Enma's POV

"You know Amelia, you really didn't have to tag along right?" I questioned as glance at Amelia from the corner of my eyes. I saw her shrug her shoulders at my question.

"Yeah, but then again, where's the fun in that?" Giving me a cheeky grin, I groaned helplessly.

"You don't even know Gura as much as I do? How are you supposed to know who she is?" She hummed and then bumped her fist into her open palm.

"You did call her shorty a while ago, right? Then that means that anyone short we come across will bound to be her!" I opened my mouth to argue but found no words coming out.

"Okay you got me there, but still." Helplessly shrugging my shoulders, I said.

"Ehh, count this as me going out of my way to find my new friend!" She cackled at me.

"You don't even know if she will agree to be your friend or not." I pointed out as she grumbled at me and my pessimistic attitude.

"Oh please! I can feel that we will get along just fineeee~!" My brows creased at her.

'THAT'S WHAT I'M AFRAID OF!' I thought mentally and shivered at the upcoming chaos that is bound to befall on my poor soul.

"Anyway, you think Pekora is going to be okay with Hoshimachi-san?" Changing the topic, Amelia bumped my shoulders as I stare at the long mountain road ahead.

I shook my head and stared at her in amusement.

"You should be more worried about Hoshimachi-san. If you know your history well, then you should know by now that Pekora is the princess of Pekoland." Wriggling my eyebrows, she turns her head away in disgust.

"You might be handsome, but you are not my type." She replied, not bothering to hide the disgust in her voice.

"Oh, you wound me fair Amelia." Acting as if my heart was in great pain, I clenched my fist at my chest.

"Shaddap! Anyway, yeah I really should be more worried about Hoshimachi-san." With that, I smirked in agreement.

"The Usada Royal Family, known for their knack of doing war crimes in their lifetime. Heh, I'm glad I stopped Pekora before it got too gruesome. Still, her criminal side tends to come out. In the face of pranks of course." I sighed helplessly as I said that before stopping and gazing at the hazardous mountain path.

"It'll take us a long time before we can even start finding Gura at this rate." Amelia nodded as she stopped beside me.

"What do you think we should do? This whole Rufubin Mountain Range is bigger than most mountain ranges I know. It'll be like finding a needle in a haystack." I smirked when an all too amusing thought crossed my mind.

"Hey Amelia, you got any problem dealing with huge creatures and riding them?" I asked her while I summoned out my Grimoire.

"Not really, Bubba can transform to a bigger form if he ever wants to. Why?" Amelia gazed at me curiously.

"Well then! Be ready to meet my cute and wonderful Thunder Doggo, Zinogre!" Slamming my hand down the ground, a huge magicka circle appeared beneath our feet. It slowly converged behind me as it constructed a violet portal.
