Work Text:
As the sun sets after a very normal day for the people of Labyrinth another successful meeting of the Redemptives is had. While nothing rather interesting occurred at this meeting besides Regina and Bibury once again teaming up to make Ira’s life a living hell.
Although that would soon not be the case for long a man with red hair approached a woman with light magenta hair. The woman was at the table the group gathered looking at some kinda paper but soon looked up at the red haired man with a smile. “Oh Phantom, hello.” She says politely as the man gives her a slight smile. “Hello to you as well, Sorcière. Do you mind if I sit with you?” He questions as she smiles. “Please do!” She says happily as he sits next to her as he looks at the map she has. “Is this a map of the Magical World?” He questions.
“Oh yes it is at least the area closest to the school. I was working out destinations for work. But sorry to have brought work with me.” She says as he shakes his head. “No need to be sorry. Although why do you have to pick destinations?” He questions. “Oh well I was working on good places to take my students. Liz Sensei has told me that a lot of the teachers at the academy make short trips for their students to get used to the flora or fauna of a particular area or even to learn spells in a more open and pleasant area than a classroom.” She says as he nods.
“That’s rather kind of you to be planning. To be honest I wouldn’t mind going to any place in your world. I have only been there when Setsuna picks me up before you. In the time I have it seems rather beautiful.” He says as Sorcière smiles. “It is a very pretty world although all the worlds that we come from have their own charm.” She says as he nods. “However, if you are interested..” She says as he gives her his attention. “I wanted to ask someone from the Redemptives if they would come with me to the Magical World and scout out the locations. I must speak with some of the heads of these places to get permission to visit as well as when I am to visit. So I figured I would make the journey less lonely by asking someone to visit them with me.” She says as Phantom nods and smiles. “I would love to see your world and accompany you to the locations.” He says. “Really oh thank you so much! I promise you will have a fun time.” She says rather enthusiastically as he nods and smiles. “I am sure that I will enjoy it with you.” He says.
As the two continue to talk though they don’t seem to notice a certain blonde haired girl listening in on their conversation at the other end of the table. As she is listening through a hand soon starts tapping on her head to get her attention. “Earth to Regina, are you there?” She hears as the girl turns to her friend. She has nice mint green hair and has an annoyed look on her face. “Oh sorry about that Bibury, whatcha say?” She questions. “Hmp it’s nothing. You're more worried about them it seems.” Bibury says as Regina giggles. “Maybe.” She says. “Let me guess you're gonna try to set them up again?” Bibury questions. “Hmmm maybe.” Regina says playfully as Bibury sighs.
“Well, count me out. I had enough fun last time when you made me help you try to get Ichika and Rio to confess. Which by the way, I am still waiting for you to pay for my dress that you got all that flower on.” She says with a glare as Regina innocently looks away. “Yeah I will get right on that..when I get my allowance from Papa.” She says as Bibury sighs. “But you really won’t help me?” Regina questions. “No. Romance just isn’t for me. If it’s messing with them like with Ira then you know I am all for that but if it’s love then nope, not anymore.” She says as Regina pouts.
“Aww common.” She says. “Nope I am not doing it. Maybe get one of your other friends too.” Bibury says as she stands up. “Anyway I gotta get going before Rio gets to winnie about us being out too late. See ya later.” She says as she leaves Regina alone as she sighs. Darn..if Bibury isn’t gonna help then I don’t have many people I can ask. Even Mana told me to stop trying to get people together, so she won’t help and the others are just as boring. Although..wait that’s it I know the perfect girl to help me, Regina thinks as she smirks knowing the perfect princess to help out.
That night
“Hello Regina, why are you calling? Did something happen with Phantom?” She hears as the other end rings. “Hey Hime, nothing is wrong but I got some juicy information.” She says as Hime sounds interested. “Go on?” She says. “So I heard tonight Phantom wants to go with Sorcière to the Magical World and I think this might be the perfect chance for..well you know.” She says as soon as she hears a squeal. “Oh yes!! Finally I can get him to stop being so awkward when talking about Sorcière! He really isn’t good with hiding his crush on her.” Hime says. “She isn’t very good either. So wanna play the role of cupid with me?” She says. “Heck ya! Let’s make a plan!” She says as the two girls giggle as they continue to talk for the rest of the night.
A few days later
As Phantom enters the Mirror Room, he is led in by Ribbon in place of Blue as the two seem to be talking. “So you are going to the Magical World. That should be fun. I hope you enjoy it.” She says as Phantom nods. “It should be nice although I wanted to just make sure again that the mirror room works with teleporting me to the Magical World.” He says. “Yes it should work especially thanks to some mirrors given to Blue by the mirror kingdom inhabitants. Although make sure to close the doorway with your orb. We can’t have any random person in the Magical World going through and ending up somewhere else.” Ribbon says as Phantom nods before taking out his crystal he received from Blue and going to the Mirror before entering it and disappearing. As he does Ribbon leaves the room and once he is out of sight two girls appear from behind a mirror. “Nice thinking to wait here until he came Hime.” Regina says as the two stand up.
“It’s no problem I figured when you said he didn’t talk to Setsuna that he would come here to go see Sorcière. I guess he didn’t even want her to know about their “date” to the Magical World.” Hime says as the two face the mirror. “What was that about the mirror kingdom though?” Regina questions. “Well after Blue Sama and Mirage San came back from fixing Red San’s planet, Blue Sama wanted to commission with them so that he could have mirrors that could transport us to any other kingdom in case of an emergency.” Hime says as they face the mirror.
“Sounds like we can have fun with that but let’s focus on our main mission.” She says as Hime nods as she takes out her orb from Blue as the mirror glows and the two enter. Soon after a bunch of colors fly by them they soon see they entered a rather quiet part of the town with few if any people around. As they did Regina looked around. “So this is the Magical World huh weird I thought the sky would be a different color.” Regina says. “Why did you think that?” Hime replies as she closes the portal. “I don’t know, I just thought this world would be all magical in every way.” She says as Hime finishes closing the portal.
