Playtime with Troubles
*Note Italic for the whispering part. Enjoy!* * Could''ve told this earlier!* Sauvel''s POV "You found something?" I called out to Kevin. "No! Nothing here! Seems like her room is almost as empty as my wallet!" He replies with some joke in it, it''s hard to believe that such person did confront me, turned me around of my strayed paths. "Uh- H-Hey! I found something you may want to take a look!" "What is it Tim?" I stood from my crouching position. I walk to them, I look at a box in Tim''s hand, the box is a grey wooden box with the golden carving of two goddesses holding hands together, one has the demonic bat-like wing while the other has a feathery wing. I don''t recognize them, I''m fond of the religion anyway. "She has this all along? I don''t remember her having it." Kevin mumble quietly, but I heard it. So he doesn''t know. "H-How do we do? Do we hand this to master?" Tim nervously speaks, he doesn''t know how to proceed. "Oh no! You don''t want her to get mad at you, and by I mean mad. She gonna kill you for sure." "She may not seem like that but trust me, even master Louis had a hard time arguing with her." I raise my eyebrow at the detail, she really that scary? I then focus on the box that Tim was holding. "Let me have a look." Tim reluctantly holds the box out for me, I take it. It surprised me that this box is so heavy, i don''t know what makes it this heavy. "I''ll open it." I speak. They turn to me, worries were written on their faces. "B-But! Is it okay to open it? I mean! We don''t know it''s her or it''s other." Before I can open the box, Tim interrupted. I nod and look at him. "If it''s her, then it should be opened. I have a premonition so. We open it." "Th-That is unreasonable!" "It may be her uh? "Privacy" thingy!" They have a mixed feeling, especially Kevin whose face is bright red now. "Whatever, I''ll open this box. If it''s was what the master was searching. Then there should be okay." "And she herself told us only not to search her cabinet or dresser." "..." They have no word for me. I then look at the heavy box that I was holding. I slowly open it. That! Something underneath that cloth! I carefully lift the cloth up, revealing two crystal bottles. Was that some kind of artifact? I take them out of the box and place them on the floor. "What are these?" "This is somehow familiar." Two bottles contain something, a capsule-like medicine, one is green, and the other is blue. There is still something in the box but I need to make clear on these bottles first. Maybe she having an illness or something necessary for her. "Oh, I remembered what these are." Kevin claps his hand. I could see a light bulb above his head awhile and it now disappeared as fast as it appears. "Mei, she is having an illness called "Mana equilibrium collapse", so she needs it to stabilize her mana." Oh, so that was the truth. I was told since when my grandfather still present, that illness has hardly occurred. They are so rare that it''s not even in the doctor''s treatment list. Only a handful that could treat that illness, my grandfather included. He told me that he was once treated a hero who diagnosed with this illness, he was desperate to be treated. My grandfather, he treated the hero. But the cause of his illness is his power, he holds to much power, too much that he could become an overlord if not he was diagnosed with this illness. Is she the same as him? The hero? I had an eye on her for quite some time now. It now makes more sense now that I could felt enormous energy from her. I take the bottles and place them carefully in the box. Covering it with the cloth and close the box. "But, I don''t know she kept this many medicines. Maybe "she" the one who sent her...." She what? I couldn''t hear what was he mumbling. But let''s leave her room for now. I place the box where it once was. I stood and gestured them to follow. I could feel her furious aura even here. We left the room just in time and evade the impending doom. ___________________________ Mei''s POV ''Hey! Hey! Hey! Mei~! Calm down, please? I mean you''re not overreacting right~? He''s nothing to you right~?'' Purin-Chan! Do not protect that man! You did feel it right? That tone of him! Who does he think he is! I mean he''s already powerful as a noble and knight but! He could''ve not been that arrogant! He treated me as if I was hostage! Because of the blessing! ''Uh Oh! Do not blame me please~! It is my concern~! If you go on archiving your dream while having zeros way to survive in this world, not by the cooking of course~! So I split my power to you~ As I told, part of me is part of you and so do you~'' Hmph! Yes yes yes! I understand that! I despised that guy and that will not change. Anyway! What time is it? ''Yes yes~! You so angry that you''ve lost the track of time~?'' ''It is 11:00~! Better get ready for lady Wiela''s arrival soon~'' Boring! Urgh! I still have some time left before her arrival, I could prepare for her arrival fine, in half an hour. I walk up the stair, make my way to my room. They better not piss me off, I told them to not search cabinet and dresser. If they insist! I''ll make sure to smack them well! *Cleak!