(Kirasaya) (Meariri) New Friends

Mama

"What's going on?!" Mary demanded as she stomped into Kirari and Sayaka's room. "Will you keep it down! You have one job! One job to take care of Sayaka! Now all the windows in the living room are broken! Shattered!"

Kirari just hummed nonchalantly as she held Sayaka in her arms. The toddler was still sniffling slightly, looking at Kirari with teary-eyes as she clutched her shirt with a death grip.

"Are you even listening?!" Mary grumbled.

"Well, it seems that we've found a solution."

"Vani!" Mary exclaimed as she turned around. "You've found the cure?!"

"Nonsense," Vani said dismissively. "I was talking about Sayaka. She gets very attached to certain people easily. The effects of her crying was much worse last time. Now it's better, but we still need to get it under control."

Vani pointed to Kirari. "And she's the one."

"Oh my, thank you very much," Kirari chuckled.

Mary rolled her eyes. "She's saying that Sayaka doesn't like it when you leave her. So you just need to make sure she's with you all the time so she doesn't get upset."

"Indeed," Vani agreed. "Good job, Mary."

Mary smirked triumphantly at Kirari.

"Does she have to sit on your lap while you're eating?" Ririka asked. "That's a little extreme, isn't it?"

"Hm, I quite like it actually," Kirari replied as she petted Sayaka's head softly. "She's adorable, isn't she?" Sayaka responded with a light squeal before continuing to munch on a lollipop.

"So, how's the collection of  ingredients going?" Vani queried as she ate some grapes.

Ririka paled instantly. "U-Um...Harpy...not on Earth."

Vani stared at her for a while before birthday into hysterical laughter.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS LOCATED IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST?!"

"Wait..it does exist?" Mary said.

"Of course," Vani clarified. "But the location of all these ingredients are in another world. I just put the Amazon Rainforest there. I didn't think that you'd actually believe it."

She sighed, "Now that I think of it, I completely forgot that you and Ririka don't possess magic..."

"Well yeah," Mary huffed. "I don't see why you can't get them yourself."

"No one wants to go anywhere alone," Vani argued. "My dear cousin is a perfect example of that."

All eyes turned to Sayaka who played peekaboo with Kirari.

"You little...you wasted our time! You could've just told us you wanted company!"

"Hey, you guys have money, I figured that you'd actually go to the Amazon Rainforest and  get lost or something......"

Mary narrowed her eyes. "If you didn't have magic, I would actually punch you."

"Why, thank you," Vani replied. "Moving on, I suggest that you and Ririka get ready. I'll bring you two to the desired location soon."

"OH! SO SHE TURNED INTO A BABY!" Sachiko squealed. She hugged Vani tightly. "OHHH THANK YOU THANK YOU! NOW I CAN DRESS HER UP AND BRING HER OUT AGAIN!"

"Ahem...about that," Vani said. "I hate to burst your bubble, but it's Kirari that she's attached to. And her own mother too, it seems."

They watched as Sayaka sat on Lady Seina's lap. Her mother's cheeks were flushed with excitement. "My baby daughter is so cute! Boys! Pay attention! Look! She just blinked!"

"Yes, Mother," Kaito sighed.

"Ahem?" Kirari said. "Lady Seina, I believe it is my turn."

"Well, we'll put her on the ground and see who she runs to," Lady Seina said.

"By the way, aren't you and Ririka supposed to be with Vani?" Miroslava asked.

"Don't talk to be about that," Mary growled. "It turns out that Vani had the ingredients the whole time. I would kill her but she's crazily powerful."

"Ah."

Meanwhile, Lady Seina had set Sayaka on the floor. Before letting go, she whispered, "Don't cry, alright? I'm just putting you down, then you decide who you want to go to. Just saying, but if you choose me, I'll give you so many soft toys to play with."

She let go of her daughter gently before sending a secret wink her way.

"Alright," Lady Seina declared. "Choose your favourite person!"

Sayaka squealed and started to head towards the space in between Lady Seina and Kirari.

"Wasn't she instructed to pick one?" Mary said, confused.

"Look, there's someone there," Miroslava replied.

Sayaka ran straight into the arms of Yumeko Jabami.
