Chapter 10: Bee commotion.

-

The red team was having a peaceful time. Sitting on a bench and eating ice cream while Y/N was interested in one question.

Y/N: Tell me again, why do you need this bee?

The reason for that question was a bee that Sucy had in her hands.

Sucy: It was sent by mistake. I ordered a venomous bee, but I got this. Anyone who gets stung by this bee will fall in love with the first person they see.

Akko: The first person?

Y/N: You'd better give it back. Who knows what kind of problems an insect like that can cause.

Akko: Give it back? Why? Let's try it out on someone first!

Lotte: Like who?

Y/N: Not me!

Y/N exclaimed and then took a bite of his ice cream. At that moment, a black limousine stopped in front of them, from which Hannah and Barbara got out in beautiful dresses.

Hannah: Well, if it's not Akko.

Y/N: What's wrong with your appearance? You two look like Christmas trees.

Hannah: How dare you say that?! We have received an invitation to the Mansion of the Earl of Hanbridge's manor.

Barbara: His son, Lord Andrew, just earned unparalleled honors at his prestigious award school. A party is being held to celebrate the occasion.

Y/N: Andrew?

Akko: The guy with whom we ran away from the polar bear.

Y/N: ......

Akko: The son of an aristocrat.

Y/N: ......

Akko sighed.

Akko: The guy whose ears I turned into donkey ears.

Y/N: Aaaaaah... Now I remember.

Then Diana got out of the limousine, whose dress was much more beautiful than that of her two friends combined.

Lotte: How lovely!

Akko: You are going too, Diana?

Barbara: Why wouldn't she be?

Hannah: The Hanbridge and Cavendish share a long and illustrious noble bloodline. Their families have been linked for over five hundred years.

Y/N's mind: (So that's who he reminded me of...)

Diana sighed.

Diana: I can't embrace this. I would much rather be studying than wasting time at a party. Hannah, Barbara, let us plan to leave early.

When Diana got back into the limo, her two friends didn't miss the opportunity to tease the brunette again.

Barbara: Are you jealous?

Hannah: Don't you want to go to the party?

Hannah/Barbara: Never, never, never, never!

After another insult about her status, they boarded the transport and left laughing loudly.

Akko: Damn them!

Y/N: -_- Calm down.

Akko: There is no way I will calm down! Doesn't that piss you too, guys?!

Sucy: I don't care at all.

Lotte: Let's go, Akko.

Y/N: Besides they are kinda right...

Akko looked at him with a murderous look that almost made him fall off the bench.

Akko: I will go! To the party!

Akko lifted her ice cream abruptly and inspiringly... to her.

Akko: Just seeing that on the chin would put the good name of witches to shame!

Seconds later, her ice cream fell on her face. Y/N took a deep breath, putting his hand under his chin and looking away.

Y/N: Here we go again.

-----------------

-----------------

In the magic items café...

Akko: The first thing we need are dresses. Magical dresses that will make us the life of the party!

Y/N: -_- Don't tell us that we're going to the party too.

Akko: Yes! We all are going!

Seller: So you want magic dresses... Everything I have got is way out of reach for you.

Y/N: Bummer! Then next time! Let's go!

Just when the wizard was going to leave that store happy, Akko grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Akko looked at the seller.

Akko: Can you change that?

Seller: Well, then... What do you think of this one?

He gave her a dress that was so old that it fell apart in her hands.

Akko: -_- ...

Seller: And how about this one?

He handed over clothes that were too small to fit even a child.

The guy from all restrained his laughter at the sight of this.

Akko: Grrr... One more joke and I'll hit you!

Y/N: -_-

From the next clothes, he "exploded" with laughter. The seller gave her a Playboy bunny costume.

Y/N: Don't! She has bad memories of this type! I mean she...

Smack

Akko hit him so hard on the head that made him fall to the floor face down.

Y/N: Ouch! You-!

Akko: Hmph! I warned you!

Salesman: Calm down, kids. How about this other one?