* I open the door to my room, the same room I used to wake up this past four days, and today. ''Yes~! It is a boring room~! You could use some decoration in here~'' Complain to that guy! It is not a servant''s right to demand from her master, and I will not acknowledge him as my master for this! This is more than enough anyway! ''Sigh~! You still have a loooooong way ahead Mei, at least you could leave some pleasant memories while making your way toward your goal~'' Goal? Pleasant? Yes, my life would be better if I could work in an environment where there were no smugly-arrogant man around. ''Now~! Why not let''s create a memorable moment together?'' ''Lately, I''ve been busy with my duty~! So at least, let me have my free time with my little Mei-Chan for now~!'' Then the door that was still opened close with a bang! Wait! what are you going to do? With me? ''Wait~!'' Then there a light shines from my body and it slowly floats away from my body, it stops at a few meters away from me. The light dimmed, revealing a green hair girl who I recognized right away. P-Purin-Chan?! Really? ''Huheheh~! That time you couldn''t see me clearly~! As expected~!'' H-How? Oh yes! That time! She uses to transform into her physical body to save me. I''m glad that I''m being recused by Purin-Chan! Even if her personality is kinda... awkward. ''Who do you call akward~!'' No! I mean it awkward to be saved by... myself. ''Hmph! You could thanks me later~! But for now~! Let''s get rid of your boring taste in decorating room~!'' No, it''s was your f- Heyy Hey! It''s not me who decorated the room! And we don''t have much time till she comes here! ''Hehe~! I already cover this room under my godly magic~! You''ll be gone only fifteen minutes by the time we finished~'' C-Cool! Wait?! ''Huh~?'' You said you could only stay in your physical form no more than half a minute right? right? ''OH! Hahaha~! That was then, now you had restored your mana''s equilibrium. So~! That''s means I could stay longer~!'' ''And~! You could talk to me like you talk to the other~! No need to use telepathy~'' Nah! If someone heard I''m talking to you. They will think that I''m crazy for talking to myself. ''But~! I''m actually interactable~! I''m not an imaginary or phantom~!'' ''You could see me~! Others also could see me as well~!'' But I''ll have to explain your story to them. And I hate that. They could never stop striking me with their questions... That painful, to answer those questions. ''Oh! Oh! I see I see~ Let''s keep that for later, now let''s move to our matter~'' Then Purin-Chan swings her curly green hair elegantly. I was mesmerized by her beauty. Haru! I''m sorry! I couldn''t be a better friend to you! ''Let''s get rid of the unhappy wallpaper first~! Now decide yourself or let me~'' I''ll do it myself! I could recreate my old room from the earth. But what I''ll be some kinda off-world. *Fwoosh!* What was that?! Ah! Purin-Chan! What are you doing?! ''Humming~ You see~ I use my space magic to put away the furniture, so we can design the room layout that suits you best~!'' But! This is his room! The guest room! Not for me! A servant! ''Calm down! I know, but he assigned you here~! So you mean something to him~ Atleast a servant that cooks his delicous meal everyday~!'' Huh! This day onward, he will get only a piece of egg and beacon for all the meals! Still, I hate him. But couldn''t bring myself to. It''s my fault too that I''ve met him in the first place. If it''s not that time, I could live a normal life fine, serve and rest. ''Rude~! Now~! What do you think~?'' I stop and catch my breath. I look around my room that was empty. There is a window on my right side, opposite of the door. And there another before me, to the left of the door. The furniture blocked it, hid in the dust and cobweb. Ew! That is unsightly! That is a place where I couldn''t clean, it was dirty as a rundown house. As if it not part of my room, it so dirty there when compared with the area nearby. I