For years, you've known and got along well with Shamane. He was a great arcanist, greatly assisting you on your St. Pavlov Foundation missions, and he was also very easy and pleasant to talk to. Everything seemed to be so easy, making you feel carefree by his side.

Yet as the Afflatus demand differed from what he had, you needed to recruit more people and focus on them to make sure they're powerful. Shamane was having none of that.

As you were in the foundation, discussing some plans with Lucy and Medicine Pocket, your coworkers, just as Lucy mentioned about going to a cafe to relax and discuss it further, you felt a looming figure behind you, wrapping his arms loosely around your neck. It was Shamane. "Sorry, but me and Timekeeper are already planning to go together. Right~?" He gave a innocent yet mischievously smirk to you, yet with facing them, it made Medicine Pocket's expression turn disgusted, maybe even concerned?

"Ugh... Whatever... C'mon, let's go, Lucy." Medicine Pocket said to Lucy, slightly shuddering at the look Shamane was giving them. Even though she still had much to say and couldn't understand certain signs since she was a robot, Medicine Pocket had dragged her out of the room, only leaving you and Shamane.
