Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 80

Yoruichi (after Yukimaru put two small boxes on his desk): What's this?

Yukimaru: I had these gifts made for Anna and Keith.

Makoto (after Yoruichi took one box): When should we give this gift to them?

Yukimaru: I'll leave the timing to you but for now keep it hidden.

Makoto and Yoruichi: We understand sir.

Yoruichi (smiling): I think it's pretty cute. So give it to us straight are you showing that you accept the relationship between our little sister and her boyfriend?

Makoto (look at Yoruichi): Why would you say it like that?

Yoruichi: Because since we're kinda like family Anna is our little sister since she's the youngest so it makes sense.

Yukimaru: What Yoruichi said was right. What I saw from my bloodline is that once a member of your family is devoted to staying together with the person they like. Someone gets them two promise rings that look alike. Once they put them on the rings will link with both their magic.

Makoto: So it's a protection charm?

Yukimaru: Yes.

Yoruichi: Well general. I wish you luck on your meetings. I think it's time for us to go back.

Makoto: Alright.

Yukimaru: Safe travels.

(sunset desert land base Renji office)

Sabrina (in Renji's mind): Nice work you two.

Renji (in his mind after stretching while sitting on his chair): I feel bad making Anna do most of my work.

Sabrina (while Renji looks at Anna sleeping on the sofa): Anna enjoys doing your work because while you went out she told me she wished to do this more often. However, Anna knows it's impossible.

Renji: She has the license for protection to support us but Anna must be thinking about what she planning to do.

Sabrina: I have a feeling Keith and Anna are making plans without us knowing.

Anna (sitting up after opening her eyes): When did I fall asleep?

Renji (smiling while looking at Anna sitting up): I think you overused your brain.

Anna: Well (while stretching) I couldn't stop myself but to continue filling out your work. Half of them were just about building parts. I made a better copy and added a few ideas that your base could use. (notice) I should head to my room and pack.

Renji (screen appears when Anna stands up): Your bag I asked to be prepared is in your room. I'll ask the chef to cook you something before you leave.

Anna: Thank you. (walking towards the door) I'll make sure to come back to say my goodbyes once I'm ready.

Renji: Okay.

(Anna's room)

Sabrina (spirit form (watching Anna put her things in a backpack while sitting on a chair)): Why not put your things in your magic storage?

Anna: Because I just feel like carrying my things. Plus it was nice for Renji to sneak in a snack for me.

Sabrina (while Anna closes the bag): Aren't you going to change your clothes?

Anna: Not yet. (while putting her bag on) Any news Yurei?

Yurei (after appearing): No. The Shadow King hasn't made any moves.

Anna: And what about Keith?

Yurei: Still has no sign of waking up.

Anna: I see. You may return to him. Please keep Keith safe.

Yurei: Of course.

Sabrina (looking towards the window after Yurei disappears): Almost time to leave.

Anna (walking to the door): I know.

(night Renji office)

Anna (after entering): I'm back.

Renji (standing behind his chair leaning on the wall near the window): This will be the last time we meet until we get news on where our headquarters will be for the war.

Anna: Thank you for all your help.

Renji (walking to Anna): I'll be going to Makoto base since my work here is done.

Anna: Is Makoto struggling?

Renji: He's not but I feel like you'll be at ease if someone else besides Yurei keeps an eye on Keith.

Anna: Thank you.

Renji (hugs Anna): Make sure Yoruichi doesn't tease you so much.

Anna: Don't worry it will feel nice spending time with a girl after you know.

Renji (after flicking Anna's head): What are you done hanging out with boys?

Anna (while the phantom appears behind her): Of course not. (when she touches the phantom) Goodbye for now Renji.

Soldier (from the screen that just appeared on Renji's desk after Anna disappeared): The helicopter is almost ready.

Renji: I'll make my way there now.

(snow mountain forest)

Anna (appears wearing her winter outfit without her hood on): It's so pretty at night. (look at the sky) Yoruichi is so lucky to look at the beautiful sky. (in her mind) So this is how the cold feels with a demon body. (immediately turns around holding a sword after hearing a noise at her left side) Who's there?!

Yoruichi (walking into the light): It's me, Anna. That phantom brought me here while making my way back.

Anna (while her sword disappear): Sorry about that but where did you come from?

Yoruichi: Makoto and I were suddenly called to the general headquarters but after the meeting, we decided to chat for a bit while having dinner.

Anna (walking towards Yoruichi): Oh. Looks like someone went on a date.

Yoruichi: It wasn't a date. (smiling) Follow me. The helicopter isn't that far away.

Anna (follow Yoruichi when she starts walking): Right behind you. (in her mind) Did you give Yurei an update on his orders?

Sabrina (in Anna's mind): I did. He'll be returning to the shadow realm once Renji arrives but will visit once every couple of days.

Anna: Thank you.
