Young Magic I: Shoujo and Shounen Wars

Nine: Territory of Lunar Extraneous

It was yet another sunny morning. The blackness split into two, one at the top and the other at the bottom, and in the middle peeked bright light of the surroundings.

The surroundings appeared to be that of a room and present within the room was a young fortune teller and a young knight, both Beth Scarves and Andy Nightingale.

Claudia blinked once, an awkwardly yet tiredly blank and puzzled gaze she formed.

Claudia Rivers found herself resting on her back comfortably on her bed, and she still felt a glimpse of semi-conscious sleepiness.

She saw that both her friends patiently waited for her to wake up.

Beth pushes Andy forward with a teasing smile about to let out playful giggles, and Andy nearly stumbles upon reaching the young priestess as they blushed slightly in embarrassment and confusion.

Andy took a deep breath and sighs, nearing towards Claudia with a slightly convincing smile.

"G-Good morning, Claudia," Andy greeted. "We have to visit Lunar Extraneous now."

It was all slowly coming back to Claudia; her drowsiness fading away for her to process it all.

"...Eh?" Claudia Rivers uttered cluelessly. Then realization began to hit her and she instantly sat up with an expression of shock and confusion.

"E-EEEEHHH?!?! W-WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING IN MY ROOM?! ARE YOU TRYING TO CREEP ME OUT OR SOMETHING?!"

"C-Claudia, calm down! We're just here to wake you up-" Andy uneasily reassured.

"It's because you most probably overslept and we were waiting for you, Miss Claudia Rivers." Beth replied more calmly. "You must be so tired to have overslept, my, my~..."

"B-Beth! S-Stop trying to t-tease her here!" Andy huffed, slightly flustered.

Claudia, too, blushes in embarrassment and calms down, averting away her eyes in such flustered shame.

She facepalmed and sighed, "Okay, alright then. Really sorry for oversleeping and having you guys wait for me though. I'll prepare myself and get ready right away."

With that, Claudia softly yawns and uses her hand to fan over her yawning mouth as she gets out of bed.

Beth nodded and headed for the door when Andy stopped in their tracks and approached the priestess.

"A-Also... while you were asleep, we discussed amongst ourselves in the meantime that we shall expect Andrew Ravens and his other allies to approach our objectives and goals so they'd ruin them greatly."

"O-Okay, expect them and... what else do you propose we do? Just rely on our expectations while carrying on with the plan?" Claudia responded, stretching her arms a little.

"Miss Blossom the Grim Reaper Girl suggested we first hide our way into Lunar Extraneous and search wherever that trio could be. However, if they're nowhere to be found, we'll be in luck." Beth gladly explains. "But of course they'd be hiding themselves to surprise attack us, so we should be sharp and be prepared for anything anyway."

"I see..." Claudia mumbled to herself in deep thought.

There it was; somewhere across the region of Young Magic Shoujo... the very territory of Lunar Extraneous.

It was a territory of a few laboratories and mansions, all styled in patterns and designs of lunar and terrestrial themes.

Both Andy Nightingale and Claudia Rivers arrived and immediately stayed hidden.
