The Magical Girl Misu Batafurai

Chapter 13: Summer Break, To The Beach

A couple of weeks go by and it's almost the end of our summer break.

Akari wakes up to a very warm and humid morning. But it was a very beautiful and sunny day, perfect for going to the beach.

I do my usual morning stuff to get ready, putting on a cute outfit. It was a pink dress so I could keep cool walking around.

I got a nice glass fish bowl for my goldfish that Kura won for me at the festival. I named the fish candy apple, candy for short. Because it was red, and round.

Then I pack the rest of my bag for spending to night and my swimsuit. I go downstairs and eat some food. My parents weren't home, probably at work.

Bluebell flys out and hovers above me when I was eating. I sat down at the table in the living room, watching the news. I had a bowel of cereal.

Bluebell looks at me with a glare.

"Shouldn't you be doing something else that's a little bit more important than going to the beach?" Bluebell says annoyed.

I stare at the T.V not caring, munching on my food.

"It's not like the Kagé are going anywhere or doing anything new yet. If my ring goes off I'll just have to sneak away to fight some monsters." I say waving my hand at them.

Bluebell floats closer, crossing their little paws

"But they are working on new stuff! You never know what they're cooking up, it could destroy the world! You have to go and try to find the Kiba to stop them before it's too late!" Bluebell insists.

I roll my eyes.

"Come on we're just taking a little break, it's almost the end of summer and we have to go back to school soon. I've been working so hard, don't I deserve a break?" I say looking at Bluebell, with pleading eyes.

Bluebell pushes my face away.

"...Well, whatever. Don't say I didn't worn you." Bluebell looks away, frustrated.

I look at them concerned.

"I was wondering... Is Bluebell actually your real name?" I ask them.

Everything goes quiet. Bluebell looks at me shocked, or scared. It was hard to tell.

"Where did you come from?" I ask insisting.

"I, well ... It's a long story." Bluebell sighs looking away.

"Wait really?" I say surprised.

Bluebell floats away, seeming uncomfortable. "I'll tell you some other time, maybe..."

I stare at them a little bit longer. Then my phone goes off. I flip over my phone and look at it.

A message from Yuko-

'Be at ur place soon, picking up the boys first. 😒 '

I chuckle a little bit to myself. I reply back then I get up and clean up my dishes. I grab my stuff and wait by the door. Bluebell sits on my shoulder waiting.

Silence goes by...

"I'll be waiting Bluebell..." I say out loud.

Bluebell looks at me shocked. "Er, waiting for what?"

"I'm looking forward to that day that we get to have that conversation... About you." I say, turning my head to look at them.

"Oh, um. Yeah..." Bluebell says quietly rubbing their head with their paw.

"Don't worry about it so much. You're just so full of mysteries, and magic, and wonder. I'm sure you've been through a lot. But, I'm just so curious about it. And everything. Whenever you're ready buddy, I'll be here to listen." I tell them sincerely.