“Well either way let's start looking. I think I checked and Mirai and Riko shouldn't be here today so we have no worries of being found out by anyone.” Hime says as Regina nods, smiling as the two begin to walk. As they do they soon see Phantom as he seems to be moving for the school. They follow as stealthy as they can, often hiding by looking in shops when he stops to look for where to go. Eventually though the two see him enter the school as a woman comes up to him. She seems to be around his age with long blueish purple hair wearing a green and white version of the school uniform with a light green skirt. “Hello Phantom San.” She says. “Hello Liz Sensei. It’s nice to see you again.” He says as she smiles.
“Likewise. I should be thanking you though for going with Sorcière. I wish I could but time is rather tight now for me to go with her.” She says. “It’s not a problem, in fact I think I should be thanking her for letting me see more of your world.” He says as the two walk off to go further into the school. As he does the two girls look on and nod as Hime takes out her device. “Mag, Mag, Magican! Time to change!” She says as she and even Regina soon appear in the red and white school uniform with hats included. “Wow, we look so cute like this.” Regina says. “Hehe of course. I am just glad that Mirai let me make a card of their school’s uniform. I thought it was just a cute outfit but now it serves a double purpose. Good thing I could give you the outfit too.” Hime says as Regina nods. “Now then shall we..” Hime says before the bell rings and suddenly the area is crowded with students. “Oh great now we gotta be really stealthy.” Regina says as Hime sighs as well as the two make their way into the school to find Phantom. Soon they spot him with Liz making his way to the classroom. As they follow though Regina soon knocks into someone as they turn a corner.
“Ouch..” Regina says as she soon picks herself up as she sees the girl on the ground. She wears the uniform of the school and also has blonde hair like her but with glasses and a pink bow in her hair. As she looks at Regina she blushes. “Oh my I am so sorry for bumping into you.” She says as she picks herself up and bows to Regina. “Hey it’s okay.” Hime says as she tries to keep her eyes on Phantom but he seems to be gone. “Emily what’s wrong?” The two girls hear as two more girls appear near the blonde girl. One had blue hair and the other had orange hair. “Oh sorry girls. I was trying to apologize to this girl who I bumped into.” Emily says as the one with blue hair looks at them. “Hey, I don't think I've seen ya around here before. Are you two new students?” The girl asks. “Oh well umm not really anyway let's go Hime.” Regina says as she grabs her blue haired friend and tries to walk away but the other blue haired girl stops them. “Hey wait a minute your hair and your name is Hime..wait are you that Pretty Cure friend of Riko?” She questions.
“Hey June, you know Riko told us not to mention Precure to anyone.” The orange haired girl says. “Wait, you guys know about Precure? Riko told you?” Hime questions. “I guess I was right then, Kay. Also yeah she did. She told us after they fought that giant evil monster and saved both our worlds.” June says. “So that means you are both Pretty Cures?” Kay says, sounding interested. “Oh well I am but my friend is not really.” Hime says as Regina grows. “I may not be a Pretty Cure but I am friends with them and part of the group that helps them out called the Redemptives.” She says smugly as Emily gasps.
“Wait like Sorcière Sensei?” She questions. “You guys know Sorcière?” Regina questions. “Course we do! We're her ace students!” June says with pride. “I mean we kinda are mostly in terms of magic. June isn’t really all that good with homework.” Kay says as June glares at her. “Wow, that's fortunate. Hey, do you know where she was just teaching?” Hime asks as they nod. “Of course. But while we take you there, tell us why you're wearing our uniform and pretending to be students.” June says as Hime and Regina nod as the now quatro of girls move through the halls and to a classroom nearby.
As they do they open it slightly to get a decent look only to see Phantom and Sorcière talking. “Wow you were right that guy did come to see Sorcière Sensei.” June says. “Hey wait, I think that’s the red haired stranger who we sometimes see outside the school!” Kay says as Emily gasps.
“You're right!” She says. “So he’s also in the Redemptive group with you and Sorcière Sensei?” June questions Regina. “Yep, the two of them are really close, that’s why we're here to finally have them confess.” Regina says. “Oh wow really that’s so romantic but is he good for Sorcière Sensei?” Kay questions. “Well just look at them you guys.” Hime says as they look at Sorcière and gasp. She is not only smiling a wide smile but seems super enthusiastic, something she rarely is. Meanwhile, Phantom gives her a nice smile as he seems to be listening to her every word attentively. As the three watch they all smile at the scene. “Wow those two must be in love.” Kay says. “They seem so lovely together.” Emily says. “Alright, count us in to help you get them together. Especially if it makes Sorcière Sensei this happy.” June says as Regina and Hime look then smile. “Of course! This is gonna be fun!” They say as they start to plan what to do.
“Be careful it’s a little difficult to get on at first.” Sorcière says as she helps Phantom on the magic carpet. “It’s fine but thank you.” He says blushing slightly as he takes her hand and sits on the carpet with her. “So where is our first destination?” He questions. “Well, I think we should start with the Mermaid Village. I believe some of my students visited during the previous semester and enjoyed it.” Sorcière says as Phantom smiles.
“Okay then let's go there shall we?” He questions as she nods as the two take off. As they do from the tree line, June is spying on them as she falls out of it and onto the ground perfectly. “Okay so there going to the Mermaid Village first so let's tail them on our brooms.” June says as the group nods even to Hime and Regina who had been given brooms by June and Emily since they had spares. As they take off though the difference in skill is pretty obvious for the two newbies.
“Wow this is amazing!” Regina says as she flies with little to no trouble, meanwhile Hime seems to be struggling. “Ahh help oh no I am gonna crash!” Hime says as she is about to hit the tree before both Kay and Emily save her. “Wow, surprised you're so good at it while Hime isn’t.” June says. “Well I have flown before with my own power but this broom isn’t too bad. Maybe I could’ve been a magician in a past life or maybe Marie Ange and umm you know what, never mind.” Regina says blushing at her still confused existence as June chuckles as the 5 girls fly off to catch up although Hime needs both Kay and Emily to balance her in case she starts to fall. While the trip is rather uneventful it soon ends with the girls in the middle of the ocean as they watch their friend / teacher going down into the water.
