Chapter 66: Games and Magic
"Misako give a quick right hook..." "Haaa!" "Come on that was pathetic harder!" Nawin looks at the garden seeing Hana and Akame helping Misako with some physical training while he and Asia sat down on a bench looking. "Natsuno seems to enjoy being out of the familiar forest for a while" Asia said making Nawin turn to her seeing the sprite dragon sitting on her lap purring ever so often from the blond pettings.
"Being in Familiar forest for his whole life must be boring, it's good you let him out every now and then. It will allow the two of you bond to grow stronger and the stronger the bonds are the more powerful the familiar become" Nawin reply making the blond turn to him "Is that why Hana-san is so strong and close to you... I can sense she's really loyal to you Onii-chan".
"Yes, though Hana is very difference from Natsuno, she used to have previous masters before me but all of them treated her badly like she's a weapon to be used" "Is that why she killed those man and get a bad reputation?" Asia concludes making Nawin nod "Yes, I treat her differently from other previous master and form a tight and close bond with her, she protects me from danger and I will do the same... Remember these words Asia, bonds are hard to build but easy to severe".
"But Onii-chan if bonds can be easy to break... I believe some bonds must be so strong that it can't be broken by even the person's choice, if the people who they form a bond with care for them so much, I believe it can never be broken!" Asia said surprising her brother a bit, before small smile form on his face, Nawin pets the blond hair "You may be right about that Asia...".
Nawin turn is attention back to the three girls, "Hey come on harder!" Hana order looking at the panting pink haired "I-I'm n-not use to this" Misako said and deliver a right hook which Hana catch with her palm. "That's why we're trying to make you get used to it, you need to be able to protect yourself" Akame explain. Misako fire a quick right and left hook catching Hana by surprise and finish it with a quick kick to the head sending the Hydra toward Nawin and Asia.
Nawin stands up and catches the his familiar, he looks up to see a fade pink aura swirling around Misako but it disappears just as quick as it appears. 'That aura... it's the same feeling I felt at Schnyzel's when I'd rescue her'. Misako suddenly falls to the ground making the Makasha put Hana down and dash toward her. Nawin looks closely and sigh in relief to only see that Misako is exhousted instead of the sickness he feared "Akame you mind taking Misako to the kitchen and make her more of those energy drink" "Of course Nawin-kun, here Misako take my hand" Akame help Misako up the stairs and into the building.
Nawin sighs getting back up and looks at the retreating form of the pink haired with stoic face "That actually hurts a bit" Hana stop beside him rubbing her bruise cheek "Something inside her must not have taken your words very well, that's probably why Misako suddenly got a power up" Nawin place his right hand on the green haired cheek, his palm begins to glow in a sparking golden aura making the bruise heal.
Nawin let go of the Hana's cheek and quickly notice her blush face making him chuckle "Don't need to get all fluttered" he smiles and pets the hydra. Hana grits her teeth and swipe the black haired hands away while moving back a few meters. Nawin look at the fluttered green haired with amusement 'A little bit of a tsundere I see' the Makasha smirk a bit.
"I-I think my wounds are completely healed" Hana cough dusting her attire which is a sleeveless green shirt with a black bra covering her breast, the shirt has a red hydra picture place in the center, blue jeans, and black boots with red soles. "Hana I've just notice your attire is a little too... revealing" Nawin points out noticing it showing a lot of skin.
Hana smirk making Nawin sighs knowing what's coming 'She will never learn I will always win this game' "Oh Master are you going to get jealous of humans seeing my sexiness!". Nawin appear in front of Hana making squeak when he places his arms around her shoulder pulling close in "Oh no, I just don't want anyone to see you like that since it only should be for me" he whispers making the green haired blush deeply.
Nawin chuckle a bit and place his index and middle finger at Hana's forehead "Sorry Hana but I won't be losing at this type of games" "I've never expected you to be good at flirting considering your always so stoic and blank master!" Hana points out.
Nawin bring his hand back and smile softly "I'm just full of surprises" he said before turning to see Asia missing from the bench making his eyes widen. "Um Nawin-kun before you destroy the entire place trying to find your sister, she's up there" Akame walk out and points up.
Nawin looks up seeing Asia flying in the sky with Natsuno guiding her using his voice "Gezz always giving me a heart attack that girl" "I do know one thing clear about you Master is that you're really an overprotective brother" Hana smirk making Nawin sends her a usual blank look making the hydra step back a little.
Nawin sighs and shake his head "Sorry... but with Asia in her current condition, I need to keep my eyes close on her, she's too vulnerable, at back home I can relax knowing she's in mother's care but not here".
