Before ogami went to his room he heard sound

Unkown voice ; ahhhh

Ogami ; HUH? What is that it looks like someone is training wait I know that voice it looks like it coming from the stage

Ogami went to the stage to see sakura training with her sword

Ogami ; as I thought it was sakura-kun still I never knew she using a sword

Sakura ; ahhhhhh

Sakura was training with her sword and every swing is faster than before

Ogami ; I have to say she really good with the sword even better than the one I fought before not only that but every move of her is precise and accurate without wasting energy

while Sakura was training she caught ogami looking at her

Sakura ; ohh ogami-san

Ogami ; hey sakura-kun I am sorry did I interrupt your training ?

Sakura ; no not at all I almost finish anyways

Ogami ; I see but I have to say you really good with the sword

Sakura ; no problem by the way ogami-san how is your connections with the rest of the troop

Ogami ; well iris is good we close enough sumire-kun on the other hand she is how could I put it unbearable sometime if I say myself

Sakura ; yeah I feel you sometime sumire-san is arrogant too much arrogant but to be honest Despite that she really deliver what she said

Ogami ; I see that good and maria for some reason she rude to me and I don't know why

Sakura ; weird maria-san is nice even to me so I don't know why she like that with you

Ogami ; yeah maybe time will tell hey will you continue your training

Sakura ; yeah

Ogami ; maybe I can help with if you don't mind

Sakura ; are you sure ?

Ogami ; yeah I need to train myself too beside I am interested in swordsmanship

Sakura ; alright but be careful I am not easy especially in sword fight

Ogami ; I am count on it

Sakura ; alright ohh here it is a wooden sword I used it from time to time I have two so here is one for you

Ogami ; thanks alright are you ready

Sakura ; I am ready

Ogami and sakura stand in their positions to get ready

Sakura ; alright get ready and ….. go

Sakura attack ogami first her swing was fast and steady but ogami managed to block it in time

Sakura ; you block it !

Ogami ; you sound surprised ?

Sakura ; well everyone I fought in sendai weren't able to block my first strike fast enough so

Ogami ; I see (but still sakura-kun really strong with the sword I barely managed to block it I have to be careful )

Sakura then continue her attack on ogami and he managed to block all of it

Ogami ; ( I have to say she is really fast I have hard time attacking her I have to counter attack somehow )

Ogami then evade sakura swing and begin to attack her

Sakura ; ( even through ogami-san not as fast as me but each attack is strong and steady)

Ogami and sakura still training even through ogami managed to block and evade her attacks he still have hard time dealing with her

Ogami ; ( wow is been long time since I fought like that she is really good no even better than me in sword fight )

Sakura ; ( I know ogami-san is strong but to keep up with me for long time is been while since I fought like that )

Ogami and sakura they still fighting each time sakura attack with speed but couldn't land a hit and ogami each strike became faster than before

Sakura; ( his speed become more faster I have to finish before he become more faster )

Sakura then tried to make an opening for her last attack she then managed to almost land a hit but ogami immediately crouch and attack but she managed to dodge It and in split second her sword bacame close to ogami is neck result in him losing

After that they took some rest

Tired Sakura ; wow you really are strong to manage to keep up with me this long is it your first time with sword

Tired ogami ; not really I used sword from time to time but not like that I have to say you really good with the sword

Sakura ; thanks you I learned a lot from you

Ogami ; father ?

Sakura ; ohh I am sorry maybe I talk too much

Ogami ; is okay don't worry

Sakura ; thanks hey if you don't mind asking what kind of sword style you are interested in

Ogami ; well if I am being honest when I was a child I was interested in Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū style

Sakura ; wait isn't that dual sword style why ?

Ogami ; well I thought It was cool back then fighting holding two swords

Sakura ; cool hahaha ogami-san really

Ogami ; what it was in the past but still I really want to learn it

Sakura ; well if you don't mind we can have a duel here on the stage from now on maybe we could learn from each other

Ogami begin to be angry after hear that

Angry Ogami ; ( are you really serious RIGHT NOW if that the case then WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE )

Yoneda ; still they are the only one who can make the koubu work

Ogami ; (koubu ?! wait isn't that the secret weapon that sakura-kun talked about before he said they are the one who can make the koubu work could it be that not everyone could use it )

Yoneda ; that why I will make my best to protect those girls while giving them as much freedom as possible

Ogami ; ( manager I … I don't know what to say ? you have all those responsibility on your shoulder and sakura-kun and everyone else they have no other choice but to go to the battlefield because they are the only one who can use that secret weapon ….… alright I will try to protect them too as their captain )

Ogami knocked the door

Yoneda ; who is this ?

