You guys are so under I just...ahhhhh my heart! I just wanna hug each and every one you! Again I am sorry you but this does ease me a bit. I'll admit, this part of Heartslabyul's story is actually one of my favorites only because of Deuce. Also to clear any confusion "Signature Spell" comes from the official website and the Japanese version of the game. Anyways here's then next awaited chapter like always enjoy and happy reading!
*******************************************
"We've never spoken much or ever gotten together to hangout. I don't believe I ever even thanked you for saving me and Nezuko back then. But...now you're gone? Maybe if I've stepped in and approached you, you would still be here...I'm truly sorry. I don't know where you are or how you've disappeared but (Y/N) sama I promise you I'll get stronger no matter what! Maybe then...we'll see each other again and start over again in a better path. Please stay safe wherever you are."
~ Kamado Tanjiro 🎴
Surprisingly time didn't drag. Actually, to say the least, it actually went by pretty fast. And before they knew it, the group was already meeting by the woods behind the school.
"There's so many chestnuts all over the place! It's a forest full of them! It's like an all you can eat chestnut buffet!" Grim exclaimed happily.
"Let's get to picking now!" He said as he reached over for one.
"Wait, don't!"
"Hey, ouch! These chestnuts spines have pricks!!" Grim said in pain.
"I don't think we can do this with our bare
hands. We need something to grab them with as well as to hold them in." Deuce said.
"The botanical garden probably has whatever we need inside" Ace said with a shrug.
(Y/N) nodded agreeing with the orange haired male. "Ok, let's go have a look."
The group once again headed out towards the botanical gardens but not before taking care of Grim's paw.
"Alright, done and done. Let's go!"
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Look at this place, it's huge!" Ace exclaimed.
"There so many plants in here. They're all rather pretty..." (Y/N) added.
"Unlike the Corps, just Wisteria...it's different here. I kind of like this..."
"You guys are talking about the plants, but how about this weather?! It's real nice in here!" Grim said.
"If it's this large as it is, then there's got to be groundskeeper in here somewhere. Let's split up and look around." Deuce said to the three. "We're bound to find something."
"Me and Deuce will head this way." Ace said as he gestures towards the right path. "You guys take left."
"Sure." The female said giving him a nod.
(Y/N) looked around the garden mesmerized by all the plants with Kanzaburou on her shoulder as Grim made a comment every now and then about the plants.
"Maybe I should grow some flowers...I'm tired of seeing so many wisteria."
"Some of these fruits in here look reaaaal good don't you think (Y/N)?" Grim said as he smiled at the female.
"You're right." The female said agreeing with him before speaking once again. "But we're not here to pick any so don't-" She then got cut off when she heard a voice.
"Ugh..ouch!"
"It's..a tail.." (Y/N) said as she stared down at it before quickly stepping off. Soon a man rose from the ground staring down at the female.
"Hey! You've got some nerve stepping on someone's tail without saying anything." The male said with a grunt. "We're you casually planning on just walking away."
Now before stood a rather irritated looking young man with tan skin. He had dark brown hair that went down to his mid torso, with long, parted bangs that fell over. Two sections of hair on both sides of his face were braided and tied at the ends with yellow bands. Just like Cater, he had green eyes, but over his left eye he had a scar that went over it. He had lion ears on the top of his head along with a lion tail that had a dark brown tuft of fur at the end of it.
The female's gaze then shifted towards the yellow band he had making a small mental realizing.
"Savanaclaw."
"A groundskeeper shouldn't be talking to students that way. You should do a better job at it!" Grim said while the male simply narrowed his eyes at him.
"I was in the middle of a nice nap." The brown haired male said. "There's nothing worse than someone stepping on your tail and being woken up from a good nap."
"Caw! Then move it! Don't sleep on the floor!"
Kanzaburou countered before the female nodded. "He's right about the last part, but nevertheless I apologize for not watching where I was going..." She said apologetically.
"Hey, I remember you now." The male approached the raven haired female with a smirk on his lips. "You're that herbivore that wasn't assigned a dorm, the one that also can't use magic." He said before he started sniffing the female.
