Ashes of the fallen: Bound by the flame

Chapter Six: A soul for a soul

Third perspective:

"And so when we finished up the lower rank devils, the suspect was nowhere to be seen"

Elroy stood straight, his foot pressed together as his posture was straight. Clearly, he took the woman in front of him in high regard. While Rui was behind him, sitting on the sofa meters away from them. Their captain could only give a small smile, her smile as gentle as always before replying.

"No worries! You two actually did a very great job in killing hundred of devils!"

Kairi gently replied, her tone being honest. Clearly she meant her words about two of her top 10 members, the woman clearly trusts them enough that she didn't even dare to ask any further questions or doubt them.

She put pride and confidence in her friends strength.

"Captain you spoil them too much"

An unfamiliar voice spoke up from the door, revealing a woman with dark red hair and light green eyes. She wore a revealing black outfit, while a BDE badge was hanging on it. Another woman was beside her, she held a more concerned and worried look than the fierce woman beside her. The petite woman had pink hair, resembling cotton candy itself.

Disdain evident on Elroy's expression as he clicked his tongue in annoyance. Out of the other remaining top 8, why the hell did it have to be those two? Don't get him wrong, he doesn't mind the pink hair girl but for the red haired...?

Momoka Ayame: One of the top 10 of Squad 2. She's very well known throughout the Bureau for her fierce and stern attitude to everyone. Although, they can call her "wicked" or "rude" but no one dares to call her weak or ugly. Her absorbed devil:
Devil of Illusions

Mitsuru Natsumi: One of the top 10 of Squad 2. She's known for being the closest one to Ayame and for her humble introverted personality. Although, When it comes to the battlefield? It's like you're looking at a whole different person. Her absorbed Devil: Devil of light and darkness

"You speak as if you could've done it easier, Ayame"

Rui spoke up, attempting to defend their name. Even though he used a gentle and smooth tone, the red haired woman glared at him sharply. And so the man could only raise his hands up as if he was surrendering to the cops.

"Well I could have!"

Ayame confidently yet sternly replied, crossing her arms together in a serious manner. Even though she isn't the captain, she's the most pissy one about the mission of apprehending the suspect. Natsumi who's beside her could only let out a deep sigh before grabbing the woman's arm, pulling her away from the office.

"We apologize!"

Natsumi quietly stated, bowing her head slightly before completely dragging the taller woman away. Honestly, for someone so small she actually has the power of a bear.

Elroy could only run his temple in annoyance before walking towards Rui, sitting on the sofa beside him. Though he sat at the end of the sofa, making them have a huge distance between them. If Hiroyuki were to see them causing such a fuss earlier at the Captain's office, then they might have their asses beat up already.

"Ha...it surely is lovely in my office these days"

Kairi remarked, attempting to lift their moods. The captain gently smiled, clearly trying to convince the two that they did a great job. Well they truly did, fighting a hundred devils in one hour was amazing, it shows their stamina and endurance in long term battles.
