The Magic of a Reunion

Hibiki's here.

She really came.

...I bet it's gonna be even harder to do whatever I want now.

You guys better be nice to her, okay? She's the one who made me, so if anyone tries to hurt her, you'll have to answer to me!

To have created such a complicated being, she must be a magician of no ordinary power. Or are creatures such as you commonplace in your world?

[snackaholictank]

I dunno, whenever she does magic it always seems kind of boring. But Homunculi like me are supposed to be hard to make, so she probably knows a lot about it.

[This is his nice laugh. It's still not very nice.] I should not have expected a reckless, impudent fool like you to know much of the greater arts.

[snackaholictank]

I'm no fool! I'm a Homunculus. I don't need to know anything about magic besides how to make weapons, and I was already born with that!

Hibiki's a friend of yours? I don't know whether I should be happy for you or not . . .

[snackaholictank]

She's the one who created me. She was kind of like... Kind of like how Mia pretends to be my mom, even though she's not. Mia's a lot stricter, though.

The real problem's going to be at school.

[a_gentle_boy]

What do you mean by 'create'? And why would there be problems?

[snackaholictank]

Well, she used her magic and made me. Duh. She'll probably have to go to school with me while she's here, and if she's there she won't let me do anything against the rules.

[ahoge_goddess]

She made you?

[snackaholictank]

Yup.

[ahoge_goddess]

Then what are you?

[snackaholictank]

I'm a Homunculus. A living weapon for fighting wars.
