Safehouse

-Black Bulls Base-

The mornings had been beautiful like always within the residents of the Black Bulls. Prism had always seemed to like calm mornings such as this, as she always had put her at peace. Her worries and her troubles seemed to have gone away. Prism had been humming to herself as she was gathering the last of her thing while Adrien seemed to have grotten restless. As she looked upon a familiar velvet red box, with a curious expression. He soon nudged at her elbow as it had startled her; She soon gave him a scratch on the head.

"Don't worry bud." She said with a whisper, "I'll sneak you a run soon, I promise."

There had soon been a knock at the door which had made her jump slightly.

"It's open." Prism said before putting the box in a bag.

The door soon slid open as Asta soon came climbing up, "Hey Pri? You all set?"

"Yeah, I just got the last of my things together." Prism said she had gotten a set of books.

Asta soon noticed two bags had been set along, "What? Are you planning on bringing the whole room with you?" He joked.

Prism only laughed sheepishly, "Well, it's basically my first time staying in a city, so I don't know what to expect. I gotta be prepared for any--" Prism had soon cut herself off when she found herself tripping. Asta had been quick to act as he went to catch her; the books came toppling down as it nearly hit the both of them.

By the time they both recovered Asta had been on top while Prism was underneath. "Are you okay!?" Asta asked.

"Ye-yeah." Prism replied, "That surprised me is--"

Prism soon cut herself off as she just realized the position she was in. Asta seemed to have realized it as well as they both turned red. Some of the spirits around them had shifted to a familiar red color.

"U-Uh---" Asta said, "--I--"

"U-Um…" Prism tried to say, "--I um--"

"Hey what's all the como--DORKSTA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER?!"

The two jumped as they saw Noelle in view as her head had been poking out through the doorway. "H-Hi Noelle…" Prism said with an awkward wave.

"We were uh--" Asta said as he couldn't seem to get rid of the red on his face; he soon moved from her as he sat on his knees, "--She tripped, and uh--"

Noelle exclaimed as she herself turned red, before she broke out her wand, "STAY AWAY FROM THE PRINCESS YOU PERVERT!"

The next thing anyone knew, Asta's scream could be heard as he went flying out of Prism's bedroom window. The ones that seemed to have caught wind of this had been the ones waiting outside. That had been Yami, Feodora, Karasu and his sister Sachiko, Pluck, the Triple A's and even Vandy. With them had been Brenin, Saorise and Liam as they looked to be sitting on boxes.

"ASTA?!" The Triple A's exclaimed.

"AGAIN!?" Feodora yelled.

"That's the sixth time." Sachiko said.

Pluck sighed before he said, "Get her, Addi."

Addeline got out of her pouch as she said "Quack!"

Addeline soon ran before she caught Asta with her feathers before making sure he landed safely. She soon ran inside the base before they heard a twack followed by a shriek from Noelle.

"ADDI! STOP THAT!" Prism yelled, "YOU CAN'T JUST HIT HER THERE!"

They heard Noelle yell, "GET THAT STICK AWAY FROM ME!"

"QUACK!" Addeline shouted.

It hadn't been long before they heard a gulp from the window. Immediately Pluck panicked, "OH DAMN IT, ADRIEN! SPIT HER OUT!"

He ran back in as they soon heard crashes and collisions which made them jump. "WOULD YOU STOP BREAKING STUFF!" Feodora shouted, "YOU DO KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIX IT LATER WHEN WE COME BACK, RIGHT!?"

"AFTER HE SPITS HER OUT!" Pluck shouted, "ADRIEN DO IT RIGHT NOW! SHE BABY!"

They heard sounds of Adrien's squawks before they heard another shout

"STUPID SILVA! GET OFF OF ME!" Pluck shouted.

"What the hell are they doing…?" Yami couldn't help but wonder aloud as he only gave a look.

***

-Royal Capital-

It had been nearly two hours before everything had calmed down and they finally decided to get a move on. Prism thought she had been in awe by the size of the Clover Castle but boy was she wrong. Never before did she ever see so many people in one place as she thought the Castle Town Kika had been the only place that was crowded in general.

