When we appeared in the Risharis grasslands they were already covered in fog.

Visibility was poor due to the eclipse and the fog covering the whole of the grasslands.

The face of the information girl had a nostalgic look to it.

I sure Ahartherun is on the other side of this fog. The girl said with a strange air of certainty to her words.

.You dont seem surprised. (Sasha)

The girl tilted her head at Sashas words

Surprised? About what? (girl)

<Gatom> is a lost magic. I thought youd be surprised transferring from the city to here in an instant? (Sasha)

Oh, I see. That magic was certainly amazing. Her face took on a thoughtful look like she was remembering something. However, it felt known to me. It didnt seem strange at all. (girl)

..Hmm. That reminds me, we never asked your name. (Sasha)

Its Rina.probably. (Rina)

You dont remember that either? (Sasha)

Yeah, not clearly but not having a name was inconvenient so I decided to call myself Rina. It felt right I think.? (Rina)

.I see. Sorry. It was a bad question. (Sasha)

Its fine, it cant be helped. Ill probably remember in time. (Rina)

Sashas face had a mix of astonishment and admiration.

Youre so vibrant for someone with amnesia. (Sasha)

Being depressed wont change anything. Its more important to do what you can do. (Rina)

While Sasha and Rina were talking Misha was looking into the depths of the fog.

Do you understand? (Arnos)

Theres a lot. (Misha)

Fumu. As expected of Misha.

This fog is certainly the entrance to Ahartherun. If you use your demon eyes you can see many spirits lurking in the fog.

Ive contacted everyone. (Misha)

It wont take them long to arrive.

Are you going to give it a go Sasha? (Arnos)

What? (Sasha)

You should try it. (Arnos)

Sasha looked at me blankly.

Try what? (Sasha)

If we dont make the fairy Titi laugh we cant get into Ahartherun. (Arnos)

Aah thats true. Why me though? (Sasha)

Ive been thinking this for some time now but youve got quite the talent for tsukkomis. (Arnos) (1)

What goes through your brain! (Sasha)

Sasha starts to get sharp with me but I point to her face.

That. (Arnos)

That what? (Sasha)

Its hard for anyone else to imitate that firework-like personality that ignites all at once. (Arnos)

Whos a firework!? (Sasha)

Thats good Sasha, keep it up. Now go. Make a big flower bloom in the sky. (Arnos)

..You know. I cant just do it on demand (Sasha)

Sasha seems to be shying away.

I cant. Misha help. (Sasha)

Misha nods.

Ill try. (Misha)

What are you going to do? (Sasha)

Misha and Sasha face each other.

I have a plan. (Misha)

Though her voice was its usual monotone Mishas face was serious.

She seems pretty confident.

Whats the plan? (Sasha)

Ill say something strange. (Misha)

Okay. (Sasha)

Sasha listens intently.

Get ready to retort Sasha. (Misha)

Sasha nods

And? (Sasha)

Laugh loudly. (Misha)

How am I supposed to retort to that!! (Sasha)

Sasha responded with as much force as she could.

Did it work? (Misha)

Misha looks around but theres no change in the fog.

The Titis must be looking at us but I cant feel any reaction.

Fumu. The Titis seem to have missed our point. Im surprised they can hold in the laughter. (Arnos)

.Really..? (Sasha)

Everyone! (Ray)

Waving his hand Ray and Misa come over.

It got foggy quick. I was really surprised when the eclipse suddenly happened (Misa)

Can we get into Ahartherun yet? (Ray)

Were having a hard time making the fairies laugh so good thing you showed up. Ray, Misa, its time for you to show off your best performance. Destroy the abs of those fairies. (Arnos)

Ray and Misa look at each other.

Ahahaha Even if you say that, what are we supposed to do? (Misa)

Hmm, Just make something up. (Arnos)

I guess. Misha told me earlier they like and laugh at novel or unique things? (Misa)

I nod.

Apparently so. (Arnos)

Okay, Ray-san Ill give it a try.

Have you thought of something? (Ray)

Yes. Buterrm I have a favour to ask. (Misa)

What? (Ray)

Misa looks down embarrassed.

Im going to do something weird so can you not look at me? I might show you something embarrassing and you might not like it. Ahaha. (Misa)

Its fine. (Ray)

Ray looks at her with a kind face.

No matter what strange or funny things you do Im sure Ill always find them cute. (Ray)

Ray-san.. (Misa)

The two of them quickly get lost staring at each other in their newly constructed world.

Im off then. Please pick up my remains.! (Misa)

Ray smiles wryly and nods

Misa walks off a short way into the fog.

Misa stops, steels herself and breathes in.

Mou, I have a question! Im always, always thinking only about Ray-san. Remember that and tell me what my favourite numbers are!? (Misa)

..Why a quiz.? (Sasha)

Fumu. I wonder what the answer is? (Arnos)

Misha tilts her head to one side then speaks

0 and 3? (Misha)

I see. 03 Ray-san. (Arnos) (2)

..I really dont care. (Sasha)

There was no change in the fog and I couldnt hear the fairies laughing.

Ah.ahaha. I guess it didnt work. (Misa)

Doesnt appear so. However.. (Ray)

Errm..however? (Misa)

Ray smiles sweetly at her.

As for me I love 3 & 3 very much. (Ray) (3)

Ahahaha. (Misa)

The two of them stare at each other again and create another new world just for them.

Fumu. Is 33 Misa? (Arnos)

Ive been thinking. Havent they just been flirting the whole time?.. (Sasha)

So not even Ray and Misa could crack it?

What do we do now?

Just then I saw Eleonor and Zeshia running towards us.

Sorry for the wait. That took longer than expected. (Eleonor)

Sorry (Zeshia)

Zeshia bows her head.

Its fine. Weve been having trouble here anyway. The fog appeared but were having trouble making the fairies laugh. Any ideas? (Arnos)

Do something interesting was it? (Eleonor)

Something novel is apparently good. (Arnos)

Eleonor falls off into deep thought before giving up.
