Chapter 24
A silence pervaded the air until Magi-kun answered with," I have my reasons... you can leave now."
"Wha! What reasons, don't I at least deserve an acceptable excuse for... what just took place," Blaze-kun looks slightly angry...
Magi-kun, all you have to do is lie, just a little white lie, come on.
"..." Magi-kun's eyebrows scrunch together.
Magi-kun looks like he's hesitating, good, that means he's thinking about lying, all he needs is another push.
Magi-kun, just say you were doing an experiment and used Blaze-kun as a test subject.
Magi-kun struggles to say,"...I was conducting an experiment and used you as a lab rat."
Hmm, test subject sounds nicer than lab rat, but I guess this works more towards your uncaring personality. But
Blaze-kun frowns at Magi-kun's answer, further questioning with," Why me? Why not one of the servants you usually experiment with?"
Ooh, now this is interesting. Experimenting on the servants, I guess this is what people call karma.
I can hear Magi-kun grit his teeth at my response.
Ok, answer by saying this is payment for looking into me.
"This is payment for the plant... plus you were the first person I found, why bother looking for a servant when a perfectly fine specimen was right in front of me."
Aww, look, my baby is all grown up. Adding on to my answer and further enforcing your reasoning by using your personality, so proud.
Magi-kun scowls at me from the corner of his eye.
Blaze-kun seems to accept that answer, knowing how lazy Magi-kun is and agreeing with that fact that he owes Magi-kun for looking into his bonsai. "...Ok, then if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. Please tell me if you find anything with my bonsai," Blaze-kun says as he dazedly leaves the lab.
Magi-kun takes a deep breath, sighs, then stomps over to me. He then proceeds to PLUCK A LEAVE FROM ME.
What the h.e.l.l, man! I didn't think trees had pain receptors, but that hurt like a mothertrucker.
"Hmph, I need one of these to collect more data," he says as an obvious excuse. Magi-kun then s.h.i.+fts his body to the left of me and starts to stretch his arm out, but stops to see a line of leaves leading to the machine he was about to use.
"You... what did you do while I was gone?" He looks at me wide-eyed and questionably.
