《Barrier Alice | ✔》[53]

Everyone was given a hot cup of cocoa as soon as they came in to help them calm down. Yusaku tried to blow the cocoa so that it less hot before giving it to his sister and brother. The others are in the middle of settle down, with Mikan shared her feeling and her guilt of the whole incident to Misaki-senpai...
Then, as if she remembers something, she turns her head to the tightly knitted siblings and asks,
"Yusaku-kun. What's with your sister? Is she... ok?" Mikan, can't help but feel immensely worried about Amy's changes just now. And worried, if it's because of her.
Yusaku just shook his head while reply, "It's ok mikan-san. It's just that, she... has decided on something"
"Something?" Tsubasa asked. He, Tsubasa was honestly curious. The Amy he knows were the Amy that have immense love for her siblings, a bit courageous when she wanted to (as she was willing to kidnap Yoichi from dangerous ability class) and the one who shies away from public and attention. Calm and kind...
...However, her sudden change just now- the one that the others describe was obviously... felt different. Yusaku, knowing what they think, just answer briefly. He replies,
"It's not my place, to share Amy-nee secrets. But I know for sure, it must be for the safety and the benefit of all of us. That's the kind of person nee-san is, after all."
Everyone just stays silent- as they understand what Yusaku means by those words. Those unconditional trust, stem from her selflessness, which she herself does not aware of. She may ware fake expression from time t time- but she will always unconditionally help, all while hiding from others.
As the silence brew inside the room, Tono- tried to ease the tensions rising in. He said,
"So, did you guys know about a rumour in high school division?"
Tono then proceeds, to share about a rumour, on how there's a space-warp door and so on. Upon hearing that, Mikan, being the optimist she was, she suggested for them to use the warp hole to catch those invaders and scrounged for the cure. If there's even a minuscule possibility for them to help, then she will do so.

However, Tono-senpai and some of the others against it. Because he knows the risk, and the fact it was a rumour, it will undoubtedly be a rash decision. But then, Permy, Natsume, Nonoko, and few others came in. When they heard Mikan's suggestion, and her reasoning, with her promise earlier to find the cure, they can't help but agree. They want to do something, to change things into better, even if it is minimal.
Natsume added;
"Instead of sitting here and discuss this, we might as well went there to ascertain the truth. If it's true and we managed to catch the thief, then, the school can't do anything. We won't ask anything in return too. We could also avoid the school from taking stupid action"
Listening to that, everyone shared their sentiment. They asked for their senpai's help in this plan.
Finally, after persuasion, Tono-senpai finally gives in. Mikan, being mikan, immediately hug Tono and continuously thanking him, before she was peeled off from him by Natsume. Tono then said, to the rest of the seniors who initially against it, he declared,
"Alright then. Let's give them a hand. And, don't worry, I will take responsibility if things went wrong. But... you, Tsubasa, you will come with me."
"Eh?!" Tsubasa adds, shocked with sudden development.
Tono just shrugged. Saying along the line he cant take care of all this brat by himself. Inchou, still worried, asked
"But Senpai, how do we infiltrate the high school division? If I'm not mistaken, they are heavily guarded with so many things unknown...and we don't even have proper planning and tools and..."
"No. We do have plans and tools."
They all turn around to the entrance of the room where the confident voice came from. It was Amy, leaning against the door frame. She wore a small sling bag, and hanging at the chain holder of the bag was a black mask with little sakura at the bottom. It was a mask that covers half of her face- the one that Natsume instantly recognize. He, shocked, wanted to ask when he suddenly stops himself after seeing Amy mouthing 'later'. Thus, he immediately composed himself, and decide to postpone his questioning the other time.

