Nell & Pepper

Nell, our 10th Pangya character finally show us his looks. In the Japanese Pangya website, there's a story about this character and something to do with fragments of time. The story below are obtained from here and here. Credits goes to the everyone who contributed with the translation on the forum.

Chapter 1:
Quma and Lolo keep talking about something...
After a while Lolo says, "If Cadie doesn't know it, no one does."
-There's also something about the fragments of time...-

Chapter 2:
Cadie sees a girl of about the age 10 with no emotion at all.
She also sees a cat, called Pepper.
-After the update at Pangya JP (the 22th) events will start to find out who this girl is.-

Chapter 3:
Nell (the name of the new Character) and her cat Pepper are talking about the new school.
Nell is going to to learn how to play Pangya.
Cadie is one of the teachers there and is going to send Nell on a quest to find (or solve the mystery of) the fragments of time.

Chapter 4:
On a mountain path near the entrance to Wiz City, a red haired teenage boy who has a strong presence is walking quietly.
Dark armor, dark sword, and cold eyes. They produce all sort of negative feelings. The wide path is filled with the presence of the boy.
The boy's name is Kaz. He is from the cursed Rue Clan, which everybody fears.
Any normal person is affected by Kaz's presence and it would be hard to approach him.
Kaz is finding his way on the path but whenever he tries to open his mouth to ask, everyone flees from him.
Now, everyone on the way has escaped before Kaz can find his way out.
Kaz's eyes now spot a girl, who is following a cat, walking silently on the path.
A bright girl in her uniform, carrying her school bag and her clubs. Kaz senses that this must be another student form the magic academy.
Kaz is surprised. This small girl just walks on without being afraid of him.
"Now I can ask the direction."
Kaz, who is finding his way out, believes that any person who passes by is from Wiz City.
Though this is his belief, he actually has no confidence in it.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for direction. Is this the direction to Wiz City?" asks Kaz, trying his best to be polite.
"Meow!"
"..." The girl remains silent.
The cat and the girl just walk past Kaz by his side. Kaz is shocked and stands still.
"Hey, did you hear..."
Kaz shivers when he is reaching his hand on the girl.
"No! Don't come close to that girl!" exclaims Karen, Kaz's original lover who now continues to protect him, in the form of a spirit.
However, Karen's voice cannot reach Kaz's ears.
Though Kaz feels the presence of Karen, he doesn't get the "don't come close to that girl" part. He only knows that danger awaits him.
As an experienced swordsman, after getting a sense of danger, Kaz starts to take action before knowing the identity of the girl.
"...!!!"
In a flash, Kaz pulls his dark blade and puts it in front of the girl.

Chapter 5:
On the mountain path that's supposed to be not far away from Wiz City, a teenage boy is confronting an emotionless girl with his dark blade.
"... Who are you?" the boy asks after he backs up a bit, but still in his ready-to-combat stance.
His cold eyes, which are as sharp as his blade, are staring at the girl.
"...?"
Even though there is a sharp blade just in front of her eyes, the girl doesn't show any sign of being scared.
It seems that she's not interested in Kaz, who is now in front of her.
Feeling uneasy, Kaz continues to wield his sword.
"This girl is not just one of those students from the magic academy. ...No, I thought she was just an ordinary student. Why?" thinks Kaz.
"Answer me!"
Kaz shouts, as he still doesn't know the girl's identity and after realizing that he has achieved nothing.
"Sorry. Pepper told me to hurry up, so I didn't notice you. My name is Nell, a student from the magic academy."
The girl begins to speak, in an emotionless voice, like a doll.
Reflected in the girl's eyes, is not the sword, but the cat.
It seems that the girl is not affected in any way, be it her facial expression, her voice, or her attitude.
Kaz is shocked by the fact that he is being ignored.
He is worried and there is cold sweat running from his back.
He feels like he's being confronted by a strong enemy, but filled with more fear. It's a strange feeling.
"What? What is this feeling..."
He is still pointing his sword at the girl and he is not relaxed yet.
The girl has answered, but...
While Kaz is still worrying, there is a happy voice calling from his back.
"Hi! Isn't it Kaz? I haven't seen you in a long time! Are you on your way to Wiz City?" says Nuri, a descendant of the hero who sealed the Evil Lord.
He only cares about winning in a Pangya game and he greets every other person with a face that looks like a fool.
However, there isn't any sense of hate in the atmosphere.
This boy just appears at this time, after all these things have happened.
"...Hey. Why are you in such a hurry?" asks Kaz.
"Huh? Me? I want to buy a new club set, so I am heading for Wiz City. How about you... What? What happened? Are you going to..."
"Don't even think of getting a step closer. Don't."
"...Hey! Chill down!"
"Ack!"
Kaz has pointed his sword at a girl just because he didn't know about her identity. He didn't expect himself to have done this just because of a misunderstanding.
It makes him think, his unspeakable worries have taken preference. Maybe he should prevent such a situation to happen in the first place.
*Clang!*
"Sorry. This is my fault. You can go now." says Kaz, after putting back his sword.
"It's a good thing that misunderstandings like this can be resolved. There are always things like this, be it caused by things someone has written or has spoken." says Nell.
The cat, who was sitting at a distant and watching calmly without any action, now rubs himself on Kaz's legs.
"..."
Nell remains silent.

