[POV Reo]
"So, what did you find Fleur?" I asked Fleur who was too busy staring at the computer screen. For a few seconds, she didn't even bother to spare me a look. Since she was like this I decided to wait.
Several minutes had already passed when she finally turned away from the computer screen and she was quite surprised to see me standing there.
"When did you come here? You should have called me" Fleur said while giving me a surprised look. Yeah, right. I called you four times before I finally gave up and decided to wait.
"Uh… sorry, I decided not to disturb you. You looked kind of focused" I said with a wry smile on my face. Fortunately, Fleur didn't notice my wry smile and beamed at my thoughtfulness.
"You know you will be quite surprised to see what I found" Fleur gushed out completely excited.
"Oh…" that was my smartest reply at this moment.
"Yes, you remember the metal we found in Savage Land, the Anti-Metal and the metal you brought two days ago are exactly the same metals" Fleur said pulling up some reports on the screen.
"But for whatever reason, both of these metals have different properties. Yes, there are several differences on the molecular levels but I don't know why that is" Fleur finished with a frown on her face.
"Vibranium can absorb any form of vibrations. This makes it an exceptionally hard metal but Anti-Metal releases a certain kind of vibration which can liquify other metals… it's really fascinating if you consider it like that" Fleur said with a mad gleam in her eyes.
"Good! So, how quickly can you get me an armor made of these metals?" I asked Fleur who frowned once again after hearing my question.
"It will only take a week for me to make you an armor from the Vibranium but I can't say anything about the Anti-Metal" Fleur sighed after she finished.
(A/N: Guys, I wanted to do a quick vote… I wanted to know if you guys want MC to have Anti-Metal armor or simply Vibranium armor. I will post two comments inside here. You can vote by liking the comment)
After that, I spend quite some time in Fleur's lab rubbing her shoulders and back to make her relax. It could be clearly seen that she was stressed. She didn't look tired or anything but I could see that she looked kind of stressed even though she was a Phoenix.
I finally walked out of her lab after an hour, we just enjoyed the time spent with each other. So, I decided to visit Luna, it has been some time since I had visited my angel. She has been planning to publish Quibbler in this world and Nemuri had been helping her by buying her printing presses around the world.
At first, Nemuri had planned to buy Luna printing presses only in the US but when Nemuri thought carefully she found that it was a good market to start a business, so she decided to go ahead and started to buy off printing presses all around the world.
I was on the way to Luna's Rook… she named her personal room, Rook in memory of her home back in the HP World. Don't need to worry, her home was still there and her dad was also fine but according to Luna she must have a Rook here since she had one back in the HP World.
This is where Luna spent most of her time nowadays. She was currently working on a design for her paper. She didn't want to use the old Quibbler design… she wanted to use something new. While on my way to the Rook, I found Jean who has been apparently looking for me.
"Reo, I have been wanting to talk with you" Jean said as soon as she saw me.
"Ah… so what do you want to talk about?" I asked Jean.
"Um… are you free this afternoon?" Jean asked me in a slightly nervous tone.
"Yeah, I have nothing planned for the afternoon. So, do you want to go on a date?" I asked her in a teasing manner. Jean slightly blushed and started to splutter… it was almost like watching a schoolgirl.
"It's a date then" Jean said in a hurry as soon as she was done spluttering. Even after going on so many dates with her, she still got nervous from time to time like she was doing now. Sometimes I kind of wondered if she was a woman in her twenties or not…
"Is there someplace you wanna go?" I asked Jean in a gentle tone. Jean finally stopped her blush and acted like any other woman in her twenties.
"Someplace romantic would be nice" Jean said with a smile on her face.
"Sure" I said and leaned down to kiss her. Jean eagerly returned the kiss. I told her that I will pick her up in the afternoon and resumed my journey towards the Rook.
I arrived in front of Luna's door and before I could knock on the door I heard Luna's voice from inside. "Yes, come in" even though I was slightly gobsmacked, I still entered the room, after all, I knew that Luna could see the future and she must have known that I was coming here.
I entered the room and found the room was completely filled with sketches of different animals. One side of the room didn't have any wall, only glass doors. Attila was poking her head inside from there. There were also several sketches of Attila hanging on the walls…
"I like what you did with your room" I said and for whatever reason Luna didn't seem to appreciate the compliment.
"Rook!" Luna said in a bland tone. I immediately knew where I messed up.
"Yeah, sorry. I like what you did in the Rook" I said with a wry smile on my face and Luna beamed when she heard the compliment.
"Thank you" Luna said with a huge beautiful and innocent smile on her face.
"So, what are you working on?" I decided to change the topic. Hearing me Luna started to rummage through her table and handed me some papers.
"I have been making plans for the design of my paper. I understand that magical creatures are not known by anyone in this world but without them, Quibbler won't be Quibbler" Luna said with a frown on her face. Yeah, that could be a problem but how come Luna doesn't know the solution?? After all, she can see the future…
I still decided to answer her "You can make a kid section inside the paper where you could write everything about magical creatures" I said and Luna once again beamed with a huge smile on her face and pulled me into a hug.
"Thank you, Reo. You are a life-saver" Luna said with a relieved look on her face.
"Um… Luna, you can see the future, right? So, it should have been quite simple for you?" I finally asked her.
"Oh, yes, I knew what I needed to do but you are the one who needed to give me the idea" Luna said like it was a matter of fact and went back to her drawings. I never knew that she liked to draw though, I gently leaned down beside her to see what she was drawing… it was a sketch of a hare.
"I never knew that you liked to draw" I said in a questioning manner.
"Oh… I started to draw whenever I was free. Well, not always, I started only two months ago" Luna answered but she didn't look up from the paper and continued to draw.
"That's really beautiful" I said and Luna hummed in agreement. I know that Luna wasn't like any other girls and sometimes I found myself really stumped in front of her.
I spent the rest of the day with Luna, sitting right beside her watching her sketch, it was a beautiful sight. After she finished the sketch both of us went to play fetch with Attila. Luna was an amazing woman and I definitely loved her.
"I love you Luna" I said while hugging her. After we were done playing with Attila we decided to sit in each other's embrace.
"I know" Luna said in a gentle tone and squirmed in my arms wanting to get closer to me "I love you too" Luna finished softly afterward…
When I finally left the Rook it was already afternoon. I remembered that I had promised Jean a date but I lost track of the time when I was with Luna until she reminded me that I had promised Jean a date… now where should I take her??
Paris is out of option, I have been there so many times that I no longer find it romantic. Switzerland is also out of option, it's not the right time of the year. Ah… Venice… that's a nice place and I have never been to Venice. Looks like I get to sharpen my Italian speaking skills…
