CHAPTER 9- Mei and Nia.
After showering and changing clothes, Kei left his house.
"I finished my homework and I did my morning exercises… May I leave now."
Drin, in her cat form, is in his head.
Today is Kei's first day off.
Students in class S study 3 days and rest 4.
The classes are very complicated and their assignments are difficult too. For obvious reasons, they are left with a lot of homework.
But Kei has no problem with that. Since he was little, he studied all the history, math and magic books that were in the large library at home. Classes that are difficult for others are easy for him. And the tasks were finished in an hour.
When he studies, his intelligence increases, and since he has the ability "Double Points", his intelligence increases double.
"It is not fair!"
Mei hugs Kei from behind.
She is crying, because she wants to go with him, but he said no.
"I want to go with you, brother! I want to go out with you!"
"I told you, you won't go out with me until your homework is done."
"I do not understand anything! Help me! Or hand me the homework! Please brother! Don't be mean to your cute and beautiful sister!"
"If I pass it to you, you won't learn anything. And I don't have time to help you, my order has already arrived."
"Don't be mean, brother! I want to go with you!"
Kei is shocked by those words.
"N-Nia?"- Kei thought.

Time ago.
"Don't be mean, brother! I want to go with you!"
Nia is hugging Kei tightly, while crying.
"Nia, the swimming competition will be far away and you have to go to school. You can't miss school."
"I don't care, I want to see you win!"
"I'm sorry, Nia, but you mustn't neglect your studies ... I got it. Nia, if I win, I will dedicate my victory to you and buy you a gift."
Nia's eyes turn bright upon hearing that tempting offer.
"Really?!"
"Yes, it is a promise."- He said smiling.
"Thanks brother!"

Kei remembered that scene.
"Mei looks too much like Nia ... Zius, I don't know if you did this for me, but thank you."- He thought smiling.
For Kei, Nia was his best friend. She never judged him when he was fat. Yes, fat. Kei lost his parents in an accident when he was 10 years old. He became depressed and began to eat too much.
The girls considered him ugly and the boys made fun of him.
But Nia never made fun of him. She supported him and was always by his side.
And when two girls made him cry, she helped him train and lose weight.

Time ago.
Kei, 14, is reading a letter.
"You really are very ugly, fat ..."
Kei read a letter that was left on his table.
It was a pink letter with a heart.
He thought it was a love letter, but his heart broke when he read the letter.
"Did you really think it was a love letter ?!"
"How pathetic you are!"
Two girls are standing in front of him, laughing.
But he just smiles and watches them.
"Love Letter? I never thought it was. It was obviously a joke letter. By the way ... who are they?"
"Eh?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't recognize them ... Did you do this? I recommend that you use perfume on the cards, it will be more convincing."
"A-are you kidding me?"
"Eh? kidding? Sorry, I have no talent for jokes ... Well, I'm leaving."
He gets up from his seat and walks away from them.
They were the most beautiful and popular girls in his class.
Kei said that so as not to give them the pleasure of seeing him angry or sad.
After getting home, he started crying.
That joke affected him too much ... So he decided to lose weight.
For 6 months, Kei dedicated himself to training his body.
With Nia's help, he lost weight.
He became attractive, but he didn't think so. He still considered himself ugly, but he didn't care about that. He just wanted to be slim, he never thought he wanted to be handsome.
And when he entered high school, one of the girls who bothered him proposed to him. He thought it was another joke and rejected it immediately, breaking her heart.
And after that, they came out 4 more times and he also rejected them, thinking they were joking with him too.

"Well, Mei, I have a deal for you. If you finish the homework, I will do whatever you want. Does that sound like a fair deal?"
"Whatever I want...? It's a deal, brother!"
"I'm sure he'll ask me for a magical dessert or do his homework next time."- Kei thought.
But Mei hadn't planned to ask for that, she had planned to ask for something else.
"It's my chance to get a kiss from Kei!"- Mei thought excitedly.
It was quite a bold request, but if she asked him, Kei would say: "A kiss? Sure, no problem." And I'd give him a kiss on the cheek.
Kei would kiss Nia on the cheek when she asked him to, but he thought it was normal to do so, since they were family.
"Well, I'm leaving... I will go running, it will be a good exercise. Bye, Mei, when I get back, I'll review your homework. I hope you do well."
"I won't make a mistake, I promise you!"- She said proudly.
"Goodbye."
Kei runs away quickly and sighs.
Drin, who was on his head, is holding onto Kei's hair tightly, while smelling it.
"Well... Drin, we will have our date and then pick up my order."
"A date with my darling! I looked forward to it!"
"When we get far enough away, you will revert to your human form ... And put on the glasses I gave you. You look more beautiful with glasses."
"B-beautiful ?! Y-yeah, I'll wear the glasses!"
"By the way … What did the princess tell you?"
"Nothing. After that demon's attack, the party was canceled. I couldn't talk to her ... But I'm sure she will try to talk to you again."
"I see... And Charlotte?"
"She left the party after the attack. She no longer suspects you."
"Perfect."
