Chapter 27-b: A New Minder
It was a lovely evening in Prism, and no one was really minding what was going on around them.
No one cared for the many different faces that wandered the streets, but there were many that stopped to ogle at a few other details which would catch their attention. Beautiful bodies were no novelty in Prism, but that didn't make men and women any less attractive to others. And there were a few specimens that gained more interest than anyone else.
To say that Ifera had long learned this was how things worked would be a misunderstanding. She knew they stared at her, but she never connected dots; it was because of her curvaceous body held tightly by her skimpy dresses. In fact, having long shelved the hopes of understanding modern Prime/Human culture, the Coyote Narakhan had ruled it as people being jealous for the one thing they didn't have at the time. Pizza. Such a delicious thing to have at that.
Of all things the former assassin had learned to love about this wider world was the food. Pizza was her love- why wouldn't it? It was delicious, she could eat it for lunch and dinner, and there was variety on the various versions to try out. Some good, some bad- but it was so expanded that it made for a good main dish to dig for.
That being said, Ifera was not exactly a civilian. Sure, she no longer served the long-defunct Emperor faction and she really wanted to just be 'lazy and enjoy life' as Lady Ambar had told her to do. But work was fun if it was interesting. And at times, that translated in her getting a few simple assignments to pay rent, be a working member of society- have money to buy pizza. Simple stuff.
Yet, this time around as she sat down by a nearby bench to answer her phone, she was surprised by what Lady Ambar had to say about this.
"A new mission?" Now, that was exciting news. She was feeling a bit bored, so that could raise her spirit a bit.
"Yes, your newest goal is to keep an eye on two individuals which have Nanozell Spirits. The group that is targeting those may try to attack them and-"
"I will stop them easily," She confirmed confidently. "You know me."
"I do, which is why I chose you. For your good skills in guarding people and for your love for pizza."
That last bit had Ifera pause mid-bite, she was quite close to finishing this last slice and what she just heard was... confusing.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, one of those you are protecting is Italian," The High Prime elaborated, setting down a peculiar hint by bringing up his culture. Italian and Pizza... this could only mean one thing and it was a good thing.
"...Go on."
I think I like where this is going~.
"And he knows how to make Pizza. Homemade one."
Oh Pandora, this is what- what she had been looking for! Not only an easy job, but also a guy that makes pizza!
"And what kind of person is he?"
"Nice, the other one that you're protecting is his girlfriend and... they are in an open relationship."
Which would also solve the lonely issue I have been having. This is a golden ticket for heaven!
"T-This sounds so good."
"Let's just say I owe him a favor for recent matters, and I believe you deserve a big reward for your good conduct. You have really improved since-"
"Chaos is still better," She smugly replied, knowing it would irk Ambar a bit and causing the High Prime to groan in faux annoyance.
"Eventually, dear, you will see... 'the Light', so to speak."
"Yeah, yeah. So, where does this guy live?"
Never once did Ifera think she would end up bolting to reach her mission's location despite the fact it was a non-urgent one.
AN
I had promised her return and, yes, Ifera is back! This time bringing forth a 'redeemed' personality which tackles her original clumsiness in a new manner. At the same time, her arrival brings issues because there's indeed a group targeting people with Nanozell Spirit. A cult which wants to go all religious about the Queendom and stuff like that. And let's just say that Ifera is good at her job and her actual wards are three, not two.