"Nee-chan!" Mirai with Yoichi immediately went for a hug with Amy.
Tsubasa, puzzled with Amy's sudden entrance, ask "What do you mean by that? Do you already have it all ready?"
Amy just smiles. Her usual smile. She stands straight and closes the door behind her.
"Come here penguin. And give me the bag"
Penguin held out the bag, in which she picked up both penguin and the bag. Hand out the penguin to Mirai, asking it to play with her, she took out tools from the bag.
"Ok, so first, we need to decide who will go. Which will be me, Tono senpai, Tsubasa senpai, Mikan, Natsume and... Ruka. All of us will infiltrate the division soon around lunch break. Which means, we will have approximately 24 hours for us to go there and return here before we are being caught.
Second, we need to change our appearance. There's gulliver candy inside. So all 4 of us need to take it. As long as the candy is in our mouth, we can maintain our appearance similar to the age of high school students. So far everyone is clear?"
Everyone numbly nodded- listening to the whole detail. Though, Yusaku against it. He said,
"But nee-chan, I want to go with you too," Then, he added, "You will be in danger if you go..."
At this, Amy just smiles sadly, "It's ok Yusaku. Remember, I have 'shield' Alice, I can protect myself just fine. Ok?"
"But, but, I can't stay here do nothing!" He refuses, he refuses to let things be. He wanted to actively help too.
Hearing his worries, Amy immediately hugs him- hoping that it will ease his anxiousness.
"No, no. Staying here does not mean you did nothing. It means you are keeping Mirai, Yoichi and Sophie safe. Surely I can trust you with that, right? And, I have another task for you too. I will tell you later. Trust your nee-chan in this ok"
At this, Yusuke just nods solemnly. He promised he will do his best to take care of Mirai.
Satisfied, she asked again if everyone understood so far.
They all nodded with exception of Tono. He asked, "That's great and all but then who will cover you guys tonight and tomorrow?"
"Hmm, Nonoko. Did you happen to know a student that can metamorph his appearance right? Can you ask him for his cooperation? Asked him to metamorph to Natsume and remind him to stay quiet the whole time. Can I trust you with this, Nonoko?"
"Yes! I will get him immediately."
"Good. Now for Ruka, there's this little projector created by Hotaru. We will use this to show that you are in the class. Meanwhile, Misaki-senpai. You have doppelganger Alice, right?"
Misaki just nod.
"Then, maybe, if you could help us, could you produce your doppelganger and asked her to eat this gulliver? This will revert her back to the age of 10, and she will replace mikan in her room."
"Sure. But, she can only last for 24 hours."
"That should be ok. Hopefully, we will be back by then. And lastly, for me, Yusaku, Mirai and Yoichi will stay in my room. Under the pretext, we are still shocked about the incident. Hence, huddled together there. Yusaku, take this paper and give it to Narumi sensei if somehow he still managed caught wind of this. Can you do that, Yusaku?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, that surmised it all. Everyone, please, pray for our safety, and tried your best to cover us up. And somehow slowed down Narumi-sensei if he was about to know"
"Alright, Amy-san. But, Amy-san, wouldn't it be fine if Narumi-sensei came to help you?"
At this, Amy just shooked her head. "2 reasons. First, he will make a rash decision, simply because he cared too much. And second, you must not trust the adult too much. This for our own safety."
"What do you mean by that?" Natsume asked.
She just smiled. "Natsume, you of all people should know this the best. I am more shocked by you to ask me this. But... that's not important. Let's focus on this mission first, shall we?"
And with that, they all dismissed, and the rescue group agreed to meet again in 3 hours in front of the high school division gate.
Amy silently hopes that they can get through this safely.

Divine Creatures
Kestra, a [Combat Alchemist] and [Woods Wraith Hunter], is excited to finally receive her third class. But when she attempts to do so, she instead receives a tribulation from the God of Trials, loses her classes, and is informed by the voice of the world that she's been selected to transmigrate with only three days to go. She tries her damnedest to prepare, but even the Elements are different in this new realm. A relatively staid adjustment period is completely abandoned though as she finds that, most distressingly, hundreds of transmigrators have appeared recently with dozens enslaved by the local city lord. Fine! She may have lost her classes and the magic is funky, but she'll be damned if she doesn't have a few true-blue skills up her sleeves. [synopsis re-write by luda305] A light hearted romp where the protag transmigrator *isn't* from Earth. The main story takes place on more of a western xianxia world. Note: profanity tag is because of side characters, and sexual context tag is for some risqué elements before fade-to-black scene. Book 1 is written and scheduled for release a chapter a day till 9/26 (24 chapters total) Book 2 will be added after it is all written. Updated to add fanfic tag because when I picked up the latest Ten Realms I realized that series has had a lot more influence on the setting than I consciously realized. Don't expect military or industrial revolution in xianxia, though.
