Chapter 26

Japan blinked, "Oh? You've grown sharper."

"I've been "reading the atmosphere" a lot today."America rubbed his neck bashfully, "Thanks to that I got what you were saying earlier at once."

"Have you?" Japan tilted his head, "Then... I think I'll have a nice talk to you alone."

"Hmm. Just don't make me bored," the blond male agreed.

Already knowing where this was going, I set off to "find" England.

Pushing my way back in the other room, I glanced up at England. Said male was standing near the bookshelves in the top left corner.

The blond male frowned, "There's something unsettling about this room...Something that feels like it's pulling me..."

I shuffled over to him, "Want some help?"

England didn't answer me and began looking behind the bookshelf, "Nothing, either. Maybe... in the back of the bookshelf?" His green eyes widened upon finding a glowing blue seal, "Oh? There's some kind of seal. Huh? A magic circle with my hand-writing? What is it doing here? Well, whatever. Anyway, what is it sealing?"

The Brit reached his hand forward and touched the seal gently. I backed away from him slightly as a pink and blue magic circle glows around him.

England's green eyes brightened, "Some of my magic is back!"

England's magic is 30% back.

Tick.

Oh, would you look at that, I thought with a no-really face, way to state the obvious.

Tock.

England grinned at me, "This is it! I was worried for a while there, but now I can at least try to fight the Thing if I need to!"

Tick.

"Steve," I corrected with a grin just as Japan and America walk into the room and over to us.

Tock.

"Hey, you two!" England greeted, "What took you so long?!"

Tick.

"Did something happen?" Japan asked tilting his head, his eyes flickering to me.

Tock.

I sighed glaring at the place where a clock is. It's constant ticking finally starting to get on my nerves.

Tick.

I swear it's now doing it just to piss me off.

Tock.

"You could say that!" The green-eyed male said cheerfully, "Next time, I won't be such a burden anymore."

Tick.

"What, you were a burden before?" America asked tilting his head. He quickly straightened it and shrugged, "Well, if you say so."

Tock.

England lifted his head proudly, "Now I can easily stop that guy. Though only for a few seconds. Well...about two seconds..."

Tick.

"..." Japan looked down and hummed to himself.

Tock.

Almost immediately England's joy disappeared, and he flinched, "Wh-what? If I can replenish it a little more, it can be longer-"

Tick.
