The drive back to Kurayamiya was quiet,during the ride inside it was silent no one dared to even say a word, in the car Shuren was still smoking her cigarette as it was some sort of tradition for her.
Even an idiot had to be curious on how cigarettes are always there.Does she always have a box or two ready? It's really a mystery. That's when they all arrive at the agency, Tasia parks the car close by while Sévon and the others take their bikes to the garage at the other side.
Then they all entered inside Pixia was in the middle of reading her daily magazine. That's when she saw the door open and saw the others enter.
"Oh you guys are all back, that must have been a good job." Pixia said.
Then she saw something and everyone was a little bit down in emotions. She does not understand that everyone is quiet for a minute. It was really confusing for Pixia.
"What's with you guys you all look down on the weather, was the mission really that hard or am I just dumb?" Pixia asked.
Shuren walked forward to Pixia at the receptionist table of hers holding the unconscious Mya, her face still calm and still smoking.
"Don't worry that much, nothing that fun went down." Shuren said.
"But with all of you looking like this it's really hard to believe ya know." Pixia said with a faint sight of worry in her face and voice.
Shuren gently grabbed Pixia's head and brought it to her chest, this gesture finally made Pixia calm down. Shuren let go and nodded to everyone signalling that the calm down method worked yet again. Sévon and the others nodded back and they all left, but before leaving Shuren gave Mya to Sévon and gave him a glare that told him what to do and he started walking with Mya on his shoulders.
Assad was still confused even with what just happened. They are all pretending like it never happened. The entire mission was all chaos instead of just a rescue mission even if it did fail without a doubt it did fail but still they act like nothing happened they just continue with their daily lives as if nothing went down.
"Assad."
Assad looked up at Shuren's direction, his face still filled with sadness but trying his best not to show it.
"Let;s go to my office. We have something to talk about and it's going to be a long one.Shuren said.
Assad looked at Shuren first then he nodded, they started walking to her office and it was silent. Both of them were quiet, it was like that until they reached her office Shuren was the first to enter. She opened the door carefully then went inside. Assad wanted to follow but it felt like something was stopping him
'What will we be talking about anyway?'
"You'll understand when you get inside the room."
That caught Assad off guard for a bit but then remembered that yet again his flaw it actually started to annoy him as how many times has he forgot about his flaw.
"Sorry about that but it's human for someone to ask themself what the talk between the almost employee and his employer will be about so don't judge me okay." Assad added with a calm smile.
"Tryna act like you're a sweet talker, not happening even for you." Shuren added.
"That's okay so what are we going to talk about?"
Shuren goes to her seat, pulls the chair, sits down and rests her feet on the table.
"It ain't much but also it's very much."
"I'm lost."
Shuren removed her feet from the table and sat up straight. Now she is sitting like someone fitting for the boss position even though she is not.
"Ugh forget it you wont catch on, anyway the reason I wanted to talk to you was because of this job that we were doing. I know you have many questions that you want to ask and so I'm your answer box right here."
Assad smiles as all of his questions might finally be answered. He has so many g does not know where to even start which one should he ask first.
"But before that I'm putting in a limiter."Shuren said, raising a finger,"you will only have three questions and that's all."
"Wait what?"
"Yea only three and that's all. I know I just said I'm your answer box but I am not answering that possible thirty four to forty questions that are flying in that skull of yours. So it's in your best opinion to only choose three good ones that are also answerable as well."
Assad looked at Shuren with widened eyes and his mouth also open, he had so many questions but could only choose three of them and also how did she just know that he had almost forty questions that he had prepared for her.
"Okay you're right so only three questions am I correct?" Assad asked.
"Yes, only three and that's it." Shuren added.
Assad grabbed his chin, what could be the questions that he needed the most right now. He does want the history of this parallel world that could help him to adapt faster but then there is another, the thing of Qi and Kaku what are to systems of power doing and how are they colliding with each other Shō did use Qi on the helicopter which was strange as he knows only about Kakurei as Shuren explained. More and more questions keep rolling up like what are the Sweepers and what do they actually do?
Assad let go of his chin and looks straight to Shuren's direction looked like he had finally decided on the questions.
"I have the three questions."
