Bye

"You are leaving? Where? Why? and again, why?!"

Emerald thought she asked calmly even if her voice wavered little, even if they weren't so close, with all that too belonging to other groups or factions of Aegis harem, Emerald still thought that their relationship somehow close one.

"I- yea, I mean... Look, you know my history, right?"

Ciri asked, to which Emerald nodded, there were little off secrets that Emerald wasn't privy to as both girl of Cinder and Aegis, Emerald practically had access to all secrets Solitas hid, which were a lot...

Like seriously, Emerald still shook in not fear but uneasy when she read one of the more unsavory experiments or projects Solitas hid behind velvet curtains...

"Well, then you know I have family out there, of course, Schnee's my family too! But..."

"But you miss them, right?"

Emerald asked, even if she herself was never family type, with her being orphan on streets and all that before Cinder found her, Emerald's time in Schnee family made her realize she missed something she didn't before even have, now thinking about it, Emerald truly didn't know what would she did if she was like Ciri stranded from her family, so she took pity on the poor girl who was as old as she, but more...

Innocent...

No, not innocent, Emerald thought, it was that Ciri's view of the world was different from hers, making Ciri look more innocent even if she probably killed much more humans or rather sentient beings than Emerald herself...

"Yes... I miss Geralt, Yen, Triss, and all witchers from wolf school that are more like uncles to me than teachers... Hell, I don't even know if they are still alive... They are strong, but... The bullshit they were going through every day..."

"Someone would say that it would make them more experienced?"

Emerald lightly said, which was probably fault as Ciri frowned...

"Yes... Someone, but... After learning from Aegis, I can't help but worry, how many times he told me that Luck was a fickle thing..."

"Ah yes... And when someone of Aegis caliber says this, then it's a fact..."

Emerald said, knowing that Ciri was right, most things Aegis made clear to them was that nothing was sure, taking things as granted was the first step you could make on the way to losing everything you had.

"Yes, so I want to go, before Aegis comes back, I... I don't know if I could go if he was there..."

Ciri said as she looked on the said, making Emerald's eyes widen a little...

"Ah, I see..."

Emerald said, noticing the look Ciri had in her emerald eyes, the look of the girl in love, the same look Emerald saw in the mirror when she thought about Cinder and Aegis...

"He would let you, you know that, right? Hell, he would even help you to find them."

"I know! I just... I don't think I would want to leave him, not when he would be so close to me, and I know he would gladly help me, go with me, but that would mean taking him away from you all, plus he would be a father soon, I can't make him leave you, even if for a short while, and risk him missing the birth of his own daughter's..."

Ciri said and Emerald nodded as she stood up and, to Ciri's shock, hugged her tightly.

"Thanks for thinking about it like this... Are you sure you want to do this? How would you find them? I thought that your way of travel is..."

"Random?"

Ciri said with a little shaky laugh as she returned the hug with strength.

"Well, yes."

Emerald said with a smile as her red eyes looked into Ciri's emerald ones.

"I did train and, with Harriet's, Merlin's, Fawkes's, and others' help, I think I know how to navigate between worlds, yes I still would miss, but at least now I know how to find my way."

Ciri said as she suddenly pulled her arm up, showing Emerald a clear bracelet that had a snowflake symbol on it, the Schnee family symbol...

"Plus, I have this, the same thing they are now using in locating Aegis, with this, you would know where im or where to find me."

Ciri said, and Emerald nodded at her idea.

"And what about his hunt? How they were called."

Emerald said as she thought.

"The Wild Hunt... I have a surprise for them."

Ciri said but didn't elaborate, Emerald looked at her questioningly, but seeing Ciri being silent, Emerald didn't push, what Ciri didn't say was that thanks to Wizard Earth magic, she now sported multiple dimensional packs full of grenades and Solitas military-grade heavy weapons that were used against armored enemies, Ciri knew that her surprise would be very surprising for The Wild Hunt, once she starts shooting them anti-material rifles and grenade launchers...

Plus all that plasma weapons and hard light swords, Ciri had as gifts for witchers plus multiple magic theory books for Yen and big sis Triss, yes normally Solitas didn't share their technology, especially weapons, but Ciri is part of the Schnee family which made all these rules and laws null...

Plus, even if they were there a short time, Ciri learned a lot of things from Scathach, now she understood why even Aegis revered her...

And, and Ciri wanted to look if Vi was alright, as lastly, Vi helped her with buying Ciri time to run as Wild Hunt crashed Vi's car, Ciri still felt terrible and very indebted to her as Vi was the reason Ciri was able to get away and meet Aegis and her new family...

Still, after seeing Solitas cities, Ciri was not happy to see the slums of Night City...

--------------------------

"Aegis!!!"

Aika shouted as she saw Aegis walk through campus, surprised seeing him there, and making girls and boys look at her in surprise, but once they looked at the person she shouted, their faces changed into that of shock as whispers arose...

