Instead of using train or any other transportation, Eleonora use her teleportation spell to go to Asahigaoka faster than using those. Of course it's not like she has to hide it in order to do it since magic slowly became norm and everyone would always witness that in every day life of them since the shocking reveals about monster, magic, dungeon, and so on is become real; not just a fantasy or fiction from fairy tales or anything.

Not Fairy Tail, but fairy tales. People often mistook it for Fairy Tail, a story about young mage and her guild that always use the power of friendship to overcome anything, even if the opponent has something that repel or make anyone who use magic becomes useless around him.

But that's not important as it's not the focus of this.

Eleonora already knew Fairy Tail and she find it horrible since everything is according power of friendship. Recently when she in Kagamihara's, she also watches some new anime that she hasn't seen since she only watch Fate/Stay Night and that's why she know what Fairy Tail is it. She also watches anime other than that and thankfully to one of her talent and magic, she capable to watch five anime simultaneously without hurting her eyes and neck.

Let's not forget that she recently create a new magic, which is sort of time manipulation. She name it [Time Manipulation] as she think it's fitting the name and don't want to give it any ridiculous name like anyone who have 8th-graded syndrome always do. She's not a person like that and it's kind of embarrassing if she named it like that.

And she combined it with [Magic Blue], a time manipulation magic which is inverior version of her own [Time Manipulation]. She combined both of them and resulted her to gain new magic or skill through of it, which is named [Wheel of Fate: Clock of Time].

It's kind of embarrassing for her seeing the name, but she can't do anything since it's automatically named and she can't change it. She doesn't know why but decided to let it go and don't think too much about that; it's not like she has to announce the name so loud when using it.

She also remember about [Shikigami Summoning]. If she summons them, she can uses them to gain any kind of information or protect the people who important or close to her. That's why she used the shikigamis and order them to disperse and protect the people she mentioned.

As she arrived at Asahigaoka, there's a lot of rice field. She then tried to walking and has seen nothing but rice field whenever she goes. But fortunately for her, the direction of Hotaru's home isn't that far and she has to walk to get there after teleporting from Kagamihara's house; she didn't directly teleport to the front of Hotaru's home, but instead take a detour and observing the surrounding around her.

She also curious about the dungeon that was told by Hotaru from the call.

And after walking for an hour, with how cold the temperature in this month and season, Eleonora felt a bit cold and quickly opened her [Inventory] so she could wears the jacket that can warm her entire body and preparing her fire magic to warm her in case if her jacket can't do the job to keep her warm

'But still… is the monster resistance to cold? In this kind of weather and season, normally in any RPG there's some monster who didn't stand cold and became weak. If it's weak, then I have no problem to deal with it fast. Although from my statistic and skill sets alone I would be considered powerful, there's no harm to be cautious, as long as I am not overly cautious.'

She thought of that as she finally arrived at the front yard of a house. There's a name plate engraved onto the house and says 'Ichijou' on it. Seeing that, Eleonora smiled and walk closer to the door and knock it gently to make sure anyone in the house would come and greet her. Although this is still daytime and probably Hotaru isn't in home yet due to her school.

"Yeees!"

Hearing a sound to respond to her knocking, she could heard footsteps that being closer to the door and the sound of door knob being opened, revealing a woman who has similar look to Hotaru, but this woman has older look and motherly aura; the woman has braids that she hangs on her back and brown eyes.

Seeing the one who knocking her door house, the woman lips curled into a smile as smiled happily as she knew who is it. Eleonora is someone she knew very well and she couldn't forget a girl as attractive as she is.

"Nora-chan!"

Eleonora nodded at the woman with smile on her face

"Haruka-san."

Both then hugging each other warmly while Eleonora could felt her hair being stroked by Haruka gently, although in this case Haruka isn't taller than Eleonora and that's why the young girl felt a bit awkward at that as she could felt the softness and squishiness of Haruka's b.r.e.a.s.t; but she don't dare to have indecent thought.

A few second later, both broke the hugs and smiling at each other until Haruka spoke.

"Long time no see, Nora-chan. How are you doing these days?"

"I'm fine, Haruka-san and sorry for not tell you about my sudden visit."

"No problem. I bet it's Hotaru who tell you to come, right? That kid is always like that, want to secretly lovey-dovey with you and didn't inform us anything about it. She can be selfish and childish whenever with you or her own family."