"What's with the weird name..."
(Y/N)'s dark blue hues widen before slightly pushing back the male, blushing a bit before she took a step back.
"Please...don't do that.." She mumbles looking away."
"Caw! Get away from Tomioka sama!"
"Yea, just who do you think you are!" Grim said now glaring at the male.
The male look at them before suddenly laughing. "So it's true, you don't smell of any magic at all!"
"No magic at all but just the smell of the ocean. The ocean breeze...Mm not bad.."
"It's no fun taking on a helpless opponent, especially if you can't even use magic." He said.
"But still, I'm going to do it. No one steps on my tail and simply walks away." His tone matching his body language clearly pissed off. "And I was in the middle of a good nap too."
"Obanai...but taller.."
The raven haired female narrowed her eyes as she placed a hand on the handle of her blade ready incase he tried anything.
"W...what's his deal." Grim said looking up at the female a bit unsure about the situation.
"I'm not sure...but I've never decapitated a furry.." The female mumbles to herself as she glares at the male.
"Caw! Don't worry Tomioka sama, there's always a first for everything!"
"You better grit you teeth, this is gonna hurt." He growled at the female ready to throw a punch before a new voice spoke interrupting the two.
"Leona? Leona san, there you are! I was looking for you!" The new voice said. (Y/N) recognized him as the male from the cafeteria, the one from the cafeteria.
"The cute hyena boy..."
The raven haired female let her arm dropped to her side as she stared at the sandy blonde haired male.
Noticing this, both Grim and Kanzaburou blocked the female's line of vision, blocking her sight from the two males.
"Hey, just who do you think you are?!" Grim called out with an angry crow beside him.
"Huh?" The long haired male who was known as Leona looked at Grim before looking at the Sandy blonde male.
"We have your after school work studies, remember? I knew you would be here so come on, let's go." The sandy blonde haired male said as he looked at Leona then glanced at the female before quickly looking away blushing slightly.
Leona sighed at the male's words. "Seriously, now?"
"Well you keep failing Leona. You've already had to repeat one year. If you kept this up again, we'll be in the same grade!" He said with a smile.
"Caw! Idiot, idiot!"
"Maybe it's true what they say. All brawn's but no brains to back it up...."
"Shut it Ruggie, I don't need any lectures from you. I'm tired of it." Leona said letting out a grunt.
"So I was right...an idiot." (Y/N) mumbled as the casually yet slowly approached Ruggie until she pat his head.
"So soft..."
"Wait what?"
"What?"
"What did I say?" She asked plainly.
The sandy blonde haired male now known as Ruggie blushed at the female's touch before soon growing angry with the male before him.
He gave him an angered looked before speaking again. "Look, it's not like I enjoy being on your tail, just come on. You could easy do this yourself if you only tried. Now let's go!"
Leona's gaze landed on Grim and Kanzaburou who were both watching the scene intently before them in case something were to happen to their dear (Y/N), then his eyes landed on the female who continued to gently pet the sandy blonde male's hair, to which in return all Ruggie did was smile happily. A small blush could be seen on his cheeks, annoying the older male.
"Tch..."
"Hmph, fine. Next time you decide to stink up my territory, there's gonna be a price to pay!"
The raven haired female dropped her hand to her side as she looked back up to Leona.
"I see.." She said simply said in response.
"Keep it in your minds as a message herbivores!" He said, before turning and walking away.
"See ya!" Ruggie grinned at the female before quickly following after the male.
Grim let out a sigh of relief as he watched the two figures leave. "I don't think I really like the sound of that! What is up with that guy?! He's a total psycho!"
"He was no groundskeeper for sure but definitely from Savanaclaw..." The female said as she let out a small sigh. "His change of attitude almost reminds me of Obanai. If that's the case, then he just needs his Mitsuri..."
"Obanai eh? Hey isn't that the person who Kanzaburou called a simp back at the mines?" Grim asked as he look from between the female and her crow.