Ogami ; it's ogami can I come in

Yoneda ; sure the door is open

Ogami ; excuse me

Ogami opened the door and got inside

Yoneda ; is there something you want ?

Ogami ; well before that I don't know why those girls are assigned to be on the imperial assault troop but know this I will do my absolute best to protect all of them and keep them safe so if you don't mind what is our strategy and who are our enemies ?

And immediately they heard a gunshot

Ogami ; what th ? a gunshot

Maria ; is not far from here let's take a look

Ogami and maria went to where the gunshot coming from and saw two guys with guns and a women as hostage holding with her the money

Ogami ; looks like it's robbery

Maria ; yeah and in the middle of the day they are really so stupid

Ogami ; but why they should have known that it will be hard to do it especially here with the sound of the gunshot there something isn't right about it

After that the robber with the hostage began to talk

Robber ; stay back or the hostage will get hurt do you understand

maria saw that she was about to pull out her gun but ogami stopped her

Ogami ; wait maria don't do that

Maria ; why we need to save her don't tell me you will let her like that

Ogami ; I didn't mean it there is something wrong

Maria ; what do you mean

Ogami ; for some reason I feel those two are not alone

Maria ; huh!?

Ogami ; there are others

Maria ; what makes you say that ?

Ogami ; think carefully they could simply go away with the money without anyone notice right

Maria ; now that you mention it we heard the gunshot from them

Ogami ; exactly why would you make a noise in the middle of the day and make people focus on you

Maria ; mmmmmm wait could it be

Ogami ; exactly this is a distraction there should be something else

Maria ; mmm wait now that I think about it there was in the newspapers that a new diamonds arrived at a store not far from here could it be

Ogami ; yes maybe their real goal wasn't the money from that shop it was the diamonds all of this is just a distraction

Maria ; but why that store in particular

Ogami ; mmmmm you said the store with the diamonds are close right

Maria ; yeah

Ogami ; how much close exactly ?

Maria; if I am correct it should be in the other side of the same building of the store that is been robbing now

Maria then realized it

maria ; oh no

ogami ; exactly while we focus here they steal the diamonds from the other side lets go we should be able to stop them before it's too late

maria ; you are right let's hurry

ogami and maria went to the other side of the building and saw the diamond store

maria ; here it is the diamond store what should we do we can fight them

ogami ; no if we do that the others robbers will hear the fight and maybe hurtthe hostage

maria ; then what do you think we should do ?

ogami ; I will go alone and take care of them without anyone notice it if I am right there should be least 2 or 3 of them stealing from inside the store

maria ; alone what about me then don't tell me you will do all of this by yourself

ogami ; no I need you and your gun to get ready after I finish with them I will distract the robbers with the hostage and then

maria ; I will get the drop on them

ogami ; exactly I will deal with the robbers on the store when the time comes you will know what to do

maria ; alright be careful

ogami ; I will now go

maria then returned to the shop where the robbers hold the hostage

maria ; I hope you know what are you doing lieutenant

the robber ; don't come any close you hear we just want the money and go nothing more

the robber with the hostage : what th ? how did you get here

ogami ; easy through the tunnel you made from that store you actually stealing from

the robber ; WHAT ? what are you talking about

ogami ; well I have to admit it was really clever of you to make a distraction here while the rest steal the diamonds and after everything is over you would return to the store through the tunnel you made and escape without been seen by anyone

the robber with the hostage ; dammit ….. you ruined our plan but still I have the hostage with me what are you gonna do now

ogami ; well like you I am not alone

the robber with the hostage ; huh?