“Okay now that we have gotten here let’s cast a water breathing spell on us.” June says as the girls get out their wands while Hime gets out her own device. “Cure Up Rapapa, let us breathe underwater!” The magicians chant as they wave their wands meanwhile Hime takes out cards. “Mer mer mer mermaid! Time to change!” Hime says as her body changes to have an aqua marine colored tail with a yellow tail fin, with a yellow dress and seashell on her head. Regina’s body changes similarly to having a pinkish red colored tail with a black tail fin, with a black dress and seashell on her head. With their new found ability to breathe the girls go under the water as they begin to descend with their brooms and swim with their new fins respectively.
“This is so fun being a mermaid! I am like that girl from Mana’s storybook.” Regina says. “Definitely we look so cute!” Hime says as the magicians giggle. “You guys do look the part. I do admit Hime San, I am a little jealous of you for being able to transform with those cards. Doing that with our magic is very difficult unless you're a master magician.” Emily says as Hime blushes. “Awe it’s nothing really I mean you guys have actual magic that’s so cool too!” Hime says. “Yeah I agree I am a little jealous of you guys being able to use that kinda magic any time you want. I actually tried it once when I borrowed Sorcière’s wand.” Regina says. “Ohh wow that’s kinda dangerous what did you use magic to do?” Kay says as Regina smirks. “I used it to briefly turn Kiriya, Olivier, Rio, and especially Ira into girls so I could black mail them with the pictures. The spell only lasted for a minute but I quickly took the picture before they turned back. You should have seen the look on their faces.” Regina says as Hime giggles.
“I remember the picture you sent me and the other cures on the group chat. The look on Honoka San, Rikka San, Tsubomi San, Ichika San and Ciel San were priceless.” Hime said. “Wow she might've been a magician in a past life. Even for a minute doing a gender swap like that takes a lot of potential.” Emily says. “Given what she used it for I think the term witch would be a better description of her.” June says sarcastically. “To be honest she does kinda dress like it at times, well her and Bibury.” Hime says as the blonde grows. “Hey! We are not witches! So leave us unluckily typecasted pretty girls alone!” Regina says as she gives each of them glare, before the group begins to giggle a little at the blondes outburst Regina even getting in on the contagious laughter as the girls continue on. As they do Hime frowns a little.
“I just hope we don’t make anyone from the village uncomfortable with us transforming into mermaids.” Hime says as June smiles. “Naw, I think the mermaids in this village are super nice, especially our friends. Speaking of which, hey guys look I see them now!” June says as she and her three friends look to see three girls younger than them playing. The girls all had mermaid tails of different colors as well as similar tops to the one Hime wore. As they get closer the three look up and smile. “June, Emily, Kay!” They shout happily as they swim up to them hugging their friends. “Hey girls, how are you?” June asked. “Oh we’ve been great! We are still trying to learn to fly like the Mirai and Riko did. We are getting better thanks to Loretta Sensei though!” Dorothy says.
“Hey who are they?” Nancy says as the last one, Cissy moves to the girls and inspects them. “I haven’t seen them before.” She says as Hime and Regina blush at the girl looking at their new forms. “Well they are not really mermaids. They are actually a couple of friends of Mirai and Riko from the Mundane World. They have the power to use a kinda magic to transform into other forms.” June says as the girls look surprised as Hime shows off her and Regina’s card to them. “That’s so cool!” They all squeal with excitement as the two blush. “So does that mean your Pretty Cures like Mirai and Riko?” They question.
“Oh well I am and hey wait they told you to?!” Hime says as they nod. “I am gonna have to have a talk with them about not exposing your identity. Seriously, my team never had a problem with that. Why do so many other teams?” Hime says as Regina blushes. “Sorry about Mana she was kinda stupid then but at least only our city learned about it and they promised to keep it secret. Especially with Alice’s family helping out. Besides, didn't your team let Seji learn about your true identities?” Regina says as Hime blushes.
“Well um I guess we both have kinda dumb leaders.” Hime says as the two giggle. “So you are a cure but what about you miss?” Dorthy asked Regina as she smirks. “Well I am not a cure no, but I am an ally and dating one of them. I also happen to be a part of a group called the Redemptives which helps out the Pretty Cures with all their big end of the world problems.” Regina says very smugly as the trio of mermaids look amazed. “You guys only help us out one time though.” Hime says as June sighs. “Seesh she definitely isn’t playing her part well. No mermaid here would ever be this prideful and arrogant.” June says as Hime nods. “I agree I mean what mermaid would be so smug about themselves.” Hime says as she and the other giggle as Regina glares at them. As they do so Kay clears her throat to get their attention.
“Speaking of the Redemptives we did wanna ask, have you seen a girl with long magenta hair and a guy with short red hair fly here on a magic carpet?” Hime questions as the girls look and nod. “Yes we saw them heading to go talk to Loretta Sensei.” Dorthy said. “Yeah, the lady looks so beautiful! Her hair was magical and she had such a sweet look to her.” Nancy says. “Yeah and the guy was so handsome! But he also looked so strong and brave.” Crissy says.
“Hehe great cause one of them is our teacher, Sorcière Sensei. And the other is the man she has a crush on, Phantom San. We actually are following them to help set them up together.” June says. “Oh wow a real romance! That’s amazing!” The trio say. “Definitely but can you point us in the direction of them?” Emily says as the trio do so but as they do the girls notice a familiar duo leaving on the magic carpet towards the surface. “Oh no we took too long!!” June says as the girls get ready to leave. “Oh sorry to distract you but good luck guys!” The girls say as the quatro leaves them as they take off to the surface.
