#18 Welcome ! New Subordinate

The sun has risen once again yet I still don't have a chance to break my bones right after that battle on the night. Mrs. Colonel really punishes me for stealing her special firearm even after I success using it to catch the rat. Even though, I do have Nera on my side, and I sometime use her help once after a while I am fed up with the report to switch and sleep. Still, it feels like there's no end to it.

Nera is still asleep around my office room yet the document is still half way to go to be done. I thought this world is done with the turmoil but somehow the chaos is still lurking around the globe and so many people requesting for support to fought against the evil. Punishment like this somehow has so much benefits and it help me understanding what is going on in this world after my long absence.

"Huft....."

Still, having a subordinate seems going to make everything easier and will makes me cooler than ever. Am I regretting for letting Herr Mann go ? Absolutely no, since I am going to take full responsibility of my action and words. Though, restraining people for ones sake is a bad thing and I absolutely forbid. I choose to letting them free and let them carve their own path.

*shrivel* *shrivel* *shrivel* the sound of Nera unconsciously moving her body while sleeping.

Oh? Only one minutes left before 5 o'clock in the morning. I see, her morning routine absolutely started from 5 o'clock. Whenever she choose to sleep, whatever is going on with her condition, she still awakes from 5 o'clock. For now, since it is only thirty seconds left, she started to shaking and feeling discomfort with her sleep.

Three, two, one.... it is exact five o'clock.

"Huh! Duuhhh...." Nera's noises when she wakes up.

I can't believe I guess it right. She does really awake at five o'clock and start doing her stretches before starting the day. Guess, I am way too much underestimate her and think her as my own daughter since I don't have one. But come on, I am still 28 and my mind goes 35? I think I am much older than I should.

"Having a nice dream?" I ask her gently.

"No way I can! I just fell asleep an hour ago and now I can't sleep anymore."

"Why?"

"If I were asleep now, I might awake for another day until it hit five o'clock in the morning again."

Just as I thought. "Well, isn't it great? You may serve your master even better with that quirk."

"You may right.... but." she then turn her head and showing her face. Unexpectedly, she had a bad eye bag right there. "I don't want you to see me like this every day. No! I don't even want you to see me like this." she then stand up and leaving my office.

"Oi! Don't be depressed like that."

"I am not. I just want to wash my face."

She left. I guess it is normal for a girl to be much careful on her looks before could interact with other people. Appearance is a crucial thing for a woman or even a little girl like her even though she came from The Witches race. Well, it is just something for me who's former of the witches haters now become the witches friend.

*rubble* *rubble* *SLAP !!!* *rubble* *rubble* noises from outside my office.

Suddenly, a ruckus occur outside of my office not long after Nera's leave. It so noisy outside and makes me hard to focus. I wonder what's happening outside but somehow I didn't want to know either since it is going to be something extraordinary and beyond my imaginary.

*knock* *knock* *knock* someone knocking my door.

Then, I allow whoever in front my office to enter. Unexpected, it is Mrs. Colonel and her servant Majordome who's knocking behind my door and visiting my office. I immediately stand up and put my right hand on my left chest then bend my body a little, salute toward her.

"Mrs. Colonel, hope you had a great day today." I greet her.

"Yeah, I had a great day already." answer her. "Though, I am not going to play around here any longer since I had something to do obviously. But this man will."

Right behind Mrs. Colonel, Herr Mann appear in a full The Tower's uniform set. He look neat in those uniform, standing high and straight like a true soldier forged from the scratch to the veteran. But then, as I look at his face, he has a deep blue handprint on his left cheeks. He smile at me, looking for a good relationship after being slapped so hard by my most trusted subordinate, my servant.

"I am sorry for the intrusion earlier. The name's Danjo Oden. I am looking forward to the cooperation, Captain Abraham Huraira." Herr Mann introduce his new self.

I am excited that Mrs. Colonel giving him a new name, new clothes, and a new life as I said.

"Abra, from now on, he's going to work under your command. Let's say, he is your first subordinate and your future. Take care of him, will you?" said Tania.

"If that's your decision, I'll gladly accept him as my subordinate."

"Good, I'm waiting for your next achievement then."

