Like that, we were given free scholarships for the Academy… Which we already planned to go to, but that it seemed to be extremely expensive, and we didn't even knew if we could bring the rest of our friends because it seemed quite racially strict.

But if it was one made by the King himself, I really doubt the Academy can do much about it, they'll have to simply accept it, the most prestigious or not. 

I guess we'll be going to this academy once Aquarina's done with her training. Though I don't know what I will even do while waiting for her return…

Maybe going through my own little training adventure wouldn't be so bad. I'll have to talk with mom about it, perhaps something big could come out of it.

Nonetheless, after the entire party was done, we moved to the rooms in the castle, where we immediately went to sleep as soundly as we could, we were very tired, it has been a long day.

This time, I didn't had any weirdly lewd dreams, thankfully… Or not.

And once the morning's sunlight emerged across the finely decorated glass windows, I slowly opened my eyes, stretching my arms.

"Well, yesterday sure felt long, good morning Sylphy." Alice said, speaking at long last.

"You've been awfully mute lately.." I said while squinting my eyes.

"Sorry, I just didn't wanted to bother you. Things were becoming more important, and a Spirit like me butting in wasn't fitting, right?" Alice giggled.

"Huh? Is that so?" I wondered, raising an eyebrow.

"A-And I'm not really that good at speaking with other people…" Her body made of light floated around, then resting over the bed. "Sorry… I guess I haven't gotten that good at speaking with others as I thought. The other Spirits and your Familiars are easy to deal with but everything else… feels rather hard."

"Well, it's fine, not all of us are as charismatic as I am." Ignatius materialized at my side, sitting over the bed too. "Hence why you should had let me speak to the public! Why didn't you let me even speak a word with the King?!"

"Because you don't have anything to do with them! And you're such a troublemaker that I bet you would had enraged others." I crossed my arms, reprimanding him.

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about, I am a perfectly ethical and incredible person myself." He said while fending ignorance to his shortcomings.

"Even after all these years you're still a stubborn egg." Alice laughed, petting his dragon head. "Though you've surely softened a lot. Remember when he used to roar and fight back all the time?"

"Yeah… I don't know what to say regarding that." I laughed. "He was quite angry…"

"Not like I have much of an option now!" He complained. "I've given the chance for a second life now, so I better stop fighting over nothing…"

"How rare to see this dragon be honest for once." Suddenly, a crow appeared from the window and landed inside, quickly turning into a white-colored cat. 

"Oh, Furoh! How was the trip?" I asked him.

All my Spirits and Familiars were usually free and could go anywhere they wanted. However the Spirits were more restricted because they needed my Mana to work properly, and if they get annoying, I usually put them inside the Soul Scape for a while.

Though most of the time, they go on their own accord. And as of Familiars, they too, can go anywhere as long as they have… well, the intelligence to take care of themselves. Furoh and Nephilim are quite free, and go anywhere they want, but usually stick with me.

Furoh had said he wanted to check the capital so he set off for the entire night after the party, where he had stealthily participated as a young elf boy he had copied from outside the capital, using the opportunity to eat a lot of food, interact with people, and so on.

My other Familiars such as Scarlet, Sapphire, Glutton, or Violet are… Well, they're rather unique. They're still attached to me as if they were my equipment and items and prefer to stay close to me if possible.

Even if Scarlet and Sapphire can speak, they're quite childish, so its better if they stick around instead of going on their own too! And let's not even talk about Glutton and Violet, who can't even talk and are very much baby-like, exceptionally with Glutton, he's like a puppy.

"BARF! BARF!" Glutton greeted Furoh while licking his face.

"I can't believe you're a mimic like me, little Glutton, you're very different!" Laughed Furoh, suddenly shapeshifting and mimicking his appearance.

"BAARF?! WAAGH…" Glutton was shocked to see his equal!

"Well it depends in the kind. Glutton is also not exactly… The same as you, he's more like a monster mimic than a demon mimic, very different." Beelzebub appeared, yawning a bit. "He's also quite unnatural because he used to be an inert item and was given life and a soul thanks to Sylph's powers…"

As he appeared, we all looked at him with teasing smiles.

"W-What? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked angrily.

"Hehehe, I'm lookin'." Naturia giggled, appearing and sitting by my side, she was still the size of a four-year-old kid, with a humanoid shape, resembling a girl made of wood, branches, leaves and flowers. 

"Well, aren't you happy?" Ignatius smiled as he asked that question.

"Happy for what? What are you on about?" Beelzebub was really confused or was pretending to be confused.

"You know what." Alice laughed. "Don't try to act like you don't know…"

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Beelzebub was losing his mind.

"That the demons are being accepted more now! And that soon, everyone might see them in a completely different light!" I said, sighing. "Geez you're really stubborn! Also the demons are going to the academy! The freaking academy! Isn't that amazing? If they do well and gain even more fame… Won't things change even more? Aren't you happy, big bug?"

"W-Why should I care about them?!" He suddenly groaned, seemingly embarrassed. "Though… well, I guess I'm… yeah, I guess it's alright. Thanks for helping us Demons, even after everything, Sylphy."

"Heh, don't even think about it." I smiled back.

Like that, a new day started.
