Dedicated to those in the story!

It was about a week from the last fight the soldiers had fought with unknown invaders and none of the girls involved with the two duo's game were able to do anything on the list UnlikelyKing held onto. Sad but true, the buildings in the astral barrier were in need of a major clean up and rebuilds. Of course Lilith wasn't able to fix them all at once; it took time and lots of her energy away just for a single large building, even for a strange dragon as herself. The groups were divided in half that day with the Hosidans following Kamui's lead and the Nohrians following Corrin's. Both sides were to work in their fields respectively and proficiently. Their strengths they possessed in certain abilities over the other, to be exact, was what made work go faster and if it was vice versa, they probably wouldn't be done by this following day.

"Man, I am beat..!" Astrid-chann said as she collided into one with the green grass.

At least she wasn't on the Nohrian side of the barrier or she would've collapsed into a dirt path or dead plants instead. LilyBlizz smiled a bit when she sat down nearby and wiped off the sweat on her forehead.

"I wonder if the others are done yet," the older girl replied exhaustedly.

The-Lobster-Queen spotted the two basking in the sunlight for a bit as they recovered from cleaning up broken weapons and armors littering the ground while she was bringing back the rest of the meat she gathered in her hunt. She eventually decided to stick around them after her work was finished.

"Hiya, guys!" she exclaimed as she ran over.

Her long purple cape fluttered around behind her as she sped to the exhausted figures. And with that cheerfully bright call from her voice, both heads of LilyBlizz and Astrid-chan's snapped over to one who was trying to gain their attention.

"Ah, Sky-LA!" the pegasus knight greeted.

But before she could finish, something decided to contact her body from up above out of nowhere.

"..... I'm sorry...." DWN024ShadowMan apologized as she crawled off.

"Uhhhhh... Did you just come from the sky?" the archer asked the ninja.

Pulling back her blue hair from her face and taking off her mask, she smiled awkwardly.

"I guess you can say that.. But it wasn't exactly the sky," she giggled.

Her bright apologetic smile looked nothing like the kitty whiskered sharp teeth looking mask grinning thing she always had on- no one knew what to call it. Heck, the girls still wonder why she decided to wear it in the first place-- it kind of creeps them out especially during night!

"So what's going on? Finished work yet? How's being on supervision by Leo? Fun?" the ninja asked as she rolled off Astrid-chann.

The pegasus knight gasped for air and sighed in relief when the weight was lifted off her body. Literally.

"Leo scolding us is scary... What do you mean by 'how is being supervised?' It's even scarier since he won't hesitate to hit us!" LilyBlizz hissed, glancing at the prince watching from a distance.

He was staring directly at the tiny group of girls with his usual stoned, expressionless face. Gods, he's like Xander with those scary faces he makes... As the archer's gaze slid back to the girls nearby, a thought suddenly ran through her head.

"You know Skyla.. I wonder how you even ended up with the army.." mused the girl.

The smiling kitsune's eyes fluttered a bit before she curiously tilted her head, ears flopping around to further emphasize it.

"I don't recall," replied The-Lobster-Queen. "I just know that Kaden and I got lost on the way showing appreciation to our helpers."

"Oh yeah... It was Kaden who told us that..." Astrid-chann said.

A perfect reason why they didn't remember.

"And she was roaming around the area during the negotiations at the port city of Cyrkensia," the thief suddenly added as her mask muffled her voice to make it harder to identify.

The group turned their heads to see who it was, but because of the familiar voice sounding so close to them, they already knew it was the ninja. Wait, when did she even get her mask back on??

"And that too.." agreed the pegasus knight.

The female ninja smiled a bit as she pushed her hair back off her shoulders to hang behind her again. With a soft groan from weariness, LilyBlizz decided to go head back for a short rest.

"I'm going to wash up and take a nap or something... I slept too late last night.." she mumbled and waved.

The three other girls smiled a bit awkwardly as they waved back to her now leaving figure. It wasn't surprising to hear her say something like "I slept late doing this," or "I need a nap;" in fact, it was completely normal. She could be a fairly lazy girl especially at the times she consider as "her mornings."

"So what do you want to do now?" Astrid-chann asked the other girls.

Their responses were quickly answered with gentle small shrugs with the shoulder, a pivot really.

"I think you should report to Leo first. Don't forget he's still watching you two," DWN024ShadowMan reminded the blonde.

She had an urge to release a soft groan, but held it in. Astrid-chann knew it was really no use to just stand there and groan-- heck, Prince Leo could've sauntered over and she'd still have to tell him what was up. The next day as well, but that would be too late. Something else could happen instead of a question and did not want to find out.

"Come on, think of it as a job on a list! It can't be that bad!" the kitsune giggled. "What did Katie call it again..? Hm.... Oh, oh! A to-do list! That's it!"

It seemed as though she had overheard what both IroshadowGL and Tinted_Memories discussed about in the hallway back to their rooms. The-Lobster-Queen just happened to be close by.

"Wait, when did Katie make said list?" Astrid-chann questioned curiously. "I don't remember hearing anything about this.."

