Me:"Aaah. This is just what I needed."

Whenever I'm nervous, a good tea always calms me.

I was sit on a bench covered by a big red umbrella, outside the bar. On my right was the ice-cream shop.

I was still against the fact I couldn't go in a mission, even because I wanted to help.

But I couldn't just go against Najenda, that would have been a riot, and everyone would have went against me.

So I just kept drinking my tea.

Me:'This sweet taste reminds honey, but it isn't. Maybe an ingredient from this world? I should try back at home.'

???:"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"

The voice was of a woman. I neither turned to her.

Me:"Nah, you're free to sit."

???:"Don't mind if I do."

Me:"No pro-"

And then I felt it. A tremendous murderous instinct. I stopped drinking.

I turned to the woman. She had long azure hair, like Rei Ryghts, and azure eyes. She wore a white and black navy uniform, along with the hat.

Me:'What the hell!? She's so relaxed and I can feel such a thing!? Who is her!?"

The shopper brought her an ice-cream. I kept drinking my tea, but without leaving my guard out.

I could feel her eyes on me.

???:"You're not from the Capital, are you?"

Me:"...Is it that obvious?"

???:"A little. I've never seen your kind of clothes around."

Me:"Well, guess that's true."

???:"Are you here in the Capital for business?"

Me:"Kinda. I found a good job."

???:"Is that so? And what should it be?"

Me:"Exterminator."

???:'Interesting. Of what kind?"

Me:"Of the worst creatures alive."

She seemed amused by my answer.

???:"How long will you keep your stance?"

I stayed quiet, ready to defend.

Me:"What do you mean?"

???:"Do you really think I didn't notice you're on the defensive?"

Me:"I hardly stay calm when someone with such murderous intent sit next to me."

She giggled of fun.

???:"So you noticed. You must be strong for being able to feel it."

Me:"Some people says I am."

???:"I can confirm. You seem to have lot of potential."

Me:"I suppose. Guess it's the only way to survive in this world."

She nodded at my words.

???:"It's a fact. 'Only the strongest survive'."

Me:"That I can agree. But sometimes, strenght alone isn't enough."

???:"True, there are things that strenght can do nothing. Like love."

I turned to her confused.

Me:" 'Love' you say?"

???:"Indeed. Currently, I want to feel in love. I already have a list of what I want to see in a man."
