Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 11

(hallway)

Anna (in her mind while walking): Telling me off once again. Sometimes I am busy and forget to go but I mainly skip the appointment since there's no point in going.

(outside walkway)

Anna (while the wind blows): A nice cool breeze on a sunny day. (in her mind after remembering) Now that I think of it. I don't remember the last time I had a day off.

Lilly (from a distance): There she is. Anna!

Anna (see Keith and Lilly after turning around): I thought we were meeting at the canteen.

Keith (wearing a fresh soldier outfit): We were heading there but someone spotted you.

Anna (walking with Lilly and Keith): I'm not surprised. Lilly always had sharp eyes to notice someone without them knowing.

Lilly: So what is everyone planning on eating?

Keith and Anna: No clue.

Lilly: Then we can look at the menu together once we get there.

Anna: There's no point. I'll just let the chef pick.

Lilly (look at Anna): You need to stop that. Before you always picked your own food but after becoming a lieutenant you've become lazy.

Anna (sounds down while looking away a bit): I'm not being lazy. It just doesn't feel the same picking what I want to eat.

Keith (in his mind while looking at Anna): I can tell that she's hiding the true reason and it's not because of her rank. Then just for today why not pick?

Lily (look at Keith): You're not helping.

Keith (looking at Lilly): Lilly remember you can't force someone. You can share your opinion but Anna has decided what she wants.

Anna (after doing a quiet sigh): Just for today. I'll pick my own food. However, we should hurry before I change my mind.

Lilly (smiling): Okay.

Keith (in his mind): I can't wait to see what's on the menu.

(sunset Anna bathroom)

Anna (after entering the bath without her blindfold and having her eyes open): It felt nice eating with everyone on a relaxing day but it felt weird picking my own food. (in her mind while leaning on the edge) Earlier I knew Lilly wasn't mad at me but past memories make me hesitate. However, with Keith, it felt like he was around but at the same time, I know it's not him.

Suddenly Anna felt a presence so when she looked she saw that same stranger that was behind her in the morning. However when Anna stood up the stranger disappeared.

Anna (in her mind): It happens again. After Keith woke up I've been seeing things.

Keith (in Anna's mind): Are you alright? I sense your magic rise.

Anna (in Keith's mind): I'm fine. I just thought I saw a ghost.

Keith: Don't catch a cold.

Anna (while getting out of the bath): Just make sure to get some sleep.

Keith (Anna put a towel on): That's my line.

(night Keith room)

Keith (in his mind while lying in his bed wearing temporary pyjamas): Maybe what you're seeing isn't just a ghost.

(next day morning hallway)

Anna (after opening her door holding her blindfold and a hat): Sorry I overslept.

Keith (stands properly wearing his soldier outfit): There's no need to apologise. We still have time. (smile a bit) You look very different wearing that outfit.

Anna: Umm. Do I look weird?

Anna wearing a white shirt with no sleeves, a black coat that has long sleeves but it's zip to the chest, short black leggings, a black skirt and black ankle boots that have a hidden zip on the side with white underneath and short heels.

Keith: You don't.

Anna (puts a black uchikatsugi with a white veil on): I don't leave the base much so I get nervous wearing something besides my uniform.

Keith (follow behind when Anna starts walking): That's alright. (notice) Why are you wearing a uchikatsugi instead of your blindfold?

Anna: I thought it be a pain to keep tying up my blindfold when I needed to take it off to drive. I'll show you how to drive on a different day.

Keith (next to Anna): Then I can drive us while you can keep your eyes covered. (look at the veil) However, you can't see much with a veil.

Anna: I don't wear it much since it's not easy to see but it comes in handy when I want to give my eyes a break from using the blindfold.

Keith: So do you wear a blindfold every day?

(outside walkway)

Anna: Yeah. Whenever I'm not in my room or if I'm not alone in the captain's office.

Keith: Well now that you have me around. I can do some of your work so you can have breaks to take your blindfold off.

Anan: You don't have to do that.

Keith: Your everys will hurt under the light if you keep them covered for a long time.

Anna(after sighing): I'll let you know if I need a break to remove my blindfold.

Keith: You give up so quickly.

Anna: That's because I started to notice you say things for my sack. (look ahead) There's the storage where we keep all the cars but don't worry there are vehicles that aren't used for battle.

(near the gate entrance)

Soldier (after stopping in front of a black two-seat coupe car): Stop!

Soldier two (after walking to the left side): Can you roll down your window?

Anna (wearing black sunglasses after the window went down): Nice to see you doing your job.

Soldier two (and one salute): Food morning mam.

Anna: Good morning boys. Do we have the clear to leave?

Soldier two: Yes. (while soldier one talks to the walkie-talkie) I'll see you taker mam. Have a good day.

Anna (closing the window the gate opens): Don't work too hard boys.

Soldier one (after Anna drove off once the gate fully opened): It's rare seeing Lieutenant Anna leave the base.

Soldier two (after returning to where he stood while the gate closed): She deserves a break. Thinks she's taking that demon?
