In a dark hallway, a beautiful girl with orange-blonde hair stood waiting.
『..Where is he?』[Freyana]
『I'm here!!』[Nova]
Nova came sprinting from the directions of the dorm.
『Haah.. I'm.. here..』[Nova]
The moment she saw him, her face burst into a smile.
『..Nova! I thought you had forgot!』[Freyana]
「Uh.. Let's keep that to myself..」[Nova]
『How could I ever? I was just caught up with something!』[Nova]
She smiled at him.
『..Yeah!』[Freyana]
「..You're a dirty guy, Nova.」[Reischneid]
「I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.」[Nova]
As he chanted this mantra deep in his mind, Freyana grasped his hand.
『Let's go!』[Freyana]
『Huh? Where are we going?!』[Nova]
At this point in time, she started flying through the hallways.
『I'm going to take you to the rest of the Genesis Academy family!』[Freyana]
『Huh? You're taking me.. To go see your family?!』[Nova]
She looked back and gave him a big smile.
『Yeah!』[Freyana]
His face began to change in color between blue and red.
『Uhm.. Isn't it too early?!』[Nova]
『Of course not! They told me to take my boyfriend to them if I ever got one!』[Freyana]
『Oh.. Uhm. Okay!』[Nova]
A few moments later, they arrived at an exquisitely decorated dead end.
『A dead end?』[Nova]
『Of course not. Why would there be a dead end in THIS school?』[Freyana]
She placed her hand onto a statue of a lion, that then began to move.
『...R...Fre...Freyana? Did you bring someone?』[Statue]
She smiled at waved at the statue.
『Yeah! I brought my boyfriend!』[Freyana]
Nova was surprised, but he sheepishly waved at the statue.
『Your.. Boyfriend?! Man, I've always thought you were going to marry in the elf lineage.』[Statue]
『No way! None of them like me like that. Besides, I have Nova!』[Freyana]
She pulled him close and hugged his right arm.
「...I feel her breasts touching my arm!! I want to cry, or run, or something!」[Nova]
He stood his ground.
『..Very quiet young man, isn't he?』[Statue]
『Oh! Uh, sorry! My name is Nova. Nice to meet you!』[Nova]
『Just teasing you. Alright. Give me your hand and give me some of your mana.』[Statue]
The lion lifted his paw and placed it above Nova's hand.
『..Do you know how to give mana?』[Statue]
Nova shook his head vigorously, which caused the statue to sigh.
『How Freyana was taken by you, I'll never know. Focus your mana into one place until it's condensed. Then, they can take your mana by circulating their mana while holding your mana.』[Statue]
Nova nodded, then attempted to do what the statue instructed him to do, leading him to end up using a large amount of his mana to condense an orb of mana the size of a marble.
『Good. I'll take that now. Thanks.』[Statue]
『Oh, no. Thank you.』[Nova]
He bowed his head.
『Well, at least you have manners. Alright! Welcome on in.』[Statue]
The statue began to stiffen up again, before a gate quickly dropped the two of them into the floor.
『WOOOOOAH!!』[Nova]
Freyana giggled as she watched Nova's reaction.
After a few seconds, they landed in a place full of grass and greenery.
All around him was a vast field of flowers and the bright stars above him.
『Where are we?』[Nova]
『We're in a place that was created by the 31st Principal! "The Eternea Plains"!』[Freyana]
『..It's beautiful.』[Nova]
『Isn't it? This is where we all live!』[Freyana]
She jumped ahead and flew around for a bit, before looking back at Nova.
『...Truly beautiful.』[Nova]
She went ahead and grabbed Nova's hand, before flying deeper into the field.
『Come! Let's go!』[Freyana]
Before long, they came across a small town filled with lights.
『Here we are! I'll take you to my family!』[Freyana]
She flew through the streets, where many different people and creatures walked around.
One moment, Nova saw a lizardman, another moment a walking lion, then a short man with a large beard- but they all had one thing in common. They all smiled and waved or even said something when they spotted Freyana.
「It looks like they all really love her.」[Nova]
Every now and then, he'd get a really dark stare that would scare him though.
「..I'm kind of afraid.」[Nova]
Before long, she arrived in front of a large house in the middle of the streets.
『We're here!』[Freyana]
『I'm.. Kind of nervous.』[Nova]
『Well, let's go in, then!』[Freyana]
Despite Nova's pleas, she knocked on the door.
He tried to take a few steps back, but she had an insanely strong grip.
