The next day will surprise the First Unit, especially Sapphire. As all of the First Unit is called to the Entrance to assemble, Sapphire arrive first, then Alisa, Kota, Sakuya and Soma, in that order.

All members have assemble and is now waiting for Tsubaki, Kota ask why they've been called, "Hey, I came because they called this meeting all of the sudden. What's going on?" Alisa answers him, "I really don't know. And even if I did know, I certainly wouldn't tell you."

Sapphire is suppressing himself from laughing, Alisa then turns to Sakuya for answers, "Sakuya, do you know anything about this?" Sakuya didn't know anything about this meeting as well, "No, I haven't heard anything. Still, it's pretty unusual for all of us all to be summoned."

As soon she has said that, Tsubaki has arrives, "I see you're all here." she said as she glance at the entire group, "Administration officially announce a new appointment today." She then turn to Sapphire, "When the current mission has been cleared, you will be appointed Captain of the 1st Unit, Preservation Bureau, and Fenrir Far-East Branch." Sapphire may not look surprised, but he actually is, "From now on you're the Leader of this Unit, I'm counting on you." Tsubaki finishes.

Kota awed, "Whoa! You've got promoted! And it's a huge promotion! What do they called this kind of thing? Supplanting one's superior?" Alisa counter that sense, "Actually, that's a kind of betrayal!" Sapphire's mind began to wonder.

Sapphire snaps out of it when Alisa said, "Once again, I'm looking forward to working with you, isn't that right, Sakuya?" But Sakuya seems a bit distracted, "Sakuya?" Alisa said again, Sakuya answered, "Huh? Oh, yes, right." She then turns to Sapphire, "Leader, huh? Somehow you seem a bit dependable now!" she said happily, "Well then... I know you'll have my back ... I'm looking forward to working with you!"

"Don't get ahead of yourselves; you won't be officially being appointed as Leader until you've completed this mission", Tsubaki said and explains the responsibility as a Leader, "It's true that the Leader is bestowed with certain powers befitting the position." She continues, "But the responsibilities he must shoulder are of equal weight. Not just his capacity as a Gods Eater... He's also charged with making sure his team members returns safely."

"Don't die. You must all come back alive. That's an order", as she's saying that, all of the First Unit looks down, except Soma, "Now then! Stop daydreaming." Tsubaki ordered, snapping them all from daydreaming, sort of. "Go fulfill your mission!"

The mission is called the 'Winter's Dawn', where the objective is to hunt the Vajra. To sum it up, the 1st Unit completed the mission and then Sapphire is called to the Executive Office, to be brief by the Director as his status as a Leader. Sapphire may not have shown it, but he is nervous as hell, "What will happen now?" he thought to himself, after that Sapphire have been doing his Leader's work, and he isn't seen for a while.

One week later. In Alisa's room, she is relaxing after she'd help Sakuya on various hunting mission, so after being so busy for the last few days, she exhausted, so she's finally getting some well-deserved rest.

She hasn't seen Sapphire for while, and when she finally did see him, he usually in a rush to do his mission, and didn't have time to spend with Alisa. But he does e-mail her from time to time. So she is reading the e-mails now, "Alisa, you there? Haven't seen you for a long time, because I'm so busy ... Sorry!" in Sapphire's mail with a smiley face at the end.

Alisa smiled because he seems to always remember her, "No, its okay you've been busy… I have been helping Sakuya as well." she replies. Later, he replies to her reply, "You were? Okay, but I'm still going to make up the lost time to you." As Alisa read this she was so happy, she replied back, "Well, you don't have too ..." He replied again, "Nope, I will, and you won't be able to stop me." Alisa is now beyond happy, but she got another mail from him, "P.S. Do you have some more of those delicious cakes?" Alisa just rolled her eyes.

Another day passed by, and Sapphire finally got to relax, in the evening. "Ah, finally, a chance to relax ..." he then flops down to his bed and rest. After a while he stood up, getting bored, and he scratches his head wondering what to do, "... Now what should I do?"

As if the fate has plan for him, Alisa comes and visits him, making this evening an enjoyable one. "Sapphire, it's me, Alisa", she said as she knocks the door.

Sapphire then opens it and welcomes her, "Oh welcome, so what brings you to my humble abode?" He said jokingly. Alisa giggles and answered him, "To spend time with my boyfriend!"

Then Sapphire said absentmindedly, "In the evening? How suspicious ... but who cares?" Alisa just roll her eyes and sit on his sofa, Sapphire does the same, then Alisa snuggles near him and both got all cozy, Sapphire took this moment to say, "We haven't spending time together, for quite a while, huh?" Alisa just nodded, "Yeah ... because we've been busy ..." Sapphire hugged her a bit tighter.

Meanwhile, in Kota's room, Kota was watching another episode of Bugarally, then he let his mind wandered, what has Sapphire been up to? "Must busy doing those entire Leader's work ..." he deducted. He then continues watching Bugarally; apparently this episode is showing a romantic scene, and Kota awed, "Aww how cute!"

This scene is exactly what Alisa and Sapphire is doing. He kissed her, then said, "I always think of you when I'm in a mission … a reminder that there is a beautiful girl waiting for me back home ... sounds a bit corny, but hey, that's how I feel!" He joked at the end. Alisa smiles as her cheeks turn red, "Wow, I'm flattered ..." then she remembered Sapphire's mission.

"Oh, that reminds me, what is your mission about anyway?" she decided to ask, Sapphire says playfully, "I sorry, that's classified information, ma'am." Alisa is not amuse, "Oh come on, please?" Sapphire laugh and says, "Okay, okay, only because you say please ... well, how should I say this ... I only did three mission within this week, it was very hard ..."

Alisa wondered what kind of hard mission he is going through. He continued, "If you really want to know, the mission I've been doing is pretty much hunt a bunch of particularly hard Aragami ... alone ...", Alisa gasp, "Alone!?"

Sapphire calms her, "Calm down, calm down, the Aragami isn't that hard to beat ... don't give me that look, I know I said that the mission is hard, I didn't say the Aragami is hard ... and I know I said I was alone during the mission, but I was being VERY careful..."

Alisa still giving him the 'I worried about you' look. "I just so-" Sapphire interrupts her, "Worried about me?" Alisa continued, "-Concern, I'm going to say concern about you..." Sapphire sweat dropped.

Alisa's getting seriously concern, "I'm serious! I'm concern about you!" Sapphire understands and reassured her, "I'll be fine, and like I said before you are the reason I have to come back alive, unless you're with me of course."

Alisa kind of felt reassured from his word, "Don't worry", Sapphire said as he kiss her, Alisa hug him a bit tightly, holding to his word that he'll be fine. It was a very sweet moment; in fact it was so much of a sweet moment that both fell asleep at each other arms.
