2 Days Later... 11:37AM.

Inside Of A Large Open Space Inside Of A Mansion Like Building With A Strikingly Modern Look And A Distinct Mini Badge On A Set Of Ebony Wood Doors With A Futuristic Badge Like Font With The Initials "SLT" On It And A Star At The Bottom, And The Door Suddenly Opens Revealing Two Older Women In All-Black Suits With Striking Resemblance To One Another.

Woman: Can You Believe Them Hina?, We Report To The Prime Minister, And Even He's Smart Enough Not To Ask Us What We Do, They Don't Care What We Do, They Care What We Get Photographed Doing.

Hina: Katsuki, That's Just How They Are, They're Always Gonna Cover There Asses When Something Goes Wrong, Whether It's Regarding SLT Or Direct Attack.

Katsuki: Maybe So, But How The Hell Could Kurai Be So Stupid?, We Clear Her For Freelancer Duty And She Celebrates By Shooting Up A Command Post, Is The Girl Deranged?, And Where The Hell Is She?.

Hina: The Times Have Changed, In The Old Days, If An Agent Did Something That Embarrassing, She'd Have The Good Sense To Defect, But Kurai Never Had Much Respect For The Rules Did She?, Or Any Other Lycoris That Grew Close To Her?.

Both Women Sigh Annoyingly.

Both: Christ, I Miss "Ruthless Rebirth".

Scene Switch. DA Building. Takina Is Standing In Front Of Commander Kusunoki's Desk In The Office Looking At A Paper Before Looking Up To The Commander.

Takina: A Transfer?.

Kusunoki: The Burden Of Ignoring Your Orders And Ruining The Entire Operation Is Heavy, And The Field Commander Reported That You Overstepped Your Bounds Aswell And That You Were To Much To Handle, There Will Be Two Other Lycoris At Your New Assignment, One Of Them Is Abit Cheeky And The Other Is Kinda Mysterious And Self-Righteous, But Both Are Top Tier, There Are Things You Can Probably Learn From Them.

And Upon Arrival Takina Spots A Sign Out Front Which Says.

"Cafe LycoReco"

Exquisite Coffee

"Served By Warm-Hearted Girls"

And Takina Steps Towards The Door And Opens It Slightly And Looks Around Rather Curiously With The TV Going And She Then Spots A Woman With Glasses And Brown Hair Wearing A Green Kimono Sitting At The Counter And Staring Angrily At A Magazine About Marriage.

???: And Someone With The Talent Of Being A Good Mother Is Being Twarted By An Obstacle Called Marriage!, I'm Totally Dissatisfied!, Just Tell Me!, Where's My Mister Right!?.

Reporter: (TV) Common Folk Being Jealous.

???: What Was That!?.

The Woman Then Notices Takina And Is Startled For A Second Before Gaining A Suspicious Expression.

???: Who're You?.

Takina: My Names Takina Inoue, I Was Transferred Here.

The TV Suddenly Switches Off And A Black Man Seemingly Middle-Aged Steps Up To The Counter.

Mika: So, Your Here Takina.

The Woman Stares At Takina For About 10 Seconds Before Going "Ohhh".

???: The Lycoris That Was Fired From The DA.

Takina: I Was Not Fired, I Was Ordered To Learn From You, Miss Chisato, While I Did Not Wish For This Transfer, It's An Honor To Have An Opportunity To Learn From One Of The Best Lycoris In Tokyo, I Would Like To Better Myself In This Field And Regain My Position Back At Headquarters.

Mika: That Isn't Chisato.

???: Don't Call Me "That"!.

Takina Then Looks Over At The Mika.

???: Not The Old Man, Either!.

Takina: Then, What About-?.

???: Not Kurai Either!.

Mika Holds His Hand Out For Takina To Take.

Mika: I'm Mika, The Supervisor Here.

Takina: Pleasure To Meet You.

He Then Turns To The Woman.

Mika: This Is Mizuki, Previously In DA, She Was In The Intelligence Division.

Takina: Previously...

Mizuki: I Got Sick Of It, The Creepy Syndicate Gathering Orphans And Making Lycoris Like You Hitmen?, No Thanks.

And Then A Cheerful Voice Is Heard Outside.

Mizuki: There You Go, The Walking Headaches Back.

And Chisato Walks Through The Door With Her Signature Cheerful Smile And Wearing A Red Kimono, Takina Recognizes Her From Chasing The Merc A Few Days Ago.

Chisato: Teach!, Big News!, Word Of Mouth On Tabe-Mog Says That The Servers In Our Shop Are Cute!.

Chisato Then Pulls Out Her Phone And Looks At The Forum On Screen.

