New person, new chapter. This chapter is all about the descender and Emil's relationship.

And of course Ratatosk will pop in once in a while.


Blonde, green eyes, clothed in purple, and an adorable personality is usually how Leora would describe Emil Castagnier, but when he's in battle it's like he becomes a completely different person. His soft voice would become deep and rough, and his meek appearance would become hard-edged and brutal. The descender didn't know what to make of it; dual-personalities are a completely new thing for her. She would have trouble telling when it's the usual Emil or the rough Emil, because of that she does not approach the blonde that much. The only time they would speak to each other if it has something to do with a request or the current events. Leora felt guilty for neglecting Emil, because of that she has taken his request on training against Axe Beaks in the mines.

"Rrraaahh!" Emil's roar echoed through the cave as he brought his blade down upon an Axe Beak. Blood would spurt out of its corpse and stained his clothes, the boy would smirk, "Weak." As he stood in glory, another Axe Beak would float up into the air and charged right at him. Quickly, Leora would aim and shoot the monster down from the air before it would make impact on the boy's body.

"Are you alright?" she asked. The descender had swapped her job from swordsmen to gunmen, her specialty.

"Could you be any slower?" Emil would shout at Leora, annoyed with the descender's timing. "And you said that guns are your specialty, Iria's better than you!" The descender would flinch, Emil seemed more vexed than usual.

"I'm sorry…" Leora looked down as she twiddled her thumbs. The blonde sighed, he closed his red eyes and once he opens the color would switch over to green.

"…?" Emil blinked, "Leora? What's wrong?" he asked as he walked up to her and looked at her I the eye. Emil would reach out to her and quickly Leora would wince. Emil gasped and lowered his head, "…um…did…something happen?" Leora shook her head.

"It's…nothing." She looked away, "That was the last of the monsters that you requested to slay, so let's return to the guild." Emil nodded and the two made their way back to the guild.

"Emil, darling~!" Marta threw herself onto Emil as soon as he entered his room. "I missed you~ I wish you took me with you on your training." She pouted.

"Ahaha… Sorry Marta," Emil chuckled and looked back to Leora who's standing at the doorway, "Oh before I forget, let me give you the reward." As Marta released Emil from her grasp, he walked over to the table and handed Leora a few items that he promised. "Thanks for helping me and...um…I'm sorry for what happened…"

"…Emil…um…to tell the truth, after the first time we fought together, you kind of scared me… You became a completely different person!"

"A different person?" he cocked his head to the side, "What do you mean by that?"

"You're more reckless and you seem to lust for blood… Earlier, when we were fighting, an Axe Beak was about to ram into you and before it could, I shot it down and you yelled at me about how slow I was and how I was terrible at what I do." The blonde's eyes widened as so did Marta's, silence filled the room.

"Wait…hold on Leora! My Emil would NEVER say those things!" Marta yelled, breaking the silence. "Don't talk bad about Emil like that!"

"Marta wait," he pleaded and looked to Leora, "Now that you mention it, Miss. Leora…Lloyd mentioned a drastic change in my behavior and how I attacked him. I don't really get what's going on, but I'm really sorry… I didn't really mean to say those things. I hope you're not mad at me…" Leora shook her head.

"I'm not mad," she softly smiled to him, "I'm sorry to have avoided you for so long. Why don't we start over as friends?"

"F-Friends…?" the blonde's face showed a tint of pink on his cheeks, "Y-You're willing to become my friend…?" She nodded.

"Of course!" Tears would form at the corner of Emil's eyes. "Eh? Why are you crying?"

"I-I'm just so happy…besides Ruka and Caius, I've finally made another friend…I'm so happy…" As the blonde shed tears of joy, something stirred inside the descender, her face showed a tint of pink. She embraced Emil, overflowed with fuzzy feelings.

"So cute…" she smiled as she rubbed her cheek against his golden hair.

"H-Hey, Leora!" Marta pouted and Emil's face would flush red.

"M-Miss. Leora…y-your…chest… They're sort of making it hard to breathe…" The descender unconstrained the blonde.

"Oh! Sorry," she giggled, "You were just so cute I couldn't help it!"

"Hey! He's MY cutie Emil!" Leora giggled once more.

"Yes, yes."


I really love how cute Meek Emil is~ he's so adorable!

When you start a converastion with him sometimes he'd say "Etto...ano..." which is "Erm...um..."

SO CUTE. =w=

And you know, when Ratatosk Emil comes out all I can say is "Awwww shietttt, RUN LLOYD RUN!"
