"There really isn't anything..." said Crowley. Him and Maruyake were in the library doing some research. The lavender haired boy had already explained every detail that he could remember about his homeland.

"Not only the world map, but the place you have described cannot be found in any history." The Dean looked at Maruyake. "Are you truly describing the place? You aren't lying to me by chance?"

The boy looked at Crowley as if offended. "Headmaster, sir." He began.

"You cannot possibly think that I would lie about something as serious as this? I would also wish to return to where I once was, if I can help it."

The Headmaster gave the boy an apologetic smile then sighed. "You are right, my apologies. Looking at all this, you may have somehow been brought here from another planet or from another world"

The boy raised his hands dismissively. "No, another world nor planet sounds too bizarre. Even if we cannot identify the exact name or location from my homeland, all of these places in the maps are familiar to me."

He started to trace his fingers over the map. "I have yet been to some of these, I must admit, but I have read and heard about them."

Crowley was in thought, as he pondered on what to do.

Where could this boy be from?

His descriptions were precise and to the point...

...

Huh...?

Now that I think about it, it does sound familiar.

But where did I read about it, is the question...

Snapping out from his thoughts, the Dean focused his attention once again on the boy.

"What did you have on you when you came here? Do you have any identification, like a license for a magic car, name on a shoe?"

Crowley watched as the boy patted himself and tried to see if his pockets had anything related to what the Dean had asked.

It was then something had caught the Headmaster's eye, he saw a hue of red sparked from the boy while said child did nothing to show signs of noticing it and instead continued his search for any item that he had on.

Surprised, the Headmaster was about to question Maruyake when he noticed a shadow just at the corner on one of the shelves disappeared.

Strange...

-

Maruyake tried to fish anything out from his pockets.

There must be something I had with me.

Something for identification...

Magic car licens-

What even is a magic car?

Is that some sort of carriage?

"You appear to be empty handed." Said Crowley, bringing the boy's attention back onto him.

"It would appear so... unfortunately."

Maruyake replied, but he didn't failed to notice how the Headmaster was looking for something behind him, as the man's golden eyes darted from left to right.
