"My aren't you rude! You're the one who bumped into me, you brat!" Ayaka yelled as she looked at the little girl with red twin tails.

"Hey, you look awfully familiar." Ayaka said as she kneeled over and looked at Anya more closely.

"It's me! Anya!" Anya yelled in anger as she pouted while crossing her arms across her chest.

"Eh?!? What happened to you?" Ayaka asked with a hand over her mouth, shocked over the appearance of Anya.

"My tea was spiked by some potion that's causing me to regress in age. Hopefully it wears off soon. I need to know where Negi is." Anya asked as she slowly stood up.

"I'm sorry to say but he went home to London with Negami and Asuna. Asuna wanted to see his homeland so she went along." Ayaka explained. "I had to stay here and manage the festival for the Academy."

Anya smirked as she found out that Negi went back to London. Something she always wanted him to do.

"That little red head is around here somewhere." Said a gruff male voice.

"Oh no! It's them!" Anya yelled in shock and fear as she ran to hug Ayaka who looked at her confusingly.

"Who's them?" Ayaka asked.

"It's the demons disguised as humans who are after me. You have to hide me until this stupid potion wears off." Anya asked Ayaka.

"Shoot. Never thought demons would come here. I wanted the festival to be successful not ruined by some demons." Ayaka pouted as she picked up Anya." I have a place to hide you until today's festivities are over. Then we can try to contact Negi-sensei." Ayaka explained as Anya nodded.

Ayaka saw Anya wince as she cowered in between Ayaka's chest. Ayaka noticed that Anya had gotten smaller. Now looking like a 5 year old. Ayaka stood up and casually walked while carrying Anya.

Anya pointed out the demons in disguise as Ayaka took note of them and made her way to her stall. There another student was tending to it.

"Ayaka-senpai? Who's child that?" The girl asked.

"A lost child. I'll bring her to the help desk later. It is your break, right?" Ayaka asked as the girl nodded. "Then I'll handle things here."

The girl left as Ayaka placed Anya inside of a hidden shelf. "You hide here until things settle down. Then we'll get you to the dorms where you'll be safe." Ayaka said.

Anya saw all of the merchandise was Negi related as she shook with a chill muttering, "Lil bro con."

Ayaka heard Anya mutter something, "Keep quiet or they'll find you." Ayaka whispered.

Ayaka continued selling her merchandise as she watched the demons roam about, looking for Anya. Unaware that Negi left a charm for Ayaka in case any evil would be there if he wasn't there. It thwarted any chance of the demons finding Anya as she disappeared from their view as well as the crystal orb the female demon was using to find Anya.
