Nana signs the paper " Garlis."

Garlis takes it " understood." And leaves the room.

Edness : I'm so grateful you did as you promised.

Nana : I know when to do what.  Don't worry.

Edness : I'm not that petty either. Stay as long as you want. Even forever!

Nana : .... Erm... Ok ?

" Great ! " And she leaves. Garlis follows suit. Except Shadow Demon.

Nana : still here ? You're back here. You can do whatever you want.

Shadow Demon: staying still ? After signing the divorce.

Nana : you think I'm thick faced ?

Shadow Demon: I'm just afraid it'll be hard on you

Nana : you're sweet. My family stays far from here. In here.... At least I can pretend I have a family. Well ! Got to do impossible things tomorrow. Night. Shadow Demon.

Shadow Demon nods and closes the door as he leaves.

The next day what she did was first go visit someone she knew a long time ago. She hoped he would see her.

She stood outside the big doors of the military barracks.

A different soldier than the one she saw earlier came out. He had higher rank " You're Nana Hailarose right ?"

Nana smiled " it's been long since I've heard someone call me that name."

" Really? " He led her in " what do they call you now then ?" He opens the door of the car like a gentleman.

Shadow Demon: Miss.

" Right. Don't worry. We have plenty of cars. You ! Get another vehicle here."

The soldier nodded and drove the one nearby over.

Nana sat in the one she was invited into " well... I'm recently divorced. Till then they called me ... Lady Nana Yaerren."

" I see. " He closes the door and the car starts up driving to the further inside " I'm Colonel Rein by the way. "

Nana : nice to meet you.

Rein : so. You miss the army ?

Nana ; ..... Can't say I do. My team disbanded.

Rein : we're very different people then. I'm here for Lieutenant General Ania. I would miss the army a day I'm not here. Worried for that man. He sometimes can't take care of himself.

Nana laughed " is that so ? He doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Rein ; just between you and me. Lieutenant General Ania is a better fit for... General.

Nana : there are reasons why he is where he is

Rein : that I know. Houses and all that.

Nana ; probably not only that.

Rein ; you think ?

Nana ; you're very comfortable talking to me. Not afraid I'll tell someone else ?

Rein : it's ok. I mean , you're not a soldier anymore. What harm can you do.

Nana laughed " there's that."

Nana bows " Mr Ania." She looks at the old man who has now gained a little bit more age.

Ania ; oh. You brought a strong bodyguard. That afraid of me ?
