Amy packed up everything as fast as she could and head to the carriage, on its way to Getel's Magic Academy. Before she went in, she angrily stared at a tree and punched it, HARD. "Dammit!!" The tree collapsed and her aura was fuming. She is tasked specifically not to search for her sister, but why couldn't she?
She stomped inside the carriage, without saying goodbye to her fellow schoolmates who are unaware of her leaving. Ramiro flapped his wings and flew into the carriage before her.
"I swear that I'll bring you back." she whispered before getting in the carriage.
The carriage took off and she stared into Boris's thoughts. He is busy at work on Caina's surgery. He gave up entirely on giving her a full body surgery since it is downright impossible and is now working on a different solution.
Boris, I need your help.
Boris seems concerned after sensing Amy's distress.
"What do you need?"
I need Caina's help in tracking down Viola. I just need her location and to ensure her safety until her rescue. Rufus and Melissa are investigating right now but it might already be too late.
"I'll ask her."
Also, I am tasked on investigating Leon's affliction as well. I think he took a love potion.
"A love potion? Why do you think so?"
That has to be the only thing that could affect Leon's behavior when he is this infatuated with a girl. Honestly, her surname 'Lovefield' is kinda suspicious.
"Leon is a teenaged boy. It is natural for them to like a girl to the point of becoming rebellious. Besides, he has previously dated girls before her. Also, you can't suspect someone just by their last name alone."
That isn't it either. The Leon Rex I know has very little interest despite his persona. Even the people he dated doesn't last for more than a week and it wasn't due to interest, but because he wants to explore himself. This is different. The letters I received and his indifference to his friends and any advice from everyone are all ignored. I was told not to deter myself from him or persuade him but to get along with him and figure out why he is like this. Unfortunately for me, I do not know anything about love potions, so I need to know how to figure it out and make an antidote.
That also applies to his story version as well. It isn't that he is incapable of feeling romance or being romantic. It is just out of character for him to act this way from what she has heard. She might know more once she sees him in person.
I am going to ask a lot of things from you this year.
Very well.
Amy decides to meditate after breaking her connection to Boris. To even communicate or meet a succubus, she will need to meet her in her dreams, but she is too worked up to sleep so meditation is the only way to calm down and the perfect state to talk to Caina without falling asleep.
"Boris told me everything. Who do I need to find?"
Amy could see Caina awaiting Amy's answer. The image of Violet appeared in her head and Caina can now see her.
"My twin sister, Violet. She resembles me but less scarred and her colors are green instead of purple. She should be in Getel right now. Amy replied. "I know you can only find people when they are sleeping but if you find her, send her location to this person." Amy then conjured Melissa in her mind. She could have thought of Rufus but then he would have sensed the Succubus and would probably try to take her just like he did with Rana. Melissa wouldn't think much of it since she is not a believer, but she will have deja vu and think of the idea like it is hers and bring it up.
"Getel is a large country with a lot of people. Even for me, this will take a while." Caina said.
"I know but this is all I ask. Viola is the most important person to me." Amy said in a slightly broken tone.
Feeling sad for Amy, she resolved herself. "Very well, I'll start searching right away." Caina quickly disappeared and Amy opened her eyes.
Looks like staying low isn't an option this year. It's all hands-on deck for everyone.
"Do you need the Peonies to help you?"
Amy was a bit startled to hear Alabaster. He is still at sea looking for the entrance to find the next demonic weapon.
Maybe next time. I can't be too obvious and eager. she replied.
"Now that we're all here together, there is something I have to ask you. The next weapon is in mermaid territory."
Oh shit!
That means the only way to get it... is through them. And that almost means...
"I need you."
Amy really didn't want to interact with mermaids but the part of the sea that Alabaster is talking about stretches out for miles with no land or human(preferably containing female) civilization. They prefer females than males and their alphas do not count. She could ask Caina since a succubus is more than capable of being persuasive enough to lend their weapon, but she just asked her to find Viola and at this point, if she asked her to persuade the mermaids then they will never get the weapon.
I'll negotiate with the alpha. Tell me when you meet her.
"Understood"
Amy wants to groan. Is it so hard to have at least one quiet year without any shenanigans? The god that sent her here really does like to torture her for their own amusement.

Melissa watched Rufus being brooding in his own way. They just recently heard news that Amaryllis is coming and the both of them know how protective she is of her sister so she's definitely going to come to Getel with the intent to kill. Rufus is already close to his boiling point. Amaryllis is not going to help them. Melissa, herself, is working on figuring out on fixing their issues but there is so much she can do. She told Leon about Violet, and he seems to downplay the issue, pissing her and Rufus off.
"This is gonna go pretty badly."
Amaryllis is already annoyed with Leon but with the way that he is right now, it might escalate into a serious fight, not a friendly match.