"Caw! I wouldn't lie about this information! It's true!"
"Yes...he..said that." (Y/N) mumbles as she averted her eyes.
"Hey guys!" A familiar voice shouted as the female's head shot up, Ace already walking towards them along with Deuce trailing behind. "We found baskets and tongs."
"What in the world happened to guys?" Deuce asked Grim and Kanzaburou before staring at the female.
"Alright, let's get to harvesting!" Grim said as he mood seemed to change almost immediately.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
While the group was harvesting the chestnuts the had gathered Grim along with Kanzaburou had decided to tell Deuce and Ace about the traumatic experience they've suffered all while (Y/N) simply listened to them.
"And then, he left!" Grim said as (Y/N)'s crow nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Caw! And he doesn't know what personally space is!
"There is no way that guy could be a groundskeeper.." Ace said thinking about what the two had said.
"He had a yellow Savanclaw band.." The female spoke as she looks at the males.
"You know, for a top magic school there sure are an awful lot of delinquents here at Night Raven." Deuce said nodding in thought.
Ace looked down at the basket and looked at everyone with a grin. "Alright, this should be enough chestnuts. Now let's take these back to Trey."
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Once they arrived to the kitchen, Trey was already there to greet them all with a smile.
"Hey, welcome back. Looks like you all collected plenty of them!!" Trey said as he looked at the baskets before him.
"Now with this you can make us a huge massive tart!" Grim said.
"Well, the bigger the tart is, the harder it'll be to peel all these chestnuts. So, good luck with that!" Trey said.
"We...we have to peel all of these?" Deuce mumbles as he then the out a small sigh. "Is it too late to back out?"
"The key to good baking is preparation. I know it's challenging but it'll definitely be worth it in the end. Now then, let's get to work." Trey said as he grabbed a chestnut.
"He's right.." The female said before she grabbed a chestnut and started peeling.
"Yes! We've already come this far and we're not giving up now!" Ace said.
"Kanzaburou is so lucky he doesn't have hands."
"The sooner we start, the soon we'll get this over with." Everyone nodded getting to work on peeling the chestnuts.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"There, we're finally done!" Ace exclaimed, already feeling exhaustion hit him.
"Yea, my arm is actually killing me.." Deuce groaned as he rubbed his sore arm.
(Y/N) stared at her two friend before looking at all the peeled chestnuts. "..I hardly ever baked anything, but if it's always as soothing as this, well...I wouldn't mind doing it again if it's with you all."
Silence overtook the kitchen as the males simply stared at the raven haired female in shock and slightly taken aback at her words feeling a bit flustered. Trey out of the three was smiling at her words.
"Even if it's hard work, I wouldn't mind spending time baking with you."
"Well I'm glad you're having a good time." The green haired male said giving a closed eye smile before facing Deuce. "All your pain will only make this so much sweeter."
"Just the smell itself has got me full!" Grim said tiredly.
"Next we need to add butter and sugar to the chestnut paste, and for a sensible splash of flavor, oyster sauce! A secret ingredient!" Trey said.
"Oyster sauce?!" Deuce and Ace exclaimed in shocked all while (Y/N)'s eyes widen.
The richness of the oysters gives the cream
a deep, savory flavor." He said, before shoving a can to the group for them to see. "I particularly use this one right here. Walrus brand Young Oyster Sauce. Every baker knows to use it for their tarts."
"....but" (Y/N) tilted her head to her side, Kanzaburou mimicking her action as she stared at the can. "Salty stuff doesn't mix too well with sweet.."
"Caw! Sounds unpleasant!"
"Some folks put chocolate into curry don't they? Maybe it's the same idea..." Ace said before trail off.
Trey soon let out a laugh as he then set the oyster sauce can down on the counter. "Guy, I'm totally lying! No one in their right mind would put oyster sauce into a pastry. (Y/n), Kanzaburou, you guys were right." He said as he smiled at the female and her crow.
"What?! So you were just messing with us?!" Ace said angrily.
