It was morning. Saxa and Lexi were excused from today's chores because it took hours to reach the city. So, they finished their breakfast and were now trying to find Sister Frida.
As they ran through the halls, Saxa saw Inu carrying boxes from outside. She approached him and grabbed one of the top boxes. "Inu! Have you seen my sister?"
"Morning and thanks." Inu shifted around, balancing the weight. Lexi followed behind, grabbing another box. They walked into the kitchen together. "Sister Frida? Um, I haven't seen her. But Sister Alena plans on selling our hunts. She's by the back."
They set the boxes down and started walking to the hall. "Thanks."
Inu yelled from behind. "Saxa! We should spar again soon. I've gotten better since last time."
"Sure, but I bet I'll still win," replied Saxa with a grin.
"Yeah right."
Lexi pulled Saxa down the hall before Inu started chasing them. The last time Saxa sassed him, Inu chased her until she accepted a fight.
"Why do you keep on inciting him?" groaned Lexi.
"Because it's fun," Saxa smirked, "and he's the best person for me to practice with."
Lexi sighed, and the two rushed towards the back door. As they approached, some noise came from the other side. They saw Sister Frida, Alena, and Lena having a conversation.
"Okay. Is this everything you wanted to sell?" Frida pointed towards boxes full of raw meat.
"Yeah..." Alena inspected the crates before lifting her ring to her face. She peered at the ring for a few seconds, as if looking at something others couldn't see. "That should be everything."
Lena passed a pile of papers to Frida. "Here. You can sell this to Librio."
Frida took the papers and placed them into her well-worn bag. The strap hooked around her neck, and it was full of packages. She ruffled through the bag, searching for something.
Frida pulled out a ring and placed it on her finger. She stared at it for a while, inspecting it. Then, she waved her hand at the crates of meat, and they vanished.
"Wow." A gasp sounded from the church door. The three nuns turned toward the sound and saw a pair of embarrassed children.
Alena remarked, "Looks like you won't need to search for them."
"I guess so." Frida continued to examine the ring. Then, she opened her bag and ruffled through its contents. She mumbled, "Two... six... ten."
After checking everything, Frida turned towards the girls. "Saxa, Lexi. You guys ready?"
The pair nodded and walked towards the group. Saxa had reminded Lexi to pack light this morning, so she left all her books in the room. At the moment, Lexi was carrying a dagger while Saxa had her pair of daggers.
"Then that should be everything. We'll be off now."
Frida grabbed both of their hands, and the three strolled towards the road in a line.
As they walked, Lexi tugged on Frida's sleeve. "Um, Sister Frida."
Frida turned her head. "Yes?"
"Where did all the crates go?"
Saxa quickly turned towards the conversation, remembering the scene. "Oh yeah! Why did they disappear?"
Frida looked between the two, a bit puzzled before realization hit her. "Right, you haven't taken any magic classes yet."
