"Come on, Reina! You'll be fine." Sakuya cheered.

"Yeah! All you have to do is beat up that monster, and look stunning!" Alisa added.

"O-okay. But are you sure these clothes are alright?" I asked, a bit flustered.

"Of course! Isn't that why you let us in your room to help you with your- ah um – issues?" Alisa teased.

She has a point there. I was the one who willingly brought them into my room, letting them go through my wardrobe, and told them my little secret "date" with my crush this evening at the Tranquil Temple.

"But why this of all things?" I pointed at the Cool Snazz Top I was wearing. It is basically a sleeveless dress top that is…baby blue? Or maybe somewhat sky blue? Anyway it is close to those colors. "I mean, isn't it cold at the Tranquil Temple?"

"Well, it isn't my fault that all your thermal outfits are all out of style." Alisa pouted.

Ouch. There goes that imaginary bullet right through my chest.

"B-but that just makes Reina our leader. Right Alisa?" Sakuya sounded a bit angry at that last part.

"Yeah, that means leader here, has no sense in fashion."

Stab! Looks like Alisa replaced all Sakuya's recovery bullets with poisonous one's.

"Well, we better get going now. We also have our own missions to attend to."

I nodded I agreement. "Yeah, good luck to you two."

"You too, Leader!" Sakuya flashed a smile before leaving. And the two left the room.

I sighed. I knew it wasn't a good idea to ask Alisa for help since she sometimes finds my clothes "made out of rubbish" or something. I took off the summer top and looked through the terminal for something decent.

I ended up choosing my usual winter outfit, the Vivid Pear Top. Fortunately, they didn't match with the Cool Snazz Pants they chose for me. It's like those shorts you wear just in case your skirt blows up because of the wind, minus the skirt. So it would just make me freeze in place when the enemy is right charging at us. So wearing the pair of the vivid top, the Vivid Pear Bottom would also be a good idea.

Time for the hair.

Apparently Sakuya tied up my beloved deep blue hair to my left which totally fine with me. But Alisa insisted on tying it with this weird blue hair accessory. So I'm changing it to my usual hairstyle. It is somewhat like a bun behind my left ear and my bangs mostly at the left, but some strands to my right.

Now I was all set. I had my Serpent Dagger N and my Loewe Schild II with me. I don't really use guns but I equipped my Bugle Gun Dvn with me, just in case.

I grabbed my little green bag that contained all my healing materials and got out of my room.

"So I've heard you got a special mission."

I found Soma leaning to the wall next to his room in the hallway. It seems like he was ease dropping. Probably it just so happens he was there, or something else.

To answer the blue hooded boy, I nodded reluctantly.

"I've got my own mission to go to now. See you later Rookie, or should I say, Leader?"

With that, the Aragami boy left on to the elevator going to the entrance.

I, on the other hand, went to get a little something before my mission.

I headed towards one of the vending machines in the hallway. I was thinking of buying a drink to sip on at the end of the mission with my partner but I had a better idea.

I inserted a few coins into the machine. Clank! I bent down to pick up two pink cans of Fist Love Juice. I never tasted it but I'm quite curious about the taste even though everyone says it tastes horrible, everyone but Ren. Ren's not here anymore, but that's a long story.

I place the drinks inside my green bag and head towards the inside of the elevator to go meet my partner at the lounge, Shun Ogawa.

I got out of the elevator, finding Shun waiting at the couches near the Den gate. Shun faces my direction and notices my presence.

"Hm? Oh Yo Reina! Ready to kick some Aragami butt?" Shun stands and shows a smile full of excitement.

OhcrapheissodarncuteOMGamIbl ushingrightnowsoembarrasing! My thoughts are rumbling like crazy, now I'm wondering if I could finish this mission without being a total moron.

"Uh…hello?"

Shun is right in front of my face.

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG-AHHHHHHHHH! I could feel the red going all over my face.

"Uh…Y-yeah I'm totally fine let's go get our God Arcs now." With that I dashed to the Den Gate. I could hear Shun right behind me.

"H-hey! Wait up!"

Shun managed to catch up, and now we are in the helicopter together going to the Temples.

"Heh heh." Shun smiled. This time I managed not to blush.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"I'm just lucky that I managed to get someone to go with me on this mission. For some reason everyone today is so busy, I guess it's because of the Aragami Outbreaks lately." Shun replied as he stared onto the horizon with his eyes filled with concern. It was starting to get snowy. I could see his warm breath now.

"Yeah…guess so too..."

"…"

Aw crap. Sakuya told me a million times about having silence in a conversation is like having bad omen or something. I tried of thinking of a subject to talk about, but my mind started going rumbly again.

"Hey Rookie, how about after-"

Suddenly the helicopter stopped moving. I realized that we already arrived at our destination, the Tranquil Temple. We jumped off the helicopter with our God Arcs at one hand. Then we walked towards our usual starting point, which was like a room except the fact there was a big hole at one wall leading downwards.

I stared at the snow until I noticed Shun was looking at me.

"Come on, Rookie." He smiled. "Lets see how much you've improved."