There had been so many people going into one store to the next to mention their outfits had practically shined within the sun.

Neverbefore did she feel so out of place. As she walked through the streets with the group she couldn't help but hide her face with the help of her robe. "Welcome to practically the center of the Clover Kingdom!" Aisling introduced, "The Royal Capital!"

"Home of the world's largest assholes." Feodora said with disgust which made most of the flinch.

"Well, we were going to say the best shops--" Aine said awkwardly, "--Plus clothing stores."

"Only downside, most of them cost a fortune." Aidan said.

"Been there done that sweetheart." Feodora said with a click of her tongue, "These people can just take their ego and shove it up their--OW!"

Yami said while giving her a smack on the head, "Language."

"Wow, everything here is so huge!" Asta said in sheer awe, as his eyes just sparkled while Nero sat at the top of his head; though his face looked to be bruised and red, "Not to mention there's so many things here! Stuff I've never seen before! Don't you think so, Pri?!"

"Ye-Yeah--It's pretty." Prism replied as she stuttered while keeping her head down.

"Well it is the Royal Capital." Pluck said as he had scratches on his face.

"I can't believe people around here live like this everyday--" Karasu said while looking around, "--Must get boring after a while."

"I would too if I had to look at this the whole time." Sachiko said as she averted from the golding lining.

"They're royalty." Noelle added as she had her fair share of scratches. "How can they possibly be bored?"

"Well you tell us, Miss Royal. You seemed to know your way around." Pluck said with a leer. Noelle turned as she gave a glare back

"Can you two go a day without killing each other?" Magna asked.

Pluck and Noelle only turned away with a huff.

"Why are you even here?" Feodora asked Magna, "I thought you had a mission today."

Magna said with pride, "Had to check up on you newbies first plus I need something in front of the royal capital before I go!"

"I don't care where this is, it doesn't change the smell--" Liam said as he covered his nose, "--It especially reeks here."

"I don't get how people can live like this." Brenin said as he had done the same.

"Is it really that bad?" Asta asked.

"Their sense is smell is stronger then regular people." Aidan briefly explained, before he whispered, "So strong in fact they know when someone is--" He soon cleared his throat, "--In heat."

"In heat?" Asta said, confused.

"DON'T TELL HIM THAT!" Liam yelled as he put Aidan in a headlock though his face looked to be a bit red.

Brenin soon said as he slumped and his own face had been red, "Sometimes I wish we didn't…"

"You have no idea the kind of scents we pick up back in our village just from that…" Saorise said as she sounded embarrassed, "... ESPECIALLY from Master Yukio and Cadfan…"

Asta seemed to have gotten the idea as he blushed, "O-Oh…"

Noelle said as she looked embarrassed, "I-I see."

"Don't remind me." Pluck said as his eyes rolled.

"That is actually gross…" Feodora said.

"How do you live with yourselves?" Karasu asked.

"We don't." Brenin and Saorise replied shamefully while Liam clicked his tongue.

"... What does in heat mean?" Sachiko asked curiously, which made Karasu turn as red as a tomato. "Sachiko--" Karasu said before he patted her on the head, "--Ask me again when you're older."

"Huh?" Sachiko said, confused.

"But I want to know what that means!" Vandy said.

"No you don't." Pluck told him

"Wait, is in heat just another fancy way of saying they had s--" Vandy started to say before Pluck immediately shut his mouth. He soon said with a forced smile, "Okay Vandy, that's enough out of you!" He gave a forced laugh as he said, "Wait till you get older."

"So much for knowing." Jubei said with a pout

"Why are you even here?!" Karasu said as Jubei had been riding Pluck's back.

Jubei replied, "Got bored."

"Sure you did, also." Pluck said as he motioned his hand,

"I don't have it!" Jubei said. Magna soon took a swipe from her pocket as he pulled out a butcher's knife. "Really?" Magna said while giving her a look.

"Seriously Jubei, why are you here?" Aisling asked.

