Soshiro Hoshina is a busy man, despite his carefree nature he actually has a lot on his plate. With his position as the Third Division Vice Captain, he needs to manage a lot of things such as training new recruits, filing paper works, training at the earliest of morning, fighting kaijus, and beefing with the First Division Captain.
He also has his own responsibilities as a son that came from the Hoshina clan. Proving to his family that he could become a great defense force officer like his father and brother and for that to happen he also needs to consistently push himself so that he won't be compared to his older brother, Soichiro. Since his older brother is the golden child and was deemed far more important than him, their family pushed the responsibility of marriage to the youngest son.
And Soshiro is running out of excuses to brush off the marriage suggestions coming from his family. He already has a lot on his plate and not to mention, he doesn't want to experience any sort of heartbreak when getting into one. He doesn't want to think of the idea that his possible significant other would die because of Kaiju, or he doesn't want to imagine the heartbreak he would cause in case he himself dies because of a Kaiju. He is a Vice Captain after all.
Speaking of his older brother, the male had just sent him a single text after so many months of not communicating with him.
It was a single winking smiley face.
Soshiro's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the screen of his phone, the one small gray message bubble of his older brother the only thing that was sent by the said male.
“I somehow had a bad feeling about this.” He muttered as he turned off his phone and slipped it back into his pocket. Sighing to himself as he placed back the wooden swords he was using for his training back to the cabinets inside the training room.
He hums to himself, “I have a feeling that it's related to the new officer coming this week, taichou said they are transferring from the sixth division,” He thought, he can already imagine his older brother's mischievous face.
“Hoshina Fuku Taichou, Ashiro Taichou is looking for you.”
A familiar dark brown haired girl with large circular glasses on her eyes says, Okonogi panting softly as her hand gripped the door frame of the training room.
Soshiro grins, his canines poking out slightly from his lips.
“Okonogi-chan, what seems to be the problem?” He asked, placing a hand over his hip.
The Operations Leader just looked at him, recomposing herself and readjusted her eyeglasses.
“The new transfer just arrived and taichou wants you to be there in her office to meet the new officer.” She said and Soshiro tilted his head slightly in confusion.
“My... I didn't expect the new officer would be here so soon,” He thought with a small smirk before looking at Okonogi, “Let me wash up for a bit, tell taichou I'll be there shortly.” He instructed and the girl nodded before quickly leaving the room.
“I wonder what yer up to, nii-san.” He thought with a smirk before shrugging as he left the training room to go and wash up.
He finally got himself cleaned up and already changed in a fresh set of uniform, he was about to enter the Captain's office when he felt his phone vibrate inside his pocket.
He fished it out and saw that his older brother just sent him another text.
“Take care of her, Soshiro. I'm sure you're gonna like her>;D” Is what Soichiro texted him and he can only look at his screen with furrowed eyebrows, “Her?” He thought before scoffing, “Don't tell me he's playing cupid,” he muttered, clenching the phone in his hand slightly, “I swear if father got him to do this because they want me to get married, I am going to be so pissed off." He thought, frowning to himself before scoffing.
“Whatever, I doubt this girl is going to change my mind when it comes to romance.” He thought again as he took a deep breath to calm his nerves down, for a brief moment he hesitated to open the door. Despite how annoying his older brother may be, Soichiro's words often do not lie—unless when it comes about keeping promises for helping him train, that man is lazy and would rather die than help him.
“It's probably nothing, I'm probably worrying over someone not important.” He reassured himself.
Soshiro just sighs, his hand gripping the doorknob firmly before twisting it and pushing the door open.
Only for him to freeze in his place, his heart skipping a beat as he looked at the unknown woman standing beside the Captain. Long pink hair with green ends neatly tied into three braids, lively green eyes, and a brightly shining smile.
For a moment, everything slowed down for Soshiro. Stunned at the woman in front of him. It took a lot of willpower not to fall into his knees as he looked at the gorgeous woman standing beside his Captain.
“Oh wow.... So that's what my brother meant.” He thought, ruby like eyes fixated on emerald like ones.
“There you are, you sure did take your time.” Ashiro said, snapping him back to reality.
“I would like to introduce you to [Name] Kanroji, she just transferred from the Sixth Division.” She said and the girl next to her just smiled brightly at him, making Soshiro squint his eyes more than usual.
“So bright.” He thought, squinting yet his grin never leaving his lips.
“I will be placing her into your platoon, Hoshina.” Ashiro said and Soshiro just nodded absentmindedly, too focused on the new girl, “Hai,” he answered.
“Eh?! So this is your Vice Captain?!” [Name] says excitedly looking at the purple headed male, “So this is Hoshina taichou's younger brother! Kyaa! He's just as handsome as him, the Hoshina clan really does have good genes!” She thought, blushing slightly.
She quickly walked up in front of the male and held his hands with her own, “Nice to meet you! I am [Name] Kanroji, please take care of me!”
Soshiro had to summon all of his willpower not to faint at that moment. Dotted eyes blinking animatedly at her, “Uh, yes! I'll make sure yer going to fit right in, Kanroji-san.”
Ashiro looked at the two, a knowing look in her eyes, “I see what you're trying to do, Soichiro.” She thought in amusement, clearly the first time seeing his Vice Captain to be so flustered.
She cleared her throat, “Hoshina,” she called out and Soshiro looked at her and saluted, “Hai?”
“How about you show Kanroji-san around the base? Get familiar with each other as she will be in your platoon.” She said and Soshiro nodded, “Alright, please excuse us.” He said and she nodded, the two gave the authoritative woman a salute before excusing themselves and left her office.