The seller showed a box with a lock and a very striking appearance.

Lotte: A Cinderella set?

Seller: This was our bestseller a century ago. Buy now and I will throw in a show white set, and even knock the whole she ag with prince suit down half to half price.

Akko: Deal!

-----------------

-----------------

Y/N: Alright! I'm put on what you asked for. But I doubt that Prince Charming wore exactly such a suit.

He said looking at his friends in new clothes. Akko was wearing a pink dress, Lotte was wearing an orange one, and Sucy was wearing a black suit with horns. It turns out that that Cinderella set was not what one thought. Those who want to use it have to recite a spell so that the clothes magically appear... literally.

Akko: Woah! Y/N! You look so handsome!

Lotte turned her gaze as she begins to blush.

Lotte: Yes... She is right.

Y/N: Are you serious? I look like a penguin!

Kagari stared at you, directed her gaze to your suit aaaaaaaaaand.... Clutched her stomach.

Akko: hahahahaha! You are right!

Y/N: Q_Q Anyway! What the-?!

Cinderella's transportation turned out to be not a pumpkin cart, but a bicycle with seats for three passengers.

Akko: Is this supposed to be our carriage?

Lotte: Here it says the magic will end in two hours.

Y/N: Great...

-----------------

-----------------

Y/N was walking along a "shortcut" in the woods. The witches and wizard split up so there would be a better chance of crashing the party. Akko had a plan that Y/N hoped would work.

Y/N: This place is little creepy...

Suddenly, he heard a loud growl from behind. Turning towards the sound, Y/N saw a huge wolf with bright, luminous, bloodthirsty eyes. There was 100 percent of the fact that he had no friendly reasons to meet you.

Y/N: 0_0.... -_-

9 seconds later...

The birds perched on trees flew in different directions at the huge explosion.

The wizard emerged from the depths of the forest and approached the mansion, leaving the wolf parts in different places. He wiped a drop of blood on his face and said:

Y/N: I hope no one saw this.

Boom Boom Boom

He turned towards the sound sources and saw a giant squirrel, causing people to panic.

Y/N: Really, Akko?

Inside the Hanbridge Estate, everything looked like a dream. Beautiful music played, people dressed expensively, and the food could make everyone drool. The girls' eyes lit up when they saw all this.

Lotte: We have entered a world straight out of a girl's fantasies.

Y/N: -_-

Except you who had already seen places like this, and better.

Lotte: Oh, Y/N. You want a piece of cake?

Y/N: Thank you Lotte.

The young wizard sighed.

Y/N: I feel a little uncomfortable here. Something tells me that I should go.

Akko: Didn't you want to come here? Why didn't you tell me?

Y/N: I... Wait. Q_Q Did I had a choice?

Akko: Well, I didn't say that you have to go here.

She said this while she took a bite of dessert.

Y/N: Q_Q

Suddenly, the brunette noticed Andrew's gaze and almost choked on the bite she already had in her mouth. Diana and her friends also noticed her.

Diana: Akko? Y/N?

Y/N: ;_; Hello, Diana.

Akko: Wh-what a surprise to see you here!

Akko pretended to laugh.

Diana: What is possibly going through your mind?

Y/N: Well, she is an airhead.

Before his friend could say anything else, Andrew intervened in the conversation.

Andrew: Why are you here? I don't recall inviting you.

Y/N: Q_Q Even me?

Andrew: Even you.

Akko gritted her teeth as she approached him. After a brief argument, Andrew asked her to leave the party, which she refused. Meanwhile, Sucy quietly released the bee. It landed on Andrew's neck and stung him, after which he immediately fell, clutching his heart.

Akko: Andrew. Are you okay?

The wizard growled as he saw that "Akko caused Andrew discomfort."

Y/N: Step back, Akko! Even from a simple conversation with you, there are only problems!

He leaned down slightly to check Andrew's condition.

Y/N: Hey man! Are you okay?