"I wanted to see the safehouse Prism's gonna be staying at!" Jubei said.

The Triple A's, Vandy and Pluck soon gave her a look. Immediately she sighed out of defeat, "Fine--I wanted to haggle people in the Royal Capital. Kika isn't doing it for me anymore."

"Again with the haggling!?" Asta exclaimed out of confusion.

"Seriously, what is wrong with your family?!" Noelle said before Pluck bonked her on the head with his Wooden Sword.

"Jubei what did we tell you?!" Aisling said, "You can't just go haggling Nobles!"

"Are you trying to give our family a bad name more than it already is?!" Aine said.

"What?! I want nice things!" Jubei argued.

Pluck told her, "We earn nice things through HARD WORK. Don't be like this studpid girl here." Pluck pointed to Noelle. Though it hadn't been a second later when Pluck gave himself a smack across the face while he shouted, "DAMN IT, WHY DO I DO THIS?!"

"Should I feel insulted right now?" Noelle thought awkwardly.

"Hard work is boring though!" She complained, "I want to haggle!"

"It is not!" Vandy retorted, "And haggling is a crime!"

"It's not unless you get caught!" Jubei said, "Auntie Go says so!"

Pluck's jaw dropped before he shouted, "SHE DID WHAT?!"

"What does your family teach their kids?" Karasu had questioned.

Yami soon said as he turned to look over his shoulder, "Hey morons, we're here."

The group soon stopped in front what they would've assumed to have been the large size buildings; though they were each taken back, as they were shocked to find they had stopped in front of a regular two story house with a small front yard allowing a patch of grass, and even a small little canopy with a garden table. The building had yellow orange bricks and green framed windows with grey roof tiles.

"Uhhhh---" Feodora said just shocked, "--How lovely?"

"It… Doesn't look any different from the Black Bulls Base…" Noelle said while she had a look.

"This is the safehouse…?" Prism said as she had been peeking out from her hood.

"Uh Yami--?" Pluck said, "--Are you sure you got that address right?"

"You think I got it wrong?" Yami told him.

"This doesn't scream...safehouse.." Jubei told them

"Please don't tell me we're robbing an innocent family of their home." Vandy said.

"Why would you think that?" Yami asked.

"Is this really where we're supposed to be staying?" Brenin asked.

"We were better off in that other place." Liam said in a disdainful tone of voice.

"I thought safehouses were supposed to be, you know, subtle?" Asta said.

"Yeah, way to be subtle guys." Karasu said.

Yami turned as he had a look before he asked. "Did I ask for the peanut gallery's opinion?" He soon gestured to the yard, "Look around you."

The group looked over and noticed a set of items around, as they looked to be a set of stones. "Are those Magic Items?" Karasu said.

"Correction--They're cloaking items." Yami said, "This way the whole building will look like the ones here."

"Cloaking items?" Feodora said, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"Won't someone notice?" Noelle asked, "They're out in the open."

Yami had told them, "Nope. They're meant to hide the presence of any sort of magic, including a Spirits mana. This way they won't be able to find the Lizard Girl here."

"That's—" Asta started to say, "—Actually kind of cool."

"Well what are we waiting for!?" Jubei said, "Let's go check out the place so I can haggle!"

"JUBEI!" The Triple A's, Vandy and Pluck shouted.

"What!?" Jubei said, "I need new prey! Now let's go!" With that said Jubei had been the first to run inside before anyone knew it. Though eventually they each went inside the two story building. Prism had shown slight hesitation before she was encouraged by the little spirits to head in.

They each found themselves in what looked to be the common room; they were each taken back by sheer size and how nice it looked, compared to how it looked outside. Everyone had been practically in awe as they looked around.

"Bime i elena!" Prism said in awe.

"W-wow!" Asta said as he looked around, "This place is enormous!"

"Okay...I take back my comment." Pluck said

"S-same here." Noelle added

"I STILL wouldn't wanna live here regardless how nice it is." Liam said

"Holy truffles! It reminds me of home!" Saorise said, before she hook Prism's in hers, "Oh! Look! There's a chessboard! Remember how you used to play that with Papa Rhy in Airedale?"

