"It was never thought through in my career, that this would happen. Whom who realized your presence as a presence of the unwanted and ignorance, would likely to try to erase it from the surface of the earth.

I'm Abdy, a Level 3 Specialist of the Alpha Private Military Company, a.k.a an Alpha Hound. 'Specialst', is a calling for those who already got special trainings from private military academies, and qualified to fight like one. Our career started from the academy, when we were 12 or 13 years old, around Junior High School normally. There are lots of companies starting the 2017 that produce lots of Specialists, but of course Alpha Hounds are different, especially me."

The smell of sea, the sounds of waves, and the breeze of the ocean wind. All at once gave me a feel of sea sick in this boat's deck. Heading to the Ooarai School Ship, I can already see Her zooming in the horizon. Ah... Finally here. We were entering the Mobile Dock, and I got my back pack with me. There was this cute girl waiting for me. It's not like I'm deluting, but she was holding a banner with my name written on it. The bridge to dock was locked on, she was really hoping I was the guy. Wow, she must've been waiting for me.

I walked closer to her, and she suddenly asked, "Are you Abdy?"

"Ah, yes. Thank you for waiting, and sorry to be... late?" I answered.

"No, no. You weren't late! The President miss told me about your arrival time."

"Oh, ok." I then bowed, "Pleased to meet you. I am Abdy, Level 3 Alpha Hound."

"Ah, and I am Miho, Miho Nishizumi. Pleased to meet you too. May I take you to a tour now? Or perhaps we should wait for your belongings to be sent to your dorm room?" She asked kindly.

"No. I got it all here." I said while showing my back pack.

"Well then, we should get going." She said with a smile. I just gave her a nod and we head up to the surface of the Zuikaku model. Her skirt is a bit raised when we were climbing the stairs. I felt ashamed if I look at that bear(?) charachter on her behinds, so I just check out my phone.

"Say, Abdy-san, how does it feel to be in a girlss' school? I mean, you are Specialist but, you are still a boy." she asked starting the conversation.

"Oh. Just plain. Noting special."

"Oh, is that so? Ahaha..." She laughed awkwardly.

"But if you really want to know, now's not the time. I'll tell you all of it after I personally review it myself." I said trying to look cool.

"Well, you look like a serious person." She then said.

"Well said, Nishizumi. Well said."

But anyway, transferred here was rather embarassing, and such disgrace had a huge impact on me. But I'm here for the contract, so my dignity is well covered by money.

We then walked out of the dock, and head to the bus stop. We enter the bus and started the tour. In the bus, there were a couple of kids, one in glasses with twintails and one with a cute short hair. Two rows behind them, a girl was on a phone and talking to her boyfriend, and one other girl with a black hair sat behind her while eating a monster-sized rice ball. We sat on the back seat, and I know Nishizumi was trying to get some privacy.

We sat in silence, and I was checking out the view of the town. Quite pretty and modern if I could say. I was amazed that this was a former aircraft carrier back at the days. But I'm also curious about what is Nishizumi up too. And by that time, the bus driver stopped the bus, and we could see through the window, that a girl officer with one sided glasses guiding the bus towards detour. The bus driver then made an announcement. Her voice is rather mischievious in my ears.

"Too all passangers, we might have a detour. Please stay calm and enjoy the ride." She said in the speakers. I was confused, so I asked Nishizumi.

"Say, is this normal here, Nishizumi?"

"Ah! Well... Nothing out of the ordinary... I guess." she answered, or rather starteled by my voice. I then just nodded, and start to use my earphones. But it didn't stop there.

The bus entered a parking lot building, and we were heading to the dark. Now I felt suspicious. "Nishizumi, is this-... Normal?..."

*CLICK*

She pointed a Luger at me, and she looks serious. I don't want to do anything stupid, so I felt like I'll just follow the game. She told me to stand up and get out of the vehicle, and now I'm trapped in a dark parking lot. The people I mentioned riding the bus with us, driver included, were pointing guns at me. I'm amazed they were all holding German handguns, and they hid it well. The driver points out her driver cap, and pointed her gun outside the bus. I just sigh and got out, with a group of a special unit has waited for me. The driver(?), got out too, and threw an archive to me. I got it, and read it.

"Random Shooting at the Senshado Match" was the headline of the news paper inside it. "...5 members of the Kuromorimine Senshado Team, and 7 Members of the Chi-Ha-Tan Senshado Team were injured badly, and a judge officer were wounded during the task..." it said, on the date of 16 August 2018.

"You are Abdy, and were a Level 9 officer in the Alpha Company. You were dispatched from Level 9 to Level 3 at the specific date, 16 August 2018. The same as this news paper came out, and this news paper was released one day after the shooting incident. The shots were clean, and the woundeds will stay alive, but the culprit haven't been caught yet." The Driver said.

"And... What's it with me?" I asked.

"Was it too hard for a so called Level 9 to miss the shots of the targets?" she asked infront of my ears.

"Okay... This is weird, because I ain't getting what you are talking." I said.

"Stop playing stupid and confess, Officer Abdy. You were the specialist on the scene, and you were the one who shot those girls. We had access to your track record, and you are until now is suspected as the culprit by your own company. Several charges were threwn to your face but most of them flanks and now the company dispatched you to Level 3, for you have a bad reputation for yourself and your company."

I stayed in silence, and the whole group grew like so. I closed the archive, and gave it to the driver. I sighed, and walks towards thr human barrier that got guns.

"Stop where you are!" one of them said. I just stared at her, and I noticed that her finger weren't ready to shoot. I then took her hand, and pointed her gun to my chest, the left part to be exact.

"Stop me." I said, making her hands shaked. I then let her go, and walked out of the parking lot. I then fetched a cola and sat on a bench facing the sea.

It seems like that they stopped following me, but I know that they are waiting all around me, surrounding in silence.

Footsteps were heard from my right, it was Nishizumi's. She came unarmed this time. Sat on my side, and faced the sea together. We sat in silence once more for several minutes, and she started saying.

"We are sorry for the inconvinience, but we need to make sure, who you are. Because this is for us, and Senshado also." She said, and the wind blew harder.

"May I know, are you the culprit? Did you shot those innocent people in the match? Were you the one, who shot my friends in that match? Answer me! Please!"

I sighed, sip the last drop of my cola, and crush the can in my hand. I stood up, walked, and leans on the wall facing the sea, with the sunset in the horizon. Nishizumi followed me from behind, and still waiting for my answer.

"I, did not shoot, terorrize, or hurt any innocent people."

"Any alibi?" she asked.

"No."

"Then how can I believe you?"

"Because that's not my passion. I don't disobey the motto of the Alpha Hounds. And the motto was never said or written by words, but the motto was inside the people like those who got themselves hurt in such incidents, in you, in that bus driver, in the people's faith on us, and in our selves. And we may not hurt our motto to do our main job, which is doing our work in the darkness, to keep the light inside the heart of the people like you will shine as always."

The wind blews, and the round of deciding started. Her eyes are in fear and fury, the eyes of those who does not let her loved ones to be hurted.

"I..." She said. "...will let you go for now. But you must promise, if you really are not the culprit, you must proof it yourself, because I can't help you if you are actualy the culprit."

"How is it? Is it a deal?" she shoves her hand to me.

"Yea, sure."
