"It was confirmed that my cells show compatibility with one of their versions of a numbers weapon in the American base." She stated rather bashfully with a smile that reached her eyes. Giving a quick glance to Narumi, clearly boasting, which earned an ugly glare from the man.

The image of the girl suddenly overlaps with a memory of one guy that he absolutely cannot stand. Narumi cast his gaze away with an annoyed shiver. "Don't make that face, you make me wanna beat you to a pulp." Narumi grumbled and looked away.

"Bitter." Yuuki whispered under her breath but also just enough to reach a certain Captain's ears.

Yuuki cleared her throat and looked at Chief Shinomiya before saying, "Experiments are still underway for the prototypes of the new specialized weapons and combat suits. Further research and testing is also advised before any official use of the said American numbers weapon, although I have already received a go signal for it."

At that, Chief Shinomiya looked up from the papers to look at Yuuki in the eye, "I believe you already know what I want, Officer," Yuuki stiffened as she stood, "show me results, Shinomiya Yuuki."

Yuuki inwardly grimaced at the phrase she heard after a long time which she very much does not miss.

She clenched her fists and nimbly saluted the Chief. "If there is nothing else, may I be excused then Chief Shinomiya? I'd like to rest after that long flight." She bowed and quickly turned around, headed straight for the door.

"Narumi's division is scheduled for an afternoon training in gate 004, I expect you to be training along with the other members." Chief Shinomiya's imposing command froze Yuuki's steps. "I have just said to show me results. What do you think resting would do to this country if you aren't in your top shape while on duty?"

Chief Shinomiya's words irked Yuuki to whip her head towards him. She tilted her head slightly in confusion, "I understand Chief, all I am asking is for a few days of rest as I had just got back, home." Emphasizing the last word she looked at the other two men in the office with them, eyes asking what was happening.

Chief Shinomiya sighed and stood up from his seat, "Narumi, Yuuki will be in your care this afternoon, I trust that you will help her adjust to how we do our work in the Defense Corps."

Narumi protested loudly at the order, "HAH?! I don't want to! Too troublesome, I ain't the Captain of my division just to babysit." Narumi rolled his eyes at Yuuki which set Yuuki off.

"Excuse me, but who said I want to be under your care? I can take care of myself perfectly without your lousy excuse of help, thank you." Yuuki argued, annoyance clear in her voice and face. "And don't pretend you didn't hear what I just said to Chief Shinomiya."

Narumi, being the prideful first division captain that he is, resorted to a barrage of insults towards Yuuki which she returned determined to one up him.

Hasegawa sighed at the two bickering figures yet felt slight relief knowing that there are things that won't change that easily. He can see as clear as day how the two, despite seeming that they can't take each other's presence, they still get along. Hasegawa glanced at the Chief's dissatisfied expression and with a drop of sweat he cleared his throat and held the two rowdy officers at the back of their collars and split them apart. They had come face to face in that short time they started arguing.

"Enough of that. Both of you." Hasegawa scolded, "Narumi, we have work to do, so let's go and stop buying time like this to avoid it." He turned to the Chief and voiced out his opinion. "Chief Shinomiya, I think having officer Yuuki rest for a few days would also help her get accustomed to our processes and all."