After getting back in the air and turning into their normal forms again for Regina and Hime, the quatro of girls follow the duo to a icey region. “Oh great and just when we leave the water. Now we're gonna get colds.” Hime says grumpy. “Actually don’t worry about that, we learned a spell to help us with that.” June says as she and the girls bring out their wands. “Cure Up Rapapa, make our body temperature warmer!” The magicians chant as they wave their wands as suddenly a heat emulates from their bodies along with Regina’s and Hime’s.
“Wow, so cool!” Hime says. “I think you mean hot.” June says as Regina sighs. “Boo that pun was bad.” Regina says as June glares at her a little as Kay and Emily sigh. After that the group continues to follow their brooms hanging far enough away to not be seen but still follow them. “It seems the two are heading for the area with the ice dragons.” Emily says as the girls gasp. “Why would Sorcière Sensei be going there?” Kay questions as they continue to follow as they do their magic heat starts to fade. “Oh no..” They say as they begin to feel the cold. “It seems our spell is fading.” Kay says.
“Damn we gotta cast the spell again but ohh man my hands are already getting cold.” June says. “Well how can we get warm now?” Regina questions. “Actually we could do that thing Mirai taught us?” Kay says. “Kay, that’s a great idea!” June says as the trio get into a circle with their backs toward each other. “Umm what will that do?” Regina questions. “We just do this again and again till we get warm. Oshikura Manju doesn’t cry when he gets shoved.” June says as the others repeat it with them going back and forth while staying together. “Where did you learn this?” Hime questioned.
“Oh from Mirai, she taught it to us when we first came here during one of our supplementary classes. At our magic level back then we couldn’t warm ourselves up with magic so we had to do this to get warm by doing this to properly cast our spell.” Emily says. “Yeah it was super helpful. It gave me the confidence I needed to not lose my wand or slip and fall.” Kay says. “Oh okay, sounds fun, why not try it Regina?” Hime questions as Regina nods. “Okay.” She says as the two get into the circle as they repeat what the girls said before. After a few minutes they smile as they have warmed up before casting their spell again as they once again take off.
“Wow, that was really fun! I gotta try it with Megumi and the others if we are ever cold in the winter. Or maybe just with Iona! It would be the perfect thing to do to get warm before snuggling together.” Hime says blushing thinking about it. “Yeah it was nice but I would much rather do it with Mana.” Regina says giggling. “Hey look, it's Phantom San and Sorcière Sensei!” Kay says as the group spots them on the ground walking to the dragons. “Hey, look what Phantom did.” Hime says as the girls look to see the man now in white button up as his coat now hangs on Sorcière. “Aww darn we missed the chance to see him do it! That’s a missed opportunity to push them to confess.” Regina says annoyed as Kay smiles.
“Still it’s nice to see he’s so kind to Sorcière Sensei. I wouldn’t mind if a boy did that for me.” Kay says as the girls sigh. “Save it for your romance books, okay, Kay.” June says as the girl blushes and nods while Regina giggles. As they fly closer they land on top of a hill frozen in ice as they see the two adults approach a dragon. “I wonder what they are gonna ask?” Emily questions as the girls watch. Before suddenly the dragon roars loudly as it glares at the two firing out an ice attack that nearly hits them but fortunately the two of them are able to dodge easily. As they do Phantom makes a sheath appear.
“Phantom San!” Sorcière calls out as the man looks to see the dragon take off into the air. “Help me freeze it in place then I can cut it!” He calls as the witch nods, bringing out her wands. “Cure Up Rapapa! Heart Lock!” She says as her headgear grows larger and splits into two flying off as it locks the dragon in place as Phantom jumps into the air.
“This will not hurt I promise you.” He says as he takes his sword out of the sheath as he makes quick motions as the dragon cries out as suddenly from its stomach a shard of shorts comes off it, multiple in fact all made of metal. As they fall to the ground Sorcière lets go of the dragon as it descends to the ground. “It seems it had metal debris embedded into its skin.” Phantom says as Sorcière nods, giving the dragon a soft head pat.
“You poor creature. I bet some Magicians brought metal and supplies and forgot to pick up after themselves. You probably got that metal embedded into your stomach while you slept.” She says as the creature nods and cries out happily to Sorcière before giving Phantom a similar look and hugging him. Naturally the former Pretty Cure hunter seems shocked by this but accepts albeit awkwardly. Meanwhile, Sorcière giggles. “I think he likes you.” She says playfully before she gives the dragon a serious look. “With that out of the way, Dragon San, we wished to ask if you would be comfortable with me and my students coming here for a field trip in the next few months. We wish to watch your kind in action and learn how you fly to better help us understand our broom riding.” She says as the dragon looks to her and nods. “Excellent thank you so much.” She says before the dragon hugs her as Phantom smirks. “I think he likes you too.” He says as Sorcière equally blushes as she accepts the hug.
Meanwhile at the top of the hill, the girls look at each other as they are still tense from seeing that. “I can’t believe that. Did you see Sorcière Sensei! She was so cool!” June fangirls as the others nod. “And Phantom San was cool too! Especially his sword skills.” Kay says as Hime nods. “Yeah he wasn't the Pretty Cure hunter at one point for nothing.” Hime says.
“What!” The trio reply as Hime and Regina blush. “Oh right we never said why he was a Redemptive. But trust me he’s not a bad guy anymore” Regina says as the girls look then nod. “Yes it would seem that way. He was so gentle and yet swift with the dragon.” Emily says. “And besides, Sorcière Sensei did try to kidnap all of you guys for your tears so I suppose it makes sense that you guys in the Redemptives would have done shady stuff that you are trying to be better about.” Kay says as Regina giggles. “Yep, that's what we are all about. We change to become better than we were in the past.” Regina says. “Some with little changes it seems ehh Regina.” June says jokingly as Regina blushes and starts fake punching June. “Hey! I am way better than I was! I am now very selfless!” Regina says as the girls all giggle as Hime soon notices something. “Umm guys they are taking off!” Hime yells as the girl stops only to see the carpet fade away into the distance. As they see that they get their brooms out and once again give chase.
