Sakura Empire training ground, several children are swarming around Zuikaku as they saw she is carrying a sword that pick their interests. The sword is none other than Rakurai.
"Zuikaku-chan! Zuikaku-chan! What is this sword you been holding now, Zuikaku-chan?", asked the children. "It's very beautiful!."
"Hehehe...Onii-sama gave it to me", said Zuikaku-chan happily.
"She means 'borrow' by the way", said Kay that suddenly coming toward the children. "Since, the original sword I gave to her is too heavy for her to use, this sword will be act as her practice sword for now on."
However, Zuikaku seemed too happy and did not hear what Kay said to her. Her face is too cute, as she showing Rakurai to others.
"Hehehe ... is this sword very beautiful?", Said Zuikaku-chan. "It the sword that Onii-chan used."
Well, too happy as she already bragging the sword toward the others. Kay sighed and let go of what Zuikaku-chan was doing.
He recalls, when Zuikaku-chan managed to pull the Rakurai from the sacred tree, he isn't too shocked as he already knew that Zuikaku-chan will eventually be able to pull it with her own strength.
As he knew, she is the only one can use Rakurai in the adult version after facing several difficulties and challenges.
"It took a lot of courage to use Rakurai", said Kay in his mind.
Several children tried to touch Rakurai, but were stopped by Zuikaku-chan who shook her head several times. She tries to look at Kay, asking for help.
"They need to ask you permission, Zuikaku-chan", said Kay. "This is your sword for now on."
Zuikaku nodded her head, and continued to give permission to her friends. Her
"Are you sure that is fine, Kay?", asked Amagi. "Isn't that sword is too dangerous if anyone except Zuikaku and you touching it?"
"It's fine", said Kay. "Some swords don't liked anyone expect their own master to use it. Some of them probably just blast away that person but there is case, where that sword can kill that a person that not its master. Although, it probably a extremely rare case."
"Rakurai strength depends on its master, since Zuikaku is pretty much weaker, it probably did nothing except become heavier."
As Kay busy told Amagi, they heard a loud noise coming from the children. One of them is trying to pull Rakurai, but it was too heavy for her to lift it.
"See, nothing bad will happens", said Kay.
"That's a good news", said Amagi. "Then, may I ask another question, Kay?"
"Sure, what is it?", asked Kay.
"Did you already talk to Enterprise?", asked Amagi.
When Kay heard Amagi talking about Enterprise, he sighed and shook his head.
"I tried to talk to her, but she always running away", said Kay. "Seems liked I need to give her some time."
"Or, maybe you didn't try too hard, Kay", said Amagi. "If she runs, you need to catch her up. With your abilities, that is not impossible right? I'm sure you can do it as long as you tried."
"If she doesn't want to meet me, then I have no reason to force her", said Kay. "Let us be clear, this is not entirely my fault. Both of them are ignoring my order to not come at the sacred tree until I saw."
"But, you scolded Enterprise too harsh", said Amagi. "She didn't have any bad intentions. She probably did that because what she saw. Not to mention, she also wants your attention."
"I scolded both of them in same manner", said Kay. "Although, Zuikaku-chan seems too happy and probably already forget about that."
"...................."
"Did you hate her, Kay?", asked Amagi.
"Who? Enterprise?", asked Kay. "Of course not..."
"But, your actions said otherwise", said Amagi. "Us women can tell you know. You didn't show us, but you did by pure unintentional."
"Enterprise may had the feeling that you hate her, so she tried to make you love her. She is good child, and you should know it, Kay."
Amagi looks at Kay, hoping that he will understand. After having several thought, Kay sighed.
"Yeah, yeah...I understand", said Kay. "I will go find her now."
"Good luck then", said Amagi.

Kay walks around the Sakura Empire in search of Enterprise, he expects most of the Enterprise to still be hiding.
He tried to ask Monarch about the location of Enterprise. This is still the time for Eagle Union shipgirls to have practice sessions. However, she answered that Enterprise had missed the training and she doesn't know where Enterprise is.
"Haah...I understand", said Kay. "Thank you, Monarch."
Kay thinks that Enterprise is still in the Sakura Empire. Therefore, he immediately tramples the ground and activates the lightning element.
ZAPP!!
A calm shockwave emitted from Kay, scanning the area to find Enterprise. After, a few moments, Kay already knew where Enterprise is.
She is hiding at a shrine near to the forest at the top. Without wasting any time, Kay starts to go to the shrine.
On his way to the shrine, he met Fusou-chan who was sweeping the garbage around the shrine.
"Good morning, Kay-sama", said Fusou-chan. "It's very rare to Kay-sama came here. Is there anything I can help you."
"I'm looking for someone that hiding here", said Kay. "Did you see her?"
"...No, I never see anyone girl coming here", said Fusou, averting her eyes.
"Her ears told me everything", said Kay in his mind.
Kay knew that Fusou is lying because he knows that Enterprise is indeed hiding here. Enterprise probably told Fusou that Kay is looking for her.
"Well, it doesn't matter", said Kay. "I had a feeling she will be..."
"Will Kay-sama scold Enterprise again? ", asked Fusou-chan. "Is that the reason for Kay-sama to find her?"
