"LA MADRE QUE ME PARIÓ, (For the love of my mother) SIRA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"
Aioros smiled from the bed, stretched and stood up on the way to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a small notebook:
"Mischief No. 25"
"What happened, Shura?" He screamed, waiting for the answer for put it on the list he had been writing since the little Capricorn arrived at the Sanctuary.
"SHE HAD PAINTED ME THE GOLD ARMOR! LOOK AT ME!"
The spaniard entered the bedroom where Aioros was, dressed in his gold cloth and a huge message on his chest written in greek that said: [ Shura is the best ]:
"WHERE DOES THIS GIRL GET THE MARKERS!?"
"How can you get mad at her after reading that?"
"Aioros, don't take her side for what you want most... Besides, where is she? I don't even hear her laugh."
"In the backyard, although she may been hidden after the fuss that you're screaming."
Capricorn went to look for his apprentice, leaving the defender of the girl behind him and Sagittarius jotted down the data he had collected. Ever since he had moved into the Sagittarius temple with Shura, Sira, and Catra (because at the end, the Gold Saints had been unable to cope with the distance) the fun had settled between them, though actually… it seemed that only he and the girl enjoyed it. For his part, Shura was about to lose his nerves:
"NO, SIRA!"
The Spaniard's voice fell silent for a second, and then, said "Me cago en la madre que..." (
sodding hell!)
When Sagittarius came to his aid, a torrent of energy stopped him in his tracks as the laughter of Sira and Bafi filled the interior of the temple. The children ran away, dodging all kinds of obstacles while Shura's cosmos seemed to get out of control. Aioros went out into the courtyard at full speed and somewhat worried, he found the spaniard with his back to him, still as a statue, leaving only the chest of the cloth to rise and fall to the rhythm of his breathing. He was drenched:
"S-She ... has launched you... a water balloon?"
"A tomar por culo, Aioros, ¡esa niña me tiene hasta los cojones!"
"Hey, hey, calm down, right? And speak well, I don't understand everything you said."

Mischief No. 34: Someone has added Catra's food to Shura's menu. That someone is Sira. But she also put an apple in his backpack with a note "This is for Milo."
That had been fun at first, but Sagittarius was forced to sit the girl in the living room and scold her because her exploits were starting to make too many people angry. Specifically, because of that menu change, the mission to which Capricorn, Scorpio and Gemini had been about to fail and get them into serious trouble. To top it all, Kanon had had to go to the temple to find the true backpack that would give them victory.
Sira was anxious, she really was a very energetic girl who never seemed to tire. It didn't matter how much training she had per day, she always wanted to run around the Sanctuary accompanied by Bafi since thanks to communication via cosmos, the two little ones had managed to understand each other - unfortunately for their respective Masters-:
"What's going on, Aioros?"
"You're in trouble, miss. And I come to scold you before Saori does." When mentioning the name of the goddess, Sira became extremely serious "It's time to end this behavior."
"But... what I did?"
Sagittarius placed the bag Kanon had given him on the table, the same with the tupper containing Catra's food and the apple for Milo:
"This has caused a lot of trouble, Sira. You can't change things for Shura before a mission, the other backpack was vital and as a future Saint of Capricorn you have to begin to understand that this isn't a game and that when it comes to missions ... just an error can be life-threatening."
"I'm sorry… I didn't kn..."
"Don't interrupt me, please, this conversation isn't for this mischief... you cannot decorate his gold cloth, nor paint his face or launch water balloons treacherously… Shura is your Master and we're losing many time in fix your mischiefs." As Aioros spoke, the girl's face gradually darkened and ducked "So, promise me that you will not misbehave again."
Sira nodded slightly, looking at the ground to hide behind her bangs:
"Promise it, Sira."
"I-I promise... Aioros..."
That day, Sira locked herself in her room and stayed there until the dinner but barely wanting to eat anything. However, Sagittarius only needed a glance to make her finish the food. It seemed that his words had finally calm on the girl although they had also ended her chatty and restless humor.

The clock said four in the morning when Shura finally entered the temple of Capricorn after three days of absence and a mischief that almost cost him the honor and mission entrusted by Athena. He hoped that Aioros had put order in his place so that, he had promised himself not to treat Sira in a bad way when they saw each other, it would be difficult for him but deep down, he understood that the girl was like that and hoped that with time, she understood the gravity of her destiny as Gold Saint.
Shura walked in the dark through the corridors that led to his home inside the tenth temple, reached the wooden door and moved the handle so as not to wake anyone. However, his surprise came when he discovered Sira sitting on a chair at the kitchen table, with all the lights off but staring at a tupper:
"S-Sira ... what are you doing? Please, tell me isn't a mischief aga..."
"It has vitamins…"
"Huh?"
Aioros also made his appearance in the place quickly by noticing movement and the light in the kitchen. He barely paid attention to Shura's arrival since the girl's mouth began to move to take with her words the breath of those present:
"Catra's food... has vitamins, I read it on the package and... And the apple, Milo didn't eat it ... Do you hate me now for this? Will you return me to Spain for that?"
Suddenly they both understood what Sira was trying to tell them and a small piece of their hearts seemed to crack: The contents of the food that Shura and the others were to bring to the mission didn't look very good, but it was necessary; Sira had interpreted that this wouldn't help them to feed for three days, so she went to Catra's food, which seemed to give her strength for a whole day, and added the apple to Milo because she knew it was his favorite dessert. Precisely that gesture, hadn't been a mischief:
"Gods..." Shura sighed, kneeling down to catch up with Sira "No one hates you, darling. Come here."
Capricorn hugged her with all his might as a couple of tears rolled down his cheeks. The girl also began to sob, martyred for having angered so many people for her menu change:
"I'm so sorry, Shura... I promised Aioros not to misbehave again."
"That's very good. Don't worry about it... I'll never could to return you to Spain again, do you trust me? I really love you, Sira." The girl tried to look at him, holding on to his words to stop crying "Hey, don't cry, I got you a gift."
Aioros couldn't believe it, Capricorn took a thick black marker out of his pants pocket. It was simple, very simple, but it was enough to illuminate the girl's face. Shura uncovered his curious gift and painted on Sira's face the characteristic mustache with which he got up almost every day:
"I'm glad to see you again."
"Me too, Shura."
The girl then grabbed the marker and drew another mustache for her big brother, that time it was special so when her feat was over... she turned to Aioros and then, stared at the spaniard, waiting for his approval to finish her mischief Nº 35.
