"To my dear King,

How do you do? It's me, your bothersome girl, AFruit. I'm writing to you to tell you that I'm going to trouble you again. This time you will be the centre of this all. Writing about something you know is much simpler than attempting to force my way into a well-built fandom or whatever. You are also referred as a "he", not gonna change your appearance, for now, maybe.

I'm warning you I'll work you to the bone. I bet you already have an idea of what I will use you for. I'm gonna get better at writing! Somehow I have to, my grades are (were) on the line.

The one and only,

AFruit"

I can feel a wave of fury taking over me. 'Yeah, that person has this kind of effect on me', I couldn't help but elaborate such thought. Even by only mentioning their name a headache will make way to by brain. There is no one more troublesome than her.

Without me noticing I somehow put too much strength in the hand that's holding the letter, now is all crumbled up. Deep breaths, I have to calm down.

"Sir, is everything alright?" Hikaru, suddenly speaks to me. I have completely forgotten him in the midst of my fury. It looks like I'm making him worried.

"No need to worry, Hikaru. Everything is fine."

I can't help but let a sigh escape my mouth. I foresee a lot of work piling up today. The letter is a clear prelude to trouble. It probably has to do with the new dimensional distortions we observed in the last months. Fortunately The Jolly is calm which means I have more free people at my disposal, unfortunately for me I have already dispatched them around and can't recall anyone back as all their missions hold the same importance as the one regarding my current issue. So troublesome.

"Hikaru, see if any of our people is free, just to make sure. Also tell them we'll see each other like usual." I gave my instruction.

"Yes, sir." Hikaru bowed and left my study.

To think that she plotted everything to this extent so that I'll be checking the space anomaly myself, I'm amazed. If only she spends her energy somewhere more productive and helpful. To make an example: go hibernating so that I can to fix all the mess she made. The paperwork never stops.

To the one who's reading right now, whom I know is probably you my "dear" AFruit, To understand what is happening you just have to know I'm the head of a certain organization. Our job is to investigate dimensional anomalies to prevent any collateral damage to our world and, if we can, preventing it.

If you need a simple picture of my image. I'm 1.60 meters tall. Male. Black eyes, black hair collected in a short ponytail. I use a pure black trench coat with golden embroidery which usually acts as my uniform. The insignia is sewed on the coat right chest area.

About Hikaru you have to know that he is male, 1,72 tall. A bit slender. Short and uneven silver-white hair, longer on the right side shorter on the left. Emerald green grey eyes. He's working as my butler part-time. A friend of mine entrusted him to me in order to be more independent. He's really a good kid. I said kid but he's at least some hundred years old, or was supposed to. His actual age should be over the 20's but I can't be sure. There are holes in the system that I'm not allowed to fix.

To my displeasure, the extremely dim possibility of someone being dispatchable for the dimensional investigation was uprooted. In other words my hope was crushed. I had to organize everything for my leave in a haste. Finding someone who can replace me on the paperwork is impossible, let's not talk about my job. I had to split my work into many secondary works on my close aids to their displeasure. (I hope they can make a good job).

Time to find my brother to inform him of my leave.

-----------------------

I'm stressed, so stressed. I'm storming towards Aruji-sama's room. Mitsutada, in vain, tries to calm me down but I'm feeling too much to understand even half of what he is saying. Another voice tries to reason with me telling me to stop in my tracks and to have a break, Konnosuke probably. I couldn't hear them talking to me anymore, I probably shouted at them. Damn! It wasn't my intention to.

I, Heshikiri Hasebe, who tempers both body and mind to respond to my Master every needs can't accept the current our current predicament.

My master to whom I swore my allegiance. No, Our Master, is missing since last tuesday. It was sudden, no one know exactly when or how. He disappeared with no traces of him left.

We searched every nook of the Citadel, inside and outside, the land in our surrounding, connected to our master's age in order to find some kind of clues or information. The results? Nothing!

We even tried to contact the Government but either they ignored our requests or they never received our messages.

The stress is consuming me. I refuse to lose hope, I refuse to think that Aruji-sama abandoned us. They would never do such thing. Never!

I slam open the door to Aruji's room. There is a black haired stranger in Aruji-sama's room.

"Who are you?! What are you doing in Aruji-sama's room?! Answer me!"
