Minna and me start our day like normal, doing paperwork in the morning and having lunch together.

Minna - ' Eila could you come to my office later? '

Eila - ' Yeah sure. '

Minna gets up to go back to her office. I follow behind her. We have alot of paperwork to do today, as it piled up from the night missons and the up coming award ceremony for Erica. Alot of things need to be signed off on as soon as possible. 

Remembering the next major events coming, I think of a way for Sakamoto to still effectively have a defence and fight still. Maybe an automatic sub-shield would work. That would work, I begin thinking on how to properly make it.

Later in the afternoon Sakamoto comes into the office with a letter. She gives it to Minna.

Sakamoto - ' A letter came in, the courier said it was important. '

Minna - ' Did theu say who from? '

Sakamoto shakes her head no. Minna looks back to the letter and opens it. She slowly starts readding it, her expression shows some surprise and then she hands the letter to Sakamoto.  She also shows surprise on her face, then hands the letter back.

Minna - ' I was expecting her to decline, but for her to agree and bring another witch with her. Im very surprised. '

I tilt my side to the side in confusion. Minna then looks over to me and smiles.

Minna - ' Beurling agreed and shes bringing another one of her old teammates. '

Ashley - ' Really? Wow whos the teammate? '

Minna - ' She didn't say. Just said she was visiting on down time and decided to come along. '

I nod my head in acknowledgment. Then a knock on the down catches all of our attentions.

Minna - ' Come in. '

The door opens and Eila comes in. She looks a little uneasy. She comes up to Minna's desk. She also takes a few side glances at me.

Eila - ' You wanted to see me? '

Minna - ' Ah, yes. I feel that you and Ashley are uneasy with eachother. Care to explain why that would be from your perspective? '

There is some panoc on Eila's face. Her body visibly tense.

Eila - ' Well, umm... I got confused at first. At first I thought sh... I thought that Ashley was trying to take me away from Sanya, but after a certain incident I realized that that wasn't the case. Day by day I sorted out my thoughts and concluded that I do care for her. I messed up so much, everytime I try and talk to her she escapes and avoids me. My magic is useless against her, so I can't find her that way. Just recently I managed to apologize. Although I never got to tell her how I really feel she left half way through. '

My eyes are burning, I really want to go over and hug her. Her eyes also have tears in them. Its really getting hard for me to hold back. I feel the gaze of Minna pass over me and settle back Eila.

Minna - ' Do you know what happened after your talk last night? '

Eila - ' How, I never said about it being last night. '

Minna - ' Because I had to stop her from doing something stupid. She tried to drown her self with a bottle of wine, the full thing. '

This caught both Eila and Sakamoto by surprise as they never thought that would have happened or took that route. I still feel ashamed from that so I tilt my head down to break eye contact.  I hear someone try to get closer to me but suddenly stop.

Then I hear another person get up from a chair and make their way to me. Then a familiar scent enters my nose and calms me down. I snuggle deep into the the pair of arms. After a short amount of time another pair wrap around me from the other side. That scent is also familiar but brings sad feelings that are coming and going. After some time they both break away from the group hug. I feel a little lonely and cold after their warmth left. I look back up and see Minna and Eila standing beside eachother just in front of me. I break into a smile and tackle both of them to the ground. We all laugh and then we get back up.

Minna - ' Ashley, you and Eila go join the other girls for dinner. Me and Mio have somethings to discuss. '

Both me and Eila nod and walk off to the dining room. It feels weird, its like the relationship between me and Eila is weird but I don't seem to mind it anymore. 

When we enter the dinning room everyones attention is on us, then I remember our eyes are still red from earlier.

Ashley - ' Both me and Eila got called to the Commander's office. Due to oir poor performance. Me and Eila are being transferred. '

I look over to Eila as she look at me. Then a glint in her eyes, she follows my lead.

Eila - ' Yeah, so we will be leaving soon. Two witches other witches will take our place. Let not dwell on that though, let enjoy ourselfs till the last day! '

Everyone looks shocked and is in disbelief. I look over at Erica and she looks back to me and gives a smile.

Yoshika - ' What! Thats not fair you are both way better witches then me! '

Erica - ' But Miyafuji, Eila doesn't use shields and Ashley almost never goes into combat. '

At this moment both Minna and Sakamoto walk into the dinning room.

Minna - ' Alright listen up girls, there will be two witches joining us within the week, so I expect you all to be on your best behavior. '

Lucchini- ' Hey! Hey! Its true Minna is kick them out! '

Yoshika hugs Lynne, Lucchini dives into Shirley's breasts. Erica jumps into Barkhorn's arms.

Erica - ' How could you do this your tearing our family apart Minna! '

I glance over to to Minna and Sakamoto to see them fully confused on whats happening. Then Minna looks over to me and Eila. We both look away and avoid eye contact.  I hear a few other girls who caught on earlier try to not laugh.

Minna - ' Hoooooh. I wonder who told them such a lie? '

I look over to Eila and see her near Sanya, it looked like they were in a deep conversation since we got here. I look back to Minna, and she looks so angry that its like the god of death is right behind her like a stand.

Ashley - ' Hahaha... Lets not be hasty Minna... '

I quickly point to Eila.

Ashely - ' Eila did it! '

I then break into a run. I hear the sound of a professional athlete behind me. The rhythmic sounds of running step quickly gaining on me. Then a hand catches my should before I can make it out of the dinning room.

Minna - ' where do you think you going? '

The collar of my uniform is tightly griped and im dragged back to the table for dinner.