Trey let out a chuckle as he smiles at Ace's reaction. "If you'd used your brain, you'd have realized how ridiculous it was! Just let that be a lesson to you. Don't believe everything you hear."
The female nodded in agreement. "He's right, I've baked for myself back at the Corps or that time when I made taiyaki for Grim it never crossed me to ever put some so salty in something sweet." She said all while Kanzaburou nodded.
"Taiyaki? So you bake?" Trey question the female curiously who just gave a small shrug.
"I'm out on missions usually kept busy back at the Corps. Though to answer your question, yes I can cook and do occasionally bake for myself." She said giving the green haired male a nod.
"Well Grim seemed to rather enjoy them, maybe I'll make you some taiyaki senpai." (Y/N) said as Trey blushed a bit but smiled nonetheless.
"Well that would be great." He responded.
"Hmph, and here I thought this human was
actually somewhat decent." Grim said while glaring at Trey.
Trey smiled at Grim also feeling the burning gazes of Deuce and Ace at the back of his skull. "Well then, next I'll put in the crea- Oh!"
"Is everything ok senpai?" The female questioned.
"You all gathered so many chestnuts that we may have overdone it with the chestnut paste. I don't think we have enough cream to mix in." He said with a small sigh.
"If it's sold at the school store I can go out and buy some." Deuce then offered.
"They sell pretty much everything at the school store. Can I also have you pick me up a few other things for me? I need two carton of milk, two packs of eggs. Here, I'll just go ahead and give you a list." Trey said as he then gave Deuce a list of the needed items.
"Wait, I don't think I'll be able to carry all this back alone." Deuce before looking at the female next to him. "(Y/n), do you mind coming with me?"
"Sure." She said with Kanzaburou already by her side.
"Wait, I'm coming with you!" Grim said as he quickly made his way over towards the two. "I'm tired and I need a break!"
"Alright, let's go."
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Hello, is there- Whoa. Just look at this place, this shop is so wild. They have crystal skulls, weird grimoires, taxidermies and uh....I don't really even know what animal that is, but it looks cool!" Deuce said as he looked around the shop mesmerized by all the variety of things.
"Caw! This is my kind of place!"
Kanzaburou cried out happily before he then flew off to who knows where making the female shrug.
"So uh...do you guys think they really sell cream here?" Grim said as he inches closer to the female.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind the counter accompanied by Kanzaburou who perched himself on the male's head.
"Am I being betrayed again..."
Before them stood a young man with magenta eyes. He had black and purple locs of hair flipped over the right side of his head adorned with an undercut. He wore a black apron which was tied together with a black and white ribbon. He had a single pocket visible near his hip holding a strange object unknown to the female.
"Greetings to you my stray little imps, how do you fare today?" The male said, waving at them rather happily. "I welcome you to Mr. Sam's Mystery Shop. What among my humble selection may interest you? A charm from a secluded land? The mummified remains of an ancient king, or perhaps a cursed tarot card?" He said as he showed them various objects.
"Caw! I suggest a card reading, Sam is good at them!"
"So they've met already."
The group was slightly taken aback from the selection and at Kanzaburou's words.
"Eh?"
"I wasn't expecting this kind of selection!" Grim said.
"We.....uh, we actually wanted to buy all the items on this list...." Deuce said before handing Sam the list from Trey.
Sam looked at the list as he then read it over. "What's this? Cream, eggs, milk, hm..this is quite the list you have! Have no worry my dear imps, I'll get everything for you." He said before walking off.
"Guess he really does stock that stuff, huh?" Deuce said as he looked around the shop.
(Y/N) nodded in response. "Trey did say the school store has everything." She said as she glanced around behind her getting an odd feeling of being watched.
"Yea, you're right." Deuce said.
"That's..strange. I feel someone's watching me.."
"Caw! Let's visit often!"
"Of course you would like this place.." Grim commented glaring at the crow from afar.
Sam returned with Kanzaburou as he put the items in bags for them. "Alright, here you go. It's pretty heavy, are you sure you can carry all of this? Luckily for you, we have a 30% off on our flying saucers! They're perfect for carrying groceries!"