Aika ignored them all as she caught herself, suddenly embarrassed for shouting, not that she cared what others thought, but she didn't know Aegis that well, as Aika was suddenly worried that she oversteps something and made Aegis possibly displeased with her...

That line of thought ended when Aika saw Aegis's face change from cold or rather aloof one into one of smile that made girls behind Aika squeee like sounds and boys hiss sounds.

"Aika, how wonderful to see you there."

"Y-you remembered my name?!"

Aika said, just to almost slap herself for even asking, thinking he now thought of her as a weirdo.

"Yes? I don't forget names, especially of cute things."

"C-c-c-cute?!"

Aika's face reddened, Aika ignored the shouts behind her of jealous girls who heard what Aegis said.

What Aegis didn't elaborate that more than her looks, Aegis found Aika's behavior cute and refreshing one...

"So this is the school you spoke about?"

Aegis said, making Aika nod her head as she realized that Aegis was throwing her saving rope, which made her face redden again as she realized that Aegis must know of her inner thoughts, something that made Aika nervous.

"Y-yes!"

Aika said as she looked around.

"So, when im there, and I do have time, will you show me that Yaoi club of yours? Or the work you made as I don't think the school would permit the creation of such club."

Aegis lightly said, making Aika's eyes widen in surprise.

"What? I did say I like all kinds of art."

Aegis said, chuckling as he saw most of the girl's faces go completely red and boys' faces pale, Aegis understood that not all were comfortable with other orientation, something Aegis was not truly concerned with, not when he had so many souls in him that practically made him the most experienced in all kinds of sexual preferences, Aegis still tried to forget the knowledge of sex with fridge or how that was even humanly possible...

No need to say that the soul with that knowledge was being bullied or rather beaten by other souls for even making them see it...

Truly some knowledge was best to be left unknown...

"Really?! I mean, of course, you can see! I already made manga of the pair I spoke about!"

Aika said giddily, still grasping the fact that Aegis was not put off her hobby, one thing was Aegis was handsome, like really handsome, Aika thought that Aegis looked soo much better than Kiba, and it was not just by his looks, it was like air around Aegis was so much different, so much more mature...

And he was straight! Plus, he liked her Yaoi ideas! It was not rare, it was almost impossible to find handsome of Aegis caliber who was straight and didn't find her likes disgusting...

"Well? Lead the way."

Aegis said easily as Aika's eyes sparkled, Aegis noticed how she for a second looked down where his pants were, just to mutter monster as she quickly turned around and made Aegis follow her.

Aegis's face was smiling, but his eyes sharpened when he felt another presence near the Kuoh town, still, once Aegis was sure it was not stronger than Krull or Neo when she got dirty Aegis easied, knowing his girls were alright...

"So why did you come there? I thought you already got out of school?"

Aika asked as she shot Aegis's look, her brown hair cutely framing her face as her golden eyes shone with curiosity through the thick frames of her glasses.

"Mhn, I was visiting Rias and others."

"You know Rias-senpai?! I mean, of course, you do, you are as handsome as they are beautiful..."

Aika said as her face fell more and more until she felt something on her head, which made her face go red when she realized it was Aegis's hand that rested on her head.

"Do not try to measure to them, all have their own natural beauty, and you. Aika, you are beautiful in your own way, not lacking to Rias and others that you think are better than you... They aren't, all of you are unique..."

Aegis said as his ice-blue eyes locked with Aika's golden ones...

(Thump, thump.)

Aika's face reddened as her eyes glazed, and her heart pounded in her chest...

"Hmmm..."

"Is something wrong?"

Album asked as Moira stopped her humming.

"Do these demons look intelligent to you?"

"Not really, they have some kind of intelligence, just how much is just unknown, at least until we make at least one of them talk."

Album said as they looked at the demons who were trashing against their restraints in the cell slash operation room where they were dissected alive...

"Then how come they have such highly advanced weaponry?"

Moira asked as Album's processor stilled for a moment.

"Oh my..."

Album muttered as she finally realized something as she quickly showed all data and videos of demons that were equipped with weapons that were so different from their standard looks and overall theme...

"Someone made them into weapons, even more than they already are..."

Album muttered.

"Mn, not surprising, it is no secret that sole reason we aren't babbling fools hungry for kills and flesh is that our Aura protected us from Ardent influences, but not all worlds could be so lucky as to have Aura..."

Moira said as she looked at the weapons on the demons' bodies, now unusable as they didn't want to risk for demons to shoot them, or worse.

"So they have some highly advanced world under siege?"

"Or just part of it, we don't know how demons normally operate their invasions, it is clear that our resistance made them hesitate, their normal feral behavior would otherwise make them attack us without pause, and yet they do not, and rather try new methods of invasion..."

Moira said as she read the report of colossal demon appearance and quick disappearance when he was met with the full power of solitas fleet kinetic barrage...

"We need more clues, send a request for more demons, I want to see just how much we could glean from them."

Moira said as Album nodded her head...
