After the night has passed, A tired Lumi opens her eyes to find herself in a strange room. She moves her head to look around the room and sees Yuuji sleeping on a futon on the floor and Amilia sleeping on her bed. She tries to get up but she's too tired and her injuries aren't in the best of conditions while trying to be quiet as to not wake anyone up she accidentally lets out a little noise from how painful it was to move her body
"..mmm just a few more minutes, yuu"-a sleepy Amilia who thought Yuuji was waking her up
A few seconds later Yuuji woke up to check the noise to see it was Lumi
"Oh. Good morning. Did you sleep well ?"-said Yuuji with a smile while his eyes were still half-asleep
"Ah. Yes, i did. Thank you"-said Lumi
Lumi looked embarrassed to talk to Yuuji as she was rude to him before and thought that he would most definitely hate her but he still treated her injuries
"Umm.. Wakana-dono.. about the duel and the thing i did... I'm sorry.."-said Lumi
Yuuji looked in surprise at what she said and also in annoyance as he hates being called Wakana.
"..No need to apologize. What's more important now is that you don't try and move much. Amilia used some of her skill to give you a medical scan and you were fatigued"-said Yuuji sighing at first at being called Wakana but with a smile
As Yuuji finished talking there was a knock at the door
"Yuuji, May i enter"-said Kazuma waiting outside as they planned for a meeting in the morning
"Of course. Just let me wake a certain sleepy white witch"-said Yuuji looking at Amilia
"Wake up we have things to do"-said Yuuji as he starts tickling Amilia who wakes up terrified and laughing as she's the most ticklish person in the room
Yuuji knowing that Amilia is very ticklish he always teased her about it and always used tickling to get her to not cook since as we know from before she's a terrible cook
"BWAHAHAHA STOP ST- BWHAHAHA H-HELP KAZUMA HELP"-shouted Amilia as she's being tickled
"Ok good! everyone is here now"-said Yuuji as he finished tickling Amilia letting Kazuma know he's allowed to enter
"So who should tell Lumi what happened ?"-said Kazuma with Lumi being surprised as she lost yet they still will tell her
"Wait, But i lost"-said Lumi
"Come onnn don't be such a sore loser we agreed on telling you but with you promising not to tell anyone"-said Yuuji looking at Lumi with a warm smile on his face
"But before we tell you i have to get someone here"-continued Yuuji
"You called for me, boy ?"-a voice suddenly popped into everyone's head inside the room
"Who's that?!"-said Lumi confused as to what happened
"Allow me to introduce myself, Human. I am that island's keeper, A great spirit protecting that island from intruders. With your fighting you earned some respect from me so i shall bestow the honour of knowing my name on you. I am Koro."
"As you can see we brought him so that you'd believe us"-said Amilia
"Ok.. I'm still suspicious but i'll try to believe you"-replied Lumi with a calm expression
As that little conversation ended Yuuji started to explain what happened all in detail from arriving at the island to the weird dreams to even Gojo the squirrel and finally to making the deal with Koro
"This.. if the great spirit Koro wasn't here i would've said you guys are lying.."-said Lumi in a calm tone mainly influenced by her shock
"So that's why we wouldn't tell anyone about the island and about its inhabitants"-said Yuuji
"Great spirit, may i ask something?"-said Lumi
"Hmm ? you shall go ahead and ask"-replied Koro
"Why do you want to keep this island a mystery"-said Lumi
"Simply because, why not ? but the correct answer would be because humans will fight over it so i simply decided to send any humans who come here away"
"I shall get going now this discussion is over. Until we meet again, Humans"
"I should also head back to the mansion"-said Lumi trying to get up
"WOAH WOAH NO YOU WON'T YOU STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED "-said Amilia jumping suddenly
"Yup she's right you should stay here for at least today"-said Yuuji in complete agreement with Amilia
