"I still don't get why I can't fly at school," Regina crossed her arms in defiance, "if someone has eye date memory-"
"-Eidetic," Rikka corrected.
"Whatever that is!" Regina threw her arms up in frustration, "anyway, if they use it to do better on tests, isn't that the same sort of thing?" Regina finished with a pouting frown.
"That's really not the sa-" Rikka began.
"She has a point Rikka," Mana interrupted, "flying is just like Regina's own talent."
Regina smirked, "See? I should be able to fl-"
Mana placed a hand in front of Regina, "but it's dangerous to others." Mana retracted her hand, "That's why there are things like not being able to run in the halls. So people don't hurt others or themselves," she finished with a smile. but suddenly her smile neutralized, and she paused for a moment, "And others might see your panties..." it came out barely above a whisper. Her voice had even cracked during it, and her face may as well have been a tomato at this point. She shook her head, confused as to why she even said it.
If Mana's face was a tomato right now, Rikka's face was closer to a pear; not very red at all. "That would be a problem," she agreed with a nod.
Regina's face grew even redder,about as red as it had when she had admitted to liking Mana despite being brainwashed by dark energy, "u-umm, M-Mana?" Regina stammered, her fingers interlaced behind her back, nervously fiddling with each other.
Mana looked in Regina's direction immediately, "what is it Regina?" She questioned with a warm smile.
Such a smile, that Regina was given courage, not as much courage as when she defied King Jikochu, but still a fair amount. So, Regina began exploring something she was suddenly curious about, "you said 'others', right?" Regina looked to Mana, "so is it just that you don't want others seeing my panties? Or," Regina had to stop and steel herself for something very bold and risky.
"Or?" Mana returned with curiosity.
Rikka just stared at Regina as if a bomb were about to go off. Which, depending on how things went, could very well happen.
"Or," Regina paused again. Then shook her head, her face growing more crimson by the second, and took a deep breath, "that you don't want anyone else to see my panties?"
Now, Mana could be somewhat dense sometimes, and this was probably one of the things that drew everyone to her. But this was not such a time. The red from Mana's face didn't convert back to a fleshy color, and instead got a tad more rosy. She stood there in thought, being careful how to go about this. She also really examined herself, to see if her intentions were truly as pure as she originally made them out to be. She could at least narrow down that it was purely about friendly advice when she had said it. No, that would be lying, if it was nothing but friendly advice, then why did her voice break? Why did she pause? Because she had a single instant, a moment where an offending image that she had never planned on conjuring up had invaded her subconscious. But should she hide the truth? "I'd be lying if I didn't say it was at least...partly that," Mana answered, not one to lie even in such a stressful situation as this. Really, she didn't have the capacity to lie. She was too honest with things. The exact reason that her being a Precure was widely known now, and was nowhere near a secret of any sort.

Regina smiled and ran up to hug Mana with all her might, "Mana~" Nestling her face in Mana's modest breasts. Fully satisfied with the answer, and glad that she asked the question that had crawled its way into her mind. Not really sure what the answer could lead to, or caring, just happy that Mana saw her as something more special than other friends, just like how she saw Mana as more special than her other friends. She liked Rikka, Alice, and Makoto a lot. The other classmates were likable enough. And even Aguri was starting to feel like her little sister, but Mana was something else. She didn't know what, but Mana was something else that those others weren't. She loved her just as much as her own papa. And that is why she was so happy that Mana said what she did.
Rikka's face grew red. She couldn't stay in the presence of those events, and made her way into the school courtyard, saying, "that was way too doki!" It was at this moment Ira appeared in front of her.
Multiple chapters are ready to be uploaded, but wanted to try and gauge reactions before getting the next chapters up. Be patient, things are moving fast, but there's a reason, is all I will say.
