Sushi

It had been a couple hours since Steven had been dragged away to help at Felix's shop. As for me and everyone else, we were eating dinner at a sushi place.

While everyone was eating and talking with each other, I was sitting here chatting with Emma so I could get caught up on what happened.

"So… Emma?" I looked over at her from across the table.

"Yeah?" She responded.

"What's with the spear on Steven's back? I thought he preferred using swords like me." I asked while taking a bite out of my food.

"It's a Genmochi he found. He was able to unlock its powers when he managed to activate his aura."

I nearly spat out my drink when she said that.

So not only did Steven find a Genmochi he can use, but he also managed to unlock his aura? Now that was something I had to see for myself. Maybe once he's done helping Felix I can spar with him for a bit?

"Forgive me for intruding on your conversation but the topic of aura has always been of interest to me. I'm curious as to what kind of aura Steven holds." Akari suddenly said, catching both me and Emma off guard.

Emma fidgeted in her seat for a moment, "I can't see aura so I don't really know what to tell you."

Akari leaned back in her chair and had an obvious bummed out expression on her face.

"How did he activate it though? Was it like me where someone acted as a gateway or did he do it himself?" I asked.

"I think he managed to unlock it himself from sheer willpower." Emma answered my question and took a drink from her glass.

I was going to ask other questions but it was clear to me that she was exhausted. Any more questions would have to wait for another day. In the meantime, I needed to find an inn to stay at and something to keep my mind occupied for the week.
