It has been a few hours since I was taken from the medical building into my own accommodation. The base was large with a big open space that the men and women who protected the commoners from spirit beasts would use to train.

My room was rather quaint, it had an unknown beast fur rug which was equal parts creepy and menacing to me. It also had various maps for different regions that lined the walls. It also had a relativity large bed in it covered with pillows and a writing table.

They had let me take Kibbles since it was silently sleeping and showed no signs of waking up. Doctor Tau had taken a look at it but he was not used to dealing with animals so could only give some basic pain medications.

I put Kibbles on my bed and let it rest as I got used to its new form.

[ Oh dear, what if this was meant as a gift to grandpa? ]

I thought about what would happen if I had to give Kibbles away and my stomach churned. I walked up to the sleeping cat and gently rubbed its fur. It's cute little jelly bean paw pads made me want to squish it.

I started rubbing my face up against it like I would have done to my old cat when I was interrupted by a cough.

Jumping back startled, I look to see general Rain, his face bright red seemingly embarrassed for interrupting me.

[ Oh god... This is embarrassing]

The captain cleared his throat and said " Sorry for interrupting, Do you have a moment to talk about what has happened? Our chef will be here soon with some dinner for you"

I looked out one of the room windows to see the sun was already setting over the horizon and my stomach began to gurgle.

The captain laughed and said, " It looks like all the men in the Akiyo family are honest to a fault!"

I looked down and back up at him before laughing and rubbing the back of my head.

We each sat across from each other and a woman with a cooks outfit came in. She was the same cook that I had seen at the festival not so long ago.

" Woah it's you! " I said in surprise as I looked at the women with the serving dishes.

The women looked at me in surprise before she served the dishes. They looked like the second tastiest thing I had seen since getting here. The first of course being the picnic I had with Cupid. There was a mix of everything from vegetables to braised meats. They were all cut into small pieces that would be easier to digest for someone who was unwell.

I started to unintentionally drool.

" Shizu here is our chef, she is the best cook we have, I thought I'd let her make you something special as an apology for doubting you." Rain said.

" Apology accepted! I am just glad that Ki and Ren are doing well. I saw Mrs Shizu fighting at a festival I went to not long ago and she was amazing!" I said nodding my head.

Shizu seemed to beam a little before saying " Ahh you saw me, how embarrassing, all the support staff who are here to train enter! Every year!"

We said a few more words to each other before I started eating with Rain, the topic was first on how I ended up at the base. I watched as Rain sat there in thought for a while and nodded. When it came to how I attacked Delta I couldn't help but look down.. It became hard to talk and I almost burst into tears.

When It got up to the part of seeing Ren collapse I was holding my chopsticks and began to cry. I thought I could hold it all together but I couldn't. Everything that had happened the last few days was too much for me.
