Meanwhile, in a lounge inside the headquarters of Infester Slayer Corps...
"Hahaha! I win!" Ume shouted cheerily as she was playing Monopoly with Gyutaro, Shinobu and Susamaru.
"Damn it, I've already spent all of my money" Susamaru sighed.
Shinobu then glanced at the clock on the wall. The current time was 9:42PM now.
"Guys, I need to go out for a while" Shinobu said as she rose from her seat.
"Eh? Where did you want to go?" Ume asked.
"I need to talk something with Tomioka-san, that's all" Shinobu answered.
"You want to go out for a date with him?" Gyutaro asked with teasing manner.
"What!?" Shinobu was blushing deeply in embarrassment. "N-no! It's just a hiking trip in next weekend!"
"Whatever, I hope both of you end up kissing so we can take some pictures of you and him" Susamaru was the next to tease him.
Shinobu just puffed her face as she angrily walked out from the lounge.
As Shinobu exited the lounge, she noticed her older sister, Kanae walked alone along the hallway.
"Nee-san?"
Kanae turned her face towards Shinobu.
"Shinobu! I want to go to Yummyzone with Tamayo-san, so do you want me to buy anything?" Kanae asked.
"I think I just want a spicy tempura squid" Shinobu replied.
"Alright!" Kanae smiled. "Tomioka-san is already waiting for you at his office"
Shinobu was startled a bit. Why everyone tend to tease about her relationship with Giyuu?
...
"We're supposed to retrieve the gemstone back! But instead we're wasting our time by chasing that stupid doll for one hour!" Mordrezan was scolding Orbaum.
"Come down, lad! You don't know what that beast can do to us!" Orbaum talked back.
"Enough of your excuse! Now let's focus again on our main task!" Mordrezan yelled.
"I suppose that we need to get out from this ugly place, aren't we?" Vozurek said.
"Hahahaha! You're so funny, Kaigaku-kun!".
"Shut up!"
Out of sudden, the aliens just heard several a familiar male voice from nearby.
"Wait a minute..." Mordrezan narrowed his eyes.
From the darkness of the sewers, three familar male figures showed themselves up. Their reputations are known for the most powerful superhumans in the city.
"Do you know that-"
Douma noticed they just stumbled upon the aliens.
"Well, well, what do we got here?" Douma kept fanning himself. "A group of dumb aliens!"
"You better shut your mouth, ugly hair! I'm going to cut your tongue soon!" Mordrezan threatened.
"What are you mobsters doing here?" Kokushibou asked with threatening manner.
"That's none of your business!" Mordrezan yelled.
"The only thing we know is to break the bones of our enemies!" Vozurek shouted.
"I'll cut you to pieces first!" Kaigaku shouted back.
"You want to fight, huh!? Then come!" Mordrezan challenged as he aimed his laser gun towards his opponents.
"Then you'll regret it" Kokushibou was prepared to unsheath his katana.
...
"Shinobu, are you there?"
Kanae just entered the office when she saw Giyuu arranged the files on the shelf. Shinobu meanwhile rested her head on the table, sleeping quietly.
"Yes?" Giyuu glanced at them.
"Shinobu asked me to buy a spicy tempura squid" Kanae placed Shinobu's meal on the table.
Shinobu slowly raised her head.
"Nee-san?" Shinobu rubbed her eyes.
"Good thing that you've awake. Here, i've buy your friend tempura squid" Kanae smiled.
"Thanks, nee-san" Shinobu took the fried tempura squid before ate it.
"Alright, I want to go eat now in the kitchen. You can find me in there if you need anything" Kanae then exited Giyuu's office.
"Want me to make some coffee for you, Kochou?" Giyuu offered.
"Okay" Shinobu nodded.
Giyuu also exited his own office, leaving her alone in there.
However, as she was eating, Shinobu noticed the door was opened from outside.
"Oi!"
Much to her own chagrin, it was Ume and Susamaru, and she could felt the girls only came to bother her.
"Yes?" Shinobu raised her eyebrows.
"Have you kissed Tomioka-san yet, Shinobu?" Susamaru asked as both of the girls giggled together.
Shinobu was irritated, yet she only kept forcing herself to smile.
