.

“Seki!”

Is she calling me from downstairs? I guess she must have changed already then.

“Coming”

Well she's just sitting on the couch I guess I should sit next to her and apologize… Here goes

“Sorry!”

“Sorry!”

Heh, am I hearing an echo or did she just say sorry the same time I did? Woah she's blushing her face is all red again cute.

“Sorry Seki I should have told you sooner that I was actually going to take a bath, I am sorry!”

“No it’s not your fault, I should have made sure you weren’t in there.”

“Still, I have to make it up to you… What would you like to eat?”

Woah she just leaned in with her pajamas, I can almost see them.

“Oh I almost forgot I actually made something already.”

“You did? You can cook Seki.”

“Yeah, my mom was usually gone some time on the weekdays so I learned to cook for my little sister so that whenever our mom wasn’t home she could have home cooked meals.”

“Wow Seki you sound like a sweet big brother.”

“Heh heh not really, sit at the table I can bring it out.”

“Alright”

I hope she likes it, it is just croquettes and rice with a side salad but I think I made it right although I haven’t actually cooked anything in a while.

Clank

“Woah you made croquettes, these used to be my favorite, they look good.”

“Let’s eat”

“Let’s eat”

Haaa after the food and bath I feel so relaxed, I guess I should go to sleep now though, we have another day of magic school. I still can’t really rap my head around the whole concept but basically all you have to do is identify the element you want to use and how you want to use it, like how to get to the school we had to say “Illusion departure”.

I am assuming that means an Illusion is a form of an element and departure means to disappear or leave so we basically erased the fake image that was there and we were able to go through the tree.

“That reminds me Shinko didn’t say an incantation though like at school.”

Knock Knock

“Seki are you awake?”

“Uh yeah, come in”

I wonder what Shinko wants, it’s getting pretty late…. Oh, she's sitting on the bed too?

“Umm I wanted to talk about earlier Seki.”

“Earlier? Oh no don’t worry about it, we already solved that problem.”

“Not that I mean when I attack you with my incantation.”

Oh, when she released a water attack without saying an incantation, I was wondering about that.

“Yeah that attack was kind of strange but nothing new to be honest. Although I thought you had to say an incantation to perform a spell.”

“Well that is true, but while I did say the spell I didn’t say it out loud.”

She didn’t say it out loud?

“Seki I am sure you will learn this technique sooner rather than later seeing as Ms.Saito has taken a liking to you.”

She has?

“The incantation I made was in my head, that's why you were unable to hear it Seki.”

“In your head that seems easy.”

“It’s not, only a select few of students at our school can do it and they have all gone to join the Cleanup Crew.”

No way… So she's saying that she's basically as strong as the top people at our school.

“Well sorry to bother you Seki but thats all I wanted to say, I would like to teach you but I would probably get in trouble for that, goodnight.”

‘Goodnight”

For some reason Shinko almost seemed like a different person there almost like when she was sparring earlier. Maybe I’m reading too much into whatever I should get some sleep, I don’t like waking up in the morning.

If it’s the only way to find who destroyed my planet along with my mom and sister I’ll do it… I’ll Join the Cleanup Crew no matter what!
