Book One: Chapter Nine: Sibling Rivalry and The Fight Ahead

Last time, Ren made a surprise visit to HQ. Everyone was happy about his visit except our heroine, Kaoru, and her friend Ally. He seems familiar with Aoi.

After Ren left, everyone saw my face. Aoi looked at my worried expression. What do want to eat today? Aoi asked. If you are offering to buy me lunch, that's sweet of you. I replied. Look, he has a heart. O' Prince Charming you are. Ally replied. Don't think too much into it, Ally. I replied. Why not, you're getting a free meal? Ally asked. You are right. I replied. Rumiko smiled. I hope Rosalite isn't strict as Captain Yukimoto. Jay replied. She and Yukimoto are cut from the same cloth alright, they are both can terrify when they demand respect through words or fear. I replied. No, I am not like Yumi. Ally replied. Ally don't even pout because it won't work on me. I replied. You are right, you can't just use fear controlling others. You sometimes have to use force. Mariah replied. Wait, you are Mariah Himaya? Katsu replied. You are right; I figured as much. After all, Yumi is strict when needed. Mariah replied. She picked up on some of her mannerism. Mariah replied. No wonder she is so demanding. Katsu replied. Don't say such hurtful things. Ami replied. You know, using fear controlling is wrong, you two. Kaori replied. Oh, hey Kaori, what are you doing here? I asked. Why do you talk to all these heroes as if they are just like people you are familiar with? Aoi asked. See kid, Kaoru and the annoying brat of her brother know us through their mother, Megumi Shura. Kaori replied. Wait for thee Megumi Shura. They know her for swordsmanship she is an Alpha-Class fighter and mage. Rumiko replied. I want to meet her. Rumiko replied. She's here today. Ami replied. Well, we have a really boring meeting to go to. Ami replied. You guys just met Kaori Higashiyama, Mariah Hiyama, and Princess Ami just now. I replied. The popular ladies were the heroes of their time? Tomoe replied. Not all of them didn't start out great overnight. They perfected their skills. I replied. Didn't you train Kaoru and Shinji? Ami asked. Yeah, the swords of Invidia. I heard no one has ever used them and lived. Rumiko replied. Not true, Shinji and I are alive. I replied. You talk so calmly about it. Tomoe replied. Not really the training was the pure definition of hell. To make it worse, they divided the swords into classes in a way. Shinji and I possess the Empress collection. The seven sins and their weapon are powerful enough to conquer a country with ease. Ally replied. The magic of those swords is powerful. If you don't practice and master, it will drain your body. Don't play around, Ally. You possess the sin, too. Aoi replied. We all start talking and getting along. Little did we know what will happen next.
