Elena managed to track down the princess again and had been standing and watching the princess and Johannes while they sat and had coffee at the café. She can not believe her eyes, Johannes was close to the Princess without taking her stone. What's his plan? Does he even have one? Should she confront him or should she wait to see what he has planned?

Johannes is deeply engrossed in thoughts when he leaves the café.

That did not go very well, I should give it more time, but soon I can make her trust me. Penny will give me more chances.

He snaps out of his thoughts by Elena appearing in front of him.

"Why do you look so cheerful?"

Johannes shrugs casually to hide that he was surprised.

"What, can’t I be happy that I found a cafe that had good coffee?"

Elena sighs.

"You and your coffee addiction."

"How did the scout work go?" he asks teasingly.

"Thanks to you, I lost her completely," Elena lies.

"It should not be that difficult to find a magical girl in this small town," Johannes laughs.

"Do the job yourself then if you think you can do it better!" says Elena and hits him on the arm.

"I probably could, but I do not want to take the credit from you. Besides, I would not have time to drink coffee then," says Johannes and blinks.

Elena shakes her head.

"One fine day you will end up in a hospital for caffeine poisoning."

John mutters to himself.

"I have no problem with coffee, I can cut it down whenever I want."

"Good luck with that. I have to go now. See you later." Elena disappears again and Johannes shudders.

"I hate when she just disappears like that."