The kitsune giggled and gave her a playful shrug as she glanced over to the Nohr side, the Nohrian soldiers working with weapon set ups and counts.

"I don't know but I heard her say it! I trust my ears," she said as she wiggled her black and white fox ears just a tad bit.

They really seem to contrast with her caramel hair greatly, so it was hard to miss them. In fact, it was hard to miss animal features on a human body in general.

"Heehee.. I wonder what it's for..." she said lowly.

A hint of playful mischief suddenly took the look of innocence in her blue eyes. Astrid-chann, on the other hand, knew the curiosity in herself was beginning to kill her thought as well-- she didn't know whether to join in on the ruse or to ignore the idea of it.

"Astrid! Don't do it! You know your friends might not like it if you tried to butt in without their consent!" one side of her told her.

An image of a tiny white angel, looking completely like Astrid-chann herself, suddenly appeared into existence on her shoulder. She stared at her wild imagination awkwardly causing the two girls near her give a concerned look.

"She's spacing out..." DWN024ShadowMan commented.

"Is she? She looks more in pain than spacing out..." The-Lobster-Queen replied.

The devil side of her in black and red suddenly kicked Angel Astrid-chann out of the way with a charge kick, causing the other to fly off into space.

"Don't listen to her! You know better than to NOT look into it! What if it's something Katie is leaving you out on? You could be missing the fun!" the devil in her said, waving her red pitchfork around wildly. "Don't listen to feather brain! She doesn't know crap about anything!"

The angel suddenly reappeared, speeding right into Devil Astrid-chann and knocking her to the ground. The two were now in a fist and weapon fight with each other, pitchforks and spoons waving around uncontrollably-- wait, why was angel her holding a spoon in the first place?

"GEMINI!" they both called.

Surprisingly enough, mini versions of her pegasus-- one was draped in white and the other in black-- also appeared, surprising the human Astrid-chann to an extent. Not to mention, their voices were squeaky high...

"Did she see something?" the ninja asked awkwardly. "A bug possibly?"

"I don't see anything..." the shape shifting beast replied nonchalantly.

Eventually, the dark and bad side of her had to pick the devil's option.

"I'm sorry, angel me...!" she whispered loudly, an imaginary tear slipping off the brim of her eye.

"Ha ha ha! I win! Best of a thousand and twenty-five to your mere nine hundred and ninety-nine!" the devil claimed, continuously poking the angel's bum with her fork-- her mount was also neighing in triumph.

When Astrid-chann looked back up at her allies, she was greeted with weird or just concerned stares.

"Er... Yes?" she asked nervously.

"Nothing..." replied the two.

"Well then... I have a proposal!" The-Lobster-Queen exclaimed out of nowhere. This caused the pegasus knight to jump out of her skin from surprise. "Let's sneak into Katie's room and find that list while she's still occupied with work! Shade, you're like a master sneaker! You should join in with us!"

The ninja nervously glanced at the kitsune.

"I don't know... I mean we are invading a friend's privacy for our enjoyment..." she commented.

"But, but, but what if it's something important she's hiding from us? Like... Like a death note!" Astrid-chann exaggerated.

DWN024ShadowMan gave her a blank face of disbelief. By now, the beast and ninja were completely aware that Astrid-chann was dying to know what the list was about.

"Okay, fine. Not a death note, but aren't you curious?" she corrected.

"Yes.. But..."

"Then it's settled! We're getting our hand on that list no matter what!" the pegasus knight claimed with determination.

A second later, the girls heard someone scream-- LilyBlizz to be exact-- as she ran out the hot spring in a rush.

"I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO BE IN THERE! GODS, STAY AWAY!"

"Awww, too shy?" Niles asked with a smirk, his white hair contrasting with his tan skin.

"Ooohh... Bad luck..." the girls commented.

No one wanted to look in case he was in a towel or just stark naked-- it can happen since he is Niles.

"I'll go see Leo now.." Astrid-chann sighed.

××××

"So how will we do this..? We know the Hoshidans are done with their work, well a majority... So sneaking around would be a suspicious feat." DWN024ShadowMan told the girls.

Eyes were fixated onto the ninja after she said that.

"You know one of the three ninjas may catch me... Not everyone will see me, but Kaze, Saizo, and Kagerou are more than capable to see me in the act..." sighed the girl.

Her eyelids slightly lowered and covered her silver eyes to show her disapproval.

"Aww, come on... We need to attempt it at least once..!" said The-Lobster-Queen.

"Okay fine... I'll do it..." agreed the ninja.

It was the only way to get them to stop asking-- it most certainly worked well.

"Yeeees! Okay, here's the plan. Since we're starting from Astrid's room, Katie's room is pretty far off from where we are. Just... disappear into thin air like what you usually do!" the kitsune suggested. "Nice plan, me, nice plan."

"...... It's not necessarily disappearing into thin air, but okay," chuckled the ninja. "What about you two?"

"Hm? We're just going to sit back and watch. We still need to think up of what we can do, of course," replied one of her allies, the troubling one that is.

Staring at the girls with a slight drop of the jaw, the ninja pinched the bridge of her nose and silently shook her head.

"You're kidding me, right?"

...Pursuing what next?