"Hey, that sounds great!" Grim said as he nodded at the male liking the idea.
"Caw! Business is business let's do it!"
"Thank you, but we have to decline." Deuce said.
"Perhaps another time, thank you for your help." The female said as she gave the male a small bow. "Enjoy the rest of your day."
"Caw! See you later Sam!"
"Let's go." Deuce said as he and the female left the shop along with Kanzaburou and Grim who begrudgingly left the shop.
"Until next time, my little imps. Please do come again! Ciao, goodbye!" Sam said as he waved at them as they walked out the shop. "And it was great seeing you once again my dark feathery little friend!"
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now out the shop, Deuce and (Y/N) clenched their bags in their hand as they all made their way back to the kitchen to meet back up with Trey and Ace.
"That store was amazing." Deuce said with a grinned still amazed from the sights back at the shop.
(Y/N) nodded at his words. "Yes, it was very nice though I'll admit, it was beyond anything I've ever seen...I liked it."
"Yea, yea. Hey speaking of which, how do you know that shopkeeper?" Grim said as he eyed Kanzaburou who perched himself on Deuce's head.
"Caw! That's a secret!"
"Betrayal..again maybe?"
"Well whatever I still can't believe I didn't get my cans of tuna and that sweet sweet deal! That's so cheap of you!" Grim exclaimed now glaring at Deuce.
"Ha, cheap?! Who are you calling cheap?!" Deuce argued back.
"Caw! Business is business!"
Deuce let's out a sigh before glancing at the female. "Hey (Y/N), are those bags too heavy for you? They got most of the cans so there, let me take them." He said as he offered a small smile to the female.
"Oh..it's alright. Don't worry about it Deuce." The female mumbles as she looked down at the bag that held the cans inside.
"You know, there's actually a little trick for carrying heavy bags like that." The blue haired male said.
"A trick? Really?" She said a bit surprised by his words.
"Yea, my mom always used to stock up at
sales, and the bags would get so ridiculously heavy and since I was the only guy in the house I did all the heavy lifting. I would help her around, help with the cleaning and- heh, oh sorry. I'm just talking a bunch on boring nonsense! Haha I didn't really mean to bore you like that." Deuce then quickly apologized as the female then shook her head.
"No, don't be sorry. You help your mother around the house, something I can't do. I find that very sweet of you." She said making the blue haired male blush.
"Caw! You think just because you're a gentleman you can get Tomioka sama's attention!?"
"Hey wait no, it's not like that. Calm down Kanzaburou, the truth is I just-" Deuce started to speak but was then cut off as he accidentally bumped into someone.
"Hey, oww!" Someone said and before they knew it the sound of cracking eggs was heard.
"Gah, the eggs!" Grim cried out.
"Caw! My distant unborn grandchildren!"
"The eggs are all smashed and everywhere now..." The female said as she let out a small sigh.
"Hey, why don't you watch where you're- oh?" The male said before soon realizing who they were. "You're those jerks who broke the egg yolk on my carbonara!" The silver haired male said before pointing an accusing finger towards the female. "And you're that freaky psycho who threatened us!"
"Freaky psycho..?"
"I've had just about enough of you punks. You need to learn your place!" The red haired male said.
All while they were yelling at the female and Deuce, (Y/N) stared at the males. They indeed were the two males from the cafeteria, but they looked different. (Y/N) noticed that the silver haired male seem to have a broken arm while his redhead friend had a couple of bruises, bandages, and a few scratches adorned on him. Even though she wasn't a big fan of them, she did however wonder what they could of possibly done to end up in such a condition.
"Looks like they've angered the wrong person...wonder what they did.."
"You're the ones who came out at us from around a corner and you picked a fight with us at lunch over an damn egg that you were still totally able to eat!" Deuce said slowly getting angrier by each passing second.
"And now you've gone and destroyed six of our eggs!" He said.
"Yeah!" Grim said agreeing with the blue haired male.