Haruka said that with tired sigh came from her mouth, but Eleonora just shake her head and wave her hands in respond of that.

"It's okay, Haruka-san. I kind of understand why she did that. Maybe because how rare I have free time, she decided to be like that, since I'm always burdened by many works that sometimes takes a long time to finish. If my parents hadn't forced me to take days off, then I would be still holed up in my office."

Eleonora said that with awkward laugh as she scratch her cheek, make Haruka fondly smile at her when she said that to her, who basically Eleonora mother-in-law. Not going to lie, Eleonora think the beauty and cuteness of Hotaru is inherited from her mother, but of course the long bluish-haired girl refrain to seduce Haruka and added her into her harem.

There's no way she would do that.

Haruka who heard that just giggling cutely.

"I am glad you spend your time aside from work, Nora-chan. It's bad for your health and mind if you kept doing that. No human could last long, even someone like our Prime Minister also take leave from his work and enjoy his holiday. Moreover you're still young, you has a lot of time to enjoy your youth."

"Haha... I think so but thank you, Haruka-san."

Haruka shake her head and blinked as she noticed something while raise her eyebrows.

"Nora-chan, is there any particular reason you coming here? Hotaru still in school and maybe around afternoon she would come home."

"Ah… there's something I want to investigate or rather, I want to take a look about the so-called dungeon that currently appear in this village. Have you know anything about that, Haruka-san?"

Haruka became surprised when she heard that and nodded slightly at Eleonora, gaining a look from the young girl.

"Yes. A lot of people became uneasy whenever near or around the place where that dungeon located. But thankfully, there's no casuality. No villager getting hurt or anything since they always wary and very careful when close to that dungeon. But it still bother people and may becomes serious problem later."

Eleonora rubs her chin and cross her arms when heard this.

"Hm… is that so? Maybe I can take a look and solve that dungeon. It's not like I'm arrogant or anything, but I'm pretty confident with my abilities."

"Abilities? Nora-chan, you are one of those 'Awakened'?"

Haruka became surprised again knowing that fact and it became clear when Eleonora respond that with nod and confident smile flashed on her face. The mother of Hotaru then became relieved and slightly happier because she always believe what Eleonora said; since the young girl never gave her anything that doubt her and that made Haruka fully trust her daughter-in-law, even her own daughter also believe and put on her full trust to Eleonora.

There's no need to doubt Eleonora at all, since she also know what kind of person Eleonora is from her perspective and judgment. Over the years she knew Eleonora, Haruka and Hotaru already get a perfect impression of Eleonora and the long bluish-haired girl also not disappoint her at all.

"Really?! Then I don't have to worry about anything. Ah, but please don't push yourself with the investigation or dealing with the dungeon. Okay? I don't want to see my Hotaru crying and heartbroken when seeing you getting hurt."

Haruka said that with smile and reminding her as she winked at Eleonora. Seeing Haruka doing cute thing despite how old she is, Eleonora just find it adorable as she chuckled and nods her head understanding about what Hotaru's mother said to her.

Anyone don't want someone precious to them getting hurt or in trouble. Moreover, Hotaru is still young, she has the mind of young girl unlike Eleonora who has the mind of a.d.u.l.t woman; although their age is closer while Eleonora is older than Hotaru.

"I understand that, Haruka-san. I'll try to not push myself to certain extend. It's kind of bad seeing Hotaru crying or sad."

Eleonora said that while scratching her right cheek as she smile nervously. Haruka just snorted seeing her daughter-in-law nervous smile and how her gesture showed to her right now, she cannot help but showing a small smile on her lips regarding that.

"Then, while waiting for Hotaru finished her school, how about going inside? I'd love to talk about some things with you, Nora-chan."

The long bluish-haired young girl nodded at Haruka.

"Yes, Haruka-san. Pardon my intrusion then."

Haruka waving her right hand to Eleonora.

"No, not all. Come on."

Eleonora nodded as she following Haruka as she goes inside Ichijou's house. The house so far is different than the one she remember since she and Hotaru is basically childhood friend and Hotaru's previous house isn't that far from where Eleonora live, but due her father work transfer, Hotaru and her family has no choice but moved from Tokyo to remote and humble village which is Asahigaoka.