"How's Misako, Akame?" Nawin ask turning to his knight "She's relaxing on the couch right now" "Master do you have anything planned today?" Hana ask catching the two attention "Yeah anything cool!" Asia lands on the ground holding Natsuno.
"There a big carnival happening this afternoon, a little way outside of Nakashi, so we can head there in a couple of hours" Nawin said summoning a schedule event that he got from one of the hotel staff.
"Didn't we already went to a carnival yesterday?" Hana ask looking inside the building showing dozen of her prize "That's a fair, the two are alike but the main different are that the carnival is much bigger so they will have much more rides, challenge booth, shows, and fancy restaurant".
"Hell yeah, I will win even more prizes!" Hana cheers "Also I will beat your ass in the games again Akame" She smirk pointing at the annoy black haired "I like to see you try it again" "You're on!".
Phenex Estate
Riser groans walking through the long hallway "Why does mother make me wake the stupid Hyoudou up" he mutters and looks at the many doors which hold dozens of rooms "It should be this one I think" The phenex heir stop at the door and knock "Hey! Hyoudou time to get up" he yell but didn't get any respond ticking him off.
Riser slam the door hard "Hey Hyoudou!! Get up before I drag your ass out myself!" after a minute of silence the now piss off Phenex kick the door down and stumps his way in the room, to see Rias standing beside the bed looking at the pass out Issei. Riser stop and look at the crimson haired "What the hell is going on?" he asks making Rias turn "Well with you two late last night spar, he pass out in bed and I can't seem to be able to wake him up".
Riser cross his arm and sigh "Well we should hurry everyone is already in the dining room eating their breakfast" "R-rias stop I can't right now" Issei moans making the two sweat drop "Rias... I have to ask why are you dating this guy?" Riser question making the Gremory glare at him "Better than you!" Riser sighs "Don't need to be harsh, I didn't mean it like you would be better off with me, I'm over that and you should to... I just want to know what makes this guy so special to get your affection?".
Rias glare soften "I don't know... something about Issei just draw me, he may be stupid, clumsy, and a pervert but he have a kind heart and care deeply for his friends, I know he will do anything in the world to protect them all, all the stupid things he does something it's was intended to make the others laugh even though I question him about it, he would always dismiss it telling it was not his intention" Riser listen to the Gremory closely and smile a bit "Well I'm glad you found a person that could make you happy Rias".
Rias face turn into shock hearing the Phenex respond, she can tell he meant it by his tone "So I'm guessing we're friends again, like before" She said making the blond chuckle "Sure just like the day we were young, though even back then we were at each other's throat" The two laugh lightly thinking back at past memories.
"No stop, we can't not another round" Issei mutter ticking Riser off, Rias sighs and turn to the Phenex "Why don't I let you handle this, your better in this than me" Riser smirk creaking his hands "It will be my pleasure".
Kitchen
"KYAAAAA!!" Everyone stop eating when a girlish scream rings from the hallway "I sense someone just got punch in the privates" Xenovia mutter eating her bowl of cereal "What makes you say that Xenovia?" Yuuto turns to her "Because that scream is from a male and the only way a male would scream like that if they got hit there".
"Are you an idiot or something, that's a girl's scream" Ravel reply rudely making Xenovia glare at her "Fine I bet you in a minute the pervert will walk into this room" Ravel smirk and the two shake hand "Deal" "Well this is interesting, what's the price then?" Kokoro ask.
"The feeling of winning" The two reply making others sweat drop "That's not even a prize" Koneko mutter eating her chocolate chip cookies. The group here footstep coming making them turn "Ahhhhh" Issei walks in groaning in pain, holding his crutch.
"And I win" Xenovia smirk while Ravel clench her fist making fire erupt around though she quickly dispels before it could burn the table "Short temper as always" Koneko comment looking at her side making Ravel glare at her "Be quiet and continue eating the cookie" the white haired lips form a small smirk before taking another bite from one of her favorite snacks.
Kokoro look with amusement as her king take a seat next to her "Wake up in the wrong side of the bed I presume" she said "Shush give me peace" he replies making her chuckle. Rias and Riser walk in, the Gremory take a seat next to Issei while Riser seats next to his sister "Bastard!" Issei glare at the smirking Phenex "Next time don't be a heavy sleeper, you should've woken up when Rias did it, her way is more gentle then mines".
"I would love to see the Phenex try to wake Nawin-kun up" Xenovia mutter to Yuuto who chuckle and nod "That would be interesting". "Are we doing anything today?" Kokoro ask "I... have no idea" Rias said sheepishly making everyone face palm "You are still hopeless coming with a plan aren't you" Riser comment "HEY!".
