Now Shido was awake sporting a large bruise while holding an icepack at the sudden injury, next to him sitting on the couch was Neptune. And for her part, Neptune seeing the damage to the boy's face couldn't help but feel guilty..... Though atleast she finally calm down.

"Hehehe.... Again... Sorry about that Shido.."
Neptune said awkwardly while holding her tome in both hands. When she woke up and suddenly punch Shido's face, she directly pulled out her tome, checking if Criore was still asleep..... And as she guess it, the little fairy was still asleep.

"It's... okay... Just don't suddenly punch me.." Shido tiredly said while feeling sore at everything that happened in the last few hours ago.

Shido actually wanted to know about her powers.... But doesn't want to pry right now and her being link to... Negative energy, might cause problems. So Shido decided to talk when everything calms down.

"..."

'well this is awkward' both of them thought simultaneously.

"Hey.. Shido..? Is Neptune awake?" A voice spoke at his left ear, seems like Kotori finally notice the racket the two made when Neptune woke up. "Err... Yeah... She woke up 20 minutes ago.."

'and I fell unconscious for 18 minutes...' was left unsaid.

"Ah.. I see.. this is actually a perfect chance Shido-!! Date her!" Shido couldn't help but blanched at Kotori's idea, knowing the atmosphere was awkward... And suddenly asking Neptune to a date is likely gonna end him in one way ticket to a beating from hell, courtesy of Neptune making him a punching bag!

"Er... But Kotori I mean... In this atmosphere.." Shido said hesitantly... While screaming in his heart to convince Kotori to not date Neptune in this atmosphere. "Plus maybe... I can convince Neptune to help.. go looking for Yoshinon (?), Afterall seems like Neptune and Yoshinon (?) Were pretty closed with each other. And.... Tohka being here might also make things worst..."

"Ugh... Fine, I guess I can see your point but can you talk to her for information? I want to know all the details about her strange powers." Kotori said seriously while continuing "And when you do, don't you dare forget about any small details. Got it Shido? We need all the information we can get from Neptune."

"Yeah sure, no problem Kotori" Shido nodded suddenly earning the attention of Neptune.

"Hey..? Why did you nod just now?"

Neptune asked while looking at Shido as if he was a strange creature in a zoo, making Shido smiled wryly at her direction. Before he remembered a perfect way to start and talk about her strange power.

"Hey.. Neptune why did you... Faint and vomited at that time, I just can't help but wonder you know? You really did made us worry" Shido wondered with genuine curiosity and concern in his voice, While Neptune seems to be troubled at that question clearly showing her confusion.

"Er...I don't know... But Criore does." Neptune said while showing Shido the tome again.

'eh..? But how..? Does she write in that tome of hers?'

Neptune then sighed and had a troubled look and explained that 'Criore' was still asleep.

"Asleep??" Shido became a little puzzled, how.. can a book sleep exactly..? "Then.. do you know how to wake her (?) Up?"
