"Father, I will depart now." A female with shoulder-length snow hair that covers one of her eyes and bunny ears, lightly bows to a towering individual wearing thick armor with a wendigo-like face.

"..." The individual doesn't say anything as he watches the female walk out of the building, "Take...Care..." He finally says in a gravel voice.

The female stops before glancing back, "I will." She resumes walking but as she passes by the door, she mutters, "I am your daughter, after all."

The individual stays still while facing the door before lowering his head a bit then turns around to walk deeper into the building.

Outside, the female bunny walks to a tent nearby and enters it, only to see Talulah standing right in the middle.

"Talulah."

"Frostnova."

With their greetings done, they settle into looking at each other, with one glaring and the other blankly staring. Eventually, Talulah breaks the silence.

"Are you sure about this...?"

"Yes. Due to the fact that you aren't in control of yourself. We had already discussed about it."

"I can control myself, just give me more time until-"

"Until what? Whenever you tried to give out orders, you would always flinch and change your words. Like I said, a tug of war between you two."

"Yes but I am winning."

"...Sorry, but... I can't trust you like that, not after that incident." She turns to leave, "Goodbye, Talulah."

"Wait! Please don't leave me!" Talulah extends her hand while taking a step forward, until she freezes in place. Her eyes slowly lose light as she sees Frostnova getting out of the tent.

"...Kashchey. You will regret that."

As Frostnova walks away, she mutters, "I swear I will find a way to help you." Then she looks around, "Where did she put everyone?"

"...You know, I have mixed feelings about this."

"Hmm? Which part?"

"...The fact that my squad is full of guys and my soulmates. Oh and Atalanta and that joker girl."

Kal'tsit's mouth twitches a bit, "Just, think of this as an experiment in regard to soulmate. We have too few documents related to it, so we need to... Test it out."

"That... Makes sense. Though, I don't expect for there to be male soulmates of mine."

"Doesn't hurt to try."

"I... Never mind."

Ashura and Kal'tsit talk to each other while standing in front of a bunch of people, composed of familiar and unknown faces to the former.

"So, I got three defenders and snipers each, three guards and a caster and a medic..." He sees Atalanta hugging a small female with pale silver hair, wearing an eye patch and a hat, while rubbing her cheeks against the latter. The small female is looking around, silently pleading for help, yet she quickly gives up when she sees no one willing and accepts her fate.

"Yes, I believe this is enough for you to complete the commission. If it isn't, then just leave the commission. We can always get money, but lives are more valuable to us. Yours more so." Kal'tsit places a hand on Ashura's shoulder while slightly smiling.
