{👾}Chapter 64: The Keyblade Princess Battle{👾}

Roxana's P.O.V

We started running our way to go rescue Idia and Ortho when all of the sudden, my scanner goes off when it started to detect something, and I'm pretty sure Rook may have sensed it too.

Rook: Hmm? Something is walking at the back of the stairs
Epel: The size of it... Could it be Grim? Hey! Gri-mph!!
Rook: No, Epel! It's not Grim, that thing is 10cm shorter than him!
Vil: It's running really fast towards here. Get ready!
Roxana/Lea: Yeah!
Lea: We got this! Right Roxie?
Roxana: Yeah
Lea: Time to perfect it this time! Let's go

Lea and I rushed forward as we both pointed our Keyblades towards the phantom and shot a powerful spitfire towards it, only for it to disperse and be defeated.

Epel: I-It wasn't grim at all
Vil: Really, be careful not to do such a thing again
Rook: We have encountered more phantoms at the outside of the asylum. It seems like the lower floor is starting to melt too
Epel: I wonder where Grim is. I hope he hasn't been attacked by the phantom...
Rook: Don't worry, he is more brave and clever than how he looks. I'm sure he's hiding somewhere to escape from the danger
Vil: If I hit a tuna can with a fork, I feel like he will rush over here immediately
Lea: That doesn't sound like a bad idea
Dawn: I have a can of tuna~ but no fork
Roxana: Guys, he isn't a cat...
Epel: Speaking of this, back at the S.T.Y.X main office. You said you never met Grim for once here
Vil: Yes, I didn't even know he was here until you guys told me. Maybe... They suspect that the reason he attacked Roxana, Mae, and the others was caused by the effect of blot if he was originally going to be released with us tomorrow morning. It means the relation between Grim's violence after the VDC and blot may not be confirmed
Rook: Grim is a magical beast. No matter how tame he is, a beast can suddenly become wild again. You can't prevent it from happening, because they were born with such an instinct. But it's the same with humans too. Our sense of reason is like a fragile and unreliable thin ice. Which is why, Snow White. When Grim attacked you and your residents... It's most likely not "his"... I mean, "it's" intention
Roxana: I know that... Grim has been my mom familiar for so long... He was with her when she overblotted and how she was treated in therapy after her overblot
Vil: [gasp] What?
Roxana: My mom overblotted, because Sora took her family away... But that can't be true. Right?
Vil: Either way, it depends on how she saw it. The Organization XIII must've manipulated her mind at a very young age
Roxana:... Maybe you're right 'When we return from the school, I'll trim his nails'
Epel: Right? Roxie, Mae Senpai, and the rest of the residents in Night Raven Dorm spends more time with Grim than anyone else in the school. Because you guys are two as one student. I hope we can meet him soon
Roxana: Me too

Just thinking about all the happy times we spend with Grim, not to mention how all the trouble he causes leads us to an incredible adventure that helped me uncover more secrets about me and my family.

Rook: By the way, Roxana. Did Grim take good care of his nails? Even for house cars that have a body length of around 50cm, if you don't take good care of their nails, the long nails may hurt others unexpectedly. Grim is a 70cm magical beast. If he lives with humans, then taking care of his own nails is even more important
Vil: The importance of nail care doesn't only apply to beasts but also to humans. If you grow your nails not for fashion purposes but because you're lazy, then it's out of the question...

Vil continued to talk about the importance of nail care that I was starting to feel drowsy just hearing him rant about it, that Epel brought out the question as to how Vil and Rook met and that peeked my interest.

Vil: Oh... Speaking of this, I did say that before. But it's not a big deal though
Roxana: [pout] But I'm curious about it
Lea: Plus, it would be awkward to walk silently, so please...
Vil: Is that so?... Then I'll talk about it. The first time I talked to Rook was a few months after we entered the school. The first impression wasn't good... Ah! Look, it's the door of the next asylum
Epel: Ehhhhhhh!? But you just start talking!!
Roxana: What? But what about-