"What, you're saying that this was all our fault? Is that it?" The silver haired male said.
"Yes, of course.." The female gave a nod.
"Please compensate us for the eggs you've destroyed. And then apologize to the chickens and Kanzaburou." Deuce said.
"Well look who's finally got his big boy pants on. You know, you're sure are making quite a big deal out of some stupid eggs." The red haired male said.
"What did you say?"
"Quit your whining, they haven't even touched the ground. They're still edible." The silver haired male added.
"You should be thanking us from saving you the trouble of cracking them!" The redhead male said before the two of them laughed.
"This isn't funny.." Deuce mumbles looking at the ground with clenched fists.
The female was taken aback as she stared at the male. His personality switching up almost immediately shocking her a bit.
"What?"
"Wait what?"
"I said that isn't funny! You don't get to call my eggs stupid. You don't get to call any eggs stupid! Those eggs may not have gotten to be chicks, but they were gonna make some amazing tarts! Do you get it yet? Do you?!" Deuce yelled angrily now glaring at the seniors as Kanzaburou only adding more fuel to the flame.
"Wait, chicks? But they're not..fertilized"
"Caw...they killed my young distant grandchildren..." The crow wept from atop Deuce's head. (Y/N) knew what he was doing and this made the raven haired female sweat drop at the sight.
"Yea! How do you think Kanzaburou feels about all this?!" Deuce said as he glared at the seniors all while the crow continued to weep.
"He's just...why.."
"What is with this guy all of a sudden?!" The read said slightly taken aback. "And that bird..what the heck?!" The two panicked slightly at Deuce's sudden change in behavior.
"You two owe me six eggs each and if you're not going to pay me for them, then you're getting a bruise for each one you've destroyed!"
"Haa?! The two males exclaimed in shocked all while the female just let the situation be.
"You can't be serious right?!" The silver haired male said.
"Better clench your teeth assholes!"
"I should really stop this, but they deserve it..doesn't help much that Kanzaburou added more fuel to Deuce's anger."
The female simply watched with a blank stare as Deuce ran up and threw a punch at one of the seniors.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eventually, after a few punches were thrown, Deuce was finished beating up the delinquent seniors.
"That was more than six! Gah, this guys is out of his damn mind!" The silver haired male exclaimed.
"Sorry to your eggs and your bird! Let's just go!" The redhead male said before the two soon ran off.
"Next time you eat an egg you both better apologize to them a hundred times, you jerks!" Deuce said watching as they ran off.
"I think you felt with them enough.." The female said calmly to him.
"I...ugh!" Deuce's eyes widen before he then out a frustrated sigh.
"Just what the heck was that?!" Grim asked.
"I...I didn't again didn't I? Ugh and I promised I would definitely be an honors student this time!"
"What do you mean?"
"In middle school all I ever did was screw around, I was pretty wild then. I constantly skipped school and got into fights. I even disrespected my teachers and hung out with bullies, I bleached my hair too. I would ride around on my Magic Wheel and I'd show off my magic to kids who couldn't use it yet. I was a total punk." The male explained sounding a bit frustrated.
"But then one night, I saw my mom trying to hide away from me as she called my grandma. I remember seeing her in tears. "Was the way I raised him wrong? Would it have been better if he had both parents? Maybe I should never have tried raising him by myself" But she was wrong. My mom never did anything wrong. It was all me!" Deuce exclaimed remember the sad look on his mother's face as she called his grandmother.
"So when the carriage came to take me to Night Raven College she was so happy for me. I decided then and there that this time, I wouldn't do anything to ever make her cry. That this time, I would become an honor student, someone she could be proud of. And now, I've already messed it all up!" He said sadly.
(Y/N) stayed quiet taking in the blue haired male's words before soon speaking. "It's only natural for you to feel that way, you're only human. Everyone goes through it, but it's admirable to know you would do anything to keep a smile on your mother's face." She said as Deuce stared at her before smiling a bit.
"Yea, but you still kicked butt!" Grim said to the male now grinning from ear to ear as the female nodded.
