"Paimon is stuffed!" Paimon says in content while Aether hummed satisfied with Yuu's incredible cooking. "Glad you like it" Yuu smiled warmly. Slurping the noodles, your mouth bloated at the amount of food that was in your mouth. "Yuu's always a good cook" your comment made Yuu a bit flustered, shaking his head from side to side lightly fanning himself. "As much as I love compliments please avoid talking while your mouth is full" he scolded while you rolled your eyes in response.

"Thank you again for the food. Y/n, we'll be leaving tomorrow morning" Aether says while you nod you head in response. Swallowing the food you gave him a grin. "Got it". Yuu quirked his brow in confusion. "Excuse us for a moment" Yuu then grabbed your wrist dragging you into a random direction. Satisfied, he stopped while you pulled your wrist from his grasp. "What was that for?!" you shouted, infuriated having to be dragged like a rag doll. "I should be asking questions here. What did he mean by leaving?" Yuu crossed his arms over his chest, lightly tapping his feet on the ground.

What the fuck was this guy's problem?

Angry at his odd protective behavior, you stomped on his foot making him yelp in pain. "What your tone. Getting comfortable with me that you forget I'm still your boss. Now I'm just reminding you to know your place!" you exclaimed pulling him by the collar causing him to choke a little. "Y-yes Ma'am" he managed to wheeze out. "Good". Releasing him, he gasps coughing slightly trying to catch his breath. "Gosh, I almost forgot that you can be cruel" he chuckles under his breath while you stare down at his pitiful state. "Here I thought you're having fun but you still seem tense as always M'lady" taken aback by his comment, your brows furrowed grimacing at the idea.

Fun? I'm supposed to be on a mission. I'm not supposed to be having fun. "What are you trying to say? Speak." you demanded in a strict tone. "If I may, ever since you got to Inazuma you seem to be more lively. It just makes me happy to see you finally living for once" taken aback at the statement. Taking a step back your brain were filled with so many questions.

Happy?... Am I truly happy? Is it because of Emilia being here? Away from that brat? What's happening to me! This isn't a vacation. Have I gone soft?

The last thought horrified you at the sudden realization. No it can't be, you can't risk to be exposed. You're supposed to be flawless. Nothing but a weapon who's purpose is to obey their master's orders. "M'lady I know you're overthinking this but please, rest for a little, have a breather. Enjoy your stay here. You might think that exposing your true feelings is weakness but it isn't" snapping out of your trance you look at Yuu who was staring at you in care that it made you almost melt at your place. Kneeling down and caressing your hand. Kissing the back of it. "I beg of you please" he says ever so softly, pleading and begging.

Quivering, your eyes closed as you played with his long black locks. "Fine, but just this once my dear assistant" litting up at the answer he tackles your leg into a hug. "Oi! Get off of me" you exclaimed trying to pry him off of you.

"No! Ow!-"

"Bye sissy safe travels!" Emilia says hugging your waist while you pet her head head. "Don't miss me too much okay? When I get back I'll make sure to bring you lots and lots of gifts sound good?" kneeling in front of her to boop her nose causing her to giggle. "I would love that sissy!" hugging your neck, you smile fondly hugging her back. Little did you know Aether watched, a sad look on his face as he remembers his sister.

"I love you sissy, see you soon!" she cheers.

You felt your heart swell. A warm feeling overtaking your senses. You didn't deserve her, you truly didn't. You wanted to cry but stopped yourself. Sniffing, you gave her a shaky smile before standing up a bag under your back. Turning around you faced Aether and his companion with a kind smile.

"Let's go-"

"Wait!" Yuu shouted causing you to jump a little at the sudden outburst. "What is it now?" ignoring your snarky tone he pulled you towards him before handing a paper towards you. "Her majesty gave you a new mission. Ditch the gnosis part you're back to being the executioner" he whispered beside your ear making sure to lower his voice as much as possible. Your face turned dark in a speed of light. God you hate that wretched job.

"How much?"

"100 million mora"

Satisfied with the price, you pulled the paper from his grasp. Swifly hiding it in your bag, you walked away before running towards the two who was waiting patiently.

"What was that?" Paimon asks, sticking her nose towards other people's business. Why must she be so nosy? "Oh, he just said that I should be careful along the way" you answered.

"Wha-"

"Paimon, again with the questions"

"But-"

"No"

The two continued arguing while you watched in amusement. Chuckling from time to time before your bubbly aura fell as you took notice of the paper sticking out of your bag. Frowning, you stuffed the paper inside the bag a bit more before smiling as Paimon came to talk to you. Whether you like it or not, you need to get used to this.

Examining the paper, clenching the paper so hard to the point that your fingers turned white. After Emilia's incident you gave up on being a debt collector. Her majesty wasn't pleased with the decision but still gave you another job... Another title that soon carved your identity. La Executioner they call you. As a person who inflicts punishment, her Majesty gave you an opportunity to only kill those who deserve it. Killing people who are a threat to the fatui in exchange for mora. Not daring to rebel with her Majesty's expectations and wishes you obliged her orders almost immediately.

Clenching your jaw, your eyes examined a man beside his wife in the picture. Boredly examining their information you crumbled the paper with ease before throwing it into the fire, the paper soon turning into dust. The wind howled around you as you relish hose the skin hits your skin. At that same moment, a figure looked up towards the sky, troubled. Mumbling something under his breath he looks around trying to find your whereabouts.

"I'm getting impatient"