Prism formed a small smile, "Yeah--He still had the most wins out of those matches though. It always helped that he fell asleep during some of them."

"Well Rhya was a pretty tired guy!" Aidan said with a laugh, "Though he'd get back at you when you cheated with a little prank."

Prism soon laughed as she recalled, "I'd get him back though."

"Rhya?" Asta asked, "Who's Rhya?"

"He was an elf like our mom!" Aine said, "He was a pretty fun guy to hang around, despite the fact that he was sleepy all the time."

Pluck had added, "Mom scolded him for being lazy all the time. That and he was a bit of a pervert."

"Was he a part of the guild like you?" Feodora asked.

"Oh no, but that didn't mean he couldn't put up much of a fight!" Vandy said, "You should've seen how he took out a horde of bandits with the magic he's got under his belt!" His eyes soon sparkled, "It was so cool!"

"Prism was really good friends with him too!" Saorise said, "Well actually her and her mom were super good friends with the guy!"

"Really?" Asta asked as he looked at Prism, "How did your mom know him?"

Prism's expression brightened as she soon had a warm smile on her face, "Oh that's easy! She and him grew up together with Licht and some others!" She soon got a little nervous, as she laughed sheepishly, "And uh--He dated my mom for a little while before she met my dad."

Everyone with the expectation of the Barbados Children and the Triple As was surprised at first when they heard this sort of thing. "YOUR MOM SAW SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE ZEID!?" Asta exclaimed.

"Well yeah--" Prism said, "--Though they still remained really good friends even after my mom and dad married. He was always supportive of their relationship."

"Yeah, and he loved Prism like she was his niece." Saorise said, "It was so cute!"

"Awwww!" Asta said as his eyes lit up.

"But wait, wasn't this Rhya person a pe-" Before Noelle could ask Pluck used his gum sword to tape it shut.

"Nope, none of that crap." Pluck said "I'm not letting you bad mouth Ryha. Only he can do that."

"Why the hell are you pointing at me?!" Liam said with a glare.

"You bad mouth him all the time." Vandy told him

"He only did it because he loved him!" Saorise said as she hugged Liam, "Papa Rhy always loved to tease him about it!" Liam only turned red as he mumbled in response.

"Papa Rhy?" Karasu asked.

"Yeah--" Prism said, "--He adopted Saorise after the Bonding Ceremony, when they were made my Familiars."

Pluck said as he facepalmed himself, "Again with that?"

"What? He's my papa and he never minded it." Saorise said, "You called Fana, Auntie Fa!"

"When I was like nine!" Pluck said as he turned red.

"That still doesn't change the fact you thought of her as an aunt." She argued.

Pluck exclaimed as he flailed his arms, "Hey! That's none of your business!"

Noelle gave a laugh despite the gum on her mouth before Pluck increased it as it spreaded around her face as she screeched trying to get it off.

"Alright, alright--" Yami said, before he dropped the set of luggages nearly on Pluck's toe, "--Get unpacking and go pick out your rooms--" He soon pointed to Prism, "--And you come with me."

"Wait wha--?" Prism started to say before she was dragged off while Adrien let out a squawk in her pouch, "Wai-Wait why?!"

Yami told her, "You'll see." He soon used his magic to grab Brenin, Saorise and Liam, "You three too!"

"WAIT WHY US?!" Brenin exclaimed.

"PUT US DOWN!" Liam yelled.

"He-Help! We need an adult!" Saorise shouted.

Yami had responded with, "I am an adult."

Saorise's face soon paled, "Bime i elena, you're right!"

"Guys?!" Asta exclaimed.

"Is he kidnapping them?!" Feodora shouted.

"I should go...negotiate with them" Pluck said as he followed

As Yami left with Prism and the familiars, Noelle was running around like a maniac as she was trying to get the gum off with the sword splattering wads all over before crashing into a wall and falling on the floor, knocking over Magna and Karasu.