『...Freyana, I've just noticed this now, but don't you have a really strong grasp?』[Nova]
『Well.. If I hold onto you with a weak grip, you'll go around romancing other girls, no?』[Freyana]
『That's not tru-!』[Nova]
Midway through his sentence, the door opened, revealing a woman with pale blonde hair, and a surprisingly modern outfit.
『Oh? Did you bring a human here?』[???]
『Yeah! He's my boyfriend! Nova, meet my mom!』[Freyana]
He suddenly shifted gears.
『Uh.. Hi! My name is Nova!』[Nova]
『Oh my. It's been a while since I've seen a human. The last time I've seen one was Freyana's dad!』[Freyana's Mom]
『Your dad was a human?』[Nova]
『Yeah! He's a big strong man. We don't see him too often though. He lives outside of Genesis. I hope we can go visit him someday!』[Freyana]
After Nova heard that he began to nervously sweat.
『Why don't you come in? We can talk about this inside.』[Freyana's Mom]
Nova came inside and was gestured to sit down on a sofa.
『Let's see. Although it's a little uncomfortable..』[Freyana's Mom]
Her green wings suddenly disappeared.
『You can make your wings disappear?!』[Nova]
『Yes. So can Freyana, it's just that she can't control it that well. She is half elf and half human after all.』[Freyana's Mom]
『So, you can't go visit him without putting your wings away?』[Nova]
『Nope! There are rules on summoned beasts and magical creatures. Sometimes when they go outside they can't control their strength, so they might hurt people on accident!』[Freyana]
『So, I don't have to meet your dad yet?』[Nova]
『Nope! I've almost got it though! We can visit him together after I'm confident!』[Freyana]
Nova inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
『Okay! Then, I'll look forward to it!』[Nova]
『Now then, won't you join us for dinner?』[Freyana's Mom]
Now that Nova thought about it, when he consumed most of his mana on the statue, he ended up building up quite an appetite.
『Yeah! I'll join.』[Nova]
『Okay! Then I'll go ahead and start cooking.』[Freyana's Mom]
She disappeared into the kitchen.
Freyana suddenly looked at Nova with a panicked look.
『Nova! My mom cooks a lot! Are you sure you're ready?』[Freyana]
『More than you the first time we met?』[Nova]
『Yes!』[Freyana]
『...I'll try my best.』[Nova]
Moments later, Freyana's mother brought out a large- yet still normal plate.
『Oh.. It's not that bad.』[Nova]
Freyana kept a nervous smile on her face that did not make Nova feel better.
『...Right?』[Nova]
-----
Nova sat at the table, with his face lying down.
『..I didn't think that your mom would take out another plate out after I finished...』[Nova]
『Well, you've passed my test!』[Freyana's Mom]
He barely lifted his face off of the table.
『You were.. Testing me?』[Nova]
『Yeah! Of course. It's tradition! Although you didn't finish as much as my husband!』[Freyana's Mom]
『..Your husband is a monster, ..uh?』[Nova]
『Oh! You can call me Frey!』[Mrs. Frey]
『Like.. The first 4 letters of Freyana?』[Nova]
『..My name is a mix of my dad and my mom's name.』[Freyana]
『Yup! Baana is my husband's name!』[Mrs. Frey]
『Oh. Well, guess I won't be calling Freyana by Frey then..』[Nova]
『Well, maybe you should call her Ana!』[Mrs. Frey]
『...You're a genius Mrs. Frey!』[Nova]
『Mrs. Frey? Hmm.. maybe first name only was a bit too early..』[Mrs. Frey]
『Huh? You wanted me to call you by first name?』[Nova]
Mrs. Frey shrugged with a nonchalant look on her face.
『Well, whatever.』[Mrs. Frey]
『Anyways! Go ahead and go back. You have school tomorrow, don't you? 』[Mrs. Frey]
『You're right! Good night Mrs Frey! Good night Freyana!』[Nova]
He stepped out of the door, before Freyana grabbed his arm.
『I'll take you back!』[Freyana]
She started to fly with him through the almost empty town.
『..Thank you for coming with me.』[Freyana]
『...Thank you for being with me.』[Nova]
Freyana didn't look back, nor did she say anything else. She just flew through the starlit sky with Nova holding her hand.
Before long, she had dropped him off in front of a tree.
『If you want to go back, just put your mana into this tree, aaand.. uhm.』[Freyana]
She moved close to him and kissed him, with their silhouettes being illuminated in the moonlight.
『...Good night.』[Freyana]
She gave him another cheerful smile before disappearing into the distance.
『...Good night.』[Nova]
Nova smiled at her fading outline.