After that he saw maria up close to the other robber with her black revolver pointed to his head

maria ; I think you were talking about me lieutenant

ogami ; indeed I am

maria ; thank you and if I were you I should drop the gun now before it could get worst

the other robber dropped his gun and surrendered while the other robber still with the hostage

the robber with the hostage ; dammit stay back don't come any close

ogami ; is over let the hostage go now

the robber with the hostage ; I don't think so you better stay back or else

ogami then began to get close to him slowly

the robber with the hostage ; I I said stay b-back d-didn't y-you h-hear m-me I said stay back

Immediately the robber pointed his gun to ogami but maria shot at the gun from the robber is hand made him dropped it

the robber with the hostage ; urghhh my hand

ogami ; well that would teach you that stealing is bad

maria came to ogami

Yoneda ; how is working here ?

Ogami ; well to be honest I was kind of angry at first for lying to me about the assault troop

Yoneda ; I know

Ogami ; but after working here and how everyone work well I think I found I think I like it

Yoneda ; what do you mean ?

Ogami ; well after I saw everyone here doing their best to make people happy I decide to help them and to be honest after what I been through its fine to be a ticket collector after all the killing I did in the past

Yoneda ; ogami ?

Ogami ; I….. I finally after so long I feel like I am doing something worth it and saw those girls really showed me that everyone can make something for people even if it means to a ticket collector you don't need to be a soldier for that

Yoneda ; I see

Ogami ; well sorry for talking too long anyway do need anything else manager

Yoneda ; no thanks that enough and good luck oh ogami

Ogami ; what is it ?

Yoneda ; well sorry for asking again but if there is anyone or anything who will any of those girls in danger what will you do ?

Ogami ; well that a weird question but if I give an answer I will do everything to protect them

Yoneda ; I see

Ogami ; and about the one who would put them in danger

Ogami face change to angry

Angry ogami ; I will make him pay for that

Yoneda ; …..I see well sorry for wasting your time you can go

Ogami face change fast to his normal

Ogami ; not at all well then I will go if you excuse me

Ogami left the room to go shopping

Yoneda ; ….. good he passed all the tests now and the most girls are happy with him after he finish his work is time reveal the truth to him

After sometime

While ogami was shopping

Ogami ; alright that should do it…. Still there is something going on the koubu and sakura-kun is swordmanship and maria is marksmanship and after sometime I discover that sumire-kun have high skill with the Naginata well actually it make sense since her family is famous of using the Naginata and iris she came all the way from france to here but she was living alone far away from her parents … what going on for some reason what count houji said to me despite being a lie he was like serious about it and this theatre the more the I ask myself the more questions appeared but more important what was the manager asked me about it before and why as if those girls are gonna be in danger in the future …. for now I shou…

Ogami immediately heard the alarm and noise of destruction come somewhere

Ogami ; huh ? what happening what with that alarm

Ogami then looked around to see some people run away from the destruction sound

runing citizen ; RUN THE HUGE MONSTER HAS RETURNED RUN

Random citizen ; oh no don't tell me is the same monster that appeared at ueno park last month has returned

Ogami ; what ? wait are they talking about the story when I first arrived ?

Ogami saw everyone terrified and scared running everywhere

Confused Ogami ; i….. what should I do ?

Ogami stay still for second and after that his face changed form confusion to serious

Ogami ; I ….. I cannot stand still without doing something I will go and see what happening there

Ogami then left all as groceries to someone and rushed to where the destruction is

Random citizen ; what are you doing the monster is there

Ogami ; I KNOW I AM GOING TO SEE IF I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

After sometime ogami arrived and saw what he didn't expect

Ogami ; what th?

What Ogami saw was a huge steam humanoid who was like a samurai and had a sword on his hand

Random citizen ; oh no I thought that girl destroy that monster at ueno park last time

Shocked Ogami ; what ? is that the monster that everyone was talking about are you telling me that a girl managed to destroy a monster like that with just a sword are you kidding me ?

The mother ; ON NO MY CHILLD THE MONSTER WILL ATTACK HIM ANYONE PLEASE HELP

Ogami saw a child in front of the monster the child was about to get attacked

Ogami ; oh no I have to do something NOW !