"Uhh aren't you forgetting something?" Karasu asked with a groan.

"Nope." Pluck repiled

Magna soon shouted as it made Pluck jump, "YOUR GUM SWORD?! IT'S GETTING STUCK ON MY FACE!"

Pluck said with a scoff, "You have your fire magic. You can melt it."

SPLAT--Went an odd sound as Pluck started to freak out; seeing as how some of the gum had been stuck to his shoe. "Huh?" Pluck asked. "How did--" He soon shrieked, "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME IT FELT SO SLIMY!? GET IT OFF!! WHY IS IT HAPPENING TO ME?!"

"YOU'RE JUST FIGURING THAT OUT NOW?!" Feodora yelled as some gum was on her hands, "GAH! I HATE THIS!!"

"At least it's not your hair." Magna told her. Though immediately after he said this, some of it did land in her hair which made them freeze. "Stuck UP---" She growled as her eyes shifted, "--YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO DISPELL THIS."

"GET THIS STUFF OFF OF US!" Noelle yelled muffled.

"HURRY PLUCK DISPEL IT OR SOMETHING!" Asta shouted.

Pluck shouted, "Hold on!" he got out his grimoire, only to have dropped it. "SERIOUSLY!?" He exclaimed.

"I'M DOWN TO THREE." Feodora growled as the white streak came back.

Pluck shouted as he struggled, "I'M HURRYING!"

Karasu only tapped his finger on the floor as he didn't bother to fight it off. He looked to the siblings, "How do you deal with this sort of thing?"

"We don't." The Triple A's said.

Vandy added with a shrug, "this is normal for us."

"URGE TO KILL IS RISING." Feodora growled as her magic manifested.

"BRO SHE'S GONNA GO OFF!" Aisling exclaimed.

Jubei shouted, "HURRY IT UP!"

"CALM YOURSELF, YOU WALKING TIME BOMB I'M DOING AS BEST AS I CAN!" Pluck shouted as he flipped through the pages of his grimoire like a madman.

***

-One Dispel Later-

After everything had calmed down everyone went up to the second floor to check out the rooms they would be staying in temporarily. When they opened the doors they were taken back by the size and decorator. The rooms had looked similar to that of a cabin; they could even swear that the smell even felt the same.

"This is so cool!" Asta exclaimed as he jumped on the bed, "I thought the ones in the Black Bulls were big but this--It's like we're on vacation or something!"

"Once again." Pluck said as his face looked to be a bit bruised, "I take it back. This looks nice."

Noelle added as she had red marks on her face, "Agreed. Maybe there's a bath somewhere. I still have Gum in other places i will not mention."

Vandy soon jumped in the room from another door as he practically slammed it open, "Check it out! Some of the rooms are connected together! It's like we're neighbors or something!"

"Okay that's pretty cool." Feodora said.

"I never knew there were rooms like that!" Asta said.

"I don't know how I feel about that…" Pluck said as he made a look.

Noelle had added, "isn't there like a separate room we can stay in?"

"doesn' t seem like it." Karasu said with a shrug, "Though on the plus side, if there's an emergency it'll be easier to get to the kids."

"He's got you there." Asta said.

Sachiko soon came into the room, "Guys you gotta check the size of this bathtub! It's like we have our own private lake!"

"Jacuzzi or regular?" Karasu asked.

"Jacuzzi!" Sachiko said gleefully.

At this their eyes sparkled in awe, even Pluck's. "We NEVER had a jacuzzi before!" Aine said excitedly.

"I've never been in a jacuzzi before!" Asta said.

Pluck added as he couldn't help but jump in place, "Oh man! This rocks!"

"About time." Noelle said as she came in front of everyone "I'm gonna go wash this gum off."

Pluck gave a leer before he said "Yeah yeah, don't drown on the way there, Princess." Immediately afterwards Pluck pinched himself as he yelled, "WHY?!"

"Okay seriously--" Magna said, "--You doing alright there?"

