Chapter Text
“Hey, Kurumi.”
I tapped on her shoulder.
“Oh, you’re awake.” she smiled at me.
“Yeah, Unfortunately. ”
“How far are we from Gehenna?”
“You were out for a couple hours, we’re about twenty minutes from our stop.”
“Twenty minutes… why do I have a bad feeling about this? ”
I shook my head.
“Just a bit of superstition. Probably nothing. ”
“What is this feeling? Dread? Why, it’s not like we’re any real danger. ”
"Hello!~" Niko said warmly as we all walked into the room.
Yukino put a hand up to Niko.
"Professionals, Niko."
"Right, sorry..."
"Belittlement like that is unnecessary as the problem at hand is far more important than being formal right now."
Their agent interrupted as he set a few papers down on the table.
"That can't be good." Kurumi said as she rested a hand on her handgun’s holster.
"It isn't. An external force has started moving into the cities and they're more heavily armed than any student here."
" So what? if a bunch of hippies come in here we can probably handle them- "
"Sounds like they could be a valuable asset." Yukino interrupted my thoughts as she stepped forward to pick up one of the files.
"They would be. However, despite their 'alliance' with us, they have only mentioned or agreed to cooperate with a small platoon of soldiers. Knowing this, we can't be sure of their intentions."
"So what, you just want us to go in guns blazing because of that? That doesn't seem-" The agent cut Kurumi off.
"You're not. Fox will operate near the force moving into Gehenna and keep tabs on them. if they start to attack students and/or destroy property unprovoked, you may engage. However, there are far more combatants in this force than you are equipped to deal with."
“Recon… Fucking great.” I folded my arms over my chest as I thought out loud.
"Speak for yourself, I'd like a break from the op's we've been doing."