Sutgica
In a quiet clean grass field, Akeno can be seen standing in the middle, eyes close, suddenly dozens of light lances shoot down toward her from all direction. Akeno eyes snap open, she thrust both her arms to the side creating a strong air wave blasting all the lances away. Akeno jumps up and grabs one of the lances, "There you are!" She sense Azazel magic signature and fires the lance to the ground making the Fallen angel explode from the earth and back flip dodging the sharp weapon.
Azazel look up seeing Akeno on top delivering a drop kick making him jump backwards so her feet come contact to the ground instead, making it explode leaving a gigantic crater. 'Woah her new strength is incredible, her speed also has increase exponentially after absorbing the Nephilim powers and with the queen piece being a booster her strength and speed has increased more than tenfold' Akeno bring her foot out and get into a stance.
Azazel get into his stance seeing white lighting spark around the raven haired body, she thrust her right hand forward sending a quick white lighting blast shocking him 'Shit it's too fast' Azazel jumps back and flips narrowly dodging the blast, he gets back to his feet to only receive a hard right hook sending him through a tree.
'Goodness she's not kidding around' Azazel groans rubbing his cheek currently laying on the ground, Azazel gets back up and see Akeno smirking, she gets back to her stance and jumps around a bit before stopping then gives a motion to bring it on making the fallen angel raise his eyebrow 'Seems like her personality is fused with the Nephilim... but it doesn't seem to take its bad personality traits, that's good'.
Azazel chuckle "Ok I guess we can take his to the next level" "About time Oldman" Akeno reply as white electric aura explode around her same goes with Azazel release his own aura making a dense purple magic swirl around him.
Outside of Nakashi
"Umm Nawin-kun where are the others" Misako ask being carried on the Makasha's back as the two stop by his bike "They already went ahead to the carnival" Nawin reply placing the pink haired down on the back seat.
Nawi feel a sudden gust of wind blowing pass him, heading to the carnivore direction making his eyes narrow. "Hey freeze!" a voice said making the two turn to see a middle age man, wearing all black matching his black hair and craze brown eyes but what's the most noticeable thing is a revolver on his right hand pointing at Nawin.
Misako silently gasp in terror while Nawin look at the man blankly 'Hahaha that stupid equipment those human calls gun is pathetic!' Tairex laughs 'Brother it can still hurt Nawin-kun, his skin isn't made of scales like ours' Sairex reply though was ignored.
Nawin raise his eyebrow looking at the man "So are you just going to stand there all day pointing that gun at me or say something" he said making Misako look at him wide eyes while the man grips the revolver tighter "You know smart asses are the one that usually dies first".
The man snaps the hammer backwards readying to fire "Give me your wallets along with that nice bike... a Ducati superbike huh that's fast and very expensive one" he smirk "P-please don't s-shoot we didn't do anything wrong" Misako stutter making the man point the gun at her "SHUT IT!!" he yells making the pink haired flinch.
"Sorry but I don't carry my wallet around" Nawin comment catching the man attention returning his gun to the Makasha range "Huh I might as well just kill you and loot it from your dead body". Nawin sighs and check his watch "Just shot the damn gun already" he said shocking the two.
"IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FINE DIEEE!!" The robber fires a bullet, Nawin looks at the bullet though in his vision the bullet was moving slower which gives him plenty of time to dodge 'Or' Nawin catch the bullet using his right hand shocking the two but mostly the human.
"N-no way!" He yells before firing more round until it's empty "I-Impossible!" the man stutter taking a few step back seeing Nawin caught all the bullets. "Misako close your eyes and ears now" Misako notice the serious tone making her complies. Nawin eyes glow red freezing the human on spot "W-what?!" he stutters finding himself hard to talk "You stupid mortal, thinking foolish crime like this is a right thing" Nawin throw the bullets on the ground except for the last one which he holds between the index and middle finger.
"Petty attempt, you've just destroyed your one-time life for participating this crime" Nawin throws the bullet right thought the man's chest narrowly missing his heart "Ahhhhh!!" his pain scream echoes the forest. Nawin lift his right hand up making the man start flouting in the air "Be gone and perish!".
"Nawin-kun stop!" Misako shouts freezing the black haired in his movement and turns to see the pink haired looking at him with tears falling down her eyes "Your n-never t-this mean" she stutters.
Nawin eyes widen when he noticing the mark is spreading over half his face, 'No the mark! I didn't even notice it' Nawin quickly release the man making him fall to the ground, he grabs his neck feeling the mark starting to spread "Ahhh!"