As the girls did, they soon came across a giant flower-like grassland with a hole in the center that Sorcière and Phantom flew down. “Oh wow what's this place?” Regina questions. “Oh this it’s a pegasus habitat we visited during our supplementary classes.” Emily says. “A pegasus!” Hime shouts as the girls look at her only to see her with a massive smile on her face. “That’s like a horse but 50 times better! Oh I wonder if I could get Iona to come here and confess her love to me as we have a magical kiss while she rides a beautiful pegasus.” Hime says as the girl's sweet drop. “Really isn’t that a little too cheesy?” June comments before Regina equally swoons. “Oh just imagining Mana doing that to me would be so beautiful! We just gotta come here some other time!” Regina says as June sighs. “I guess not. Still we should focus on one romance at a time okay.” June says.
“Okay!” The girls say as they start to descend down into the area inside the flower island. Inside they see a gorgeous world with sparkling crystal waters, large tree life and strange creatures neither Hime or Regina have ever seen before. “Wow this place is so beautiful.” The girls exclaimed as the Magicians smirked. “Yeah we thought so too when we first came here. Now it’s kinda normal. We come here sometime with Mirai and Riko for picnics.” Kay says. “Oh yeah this place would be perfect for that.” Hime says as they keep looking. “Still can’t believe you can hang with them when they are always so flirty and lovey dovey.” Regina says as Emily giggles. “I find they are less so with us. Probably due to Riko getting flustered and annoyed when Mirai does it in public.” Emily says. “Yeah Riko gets that way as well during our meetups. One time she even stayed with Ellen the whole time just so Mirai wouldn’t flirt with her.” Hime says.
“Oh I remember that. Yeah Ellen said she felt like she was Riko’s girlfriend that day with how close Riko was to her and that it was a little awkward for her. Although she did say she taught Riko the violin and she enjoyed that.” Regina says. “Oh yeah I remember her mentioning that she loved the Violin especially that name saying she would wanna rename Ha Chan, Viola but Mirai got mad at her for it.” Kay says. “I think it was mostly a joke though but yeah they aren't too bad when they are with us. Still doesn’t mean I won’t make jokes about it to get a rise out of Riko.” June says as Regina giggles. “Nice I do the same with my little sister, Agri and her friend Eru. Those two really are way too close to be just friends but she denies it saying she’s too young for romance.” Regina says as Hime chuckles. “Yeah but that doesn't stop Ako from liking Souta.” Hime says as Regina giggles. “True true although maybe next time we can try to get them together.” Regina says as Kay giggles.
“You really do like romance huh Regina?” Kay questions. “Oh yes I do. I mean I am the girlfriend of Cure Heart after all so I want everyone to be happy and lucky like we are together. As such I want to help make people confess their feelings and know they shouldn’t hide it. People should be more honest with their feelings, it will help them to be happier like me and Mana.” Regina says as the trio of Magicians all smile at her. “You know you're kinder than you look, Regina.” June says as Regina smirks. “Of course I am, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover after all.” Regina says as all the girls chuckle. “Anyway getting back to the reason we are here, where do you think Phantom and Sorcière are going?” Hime questions. “Hmm, given what she knows from our teachers, maybe she knows about the giant flower and wants to ask permission about bringing everyone here without surprising the animals.” Emily says as Hime looks shocked.
“A giant flower huh. I wonder what it smells like.” Hime says as Kay soon giggles a little ominously. “Oh I can tell you.” She says as both Regina and Hime look to the orange haired girl only to be confused by the sinister look on her face. “It has a very sweet smell which lures in all the creatures from the forest to it.” Kay says as Regina and Hime feel an odd sense of tension. “But once the flower does so the helpless animals are parlyzed by it and then..” Kay says as she giggles creepily again as Regina and Hime feel more fear than before. “THE PLANT SNAPS SHUT AND SWALLOWS THEM WHOLE!” She yells as both girls look shocked by it holding each other as the red haired girl cackles like a witch. “Jezz Kay, when are you gonna learn not to say that when you come here? Look at Hime, Regina and poor Emily.” June says as the three were holding one another in fear.
“If it’s that dangerous then I can use my spear on it.” Regina says getting some confidence back. “Oh no you shouldn’t do that. Kay makes this story up everytime we visit. In reality it’s a good flower that has a very sweet scent to it.” June says. “It doesn't stop it from being scary though.” Emily says as she cuddles to Hime who equally still looks scared. “Sorry about that. I wanna be a journalist or a writer someday so I often write scary stories about places I have been to.” Kay says as the girls sigh and keep moving. Eventually they fly down a hole to a mine like area as they do three of the girls hear a familiar neigh as a pegasus come rushing towards them.
“WOW!” Regina and Hime say as they levitate with their brooms but the girls go down and hug the creature. “Hey there Tourma Chan, how are you?” Kay says as the creature nears as Emily pets the creature's fur. “So soft.” She says as June looks up at the girls. “Oh hey guys don’t worry Tourma Chan is a good pegasus.” June says as they float down and approach as Hime touches her mane. “Emily is right it’s so soft!” Hime says as Regina smiles at it. “So this is the one you had to take a picture of right?” Hime questions. “Yep she was actually saved by Mirai and Riko when that spider lady attacked. Now she always greets up when we come here for our picnics. We even gave her a name because of it.” June says. “Her name is based on the Pink Tourmaline which was one of the Linkle Stones Mirai and Riko found when fighting the spider lady.” Emily says as the girls smile at it Regina even petting it. “It’s so cute! and also the perfect size for Mana to ride.” Regina says. “Oh yeah Tourma loves it when we ride on their back. Although Miria is the only one who can stay on for long cause of how fast it can fly.” June says. “Hey wait a minute.” Hime says as the others look at her. “I got the perfect plan to use that to our advantage for Phantom and Sorcière confession!” Hime says as she smirks as the girls seem all open ears.
