"I don't know exactly what's going on Greg, but it's pretty obvious that Luther knows what you're up too. Why bother hiding it?"
"I'd really love if I could go public about it, but if I go out and ask the Demon King for help with this, it undermines his power. I can't act like he knows, and neither can he."
"So politics are getting in the way. Again. Why can't these bureaucrats put aside their differences to save a girl?"
"I wish I knew Kayla, I wish I knew. Either way, we need to figure out our next steps. Where are we going next?"
"I'd say we should find some more help. Either you make more clerics or we find someone who won't die before we come back next. How long did you say it takes?"
"Out there? About 40 years, give or take 5 years."
"So it's been 40 years since I died… I guess it's not a good Idea to go freak out my family is it?"
I hate this. I hate it when girls have to cry, but it's best to be blunt.
"We shouldn't, who knows how they'd take it. Maybe after another while when you have a better explanation."
"…You're right. Damn."
"It's ok. Come here."
I've had too many tears, too much sorrow.
"Maybe we can get your sister a souvenir from somewhere. Is there any place she always wanted to go?"
"She's mentioned visiting Angel's Watch a few times, our parents would never let us go, it was too far, all the way across the continent."
"Well, it seems we know where we are going next."
"What? I thought you were focusing on finding your sister!"
"Well of course, but I don't have many leads right now anyway, Geam couldn't turn anything up from any of his friends, and I've been a bit dead for the past 40 years. She could be anywhere by now, so why not have the anywhere we check do something for us too?"
"You're too selfless, idiot."
"Hey now that's rude!"
"But it's true."
"Touché. So you're onboard for angel's watch?"
"Yeah…"
Ok, what did Geam do to make a crash that loud?
"Geam what did you-"
That's a horse… why is there a horse in Geam's room.
"Hey' don't blame me! Your dog turned into a horse! Why didn't you say it could do that! Do you think it can do a cat?"
"Wait… That's Lils?"
"Yeah the mutt. Hey! That's my dresser you're kicking!"
Show him Lils.
"Lils? Can you turn back into a wolf?"
Ooh, it looks fancy, a nice golden glow.
"Woof!"
"Huh. When did you learn to do that Lils?"
"Uh… Greg?"
Oh. Now Kayla's glowing.
"Greg, what do I do?!"
"Why would I know?!"
"You're the magic man, this is magic, right?"
"No idea, I've never seen it before."
"It's going to my hands!"
"That it is."
Is that… Chocolate?
"Kayla? You can open your eyes now."
"Greg, why am I holding a chocolate bar?"
"You tell me, it's your magic. Why were you thinking about chocolate?"
"…"
Ah! Flying sweets!
"Shut up!"
"Why? What did I do to deserve flying candy?"
"I said shut up!"
Is that a… Frying Pan!
"Stop throwing things at me! How are you even doing that?"
"I don't know!"
"Woof!"
"Could you two take your lovers quarrel into the hall and stop trashing my room? Oh. Please don't hurt me."
"Kayla, it's probably not a good Idea to pull a sword on the prince of demons."
"I didn't mean to! This glow-ey magic just keeps making things!"
"Well then stop the magic."
"How!"
Huh, I'm not going to let her live that down.
"Think of it like your bow, when you shoot you put mana into your enchantments, right? Well, stop putting mana into the spell."
Glow-be-gone 2000, stop any spell you're casting in an instant with this revolutionary technique.
"You will never speak of this."
"What, that you couldn't control your magic? That you threw chocolate at me?"
"So to do this magic I just use mana like this?"
"No need to be drastic! Just stop the glow."
"Then you won't speak of it."
"Meow."
"And now Lils is a cat."
"My room might be trashed, but now I have a cat, so I'll call it even. Hey, don't go to him, come to me!"
"Hi Lils, are you being a good girl?"
Oh, she's changing again, I've never seen an animal that looks like that…
"I loooove you master!"
"Ah!"
"Greg…"
"Please don't shoot me Kayla, I didn't ask for this!"
"Well than stop standing there and enjoying it and give the girl some clothes!"
"Clothes? Why would I need those? Then master couldn't give me belly rubs!"
"Belly rubs? No no no, Lils, turn back into a wolf!"
"But then I couldn't talk to master! No!"
Did she just make a spray bottle with her magic? I don't even think she realized it.
"I said down!"
"Ah! Ok!… Woof! Woof!"
"Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be a recurring issue?"
"Woof!"
"*Sigh* So, are you ready to get moving Kayla?"
And she's clinging to my arm.
"I am now! But what about my bow?"
"Woof!"
"Just make it with your magic. I mean, you seem pretty good at it."
"What? All I've done is create random things and throw them at you."
She really didn't realize it.
"What about the spray bottle?"
"Oh… I did do that didn't I?"
She really went for a fancy bow, huh.
"Was the gold really necessary?"
"You always said it's easier to enchant that way."
She has me there.
"Fair point, does that mean you want it enchanted?"
"Yep!"
"And you expect me to do it for free?"
"You want that here and now?"
Uh… What?
"I mean, we can if you want."
Ah! We're kissing again!
"Kayla, stop!"
"I thought you wanted to be paid for the enchantment."
"Not like this! You know what, let's just get going. Geam, where did your dad put the portal?"
"Off by the kitchen, specifically in the walk-in freezer. There isn't a guard this time, so have fun in Angel's Watch."
"Yeah, I'm sure I will."
What I do for my friends.