Hanbridge looked up and his gaze froze in front of the wizard's eyes. Those powerful eyes hypnotized Andrew and he simply couldn't tear himself away from them. Suddenly, he felt his heart begin to beat faster as his breathing increased.

Y/N: Are you okay?~

Memories of Andrew with Y/N ​​began to creep into his head. The first meeting, how Y/N grinned at him after showing his knowledge, and how the young boy apologized to him. He would have thought that he had gone mad, but he could no longer throw off these thoughts and took him by the hand.

Andrew: Listen... I am sorry!

The wizard showed confusion at the sudden apology.

Y/N: What?

Andrew: I want you to stay here.

Y/N: Oh... Oh! Girls, we are staying.

Akko: Cool!

Andrew: No. The witches can leave.

Y/N: Huh? Why?

Andrew: Y/N L/N... I think you stole my heart.

You blinked twice at such a revealing revelation.

Y/N:... ._.

Akko:.... ._.

Lotte:... .__.

Sucy:... ._.

Diana:... ._.

• • •

• • •

• • •

Y/N: What?! The?! Fuck?!!!!... Oh no! That's not what I meant!

Akko/Lotte: Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Sucy:...

The guests gasped in shock, while Diana froze on the spot with a stunning look and her friends fainted. Andrew's words took everyone by surprise. And when I say everyone, it means everyone.

Andrew: Let's be together. I don't care what others think about this.

Y/N: No! No! No! No! I'm not into guys! I have plans for a normal life! And this is outside that word!

Andrew: Please give me a chance! I will be part of your plan! And we will normalize this with sweat and effort!

Andrew gripped his hand with both hands tighter, causing Y/N to panic.

Y/N: Eeeeeeeeh! Lotte, Akko! Help me!...

The boy looked at them and only saw Akko fainted and Lotte's nose was bleeding. The boy began to get angry at the great humiliation that had never happened to him in any of his countless adventures. The glass of patience was filling up.

Y/N: Damn you all!

Kagari noticed the bee and shouted at Sucy.

Akko: Sucy! Why did you release the bee?! Why?!

Sucy: I... I...

Lotte wiped the blood from her nose and ran after the insect.

Diana: The bee! It's all Its fault!

Y/N: Wait! I will help you!

But the path was crossed by the "lover" Hanbridge.

Y/N: You, again?! I told you I'm not interested in...

Andrew pushed him into the wall and pressed his arm against it so that he could not escape.

Andrew: Kiss me!

Y/N: Aaaaah! Fuck off!

L/N knocked him down and ran away, taking Sucy with him.

Y/N: Sucy, answer! Are you involved in this?!

Sucy: ...

Sucy didn't respond. She was still in shock, and even more so knowing that this is her fault. But her silence made the boy more angry.

Y/N: Stupid mushroom fangirl!

Andrew watched the love of his life go, leaving him behind. He became desperate and screamed, in an attempt to stop him.

Andrew: Y/N! Wait! Wait! Y/N!!!

-----------------

-----------------

Andrew followed him up the stairs. He couldn't leave him alone. It seemed to him that he would no longer find peace after this.

Andrew: Y/N! Where are you?! Let's talk about this!... My heart is about to jump out of my chest.

He then left without noticing Y/N with Akko and Sucy, who were hiding around the corner.

Y/N: Q_Q

Akko: What should we do?

Sucy:...We have to kill the bee. If you squish it, you can probably break its spell.

Akko: Okay. Y/N...

He quickly stood up from his seat and shoved Kagari in the face. His patience was bordering on his limit.

Y/N: Why?! Why?! Why?! Why are you so stupid?!

The girl was speechless at the insult. Sucy was also surprised, but she decided not to get involved.

Akko: ¡¿Wh-?!

Y/N: Why is it that every time we are with you, some shit happens to us?! Why does it have to be you?! Why am I your friend?! Why did I agree to be one?!

Akko, seeing how his friend is no childish anymore, and hearing his words, her eyes started getting wet.

Akko: Y-Y/N, listen. I...