Since that day, which is a month ago, they have been in contact with each other whenever they have a free time to ask about their condition or just some small talk. And that's why Eleonora had an idea to establish new branch on Asahigaoka, one of them is to make the villager has an easy access to modern things, it's not like Eleonora want to destroy the environment of the village but just to help it.

'Well, as long as Hotaru and her family is happy, I think I'm okay with that. They live in remote village after all and knowing Hotaru, she would have some boring time since it seems in this village, there's nothing to do to pass time and it's really peaceful. It's so quiet.'

Eleonora thought of that after already observing the village. She more or less know about the village, although there's some missing details like culture, economy, and so on. But that can be postponed, since her goal in here right now is investigating the dungeon, monster, ensure the safety of Ichijou's family and meet again with her girlfriend, Hotaru.

'The strong has the duty and responsibility to protect the weak. If I have the power to do it, especially towards my precious person, then I'd absolute doing it. And if I somehow saved stranger, then I think it can benefit me because they can owe me by doing that.'

She thought of that in her mind as she already inside the Ichijou's family house.

------

Sighing, a young girl who has neat collarbone-length black hair suddenly felt a bit bored. It's not like she hate living in remote village such as Asahigaoka, but it just there's no one like her girlfriend who stay close to her. Although she already living in the village for a month, she cannot deny the peaceful and quite atmosphere that sometimes tickle her a bit in here. She own handphone but rarely use it outside of her home, since people would find it inappropriate to use handphone in this kind of village and they maybe find it strange, that's why she always put it in the bag.

As Hotaru sighing, someone noticed that and it's one of her closed friend, a girl who has waist-length brown hair and has the child-like appearance despite being the oldest girl in this school, although she always have some kind of insecure about her stature.

"Hotaru, what's wrong?"

Hearing that her name being called, Hotaru blinked and turn her head away to the one who did that and find it was her senpai who look at her with confusion as she tilt her head. Seeing that, Hotaru just smile awkwardly since she don't know what she should do in response of her senpai question, but mentally nods her head when found something that she came up to.

"Ah, Komari-senpai. It's just… nothing."

Komari who heard that cannot believe what Hotaru said and pressing again the question to her.

"Hotaru, are you sure? What's wrong? You could tell me anything if you have a problem."

Komari asked that with worried tone as she concerned about Hotaru, after seeing the expression Hotaru put on her face, she couldn't bear it and want to ask that her friend about it. It's also one of the thing that could increase Komari's feminity and she can be trusted or viewed as a.d.u.l.t, since she has child-like stature; despite she's the eldest girl in the school.

Hotaru just laugh nervously.

'Komari-senpai worry about me… I cannot make her like that. Should I hide it again? But that would make her more worried and possibly crying about my condition that might get worse from her perspective.'

After giving it a deep and serious thought, Hotaru give up and sighing again as she looked at Komari who currently has mixed of confusion and worried on her face that was so obvious that anyone around would noticed that, if not then that person would be dense or their mind is kinda slow to comprehend what happened.

Hotaru don't want to make her friend to worried about her that much. That's why she has to say it to Komari, but not all of them since the eldest girl would be shocked when knowing that Hotaru already has girlfriend before her, who is supposed to be the oldest girl and has the role of big sister but cannot be believed due to her child-like appearance.

"Um… it's just that I'm worried about my friend that came to my home today."

This made Komari blinked and became curious, Natsumi, the youngest siblings of Komari and her little sister along with a girl who known as Renge, happened to heard what they talked about and immediately butting in their conversation.

"Heyaaa! Nee-chan, Hotarun. Whatcha talking about? Seems interesting! Care if I join?"

"Hey, hey! What are you talking about, Koma-chan, Hotarun? Renge want to know about it."

"Natsumi! Don't just butt in like that! And Renchon, don't imitate Natsumi too."

Hotaru just sweatdrop and laugh dryly when seeing the behavior of them, especially Komari who trying to calm both Natsumi and Renge who suddenly became excited and curious as they want to join the conversation of Hotaru and Komari.

Although Komari tried so hard to be a.d.u.l.t and responsible big sister, Hotaru couldn't help but comparing her to Eleonora who basically the same age with Komari yet did something beyond that. She still proud and amazed by how responsible her girlfriend is and so charimastic. She is the ideal figure of what Hotaru want to be, a proper and responsible woman.