"NO! NO THANKS TO THAT SPOILED PRINCESS!" He yelled as Noelle had gotten out a couple of towels. Noelle told him while giving him a look, "Well unlike you peasant, this 'Princess' wouldn't have gotten dirty because of YOUR unstable magic." She soon left in a huff as she went towards the bathroom.

Pluck growled as he said "Well at least i don't go around looking down on others, stupid Silva! Maybe that bath can wash your attitude!"

Noelle growled as she said, "watch it, you--"

"Good grief you two quit fighting already!" Magna said, before he said to the teens, "Look you guys, I know this seems nice in all but remember you got a job to do! The actual Princess requested you guys specifically to be her bodyguards, until we know for a fact she's in the clear from the Diamond Kingdom! You newbies gotta be prepared!"

"You don't need to tell us twice you know." Feodora said, "We're not gonna let anything happen to the shorty."

Asta had a smile as well as he added, "Yeah! We'll stop them before they even have a chance! Plus--Feo, Yuno and I made a promise to her, so we'll be there for her no matter what!"

"We won't have a repeat of last time." Pluck added as he had a smile as well, "We'll stomp down the Diamond Kingdom and protect Prism, even if we run into that smoke guy!"

"Speaking of which--" Aine said, "--I'm surprised Yami requested us for the back up."

Aidan added as he said, "Yeah I wonder why."

"Guys don't you know what this means?" Aisling asked, "He's giving us an opportunity to prove ourselves as Magic Knights! No more small missions for us anymore! Maybe we can go on dangerous missions like Pl-"

"Absolutely not." Pluck said as he pulled down her hat to her face.

"Aw but Pluck!" Aisling complained as she removed her hat.

Pluck told her, "No excuses, plus you still have a long way to go with your magic. Same goes for you two."

"Awww." Aine said with a pout.

"While I'm proud, I still don't see why I'm here--" Vandy said, "--I get Sachiko because she's Karasu's little sister but why me?"

"Because mom and dad said you've been slacking on your studies." Aidan said.

"Now that I can agree on." Pluck said with a nod.

"Who said I'm slacking on my studies!" Vandy said.

Addeline whacked his hand as she said "QUACK!"

"Ow! Addi!" Vandy whined.

"Mom and dad put me in charge of all of your studies--" Pluck said before he had a devious smile on his face before he said, "--Which means starting tomorrow we're gonna double down."

"YOU'RE A MONSTER!!" Vandy shouted as he fell to his knees.

Pluck said as he laughed evilly, "I'm doing this because I care."

"That smile says otherwise." Feodora said.

"Wow..good thing I don't have any siblings." Magna said.

"Pluck you shouldn't be mean to your little siblings!" Asta had said.

Before Pluck could say anything, they soon jumped when they heard the sound of Liam's screams. They all peaked out the door as they realized that it had been coming from the room just near the staircase. They all paled as they could hear Liam scream again.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME DAMN IT!" They heard him shout as they could hear the sound of the wall banging.

They soon heard Yami in the same room, "Hold still!"

They were taken back when they heard the loud bang come again. "DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS THERE!" They heard Liam yell, "ARE YOU ASKING TO DIE?!"

They heard Yami shout, "THAT'S MY LINE! I COULD SUE YOU, YOU KNOW!"

"Uh should we really be present for this?" They could hear Prism say in the room.

Each of the teens, even Magna just looked down terrified as they could hear Liam's scream. "Is he--" Feodora started to say, "--Is he torturing him in there?"

Pluck said as he shivered, "Would you call THAT tourture?"

"I-It sounds like he's dying in there…" Aisling said as she hugged her siblings.

"I-I've never heard Liam scream like that before…" Aidan said.

"Wha-What the heck is he doing to them in there?" Asta asked as he hugged Feodora.

"I-I have no idea…" Karasu said as he shook, "Though… I feel like we shouldn't disturb them…"

Pluck had said with a gulp, "maybe i should go help--"

"No you don't buster." Magna said, stopping him.

