kk out a small sigh of relief the girl quickly put the groceries away and began to put up the kotatsu, until a knock came from the door. "Huh, I wonder who that could be at this hour?" The young Magus soon began to make her way towards the door only to freeze. She could smell IT, along with fresh spring water, ozone, freshly made glass, ashes, and the sickly sweet scent that was underlying the other scents as well. Taking a small gulp Emilya brought out a small step stool to look through the peephole to see outside.
With her suspicions confirmed, outside stood Souna Shitori, Tsubaki Shinra, Tsubasa Yura, Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima and a confused Issei Hyoudou. Gulping rather noticeably the pinkette stepped down from the stool only to pick up Kalawarner's scent exiting the washroom and walking into the bedroom. Opening the door with a worried expression, she feigned shock at seeing the six, as the peephole couldn't be seen from the outside.
"Shitori-kaichou? Gremory-senpai? Shinra-senpai? Himejima-senpai? Tsubasa-san? Hyoudou-san? Wh-what are you all doing here this late? Wait, how do you even know where I live?"
"That would be because the Student Council has access to all the student files, which is how we know where you live." Sona spoke with a no nonsense tone of voice as a sweat drop came onto Emilya's head.
"Well, I guess since you're all here… would you like to come inside for some tea?" After Emilya had said this the six students walked inside as they sat around the kotatsu table. "Also, my roommate just got out of the shower and is most likely getting dressed at the moment."
When she had said this Issei got a bloody nose as a lecherous smile crept onto his face. "Kalawarner! We have guests! Come into the living room and introduce yourself!" The gentle sound of footsteps could be heard as the bluenette made her way into the room in a light blue nightgown while drying her hair off.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that we were expecting visitors this late at night. My name is Kalawarner, and it's a pleasure to… meet… you." Her response slowed down as she got a better feel of the six new people in the room.
A tense silence filled the air as Emilya could smell the spring water, IT, ozone, glass, and sweet scents were growing stronger. A small voice in the back of her mind was telling her that if she didn't do something soon then the current tension could lead to a fight. If worse came to worse she would trace a copy of the Tora-Shinai to stop it. However, she had brought up blueprints for countless nameless swords to help… persuade them… to stop fighting as well. "Well, I'm going to go make some tea. Kala-chan, would you please keep our guests company?"
The use of her nickname made the Fallen look over at the small girl with a small smirk. "Fine, I'll keep 'em company, but I get to cuddle with you tonight and you can't say or do anything about it." Emilya only nodded her head as the buxom woman reminded her that there was only one bed in the apartment… and that she likes to cuddle when she sleeps.
As the girl walked into the kitchen she felt a barrier form right behind her that's purpose seemed to block sound. Narrowing her eyes a bit as she put the kettle on the stove she Traced a copy of Rule Breaker, after muttering out her aria, and destroyed the barrier, so she could listen in and make sure nothing fight provoking happened. Luckily she had done this right as Kalawarner glowered at the six Devils. "What do you Devils want? If you've come to reincarnate her then I'm sad to say there's really nothing special about her, so why don't you leave her alone. She's mine."
Rias just glared at the Fallen with a small amount of annoyance before Sona spoke up. "As much as we would like to say that there is nothing special about Einzbern-san, we just confirmed today that she is in fact a Magician. And why don't we ask you the same question: what are you doing here Fallen? Are you trying to get her to join the Grigori?"
Kalawarner's eyes widened at the statement of Emilya being a Magician before quickly recovering. "Pfft, the Grigori is the last place I'd want to drag her into, there's too many crazy people there that would take advantage of her. Besides I left the current group I was with to come live here with my precious Emi-chan. So, why don't you Devils bug off, we've both been living here for the last two months in relative peace, so I don't want you to drag her into any of your business. And to be honest she doesn't even know that much about the supernatural, as anyone would know which houses you little heiresses belong to."
Rias slammed her hands down on the table as she glared harder at her. "Why do even care about what happens to her if she doesn't even know what you are either! Besides why are you being so greedy, it's not like you're in love with her."
As the Gremory heiress has said that a light blush dusted Kalawarner's face as she looked off to the side. The perverted mind of Issei quickly went to work as he soon fell back do to a nosebleed. Yura wasn't fairing any better as the thought of the older woman laying in bed with the small form of Emilya made her blush a little as well. "Well, I haven't really told her anything about that actually, but I was going to inform her of what I was when we got into tonight's cuddle session."
The room was deathly silent right until Emilya turned the corner with six cups of tea and a kettle in the center of them all. Placing the tea down and passing the cups out she gave them all a warm smile. "Are you all talking about school? Or…" A sudden chill went down everyone's spine as they looked at the girl to see the smile as anything but warm anymore. "Are you talking about how you're all not human?"
Sona's eyes slightly widened in shock as she could feel that the barrier she put up had been destroyed. 'When did she…?'
Before anyone else could react to her statement Kalawarner turned to look at the pinkette with a surprised expression. "You knew!? How long!?"
"Oh, umm, I've known since we first met that you weren't a human. Along with else everyone in this room, except for Hyoudou-san who was human until just last week."
"And how do you know this Einzbern-san?" Sona asked as she narrowed her eyes at the child-sized high schooler.
"You see, I have this ability that lets me sense magical signatures through my sense of smell."
"Are… are you saying that we smell?" Rias asked as her mouth openly gaped at the girl with Akeno giggling lightly. Emilya only shook her head as she pointed at Sona.
"Not really, it's more like I can determine who is who. Like Shitori-kaichou smells like fresh spring water, and Hyoudou-san smells like ashes. Plus, there's this strange sickly sweet smell that I've come to associate all of the Student Council and Occult Research Club with. Although, whenever you're near Gremory-senpai, I get scared because I smell this nothingness coming from you and it utterly terrifies me."