"Nawin-kun!!" Misako quickly jump down seeing the black haired collapse to his knees.
'Sairex! What's going on?!' 'I don't know Nawin-kun, I sense something in the area is reacting with the mark' Nawin facial expression turn shock 'Is it her?!' he quickly scans the forest but couldn't spot anything. 'Do you want to help him?' a soft voice whisper in Misako mind startling her 'Huh whose there?' 'Never mind that child, I said do you want to help your friend' Misako look at the black haired in pain gripping his neck tightly 'Yes I'll do anything' 'Mhm that what I like to hear, place your hand over the mark on his neck'.
"Nawin-kun please remove your hand from the mark" Misako said making the black haired turn to him surprise "No Misako this power is too dark and dense, you don't know one thing about it!" "Please!" she begs making the Makasha pause before removing his hand.
Nawin feels Misako hand touch the mark suddenly the pain stop shocking him, he glances back seeing her hand glow in beautiful sparking pink aura, her eyes flash between sapphire and pink. The mark starts to recede back to the main symbol on his neck.
After a minute pass the mark is depressed back to its normal state, Nawin take a deep breath that he didn't know he was holding and turn to Misako seeing her tired state. Nawin stands back up and carry the pink haired on his arms then place her back on his bike, he turns to the man seeing him still laying on the ground 'Mhm he's going to die soon if that wounds aren't treated'.
Nawin made his way toward the barely conscious man and place a hand on his shoulder "I'll teleporting you to a hospital, you will be treated there but" Nawin right eyes begin to shine red "If you ever think of committing a crime again, you will head to jail for life am I clear" the man's pupils glow green and nod "Yes Master" "Good" with that said Nawin teleport the man away to a hospital in Kuoh which he had visited a few time and place a seal there just in case of emergency.
"I...I-I did it" Nawin turn to see Misako smiling surprising him slightly "You idiot, you shouldn't use your power yet, it could bring the sickness back" Nawin mutter kneeling down to the pink haired level "B-but it was worth it, if I could ease your pain I would do it again" she reply surprising the Makasha before a small smile spread on his face "Mhm even in your state, you still have the willpower to help others... you really are something Misako just like Asia" Nawin pets the Ichiru and gets on the bike "Come on we should head out, don't want to get there too late for the carnival do we?" "Yeah!" Misako smile brightly making Nawin laugh lightly seeing the pink haired back to full energy just by mentioning the carnival.
Phenex Estate
"WHATTTTT!!!" A loud shout explodes from the Phenex's mansion, Riser look at the Gremory annoy rubbing his ears "Gezz keep it down, my ears might start bleeding" "Your joking right Phenex?!" Issei ask making the Ravel raise her eyebrow "Why would we joke about that?" "Because... there's already enough devil's in school and we don't need YOU JOINING, TOO MUCH DEVIL'S" Issei shouts.
"It's actually my idea" Lady Phenex walk in the living room making everyone turn to her "Lately all Riser does is train, so I thought putting him in Kuoh Academy may help him relax, plus you guys seem to be getting along just fine, Riser just need more friends that all" she smiles making Issei blush.
"Issei-kun if I remember correctly you used to complained about having less boy's in the occult club, this will solve the problem wouldn't it" Yuuto point out making the brown haired glare at him "I never said that!" "Are you sure because I could have sworn I heard the same thing yesterday?" Xenovia ask raising an eyebrow.
Riser lean in the couch and smirk "Indeed looks like you've got a new boy member Hyoudou" Rias sighs rubbing her forehead "Great more paperwork I have to sign it's getting a little crowded in the club now". "Rias your family is rich, couldn't you oh I don't know build it bigger?" Kokoro said like it was the most obvious answer making the Gremory finger twitch "No I like the current design, but Riser is it only you or also your peerage?" Rias ask turning to her childhood friend.
"Only myself and Ravel, we're not staying there and graduate like you, this is more for social reason and probably to get away from home since Mom always get annoyed with us staying home all the time" Riser reply "One thing I don't understand is why do I have to go, Okaa-sama I already am homeschooled?" Ravel question "Yes but I also want you two to explore the human world a bit, Riser it's been over 5 years since you've last been there not counting visiting Rias a few months ago while Ravel you only been one time and it's when you were just a baby".
"Plus I also want you and Rias to get a long again" Lady Phenex smile clapping her hands together "You two were such good friends before so this will give you two a good opportunity to get a long again, as friends of course don't worry Rias" she said noticing the Gremory look.
"Be careful pervert, the Phenex might steal your girlfriend" Xenovia elbow the brown haired smirking making him glare at her "You always have to agitate me don't you and I don't like that you're picking it up from Nawin".