They soon heard the sound of banging again as it made them jump. "Wha--What could he be doing in there?" Asta wondered aloud.

***

Liam had been growling in his seat as he had been put in an outfit that had been nothing to his own liking. He had been wearing a white collared shirt with a bolo tie and a brown vest and a set of dark brown pants with a set of workboots. He had been practically showing his teeth towards Yami as he looked satisfied.

"I HATE this..." Liam said as the hair on his ears had been up.

"You'll thank me later." Yami told him.

"I can't believe you managed that without getting bitten." Prism said just dumbfounded, "Or burned. Or stabbed by his antlers. Either way--That was insane!"

"Are--Are you sure you're a human?" Saorise asked.

"No no, I think he's a devil." Brenin told her as his tail swayed.

Yami said with a laugh, "Nice joke!"

"I wasn't kidding." Brenin thought awkwardly.

"I still don't get this--" Liam said as he stood up before he pulled on his shirt, "--Why the hell are you playing dress up with us?! Our uniforms were fine!"

Yami had said while he took a puff, "You want to get spotted easily? No thanks."

"YOU COULD'VE TOLD US THAT INSTEAD OF DRAGGING US OFF?!" Liam yelled.

Yami had replied, "you would have refused either way."

Liam was about to retort but he said, "You're just lucky that was an easy question!"

"I don't know--" Prism said, "--I thought it was enough that I was just hiding my ears and for them to wear Magical Items like Plu-Plu and the others, so no one could tell us apart."

Yami soon explained, "We could do that but with the situation as it is, we'll never know so we have to take extra steps to make sure you're safe and not recognizable. Especially since guys from the Diamond Kingdom have already seen you."

Prism soon started to look oddly nervous as did the little Spirits, whil Adrien who had no been regular size let out a curious noise as he tilted his head, "We-Well it's just that, I haven't exactly worn anything else since I--How you guys put it, earn my stripes in the guild. It was different when I was a kid but well--" She soon groaned, "--What am I saying, it's embarrassing."

"Well you're gonna have to step out of your comfort zone then." He soon took a set of clothes before he handed each one to Brenin and Saorise, "That means you guys too."

"I--Guess you make a good po--" Saorise started to say before she unfolded her outfit. Immediately her eyes sparkled, "BIME I ELENA THIS DRESS IS SO CUTE!" She soon hugged it as she started to wiggle a little while her ears flapped, "I wanna take it home~!"

"No." Liam and Brenin said in unison, as it made her flinch.

Brenin soon unfolded his own before he noticed the design, "Is--Is this supposed to be a jacket?" He asked as he looked at it.

Yami replied, "Obviously, hurry it up and put it on."

"These outfits--" Prism said, "--Are they from Julius?"

"Who else?" Yami said, as he found the outfit Prism was supposed to wear in a case provided, "The clothes are supposed to cloak the presence of mana, which makes it perfect for you since--" He soon gestured to the spirits who looked to be in the color of yellow, "--You've always got those guys hanging around you, and the Familiars considering they got their own large portions of mana."

Yami had been taken back a little as he noticed how confused Brenin, Saorise and Liam looked; Even Prism looked confused. "Large portions…?" Brenin said as he tilted his head.

"Do we really have that?" Saorise asked.

"You're not making that up are you?" Liam said.

"Did you guys have it? I don't think I can remember." Prism said as she felt her head hurt a little.

Yami couldn't help but look a little dumbfounded, "you mean you never knew?"

"Well… No." Saorise replied.

"Since we were forbidden from getting one of these--" Brenin said as he showed off his grimoire, "--We didn't have the time to worry about things like that."

"Plus we have our other senses to help us." Liam said as he turned his head to the side, "Yes we have magic, and have used it to fight off Bandits and Hunters, but we didn't worry about the little details like you guys with grimoires."

At this Yami couldn't help but facepalm himself, "Damn it we have work to do. Though it's gonna have to wait. Hurry up and change into those."

"While we're still in the room?" Brenin asked.

"You can have your backs to each other." Yami reasoned.