After calming both Natsumi and Renge, Komari sighing tiredly as she wipe her forehead since she felt tired, especially handling how stubborn Natsumi is, knowing she has to do it almost everyday because of her stubbornness and how irresponsible the tomboyish girl in their house and family.

"Alright. Hotaru, you said that your friend. Is that the friend you had from Tokyo before moved in here?"

Hotaru nodded at Komari.

"Have. But yes, Komari-senpai. I already contacted her two days ago and miss her, so I ask if she has a time to come visit me. I think she already in my home and I couldn't help but felt a bit guilty since I'm not there when she coming."

"I see… then what about we going to your home after school? Or at least contact her if you really worried to leave her in your home? Ah, but is it allowed for us to make call with phone…"

Overheard their conversation, Renge's oldest sister then came in response of that.

"It's okay, y'know. As long as you're behaving and not causing any trouble. But also don't take it too long, okay? I don't want it become a habit and thankfully since Roozlent Company recently about to improve the environment of this village, using cellphone or anything is possible."

Hearing Roozlent Company, Hotaru couldn't help but smile and feels happy in her heart, since the company that her girlfriend owned and managed is causing a great influence to others, especially the people in this village so they could have better lifestyle.

She also could use internet in her house if that's happened.

Hotaru then nodded at Kazuko who smiling at her.

"Yes, thank you very much, sensei!"

Komari and Natsumi went agape when heard that and looking at Kazuho with deadpan expression on their faces since they already expect that kind of answer from her. Hotaru ignored that and quickly take out her phone from the bag she always carry, and calling the phone number of Eleonora.

As she waiting for the call being picked up, she then heard a voice through the phone and smiled.

"Hello, Hotaru? What's wrong?"

"A-Ah, Leo. Yes, it's me and I just want to ask something. Are you already in here? I mean, this village."

"Hm, yes. Right now I'm currently with your mother at your home. Shouldn't you still be at school? Is it really okay to use phone?"

"Hehe, it's okay. Sensei allow me to use it if it not too long."

"Oh, so it's like that, huh. Give her my thanks and is there something you need, Hotaru?"

Feeling a bit nervous, Hotaru smiling and answer Eleonora question.

"If… If you're okay, could you come to my school? I want to meet you, Leo."

The soft and sooting voice of Hotaru when saying that made Eleonora silent for a while until she respond it as Hotaru could heard a chuckle coming from Eleonora.

"Alright, I'll go there. Is there anything like a photo of your school entrance? I'll need it for a moment and if possible, go meet me in the entrance and if you want it, you can also go bring your friends too. I'll give you and your friends a little surprise."

Confused at what Eleonora said, Hotaru just nods her head and send the photo of her school entrance she already took with her friends and after doing that, she then politely excuse herself to Kazuho as she bring her friends with her, all of them curious and interested at Hotaru's friend from Tokyo though.

Of course she already ask the permission to leave the class for a moment, including the other girls, while Kazuho given the permission to all of them and immediately leave the classroom to headed towards the school entrance as Kazuho told them to not running in the hallway.

Kazuho who seeing the girls just snorted.

"Young girls… well, it's not like this school has strict rules or anything."

Leaving the classroom, the girls then arrived at their school entrance gate and they could see a beautiful and elegant woman who has bluish long braided ponytail hairstyle that even exceed her long and beautiful legs, similar with her blue sharp and gentle-looking eyes that can pierce any woman who has contact with her eyes.

Komari and Natsumi who see that immediately charmed by her, while Renge agaping as her eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity. Hotaru who seeing the woman just smile widely and the woman wave her hand to Hotaru which the black-haired girl replied as the woman walk closer toward Hotaru.

"Hey Hotaru, long time no see and you became more cute and beautiful even more."

Hotaru giggle and nods her head hearing her compliment.

"The same I could say to you, Leo. Ah, let me introduce you my friends. Everyone, this is Eleonora Pendragon, my friend from Tokyo."

Eleonora smiled at Hotaru's friends and she just ignore the fact that Hotaru just call her a friend, since she already know that they would be in shock if they know that they're in relationship as they're couple. Komari, whose face currently red, snapped back and realized what she do as she became embarrassed and spoke with nervous.