Suddenly, out of the blue, Nera came back from her personal affair and launch her fist right into his face. Fortunately, Mrs. Colonel is there and stop her attack just before she hit the newcomer. Mrs. Colonel then fold her arm and pick her up like a log, ready to saved into the log house.

"Then, I am going to take my leave and borrow her for awhile." said Mrs. Colonel.

"Wha-- Noooo.... I am yet to serve my master a single cup of tea." scream Nera.

"Shut up." Tania close her mouth tightly with her hand. "Oh yes, one thing, soon we will meet again with him."

"May I know the detail, Mrs. Colonel ?" I ask her.

"Interrogate your new subordinate. I've done giving him the detail." her answer while leaving my office.

Somehow, I'm pitying Nera for being trapped once again by The Colonel. She seems need my help to break free as she being held by her hand but I just can't help her other than wishing for her safety and smiling along her absence. Mrs. Colonel and Nera seems so close on each other like they were family or so, thus Mrs. Colonel is her auntie I'd say.

Not long after I enter this company, my life is getting brighter and brighter as I proceed to fight under The Boss command. This new life of mine, I enjoyed so much. There is no better place to live other than under The Boss command. Her words back in the night doesn't change even after five years separated.

"Ah yes, newbie. As your first task after joining my division, I order you to make a coffee for me thus your tutorial soon will begin."

"Understood, captain."

"Oh also welcome, Danjo Oden."

First impression is crucial. I need to show my domination to my subordinate so he could put a faith on me as his new superior. Though, Herr Mann or Danjo Oden is a diligent soldier from the start and a neat person in my opinion. I then start my punishment again and decide to not to give him this kind of burden at his first day.

Thus, the peaceful life of mine start again.....

Isolated under the big city, hidden among the civilization, a man imprisoned beneath the city by The Tiny Devil right in the main sewers where there are not many people come and strolling around. The most abandoned place among every corner of the city. He sit and wait patiently without even moving a single muscle.

Then, a sound of foot stepping echoing around the sewers. The man open his eyes, he finally could meet the one who threw him into this shallow abyss. Though he had another unknown visitor, he completely ignore that one visitor and focusing more to her.

The man sharpened her gaze. But suddenly when he see the one who is beside her, the man shocked and almost losing his composure. Even though, he keep his calm and steadying his hand so he could keep hiding his fear and think rationally.

Tania The Tiny Devil and her companion get inside the light who surround the imprisoned man. Her companion wearing a freshly made battle fight armor exclusive from The Tower military special forces. An armor in western maid style from top to bottom created to give high acceleration and agility. With advanced hidden magic technology, the maid armor dedicated for the future of the witches.

Her companion who uses the armor has a beautiful dark blue hair, red agate eyes, and has a rather unique pair of eyes. From her appearance, the man immediately suspect her as one of their people yet somehow he had a feeling that he also wrong. Using his magic vision to detect the other magic flow, he sees what he shouldn't have seen.

"Yo, loser. Enjoy your staying?" mock Tania.

But he didn't answer.

"Seems you like it." Tania then smiles. She tilts her body then introduce her brand-new product, "This outfit created to support our races. Using an advanced and excellent technology this armor provides, I hope we could entwine a contract and cooperation together again." offer Tania.

But after hearing her offer, he still didn't want to answer.

"Then, a demonstration would do."

In a quick motion, a surprise attack launched from above Tania's head. A little girl with twin katana on her hand and giant great katana on her back try to slice Tania into three pieces. She spin in the air then strike Tania with both of her katana. But her companion already aware of her attack, she block her attack using one of her leg and launched the girl far away.

Knowing her attack going to be blocked and she launched so far, the girl actually has completed her role. With her quick motion, she able to cut the cage into pieces and release her master from that small prison. The great katana on her back is also has been passed to her master and now it's on his possession. She holds her posture then prevent the crashing damage after being launched so hard. She then clinging in the wall like a spider for a moment then falling eventually.

The man hold the sword tightly, standing on his fighting stance, then quickly draw the sword and swing the sword as fast as he could. After swinging her sword rapidly and powerfully, he put the blade back into its scabbard.

Suddenly, the ground where he stand cracked and then destroyed. He fall into the depth of the sewers, the same as the little girl. Tania's companion trying to catch him but suddenly stopped by Tania herself.

"Enough, we have accomplish our objective here. Let's retreat."

To be continued.....
