Successful Job 5

That's why this extended interaction will help in not only analyse 'that' feeling, but also why is he respected that much by the redhead.

"Ok," said Naruto with a thumbs up and a big smile. Mira nodded in victory at that.

"Excuse me, Mages. Sir Roy called for your presence in an hour." Said an assistant, knocking on the door.

"Yes. We will come," replied Naruto and turned to Mira, who was too happy to respond. With a nod, they both prepared for the day and when they finished all their morning routine, they walked to the Board's office.

The office was as beautiful as ever and it reflected the same colours when they first came here. They reached Roy's office and waited for the man to call them.

He called them soon and Naruto and Mira entered a similar setting, but there are more people now than before. 4 more people in the same Board dress and symbol, which Naruto didn't care about.

"Oh, my. You are right, Roy. It is the Destroyer himself." Said one of the men and Roy nodded.

"Mr Naruto, Ms Mirajane, please meet the directors of the Lacrima Control Board of Joya. You have been called here for verification and dispatch," said Roy, turning jovial to serious.

"Please put all the Rara and other Lacrima you mined here. Can you also give us a summary of what happened?" Roy asked and Naruto nodded.

As all the work is done, which was informed by a few workers that were left in the mine, Roy is looking forward to seeing the results. When they employ normal people, extraction of all Lacrima will take at least a month and Rara Lacrima are to be handled with care.

But from what the workers informed him, Naruto dug everything up in just a week and the employees only found very few Lacrima left that they brought them here.

If it was efficient, they would have hired a mage to do this long ago, but to employ locals, they retain from doing that.

Naruto pulled out a large scroll and as soon as he channelled a small amount of his chakra, with a puff of smoke, a large crystal appeared in the middle of the office.

"This is the batch of Rara Lacrima and I found quite a few of these which were put in similar containers." Explained Naruto as everyone was gawking at the huge crystal.

"Yes, yes. Thank you. Can you please submit all the Lacrima you mined for inspection? We want this to reach Era as soon as possible," said Roy and Naruto nodded.

He gave all the Lacrima he mined to an assistant who approached with a bag to take them. After the assistant left the office, he jerked Mira to continue.

"I found some monsters around the forests of the city and resolved the threat. They were the reason for the missing of your employees.

They were burnt to not give them any chance to attack again." She said curtly. Her explanation was not like a report, but the men in the room are far too distracted to notice that.

"Yes, yes. Such bravery and courage. We all thank you for your help. After all the Lacrima is graded, they can be taken to Era. According to estimates, it will take 3-4 days. You can rest till then. You can leave," said Roy, concluding the meeting. With a nod, Naruto and Mira left the meeting area.

They didn't ask about the security breach that occurred when Mira's blast almost hit the protection barrier around Victoria, too happy to point that out.

Forests around Victoria

Naruto brought Mira to the outside forests of the city so that they could train uninterrupted. They were in a clearing that was near the ex-headquarters of those demons.

"So, how are you feeling?" Asked Naruto.

"Better if you would tell me the reason for all this," she said with a huff.

"Well, didn't you ask for training? That's what we are going to do. My way," said Naruto. Mira didn't like his last sentence but agreed.
