Before the day ends, Sapphire mentions to Alisa about what he'll be doing next week, "Oh yeah, before I forget, I should tell you about next week." He said while lying down on Alisa's lap.

"What about next week?" Alisa questions him also while stroking his hair. "Well next week I'll be very busy … You know, leader's work … by the Director."

Sapphire tells her, Alisa's face was full of worry, "… I know I can't stop you, but please be careful, Sapphire …" With that, Sapphire reassures her, "Hey, you don't have to worry about me, you know I will be back … I always do, okay?"

He said sweetly while gently touching her face gently. "Okay Sapphire … Okay …" Says Alisa, as she closes the gap of their lips, they kissed.

Not a moment too soon that the day has ended. True enough, Sapphire is away for his mission, apparently it's classified. So as the week goes on, we take a look towards Onyx.

For the past few months, she has already gotten use to living with and working together with the members of Far East Branch. Along the time she has been busy as well, being from the Headquarters. She's not there for fun (not yet, at least); she's there to learn how to become a great Gods Eater.

But apparently, her cousin Sapphire thinks she should be more laid-back, relax and chill herself out. Right now, since she doesn't have any work, would love to do what her cousin suggested … even though he's away for a mission.

So she thought she could get something to eat at the Den's cafeteria. As she arrives there she meets with Alisa and also Kota.

She greets them, "Good morning, Alisa and Kota." Kota answers first, "H-hei, G-good morning Onyx!" Kota stuttered.

Alisa raises her eyebrow to his behavior, before replying to Onyx, "Huh … good morning to you as well Onyx." Onyx didn't notice Kota's stuttering. "So what do you guys having for lunch?"

Alisa replied first since Kota is tongue tied, "Well the usual, Onyx … You know how it is." Onyx slapped herself for her silliness, how can she forget that the menu doesn't change at all … Except if they can devour the core of the Aragami, then maybe. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that, sorry, Hehehe"

As soon as she said that Kota turns a bit red, "Cute …" Onyx didn't hear him, "What was that Kota? I didn't hear you." Alisa can now guess what's wrong with Kota.

"I … uh … I didn't say anything! Oh! Look at the time I got to go!" And with that, he sprint off towards the elevator like he was chased by a big Aragami.

Onyx was quite confused after that. Alisa now fully understands with what is wrong with Kota, and she can't wait to tell Sapphire the news, but before that.

"Well … Onyx, that's Kota for you, so why don't we get our lunch together?" Onyx can only nod her head and goes along with Alisa.

Now after that, another three days have passed. Today marks the day, Sapphire returns from his classified mission. Alisa was the first one to wait for him at the elevator, second being Onyx, third being Kota … whose nervousness could be guess why by now. "I still wonder what mission could take a week to finish."

Onyx wonders, Alisa also thinks about that, but she knows that it could be related to a very strong Aragami. Kota could only silence and stares at Onyx.

Just then the elevator opens to reveal … Someone with red clothing who they have never seen before. Alisa and Kota is confused to who this person might be, but not Onyx, because she knows who he is, "Phil? Is that you?"

And this Phil nods his head, "Yeah it's me, cuz, Along with 'Mr. Sapphire the Leader' here!" He said as he steps aside to reveal a very tired Sapphire.

"Yo." He simply said. Alisa and Kota could only be surprised. To which Sapphire says, "Long story, I explain later … Come on Phil, let's go see the Director, he would probably wants me to explain the situation."

Then Sapphire drags Phil to the elevator again and went to the Director's office.

Alisa, Onyx and Kota could only wait for Sapphire to explain later, in the mean time they waited for him on the cafeteria. Two hours later Sapphire and Phil arrives and proceeds to sit with the three of them.

"Well, that took you long enough! We were waiting for hours! … Two hours!" Kota complained. "Ah put your pants on, we're here already!" Sapphire replies back.

Onyx's impatience is expected, "Well, Phil, Why are you here from the Southern Branch?!" Phil could only answered by saying, "Long story …"

But in which case, Sapphire counter that by saying, "Long story short, in my mission, I was ask to bring him along … for Eastern and Southern relations … Also, he save my ass from a certain big Aragami … so yeah, that's about it."

Leave it to Sapphire to make things short; in any case Phil was quite proud of himself saving Sapphire, "Yeah, or else you might get squashed! Ahahaha"

Alisa doesn't like the sound of that, "Is that true Sapphire? I mean really? Was it 'that' dangerous?!" Kota asks too "Yeah, Seriously dude?!"

Apparently, Onyx seems curious as well. "Well, Sapphire?"

Sapphire slaps Phil at the back of his head, "What? No! He saves my ass by just being there! Not me being squash by an Ouroboros! Sheesh Phil!"

Phil rubs his head, Alisa, Kota and Onyx sweat dropped. Onyx then commented, "Phil, you never change …"

Alisa then rise from her seat and drags Sapphire away, "Well, let's go, we got a lot of stuff to talk about."

Sapphire understands, and let himself get dragged away, while Kota, Onyx and Phil got left behind, wondering. "Say Onyx, who's she, Sapphire's secretive girlfriend?"

Onyx shakes her head, "I don't know, they always seem close, right Kota?" Kota nods his head, "Uh yeah, they always do …" After that, the situation got real awkward.

"Uh … so … how you've been doing?" Phil asks Kota, trying to break the awkward atmostphere.

"Oh me? Well, uh … fine, I guess? You?" Kota asks him back, "Me? I'm fine and dandy … I think … I'm gonna walk away now … so … bye." Phil answered then walks away, leaving Kota and Onyx behind.

"That was awkward … So Kota let's spend some time together, you and I haven't gotten to know each other better."

After hearing that, Kota's face suddenly got red, "Oh, s-sure! Whatever you s-say! What w-we will be doing?" Kota is obviously excited at spending time with Onyx, alone, just the two of them.

"Well, let's walk around the headquarters, I always wanted to see around this place, but I never get the chance to." Onyx said clearly oblivious of Kota's weird behavior.

Author's Note:

And another chapter! So you all could probably guess what's wrong with Kota, and I bring another God's Eater OC just for the heck of it, he'll be trolling a lot.