Sutgica
"I think that's enough for today Akeno" Azazel lower himself to the ground, he looks around to see the once normal forest is now nothing but a gigantic death crater and burnt grass, "Why I can keep going?" Akeno lands on the ground as the white aura disperse and disappear.
"Yes but if we continue it will put a huge strain in your body, which means tomorrow you will in a rude awakening of pain and won't be able to get out of bed" Azazel explain making the raven haired nod as she begins stretching her body to keep it warm up.
Azazel look at the raven haired closely 'Unbelievable... in just a one short day absorbing the Nephilim power and turning it to her own, her power skyrocket to Ultimate class... maybe even close to Satan-class but she still need practice before reaching that kind of level'.
Akeno finish her work out and slam her palms together making the ground beneath creak "Control yourself Akeno, that aura around you is dangerous... any human that is a meter close to you will be vaporize" Azazel warn.
Akeno look at her hands seeing white visible aura swirling around "I never knew the Nephilim is this powerful" Azazel chuckle a bit crossing his arms "There was a reason why they were all killed. The Angel's and Devil's were afraid that a hybrid of the two being could become more powerful than them so they killed all the Nephilim population before it could become bigger".
"With this power can I..." Akeno mutters quietly though Azazel didn't hear it "You said something?" she shake her head "No nothing, just hungry" "Good it's lunch time anyway so let's head back to Sutgica" "Mhm".
Time Skip
"Thanks for visiting us... your order will be ready in a few minute" the waiter smile at the two but before he leaves, he sends a flirty wink at Akeno who completely ignore him to busy looking at the bracelet. Azazel sweat drop seeing the depress teen walking away probably feeling his ego damage, "You sure order a lot, five bowl of beef ramen" he said turning to the raven haired.
Akeno look up letting go of the bracelet "Don't know... feel hungry all of a sudden" Azazel eyes narrow knowing somethings wrong 'Seems like she has a lot in her mind...'. "Akeno... what's wrong?" "Nothing..." Azazel sighs crossing his arm "It won't help you if you just keep it inside, we need you focus on the training for a couple of days and I don't need you to lose concentration and become unfocused in the middle of training... so tell me what's wrong?".
"It's personal Azazel, I don't need you to butt in my business" Akeno mutters with annoyance making the adult raise his eyebrow "Personal huh so it must involve my godson, Nawin am I right" he said making Akeno look to the side giving Azazel the answer.
"Look Akeno... I may not know what's going on between the two of you but you need to understand Nawin is not a normal person like the others... his huh... he carries a lot of burden on his shoulders more than you can ever realize, his life was not always easy just like yours, it's one of the reasons why you two bonded very well knowing what it feels like losing someone you loved, you need to stop judging him, thinking that he doesn't love you, believe me, he loves you more than words could express the problem is it's hard for him to show it" Azazel look that Akeno seeing her shoulder shaking signaling she must be crying "Don't cry" Azazel smile and place his head on her head giving it a soft rub "I know you and I don't get along completely well because of the past but I will help you on anyway ... you just need to ask".
Akeno wipes her tear as a small smile spread on her face "Y-yeah, I'm just so s-scared... so scared that he would stop caring about me... I don't know w-what I would do if that happen". Azazel bring his hand back seeing the waiter comes back and place their food on the table the leaves "Don't worry Akeno, I'm positive something like that would never happen, for now focus on the present and not the what if, you don't know what the future have installed for you and the others, focus on getting stronger that's the important thing right now and it's the reason why I'm here" Akeno takes a chopsticks and break it in two "Yeah I know don't worry I'll focus solely on my training, I know that's what Nawin-kun would want" She smile before devouring her rumens making Azazel chuckle.
Phenex Estate
"Ohhhh I just schooled your ass Phenex!!!" Issei smirk holding his controller up while Riser throws his to the wall causing it to shambles into pieces "You need to sign yourself for an anger management club" Xenovia commend "Shut it woman!" Riser retorts making the blue haired smirk "Onii-sama you've already broken five controllers" Ravel point at the pile of broken controls "Shit... whatever we can buy another one".
Rias who lays on of the couch sighs in boredom 'Need to think of something to spice things up a bit' the red haired thought as her mischievous side starts to kick in. "It's your fault Hyoudou, you cheated!!" Riser accuse making Issei slam his forehead to the Phenex's "Hey! It's not my fault that you suck at video games" "I may not be good at video games but I can sure as hell kick your ass in real life" "Love to see you try pal the result will be different this time!!".