Meanwhile with the two adults
“Wow this place is truly beautiful.” Phantom says as the two enter the large field inside the cave. The grass was a beautiful shade of green and flowers were all different shades of pinks. As they enter, Sorcière smiles as she knelt down and picks one. “I know it’s a place I am glad Liz San brought me to when she was showing me around.” She says as she smiles at the flower as Phantom blushes a little at the cuteness. “S..so you said you wanted to ask someone if it was okay to come here with your students..right?” He questions as the woman looks up and nods.
“Oh right, we should be able to see them any minute now.” She says before they hear a neigh as a pegasus appears in the air and flies to them landing gently as Sorcière touches its mane. “Hello there.” She says as the creature neighs before looking at Phantom with curiosity. “Oh him he’s my friend, Phantom. He’s here to help me scout out this place for a field trip. But before I did I wanted to come and ask if that was okay?” she questions as the creature is silent before neighing in delight.
“That’s excellent.” Phantom says as he smiles softly at the creature before the creature looked at him and gave a soft neigh as it approached allowing him to pet it. At first the man looked hesitant but his fellow Redemptive gave him a kind look and nod as he put his hand on the creature's head and petted it as gently as he could. As he did his apprehensive expression soon changed as he gave a smile at the creature admiring its soft fur. That was before the group were caught off guard by the flapping of wings before Phantom was soon knocked into the air and into a wall by..another pegasus? As he collided he puffed into dust reverting into his Phan Phan form as Sorcière rushed over looking worried.
“Phan Phan are you okay?” She screams out of fear as the fairy looks up at her looking kinda dizzy but otherwise fine. “I’m okay..except ouch..” He says as he brings his small hands to his head as a small wound from the hitting of the wall has appeared on his head as well as slight brushing. As she sees this the lady nods to herself. “Cure Up Rapapa, Bandages appear!” She says as from a puff appeared a long string of bandages as she went to work wrapping it around the wound as it formed a white shape around his forehead matching with parts of his fur. As she does so though the fairy blushes although doesn’t say anything. “There this should be enough to stop it from getting infected or for the wound to open. Fortunately you took the hit with your human body so you were tough enough to not cause the wound to open.” She says as the fairy nods still silent. “Are you hurt anywhere else?” She questions as the fairy shakes his head but still doesn’t respond but she still smiles before turning to the loud noises she was hearing only to see the larger pegasus scolding its younger one.
“Seems it was the mother’s child who got you. She was probably excited to see someone new and got to ambitious or forget it’s size.” She remarks as the fairy sits up to see his attacker and blushes even more as he sighs. “Can you speak?” She asks worriedly as the fairy nods and sighs again. “Yes I can..sorry.” He says as the woman gives him a confused look. “About what?” She questions. “For being off my guard. If that had been an actual threat I could’ve been hurt way more and you could've been equally hurt especially by running for me and not engaging the threat.” He says as the woman nods before giving a soft smile. “But nothing happened, did it?” She questions as he nods. “Then there is nothing to be sorry about. Remember what Setsuna San always says. If we Redemptives feel too sorry about ourselves and things we have done, we lose our ability to move forward.” She says as the fairy looks up at her as she gives a smile as he returns it.
“Your right..thank you Sorcière San.” He says as he transforms into his human form as the dizziness fades. “Neigh.” The two adults hear as the young pegasus and their mother move to them especially Phantom as the younger looks at him sadly. “It seems she is apologizing for bumping into you like that.” Sorcière says as the man nods and gets on the creature's level. “I accept your apology but please in the future have more tack especially when Sorcière’s students arrive at this place. Most of those children would be far more injured than I am from that little stunt.” He says as the creature nods as he reaches a hand out and pets the creature as it looks surprised before letting him do so happily. As he does, Sorcière and the mother look at each other and smile although as she does Sorcière’s heart beat increases slightly as she slightly blushes at Phantom’s kind side.
Meanwhile,
“You’ve got to be kidding me! He really did get more calm if that pegasus could knock him away like that! Now he got injured.” Hime says as she is annoyed at her plan's failure and the injury of her friend. “Hey I have scene Phantom getting hit by worse when we had to eliminate some of that Northra Person’s experiments. He should be fine.” Regina says reassuringly as Hime sighs.
“That’s not what I am afraid of. I am afraid of how Yukko will react. She always gets worried when he is injured and it always starts fights.” Hime says. “Oh trust me I know. For some reason all of the boys in the Redmeptives always get injured and make their girlfriends worry. Kiriya does it with Honoka, Olivier does it with Tsubomi, Ira does it a lot with Rikka, heck even Rio seems to do it alot with Ichika and Ciel.” Regina says as Hime nods. “I wish they would be less stupid about these things.” She says before turning to her magician friends as they watch the rest of the conversation between the two as they blush.
“Oh my Sorcière Sensei is really good at taking care of injuries. I think she is faster than Liz Sensei.” Emily says as the two nod. “Besides, guys look at the blush on both of their faces. I am sure these helped way better than your other plan would have.” June says as the two watch the scene before them as Hime nods. “I guess it worked out.” She says as they wait to see Phantom and Sorcière leave before they take off as well giving small waves to their pegasus friend as they travel to the last destination.
As they flew the quatro soon saw they were in a forest with high amounts of trees but also large rocky pillars all around. As they did they found it hard to fly around them so they landed and began walking hoping to find the two in this forest although Emily was particularly becoming scared due to them being in an unknown area as none of them had seen this forest before.
“Guys..I am scared of this place, maybe we should go back?” Emily questioned as the group stopped. Everyone did look a little concerned, even Regina and Hime, until June came up with a plan. “I have a plan.” June says as she pulls up her uniforms hood as suddenly she vanished as Regina and Hime looked shocked. “What!” They shouted as the other two Magical Academy students nodded and did the same. “Umm what's going on?” Regina questions as June appears again once her hood was placed down. “Oh sorry our uniforms have the power to go invisible with our cloaks on. That way no one can attack us since they can’t see us.” June says as Regina and Hime had a surprised look and then nodded to each other as she and Hime once again donned the uniform and were now invisible as well except they could make out with one another. “This is so cool. I gotta get one for myself.” Regina says as June sighs.
