Gura pov: Now that we can leave the council room again, I didn't want to be cooped up, so I decided that Watson and I should just go out and hang out for a little while.

"Amelia, where should we go?" I asked

"Hic, I kind of want to walk around town," Amelia hiccuped.

"Then let's do it," I said.

We left the council room and just walked into town, not really knowing what we'd do. There was a woman running away from something; she wasn't paying attention and bumped into me.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeek!" She screeched

"What!?" I yelled

"Y-you're a shark girl!" The woman said it in fear.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Amelia asked

"Eeeeek, a blonde woman!" The purple-haired maid yelled

"Stop..." I said

"Y-you can talk!" The woman screamed.

"Are you sheltered?" I questioned

"No, I'm Minato Aqua!" She replied

"She's a fucking moron." Amelia groaned

"No, I'm Aqua!" She said it again.

"She does look like an onion," I laughed.

"Hey, you are just like Choco-sensei," Aqua said as she pointed at Watson.

"Wait, you know Choco-sensei, so you'd be our senpai," Amelia said.

"I guess?" Aqua-senpai said

"Everything confuses this woman," I sighed.

"I'm scared of most things," Aqua-senpai said.

"Why?" Amelia asks

"I only weigh 44.5 kg. I'm a fragile woman. Everything can kill me." Aqua-senpai said

"Okay, so why were you running Aqua-Senpai?" I asked

"I saw a really big man and got scared; also, I'm trying to find Shion," Aqua-senpai said.

"Shion-senpai?" I said

"Do you know her!?" Aqua-senpai asked

"Not really, I've heard of her; she's in the mystical forest, correct?" I said

"Yeah, that's right!" Aqua-senpai said

"Well, we can take you there," I said.

"You can!?" Aqua-senpai shouted

"Yes, but don't shout, Senpai." I sighed

"Gura, are you sure we can do this?" Amelia asked

"Uhhhh... no," I said.

"We should probably tell Mumei we are going," Amelia said.

"No, she'll be fine with it; no harm will be done," I told her.

"So why are you a shark girl?" Aqua-senpai asked

"I don't know." I said, "I was born this way."

"Interesting..." Aqua-senpai said

"Why is this the odd part?" I asked

"Well, sharks can't talk," Aqua told me.

"Well, I clearly am a talking shark," I said.

"Maybe I'll have Choco-sensei examine you!" Aqua-senpai said

"Yeah, I'd rather you not," I said.

"But you're an enigma!" Aqua-senpai said

"That is a big word," I chuckled.

"Enigma isn't that big of a word!" Aqua-senpai yelled

"We just assumed that you wouldn't know a word like that because you are an onion," Amelia said.

"No, I'm a human!" She said

Luckily she didn't know the secondary meaning of onion; if she did, she would be extremely mad at us, but to be fair, we are being kind of rude to a woman we just met; we probably should be more tolerable and not just insult her on the spot.

"Let's go to the mystical forest then," Amelia said.

"We need to hurry up though, since Shion-senpai could always move," I said.

"Well, Shion is not the type of woman to really move around." Aqua-senpai said

"Eh?" I said.

"Shion is the type of woman that needs to be pampered," Aqua-senpai said.

"Are you her maid?" Amelia asked

"No. I mean, yes. technically, not anymore," she said.

"What happened?" I asked

"I accidently got water on her dress, so she fired me." Aqua-senpai said

"So why do you want to go back?" Watson asked

"I'm a wreck. I can't do anything right without that job as a maid. I'll be all out of options." I'm going to ask if I can have my job back!" Aqua-senpai shouted

"You need backbone; you should probably tell her you won't come back," I said.

"But I love her!" Aqua-senpai cried

"I understand that, but if she's being toxic, don't you think you should get out of that relationship?" Amelia asked

"She isn't toxic; my mistress is just a kusogaki!" Aqua-senpai said

"Oh, so Shion-senpai is a child?" I asked

"No," Aqua-senpai said abruptly.

"Eh?" I said.

"What the hell... is she a teenager?" Amelia asked

"No, she's an adult!" Aqua-senpai chipperly stated

"Okay, there are so many problems, she acts like a child." I asked

"No. Well, yes. Actually, it depends on what you think a child is," Aqua-senpai said.

"Okay, you don't make sense. Please stop contradicting yourself," I said.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so nervous!" She cried

I sighed I know everything makes her nervous, but this is just crazy. What doesn't make her nervous? And how am I supposed to tolerate this? She is our senpai, though, and she is really cute.

"Let's go," Watson said.

"How far is the mystical forest?" I asked

"Uhhh, like twenty minutes away," Amelia estimated.

"Okay, let's get there in five," I said.

"How?" Aqua-Senpai and Ame asked

"We steal a car!" I said

"Or we can just use my pocket watch and fast-forward ourselves," I said.

"Let's do that," I said.

We tried to run, but then the pocket watch didn't work.

"Did Kronii take your time powers?" I asked

"I think so," Ame said.

"Well shit..." I said

"What does that watch do?" Aqua-senpai asked

"It controls time," I explained.

Amelia fiddled with it for a minute, and she got it working again.

"Let's get this show on the road!" She yelled

"Can you fast forward?" I asked

"Let's see" She said, "I don't think so," after trying it.

"Damn it, so we have to walk normally," I sighed.

"Correct," Amelia stated.

"I'm fine with walking; it's actually good for the heart!" Aqua-senpai said

I sighed and nodded, to be honest. Aqua-senpai did make a good point, and besides, it's not as if Shion-senpai will be looking for Aqua-senpai.