"OH FOR FUCK SAKE SHUUTTT UPPP!!!!" A voice explodes around the Phenex Manner, scaring everyone to death before they turn to see Lucy standing in front of the living room door "Gezz I came here to relax after a tiresome day but what I'm met with is you two morons bickering like a child".
"You dare call me a child, I'll show you!" Riser speed toward the blond with his fist aim to her face but before it could connect, Lucy send a back hand to Riser's face making him fly out the window. The room turn silent as the group stare at the blond Makasha in shock at her strength which Lucy notice "Oh stop with the look, I don't feel like explaining!" she replies adding a little more force into her tone making everyone quiet.
Rias notice a couple of bandage place on the blonde's arms, hands, and cheek 'Hmm must be some crazy training she's putting herself through, not surprising, Nawin-kun's training session is downright insane so it must go the same for his sister'
"So are you guys doing anything or just sitting here, I came here because I sensed all your magic signatures?" Lucy ask taking a seat next to Xenovia who answers "Nothing... we've just been sitting here for the past hour watching the pervert beating Riser's ass in video games". "You guys should do something then instead of sitting around look miserable, if my brother was here he would spice things up".
Issei stands up "Fine! We shall go to the beach!" he yells catching everyone's attention "No we're not" Rias counters "Why?" Kokoro ask "Because I've already have plans for the future involving that and it's not good we're going there without everyone present, it won't be fun and not fair for Nawin-kun, Akeno and the others not being there". Rias send Lucy a look telling her to go outside, "We will be right back" Rias said walking out of the room with Lucy.
When the two are far away from the hearing range, Rias turn behind to the blond who have her arms backwards relaxing "So you have something planned, I can see mischevious clear in your eyes Rias" Lucy points out making the crimson haired smirk "Yes let's spice things up a bit and I will need your help for this" Lucy smirk "Sure I've been dying to let loss and have some fun anyway".
Carnivore
"... You have got to be kidding me" Nawin looks blankly at the scene in front of him which shows an annoyed Akame holding a smiling Asia hands who is next to her but what got his attention the most is Hana whose grinning eating a cotton candy with a pile of stuff plush, toys and other stuff behind her.
"I... tried to stop her Nawin-kun" Akame said "Oh I'm sure you did" Nawin reply dully seeing another pile of toys behind the black haired back "Sorry Master but you were taking too long so we decided to go on ahead". Nawin eyes harden, glaring at the green haired making her squeak and hides behind the mountain of stuff prizes.
"Wait!!" Hana lift her hands up from the pile "Before you do anything Master, you should know I beat Akame by 68 to 64!" Nawin sweat drop while Akame clench her fist "You... did you two play on all the stands twice?!" Hana pop her head up and grins "We sure did!" Hana pale seeing her master glare and hides back down behind the pile.
Akame blinks a couple of time to see the glare directed to her "Your also in trouble my dear knight, I thought I remembered telling you keep her under control" Nawin said crossing his arm waiting for an explanation. "Busted!" Hana pop her head up and grins before pulling back down.
Akame scratch her head before giving a small smile "Well I was having a lot of fun and forgot about that" Nawin shake his head but smiles since he is glad the girls are having fun. Hana pop out of the pile "Yeah and you see what happen was we got hooked after just one game, it quickly turns into a competition and as you can see I've won" she said proudly.
"Yes I can see that... now then we should head to the magic show that's starting in ten minutes" Nawin said catching the girl's attention "Oh Magic!" Hana smiles with stars in her eyes "But before we can go, I need to teleport all this stuff back to Nakashi, we can't carry them around" Nawin looks around to see no one is in the area probably already at the other shows.
After a minute of teleporting the two pile of prizes back Nawin turn to the Akame and Hana "You two aren't allow to play in anymore booth" 'Whattt!" Hana whines while Akame shrugs "I've already won enough prizes Nawin-kun" "Indeed you have Akame and don't give me that look Hana, Misako haven't played any, also I don't want you to empty all the prizes for other kids" Nawin reply noticing the green haired giving him the poppy eyes but she sighs and nod "I understands... plus I think I've won enough prizes as well" "That's an understatement" Akame comment.
"Come on we should head to the show before there's no seat left" Nawin begin to walk but first he stops beside Akame and takes Asia hands "I'll take Asia now and thanks for looking after her Akame" "Of course Nawin-kun" Akame smiles "Let's hurry up!" Hana dash forward making the others sigh before following the green haired.
Time Skip
"May I have a brave person to be my assistance for this dangerous trick!" Nawin sighs looking at the stage seeing a middle age man whose dress in generic magician clothes, he along with a girl are in a fancy restaurant with a magical show happening 'Not what I expected but it's good we have our own table and not needing to share with others'.
