"the day is today." Tomoe looked up to Shoko who had been finishing a few of her task at her table. she put aside her own work as she maintained her usual smile.

"what do we have to do usually ?" Tomoe asked, trying to get a brief explanation of her position during the Kyoto Goodwill Event.

"well... first, we're going to introduce ourselves to each group of participants so that they know who to refer to if they get badly injured. we're also at the frontline but they're all fighters, so our part in this event quite scarce. however, we still need to focus." Shoko said, giving her a short glare who always seemed to take things lightly.

although, she could never forget the image of Tomoe tearing up when Yuuji was in a life-and-death situation.

well, she was an ordinary human, after all. that was her first emergency experience.

"i see.. children from kyoto is here, you say ?" Shoko looked at Tomoe from the corner of her eyes, a 38 years old woman who looked like a teenager, calling them 'children' where people could mistaken her as one herself, with that exotic hair and eyes, a choice adolescent would choose to dye.

she sighed. why did she has to deal with child-like full-grown adult ?

Tomoe kept smiling as if she had fun teasing Shoko with her presence.

"let's go, Tomoe. we don't want to make them wait." Shoko said, raising from her seat followed by Tomoe who just obeyed her superior without any subjection.

they first went to the Kyoto students as they were the closest one to the office. walking next to Shoko, Tomoe looked just like a student who just enrolled there as teacher-student intern.

it looked like Shoko had done more job than Tomoe helping, which was what literally happened.

"hmm ?" Iori noticed the two approached the Kyoto school building.

"ah, Ieiri-san !" Iori said with a smile as she recognized one of them as an old friend. Shoko smiled at her way.

"and..."

"you can call me Tomoe." Tomoe said casually, her hands were in the white coat.

"she's an intern under my wing. she'll be assisting me in any emergency."

"ohh, that's good for you ! you've been working alone all these time." Iori said with a relief smile, knowing how she was the only person that had to deal with experiment and medical at a same time, even eyebags formed under her eyes.

"yeah..." Shoko said, knowingly what actually happened.

"the kids are in the room. they just finished holding a meeting with the principal." Iori said as she opened the door, and all the students turned to look their way.

"hello guys, as usual, we're going to introduce our medic throughout this event." Iori said, ushering both Shoko and Tomoe inside.

"as you already know, Ieiri-san will be the one you have to refer for any emergency regarding your health." they all bowed down to Shoko as a greeting, then, their eyes all went to a certain pink haired female.

"and we have a new medic in line-up." the teacher introduced her.

"hello guys, my name is Tomoe and if anything, you can refer me." Tomoe gave a tiny wave with a friendly smile towards their way.

they all bowed down at her as well.

well, all but Noritoshi Kamo.

he felt his blood raging through his veins at the sight of Tomoe. eventhough it seemed that the lady did not noticed him, but the boiling blood inside of him telling him, she had to do with what was happening right now.
