-Majabah-

Mitsuki gasped loudly and shouted the familiar names as he sprang his upper body up from the futon. "Iori! Ossan!" He reached one of his hands forward. Perhaps it was a nightmare. It was dark all around him.

"Gaku, light the room up."

With a snap of his fingers, sunlight could penetrate through the thin, traditional sliding doors. The doors had a wooden frame. They had cherry blossoms and branches printed on them. The room they were in was relatively small compared to others. It was nearly empty, with just Mitsuki's futon in the middle and a random cabinet in one corner.

Mitsuki looked to the right to find Riku sitting on a chair and Gaku on his knee beside his master. Mitsuki's eyes met with Riku's, and so the redhead smiled.

Immediately, Gaku was not pleased. "Someone needs to teach this commoner manners."

Riku sighed. He hated to use his authority power, but with Gaku around, he must. "Gaku, quiet or leave." With just one line, Gaku bowed his head down, not saying anything more.

"Now, boy, tell me about yourself." To Riku, Mitsuki was wearing some strange clothes. The doctor was wearing a short-sleeved collar shirt and trousers. They seemed light. Both Gaku and Riku were wearing westernised clothes despite their mansion being traditional Japanese-looking. Gaku looked elegant in those stylish butler clothes. As for Riku, do not even start. He was flawless from the top down, wearing the clothes and attitude of a noble.

Mitsuki felt intimidated. The young doctor was not left with many choices. "M-my name is Izumi Mitsuki, sir. I'm 21 and from Silica District One."

Riku was surprised, but not because of the Silica part. He thought Mitsuki was surely younger than him. Boy, he was so wrong.

"Silica. Never heard of it." Riku shook his head. As a Nanase, he had read an extensive range of books and learned much about the world and the history of Majabah. Yet, he had never once heard of or seen Silica in any of the records. He decided to change his question. "What magic can you use?"

"Magic?!?" There's no way I can use magic!" Such a thing does not exist, Mitsuki thought. Then again, he witnessed Gaku heal the cut on his neck in an instant. If that was not magic, then what?

Gaku frowned. Riku's face was painted with worry.

"That is absurd!" Gaku shouted, trying his hardest not to use the word 'brat'. "Boy, you are before Nanase-sama. Lairs will not be tolerated!"

Riku snapped at Gaku again. Seriously, why could he not have a less stuck-up butler?

"But I really don't know magic! I've never seen it before in my life!" Mitsuki explained genuinely. Gaku would probably have cut the boy if he was not under Riku's order.

Riku remained in his calm posture and spoke, "What of the place you spoke of then? Are you saying there exists no magic where you hail?"

"Yes, sir. Our place is run by technology, science, and all that." Mitsuki was in total shock when the word science went unrecognised by the two men. Just what is going on here?!

Riku saw that Mitsuki was in a panic. "I can tell you spoke the truth, Mitsuki." The noble sighed. "Though a strange incident it may be, perhaps you are from another world entirely."

Gaku bit his lip. His master was being way too open-minded. He was worried that Riku would one day put himself in danger because of his kindness and naiveté.
