Minato sat peacefully in a chair in his apartment's balcony that over looked one of the prettier streets of Nagazora.

Minato leaned against the edge of sliding door and took a sip of his favorite brand of coffee, savoring its taste.

It was a beautiful sunny morning, Minato noted as he looked at the cloudy skies. There were no signs in the sky that it would be raining soon. Minato sighed in contentment as he took another long sip of his coffee.

He grabbed a newspaper and began to read it.

"Oh?" Minato murmured. "A condo project by Theresa? I wonder how will that go."

He skimmed through most of the contents in the newspaper, looking for something interesting else to read only to find none.

Disappointed, he set the newspaper down and finished the rest of his coffee.

He swings open the sliding door and went inside.

So far, the morning was filled with nothing but positivity and peacefulness.

Yet at the same time, it was boring.

With nothing else to do and bored out of his mind, Minato decided to distract himself by cleaning his room.

He opted to use the vacuum cleaner as he plugs it in, and turns it on. He starts to use it, making sure to get every spot of the room.

He makes sure to vacuum under the kotatsu, since he is worried about what he might find there, after weeks of not using it. After a while, the room is pretty clean.

Now feeling satisfied, Minato decides to prepare breakfast for himself and Sirin.

As Minato was preparing breakfast, a loud slam can be heard from the distance.

Minato swiveled around, turning to look at the one who did it.

'Ah, there's that familiar glare that my day was missing.'

"Really? Couldn't you have knocked first?"

He looked at her with disinterest for a moment before going back to making their breakfast.

Sirin scoffed but didn't say anything else.

"I demand that you give me something, human."

Minato stopped.

"Hmm? Can you repeat that? It seems like there's something wrong with my ears today." He lied obviously with a mischievous grin on his face

Sirin felt her cheeks begin to heat up.

"I said that I want something from you human!" She angrily shouted, the walls reverberating due to her making a great deal of noise.

"Alright, fine." Minato opted to stop teasing the Herrscher, lest she does something drastic to him in the near future. "What do you want?"

Now seeing that he was serious, she relented.

'Let's see if you keep true to your words, human.'

"I want you to give me back my kin, Bella."

Sirin demanded, but underneath that bravado she put for herself, Minato could see the tiny cracks in her expression when she mentioned Bella.

"Consider it done." Minato replied instantly, although he didn't know who Bella was, he has an inkling of who she's talking about.

'There were only five people who Sirin could be talking about all of which are pseudo-Herrschers and her friend. But if Sir Welt is to be believed then, there is only one person she could be talking about...'
