    Once things had settled, they sat the boy down as he helped himself to an abundant of food, since it had just hit him---He was half starved. Though many of them had tried to process what it was they just heard from Alistars mouth.

    As he ate the food, Alistar sat by his side with Prism as she had studied his face. The others had been nearby.

    "I can't believe it!" Asta said, "This whole time, Alistar actually has a big brother!"

"I know---" Jetson said, "---I'm still trying to wrap my head around that!" 

    "How do we know he's not making it up?" Carver asked, "No offense to him, but he's not actually all right in the head."

    "I mean---" Feodora said as she gestured to Alistar and the Boy, "---Their eyes are similar to each other, he's just got it on the opposite side---"

    "---And his eye is uneven, like mine." Brenin said gesturing to his own, "And he has that black scarle on one side. Then their's the horns and ears---Aside from all of that that, they're eerily similar."

    "Then this means Alistar must've remembered something when he saw him." Saorise said, "There's no way, he can lie anyway."

    "At this point I'm not sure of anything." Liam said as his own ear twitched, "Especially that magic of his, I've never seen anything like it." He soon growled, "Though I didn't like he called the Shortcake a dumbass..."

"He didn't mean that I'm sure." Yuno said. 

    "At least we know he's a good guy!" Asta said, "I mean, he saved Prism's life after all!"

    "As always your optimistic." Karasu said.

    "I envy that a lot..." Macsen said.

    "Dorksta, he ended up destroying a tree because he repelled Karasu's spell!" Noelle said, "Though still---What kind of magic does he have to do that?"

    "You want to take a risk and ask him Drama-Llama?" Feodora asked.

    Noelle flinched as she said, "W-well I was asking---"

"Oh for the love of mana, I'll ask him." Yami said as he went into the room just as the boy finished eating.

He sighed looking satisfied as he leaned back. "Gods---Can't remember the last time I ate like that..." The Boy said before he looked to Prism, "... Hey, we've met each other before right? I feel like I should know you..."

Prism only shrugged as if to say, "I don't know."

    "Yeah, figures that would be your answer, still can't believe your real but... Did I really meet you before? Damn it, my head hurts just thinking about it..." The Boy said groaning a little, before he noticed Yami, "Oh--You again?"

    Yami said as he took a puff, "Yeah Me again. Got a minute?"

    "I guess---" The Boy said, "---The hell do you want?" He soon noticed the robe he was wearing, "Hang on, are you that God of Destruction guy everyones been talking about?"

    "God of Destruction? Yeah but I have a name." Yami said. "Yami Sukihero."

    "Yami huh?" The Boy said, before it clicked, "That's right, you're that Captain that has Dark Magic, and came from another country. Funny, you're not exactly what I expected. I thought you'd actually look like some sort of Devil, but you're actually a lot shorter than I thought!"