"Oh me, me, me!!!" Hana wave her hand up in the air "Well ok young lady, come on up and stand in this coffin" The man smile holding a saw as Hana enters in making the assistance woman close the door.
"Onii-chan why is Hana participating on getting herself cut in half?" Asia ask with worry making Nawin chuckle a bit while Akame and Misako giggle at the blond innocent question "Don't worry Asia, it's called a magic show for a reason, the magician will do some tricks so Hana will be fine" "Oh ok!".
Nawin turn back at the stage to see Hana waving at them before entering the coffin leaving only her head and feet shown while her whole body is covered in. "Now ladies and gentleman pay attention as I cut this girl in half but the end result is not what you will expect" The man places his saw at the midsection of Hana's body and begin to cut.
A lot of people look in anxious seeing the saw cutting through half way but Hana isn't screaming as they were expecting. "I was hoping she would be cut in half" Akame comment eating her tuna salad "Waaa Akame-san you can't say that about your friend" Misako and Asia reply in union making the black haired sweat drop "It was a joke though it would be more entertaining".
"Tada!" the man spits the coffin in half showing Hana's split body though her toes are still moving while a she grins "That tickles" the people start to claps and cheers while some vomit. Nawin smile a bit seeing how cheerful and free spirit his familiar has come compare to the first time he met her 'She used to be nervous and unsure of things but her upbeat and playful personality always shine through, it's good to see she's finally able to relax around me and the others' 'Ohh ain't that sweet of you kid" Tairex said sarcastically 'You really are an evil dragon who just want to see the world ends don't you?' 'You know me so well kid, maybe one day you would want the similar things' the dragon chuckle darkly before cutting the link off.
"How does he do that?!" Misako look in awe "Ohw I wish I could see it" Asia pouts making Nawin smile sadly and pets the blond haired "Don't worry Asia, I promise when we get your eyesight back we will visit here again" "Really?!" the small girl turns to her brother smiling happily "Of course I'll do anything to make my little sister happy".
Akame smile seeing the two sibling 'It's still unusual seeing Nawin-kun showing this affection toward specific people, his family must really mean a lot to him...'. "And now ladies and gentleman, I shall now put this lady body back together which is very simple" the man grab Hana's lower half and slid it back in with the higher up "And that is it" he opens the coffin allowing Hana to stand back up looking completely fine making the crowd cheers.
"Ah ha did you see that!" Hana jumps back in her seat grinning with excitement "That was amazing Hana-san" Misako claps "Yeah though the outcome is a little bit of a disappointment" Akame comment making the green haired turn to her and smirk "Ohhh is someone still angry about losing the earlier challenges" Hana tease making Akame send a dark glare at her.
Nawin chuckle a bit "Come on girls no fighting and Hana good show, I was half expecting you to break out of that coffin when he starts sawing you in half" Hana smirk and give him a peace sign "Nothing can scare me plus it will take a lot more than cutting my body in half to kill" "So behead you would work better... I'll keep that in mind" Akame comment taking a bite of her salad while Hana sweat drop "Gezz I really upset you didn't I" "Mhm".
Nawin smile at the girls seeing them having fun but suddenly a hand grab his shoulder making him turn to see a cloak figure looking down at him. He can't pinpoint who it is with the hood shadowing the person's face "May I help you" he ask turning blank telling the person to let go of his shoulder which they did "I need to talk to you in private Nawin Makasha" a soft deep feminine voice said.
'That voice... it sounds familiar' Nawin turn back to see the girls happily chatting with each other, they probably won't notice him going missing for a few minute. "Fine let's head outside" Nawin stands up and walk out with the cloak figure following behind him.
Outside the Restaurant
"Now that we are in an empty location take down that hood, I don't like talking to people who likes to hide their identity" Nawin said leaning against the wall, arms cross. "Hehehe I guess you don't Nawin-kun" the figure takes off their hood showing Irina surprising the Makasha slightly.
"Well that's a surprise, you did well masking your voce back there Irina" Nawin smile happy to see the brown haired "Yep I have to since my stealth missions would require me to learn a lot of different skills with changing your voice being one of them".
"I see, so I'm curious how's life in heaven like and being an angel?" Nawin ask making Irina chuckle, scratching her head "It was hard, when I first become an angel by Lady Gabriel it was training all day, every day since I need to get my body used to the holy magic but thankfully my Excalibur training that I got from Italy church help me a lot, so I was able to pass that session quiet quickly".
