#QuestionOfTheDay fictional prospect draft! You have the #1 pick in a draft of fictional heroes/heroines BEFORE they became heroic or powerful. You have no idea who the rest of your cast or party will be and no idea what other fictional characters you can acquire later or put around your draft pick so they may not necessarily develop into the powerful/heroic character they do in normal canon.

You can pick from any work of fiction.

Who do you choose to lead your party in a quest of unknown challenges and difficulty?

New Read - Little Witch Academia (Series)

Last week on vacation I read my new copies of the Little Witch Academia manga. For those who have never seen the anime from Studio Trigger, it follows Akko, a teenage girl who is not from a witch family, going to school to learn magic. She's super excited and comes blindly from outside of witch culture.

It's a fish out of water story. It's a story of never giving up. It's also very fun.

The manga adapts much of the anime directly with some minor additions. It's also written largely episodically, much like the anime.

Sweet Tea (甘茶)

Part 2B: Amacha (あまちゃ)

The room was a mess, which would’ve riled Madam. She expected things to be neat at all times, just in case someone important stopped by. Hours or no hours, when money was on your doorstep, you didn’t turn it away. If Amacha risked Madam’s wrath like that, the anemia had to be advanced.

“I’ll get to it before customers come.”

Mao cleared a place and sat. While Amacha made tea, Mao fiddled with some tonic herbs to waste time. It wouldn’t do to get kicked out early. As Amacha finished brewing the tea, Mao rolled some makeshift pills using a bit of sticky gum.

She accepted the cup, sipped. “Cheap leaves.” Undoubtedly, Amacha saved her best tea for clients. That was the tea Mao wanted.

“I heard you had some special sweet tea.”

Amacha turned, “Who told you that?! I just have that,” and she pointed at Mao’s cup.

A lie,” Mao thought, “but she wouldn’t waste good leaves on me.

“I was told most specifically you had sweet tea.” The habit of persistence frequently got Mao what she wanted, and in this case, it worked surprisingly well.

Amacha stomped her foot, saying, “I told that little rat not to say anything. You tell him I’m going to wring his neck!”

“Him?” Mao repeated.

Amacha stared, then her eyes got big. “The merchant. I—I don’t know his name.”

Just a little more, and she’ll tell me everything, Mao thought. “There is a girl downstairs with Madam. She protected someone. You can walk that path… or tell me the truth. Which path will it be?”

Sweet Tea (甘茶)

Part 2A: Amacha (あまちゃ)

Mao mulled over the situation as she went upstairs. “Best to remember Zulin’s sister’s name, at least until we’ve talked. What was it? A flower. Water element. Bitter-sweet. Right—Amacha. Hydrangea—used to treat water-dampness, though weak. Not something I’d normally use. The characters mean sweet tea. Of course, she picked a name like Sweet Tea. I can remember it.

Tricky. She may not want to see me. She’s probably still mad about that stolen jade business. Not my fault. If you’re going to be stupid, you pay the price. She was lucky to still #live here, not somewhere less reputable. Still, she blames me for Grandma’s punishment. Again, how is that my fault?

I’ll say I came to check on her health. It’s not a lie. Ukyou did tell me about that.

It didn’t take long to reach Amacha’s room. She was glad to hear something #roll behind the door and a woman mutter. People weren’t very cooperative if you woke them.

“Hello,” she called, knocking on the door.

The door opened a crack. “What do ‘you’ want?”

“I was told you weren’t well, bloated, low energy. Mind if we sit a bit?”

“I’m fine, go away.”

Gentle isn’t working,” Mao thought. “Only one thing to do with an uncooperative patient: scare them.

“Saves me time,” she said. “I’ll just tell Madam you didn’t want to see me.”

The door swung open, and Amacha stood there, robe in disarray.

Some bloating, flushed, tired. I’ve found the right person.” Mao silently noted.

“Haven’t you made enough trouble for me?” Amacha asked.

“How long have you been bloated?”

Amacha raked Mao with her eyes, her lip curled, but she answered, “A couple of days; I’m just tired from gathering flowers.”

“Make us some tea while I mix something up for you.”

“Don’t bother. I’ll be fine in a few days.”

The young courtesan still stood blocking the doorway. Mao considered pushing past but rejected the idea. Brute force wouldn’t work here, but threats would.

“I was told to help you, and you know how angry Madam gets if disobeyed.” She was mixing two unrelated facts here. First, Ukyou had asked her to help. Second, the consequences of disobeying Grandma. If Amacha related the two facts, that was her problem.

Amacha backed up, letting Mao in.

“Tea,” Mao said, taking advantage of having the upper hand. She looked around and asked, “Too exhausted to clean?”