“I don’t think you should after all you’d just use it for pranks.” She says as Regina huffs as the other giggles before Regina and June go into it as well. As they finished they soon were back to walking and soon came across a clearing where they found their targets as they saw both just standing in a clearing. But as they got closer they noticed a third individual with them that was a small black bear with a red scarf. As they did June quited the others as they watched on.
“Phantom, I would like to introduce you to Kumata. Kumata, this is Phantom.” Sorcière says as the two nod to each other bowing politely. “It’s nice to meet you.” Phantom says. “Likewise, although I do wish to ask who you are?” He questions. “Well I am a friend of Sorcière from the Redemptives.” He says as Kumta looks and nods. “I see. It’s nice to meet another fellow Redemptive besides Sorcière and Setsuna.” Kumata says as Phantom looks shocked. “Wait, you are as well?” He questions. “I am. But I choose not to come to meetings. I prefer the forest and rarely like to go to places outside it. No offense to you or the others though.” He says as Phantom nods. “I understand. I was like that at one time as well but now I am more of a regular to the group.” He says as he looks at Sorcière as he blushes a little but the witch doesn’t notice. Kumata does and nods, giving him a small smirk.
"Either way, what brings you here today? Is everything okay?” Kumata questions Sorcière. “No, nothing is wrong. I just wished to come and ask for permission to visit here. You see I am working on something with my students where we will travel the magical world and since your forest is both such a beautiful location and also because of its wealth of magic elements I thought it would be a perfect place to learn to use elemental magic such as turning water to ice for quick travel or fire to make campfires easier.” She says as the bear looks and nods.
“That would make sense. As for the permission I would like to give you my own as I don’t see any problem in it. But the others might need some convincing. Let me call them out.” He says as he makes a bunch of call like noises as suddenly a whole army’s worth of light brown to dark brown bears appear all in different shapes and sizes. As they do they look at Phantom and Sorcière with curiosity and confusion as Kumata looks at them. “Everyone these two are people like myself who wish to bring some magicians into the forest to learn from this forest’s natural magic environment.” He says as the bears look as Sorcière smiles at them.
“I am a friend of Kumata, my name is Sorcière and I wish to ask for permission to come here with my students. I understand besides Mirai, Riko, and Kotoha you do not have many magicians visiting here but I wished to ask for permission. I swear to you nothing will happen.” She says as the bears whisper amongst themselves as they whisper to Kumata as he smiles at the two. “We have come to the decision to trust you and allow you permission.” He says as Sorcière smiles and gives everyone a bow.
“Thank you all.” She says as Phantom smiles as well. “Although they also asked me if you were the singer I mentioned and when I told them that…” He says as the two look at the bear who seems bashful to ask. “They wished to ask if they could hear you sing?” He says as the woman looks shocked as well as Phantom as she blushes. “Well I mean I won’t say no but I do have to say I haven’t sung in awhile. Although Ellen and Towa wished for me during some of their events. So this would be good practice but Phantom..” She says as the man looks at her as she blushes a little.
“I would like to ask if you could back me up on the chorus. Usually I have Mirai and Riko or both Ellen and Towa for it but I think you could do it well. Especially since you know the lyrics by heart from coming to some of the practices I had with the others.” She says as the man blushes slightly. “I can..but I should say I am not that good at singing as you or the others.” He says. “I am sure you can do it well.” She says as he blushes and nods. Sorcière creates a small tree trunk to stand on as the bears gather around as Phantom stands next to her. She then hums in her head as she gives him a look as he nods and she breathes in as all sound stops from the bears as she begins.
“Closing your eyes tightly shows a forest of dreams.” She sings as she closes her eyes. “If you’re ever lost in the shadows of the thorns always know that this hand is here to guide the way. Even if a dark fiend is chasing after you, do not be afraid of it as I am here for you.” She sings as she stops as she looks at Phantom as he nods as the two take a breath and then continue. “The song is magic!” The two sing as the crowd of bears cheer as Sorcière shakes back and forth as Phantom smiles as well. “Within the words and the melody, the magic of love and courage are hidden within.” She sings. “And if we join the same Rhythm too.” Sorcière sings as Phantom sings as well. “Our heartbeats will blend together.” Phantom sings as the crowd cheers as Sorcière smirks. “And melt to become one.” Sorcière sings as Phantom and her nod again gets in sync. “The song is magic!” She sings as magic is said again by Phantom. “So whenever you are feeling really worried.” Phantom sings as Sorcière continues. “Just always know that this song will be sung.” She sings. “You will never have to feel alone again.” He sings as she smiles. “When someone is singing to you!” She sings. “The song is magic!!” The two sing as Sorcière takes the front again. “If you’re ever lost in the shadows of the thorns always know that this hand is here to guide the way.” Sorcière sings as Phantom adds background noise to the song. “The song will come following through you!” Phantom sings as everyone cheers at his energy. “If we sing in total harmony then, a magical power will be born!” The two sing in perfect harmony as they smile at each other. “The song is magic! The best magic ever known!” Both Sorcière and Phantom sing one last time as they finish as the crowd of bears cheers for them. As they do the two look at each other and smile happily at one another.
Meanwhile with Hime and the others they are speechless but Regina smirks. “Ha, I knew he was good at singing. Wait till I tell the others.” Regina says as June, Emily, and Kay just look at their teacher with very impressed looks.
“She has the voice of an angel.” Emily says. “I know right. How come she never does that in class.” Kay says. “If she did, I think I would get better grades because I would never forget a word she sings.” June says as the others nod as Hime starts to make noises as the others look at her only to see she’s blushing madly. “We..we can’t top that. There is no way in hell we can give them a more romantic moment like that!” Hime yells as others look before nodding.
“You know you're not wrong.” June says. “But it has been nice to watch them get along with each other.” Emily says as Kay and even Regina nod. “It’s frustrating though because tell me I am wrong and they are not in love with each other. You can’t! But they always deny it!” Regina yells as Hime puts a hand on her shoulder. “Maybe they will someday. Today has shown they do love each other though.” Hime says as Regina sighs. “I guess.” Regina says as the group watches the two as they are praised by the bears before they once again begin their trip back to the main town as the girls all fly back as well.