Ogami without second thought rushed and grabbed the child before the monster's sword hit him

Ogami ; run to your mother NOW GO

The child ; alright

The child listened to ogami and ran to his mother

The mother ; oh my boy thanks you young man

Ogami ; run all of you to safe place NOW

Ogami ; (I have to make him focus on me I know ) hey you monster

The monster focused on ogami

Ogami ; you're interrupting the peace of the imperial capital I will be your opponent ( I don't believe I said that but at least he will focus on me for now )

Most of the citizens ran to a safe place while the monster focused on ogami

Ogami ; alright the monster is now focus on me at least I made sure everyone is safe but I don't have a weapon with me I have to find something

Ogami while looking he saw a sword on the ground

Ogami ; a sword? Well is better than nothing

Ogami grabbed the sword to begin his fight with the monster

Ogami ; how can I defeat that thing ? for now I will hit him

Ogami then began his attack on the monster, the monster swung the sword at ogami but he managed to dodge it and land an attack but unfortunately it didn't do a scratch

Ogami ; oh boy I know it won't damage him but I have to try again

After that ogami continued his attack on the monster and evaded all of his attacks, but it didn't have any effect on him

Ogami ; dammit I have to think of something before things get worst… how that girl managed to destroy it

While ogami was fighting he saw a citizen still there

Ogami ; oh my you gotta be kidding me

The monster then went after the citizen to attack him

Ogami ; oh no watch out

Ogami went and pushed the citizen away from the monster is attack but the monster used his other arm to hit ogami unfortunately it landed on him launching him far away but he managed to survive the hit

Ogami in pain ; dammit I think my bones broke looks like my past fight did give me an edge still I cannot stand up it was too much for me I hav- huh?

Ogami then looked to see the monster leave him and headed somewhere else what is more ogami knew where he was heading

Ogami ; wait is he heading to the theatre where everyone is?

Ogami imagined what would happenen if he arrived at the theatre he imagined everyone getting killed

Angry Ogami ; no sakura-kun and everyone I cannot leave them I …..NO!

Ogami stood up immediately despite his pain and rushed in front of the monster

Furious Ogami ; I CANNOT LET YOU MOVE ANYMORE AND CONTINUE TO HARM ANYONE I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS

The monster then began his attack on ogami

Ogami ; ( I HAVE TO FIGHT I CANNOT LET HIM HURT SAKURA-KUN AND EVERYONE EVEN WHEN I AM INJURED I CANNOT STAND AND WATCH EVERYONE DIE I HAVE TO FIGHT NOT FOR MYSELF BUT FOR EVERYONE IN THE CAPITAL I WILL PROTECT SAKURA-KUN AND EVERYONE I WILL )

While the monster is attack was about to hit him in a split second ogami was in a dark world and all he could see was a wolf

Ogami ; what th ? where am I ?... wait where did I see you before ?

After that Ogami went back to reality and evaded the monster is attack while the monster was about to attack again he saw ogami's eye changed the monster was for some reason frightened made him step back a little

Angry ogami ; I WONT LET YOU HURT ANYONE NOT SAKURA-KUN NOT ANYONE I WILL DESTROY YOU HAAAAAA

Then immediately there was an aura around ogami and his sword had been infused with a lightning everyone was shocked from what they saw

Ogami ; THIS IS THE END HAAAAAA

Ogami then attacked the monster with his lightning sword and the monster used his sword to block it but it penetrated his sword and his body cutting him in half destroying the monster once and for all and everyone was shocked and happy at the same time then ogami returned to his sense and he looked at his sword with lightning beginning to disappear

Tired Ogami ; I did it ? what happened just now ? and what happened to the sword ? what was that lightning ? and that wolf where did I see him? ….. for now I should get some rest and huh ?

Ogami immediately saw another humanoid steam robot but it looks much different from the one he destroy it because the middle body of it was huge it was like someone can fit in it and with a sword on the side but what most he noticed the most that the color of the steam robot was pink

Ogami ; another one it looks different and the color is interesting did he come to fight I don't know who he is but it looks like it isn't over

Ogami tried to stand up to fight the steam humanoid but all steam humanoid did was looking at the monster who ogami destroyed it after that he began to leave

Ogami ; huh? what is going on ? are you telling me that he was here for the that monster WAIT

The steam robot stopped for the moment and looked at ogami

Ogami ; who are what are you doing here what is your purpose ?