Chapter 6:
"...Huh? This girl speaks strangely... Hey! Are you a student from the magic academy? My name is Nuri..."
Nuri puts out his hand, attempting to shake hands with Nell. When his hand approaches the girl, light begins to emit from his pocket.
"Eh? What?"
Soaked in the bright light, a small piece of fragment of a stone comes out from Nuri's pocket, floating in the air.
The bright light is emitted from the numerous ancient characters engraved on the stone, making them not recognizable.
"...!"
Kaz has some sort of feeling when he takes a glimpse at the stone.
"Isn't this fragment of stone... somewhere..."
While the stone is floating in the air, it begins to shake itself, like it's resisting something.
However, it soon stops shaking and is sucked into the schoolbag that the girl is carrying.
At this moment, Kaz's feeling about the stone disappears.
"Hey! What was that?"
Kaz turns to look at Nuri, who is surprised.
"Eh... Huh? Yes?"
"Can you tell me what was that thing that came out from your pocket?"
"Huh...? Me... that... Hey! As long as you don't point your sword at me... This..."
It seems that something is going to happen to the two person, and then the girl's voice comes from behind them.
"That is a fragment of time."
"Fragment... of time?" asks Kaz.
"It is very dangerous, as the Evil Lord's evil power was sealed in it. Miss Cadie wants me to collect all the fragments of time, they are scattered among the whole PangYa Island."
"Miss Cadie?" asks Nuri.
"Magic was casted on this schoolbag, so it will suck a fragment of time into it whenever it comes across one. Miss Cadie will reward me if I take the stones to her."
The girl answers while holding up her schoolbag that sucked the stone.
"Meow!"
The cat, sitting by Kaz's legs meows as if to back up what the girl has just said.
Nuri feels a bit more relieved after hearing Cadie's name.
"Anyway, I am in a hurry, so please excuse me. Pepper! Let's go!" says the girl.
"Hey, wait! Let me go with you!", says Nuri.
"I am not heading for Wiz City like you. I am going to the opposite direction."
"Hey. I didn't mean that. Actually I want to ask you about something..."
Kaz, who is now left alone, watches Nell, the emotionless girl who leaves without even turning her head and Nuri following her.
"That girl... there is something. Fragments of time... what is that Cadie trying to hide?"

Chapter 7:
- In the Sacred Region of the Wizards -
"Phew..."
Cadie takes a deep breath, after turning her eyes away from the crystal ball, which was showing three persons, including Nell, in it a split second ago.
"I didn't expect she would meet Kaz and Nuri... 'Fate' is just an amusing thing."
Cadie thinks of how herself is involved in this 'Fate'.
”Possibly my fate is to trust in 'Hope'."
Cadie turns back to look at the crystal ball. She now sees a boy entering Wiz City.
When the boy arrived, she leaves the sacred region to meet the boy.
...
"Welcome, Nuri." greets Cadie.
"Hi, Cadie. Um..."
"...I understand. As you are a descendant of the hero, it's hard for me to hide the truth from you..."
"Eh...?"
"It's useless not to tell you anything."
Cadie takes another deep breath.
"In the past after the Evil Lord was sealed, his evil power was weakened and a magical core was left."
She speaks in a slow and calm voice.
"To prevent the Evil Lord from coming to life again, the core was split into two parts, of which one of them was sunken to the bottom of the sea in the Evil World, and the other part was sealed in the deepest place under the Wiz Magic Academy. Then, the part of the core that was sealed below the academy began to collect the Evil Lord's power again and has become active... And this is where that girl comes from." says Cadie.
"...!!! So the Evil Lord has come to life again!?"
Nuri is surprised.
"Not yet. So, to prevent the Evil Lord from coming to life again, we need to find the other half of the core. To let her seal the evil power of the Evil Lord by herself, we taught her how to play PangYa. But..."
"But...?"
"We do not know whether that other half of the core will become active again."
"...Isn't that bad?"
"Calm down. So, we have to find the half of the core that was sealed under the Magic Academy."
What Cadie just said relieves Nuri.
"...I understand what's with that girl now. What about the fragments of time?" Nuri asks after he has calmed down and has begun to think of the situation.
"Huh?"
Cadie is a bit surprised by Nuri's question.
"Ah. Right... Haha."
However, as she is experienced in handling such matters, Cadie hides her concern and tells Nuri, smiling in her face.
"Eh? What?"
Nuri is confused.
"Nothing. Simply just practise the eyes of your heart."
"...???"
Without understanding why Cadie is smiling, Nuri's face shows that he is very confused.
"Right, about the fragments of time. These things suddenly appeared on the lands of PangYa Island recently, possibly being attracted by the Evil Lord's power."
Like nothing has just happened, Cadie starts to speak again.
"As I thought these fragments themselves weren't that dangerous, I asked that girl to collect them as a distraction."
"I got it... What about the rewards that she was mentioning?"
"Hehe... Those things were originally fragments of a magical tool used by the Cross Chronos Tribe. When you cast a magic onto the completed tool, time would be disrupted."
"You can disrupt time by collecting these fragments? I don't understand. Is it even a good idea to collect them?"
"Yeah. It won't change the fact that the evil power of the Evil Lord is beginning to gather together again anyway."
"Understood! I will also lend a hand to look for them!"
"I won't stop you."
...
...
...
"Fragments of time, Nell, the other half of the core, the hero, the Evil Lord... We do not know whether something big will happen, yet."
Cadie thought to herself after seeing that Nuri has left.
