    Summary

    In a world where everyone has some form of magic, 17 year old Kasumi Miwa has been a very useless princess for the past three years, but that all ends in the blink of an eye. Suddenly she ends up wrapped up in a mystery, an enigma, and dare she say a conspiracy? The world is no longer as clear-cut as she believed. Unbeknownst to her, someone will betray her, allies will be gained, and she will learn about the strange Alchemist who lives underground. Spoiler alert: he becomes more valuable than anyone could ever imagine.

    Summary

    "Hey… Mechamaru?" Kasumi asks, leaning sideways in her seat. "You think I can come visit you sometime?"

    "What?" Mechamaru responds, turning to look at her. "Sorry, didn't catch that. I was asleep."

    Miwa scrapes up the courage to talk to Mechamaru on the bullet train home. Things go differently.

    Summary

    She jumps to her feet before she has time to think. Nearly runs down the hall, catches herself on the edge of the wall before it gives way to the open entrance to the building, an unobstructed view of the world outside.

    There’s a boy there.

    He is bleeding.

    There’s something about him that makes Kasumi want to cry.

    “Mechamaru?”

    ~

    Miwa's always wanted to visit Mechamaru, to get to know the person behind the puppet. One evening, he shows up at the dorm in a body that works the way he's always wanted, and an entirely new future starts to feel possible.

    Summary

    Satoru is curled up on the couch in their shared apartment, staring at Suguru’s profile as he laughs into his phone. He’s probably talking to that new girl from one of their classes—the one with the dimples and the soft voice.

    Satoru tunes it out. He presses his fingers to his temples, trying to rub away the ache building there.

    Of course he would fall for his best friend. Of course it had to be someone who smiled like that—warm, effortless—and never noticed the way Satoru stared at him like he was starving.

    He could ace every exam, charm professors without trying, talk circles around anyone in debate club. But when it came to Suguru?

    He was nothing but a mess of glances and silence.

    Pathetic.

    How long can Satoru feign indifference when no one else will ever know Suguru the way he does?

    Summary

    Mechamaru swung, and proceeded to look at his empty racket in apparent wonderment. "You don't have to tell me," he preempted. "That was pathetic."

    "I wasn't going to," Utahime retorted, already scampering over to dig the ball out from under a cabinet. "But that's why we're doing this. To improve."

    "Lady, I haven't improved in five years."

    "It's Utahime," said Utahime. "And you're about to."

    Utahime and Mechamaru attempt to play ping-pong.
