She's here again (— — )

I pretended to arrange the papers by tacking it over the table and took another report to read.

"Captain, do you want tea?" She asked.

It's a harmless suggestion, but I'm not in the mood to ride into it.

Since the first day I came back to work in the division, she's always here in my office without asking for permission, and then sticking her nose into everything.

"Don't bother, I'm fine," I said, but it surprised me when a tap was heard on my table then I saw that steaming hot tea.

She already prepared it before I could even protest. (— — )

She's like someone that I know, but very different. No matter how she tries to get too close to taking her role in her place, she'll never be her.

"What was your name again? Yura, right?" I asked.

"Yes, Captain," she replies.

"Nishino Yura, from squad three. I recently transfered here," she introduced that I think this is the third time she had put it in detail, but didn't said anything about academy related like how Hana had said that this brown haired and brown eyes female who's as tall as Hana's ear level with a last name Nishino is my classmate.

Whatever squad she belongs to before she came here, I really don't know her.

I already raked my brain countless times and found nothing related to this girl.

Is that the reason why I can't find her anywhere here at the barracks, because she knows that I'll be with Yura everyday when I get back? (๑ ๑ )

"Where is Matsumoto?" I asked her, snapping myself out from my thoughts before I could get loose on my mind from the conclusion that I've created.

"I don't know, Captain. But she handed me a bunch of paperwork and asked me to work it in her place," she says, handing me the papers immediately.

"Okay, lay them all here. Thank you, it's a great help," I said, tapping my hand where she should place it.

And she's even taking Hana's place.

What happened in squad ten while I'm not here? I want answers. (— — )

"Captain, do you mind if I asked?" She paused that I turned my eyes on her to give her the impression that she can ask anything and I'll be listening.

"You looked agitated since you got back from your mission. Your guard is always up. Was it because I'm from the squad of Gin Ichimaru? Thinking that I'm a spy?"

I stared at her with a full blank expression for five seconds before turning away my sights on her that I can't even stop myself from frowning.

How's Gin even important now? Izuru had no issues with us, and was all cleared from any possible suspicious activities.

"No, I'm not upset either," I said in simple words, answering her questions in one full sentence. I don't even know why I had to explain myself to her in the first place.

"I just need some fresh air," I said then stood up from my seat.

I caught her in the corner of my eye that she wanted to let me stay here in the office, but pulled her hand back to her after a few inches of reaching it out to me.

I won't even get it why would she do that anyway. To let me stay in the office perhaps? Or ask to take her with me, but what for?

I don't recall granting her the opportunity to tag along wherever I go.
