Nadia POV

I had to explain to teachers and students why Hollis has been absent for days.

"I hope Mr. Wagner gets better" Mrs. Magi actually smiled!

"Yeah" I became frightened.

A girl was acting weirdly in the school hallway. I walked to her and followed her.

"Hi" she smiled softly.

"Sorry.....are you looking for someone" I smiled nervously.

"Yeah...my cousin" her eyes sparkled.

"I could help" I smiled proudly.

"Well his name is Hollis....I don't remember is disguise name" she mumbled.

I smiled weirdly staring at her, "Don't say that in public, you are lucky that I came to help you!" I said shaking her.

"Huh?" she blinked many times.

I dragged her with me into my room. "You see your cousin is a Koneko Tribe citizen so he could get reported and the consequences are pretty harsh" I sighed.

"I know.....I'm sorry, but I'm one too....I learned magic so my ears won't be shown," she smiled nervously, "My dad told me he's here and I can get registered, I think of him as a big brother and-"

I couldn't resist hugging her, "Sorry, you are so adorable!" I screamed.

"Miss!" she wined.

I felt her purring.

"You like it!" I smiled softly hugging myself.

She sighed looking at me, "I'm Katsuko Kurone, so who are you to him?" she said.

"I'm his girlfriend" I smiled pretending to make a rainbow.

"What?!" she trembled, "He hit the jackpot" she mumbled.

"Eh?" I smiled nervously.

"It's nice that someone cares about him" she laughed silently.

"I'll show you to him....he's not well" I spoke softly.

She trembled holding my hand. I dragged her along with me to Hollis room.

"Hello.....oh it's you" he sighed. He smiled weakly staring at her. "Katsu!" he trembled.

"Hollis!" she smiled cuddling him.

"She's so cute" I chuckled.

"Yeah....but why are you doing here?!" he said shaking her.

"I wanted to see my favorite cousin" she smiled softly squeezing his cheeks.

"Katsu, you can't be here!" he said freaking out.

She smiled controlling water and turned it into ice, "This is good" she took a bite of it.

"How did you do that....?" he stared at her.

"I'm a Water Wizard!" she screamed hugging herself.

"How did you become one?!"

"I guess when I was born, but it didn't show up that time" she said with a straight face.

"Same here" he sighed.

"Isn't he adorable?!" I smiled hugging him.

"Yus!" her eyes sparkled, "I'm sorry, you got hurt " she sighed.

"It's okay....it's a part of going on dangerous quest" he smiled nervously.

"I'll be in my new room!" she smiled waving to us.

She left the room leaving me and him alone.

"She's young so she won't know how to control her abilities" he sighed.

I saw her outside through a window chasing a butterfly, "Yeah" I smiled nervously.
