At least now that I'm having quite a lot time in my hand, I want to do some writing so I won't get too dull. I hope this short chapter can lighten up your day with the barrage of joke about Jin and Noel. I still love this couple so damn much! I have recently gotten myself Chrono Phantasma, I'm so happy to indulge myself in the great story of this BlazBlue game!
Well, enough talking, enjoy the chapter!
Smart Noel Vermillion
Chapter 2: Enough!
Jin sat still in his office. His eyes stared at the blank desk on which the mountain of paperwork used to lie. It was bizarre to him in every manner possible. He was dumbfounded by this change. It was not that he wanted to deal with those work; he was delighted to be relieved from such duty, in fact. It was the reason behind this difference was what ticked his very brain.
"Well, I suppose this little piece of trash can be "useful" once in a while." Jin murmured and looked around the room, trying to find some forms of entertainment to escape from the dead boredom. He tried to search for a piece of paper and perform his paper basketball shot. "DAMN IT, VERMILLION!" He yelled as the room was completely clean. There was not a single piece of paper he could find to throw away. The major looked at the wall, and picked the framed certificate which said: Jin Kisaragi – Promoted to the Major rank on … He did not care about that. The man quickly took out the frame, planning to crumble it into a paper ball. The door opened. Jin's about-to-be-excited face frowned into a sickened expression.
"My dear major! I have something for you." A sweet voice at the door sent a chill down Jin's spine. It was familiar; it was disgusting. Noel entered the room with a bright smile. Her hand held a tray of newly baked cookies. For a short moment, the major thought he saw the death's face in the steam smoking up from the surface of her deadly food.
"Lieutenant Vermillion, I … order you to get this damn piece of shit out of my office immediately. Cookies, I mean, food is not allowed in the office under any circumstances." Jin's voice was stern. He wanted to, once again, clearly established his dominance over her, his lowly subordinate. His eyes shot out a deadly glare at Noel, who looked back at him without any fear or concern.
"What's wrong, my major? You haven't been looking well recently. I … I just" It was not her deadly cooking skills that terrified him; it was her unwavering advance that intimidated him the most. The usual timid and clumsy Noel that he used to take pleasure bullying was gone. It was a complete different persona that encountered him this time.
"I just want to take a good care of my beloved major." She walked toward him.
"Stay where you are, lieutenant. I. Order. You. So!" He stressed each word, hoping that she would obey.
"B-but Major, you should at least try one of my cookies. It was all of my effort, my affection poured into this work of … art" Noel's teary eyes made Jin wanted to puke. He was familiar with her crying face every time he yelled at her uselessness. However, this expression was that of an over-zealous girl.
"PIECE OF ART, MY ASS! I'LL KILL YOU THIS INSTANCE!" Jin flung his fist with all of his fury. Noel dodged with ease while ensuring that her movement would not catapulted her cookies all over the place.
"Did you ... just dodged my attack?" Jin shot an ice arrow at her just to watch her evade the spell effortlessly again.
"Major, that's so mean of you." Noel pouted, picking up a cookie from her tray. "I guess I should feed you with one of this and you will be happy again."
"NO! I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOUR BULLSHIT! GET OUT OF THIS ROOM!" Jin angrily launched his barrage of ice needles at her. The lieutenant stepped aside and, in a flash, swept her leg to mow Jin down. As Jin landed on his back, before he knew anything else, the girl already sat on his chest, seductively licked her lip while putting the cookie toward his mouth.
"SCREW YOU! GET OFF ME!" Jin yelled even louder. He brawled his way out but his arm was locked tight by Noel's leg.
"Aww no, Major. Please don't struggle too much. That would reveal my undergarment." She blushed "unless you really want to." Her giggle disgusted him. Jin Kisaragi, the proud hero of Ikaruga, the major of NOL was lying here, being subdued by his secretary. He could not take that insult to his power.
"DAMN YOU, BITCH! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! JUST LET ME KILL YOU ALREADY!"
"Just one cookie. You will be fine. Now say: "ahhh".
"SOLDIER! ANYONE! GET RID OF THIS BITCH NOW!"
Noel put her face closer to his and whispered to his ear: "You know that this room is completely soundproofed, right? It's just us two here." After that, she put the cookie into his mouth opening wide by the shock. He did not have enough expressions or words, enough mental power to handle that such outrageous change.