walk to Purin-Chan and she also has a disapproval look on her face. ...Cute... ''You''d take care of that right~?'' Yes...I couldn''t stand it when this room is not clean enough for me to call it my room. It would be embarrassing to lets the other know about this. ''I''ll take care of the wallpaper then~'' Okay. I then walk to where the window was. I create an alcohol spray, a piece of fine towel, and a broom that could get rid of the nasty cobwebs. "Sigh~ That''s my job..." I take my napkin from my pocket and did it over my mouth and nose, to keep me from inhaling the dust. I take the broom and brush the ceiling, wall, and window. The dust and cobweb now gather on the floor. I then brush them into one spot, it''s easy this way. I then manipulated the air and lift those dust in the air. I then use the fire magic to disintegrate them, leaving not even a speck of ash. And if you ask... I could use magic to clean it up but I don''t want to waste my magic on what I could do. I can''t leave the room so I disintegrate them. ''What color do you like~? I mean for the wallpaper~'' Um? Indigo. ''Oh~! So you like that deep and dark tone~! So fashionable~! Please at least have a taste of a girl~! You still want to remain as who you are on earth~?'' But, I like that color. And no, I couldn''t understand how girls like to decorate their room cause I''m not used to be one. ''Oh~! Do not worry~! You in a good hand~!; ''I''ll teach you everything you wanted to learn, as a girl~'' Haha... Thanks, but no for now. ''Aw~ So, do you still want indigo~?'' Yes... ''Okay~ Okay~ As you like~'' I return to my own job. I place the broom down next to a wall. I then grab an alcohol spray and spray it on the window, wall, and floor. I use the fine towel and wipe these areas clean, sparkingly it was so clean. Then I open it slightly to let the wind blow in. "Sign~ Not so windy huh?" I look back into the room where Purin-Chan moves her hands in a weird motion, I look to where the items were placed. I then use revert construction to return all the material from the thing that I''ve created and returned them into the form of mana, replenish some of it. I was taught this by Risa, that magic could be used in many different ways. It''s like doing the math, It works that way. There is a plus and subtract. And the rest. *Shhwink!* The light is quickly eating away the boring wallpaper and in its place. There is an indigo one that reflects the depth of the sea. ''That looks quite good, to be honest~! But it seems to lack something~'' Again, a light engulfs the indigo wall and it appears again, now with a small white cloud all over it. N-No! It''s too childish and this and t-that! ''Hehe~! This is the first step on how to be a girl~!'' The green-haired was proud, she was smiling brightly while doing an akimbo. With a slight sway of my hair, the wind blows lightly through the window that was opened earlier. The smell of the roses, I could smell it from here. ''Then~ I don''t like this floor~ Could it be another color than dark grey~?'' ''Even though, your room still looks manly~'' It can''t be helped... I like indigo and the dark theme, It reflects less light and is good to sleep in. ''Alright! Alright! But you could''ve changed something too you know~?'' ''Right now~, there was no curtain in this room, also there is no carpet, and a desk with a comfy chair to sit and listen to the wind~'' That sounds nice... I need may not need a carpet but having it is better than walk on a floor straight right? I mean I''d have the indoor shoe, everyone else does have but I don''t want to wear it all the time. I need someplace to relieve my foot. ''Alright~ Let''s move on~'' She then stretched her hands forward. With that, she starts to make the same weird hand motion again. I also need to have my time with her at this moment too. I want a desk and a chair right? Hmmm? I could only think of the one from my old room but I don''t like that desk at all, It''s too small and it so slick that it''s shine dimly in the dark. Oh! I could use the wooden desk and a matching chair with an armrest.
She looks at Mei and smiles. The carriage stopped at their house and the driver comes and opens the door for them.
Crisser sees the driver about to speak but she put her finger on her mouth, indicating him to not speak.
Crissy, she then carries Mei and walks into the house.
*Click!*
She managed to open the door somehow and later proceed to Mei''s room and open the door to go inside. She approaches Mei''s bed and she gently places her down before she left her room.
She then closes the door silently.