As they do they reach the dorms of the school as both Phantom and Sorcière land nearby. As they do the girls hide in the bushes and listen in as the moonlight shines on the green fields around them. “Thank you so much for today Phantom, I hope you enjoyed the trip.” Sorcière says as the man nods. “Of course, I had a fun time getting to see your world. It’s honestly such a beautiful place and I hope to see more as I continue coming here with you and the others.” He says. “I agree but I mostly enjoyed today because of you.” She says as she blushes a little as the man does so too. “I feel the same.” He says as an awkward silence breaks out as he looks to the ground before looking her in the eyes. “Sorcière..” Phantom says as the girl looks at him.
“I..I have a confession to make.” He says as he is visibly blushing but tries to hide it. As he does the women’s face turns slightly pink. “What is it?” She questions. “Well it’s just we have only been friends with each other for the past few months but in that short time..I feel happy whenever I am with you. Don’t get me wrong I feel that way with the others but with you I feel happier. You are such a sweet woman and a very intelligent and capable one at that. Despite your past you have been able to progress so much. If anything I am a bit envious at how well you can adapt to change. At the same time it’s one of the many things..I like about you.” He says. “Phantom..” She says almost speechless. “I like so much about you..from your kindness, to your intelligence, to your skill at magic, to even your positive energy. All of that is great but today..I think I finally know what I truly feel for you. After all the exploring, meeting of people, and getting to spend the whole day with you..I want to do it more. So Sorcière..I want to say I love you.” He says as the witch is silent but her face is a mix of emotions from joy to embarrassment to even shock and amazement. Eventually though she begins to tear up as Phantom’s heart starts to beat faster. “Oh my I am sorry. If I said something..” He starts before Sorcière hugs him as the man is shocked but soon accepts it.
“Oh..Phantom..” She says crying still but words finally come out of her mouth. “I love you too.” She says as the man blushes. “I have for a while now..ever since I joined the Redmeptives you have been my rock. Someone I know I can talk to..someone who did talk to me about joining and helped me to get rid of the shadow that was haunting me. Whenever I am with you my past is not..whenever I am with you I feel warm, safe, and loved. You're like my knight against anything that could hurt me. I feel we could take on the strongest enemies in our past and win because I know with you by my side I can win. It’s a little melodramatic but the lyrics of my song, I think I understand them better now. Because I never feel alone with you and especially never feel alone when we sang together today.” She says as the two look at each other both blushing but smiling happily. “Although..I don’t know what to do now. Are we dating?” She questioned. “I am not the most experienced person when it comes to romance but I would say if you want to we can.” Phantom says. “I would like that..also to do this.” She says as she stands on her tippy toes as she locks lips with Phantom as the two kiss under the moons glow and shine, perfectly illuminating their newfound relationship. That is until after a few seconds they break for air as the two blush. “Sorry! I was probably too forward!” She says worried as Phantom shakes his head. “No you were not. Sorry if I was too forceful with my kiss. I have never kissed someone before.” He says as both giggle a little. “I guess we are perfect for each other after all?” She questions. “I suppose we are. It feels nice to have admitted my feelings for you.” Phantom says. “Likewise. Would you like to come in for some tea?” She asks as he nods as the two smile at each other happily as they enter her dorm.
Meanwhile, with Hime and the girls they all had hands on each other's mouths to prevent squealing until the two went inside for tea. Once they did the girls all squealed loudly but not too loudly thanks to a quick spell by Kay. “THANK GOD IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!” Regina yells the loudest but the other yells something akin to that. “I am so happy for Sorcière Sensei!!” Kay says as Emily nods. “I am really happy, especially for Phantom!” Hime says. “Although I hope Phantom and her don’t go any further than what they did tonight.” June says as the girls pause before blushing as they realize her meaning. “JUNE!” The girls yell as the blue haired girl playful sticks out her tongue. “That disturbing thought out of my head why don’t we head down to the town and have a nice treat! I hear they have a new ice cream stand down there.” Kay says as the girls look excited. “Oh yeah!” They yell happily. Once down at the ice cream stand the girls begin to enjoy their dairy treat as they talk. “Oh I can’t wait till I tell Megumi and the others about what happened! Yukko’s gonna be so happy!” Hime says as June sighs.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t tell anyone you were doing this so won’t they be mad at you?” June questions as Hime blushes. “Oh right well I mean I can wait till he tells us.” Hime says. “At least I can tell Bibury, I was right and she was wrong. Although speaking of her, maybe I could bring her here sometime.” Regina says as the girls look at her. “Why’s that?” Kay questions. “Oh well cause she wanted to see what kinda deserts your world has to offer.” Regina says. “Oh wait, on that note do you guys have magic dry cleaners here? Maybe I could kill two birds with one stone and have them clean it for me.” Regina says. “Hate to break it to you but the currency here is different from Mundane World and from what Mirai says it’s more expensive here than her world in terms of how much it cost.” June says.
“Awww damn it.” Regina says pouting. “Maybe if you’re nice, I'll be a good friend and help you to do it by hand.” June says as Regina gaps with joy. “Really you’d do that for me. Also wait, are we really friends?” She questions. “Course we are. I mean we did spend the whole day together and you two are pretty cool when your not acting dumb.” June says. “The same is true with me and Emily.” Kay says as Emily nods. “Wow, that's so great!” Hime says happily as she hugs everyone including Regina. “Wow Hime you're letting your Megumi show aren’t ya?” Regina questions as Hime blushes but soon the group starts to laugh it off as they enjoy the rest of their night together.
Meanwhile, Phantom and Sorcière sit in Sorcière’s dorm as they drink tea, happily enjoying their time together as a newly developed couple all the while enjoying the sight of the magical skies of the Magical World. Yes it would seem today marks not just a beautiful new relationship but also a beautiful new friendship as well but after all that’s what happens when people lovingly spend time together.