"From me with love!" Noel winked at him with full confidence that he would like it. His eyes shut tight while chewing on the cookie, waiting for the death to come.
"It is … actually good. Where the heck did you learn "proper" cooking?" Jin was surprised by its quality. It was not deadly, it was delicious.
"Awww, Jin! You flattered me. It's just normal when I put so much love into it. It does not deserve your compliment; I should have made a much better work than this." Noel shook her head side-by-side like a shy girl in love.
"Now that I have eaten your cookie, can you get the hell off me! I've seen enough of your damn… undergarment and I've had enough of your impertinent behavior!"
Noel flustered and quickly covered her dress "Nooo! Jin saw my panties! You pervert!" She slapped him across the face much to his dismay. He shivered violently.
"GET OUT!"
Jin sat in his office. His desk was still empty. Having a "suddenly smarten up" subordinate like Noel certainly gave him more free time. However, having absolutely no work dulled his senses.
"Damn this, I have to talk to this piece of shit about the situation." Jin walked out of his office. His door hit someone as he opened it "Oww! Watch out, you … ehh? Major Kisaragi?" It was Sally, the navigator, Noel's close friend at the NOL.
"I-I'm so sorry for my rudeness, major!" Jin did not want to deal with her. Yet, he still had something to ask her. "Do you know where the hell is Noel Vermillion?"
"Noel? I just saw her at the canteen. Isn't it lunch time alrea- Wait up!" Jin left immediately.
As the major arrived at the canteen, he saw Noel conversing with her two co-workers.
"Say Noel, how could you solve those cases so fast! It used to take you days to just deal with a simple task." One of them was surprised by her "sudden evolution".
"Yeah, Noel! You can kick some asses now! What's your secret?" said the other person.
"You two said too much. It all thanks to major Kisaragi. He has been an inspiration! He taught me everything I need." Noel blushed while bringing up the answer.
"Major Kisaragi? I heard that he treated you like dirt. How come?" They raised their eyebrow.
"No no, it's not like what you heard. He's such a nice person! I …"
Jin wanted to burst in the room and dragged her out. "Hey, Kisaragi kid. Fancy seeing you here, boy!" A huge, beardy man tapped him in the shoulder while laughing out loud with his bass voice.
"General Anton? What are you doing here?" Jin frowned. He only met this man once in his entire life when he was promoted to the rank major.
"I was so busy but … I just have to see you. I'm so glad to meet you right here! Good news to you, you are promoted to the new rank, colonel!"
Those words buzzed in Jin's ears. "Colo- what? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Colonel, my son! You. Are. Promoted! Isn't that exciting?" His goofy, happy face was all the bad news Jin could take for the day. Jin, like a completely clueless idiot, shook his head in bewilderment.
"Why the hell am I promoted? What kind of joke is this, general?"
"Aww, c'mon, kid. Don't pretend to be surprised. Your contribution to the various combats against NOL rebellions has proven that you are the one of best officers of NOL. We decided that you need a better treatment than the boring, lowly rank of major so we promoted you. Now, show me that happy smile!"
The general embraced Jin with his gigantic figure, Jin struggled within his bear hug, trying to make sense out of the bull crap he had just heard. "What rebellions? What contributions?"
"Now now, Jin. Don't hide in the corner and try to fool around with my eagle eyes. Your talent should be used as the example to all the soldiers here! You beat the hell out of the rebels in Tokiwa district, in Hafune city, on and on. Your soldiers also put up a great performance in settling the peace in this area. You are hailed by your soldiers; you know?" The general brushed the newly promoted "colonel's head"
Jin swept the man's arm aside "Who told you all of this nonsense?"
"Your secretary, Noel Vermillion, of course! She's such a …" That name rang in Jin's ear like a living nightmare. He did not care about the rest of what the general had to say. His eyes were blank like a dead person.
"She's cute little bird. A great charm indeed, you are lucky to have a her as your aide! You two should – ey, Jinnie boy, are you with me?" the general lightly tapped Jin's face.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Jin walked toward the library, gritting his teeth in anger. "Damn this shit! I'll find out how to get rid of this damn curse, whatever it is that make this shitty Vermillion into this mess!"
Noel stick her out of the canteen, looking around with her innocent eyes. "Did I just hear major Kisaragi's voice?"