"He's right, they did get what they deserved. They're lucky they're not demons, otherwise I would of taken care of them myself.."
"Caw! We all get angry, unless you're Sanemi then you need professional help for that!"
"You guys.." Deuce started off as he smiled at them. "I just hope all those baby chicks can now rest in peace." The blue haired male said as he then sadly looked at all the crack eggs. "I'm sorry Kanzaburou.."
Silence loomed over them as no one spoke of a couple of seconds uttering a single word.
"Um, Deuce..I hate to say this but there won't be any baby chicks...they weren't fertilized and Kanzaburou was just messing with you." The female quietly spoke now shocking the male.
"E-eh? Seriously?!" Deuce exclaimed as he stared at the crow in shock.
"Caw! I may have messed with him but at least I know who to go to if I become a father!"
"No way.." Deuce mumbled in disbelief as the female pat his head.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The three as well as Kanzaburou soon made their way to the kitchen greeted by Ace.
"Hey you guys are finally back! What took you so long?"
"Come on, let's get started." Trey said to them with a smile.
(Y/N) nodded while Deuce gave a small nod still looking rather gloomy after his new found news.
"Cheer up, it could of been worse." Grim said to the blue haired male only making him more gloomy.
"This might take a while.."
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Now we just sprinkle the top with just a little bit of powdered sugar..." Trey said as he carefully sprinkled some of the sugar on the tart.
"And we're done!"
"Finally finished!" Grim, Kanzaburou, and Ace cheered as (Y/N) gave a satisfied nod.
"Y...yay, finished..." Deuce weakly cheered still sulking.
"Did something happen to him while you were shopping?" Ace asked the female as he then eyed the sulking male.
"Caw! He had a reality check, the truth can hurt sadly.."
"Just..leave him alone for now. He'll be ok, he just needs a bit of space for now." The female said as she looked back at the orange haired male.
"For sixteen years, I actually believed that..." The blue haired male mumbles.
"He's like Tanjiro...he must be protected from all the cruelties out there.."
(Y/N) made a mental note as she clenched her fist staring at the blue haired male before giving herself a small nod.
"Yea well, I'm beat. Making tarts sure takes a bath whole lot out of you." Ace said as he let out a sigh.
Are the tarts done? You look like a total mess." Cater said now coming through the door with a bright smile adorned on his face before looking at the freshly made tarts. "Ooh, those look so cute! Let me just snap a real quick pic for Magicam!" He said as he finished taking pictures of the tarts.
"What did you come here for?" Ace said.
"I just came by to check up on my cute little underclassmen and my favorite prefect! You guys are working so hard you all look pretty tired." Cater said as he let out a small chuckle.
"Well, it's tough work if you're not used to it, but there's no better cure for that tired feeling than something sweet straight from the oven!" Trey said as he then smiled at them. "Help yourself to some of this tart."
"Yay!" The males exclaimed happily as they took a slice of the tart, Cater and Trey joining them as (Y/N) took a small slice for Kanzaburou.
"Cater, did you just come here to eat some of the tart?" Ace asked the male.
"Well someone's gotta be your official taste tester, so here I am." Cater said.
"It smells so sweet!" Grim said letting out a satisfied sigh. "I can't wait to dig in!"
"Let's eat!"
"Amazing!" Aced said as his eyes widen after he swallowed his piece.
"It's so good!" Cater said.
"It's so sweet! I love it" Deuce said.
"Caw! It's like a garden of chestnuts, delicious! Every crows dream come true! Try it Tomioka sama!
(Y/N) stared at her slice of tart on her plate, never having tried anything like it before. She then took a small bite of it as the males stared at her in anticipation waiting for her response.
Her dark orbs widen as she hummed in satisfaction. "It's so sweet, and rich in flavor. It's very good, I've never had anything like it before."
Trey smiled at the female glad that she enjoyed her first tart.
"Oh, hey Trey! You gotta do the thing for them!" Cater said.
"What thing?" (Y/N) questioned curiously.
"Yea, what's this about?" Ace asked.