Chisato: They're Talking About Me Right?.

Mizuki: They're Talking About Me!.

Chisato: Your Face Should Be The Only Joke You Make, You Drunk.

Chisato Attention Turned To Takina.

Chisato: Oh, A Lycoris.

And Then The Patch On Her Cheek.

Chisato: Wait, What Happened To Your Face?.

Mika: It's The Lycoris I Mentioned, We Talked About It, Right Chisato?.

They Both Turn To Mika Immediately.

Mika: You Two Will Be Partners Starting Today, Be Nice To Each Other.

Takinas Face Doesn't Change Much, But Chisatos Face Grows Into An Cheery Smile With A Slight Blush On Her Face.

Both: So She Is.

Chisato Then Grabs Takinas Hands And Gets Right In Her Face As Takina Has A Rather Surprised Expression.

Chisato: Nice To Meet You "Partner"!, I'm Chisato!.

Takina: I'm Takina Inoue, Nice To Meet-

Chisato: Takina!, We Haven't Met Before, Have We?.

Takina: Um, Yes, I Was Just Transferred Over From Kyoto Last Year.

Chisato: Oh, One Of Those Transfers!, So Your Top Tier!, How Old Are You?.

Takina: I'm 16.

Chisato: So I'm One Year Older, But You Don't Need To "Miss" Me At All, It's Okay To Call Me "Chi-sa-to"!.

And Then Another Girl With Silver Hair And Eyes Wearing All White Open Jacket Showing A White Sleeveless Bodysuit Top Underneath, A White Longskirt That Goes Down To Her Lower Legs Along With White Boots Walks Into The Cafe With A Patch On Her Face Just Like Takina, Except It's For A Cut, And She Also Has A Bandage Wrapped Around Her Right Hand, Takina Recognizes Her Aswell From The Merc Chase, Aswell As The Crazy Shenanigans She Pulled During It, Aswell As The Outcome She Gave For The Chase.

Kurai: Sorry I'm Late.

Kurai Walks Past Takina Simply Glancing At Her With Her Intimidating Eyes And Giving A Wave Before Sitting At The Counter In Front Of Mika And Resting Her Head On Top Of Her Arms.

Mika: Kurai..

Kurai Opens Her Eyes And Looks Up At Mika.

Mika: Back To Causing Trouble It Seems.

Kurai: Sorry, I'll Shoot The Camera First Next Time.

Mizuki Scoffs.

Mizuki: Or Yourself...

Kurai Glances At Mizuki With A Cold Stare.

Kurai: And Why Would I Do That?, Hm?.

Chisato: Kurai.., You Stormed Into A Command Post.

Mika: You Violated The Most Inviolate Rule Of International Relationships, And Why?.

Kurai Simply Closes Her Eyes Again In An Uncaring Manner.

Mizuki: So You Could Kill A Nobody, The DA Wanted To Question Him, Not To Kill Him!, For Gods Sake!, Your Display Some Kind Of Judgement.

Kurai: I Did, I Thought One Less Bomb Maker In The World Would Be A Good Thing.

Chisato Places A Hand On Kurai's Shoulder And Kurai Turns Her Head To Look At Chisato.

Chisato: Just Try And Calm Down Okay?, Your Overdeveloped Trigger Finger Could Cause Even More Trouble If You Don't.

Kurai Stares At Chisato Before Looking At Takina.

Kurai: Who's She?.

Mika: Your New Partner, Takina Inoue.

Kurai: One Of Those Transfers, Right?.

Mika: Yes.

Kurai: Hm.

Kurai Walks Up To Takina And Grabs Her Hand And Shakes It, Much Calmer Compared To Chisato.

Kurai: Nice To Meet You Takina, You May Not Have Noticed, But I Saw You With The Other Transfers A Year Ago, I Look Forward To Seeing What You Can Truly Do, And Not Just Act On Your Own And Do Whatever It Takes To Protect Your Teammates, Which I Respect.

Takina Can Sense The Aura Of Mystery Around Kurai, Her Voice Is Deep, But Her Tone Is Rather Normal, But Those Half-Closed Eyes Give Takina An Off Feeling, And Then A Wild Chisato Emerged.

Chisato: Yeah, What You Did The Other Day Was Amazing, Is That An Honorable Wound On Your Face?.

Takina: No.

Chisato Seemed Confused, But Kurai Touches The Patch And Around It, Which Takina Earns A Not Very Noticable Blush At The Gentle Touch.

Kurai: That's No Battle Scar.

Chisato: Hm?.

Takina: How Can You Tell?.

Kurai: How Can You Not?.

Any Questions, Let Me Know.
