"How troublesome…" A young female shinigami ran her fingers through her hair. "Because of increasing number of deaths, I have to work for the Dispatch Management Division for a while. I'm supposed to be the Head of the General Affairs Department." She sighed. Her father was the one who volunteered her for the work; he was confident of her abilities. She was talented like her father and her uncle. But she was very distant when it came to other people, she didn't do well in social interaction. She interacted with them, but she kept that to a minimum. The reason she didn't want to work for the Dispatch Division was because she would've had to work with a partner, and she did not think that would be a great idea. She sighed and laid her head on her desk. A knock resounded in her office.
"Ms. Anderson, your uncle is here to see you." Called her assistant
"Let him in." She said just loud enough for her assistant to hear. The door opened and in came a man with long silver hair. Everything he wore was black, including his large top hat; save the gray scarf he wore like a sash.
"Kill me, uncle. Kill me now, please." She whined as he entered and looked at his niece. She was just like his sister, her mother. She was an exact replica when it came to her appearance. He was sure that his niece had captured the eyes of numerous shinigamis and he didn't like the idea. He was protective of her, like she was his own daughter. She was his apprentice. He specifically made sure that he would be the one to train her. Although her father and he didn't get along much, they both would settle their differences for her well-being.
"Now, now, Alice my dear, death is not to be taken lightly." He scolded jokingly as he approached her desk.
"You know I don't do well with new people." She grumbled as she sat up to look at her uncle. Her uncle chuckled at her.
"You'll do fine. You always do." He said patting her head. She pouted at him. He couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. She was just so cute. "And besides, you need to lighten up a bit~"
"I have to start working tomorrow." She sighed. "I'll see you when I come by your shop, Uncle." She stood up to hug her uncle.
"Alright then, I need to return something at the library." He said as he stood up and hugged her.
