And Much More

Before Kallen Can answer the masked Fox smacks the Lion on the back of his head.

"Dammit Fox, why!"

"You need to explain things properly you dumbass. I'm getting tired of smacking you." The fox says while crossing their arms. From the way their voice sounds, Kallen and the others figure the Fox is female.

"Fine, but if you getting tired of it then stop." The Lion replies making the Fox scoff.

"I said I was tired of it, but I still enjoy it."

"Of course you do. Anyway Kallen, let's go somewhere private to talk. We need to chat about the spider Dungeon the kiddos visited today." The Lion says causing Kallen to look at him, shocked and nervous.

"How do you know about that?" Kallen asks. Before the masked Lion can answer Liz steps forward.

"Are you really Larion? Your mana circuits are the same as a humans." She says causing the others to look at him.

"Ah, another Sensor." The Fox says looking at her.

"Another? Your mana circuits are human too, I'd know if you were a Sensor."

"Normally yes, but a good number of years ago I got the Stigma of The Fool. Then I Soul-Linked with this dumbass." She says pointing to the Lion.

"Before you ask, I have the Stigma of The Dragon so hers doesn't effect me." The Lion says.

"That's bull. Larion is capable of destroying armies if rumor is to be believed. There's no way you can do that without magic." Liz says putting her arms out to the side, in a mocking manner. Suddenly she feels something pressing down gently on her head and turns around. She sees the masked Lion behind her and feels her heart stop with fear. In all her life Liz has never been snuck up on. This is thanks to her Sensor abilities. She always could see the mana react before a spell could even start to be cast but this was the first time she couldn't rely on the mana to tell her where he was. The next moment the Lion is back by the Fox and Liz slowly turns back around. She mutters and apology before stepping back.

"Okay." Kallen says with a sigh. "Let's go chat."

"Oh yeah, I need you to take me to Eric as well. I know he's ****." The lion says. Kallen's about to say no when he remembers that the fox is a Sensor. That and the Lions speed would mean that they could easily find and get Eric before he could make it even halfway to him.

"I'll have my people bring him, but I'll need a reason." The Lion nods and the seven of them return to the meeting room. Once inside Kagiyama chuckles after sitting.

"For the first time since we got this place the chairs are all almost all full." He says trying to lighten the mood.

"This is tense." The Lion says making the Fox hit him again. "Dammit Fox!"

"I told you to knock, you're the one who **** your way in. Stupid old man." Before the Lion can reply Sugano takes over.

"So why did you want to see Eric?" She asks him.

"Because that idiot is doing something stupid. As usual." The Lion replies nonchalantly.

"Do you know him?" She continues.

"You could say that. But I doubt these are the questions you want me to answer, are they?"

"No, but we'll get to those later. So why do you want to see Eric? And how is he doing something stupid if he's ****?"

"To help him and if I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

"Okay, then why are you here? Just to help Eric or any other reason."

"Just that." The Lion says causing the others to go silent.

"Does Eric know you?" Kallen asks.

"Yes, but he doesn't know I'm Larion."

"Okay, is there anything else you want to say?" Liz asks and he shakes his head no.

"Y'know you'll have to tell Eric all this right? And he'll probably tell them. Especially if he succeeds." The Fox says causing the Lion to sigh.

"Okay, fine." The Lion says before looking up. "What do you want to know."

"Why are the Devils attacking your guild? And why are they empty?" Kallen asks.

"And do you know why they wanted to capture Eric alive?" Hino asks before Larion can answer.

"Okay, the Devils are attacking my guild because they don't want us interfering with their plan. I honestly don't know what all of it is, only part of it. My guilds bases are empty because I knew the Devil were going to come after them when they found Eric. So as soon as his magic came back I initiated the plan I'd been preparing for the past six years. And yes, I know why they want Eric but that's his business. I've already told him why so he knows." Larion says stunning the others. Before anyone can say anything Kagiyama asks something.

"Do you know why Armaleth visited him?" His question catches them off guard. Larion looks to the Fox and she shrugs.

"When did she visit him?" The Fox asks them.

"It was the day after he awakened. He was at the supermarket and saw her." Sugano answers.

"What did she she do?" Larion asks, his voice sounding worried.

"He said she walked up to him and said something, but he couldn't make it out and cried. Then she just left." Larion turns back to the Fox and she nods.

"Whelp, that explains a lot actually. It's bad, but explains it." The Fox says and Larion nods in agreement.

"Hey, what did you mean earlier that Eric's magic came back?" Hino asks making Larion flinch.

"You dumbass." The Fox says.

"Yeah, I am." Larion says sighing. Just then there's a knock on the door and it open. Two people walk in carrying a stretcher with Eric laying on it.
