《Winter Wonderland》The Schemer of the Scalding Sands: part 9

"Argh..." Kareem groaned in pain. "Retreat for now!"

"You haven't seen the last of us!" Omar said before the two Scarabia students ran off. It didn't take a lot of effort for the twins to defeat them, especially since they had Yuuna protecting them with her magic shields.

"Go on and scatter, you bunch of minnows! Aha ha!" Floyd laughed as the students scattered out of Octavinelle.

"We'll be eagerly awaiting your next visit to our lounge" Jade called out, with a pleased smile on his face.

"Mya-HAH! We did it!" Grim cheered. "You see that?! That's what you get, you buncha jerks!"

Azul let out a hmph sound as he was hugging Y/n from behind the whole time he was casting spells at the Scarabia students with Y/n herself. After all, she was an advantage due to her being more powerful than the great 5 mages so ehe.

Azul moved Y/n's hair to the side, seeing his soulmark on the back of her beck, having a smile. He then gave the mark a kiss, causing Y/n to flinch in surprise, "A-Azul!" she called out, but it seems like Azul was keen on giving Y/n a hickey, like Malleus, Riddle, and Leona had done during their alone time with Y/n.

"Hold on...we can people watching!" Y/n squeaked. Yuuna had a mad blush on her face as she was covering Grim's view with her leg, while Jade and Floyd had a smirk on their faces.

"Oh..yes" Azul let out a sigh, pulling Y/n closer and nuzzling into ht neck. "I do hate to rain on your parade, but..." he started off, sitting down on a high chair, pulling Y/n up onto his lap to sit on. "I'm afraid we'll have to bill you for repair fees for the tables and chairs damaged in that fight. Not to mention our own labor rates, since we were dragged into this affair"

"WHAT?!" Grim looked at Azul with a shocked expression on his face. "You're chargin' us for that?!"

"Surely it's a small price to pay for us rescuing you from the inky depths of peril?" Azul asked.

"No to worry, I'll fix it" Y/n smiled as she flicked her wrist, having the damaged furniture repair itself and glide to its original position.

"Fufu, the dark mirror sure isn't wrong about you, Angelfish" Jade smiled.

"Mhm! Angelfish is so cool" Floyd cooed.

"Fufufu" Azul chuckled

Grim grumbled. "First we get dragged into a bunch of Scarabian infighting, now this..." Yuuna said, shaking her head in disapproval. "I swear, there ain't a decent guy in this whole school!" Grim shouted.

"...I'm sorry, come again?" Azul perked an idea. "What's this about Scarabian infighting?" he then turned to Y/n. "Angelfish, what happened?" he asked.

"So here's the deal..."

Y/n then started to explain how she got into the manner when Yuuna and Grim called for help, as Yuuna explained the beginning when she and Grim got dragged to Scarabia.

"The Housewarden of Scarabia is acting out of control, you say?" Azul asked, completely baffled by the news.

"Yeah! Kalim's runnin' all his dormmates through the wringer every day, nonstop" Grim nodded.

"I wouldn't have expected that Kalim, of all people" Azul mumbled as he did Y/n's hair into a mermaid style.

"I never knew the little Sea Otter had it in him," Floyd said, his eyes widening at the shocking information.

"He's never given me that impression, either," Jade added.

"Indeed. I didn't believe it at first when Yuuna first told me..." Y/n sighed. "It was shocking when I saw it in person"

"At least Y/n didn't have to suffer too much. After all, they were all mindful on how harmful hot temperature can be for her" Yuuna added.

"Vice Housewarden Jamil's got his hands full tryin' to deal with it" Grim continued. "He's a decent guy, which is pretty rare for this school. I feel kinda bad for him. And we can't even reach the headmaster in the middle of this mess!"

"That Crowley, I swear..." Y/n growled.

"......." Azul seemed usually quiet for some time.

"Azul, you're in Jamil's class, right?" asked Jade.

"Yes. We also share a number of electives. Our paths are wont to cross often" Azul said. "Grim might be right when he says that Jamil is a rarity in this school. He's...demure and poised, you might say. He hardly ever ventures opinions of his own"

"Yeah. I'm in the Basketball Club with Sea Snake, and he pretty much plays like a goody-goody" Floyd said. "I never pay much attention to other dorms to start with, so I had no idea he was vice housewarden for Scarabia"

"And now we know he's having trouble dealing with his housewarden's antics. Hrm..." Azul hummed, thinking of an idea. "It sounds like I should come to their aid,"

Y/n, Yuuna, and Grim looked at Azul, suspicious of his intentions.

"Why, I never" Azul pouted. "I'll have you know the last incident forced me to reflect on my envy. I came out of it a changed man" he tells them. "Moving forward, I've decided to contribute to the school as a whole, in honor of the Sea Witch's spirit of benevolence"

'So kinda like the Cryo Archon's spirit of Serenity? Like the statue says?'

'mhm'

"Now that Scarabia is faced with a crisis and my very own classmate is in need of help...I can hardly ignore them in their time of need" Azul continued.

"Oooh?" Floyd tilted his head a bit.

"Oh-ho" Jade let out a grin.

"It's just as well- I'm tired of picking at the same turkey dinner alongside the same faces every year" Azul admitted. "Why don't we pay Scarabia a visit tomorrow?" he suggested.

The Amaryllis trio flinched in surprise, as Y/n hopped off of Azul and hugged Yuuna as her tail moved in front of Grim, having a protecting guard.

"Seriously?!" exclaimed Grim and Y/n. "We just broke outta that prison, and you want us to march back in? Count me out"

"C'mon, Sealie-O, don't be like that" Floyd said, in a teasing manner.

"Have some faith in Azul" Jade smiled. "I'm sure he'll make this a holiday to remember"

"It would be rude to visit empty-handed, of course. Jade. Floyd" Azul called out to the twins. "Don't forget to wrap up our gifts"

"Yes, sir1 yes, SIR!" Jade and Floyd said in unison. "Heh heh heh..."

"I could certainly think this is going to be positively delightful" Azul grinned, getting off of his seat, and behind Y/n. "Heh heh heh..."

Everyone got ready for the night as for sleeping arrangements, Y/n was gonna sleep with Azul in his room, while Yuuna gets sandwiched by Jade and Floyd in their rooms, sleeping on an air mattress for all three of them to fit. Grim was there as well, as he slept on Yuuna's stomach.

Y/n was in her nightgown, which was a victorian style nightgown. She curled up into a cute baby position, with her tail between her legs, making Y/n snuggle it.

Azul, who had finished putting on his pajamas, saw the cute scene.

"Fufu" he chuckled as a light blush spread across his face. "Why are you so cute..." he muttered. He decided to treasure the moment by taking a picture.

After that, he placed his phone back to charge, and lay on his bed, spooning Y/n, having a smile on his face.
