'Is that...' Eli thought as she stared at the purple-haired who was staring back at her with shock.
'Eli..?' Nozomi thought.
'That girl from before!' Eli thought and then slowly walked towards her. Nozomi did the same thing. But as soon as they got a little closer to each other, an electric barrier occured and it attempted to electrify them. The duo then stepped away to avoid that. Eli's eyes just looked at the barrier and then to the other girl,"You..."
Nozomi smiled,"Nice to meet you." Eli blushed and looked away in embarrassment while rubbing her head, she then looked back at her and then responded,"N-Nice to meet you too...so..." She halted. This is so awkward! Eli thought as she stared down at the purple-haired.
"We kinda met before you got transported there." Nozomi giggled shyly and the blonde nodded in agreement,"Yeah, I recalled that..sorry again about that bumping alright?" "A-Ah no! It's okay! I should be the one to say sorry!" The purple-haired flailed her hands on her chest level and the blonde chuckled,"So...I'm afraid I haven't introduced myself. I'm Eli Ayase. And you?" Nozomi smiled and replied,"I'm Nozomi Toujou." And then sparkling objects surrounded them as they slowly faded and the duo were very surprised about it.
"No..what's happening?!" Eli looked at Nozomi,"I want to talk to you more!"
"Eli! We will talk again soon!"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Eli's eyes opened suddenly while panting and then looked around, she is back at the laboratory with Tanya who has her arms crossed,"So how was it?" The white-haired asked and the blonde looked at her while sweat-dropping.
"I finally met her.." And that answer made Tanya smile,"Good. Now let's go to the training room. I want to see your capabilities in fighting." And the white-haired then turned her heels and left the laboratory. Eli nodded and then followed her. After a moment of walking, they have finally arrived in the training room where they have complete equipment. Guns, katanas, gauntlets and others. There is also a large and wide blue padding at the center. The blonde just looked around and Tanya went to the guns section to take two of them and handed them to Eli,"Can you use these?"
"Of course!" Eli then took them with curiosity,"Good, 'cause I don't like people who cannot fight alone when they are a secret agent themselves." The white-haired replied as she went to the very edge of the room where the door is near and clicked her fingers, letting the floor cut into two and separate from each other, then targets started floating from the open ground and the targets' own floor covered the blank part of the floor.
"I want you to show me how you shoot. From steady targets up to moving targets." Tanya crossed her arms and Eli looked at her for a moment before looking back at the targets,"Alright.." And then, the blonde's eyes narrowed and raised up both of her arms while gripping the guns' handles tightly, her eyes then focused on their sights and after a few seconds, she began shooting and how many bullets she has fired, she didn't know. She kept shooting at the targets and there came moving targets, she then focused her attention to them and began shooting. Tanya, who was watching from behind her has her eyes widened in shock.
After a moment, Eli stopped shooting when she ran out of ammo and looked at the targets, all the bullets hit all the targets' foreheads and the fresh bullets were still sizzling from the targets' foreheads.
Tanya has her jaw dropped and the blonde turned to look at her,"Anything else?" The white-haired just nodded and clapped her hands slowly,"Splendid...where did you learn those high accuracy? Those head shots?"
Eli blushed while smiling,"W-Well...I'm flattered, I learned them by myself. I took sharpshooting lessons from my mother and practiced them at the women's Red Bullet Agency.
"I see, you are interesting, now let's go to the next one." Tanya clicked her fingers and the targets went down and the two floors that separated a while ago were combined again, getting the environment back to normal. Tanya then went to the padding and looked at Eli,"Let's spar then!" The blonde nodded and followed Tanya to the padding, turning to her and they are now facing each other.
Tanya then squated down a bit, moving the left side of her body backwards and extended her left hand, doing a 'Come on' gesture,"You first."
Eli nodded and then suddenly charged at the white-haired, releasing a light punch on her face but Tanya used her right hand to land an uppercut on Eli's fist,jerking it upward, the blonde was surprised a bit and quickly twirled her body starting backwards and landed an elbow attack on the white-haired's side of the head but the other noticed that quickly and blocked it with the back of her hand, she swiped it off and jerked her body up to land a kick on Eli's head but the blonde blocked it with the back of her hand and swiped it off before she jumped back to make a distance.
"You are not bad!" The white-haired smiled and the blonde did the same,"Same to you!" Eli then charged again and released an uppercut, and as her fist is only centimeters away from Tanya's chin, the white-haired simply moved her head back while moving her face up before she jumped slightly and landed a toe attack on Eli's chin but the blonde did the same dodging process and they both back-flipped before they collided to each other again, sending each other's punches and kicks while they dodge or block each of them elegantly.
After a while, they then stopped once they send each other's punches to each other's fists. Tanya then stood up erectly with a smile,"I like you. It seems we'll get along." Eli then stood up also before nodding with a smile,"Yeah."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"By the way, Tanya.." Eli called the white-haired out as they walked back to the meeting room, Tanya stopped walking and then turned to her with an eyebrow raised, encouraging her to continue.
Eli sighed deeply,"How long can I talk to her?"
"That necklace holds little energy so you can only be with her for 5 minutes per day."
The blonde nodded,"I see...damn I miss her so much.."
Tanya smiled,"I understand and that is why we are going to destroy Anti-Population. Now go get some good rest, alright?" The blonde nodded and then walked around Tanya to walk off. The white-haired watched her walk away before she entered the meeting room.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Eli's POV
At first I was very unsure but now I finally understand...
I was in my own room and I was just holding up the necklace Tanya gave me and stared at it for a long time.
I never thought that I would get to see her...my significant other that I have been wanting to have...it is already a miracle that I have met her and knew her name. The only missing is our full communication..I hate having 5-minute conversations but do I have a choice? At least I get to see her and I guess that is enough for me. Wait, Eli! Stop! You don't know her yet and here you are thinking about her! Is this love at first sight!? You have to get to know her first!
Anyway! I have to get some sleep so then I could talk to her tomorrow, I have to say hi to her so then I would get motivated.
So I placed the necklace on the bedside table and then positioned myself in my bed and closed my eyes to sleep...