Y/N: What?! What is it this time?! Last time, you turned me into a catboy, flushed Professor down the drain, then revived the dead, and I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg! What now?!

Akko screamed with tears streaming down her face and hugged you tightly.

Akko: I promise I will try to never be an airhead again! I promise!

The wizard tried to get Akko to separate from him, shaking himself roughly.

Y/N: Get off of me! Akko! You... stupid...!

But she didn't want to break away from him. Her grip was too strong even for Y/N. Y/N didn't want to apply any more force because Akko might get hurt, so he gave up hoping this would be the last time he gets in trouble for her.

Furthermore, he remembered that it wasn't Akko's fault in itself but Sucy's who released the bee for her amusement... which had a completely opposite result.

Y/N: Grrrr... Fine! Don't cry and let's kill the damn bee.

Akko wiped away her tears and smiled gently when she saw that he calm down.

Akko: Yeah! Yeah! Let's go...

Y/N: -_-

Sucy: ;_;

The trio of students ran around the corner and came across Diana, who didn't look very well.

Y/N: Diana!

Ako: Diana! Did you see the bee? The weird-looking one!

Diana looked up and froze.

Diana: Akko... How could I have ever been so cold to you up until now?

Akko: Eh?

Y/N: •_•

Diana: I... I love you.

Akko:... Eeeeh!

Y/N: I think she did.

Diana then ran away.

Diana: No, look what you have made me say!

Akko: O_O...

Akko was frozen as one of her eyes twitched.

Y/N: -_- This is definitely the 21st century.

-----------------

-----------------

Andrew looked everywhere for Y/N and didn't find him. The only place he didn't check was the place with the fountain, but he wasn't there either.

???: Andrew!

Hanbridge Sr. came to talk to his son and he was very unhappy.

Andrew: Father?

Hanbridge Sr: What was that, Andrew?!

Andrew: Father... I... I don't know. He... just...

Y/N and Akko saw them and hid to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Hanbridge Sr: Magic, witches and wizards are the evil relics of a bygone era. And the wildest thing was you fell in love with the male species.

Andrew: Yes, father. I know. But does that mean we have to abandon them?

The lord sighed.

Hanbridge Sr: You always get engrossed in useless things. For example, I forbid you to play the piano as a child.

Andrew: And I didn't touch it in ten years. I know, dad. But he is...

He fell silent as he saw his father's hard look.

Andrew:...

Hanbridge Sr: Remove the witches and that wizard boy. Are we clear?

And with that, he left without hearing a response from his son, leaving it conceived. At that moment, Y/N and Akko were arguing in 'sign language'.

Akko pointed at Andrew, gesturing, "Go and talk with him."

In response, the wizard made an "X" with his hands to say no.

The brunette kicked the boy and he came out of his hiding place.

Y/N: Ouch! Akko, you-!

Noticing Andrew's gaze, he quickly fell silent. There was a sudden silence, after which the young wizard spoke.

Y/N: Your dad is an asshole.

Andrew: What?

Y/N: I think you are spineless and don't have own opinion.

Andrew: I... I just respect him. I want him to be proud of me.

Y/N: Daddy's boy... I have a question: Do you have any dreams?

Andrew: Yes, I do. But you won't understand me.

Y/N took a small stone and threw it at the back of his head.

Y/N: Perhaps! I didn't have a dad and I'm not rich either. But I am sure that parents should listen to the opinion of their children. Honestly, you are the most normal person that I met here. But unlike you, I have a dream and goal: To not go crazy!

Hearing the wizard's dream and goal, Andrew let out a small laugh.

Andrew: I thought your dream was to become a great wizard.

The boy grimaced and whispered:

Y/N: 'I already achieved that...'

Andrew: What?

Y/N: Nothing! Let's go! I need you to help with something! And....don't flirt with me.

Andrew smiled.

Andrew: No promises.

-----------------

-----------------

Inside the living room, Y/N and Akko started hunting for a bee. But it was useless. It evaded the attack as if it knew who would attack and when. From which the guests and Hanbridge Senior were very indignant. But fortunately, Andrew came to the rescue and started his piano playing. Then the "hunters" continued their job, but still, there was no success. The bee began to sting more and more people.

