Chapter 9 Decision and Compromise. Cont. 9
Reflexively I ready myself to jump into action in case something went wrong. And from the corner of my sights I see the others' body tense up up well ready to move. But just like me they held off opting to put our faith in Rinji-kun. Rinji-kun had made it clear--more like from his interpretation of his act of 'abandoning' us--that we don't trust him. But it was quite the opposite. Trust is an infallible tether in a group where your life is always at risk. And we knew his leaving was the best thing for him, and his return from death gave him solid grounds to exit the Agency. It only just felt we were negligible when he left without so much as a word. It was understandable is someway since it wasn't obligatory. Our tension easy ever so slightly when the flames didn't seem to cause Inyx any pain. Instead that aura of lethargy that clung to her like skin seem to diminish just barely. Her continence eased up just enough to see a little change in her presence as thou

Getting affirmation Yasagawa-san returns her gaze my way. "Please make some space." I directed my gaze to the others but Inyx. With a nod they back off spreading out to for a wide semi-circle. As she moves to join the others Yasagawa-san wonders at me, "... Just for clarification, what would you be doing to help Inyx?" Joining them she turns facing me. "... A contract." Her brows furrowed, wearing a skeptical look, suspicious at the rather unexpected answer. Well, a contract in itself seems irrelevant without fully understanding the process. I could see the confusion and worry in the other two as well. Ro has a rather thoughtful expression, probably having an inkling to the reason behind the contract, after all this is under his area of expertise. "You see," Sheepishly rubbing the back of my head I begin. "I'm not sure myself, but I was told because of her power growing too much, her body isn't able to han

"I'm home!" I enter the house, echoing my arrival, "And with guest." As I move my shoes I head the gentle thuds on the floor drawing near. "Welcome home, Rin." I turn towards the voice, mom walks into the corridor and gave her a wide smile. She hasn't changed a day. She stopped a few steps away in all her perfection, in her housewife apron. Long straight light brown hair, light gold eye color, thin lips, cute nose, not too slender body, and and and... [*Smack* I gave my thoughts a hard smack.] "I did it mom! I finally did it! I got it!." I hurriedly got up careful not to shake the cat as I turn to face mom and with a gentle lift to gesture to the sleeping cat. "It's just that she's been injured and is out of strength." I added feeling heavy. "Oh my~" Noticing the cat she wore an amused smile. But her expression dulled hearing the last part, "How sad." Another voice followed up. "Rinji, Mom, who i

Part 2 . You know, with piracy and streaming platforms being a thing you'd ask how Kofu's Eye Candy make end meet. Well the answer is some people do still prefer Blu-ray over streaming, old souls if I may. I am kindred. It doesn't mean I don't watch from streams but I prefer the solid material--If you get what I mean~. Well, we know most of the funds comes from the adult section, but there's the light novel and manga section as well. I wouldn't say they fly of the shelf as they come, well with exception on release days--it's enough to keep things running. And today was like any other day at Kofu's. Those in need for their materials came by and I billed them at the counter before they went their way. It was somewhat slow yet quiet enjoyable. With the free time--practically every other time there wasn't customers--I grabbed an easy to read novel or manga. Thanks to that I've got a quite a few under my belt. [They say if y

Reaching into my pocket I say to my not so new secretary, since he's been in at this close to two months now: "You can go now."Pulling out my phone to answer Teiji give a small bow."Then excuse me, Director."He turns leaving.I answer the call, "Hello~"As you would expect the first voice that came was the de-facto leader of the others after having received the footage of Rinji's request."Why are giving that boy such freedom?" His tone plain as can be."Come on. You all should know by now. That boy isn't who he was before. You should already know of his recent feats. This right after his 'reawakening'. And this time we need more personnel I'll take what I can get." As I speak I hear the door click shut."Why listen to such baseless request from a child? You know full well how much resources you wasted into the girl. Her ability is unprecedented. In as much as it looks it doesn't fall into the known category." Retorted another."And to wha

Now behind the door the breath I didn't know I was holding, came out in a sharp exhale. That was a real rollercoaster--not that I've ever ridden one. The tension was palpable. It felt like one slip would have just ruined everything and I might have had to take a harder route. However since I'd already come forward I'd be the first and sole suspect, resulting in a whole lot of mess. By the way did I mention how drenched my back ways. I was too preoccupied with the talk that I didn't realize. That was stressful. I need a rest. ~Haah I want to cry. ~Yasagawa-san let me rest on your front pillow to wash all my stress away~ . Sigh... Let's just return for now and get to kufo's I move away from the door finding my way back to the Platoon HQ, practically ignoring the passing comment more than the first time I came through that their chatter and footsteps only registered as faints. With a habitual knock I o