"................"
"That's not it, little one", said Kay, telling Fusou the truth. "I guess I want to say sorry to her."
"Then, good luck then, Kay-sama", said Fusou-chan while smiling.
Kay smiled back at Fusou-chan and continued to look for Enty-chan who was hiding. Kay did not shout Enty-chan's name since he afraids that she will be sacred and ran away from him.
Near to the shrine, there is old storage room that had been abandoned but being renovated by Kay for future use. Kay has a feeling that Enty-chan is hiding there.
Kay slowly opens the door and he saw, a little girl in there, sleeping in the corner. It was indeed, Enty-chan. Kay then, slowly approaching her.
"Is she sleeping?", asked Kay while looking at Enty-chan. "She seems to cry a lot."
Kay can sees that Enty-chan's face become red and tired, probably she cried to much.
"I'm sorry, little one", said Kay while poking Enty-chan's cheeks.. "Maybe I was too harsh."
Kay can feels that Enty-chan's cheeks is very soft and a little bit hot. However, the second part is making him feels something isn't right. He then touched her forehead and he can feels that it was too hot.
She is sick.
Kay grabs Enty-chan and taking her out from the store. He then, quickly runs while carrying Enty-chan and stumble across Fusou-chan.
"Enty-chan! What's wrong with her, Kay-sama?", Asked Fusou-chan.
"She fell ill," said Kay. "Can you go find Amagi and tell her to meet me now at the clinic?"
"Yes, Kay-sama", said Fusou.
.......................
........................
........................
"Yup, she is sick", said Monarch while checking on Enty-chan.
"No sh*t ,sherlock", said Kay. "I already know that."
Amagi checks on Enty-chan several times. She can sees how bad Enty-chan condition is by just looking at her.
"Seems liked her condition become worst", said Amagi. "I afraid that she needs the treatment as soon as possible."
"Wait, what are you talking about?", asked Kay.
"Some of the children are sick, Kay", said Monarch. "It just not as bad as Enterprise."
"Wait, so they been sick for past few days?", asked Kay. "Why you never tell me?"
"Because, we don't want to burden you to much, child", said Friedrich. "These children told us to keep the secret from you. Seems liked they don't wont you to be worried."
"Of course, I will be worried!", shouted Kay.
"Please, not now, Kay", said Amagi. "She will be fine if she got the medicine."
"Good! Now, where is the medicine?", asked Kay.
All of them remain silent, leaving Kay with one answer in his mind.
"You gotta be kidding, you don't have the medicine?", asked Kay.
"The medicines should already arrived few days ago, but it got delay", said Monarch. "The supplies been delay for unknown reasons."
"Then, I guess you have to go and grab the medicines by yourself", said Kay. "How long it will takes?"
"...At least one week", said Monarch, looking away from Kay. "Because the reason for the delay may has to do with sirens. There is a possibility where we need to engage in battle."
"Are you serious?", asked Kay. "This little girl won't make it."
The room itself is too tense as Kay becomes fierce for them to handle him. They know that they too lenient about this problem, which this the result the got.
"Maybe, you can help us", said Amagi. "If you go..."
"And why should I?", asked Kay. "You knew I don't have the time."
"I...I'm sorry", said Amagi. "You were right."
"We already plan the mission to grab the supplies", said Monarch. "But, I guess we have to move faster than what we planned before."
Kay relieves a sigh, there is a lot of problems that he needs to handle. If they tell him at least something about this problem, he can help them. But, it was too late, he has something more important things to do.
He is planning to investigate about the cell which he needs to bring Dragonoire with him, leaving Sakura Empire with weaker security. With Monarch and others leaving to grab the supplies will make it worst.
"I want to take some fresh air", said Kay while walking away. "There are a lot of things I want to say, but you should be grateful that there is a little girl is sleeping here."
Kay gazed leave them stunned.

........................
At night, Kay had just arrived at his room after having a meeting with the others. Let say, its not ends too well.
After having a shower and preparing himself, he saw a note about the medicines that Enty-chan needs.
"Probably Amagi's doing", said Kay as he reads the note. "I really don't have..."
After having some thought, Kay decides to visit Enty-chan at the clinic. She is still sleeping and her conditions at least better than before.
Kay tries to poke her cheeks, try to analyze her condition. He saw the smile he always saw from her is gone. The only thing he saw is a little girl in pain.
".................."
Kay pets Enty-chan head and walking away from the clinic. He decides to go the port of the Sakura Empire.
Since it is already night, there is nobody around.
Kay looks at the sky, he can sees several stars overlooks the darkness. The moon shines and calmness of the sea hitting the port.
He sighed and closes his eyes.
"Is this worth it?", asked Kay.
"Should I do this, even though I shouldn't intervene with their problem."
"................."
"I am helping them too much, neglecting my own purpose."
"Should I even, help them."
".................."
"I been here for too long that I expected, and I still unable to finish my duty."
"Is this what I hoping for?"
"................"
As Kay opens his eyes, his eyes already turn yellow.
"Yes, because I'm their guardian."
ZAPP!!! ZAPP!!! ZAPP!!!