"What are you're favorite foods?" Trey then asked them.
"Mine, I'd say cherry pie and hamburgers!" Ace said.
"Canned tuna definitely. Oh and probably cheese omelet, and grilled meat, pudding..." Grim said naming a few things.
"Omelet rice I guess..." Deuce said.
"Caw! I like berries!"
"A lamb chop with diablo sauce." Cater said.
"I like simmered salmon with daikon." (Y/N) said.
"All right here we go." Trey said as he then grabbed his pen.
"Doodle Suit!"
"Huh, what happened? What does that mean?" Deuce asked slightly confused.
"Now take another bite of your tart and see." Trey said.
Ace then took a bite of his tart. "Hm? But this..hey! It taste just like cherry pie!" He said shocked.
"Mine tastes like canned tuna!" Grim exclaimed happily before taking another bite. "Oooh now it tastes like cheese omelette and grilled meat and pudding too!"
(Y/N) took a bite of her tart before her eyes widened again. "Amazing....it tastes just like simmered salmon with daikon.." She said as she smiled a bit.
"Pretty cool trick don't you think? That's gotta be a quite the hit when you're having tea with the ladies." Cater smiled as he then glanced at the raven haired female.
"It's amazing. Is changing the flavors of food your signature spell?" Deuce asked the green haired male.
"Actually, its magic that's overwriting a component. I can change taste, color, smell basically whatever. It only lasts for a little while.
"If I had magic like yours, my dream of eating canned tuna as an everyday meal would finally come true! That's way better than Riddle's stupid collar magic!" Grim said.
"Oh no, Riddle's on a whole other league. His signature spell is a weapon while mine is just mere child's play." Trey said as he gave them a small smile. "And speaking of which, it's too late to give Riddle these now." He said as he looked at the tarts. "Let's call it a day now and give him the tart tomorrow. Also, don't forget that tomorrow's the unbirthday party."
"(Y/N) would you please allow me to have another sleepover with you? I don't think my hotties upperclassmen will let me back into the dorm!" Ace said as he glared at the two males.
"Seriously again?" Cater said.
"Ace, it isn't right to just keep bothering (Y/N) like this." Deuce said.
"Yea, that's right! If you wanna stay, pay ten cans of tuna!" Grim said.
(Y/N) sighed at the males words before facing the orange haired male. "It's ok Ace, you can come over. You'll sleep next to me like last time." The female said bluntly not thinking much on her words as the two upperclassmen and Deuce stared at them with a look of horror mixed with shock.
"What?!" The male's suddenly exclaimed as the (Y/N) stared at them slightly confused meanwhile Ace averted his eyes slightly embarrassed.
"What did I say..."
"If he did anything to her I'll kill him.."
"Hey, I know." Trey said as he then gave them a strained almost forced smile. "Why don't you stay over at (Y/n)'s dorm too Deuce, so you can keep an eye on him?"
Cater then walked over towards the raven haired female as he slightly pushed the orange haired male to the side. "That's our Trey for you, he always spoiling the new kids. Oh I know, maybe I'll come too!" He said before hugging the female from behind like at the cafeteria. "How about it Ms prefect, can I join?"
"Is today national abuse Ace day?! What gives.."
"No not you." Trey bluntly blurted out.
Cater sadly sighed as her let go of the female. "Aww, boo no fun..."
"I'm sorry you have to deal with both of them tonight (Y/n)" Trey said as he gave the female a small smile.
"It's alright, I don't mind the company." She said.
"Tomorrow's the unbirthday party. Finally, I'm gonna get rid of this stupid collar!" Ace exclaimed already excited for the next day.
"Let's hope it goes smoothly
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"And you can sleep here."
The female said as she finished setting up the other futon for Deuce which now laid out to her left while Ace's laid out to her right, leaving her in the middle in between the two.
Deuce stared at the futon before looking at Ace and then (Y/N) who gave him a confused look.
"What?
"This is not what I thought happened..." He mumbled as Ace simply smirked at him.
"..Huh?"
