The next day.
Kai and the others headed straight to Rena's mansion to pick up Felice for this mission.
However, Kai didn't tell Felice anything about this, so when they arrived in front of the gate, only Rena came out to greet them.
"Well, this is certainly imposing." Rena smiled and looked at Kai and his teammates. There was a different feeling Kai exerted when he was together with his teammates. "You are certainly different from what I expect… Should I say, it's truly amazing to see someone change when they're together with their original team?"
"It's called responsibility." Kai shook his head helplessly as he watched Rena opening the gate for them.
However, the moment it was fully opened, another suddenly appeared and leaped to them.
"Evan!" It was none other than Leisa.
"Geh!" Evan's eyebrows twitched as he saw someone falling onto him. In the end, he opened his arms and caught her to avoid her from falling to the ground.
Evan ended up princess carrying her while sighing. "You shouldn't do something like this… It's dangerous."
"Ehehe…" Leisa only made a big smile, letting out a chuckle to express her feelings.
"Look, he can't just be honest…" Michelle chuckled, teasing Evan again.
"…" Evan fell silent and looked away.
"So, what are you planning to do? I don't think you are here to deliver this guy, right?" Rena asked while glancing over Evan.
"Yes. I want to pick Felice up for a little mission. Of course, Evan will stay here during this time out of his own will." Kai cheekily smiled as if he wanted to tease Evan.
"What? Is that true?" Leisa's expression brightened as she looked at Evan with puppy eyes, hoping everything was not just false hope.
"Only for three days…" Evan sighed and answered honestly.
"Yay! I love you!" Leisa circled her hands around his neck, refusing to let go.
"Stop it. Don't touch me until a few years later!"
"Don't wanna."
While those two started to flirt, Kai then asked Rena. "Where is Felice?"
"She is inside. She will surely feel delighted to be going with you…" Rena pointed at the mansion behind her. "Let me lead you to her. And Leisa, I know you are happy, but respect his wish too, okay?"
The group left Evan and Leisa together as they made their way to the mansion. Upon entering the mansion, they couldn't see anyone to the point they thought this was just a ghost mansion.
"Because of the entire mess, I need to give my subordinates some vacation. So, I am the one who maintains this mansion… For another three days. Luckily, Evan is here so he can keep Leisa company."
"How about Felice? Did she trouble you in any way? I would punish her later if she did…"
"Nah, it's fine. She's been a great help to me. Though she considered it as a part of her training." Rena led them to the kitchen as they found Felice, wearing a white shirt and blue skirt.
She turned around when she realized they got a visitor, revealing the white apron in front of her. Unlike her usual style, she tied her hair into a ponytail. It just gave a bit more energy to her poker face.
However, that also soon changed when she spotted Kai among the visitors and realized he came together with his team.
"Big Brother…" A smile appeared on Felice's face. Due to her lack of emotion on a usual day, the smile somehow elevated the mood of the entire room.
"Felice, I think you are doing well these days." Kai nodded with a smile because of what happened around her.
The rest also noticed there were towels floating in the air while wiping the wet plates. Next to her was a pen writing on white paper without anyone holding them.
"Felice, you should take a break. Let me handle the rest." Rena smiled and approached her while looking at the dishes.
"Is that so?" Felice thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yep, you should spend some time with your teacher."
"I am not his student yet." Felice shook her head. "I am just an intern."
"Haha, whatever." Rena chuckled. "And the intern will take the field soon…"
"Eh?" Felice widened her eyes and looked at Kai before hurriedly putting down all the plates and notes. She then walked to Kai as if expecting a clarification.
"Yeah. I am planning to take you to United Asia." Kai nodded with a smile.
She quickly removed the apron and said, "I'm going."
Kai patted her head and said, "No rush. Change your clothes first and bring some necessities. We can buy clothes in United Asia later."
Felice nodded and left the room while holding Kai's hand, wanting to show her room.
"How have you been?"
"I am good. There is nothing wrong with this place other than the poisonous plants."
"Is that so? I'm glad then. That's right. You seem to have gotten better control of your own power."
"Yes. After realizing I don't have enough control to fully utilize my power, it becomes my priority." Felice nodded before snapping. She hurriedly turned around and politely introduced herself. "I apologize for my rude behavior. Let me introduce myself. My name is Felice Quint. It's an honor to meet all of you."
Michelle only smiled because she knew Felice was attached to Kai. "Hello, Felice. I'm Michelle Graham, just call me Michelle. To think Kai would kidnap such a cute girl like you… Wait, isn't that the reason?"
"Yes, Big Sister Michelle." Felice nodded. "And Big Brother didn't kidnap me, it's my will to follow him."
"Such an interesting girl… Hello, I'm Kudo Ayaka. Ayaka is my given name, so please call me Ayaka." Ayaka came to her with a gentle expression.
"Yes, Big Sister Ayaka."
"It's my turn, I guess. I am not a part of the team anymore after graduating, but I'm still around. Just call me Tasha. I am Kai's step-sister."
"I understand, Big Sister Tasha." Felice paused for a moment before looking at Tasha with a curious expression.
"Do you want to ask me something?"
"No, it's a bit rude for me to ask that."
"It's fine. Just ask me anything."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Tasha nodded with a smile to assure her that it was alright.
Felice was hesitating but still opened her mouth. "Then, if you excuse me… I wonder if you have done it already? I mean… The one where you said, "Hey, stepbrother, I am stuck. Help me."
"…" The corridor fell silent before Michelle burst out laughing until she dropped to the ground.
"Hahahahahahaha! This girl is the best." Michelle laughed uncontrollably as her tears came out of the corner of her eyes. "Stepbrother, I'm stuck! It had been lost for a few hundred years, but this is the right thing to say… Pfft, this is good. I suppose I should say this is classic."
Tasha's eyebrows twitched as she snapped her finger. A pink magic circle appeared beneath their feet. "Goodbye."
Michelle quickly leaped to Kai and entered his shadow, stopping Tasha from teleporting her away.
After the magic circle disappeared, Michelle came out and stuck out her tongue. "You fail. This girl just destroyed you… I like this girl already."
Kai patted Felice's head. "Alright, alright. You already know, Sofia, so I think you should change your clothes first…"
Felice nodded with a poker face and walked faster, leaving all of them behind.
