Somewhere inside Windbloom city, a blinding flash of light disappears as fast as it appears out of nowhere.
" 23 years to the past, I think this cardinals are correct" said a young brown haired girl with purple eyes.
"Geez, I think the word you are looking for is coordinates and yes they are correct" a young girl with navy blue hair with red eyes replied.
"Can I ask something though?"
"Hmm?"
"Can we still materialize our robes?"
"From what sensei said, yes we can, that is if her calculations is correct. But she gave us 2 pearl gems just to make sure, you know when her assumption fails"
"But we need certification to materialize pearl robes"
"Yes, sensei already saw through that and made some adjustments, we can use the robe freely"
"Okay"
The two girls got out of the small alley and joined the stream of people that flocks the city. After 30 minutes of walking, the two were in front of a huge gate.
"Garderobe Academy" the blue haired girl sighed.
"So this is what it looks like before, I don't see any difference"
"What do you expect, building made out of wood, anyways we should prepare now"
"Okay Shi-chan"
"Whatever"
The two sat on one of the benches outside the school and began talking about their mission.
"Our mission is to eliminate the five Slave#0702 that escaped and all the goes with it. Im not sure if those five have already made an army of slaves but is a high possibility, then find Schwarz Main man and stop him from making item #60350"
"How about the Headmistress and the Column number 3?"
"Yes, we are to protect them together with the president of Aries and Brigadier General Armitage"
"Wow, now that you said it, it looks like this mission is too big for just the two of us"
"Don't worry, Ira-chan is gonna come and back us up"
"Are we to eliminated the main man too, coz I don't know if I can control myself once I see him"
"yes, we are.. no… WE SHOULD"
After their brief discussion and minor adjustments, the two walked towards the main gate.
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
Inside Garderobe Academy, Youko was quietly working on her papers while Irina and Gal are busy repairing the robots. This is what is like inside the Garderobe laboratory on a typical day. All you can hear are the clank of the tools from either Irina or Gal and the paper and typing sounds from Youko. Just when they though that everything was going on smoothly, the alarm on Youko's computer went off, signaling that an intruder has penetrated the academy. Youko immediately called the Headmistress to notify her.
"Headmistress, two intruders had entered the premises."
"Do you have the images?"
"I'm sending it to you now"
Just as Youko finished her sentence, the images flashed on the computer screen in front of Natsuki. What she saw made her eyes twitch. On the image were the two girls, holding up peace signs at the camera. She immediately called the security to capture the two and bring them to her.
"Those two girls are quite cute aren't they, especially the blue haired one"
"Shizuru, those two are intruders, we should not keep our guard down" Natsuki warned.
Shizuru saw the opportunity to tease Natsuki. "Is Natsuki jealous?"
As if on que, the girl's cheeks in question immediately flared up at the comment. "Wha.. why would I be jealous?!!"
"Ara..do not worry Natsuki, you are still the cutest person there is in my opinion" Shizuru hugged Natsuki from the back, nuzzling on her head on the headmistress's shoulder.
"Mou Shizuru stop teasing already"
The two were interrupted when they heard someone knocking on the door. They straighten their selves up then told the guest to come in. The door opened revealing two security guards with the two girls in tow.
"Headmistress, we have come to deliver the intruders" one of the guards reported.
"that's all, thank you"
With that, the two guards excused themselves and immediately left the office. Natsuki shifted her attention to the two shall we say captive and began scrutinizing them.
"What is you business with Garderobe?" the headmistress ask, her voice showed no emotion.
"We want to enroll ourselves here at the academy" the brown head answered.
"What country are you from?"
"Aries"
"And you?" Natsuki turned her attention toward the blue haired girl who was silent the whole time.
"Win… I mean Aries"
Natsuki raised an eyebrow at the slight slip up but decided to let it go. She instead continued to ask a few other questions.
"You" Pointing at the brown haired woman. "state your name and age?"
"Yukira Sagisawa, 17 years old"
"And you?" stares at the blue haired girl.
"Shizuki Kobayashi, 15 years old"
"As you know, enrolling in this academy is not that easy, first the council are the ones who will decide if they want to give you the chance to fight for your entry, then if the council approves, the two of you are to fight in a butou with two of the students of Garderobe. If you win, you should have enough money to pay for your school expenses, do you have sponsors?"
"Please do not worry about the money Headmistress, just get us the chance to enroll ourselves and we will take care of the rest" came the sharp reply of Shizuki.
Natsuki was quite surprise at how Shizuki answered but let it slide once again. She doesn't want create a more tense atmosphere for it was already tensed from the beginning.
"Very well, the two of you will have to stay here and be put under surveillance, if you made any unnecessary movements, your chances of getting in will immediately be revoked, understand?"
"Yes" both the girls said.
Shizuru who happens was standing beside Natsuki the whole time, move towards Shizuki and leaned in close that they're nose are almost touching. Yukira couldn't help but fidget on her seat knowing how hard it must be for Shizuki.
"You have very beautiful eyes, deep blue" Shizuru finally spoke as she distanced her self from a slightly surprised girl.
Shizuka who was momentarily frozen finally found her voice to reply. "Thank you"
After a few minutes of silence, Natsuki coughed to get everyone's attention and to wrap up the situation.
"Both of you follow me, I shall bring you two to the guest room. I hope you don't mind sharing it?"
"Not at all, we grew up together so we don't mind really" Yukira answered immediately and rather cheerfully which earned herself an elbow to her side from Shizuki. "Aw"
"will you zip your mouth up, a simple yes or no would do" the blue haired girl whispered.
"Fine fine"
The four of them walked toward the guest room. The hallways were not that crowded for classes had already started. As they walked by the classrooms, they had caught the attention of the students who gapped at the beauty of Column # 3. Yukira who was observing the situation gave a slight giggle. This didn't go unnoticed by Shizuki and was a little annoyed at how her friend was acting. She walked closer to Yukira and leaned close to her.
"what now?! Did I just tell you to stop doing anything unnecessary!?" Shizuki whispered.
"Sorry, I just cant help it"
"Whatever, just keep it together will you"
"Okay, sorry"
After a few more minutes of walking, they have finally reached the guest room. Natsuki then held the doorknob and opened the door to the room. (A/N. If you remember the room Mashiro stayed at during 2nd episode of mai-otome. That's the room). It has a single king size, four-poster bed in the middle of the room. And has another door to then far left which leads to the bathroom. The room was big, big enough to fit 7 people in and still has lots of space.
"And Mashiro-sama said this room is tiny" Shizuki whispered to herself.
However, Natsuki and Shizuru were still standing by the door. Apparently, they wouldn't be staying long enough to show them around for they have a busy day ahead of them.
"I am terribly sorry but both of us need to leave you here for we have to prepare for the council meeting. Please be comfortable and feel free to roam around the campus if you wish"
With that, Natsuki left the room followed by Shizuru who was quiet the whole time.
Yukira threw her backpack near the base of the bed and plopped herself on the floor. Shizuki on the other hand just lay on the bed and closed her eyes. She just wanted to relax her eyes for she wasn't used on wearing contacted lenses.
"I was so nervous when Shizuru-sama actually leaned over you!" said the brown head girl who was now lying flat on the floor, not minding its cold surface.
Not opening her eyes, Shizuki shifted in a more comfortable position before answering the question.
"Yeah but I knew she'd do that somehow"
The room became silent once again, both of them drifted off to sleep after all the chasing and warping they have done, exhaustion finally caught up to them.
