Chapter 7 Act II: Unknown Figure

*It was a pretty sad day as usual after the harsh incident our friends went through. Hopefully something changes who knows.*

*4 hours later after Yuki woke up.*

Mika: "How're you feeling?"

Yuki: "Much better."

*The Doctor walked in*

Sandro: "Miss Yuki, your medicine. Its from our trusted mage Stella."

*He hands the medicines over to Carmina*

Sandro: "Give these to your sister right now and in.. 6 more hours and tomorrow she will be free to go from the hospital. Have my number. This way you can contact me if anything else happens."

*He hands her a small ripped paper with his phone number on it.*

Carmina: "Thank you so much Dr.Sandro... If it wasn't for you i don't know what i could've do.."

Sandro: "No need to thank just me. But it was my pleasure to help you. Now remember what i told you and then let your sister rest for tomorrow okay?"

Carmina: "Understood. Will do my best."

*Dr.Sandro left the room leaving them all alone.*

Traveler: "Need some help?"

Yuki: "I.." *breathes heavily* "I don't have the energy to get up just yet.."

Traveler: "Don't worry. A small boost and it'll help ya." *He helps her up just so her sister could give her the medicine Dr.Sandro provided.*

Carmina: "There ya go. Small sips alright? I know you're barely capable of anything for now."

*Athena just stood there in the corner of the room worried texting her mother.*

**"Mother... Who is the trusted mage? That's something Dr.Sandro told us about.."**

**Izumi: "You needn't worry Athena. Stella is a young trusted mage in Iceland. Her abilities can help her make various medicines as well as to help others in combat. She has a lot of work on her back but when something bad happens it becomes a priority."**

**"Alright.. thanks... When are you done with work?"**

**Izumi: "Well i finished my meeting and i'm back in my office waiting for President Jess to handle me the last paperwork for today. You can always come to my office. I will never let you out of anything alright?"**

**"Yeah i know... We'll be there soon."**

*She puts her phone down and walks up to them.*

Athena: "I talked to mother. She said that she finished her work and is awaiting us anytime in her office. Are yall coming?"

*All said yes with the exception of Carmina standing by to watch her sister.*

Traveler: "Let's go. We'll follow you."

*As so, they left the room and went over to Izumi's office*

*Inside her office.*

Izumi: "Hey! I've been awaiting yall! How's Yuki? Is she any better?"

Mika: "She is thanks to you.. I'm grateful for everything you've done for us Miss Izumi.."

Izumi: "Well it was my pleasure to assist. After seeing you unleash your true anger in protecting your best friend i see a deep connection between you two. Hope you two will make it far together. As for you, our dear Traveler. I will give you the title of NeverFrosting Warrior of Iceland. You've done a lot and i cannot be more thankful for what you've done."

Traveler: "I've lost a lot of friends back where i was. I could'nt bear to lose more now... I will accept your reward gracefully."

Izumi: "Oh? But where's Carmina? Did she remain inside her sister's room?"

Athena: "Yea, she has to give her medicines every 6 hours only for today i presume..? Because Dr.Sandro never specified if they should've been given even after Yuki's release. And she remained there."

Izumi: "Glad to hear it. Sit down yall. Let's have a coffee together."

Traveler: "Is it okay if you have any tea? I'm not much into coffee."

*She nods and goes to prepare them.*

Traveler: "Wow Athena.. i never realized you had such a caring mother.."

Athena: "Well... Sometimes she's caring, sometimes she's scary.. just like me ;), and well she rarely has any sad moments."

Mika: "Definitely noticeable. She's like really cold emotional wise. She never flinches and barely shows much sad emotion. She's mostly happy even after working a 9-5."

Athena: "9 to 5? She's working 24/7! But don't worry she gets sleep as well but not everytime."

Traveler: "Really? Then im guessing her coffee is pretty good if it holds ya awake that much."

*She came back*

Izumi: "There ya go sweeties. Have a drink, and don't let it get cold."

*Someone came in the room holding some papers*

?: "Izumi? Ah there you are! There's your paperwork for today. Complete it until tomorrow afternoon at 2PM because i will need them after and then you can have a free week."

Izumi: "Thanks Jess. Its like you know me.." *she takes the documents* "Anything else from me?"

