"Where's the trio?" Said Edward as he looks around the place to find the blond, red head, and black haired girls. The girls came in running, stopping before Edward then catching their breaths.

"Where have you three been?" Asked Edward.

"Finishing up our mission.."Said Miyako.

"I got another one for you." Said Edward.

"That's..ten in a row already.." Said Momoko.

"Can we rest up?" Said Kaoru.

"Sorry, y'all got to go." Said Edward," plus it's your training."

"I thought we did our training?" Complained Kaoru.

"You did, but seems like you girls are out of breath when doing ten missions." Said Edward," Also I don't understand how you can be out of breath when you're going to be traveling back here on horses. That would've given you more time to recover."

"We always get attacked on our way back here." Said Momoko.

"Then you have time to recover on your way to your next mission. Get going ladies." Said Edward as he turns away from the girls,"it's northwest of the town, nearby by a river."

The girls stomped out the hideout then on their horses, going to the location.

"Uuugh.." groaned Kaoru.

"Don't worry. Our missions is far away so we have plenty of time to recover." Said Miyako.

"I just want to be able to breathe! It's been about 5 years since we lived here, learning about the country. All the good food we ate so we have to work off our fat butts." Said Kaoru.

"Our butts ain't fat unless Edward tells us to workout." Said Momoko.

"Oh yeah..Momoko, have you tried to confess to Edward?" Said Kaoru.

"W-W-W-WHAT?! WHY ARE SAYING SUCH A THING?!" Yelled Momoko as her face turns red.

"Momoko, you do remember that Edward is like around his 30s?" Said Miyako.

"I do. It's just..whenever I'm about to ask him something, he's reading letters with a smile.. so he probably has someone." Said Momoko.

"Confessing won't hurt you. It'll make you breathe again. Get it off your chest." Said Kaoru.

"I still don't think it's worth it..My feelings for Edward will soon fade away once I see another person.. It always happens.." Said Momoko.

"..Momoko.." Said Miyako.

After a hours of the girls having a conversation, they see a river nearby a village. The river had a bridge to the village. As they crossed the bridge and into the village, they heard the people screaming. The girls got off their horses quickly, heading into the village to see men and white horses. The men were violently pushing around the people as if they were trying to find someone, then the girls rushed in with the people. They saw one of the men pulling onto a little girl while the mother crying her name, pulling her back to her. Kaoru made herself crouched, Momoko making way for Kaoru to get through so she can uppercut the male pulling onto the little girl. Miyako follows to ensure the safety of the little girl and mother once the male loosens his grip from the little girl.

Momoko finally made an entrance for Kaoru to go in. Kaoru was under the body of the little girl, the men behind the male who had his hands on the girl was too late to react, and Kaoru had uppercutted him, making let go of the girl. The little girl flew into her mother's arms, almost falling onto the ground, but Miyako helped the stance of the mother and escorted out the crowd. The crowd has started to expand out, not wanting to get hurt, with Kaoru and Momoko in front of the men who wore silver armor. While the man who had the grasp of the little girl seemed to be the leader.

"...Find that girl.." whispered the male to his men.

The three men were about to go around, but Momoko stops them. The male leader clicks his tongue then unsheath his sword. One of the three men came to assist the male leader. As Kaoru glanced at Momoko who was fighting with two men, she saw the incoming attack of the male leader then sees the male who was assisting him was gone and dodges the attack. Kaoru wanted to find the male, but couldn't back out the fight with the leader. She pulled out her dagger, engaging her fight.

Miyako was in the house of the little girl with her and her mother in the bedroom, trying to calm her down with Miyako's singing which worked for a while.

"Miss.., aren't you scared of dying?" Said the scared girl.

"Sometimes..But I would tell myself. I did it trying to save people." Said Miyako with a small smile.

The girl's eyes widen as she has got inspiration from Miyako's words. Hearing a huge wood fall to the ground and the sound of armor hitting each other, the male as arrived. Miyako gestured the girl and mother to become quiet and go under their beds. As they did that, Miyako went to see the male in armor. The male unsheathed his sword, pointing it at Miyako.

"Give the girl or get killed." Threatened the male.

Miyako didn't say anything, but in a swift motion, she ran to the male and pulled out her dagger. Miyako did weak attack on purpose, pushing him out the house. The male laughing at how weak her attacks was then gave out a full swing. In the process of the male making his swing hit hard, Miyako quickly had her foot on his chest, then flicking her toes, hitting his chin, doing a backflip. The male has fallen on the ground and his sword spun towards Miyako's feet. Miyako getting the sword of the ground, the male slowly getting up, and she had the sword to his neck.

"Mind leaving this place?" Said Miyako.

The male nodded quickly at her question then Miyako got the sword away from him. The male quickly gets up, runs to his horse, making him the only one, and leaving. I see Momoko and Kaoru come out of different houses, running towards me.

"Miyako! This is where you've been." Said Momoko.

"Glad that you're not hurt badly." Said Kaoru.

"Let's head back." Said Miyako.

As the girls got on their horses, leaving the village, the girl didn't get to thank Miyako, leaving the girl to watch her ride off with her friends.

The girls came into the hideout. They were fortunate that coming back, they didn't run into people who were going to fight them. Edward sees the girls and makes his way to them.

"I got something for you." Said Edward.

"..Another mission?" Said Momoko.

"Please give us a break." Said Kaoru.

"I got you two more missions!" Said Edward.

Momoko and Kaoru groaned while Miyako gave a weak smile.