"A-A-Ah, nice to meet you, Pen-dora-gon..?"

Eleonora chuckled at how adorable and cute Komari trying to pronounce her family name.

"You can just call me Ellen, Leo, Elly, or Nora."

"Ah! Sorry for my mistake, Ellen-san. My name is Koshigaya Komari, I'm 13 years old."

"Oh. Then, you're the same age as me. Nice to meet you too, Komari-san."

"W-W-What…? The same… age…?"

Komari suddenly froze as she couldn't believe what she currently heard with her ears. Even Natsumi trying to comprehend the meaning of Eleonora's words, but then a few seconds later Natsumi went back to normal and introduce herself.

"Y-Yo, I'm Koshigaya Natsumi, nice to meet you!"

Natsumi felt nervous seeing someone that only a year older than her radiating a.d.u.l.t aura around her. Eleonora just nodded at Natsumi.

"Nice to meet you too, Natsumi-san. Ah, both of you are siblings?"

"…Yes. We are, but we also have our Nii-chan. He always enjoys time alone though."

"Is that so? And who are you?"

Eleonora said that as she crouching and trying to get the same height as Renge who lift her right hand and spoke with enthusiasm.

"Hello, Nora-nee! My name is Renge, Miyauchi Renge! But everyone call me Renchon! Nice to meet you, Nora-nee!"

"Humu. Nice to meet you too, Renge. You're so energetic, I like it."

She said that while giving Renge's hair a soft and gentle stroke, which made Renge seems pleased and okay with it. Although Renge always someone who is okay with almost everyone, it's still give Komari and Natsumi surprise that Renge isn't complaining at all and seems… tame.

After she felt it enough, Eleonora stopped stroking Renge's hair, which made Renge a bit sad.

"Nora-nee, can I ask more of it?"

"Maybe later, Renge. After all, I'll live in this village for a few days. Can I stay at your house for that, Hotaru?"

She looking at her black haired girlfriend as if she trying to ask for her permission, although Eleonora already get it from Hotaru's mother but she still ask it to her girlfriend. She don't want to made her angry if she didn't inform Hotaru about this.

Hotaru nods her head in agreement.

"Of course, Leo. You can and always will be."

Eleonora smiled happily at Hotaru who saying that and accidentally kissed Hotaru's cheek. Komari and Natsumi who witness that shocked, Renge just being innocent child as she just wears the same expression as she think it's normal for girls to kisses each other in the cheeks; since Renge interpret that as a form of affection between close friends, and Renge always did that to Kazuho or anyone close to her; wether they are boys or girls.

Hotaru who received the kiss from Eleonora just went red on her face, embarrassed by the sudden action of Eleonora.

"Thank you then, Hotaru. And oh, just a sec."

Eleonora said that as she heard her phone notification ring and taking out her phone, trying to opened the phone and it was a message from one of her girlfriend, Kuwayama Chiyuki. This got her attention as her eyebrow raised since she's a bit confused.

[Sender: Kuwayama Chiyuki]

[Leo-chan! Sorry to inform you like this, it seems we can't have a date this weeks since I apparently became busy with things in the store I part-time job of. So is it possible for our date in on Saturday or Sunday next month? If you're okay, please inform me immediately.]

Reading it made Eleonora confused but then she secretly send one of her Shikigami without anyone noticed to spy and protect Chiyuki. It's not like she's suspicious or doubt Chiyuki, but Chiyuki is someone who's naïve, kind, and easy to be fooled by many people; that's why she has to take extra care whenever regarding Chiyuki, Sonoka, or Hotaru. All of them basically naïve and kind-hearted people who can be easily fooled by people who noticed that.

After sending her reply, Eleonora sighing in relief and noticed that Hotaru looked at her curiously and confused after recovered from the small shock she got from Eleonora who kissed her cheeks. Hotaru won't make any complaint right now, but she will when both Hotaru and Eleonora in her house and room.

That's why Hotaru asked Eleonora.

"Leo, what's wrong…? Are you okay?"

Eleonora just wave her hand while smiling at Hotaru, to make the girl not worry about her.

"It's okay, nothing serious going on. Also, sorry for that sudden kiss, Hotaru. I just couldn't resist that."