Jess: "Uh not really. Just this. Also i heard about the girl you've put under Dr.Sandro's care. You did a good job there. You might get a salary increase. You know i like when others save others's lives."

Izumi: "Did the best i could.. our school was in danger just yesterday. I had to intervene physically to stop the ambush. But everything was settled. That's mostly it."

Jess: "Great! Then i'll leave you to it! Goodluck! And see you tomorrow at 2PM with you know what. ;)."

Izumi: "Yea.. yea.. i know.. great day in advance boss!"

*She left*

Izumi: "Finally now that is done.. let's start with this... 700 page.. fk me..."

Athena: "Need a hand? You know i've done it before."

Izumi: "I know you've played these games before. Hop on if you want. I wont force ya if you have other work to do."

Athena: "Nah all good mother! You know i care about ya."

Traveler: "How hard is that? Maybe i can help too."

Izumi: "Its very complicated.. Me and Athena have done it a lot of times. She has some experience."

Traveler: "Oh, alright then! No problem!"

Mika: "Wanna grab Ice cream?"

Traveler: "S-sure! Do yall want any?"

Athena: "Ooh! Get me some strawberry flavored one!"

Izumi: "Cherry one suits me."

Mika: "Noted! Let's go!"

*She held her hand out.*

Traveler: **"Remember! No holding hands! Even with her!"** *Said he in his mind* "Sorry but no holding hands. Just usual walking works."

Mika: "Okay then."

*They slammed the door upon leaving*

Izumi: "Hey! Don't Slam my door!"

*Outside the Tea party headquarters*

Mika: "Where was it again...?"

Traveler: "Hey there's a shop there! On your left."

Mika: "Huh?" *Turns* "Ah yes! Let's go."

*They went to the left seeing a shop so they just went there. What did you expect? They'd find heaven?*

*Inside*

Shopkeeper: "Welcome! What can i get ya today Miss?"

?: "Can i have the Cursed Flavor Ice Cream? And a Orange Juice bottle please."

Shopkeeper: "Sure! That'll be 10,000 Bucks please."

*The little girl hands the money and gets her order. But upon leaving she spots two familiar figures the doctor told her about.*

?: "Excuse me? Are you two Mika and i guess Traveler?"

Mika: "Yea that's us. Can we help you?"

?: "If i remember correctly you are the ones Dr.Sandro told me about.. oh sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Tanaki Stella, the mage who gave your doctor the medicine for i remember Patient Yuki."

Traveler: "Oh you're the one who helped us! You're the mage! But aren't you young for magic?"

Stella: "I'm 14.. but trust me i learned Magic and Necromancy at 6. I do these since 10. Im experienced enough."

Mika: "Definitely! Thanks for helping my friend! I didnt think we'd get to meet ya in person."

*Stella smiled pleased to hear that she could help.*

Stella: "Mm-hmm. It didnt take much of my time. So i did my best. Well it was nice seeing you two! I gotta dip! See ya!"

*Before they got to wave goodbye she left.*

Shopkeeper: "Welcome! How may i help you?"

Mika: "Hello there! We'd like a Strawberry flavored Ice cream, a Cherry flavored one. And.. what do you want?"

Traveler: "I'll take a vanilla one."

Mika: "A vanilla and a chocolate flavored ice cream please. And put the Strawberry and Cherry flavored in a ice bag if possible.. its for our 2 friends and they live a bit far from here. Just so it doesnt melt."

Shopkeeper: "Yeah! I completely understand! I'll be right back!"

*After 3 minutes*

Shopkeeper: "Here you go! That will be 23,000 Bucks please!"

*Mika and Traveler split 11,500 bucks each*

Shopkeeper: "Thanks! Have a great day!"

*They wave and return to Izumi's office.*

Athena: "Hey you're back!"

Izumi: "You know you slammed my door just now!"

Mika: "Im sorry Miss Izumi.. we apologize.."

Traveler: "Seriously! We didnt mean to!"

Izumi: "Its okay.. don't worry! Now let's dig in the Ice creams! We just finished here as well."

Traveler: "But its been 13 minutes!? How do yall finish a 700 page paperwork this fast!?"

Izumi: "Don't think of me as an old slut here. I'm more capable than you'd think alright?"

*They licked their Ice creams while having a fun chat and ended the day.*