The steam robot stayed silent for moment and went away

Ogami ; wait haaaa

Ogami couldn't go after him because his body was still in pain from the last fight

Ogami in pain ; dammit I cannot follow him right now I need some rest

After that everyone came to ogami to see if he is alright

Random citizen ; are you alright mister ?

Ogami in pain ; I am fine don't worry I get used to it

Another random citizen ; I have to say I never seen someone fight against that monster like that

Ogami in pain; yeah me too this is my first time actually fighting that monster oh my where are my groceries I have to return to my job now

Random citizen ; here is your groceries young man I am sorry most of it gone

Ogami ; oh I see don't worry about it more important is that you are safe

A Store owner ; say what is missing from your groceries ?

Ogami ; well some food and the latest magazines and some chocolate and bottle of sake

Store owner ; alright wait here

Ogami ; huh?

After some time the store owner brought with him chocolate and the food

Ogami ; thanks how much it cost

Store owner ; don't worry is on the house

Ogami ; thanks but

Store Owner ; don't worry It the least I can do

Another one it was a women brought with her the latest magazines to ogami

Ogami ; thanks you didn't have to

The women ; don't worry that thanks for saving that child back then

And another one a man gave him two bottle of sake

Ogami ; wow that too much you really didn't have to

The man ; is okay consider this as award for your help

Ogami looked at everyone and smiled

Ogami ; thanks everyone for all of that

Random citizen ; you are welcome do you need to anything

Ogami ; no thanks I should get going

Random citizen ; but still you didn't get enough rest

Ogami ; don't worry about me I rest more than enough if you all excuse me

Ogami took all the groceries and returned to the theatre and left the sword

Random citizen ; he was really a brave still how did he manage to destroy that monster

then the citizen came close to see the sword ogami used after he touch it the blade itself shattered completely everyone shocked of what they saw

At the theatre

Ogami arrived with most of his cloth badly damaged and he can barely walking

Ogami ; I arrived finally still that monster and the steam humanoid what was all of that but the people were so nice to helped me

While ogami entered the theatre he saw sakura cleaning the floor

sakura ; hallo oga huh?

Sakura left everything and rushed to ogami

Worried Sakura ; ogami-san are you alright what happened to you why are you like that ?

Ogami ; is okay there was a fight going on so I tried to stop it but it wasn't as easy as I thought

Sakura ; are you sure it was normal fight I don't think so

After some time at night while ogami were sleeping someone entered has room it was iris she saw ogami was in pain

Iris ; big brother …. Let iris help you

Iris then raised her hand and started to glow with ogami too made him heal all his injures

Iris ; iris is happy to help big brother iris hope big brother gonna be alright

Iris left ogami's room

At the morning

Ogami woke up and he didn't feel any pain

Ogami ; huh ? what th ? for some reason the pain from that fight disappeared and all my injures are healed how ? ….. well something weird has been happening to me lately since coming here known that that the Imperial assault troop was a lie and that monster and now that I think about it I never gone to the basement not once since coming here what is going on and that steam humanoid now that I think about I saw something like that In the past it was on one of my missions … for now I should change my clothes to see the rehearsal of sakura-kun

Ogami ; huh ?

Maria ; a world where one must fight to stay alive and I….. don't want the capital to be a city where all the smiles are gone away

Sumire ; sakura-san please focus on the practice if you don't mind

Sakura ; oh I am sorry sumire-san I didn't mean it I will focus now

Ogami ; you can do it sakura-kun just believe in yourself

Sakura ; I will thanks ogami-san

Sakura and sumire began their dance sumire show her how to dance and sakura tried to dance like her

Sakura ; Spin around here than Raise your hand

Sumire ; sakura-san all your footwork are wrong

Ogami ; wow this is amazing I am glad that sakura-kun got a chance to practice with sumire-kun

Ogami ; …

Ogami ; well I have to admit those performances weren't gonna be as excellent as it is if there wasn't a rehearsal like that

But it didn't last long because

Sumire : uwah

Ogami ; huh ? oh boy

Ogami saw sumire fell flat on her face because sakura step on her kimono by mistake sakura then quickly removed her leg

Sakura ; I am sorry sumire-san are you alright ?