"Yeah I can see you gain some muscle and strength, I bet Xenovia will be proud" Nawin smile making Irina blush a bit form the compliment "Yeah... after finishing that session Lady Gabriel start training me on awaken my angel powers, each angels actually have a unique holy weapons, it can be range to a close quarters weapons like swords and axes or mine a long range weapon which is a bow but also I can use lances since that a standard weapons all angels are able to use".
"I have to say I'm amaze your learning from someone such as Lady Gabriel... if I'm correct isn't she named as the strongest woman in heaven?" Nawin ask in interest "Yes! I was so amaze by how powerful she was, the first time I felt her power she immediately made me feel like an insect, I thought feeling Kokabiel power was crazy but after feeling Lady Gabriel... she makes someone like him look like a new born baby in power" Irina said with admiration which Nawin quickly catch 'Hmm... Lady Gabriel as Irina role model that is sure interesting and quiet a good fitting... Gabriel from what I learn about her she is known to be very kind and gentle almost seem like a person who shouldn't be in a battle... if I remember correctly Azazel said that she was a little naïve and clumsy also... the two definitely have somethings in common'.
Nawin shake his head and turn his attention back at Irina "So I'm guessing your enjoying your time at heaven correct" "Yes though the down side is that I don't really have a lot of friends there, I really only spend most of my time either on training, missions or with Lady Gabriel" Irina reply a little sad "You do know you can come visit me and the others at times" Nawin comment making the brown haired look up a little surprise "Maybe cut the training down a little and spend time with your friends in Kuoh, I don't know if Michaels allow it but it's worth a try hmm" "Yeah I guess your right as usual".
Nawin expression harden a bit "But Irina why are you here exactly? Is there something wrong" Irina nod turning serious "Yes I'm currently on a mission for a rouge angel that have recently fallen from grace. I followed his trial and it lead me here, I was able to catch your magic signature so that how we met" "I see... do you need any help?" Nawin offers though Irina shakes her head "No I'll be fine... it's nothing to serious really, I've been on more dangerous missions".
Nawin notice knows that a lie making his eyes narrow "Irina tell me the truth about this mission?" the brown haired eyes widen slightly but not really surprise since the first time she met the Makasha, she knows he has the ability to read people like a book or at least knows how to catch a lie easily.
Irina sighs "Well the mission is more complicated, it's actually an ongoing mission which have to be pick up since the last person who took it... disappeared". Nawin listen carefully "Who is this angel missing at the assignment?" "Dulio Gesualdo" the expression of shock quickly form on the Makasha face "Wait your taking a mission that dangerous which is ordinarily meant for someone like Dulio... Irina you better give me good reason why Michael is sending you on another suicide mission or I'm going to heaven myself and ask him!" Nawin said with anger clear in his tone as his eyes glow red shocking Irina never knowing the black haired cares this much.
Irina quickly reply before the black haired could move "Nawin-kun please it's not what you think, the mission isn't as dangerous as it would seem, the reason why Master Dulio was assign to it is because at that time he was the closest person to the rouge angel but after a few days Michael-sama didn't get any news and decide to send me to finish the mission while he sends a couple of other angles to find Master Dulio".
Nawin eyes flash back to normal 'A person like Dulio Gesualdo, the heaven trump card just disappeared like that?... somethings wrong it can't have anything to do with the rouge angel who should be no problem for someone as powerful as Dulio, could he have been attack by someone much stronger?'. Nawin turn his attention back at Irina seeing serious expression showing him that she's not nervous for the mission "I see... well Irina take this with you then" Nawin pass a special ring similar to the one he gave to Hana and Akame.
"Wear this ring and if you ever need my help, put some of your power in it and I'll be there in a flash" Irina take the ring and slid it on her index finger, she looks up and smile "Thanks, is nice to know I'll have someone help when I'm in most need but don't worry Nawin-kun, I don't want to feel like a girl who needs help, I've taken over dozens of missions and succeed in all of them without any help".
"I know your strong but be careful understand, I don't want to lose a close friend" Nawin reply making Irina nod as she pulls her hood up "Well I'll hopefully see you again Nawin-kun" "Of course you will just don't forget to visit alright?" Irina smile and give the peace sign "I would never forget... bye" Nawin close his eyes briefly as the brown haired disappear in a bright golden light.
Nawin reopen his eyes to see an empty space where Irina used to be, he sighs and lean out the wall "... Huh things just have to get more and more complicated" Nawin pulls out a black rose from his jacket then spins it a couple of times before suddenly throws it to a tree "Hisss!".
Nawin turn to see a black snake pin to a tree by the rose "Hmm" he looks at the snake darkly and snaps his finger making the rose bloom in black flames, disintegrating the animal into dust, "I hate eavesdropper".
