"Explain yourself" [Nar]
"Hmmm... I'm sorry" [Diana]
"Meow" [Fie]
"Good explanation" [Diana]
"DIANA" [Nar]
"I'm sorry..." [Diana]
"Someone in deep trouble" [Sas]
"Sas! Be serious!" [Nar]
I am in trouble. Nar looks very angry. His face is red, with one eye looking at me like a tiger looking at a rabbit. I can't help but sit on the floor with my head down. Fie's (Merlin told me to bring Five home, and I just renamed the black cat Fie) meowing doesn't help at all to quell the anger. I can feel that Fie has given up, because she starts to show her belly to play around.
"Diana, tell me. Why did you go out without telling us?" [Sas]
"Well..." [Diana]
I told both Nar and Sas about my meeting with Merlin. Almost everything, as I deliberately left out the part about my blessing. I still remember what Merlin said to me
(If word of your blessing gets out, the bad guys will kidnap you. Best case scenario, they will imprison you and pluck your hair every day and use it as an ingredient. At worst, and most likely, they will harvest your hair, teeth, organs, blood, and force you to regenerate it over and over again.) [Merlin]
Those lines alone make me shiver, and I can tell she's serious. The people of Aru Village will do it without a doubt. According to Merlin, there's a very advanced spell to extract information from a brain, so she told me not to tell anyone about my blessing.
"Merlin... Did you think that Merlin?" [Nar]
"Most likely" [Sas]
"Did you know about Master Merlin?" [Diana]
Since she said she was going to teach me, I just called her Master Merlin
"Know is a strong word, but the witch you mentioned is most likely the same witch from our legend" [Nar].
"Huh?" [Diana]
"There was a war a long time ago between humans, demons, and a mysterious force, and a witch named Merlin is said to be one of the key figures in ending the war" [Sas].
"Really! She said she's just an ordinary witch" [Diana].
"I doubt it. She's using a very advanced spell to protect your brain right now. One wrong move and the person trying to get information out of your brain will have a seizure" [Sas].
"Huh? I don't remember her casting a spell on me" [Diana].
"Believe me, it's there" [Sas]
(Probably to protect her, probably because of her resemblance to Queen Amleth. A blessing perhaps) [Nar]
Now that I think about it, there's no way anyone would call the fairy queen Titania just Titania. Besides, she said it in a friendly way! She even had something called a World Tree Wand, and when I showed it to both Nar and Sas
"It's real" [Nar, Sas]
"Meow!" (Of course) [Fie]
"!" [Nar, Sas, Diana]
Did Fie just telepathically talk to us, and that voice
"Did Fie just speak to us telepathically, and that voice
"Master Merlin!" [Diana]
"Meow" (Yes, it's me, darling) [Merlin]
"It's an honor to meet you" [Nar, Sas]
Nar and Sas said while bowing their heads
"Meow Meow" [Fie] (Do not belittle yourselves, you are both the heroes of this land, and rightly so. You are strong, even at a glance.) [Merlin]
Does this mean that Master Merlin just overheard the conversation? Perhaps.
"Meow" (Nar and Sas, can you teach Diana as well?) [Merlin]
"We plan to do just that." [Nar]
"Aren't you a better choice to teach her magic than me?" [Sas]
"Meow" (Maybe, but I'm more of an academic type of person, so it's better for you to teach her) [Merlin]
"What about you master, what will you teach me?" [Diana]
"Meow" (A secret for now) [Merlin]
"About her blessing, am I right?" [Nar]
"How did you know?" [Diana]
"Meow Meow" (Sharp aren't you, but that's right, though I hope you understand why it must be kept as a secret) [Merlin]
"We do." [Sas]
And so it's decided that as of today I will have three teachers. Two are brothers and the other is Master Merlin.
"All right, but we start the next day. You're grounded for tomorrow!" [Nar]
"WHY!" [Diana]
"Poor little Vars" [Sas]
"Hey! Have pity on me!" [Diana]
"Meow" [Fie]
"Master! Don't just leave! Say something" [Diana]
"Explain yourself" [Nar]
"Hmmm... I'm sorry" [Diana]
"Meow" [Fie]