Brenin and Saorise both looked at one another before shrugging; they soon had their backs turned to one another before they started to change into the outfits they had. Liam soon turned around as he sat on the floor.

"So… Where's my outfit?" Prism asked.

"I've got it right here--" Yami said holding the folded clothes, "--Though I won't lie, this is gonna get awkward."

"Why would you say that?" She asked.

Yami didn't answer as he stepped over to her before he placed his hand on her shoulder. It took all but a moment for it to click in Prism's head that had her turn red.

"No, no, no, no, no!" She immediately said as she tried to get free, "I can do it myself! I can change just fine!"

Yami replied as all he did was keep his grip on her, "Come on, don't be stupid. You're still recovering, can't take the chance of aggravating your wounds you know?"

Prism could only let out a squeak as she tried her best to break free but couldn't. Soon enough she felt him give a tug on her shirt as she started to fight back instinctively.

Yami only told her as she struggled, "Hey, hold still will ya? You're not a cat so quit fussing!"

On the outside, most of the others paled at the sound of Prism as Pluck had been shaking while his jaw dropped. "Oh no! He's torturing her now?!" Aisling exclaimed.

"Seriously, what is he doing in there?!" Asta exclaimed.

Pluck shouted as he had gotten out his grimoire, "THAT'S IT! IMMA COMING!"

"NO YOU IDIOT!" Magna shouted as he held him back just as he was ready to break out his wooden sword, "CAPTAIN YAMI'S GONNA MURDER YOU IN YOUR SLEEP IF YOU GO BARGING IN THERE!"

Pluck yelled as he kicked his legs, "LET GO! LET GO!"

As this was going on Noelle came in with her towel as she said "Do you mind? Some of us are trying to enjoy a relaxing bath, you know?"

"Who cares about you? Yami's doing something to Pri!"" Pluck said before he facepalmed himself, "Damn it, I did it again!"

"What do you mean doing something to--" Noelle started to say before they were taken back by a shriek.

"Seriously stop, I can do that myself!" They heard her say through the door.

Then soon came Yami's reply, "No you can't, just hold still."

They heard Prism shriek in surprise, "Why are your hands so cold?!"

"That is--" Pluck started to say before his face turned red, as his nostrils flared, "--ILLEGAL!!" He bit on Magna's hand forcing him to let go before he shoved Noelle slightly out of the way and ran towards the door.

"Rude." Noelle said with a huff. "How is he friends with her?"

"Wait is he gonna--" Feodora started to say as they saw him charge headfirst—Literally.

"NO BRO!" Aisling yelled, "DON'T USE YOUR HEAD!"

"THIS IS NOT THE WAY!" Vandy added.

Pluck yelled as he ran at the door like a bull on a rampage, "CAPTAIN!!!! I'M COMING IN!!!"

The moment Pluck was inches away from the door, it swung open before he was met with the boot of Yami; they were all taken back when he was sent flying right into the wall. "PLUCK!?" Asta exclaimed.

"...Pain… All I know is pain.." Pluck said

Yami soon shouted at Pluck, "KEEP IT DOWN WILL YA? GO BOTHER THE REST OF YOUR SQUAD OR SOMETHING!" The door slammed shut as the sheer sound made them all jump. "That was…" Noelle said as she went back into the bathroom, "... Odd."

"I've--Got unpacking to do." Karasu said as he took Sachiko towards a room nearby.

"S-same.." Feodora said as she went in the same direction.

Magna turned to the kids as he said "He-hey why don't you kids help your brother out, huh?

"S-sure." Aisling said

"R-roger." Vandy added

"O-oh kay.." Adian said as they got together ready to pull him out. "On the count of three..one two--"

They got Pluck out as they all fell on the ground. Pluck couldn't help but complain, "Why did I choose this squad again?"

"He-Hey--" Asta said awkwardly, "--Why don't we go see what's in the kitchen?"

Pluck replied as he limped down the stairs, "Yeah sure…" With that said, most of them had vacated themselves from the area before they could because of any more trouble.
