Volume 1

The Holy Light's Blessings On This Wonderful System!

Epilogue

The office's doors slid open with a soft whoosh, baring free to the center of the sector the busy office of Little Wing.

There weren't much people inside, as expected of a security contractor/mercenary outfit. Most of its members were either out on jobs or doing whatever it is mercenaries do on their free time.

The ones that are inside however, had varying reactions to the doors opening. Some gave a short glance, some did not mind.

There were some however, that had not noticed at all.

"Whaddaya mean the Kasch boy's still sleepin'?"

"Exactly as it sounds, Monsieur Boss! There's the occasional moaning and grunting, but still very much off into the land of dreams, yes?"

Monsieur Boss, as he was called by the receptionist, gave a gruff grunt as he returned his attention back to his monitor.

"Unbelievable. Emilia brought home trouble, as always."

"Ah, but the girl is doing much better these days, no? Kara is doing a splendid job of the whipping her into the shape!"

"Well, yer not wrong..."

Seeing as they were not going to be noticed any time soon, the reason the doors opened, a short, black-clad girl, started walking towards 'Monsieur Boss'.

Her boots tapped quietly against the cold office floor as she moved, her bright crimson eyes scanning the room.

With every turn of her head, her fiery red hair swayed along with the motion.

After a few moments, the boss noticed her. Finally, she thought.

"Hm? What's a kid doin' here?"

The girl's eyes twitched just a bit, but she managed to control herself.

"I-I'm not a kid. I'm here to sign up."

The boss's eyebrows rose at this. Of course, not one soul was able to see this, due to the unruly mop of hair that completely covered his eyes.

"Really now?"

"Yes, really. Do I need to show you my qualifications, booze man?"

The girl asked, hands on her waist. She was just a tad bit annoyed.

The boss just shrugged at this.

"Meh, we don't do that here."

The redhead was about to respond, but her words died down when the receptionist called out.

"Monsieur Boss, she is the one who sent the application request a few days ago."

"Huh, really? You're the Crimson Hunter?"

This time, it was the girl's turn to shrug.

"In the flesh."

The boss didn't answer, instead, looking over the basic info the girl gave along with the application request.

"Well, I'll be darned! Three years into the business and ya already got some nifty accomplishments. What made you want to join us? Usually, it's us huntin' fer recruits."

"Ehhh, I heard how you guys work. I liked it, so here I am."

The boss nodded along, skimming over the file.

"Uh-huh. Lessee... Crimson Hunter... Human, Seventeen Years, Neudaizian, Proficient in Double Sabers... Huh? No last name?"

"That's private."

The boss didn't seem to particularly care or mind however, finishing up his scan, and turning his attention back to the girl.

She straightened out just a bit.

"Alright. Here in Little Wing, we don't give a damn about who you were or what ya did before. You'll only go as far as you can take yourself."

The girl nodded in response to every point the boss explained.

Not the most enthusiastic of nods, but enough to show that she was listening, at the very least.

"We aren't the type to particularly look over yer shoulder while you work, so long as ya do what yer told, when yer told."

As soon as he finished talking, the boss stood up, absolutely dwarfing the girl in front of him.

This didn't intimidate her, not in any way at all. He gave a smirk of approval to this.

"Well, that's about it! I'll be looking forward to workin' with ya!"

The girl was able to notice the receptionist perk up upon hearing the boss's announcement. She turned her attention towards them with a big grin.

"Ooh! Felicitations! A new member!"

The girl's eyes twitched, stronger than before, as she watched a certain bounce as the receptionist stood up.

Ever so perceptive in certain matters, the boss gave a little smirk.

"Heh. Crimson Hunter Red, welcome to Little Wing!"