Ogami ; oh boy that fall was so hard I hope sumire-kun is alright

Sumire stood up and looked at sakura with angry face

Sumire ; sakura-san isn't it rude to step on someone else is kimono

Sakura ; I am so sorry

Ogami ; well to be honest sumire-kun is kimono was so long but yeah it was sakura-kun is fault at least she apologize for it

Sumire ; oh my that why I can't stand the country girls at all you are so vulgar and rude

Ogami ; hey I know sakura-kun is at fault but isn't this too much sumire-kun huh ?

Ogami saw sakura become so furious that her face looked so much angry

Ogami ; oh boy that my first time see sakura-kun like that well I don't blame her sumire-kun crossed the line here but for some reason I have a bad feeling about this

Sumire ; so let's start from the beginning again shall we ?

But as soon as sumire turned around sakura stepped on her kimono intentionally and made her fall flat on her face to the ground again

Ogami ; and that is what I was afraid of I didn't know sakura-kun would hold a grudge even if sumire-kun crossed the line that wasn't the right thing to do

Sakura ; oh I am so sorry I didn't mean to it was an accident

Sumire stood up again and looked at sakura with angry face

Sumire ; why you

Ogami ; well that was a disaster maybe we should

Sumire ; sakura-san if my word won't get through perhaps my hand will

Ogami ; yea- wait WHAT !?

Sumire began to raise her hand to hit sakura

Sakura ; oh yeah

And sakura also raised her hand to hit her too

Maira ; (I have to stop it before it gets worse )he-

furious ogami ; HEY YOU TWO STOP RIGHT NOW

maria shocked to see ogami rushed so fast to stop them

amazed sumire ; lieutenant

amazed sakura ; oh no ogami-san watch out

ogami then stepped between sakura and sumire and took the hit form each side it was painful

ogami ; urggh

sakura ; ogami-san are you alright I am so sorry

sumire ; lieutenant what are you doing

furious ogami ; stopping you two from fighting I don't know much about the play and I don't really want to interfere with the rehearsal. But even in a troupe, teamwork is important and fight against each other isn't the right thing so stop the fighting

everyone stayed silent for a while

sakura ; you are right ogami-san I am sorry

ogami ; is okay

sumire ; why ?

ogami ; huh !?

sumire ; why do you care ?

ogami ; what do you mean ?

sumire ; you came from the navy to be the captain of assault squad and was lied to and we made you do all the work in the theatre

sakura ; sumire-san what are you saying ?

maria ; sumire stop this !

sumire ; even after all of that you still work here and care about us why after what we did to you why ?

sakura ; sumire-san

ogami ; do you want to know why ?

everyone : huh!?

ogami ; to be honest at first I didn't want to be the captain of the assault troop hell I was gonna even retired from the navy

sumira ; what !?

ogami ; but I came here because they told me that the assault troop and the capital will be in danger

maria ; lieutenant

ogami ; and after I came here and doing all the work to be honest I hate it and couldn't stand it at all because I thought I came here to be the captain of the imperial assault troop and after I realized that all of this was a lie I was angry at anyone

iris ; big brother

ogami ; but after I heard why sakura-kun want to be on the stage and her dream I decide to stay here and continue my work and after I saw sumire-kun and maria and how their work make everyone happy and smile I realized that all of you have all a role you can only fulfill

sumire ; lieutenant

ogami ; that why I continue my work here because all I can do Is fighting that all I am good at I cannot act on the stage like all of you but helping all of you made me sure that I can make everyone happy in the theatre that why….. I don't want you all to fight between yourselves

sakura ; ogami-san

ogami looked at sakura

ogami ; sakura-kun I know sumire-kun is hard and sometimes unbearable but you know too well that sumire-kun really care about you and want you to become a great actress so be nice to her

then ogami looked at sumire

ogami ; and sumire-kun I know sakura-kun sometime she is clumsy and cause trouble but everyone is not perfect from the start even you aren't perfect and you know that so please be more patience with her

everyone ; …

ogami ; well if you all excuse me I have to go so

ogami left the stage everyone stayed silent after what he just said they couldn't say anything but sakura

sakura ; I cannot take it anymore

surprised maria ; sakura !

