"Watch out!" Screamed Mimosa from the giant bird above Yuno. He quickly dove down on the ground as the bird's large arms almost grabbed him from the shoulders.

I brought out my grimoire as it magically floats in the air, creatures began to come together. The pages flipped in my book and I chanted a spell. Big blocks of sharp ice rained down the sky, freezing each and every creature that it may hit. They fell into the ground shattering like broken glass.

Another count of beasts attacked. We all summoned our own magic, wiping everything we see in the way. And with one last attack, I made the same spell as I did before, freezing every creature my ice touches.

"That was amazing, little one!" Leopold praised slapping the back of my shoulder that nearly got me on the ground. "To think that you can make it rain ice and freeze everything. Good idea! Great idea!" he still continued and laughed proudly.

The creatures aren't even that strong for me. As the sunset suppresses into the sky, we could sense the dangers dwelling. The cold spreading and worst... "ACHOO!—" I quickly covered my mouth and nose as the chills crept in my spine. Again I sneezed and continued on every few seconds.

"Is it really that cold?" Mimosa asked, bringing out her grimoire. "Let's stop here for the night. I'm going to heal you." She said.

"Thank you." I replied.

So the boys went on to set up a camp on our spot. I sat still in front of the fire, coiling myself with Leopold's robe which he handed over a while ago and still sneezing. Mimosa brought out her grimoire to chant a recovery magic. Well it always happened to me. All the time when all I summon was snow and not any other kind of spell. Feeling all better, I thanked the girl and told her that I had enough strength to summon a recovery magic for myself now.

"Alright. Just make sure to conserve some mana okay?" she said. I nodded.

I brought out my grimoire, flipped the pages and closed my eyes. "Recovery magic, Phoenix touch." I chanted. A portion of the fire separated and faced me forming up into a bird with long elegant feathers. Everyone watched it with amazement as the bird landed on my shoulder. "Phoenix is a really complicated spell, so if I'm not careful enough, I might burn myself." I said awkwardly after noticing the faces they made when they looked at the magic I summoned.

"You can use fire too?" Leopold asked in disbelief. "How is that possible?"

"I've been born with it." I replied. Then guilt started to conquer me again as I remembered my brother, Asta. He has no magic... and yet I'm here, blessed with so many. I might've stolen his' that's why. Everyone continued preparing for the camp, hardly enough for everyone since the three of them are born noble.

While I silently looked down on my feet, feeling the guilt pressing my heart. I felt a gentle tap on my back, I turned around and found Yuno smiling at me. "Don't worry. He's not blaming you. For the nth times now Y/n. As you can see, Asta's strong without magic." He said.

I sighed, still feeling frustrated from my own thoughts. "But still..." He sat beside me in front of the fire. "I still feel annoyed to myself for having a lot of magic that I can't handle." I complained. "Surely, one or two of these must've been Asta's."

"But it's yours so you shouldn't feel down."

"I know I shouldn't. Asta never really blamed me for it, but it just made it even harder."

I felt little movements in my sling bag. Curious, I opened the pack finding a light that abruptly shone up into the air making us stare at Bell who looked unpleased. "I knew it! You want to kill me, don't you?!" she screamed, pointing a finger at me then snickering arrogantly. "Too bad. I can actually breath, because I'm a wind sprite!" she said.

I chuckled. "I'm glad you're awake. how's your sleep, Bell?" I asked.

She looked at me in disbelief. "You..." she squeaked again. "Stop making up stories! You wanted to kill me in your bag don't you?!"

"Of course not. I'm sorry if you weren't that comfortable. I just hid you when we were fighting some creatures." I apologized still denying her scary accusations. "They're so attracted to strong magic power that's why if I kept you in the open, they might've eaten you."

"Y-you did? You think I-I'm strong?" she asked bashfully while her eyes directed to mine as if waiting for the best answer she wants to hear.

"O-of course! I mean, you're a wind spirit and it's so amazing. You're so strong." I said truthfully. "I mean... you make Yuno super strong right?" I even praised.

She blushed harder. "I trained hard." Yuno complained from my praise for Bell.

"But Bell is so strong too. Right?" I countered.

Yuno messed my hair then suddenly pinching my cheeks. "Stop comparing." He said stoically, but the pain on my cheeks portrayed that I shouldn't have flattered the little fairy too much.

"Youch! It hurtch, Chunoooo!!!!" I complained, trying to pull his hands away from my cheeks.

"Eeeeeeeehhhkkkkk!!!!" again, the little creature squealed annoyed. "Stop it Yuno!!!! Don't touch her!" she screamed pulling the boy from his cheeks too to get his attention.

He finally let my cheeks go as I felt my teary eyes trying to glare at him while I massaged my cheeks. "You're so mean." I complained as I squeezed my cheeks with my palms.

He smiled at me again, now pinching the tip of my nose but not too hard as he quickly put his hands down. "You're actually adorable when your cheeks are red." He said.

I frowned. "But it doesn't mean that you always have to pinch it just because you wanted to. Seriously, you're a sadist." I said back.

"Well. Done that." He said back sarcastically.

"Sheesh. I think you're gonna rip my skin off."

He chuckles. "I won't. Trust me."

"I don't trust this kind of stuff when it comes to you." I grunted. "Every time you crave to see me blush, you'd pinch my cheeks. That's really mean!"

"Sorry." He muttered sincerely. "I didn't mean to make you tear up like that." He wiped the light tears that escaped my eyes with his thumb and smiled.

Now I felt that I genuinely blushed and turned away. "Okay. Okay. You win." I raised my hand defeated after he got the blush he wanted from me. And now he looked more than satisfied to find that I always flustered around him, because of him and him alone.

"I always do." He replied.
