Month of Mei

Mei and Yamuraiha meet after their respective Magical Centers merge.

A tall, black pointy hat dipped forward as the head of Magnostadt bowed. It was a wonder that the metal ring around it didn’t cause it to fall off.

The owner of the hat dryly said, “A pleasure to meet you, I’m sure.”

She straightened up, squinting through the rising sun bombarding her retinas. Across from her, a man with a partial mask covered the rest of his face with a feathered fan. The corner of his mouth that could be seen remained curved downward. He bowed in similar fashion.

“Likewise. I’m sure pooling our resources will expedite our discoveries in magic.”

He sighed as he looked to the side at the workers arriving on transportation circles with equipment. This would have been much easier if he still had Dantalion. But then again, using his djinn was exhausting so personally for him, this way was actually easier.

She led him out of the courtyard and to her office. The windows were stuffed with scrolls, potion bottles and cloth, making the room much dimmer than outside, to both of their reliefs. Yamuraiha proceeded to inform Koumei of the current big projects as he browsed over her shelves.

Looking over her journals of research, he came across one of her older experiments for growing beards. It made him think of his brother. Curious, he inquired what use that could have had.

Yamuraiha explained, “Well it did come in handy when my King shaved his eyebrows the night before an important Council.” She let out a small giggle recalling the incident. True Sinbad and Ja’far’s eyebrows did grow a mile long, but it was a stimple trim to make them look normal after that.

Koumei blinked. “Eyebrows? But it’s labeled ‘beard magic.’”

“It affected hair and then eyebrows. I soon gave up after that. See, if  you look at the trial notes from this experiment to this one over here, you’ll see I took the XXX and made it VVV so logically, you would think if that change went from head to brow then converting it further to QQQ would stimulate growth on the chin…but it only went back to the head!”

She started sobbing in the frustration of her failure then caught herself. She covered her mouth as she remembered that extensive details like that is what makes guys uninterested in her. Not that she cared if he was interested in her. He was a prince of the Kou Empire. Or used to be. But he was still Kou and it was hard to forget the terrors they committed in the past.

However, Koumei grabbed the notes and took them to her desk. He laid them out and pointed to the various components of the circles as he theorized, “What if we were to take the ZZZ here and QRX it this way and adjust the NNN by YYY?”

What?!?! He wasn’t put off by her magic jargon? And he understood it? And contributed ideas of his own on top of that?! And the suggestions…made logical sense?! “Why didn’t I think of that?!”

“I have been overseeing magical research since I was 5,” he shrugged.

Yamuraiha pointed to a shelf of gigantic books. “I had those textbooks for advanced students over there as my bedtime stories at that age!”

“Two lines of study gives us two perspectives. That is why our institutes are joining after all.”

“I had abandoned this pursuit but…Oh! I just got to try it out!” She bit her lips and looked at Koumei shyly “...If you don’t mind me testing it out on you?”

“Go ahead. If it works out, I know of someone who could benefit from this.”

He was referring to his brother that would love to have a beard as flourishing as their late uncle. But Kouen could never stand the look of the in-between stage of growing it out, so it remained a neat little point on his chin.

Yamuraiha, however, was thinking how she could personally benefit from this finally working out. Little did she know what would rekindle inside her when the experiment worked.

Either the pride of finding the solution to the conundrum, or the mere sight of a beard on someone as versed in magic as she was. She covered her cheeks, hoping the cool touch of her fingers would tone down the heat radiating from her face.

Koumei stroked the long strands now hanging from his chin, inspecting the quality. “We should see if variables in the HHH and TTT  can alter the length.  Tweaking %%% may help with the coarseness.”

Suddenly finding this man attractive, she got nervous. Her mind went crazy and she couldn’t help herself as she reasoned, “I don’t think so. I’ve tried %%% with @@@ before but that resulted in ### on this other experiment for SSS where I YYY the DDD.” Now she’d done it! She panted heavily as her mind whirled over her most impressive calculations.

He set a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. “Explain more on the DDD with the ###. We can save a lot of time on trial and error if you’ve already mastered the ZZZ of NNN. That can factor the TTT to WWW like a VVV.”

By now Yamuraiha was practically drooling as she grabbed a blank parchment and started scrawling on it with a quill. Big circle, little circles. Lots of runes and symbols. All the elements and commands lined up and she had to capture it before they shifted.

Koumei scratched his new beard, contemplating leaving Magnostadt’s head to her own devices as he left to trim it down. But maybe he’d save the trim until after a nap. Apparently growing hair is exhausting…or last night’s planning council finally caught up to him. Or his new colleague’s energy was just that draining.

All I can offer at this time is the concept of a picture of Mei reading "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" to his children (my beginning sketch here for the oc kids from my Goddess Descends au) that I started like 5 years ago.