Diana: Where have you gone, Akko?

Sting

Cavendish fell on the dressing table with a mirror, where she looked...

Diana: Who are you, beautiful girl?

The wizard looked at that and, running side by side with Akko who was following the bee, said:

Y/N: Great news, Akko! Diana is normal now!

Kagari laughed for the first time at his joke and continued with the attempt to kill the bee. To her horror, it landed on the boy's neck and stung him. Y/N's gaze fell on the friend in the pink dress.

Akko:...

Y/N:...

Akko:...

Y/N:...

Smack

The boy crushed the annoying insect with one movement. After this, he sighed with a smile on his face.

Y/N: I like bees, but this one...

But he was interrupted by Akko who exclaimed:

Akko: Y/N! How?! How could you resist his magic?!

Y/N: Well, how to explain?... I'm immune to that. What, did you wanted me to...?

Akko quickly shook her hands.

Akko: No! No! No! No! This is okay! I'm okay! You are okay!

Y/N: Hmph...

The wizard looked at her with a look full of doubt, but then he looked at Andrew who was still at the piano.

Y/N: Andrew! You played great!

To your surprise, he stood up from the seat without emotion, returning to his aristocratic nature.

Andrew: Of course! I'm perfect!

He looked at Akko.

Andrew: Unlike someone...

Despite his cold and aristocratic attitude, the wizard sighed quietly.

Y/N: Phew... Normal Andrew is back.

Their clothes returned to their previous ones, which meant that the spell was over.

Andrew: But... Y/N.

Y/N: Huh?

Andrew: I hope I will see you again. It's nice to talk to you.

Y/N: -_- Akko, kill me. Here and right now.

Suddenly, a young girl in a beautiful black dress approached him.

Girl: Hello.

Y/N: Ummm... Hello?

Girl: I just wanted to ask... Do you want to dance with me?

Y/N sighed.

Y/N: Even if I'm wearing a tracksuit?

Girl: This is fine. I just want to dance with you.

Y/N: Hmmm... Well, if that's okay with you, I wouldn't mind a dance.

A few more girls who were her friends appeared behind her.

Girl 2: I'm next!

Girl 3: Then me!

Girl 4: I want to dance with you too!

Y/N: ;__;

Akko: Sorry, girls! But we must go back to school! Sucy!!! Lotte!!! Stop fooling around! Let's go!

The girl in the black dress stretched out her hand as she watched her lover leave.

Girl: My love!

The wizard did the same action.

Y/N: I will be back, baby!

Akko: No, you won't!!

-----------------

-----------------

In the dorm...

Akko: What?! Frank asked you out, but you said "no"?! Why?!

Lotte: I told him I liked someone else. He was not offended and calmly accepted this.

Akko: Hmmm...

Akko smiled mischievously.

Akko: Who is that lucky guy?

Lotte blushed and lowered her head.

Lotte: T-this is personal... T-this is... Y/N! What about you?

Y/N: -_- I said I'm not interested in guys.

Lotte: No! I mean... Do you have a special one for yourself?

Y/N thought about this and dropped his gaze.

Y/N: I think... I don't.

-----------------

-----------------

???: That was odd.

Furu: Yeah.

Elsewhere, two witches were talking and watching Y/N from a cauldron where everything he did was projected.

???: I mean, Y/N has so much power and so much knowledge, but he barely uses them.

Furui: Because he knows what he wants.

After some silence, she spoke out.

???: Why drag it all out? Can I just go and kill him?

The second witch looked at her with empty black eyes.

Furui: I said I would kill him. I'll take care of him myself. This is between us. The day after tomorrow he will be dead.

???: So soon? Isn't it too early?

Furui: No. I have been accumulating this power for 10 years. There is no more patience. I want to taste his blood and see the pain on his face. He will pay me for everything! With his life!

End of chapter 10
