Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 84

Makoto (after a screen appears in between them): I had a feeling you two would be together.

Anna (looking at the screen): Are you calling because of the meeting?

Makoto: That's right. We'll be waiting for you in the meeting room.

Anna: Alright. We'll meet you there.

Keith (standing after the screen disappears): I'll be back once we're ready.

Anna (in her mind while standing after Keith left): Time to put my lessons to use.

(hallway)

Anna (while walking with Keith wearing her Queen outfit): So what can our rings do besides using a keyboard and chatting to each other?

Keith (wearing his battle outfit): First these rings took some of our blood DNA so other people can't use it.

Anna: No wonder I felt something cut my finger a bit.

Keith: Second we can only call each other and because of yesterday's battle both our magic are linked so we can find each other without using magic.

Anna: This might be a dumb question but why do our rings have to be on our left hand but not on our right hand?

Keith: When a couple is gifted a matching ring we have to put it on our left hand meaning we're taken but not married. However, if we were going to be married then we would have our ring on our right hand.

Anna (walking ahead a bit while blushing): I see.

Keith (in his mind smiling): I think she's embarrassed.

Yurei (after appearing near Keith): Lord Keith I have some news to tell you.

(meeting room)

Yukimaru (while Anna enters with Keith): Good morning.

Anna (while walking to her seat): Good morning everyone. (after sitting down having Keith standing next to her) Before we begin the meeting we just got news from Yurei. The Shadow King just announced that they'll be attacking us tomorrow.

David (while Anna turns into her royal appearance while the room turns red): That's soon.

Sabrina (standing on the opposite side in her physical form): You think we're ready?

Anna (smiling): I already have a plan.

Makoto (after a hologram chest appear): Why is there a chest board?

Anna (while the black hologram chest piece appears): The Shadow King has his army organised between Pawn to King however (while the Queen chest piece disappears) since the Shadow King doesn't have a Queen we won't add that to the board.

Yoruichi: So what is our rank on the chessboard?

Anna: As the leader (while the White King chest piece appears) I'm the King while (at the same time a Queen chess piece appears) my Queen Knight is Keith.

Keith (confused): Queen Knight?

Anna: According to vampire battle strategies they create their own chess pieces to describe what the person is. (smiling) Of course, you'll be by my side so that's why I name you that.

Sabrina: Combining human and vampire strategies isn't a bad idea.

Anna (while Knight chess pieces appear): My Knights are Yukimarum, Makoto and Sabirina. (while a Rook piece appears) My Rook is Yoruichi. (while Bishop chess piece appears) The Bishop will be Renji and David while the Pawns are the soldiers and lieutenant.

Renji: So what are the differences between the chess pieces from Knight to Pawns?

Anna: The Pawns are weak but we won't be using them as tools so you must try to protect and guide them well. A Bishop is a person who mainly deals with magic in support, healing or defending. Rooks are people with crazy strength who can hold out on their own. While Knights are quick on their feet being hard to touch.

Yoruichi: So Sabrna won't be with you?

Anna (while the hologram changes into a layout of the area): She'll be mainly helping you all. (white and black King chess piece of the Shadow King and Vampire Queen move to the middle) Of course, Keith and I will deal with the Shadow King. (while the bishop goes to the building) The bishop will be staying at the base. (at the same time the knights and rooks appear in between the front line and base) The knights and rook will be dealing with the Shadow King army having (at the same time three groups of pawns appear behind) command of the pawns while defending the base.

Yukimaru: Renji what do you think of Anna's plan?

Renji (smiling): For her first time it's pretty good. Anna ranks us on our specialities in combat. Luckily I and David can easily be away from the base to help out plus we have worked together before.

Yoruichi: We all did before picking our go-to partners.

Anna: I can easily see why you all work together in groups of two.

Yukimaru: Leave everything to us. You and Keith relax and spend some time together.

Anna (standing): There's no time for that Yukimaru.

Makoto: I agree with the general this time.

Yoruichi: You two have been so focused for this day. You need to rest your mind and body so please take today off.

Keith (after touching Anna's hand while standing next to her): Let's take them up with their offer.

Anna (after sighing): Fine. (smiling while returning to normal having the red effect disappear) You guys win. Thank you.

David: See you later.

Renji (after Anna and Keith left): Thank you Keith for stepping in.

Yoruichi: I bet she wanted some time with Keith but as a leader and a Vampire Queen they both know their relationship has to be put aside.

Makoto (leaning on his chair): It's sad but their bond is also their strength.

Yukimaru: That's true. Without Anna in Keith's life, he might have travelled alone and died.

Renji: The same could have happened with Anna dying by saving every single person but who could help her when she's down?

Makoto (after clapping his hands): That's all in the past now.

David: Let's get back to getting the final stuff ready since we now know our jobs in this war.

Yukimaru: That's right.

(Forest)

Anna (riding a horse while wearing her outside outfit): Keep up Keith.

Keith (jumps over a tree after Anna while wearing his outside outfit): What do you think I'm doing?