sakura ; I have to tell ogami-san he has the right to know

sumire ; but the manager said

sakura ; I don't care after everything he has been through and all the help he gave to us and what he said just now he has to know I …. I will go tell him everything

sakura went to ogami

maria ; sakura

maria was about to follow sakura

yoneda ; wait ! don't stop her

maria was stopped by the manager yoneda he there in the audience seats saw what ogami did listened to everything he said

maria ; why manager she will tell him

yoneda ; let her he deserve to know the truth now

sumire ; huh ? that means

yoneda ; yes it's time to tell him our true mission because he is without a doubt the captain you all need

ogami while was walking away

ogami ; aghh my face it hurt so much

sakura ; ogami-san wait

ogami ; huh ?

ogami turned around to see sakura in front of him

ogami ; is something wrong if it is about before don't worry I am not angry

sakura ; well it isn't about that

ogami ; huh ? what is it then

sakura ; ogami-san can you at least listen to me for a moment

ogami ; ( what she want to talk about ) sure what is it ?

sakura ; before you came here manager yoneda said that to all of us?

Ogami ; before I came ? what is it ?

Sakura ; that the captain of the flower division must be more than just a soldier

ogami ; more than just a soldier ?

sakura ; yeah and that we mustn't continue to fight a battles in which human lives is sacrificed for the sake of victory

ogami ; I….. I think I understand what do you mean

ogami remembered a time where he was in has early mission he was inexperienced of been the captain at the time they managed to bring the victory but at cost of their friend

flashback ogami holding his friend has legs were torn apart from the explostion

sad ogami ; stay with me you gonna make it

the friend ; don't worry captain I died as a soldier in the battle

sad ogami ; no

the friend ; is okay what is important is we achieved victory that all that all…

the friend passed away from the blood loss

sad ogami ; yes but what is the meaning of victory if this is the cost

returned to ogami and sakura

sakura ; and the person who serves as our captain must truly love the flower division this theatre and working here

ogami ; is that so

sakura ; please ogami-san I have a favor to ask you

ogami ; what is it ?

sakura ; please cherish this theatre and our troupe

sakura ; well that why I am here to tell you ….….

But it didn't last long because they heard an alarm sound all over the theatre

Surprised Ogami ; what the is that an alarm it looks like it inside the theatre why

What shocked ogami more is that sakura is face was like she knew what is going on

Sakura ; ogami-san please come with me we have to move out

Ogami ; huh ?now what are you talking about ?

Sakura ; I cannot tell you now because we have to go

Ogami ; what to you mean ?

Sakura ; what I mean is now the time for the imperial assault troop flower division to move out now come this way

Sakura grabbed ogami and went to some kind of secret room with some chutes

Ogami ; what th ? what are those ?

Sakura ; those are emergency chutes ?

Ogami ; emergency chutes ?

Then after that they met the rest of the troupe

Sakura ; maria-san I took ogami-san with me I know what manager said but he must know

Ogami ; sakura-kun … I don't know but I have feeling that ….. If I don't go there I will regret it for the rest of my life I ….. I cannot walk away now ….…. and if that will finally give me the answers so be it let's do it

Ogami finally used his chute to go down while he went down he saw some mechanical arms

Ogami ; what th ?

They changed his clothes and put some new ones

Ogami ; what is going on what are those ?

After sometime he saw a light on the end

Ogami ; wha ?

Ogami managed to stand on his foot on the ground after that he looked around to see some people moving so fast and all the wall and the ground are made of metal

Ogami ; huh ? what is this place

Ogami then turned around to see has exit was cover with painting of his face wearing some uniform

Ogami saw himself wearing the same uniform as in the picture a white and blue clothes with gold trim

After that Ogami walk a little more to see a huge table with detailed map of the Capital and a huge screen in front of it

Ogami ; huh ? it's looks like some kind of command room

Sakura ; ogami-san

Ogami ; huh ?

Ogami heard sakura and saw her and the rest with behind them a huge map stand up in lines like the navy they wear the same uniform as ogami but with different colors and without the blue one sakura was pink sumire was light purple maria was dark purple and iris was yellow

Maria ; imperial assault troop flower division has been assembled
