Alisa, Sapphire, Kota and Soma have to eliminate two Chi-Yous and they were separated into 2 groups, again. Alisa was practically nervous around Sapphire ... especially with that tight pants and with that Azure Layer outfit, he look more like a cop, A devilishly, handsome cop. But in Sapphire's mind, "Great, I can't believe I have to wear these tight pants...well at least I look like a bad-ass policeman, and is Alisa staring at me? ... Yes, yes she is ..." And Sapphire didn't seem to mind.
Within Alisa's mind, "Wow, he looks good; I think he looks good on any clothes, but, wow! With this one he looks ... Sexy ... Wait did I just imagined him like that? I got to snap out of it! I have to focus!" As hard as Alisa trying to focus, she keeps failing because the image of a sexy Sapphire the policeman, keeps appearing in her head ... she blush madly at this, every-time.
Of course, being the observant person he is, well not quite, Sapphire notice Alisa's red cheeks from time to time and instead saying what's wrong he thought, "She's cute when she blushes ..." Anyway, despite being distracted, Sapphire sees something charging towards them, "Holy-, Alisa watch out!" he alerted, "Huh?"
Alisa turns around just to see a Chi-You ready to hit her, "Kyaaa!" But Sapphire swiftly blocked the attack. "That was close!" Sapphire said, but then got hit-err slap by the Aragami, but regain his stance and fight back. Alisa just keeps slashing the Aragami, hoping to make it weaker but to no avail, and then the Aragami spins around knocking both of the Gods Eater.
As skillful fighters, both recovered from the attack and Sapphire took this time to say "Alisa dear, I think this going to take a while." and Alisa just continues to fight and all the while keeps wondering does Sapphire just called her dear?
Sure enough, it takes a while, within 13 minutes, the Chi-You have finally fallen, but the battle isn't painless. "Ow! Ow! Now I know how Brendan feels when he got shot by Kanon!" Sapphire says while holding his back in pain. Apparently, Alisa accidently shot him, she WAS aiming at the Aragami, but it dodged and the Oracle bullet went towards Sapphire, Alisa couldn't stop apologizing. "Sorry! I'm sorry, I really sorry!"
Sapphire forgive her, of course, "Okay, no, seriously, I'm fine, see? Ow! It burns!" He moaned in pain, whilst enduring the burning sensation at his back.
Alisa felt guilty, she hurts the person she loves, and how is she going to repay him? So this must be how it's feels, when Kanon misfires at Brendan. "Okay... let's proceed to our mission, shall we?" Sapphire commanded, he looks at Alisa and knows that she still feels guilty about it, so he decided to cheer her up. "No worries Alisa! When I was in a mission with Kota, both of us keep misfiring at each other because the Kongou was good at dodging and when we're finally finished and went back at the Den, we were feeling sore all over!"
Sapphire laughs as he recalled the painful, yet hilarious memory. Alisa was laughing as well, because of the story and also the fact, that Sapphire was cheering her up, so she feels relieved, "...Thank you, Sapphire."
"Anytime, now let's go help Kota, I think I just heard him screaming just now ..." Alisa agrees, "Alright!" They went ahead to help Kota and Soma. As time went on the mission has been completed, and they return to the Den, feeling very glad, surviving the day.
The next day is pretty event-less, no mission, just relaxing. Since nothing is happening for today, Alisa just took the time to relax in her room. After a while, she started to get bored, she really wish that someone would visit her and talk to her just to make the boredom go away. She wish that the visitor would be Sakuya ... or maybe even Sapphire, but she knows that's not going to happen.
Just then she heard a knock at the door, "Coming!" As she opens the door, she was very surprise, because the visitor is none other than Sapphire. "Hello Alisa! Thought I come visit you, because I was so bored and I also want to spend time with you!" He explained.
Alisa was still surprised to say anything except, "Okay ..." Sapphire then sits at the nearby sofa while Alisa prepares some tea for him. She seems calm at first, but what is going in her mind: "Oh my gosh! What should I do? He's in my room, alone! With me! Wait Alisa, you have to stay calm, just be casual … be casual".
As she prepares the tea for both of them, she was trying to be casual and talk to Sapphire. "So, do you have any particular reason to not hang out with Kota?" Sapphire answer, "Well ... I'm just going to say, 'Bugarally', and you already know how he is with that show. "
Alisa understood very well upon hearing this, "That, and the fact that I wanted to spend time with you, so ... there." he continued. Alisa has to agree with Sapphire about Kota watching too much Bugarally, and she is also happy when he said he wanted to spend the day with her.
"Yeah, he sure does..." Sapphire than decided to change the subject, "Anyway, what have you been up to? Other than being in the mission, I mean". This is not a kind of question that Alisa could tell him; she is not going to say "Oh nothing, I talked to Sakuya about how I have a giant crush on you…" No, she won't be telling him that anytime soon.
"Uh … I'm ... uh …" She has trouble answering, and the fact that Sapphire is eager to hear her answer is not helping her much. "Well, I was just busy ... doing some ... research on the Aragami." Sapphire raises his eyebrow, and then he asks her again.
"What kind of Aragami?" She answer again, "Well, it's about uh … Fallen Orgetail?" Sapphire blinked, curious, he asks again, "Why the Fallen Orgetail? I mean they are an easy bunch of Aragami" He stated.
Again, Alisa tries to answer. "Well, it pays to be careful..." Sapphire just nods his head, "... Okay ... that makes sense, sort of." This time Alisa ask him a question, "So what have YOU been doing recently?" Knowing Sapphire, he's going to say something silly … Alisa was wrong … well not really.
"Well not much, just ... uh ... been thinking ... that's all, nothing much, yeah …" Sapphire answered quickly, leaving Alisa confused ... and curious. "Really, then just what are you thinking about?" Sapphire then answered, "The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one answer I accept." Alisa is even more confused, so she muttered, "Huh?"
Then Sapphire laugh at Alisa dumbfounded state. "Ha ha, you should see the look of your face!" Alisa was very surprised, "You were joking?!" She was mad, but then she laughs along with Sapphire, the mood was turn to cheerful. After they stop laughing, Sapphire told the truth, "Actually, the truth is, I think we should get to know each other a better, don't you think so?"
Alisa is surprise when he said this, "Y-yeah, I … agree with you …" Then they talk about all kinds of stuff, what colors do they like, what type music do they like and they also talk about fashion, and Alisa was surprised to know that Sapphire knows a lot of fashion as much as her ... or more.
They spent the rest of the day talking; Alisa and Sapphire were having a good time. Meanwhile, Sakuya was going to put her plan into motion, "This is going to be perfect" She says to herself.
As the day was ending, Sapphire was on his way back to his room, after having a good, long chat with Alisa. On the way, he was greeted by Sakuya, "Hello there Sapphire!" Sapphire greeted back in his own way, "Huh? Oh! Hi there, Sakuya! What's up?" Sakuya then answered, "Oh nothing, except could you help me with this one mission?" Sapphire, of course, agrees to help, but then Sakuya says, "There just this one problem, I couldn't be there".
Upon hearing this, Sapphire was confused, "Wait, why?" She then answers, "Because I'll be busy, so I couldn't come, oh, and bring Alisa with you, I think she needs the practice, but don't tell her I told you to." Sapphire then nods his head, "Oh, Okay." Sakuya then rush away while thanking him, "Thanks, I'll repay you somehow!" and with that Sapphire walks to his room, preparing for the oncoming mission tomorrow.
But then he feels that he forgotten something, "Wait, where do I put my headphones?"