Eleonora grinning while Hotaru pout. The scene of Eleonora and Hotaru seems flirting is received glares of jealously from Natsumi and Komari. They don't know why they felt like that, but they had the sudden urge of jealously whenever looking at those lovebirds fooling around in front of them.

"Hey-hey! What was that kiss earlier? Why you kiss Hotaru?"

Natsumi asked that, while Komari nodded in agreement.

"Y-Yes, Ellen-san, Hotaru. What was that earlier? W-W-W-Why you kiss Hotaru on the… c-c-cheeks?!"

Komari asked that while stutter and in shock again.

Without being embarrassed, Eleonora then answer it.

"Oh, we're couple. Isn't that right, Hotaru?"

"Yes. Leo is my girlfriend."

A moment of silent came and fill the atmosphere, while there are delays in their reaction.

…

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! B-Both of you are couple?!"

Eleonora and Hotaru nods their heads together in response of Natsumi and Komari. Renge just felt admiring Eleonora more and amazed by it. She also think Eleonora can be her role model and want to be like her someday.

"Ooooh! So you're papa and mama, Nora-nee, Hotarun?"

Being asked innocently like that, Hotaru felt her cheeks a bit warm and there's a blush of pink on it.

"U-Um… yes, Renge-chan. I think if you put it like that, Leo is papa and me is… mama?"

"That's right. Someday we will married and have a kid. It's not impossible with the current research in my place. It's going smoothly."

Komari and Natsumi lost their words when heard that, especially Natsumi's brain who cannot digest the information that Eleonora told to her, since she always dumb and it's a fact, also one of the reasons is because she has the mind of 12 years old girl; unlike Eleonora.

But then Hotaru coughing and trying to calm the situation as she trying to change the subject.

"Ahem. Well, we can put that aside right now and sorry your hide it from you, Natsumi-san, Komari-senpai, Renge-chan! I don't want to make anyone awkward if I saying that. And also… senpai? Komari-senpai…?"

Hotaru has confused face when seeing the current expression showed by Komari. She froze, didn't notice and heard that Hotaru called her, even Natsumi who froze too earlier just recovered and went back to normal and trying to call out her older sister, but her words didn't go through Komari's ears.

A few minutes later Komari then snapped back and went to normal as she glanced at around her and coughing up and trying to clear her throat after the shocking reveals about Hotaru that she didn't know about; she also felt really jealous that Hotaru surpass her again, but she didn't shows that.

Although Eleonora noticed it and went amused.

'So Komari-san is jealous of Hotaru, huh. Quite amusing.'

Thinking of that, Eleonora then trying to change the subject and asking all of them.

"Ah right. Is everyone knew about the dungeon in this village? I've heard of it from Hotaru and quite interested to check on it. Is any 'Awakened' already being called and take care of it?"

"Um… about that, Leo… some 'Awakened' who came is defeated and cannot taking care the dungeon. Everyone who witness that trying to call the government or guild again, hoping they would solve the problem as fast as possible."

"Ah… so it's like that, huh."

Hotaru, Komari, and Natsumi nodded at Eleonora. The long bluish-haired girl then smiled and snapping her finger as if she has a solution, although it may involving herself since it's actually not her problem to begin with and she didn't have the responsibility to taking care of the dungeon.

"How about I'm the one who taking care of it?"

Once again, a moment of silent came and fill the atmosphere, while there are delays in their reaction.

…

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"

Eleonora just smiled at them.

"You want to take care of dungeon?! Ellen-san, it's dangerous!"

"Yeah, what she said. We are just a normal human, unlike those 'Awakened' who has superpower. I preferly don't want to see Hotaru's girlfriend to get hurt. Isn't that right, Hotaru?"

"U-Um… Leo, are you sure about that? I think it's better if we call the authorities and the one who can handle it."

But Eleonora wave her hands to them as sign to not worried about her.

"No problem. Like I said, I'm going to give you a surprise, Hotaru. Didn't I told you that in the phone?"

Blinked, Hotaru remember that and look at Eleonora.

"Is-is that so…? Then what's surprise you told me earlier, Leo?"

Hotaru ask that with confused face as she slightly tilt her head in cute way and seeing that, Eleonora then lift up her palm and a medium-sized fire suddenly come out from there which surprising all of them as Eleonora just smiled.

"It's… magic."
