Silence resounds in the surroundings making Noire drop sweat
Noire whispers to Kallen
Noire: did they let down their guard?
Kallen: nope
Noire: this is going to be much more brainstorming to do...
Noire is thinking to make the awkward situation not go worst when silence has been broken by the victims
Theresa: Tell me what is your name?
Noire: my name is Noire... And with me is my student Kallen
Theresa: I see... It seems we had a misunderstanding so I accept the apologies
Noire: Well I apologize for destroying the bunker so let us excuse ourselves
Noire whispered to Kallen
Noire: let's go back up I don't want to deal with a suspicious group
Kallen: I agree with you there
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Theresa: Noire and Kallen...
Seeing the barrier is backing away
Theresa: wait!!
Dokutah: What are you doing?!
Theresa: I think they can become allies
Dokutah: they can but without reputation in hand they surely will not ally themselves, also they are strangers
Kal'tsit: I agree with Dokutah... We shouldn't let anyone mix because they have a high chance to betray us
Theresa looks at her two close subordinates
Theresa: trust me on this
Dokutah and Kal'tsit can reluctantly agree with Theresa's stubbornness
Noire: what is it?
Theresa: I have a proposition and including the damages you cost us
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noire: I knew we should run instead of backing away slowly... I destroyed their shelter so it's normal to ask for compensation
Kallen: I think the hatches are very cheap
Noire: production cost, labour cost, material cost it isn't cheap
Noire: it's probably 2M LMD...
Noire: means I will become poor again
Kallen: didn't you have over 30M LMD?!
Noire: projects are expensive to make and I haven't started yet
Noire: I need at least 5B LMD to make the foundation of my operation
Kallen: what are you making?
Noire: winery, Lab for weapon making, forgery, Lab for chemicals, vehicle factory, bar, a computer room, a test site, and also a bedroom
Making Kallen look blankly at Noire
Noire: what? I'm an ambitious person just because I'm a wanderer doesn't mean I will continue to walk around like a lost sheep
Noire: I will build my pen then I wander around
Kallen: I guess I'll support you whatever you will do
Noire: that's supposed to be my line...
Kallen: it's mine now
Noire just sighs and answers back to Theresa
Noire: okay! But first, put the guns down
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After hearing that Theresa ordered her group to lower their guns
the group lowered their guns but they remained alert no matter what happened
footsteps have resounded in the stairs but the crimson barrier prevents them to peek at who is on the other side of it
the person is already on the floor
the barrier dissipates revealing a short girl that has long pale blonde hair that almost reaches to her heels, blue eyes, wearing a white hoodie that has and shorts that covered her knees... in her back is a red sword that has a Ruby red eye that emits hostility and its entire body is glowing in faint red
her companion is a girl that has long white hair and blue eyes wearing a standard school battle dress that has been designed by the humankind
Noire: then how to repay the debt?
Theresa: take a seat first...
Noire and Kallen take a sit at each other but what is surprising is that they didn't feel tensed at all even they entered an unknown group
Theresa: very well that compensation is very simple
Theresa: Let's join arms
Noire: why?
Theresa: my group is planning to create a group organisation and I need manpower seeing your strength makes me want to hire you
Noire: planning already?
Noire: I'm not sure why are you telling me this though... I don't know what is the catch though...
Theresa: I can trust you...
Noire: based on?
Theresa: instinct
Noire facepalms and looked at the surrounding people
her group seemed sweat dropping after hearing that
Noire: the best thing I could do is give you my number and call me if you need me to do stuff but Kallen is out of limits because she will still have to go to school
Dokutah: Fair enough...
Kal'tsit: Closure you can save this girl's number for future contracts
Closure: Yes!
Noire gives her number for Closure
Noire: that's all?
Theresa: Yes...
Noire: you guys are weird... but in a good way
Noire and Kallen leave the room making the tense atmosphere dispersed
Dokutah: you are too kind for your own good Theresa
Theresa: I'll take that as a compliment
Kal'tsit: still... what are we going to do now? because the door is destroyed
Closure: there's still a second door... good thing I only closed the first ones
Dokutah: we can continue our next step to build a base and also we need someone that can deal with barriers in the future
Theresa: I agree...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noire: that's unfortunate we didn't get the thing we need but being Hired as a mercenary?
Noire: I guess that's fine... I get money anyways
Noire looks at Kallen who suddenly becomes upset since then
Noire: (Are all the female humans are this easy to get mad?)
Noire: Did I do something wrong?
Kallen: nothing...
Noire: (Nothing?!!! then don't be upset!!!)
Noire: *sigh* I guess it's about accepting being a Mercenary
Kallen stayed silent
Noire: look... you are going to school or a training camp soon and I'm pretty sure you can't get out of the facility until you have the permission of the establishment
Noire: Mercenary work takes days to finish even months and I'm pretty sure it will drag your grades down because you aren't present in the school
Noire: that's why I can't let you go with me
Kallen: you said you won't going to leave me...
Noire: I won't I can travel around the world in just an hour to be fair and instantly finished my work but they will probably assign me to groups so I can't do anything about it
seeing Kallen being stubborn once again
Noire clenched her right hand...
Noire: *sigh* here
Kallen: Hmm?
Noire: this is my gift for mastering the External and Internal Manipulation of energy Im sorry its late
it's a white bracelet that has pink streaks on it and has a red-letter of Kallen's name
Kallen: looked at the bracelet and looks at Noire
Noire: If you put your energy onto it I can appear anytime
Kallen puts energy into it making the bracelet shine in pink contour
Noire: I'm already here though...
Kallen: thank you... I will cherish it
Kallen smiles brightly
it isn't a metaphor she radiates light due to an unknown phenomenon
Noire immediately looks away
Noire: so bright
