Dear Shabu, I'm Jealous

Regal Military Primal Base

In the same day, when Aka just returned from the Head Quarters he saw that the same soldier from the morning was waving right at him indicating there is something for him to see.

Aka went out from his Buggati La Voiture Noire, and head toward the soldier,

"Captain, there is another bouquet delivery, what should we do?" the soldier asked as he pointed at a bouquet of black roses. It wasn't withered but it looks rather fresh, it was wrapped elegantly and it was esthetic, but it was all black blended with some linings of dark violet.

"I thought you ban deliveries?" Aka raised his brows

"I did but it was an old woman who insisted" replied the soldier as he recall that old woman who nearly cry because he strictly forbid it before

"She said it was for her granddaughter" the soldier added

"Black roses for her granddaughter? Did she died or something?" Aka said with a bit of doubt, One might think this was ordinary but he was familiar at the bouquet brand and that very familiar black color. It was a bouquet from the nether world and Gray was always fond of it, and that bouquet only symbolized death.

It's called the black roses of calling

There are other choices of color lining on the wrapper and each color convoy messages. The white lining is for 'pride', the red lining is for 'sloth', the blue lining is for 'envy', the yellow lining is for 'greed', the green lining is for 'doubt' and the violet lining is for 'wrath'.

Just looking at it makes Aka to have a surge of uneasiness, if there's a person in the military who is involved at the nether world, it's better to finis that person before it results into chaos.

The nether world and the military is a very diverse facet

"I'll go deliver it" Aka didn't said anything else and grab the bouquet. The soldier just nodded and saluted as Aka returned into his sports car.

He picked the black small card where the owner was written. It only consisted the word 'Blue' and nothing else.

How is he supposed to deliver this when there's no address nor any other information other than that. This is a total head ache but what can he do? He volunteered to do so.

Then he called a specific number. The person immediately picked it up,

"Hello dear brother! What is it?" said the man with snicker, it was no other than Gray who is in the middle of an important conference with the board directors of the company. He even shamelessly picked the call interrupting the discussion. He didn't dare to go on the other side but he remained seated at his swivel chair giving an indifferent looks to those people who were on the room to shut up and don't bother.

Of course, Aka was aware that asking for this man abet is hell. Just like the other time when he dig the information and hack through the military screens back then at the 101th survey unit case, heck, the exchange gift wasn't pleasant. Aka need to nigh with Gray at the nether world for some other time, that's the deal.

"Blue" Aka bluntly said which confused Gray on the other line

"Blue what?" Gray asked

"About this black roses of calling, do you have an idea why is it addressed to blue?" Aka asked

Gray suddenly laughed in amusement making everyone in the conference to be completely dumbfounded.

"Who send you that? What color lining is it?" Gray said in amusement and was obviously aware of that matter.

Bouquets like that are very high priced and can be only bought at the nether world, the black roses was something and it won't wither even if a year has passed, it will turn out into the same color as the given lining if put into a water vase. That was its beauty.

"I'm not the receiver" Aka completely denied to avoid anymore complications with this guy

"Eh? That's a pity!" said Gray in disappointment , he was just expectant who could be bold enough to send the black roses to Aka.

"Could you just go to point? I'm wasting time here" Aka added

"Ok fine, in the nether world there is a so-called color codes. Blue stands for Hit Man, and that's all for what I know" Gray replied nonchalantly. There are also color codes for assassins, spy, cutthroat, manslayer, etc.

Aka then ended up the call which made Gray to be irritated.

In the end, he didn't deliver the black roses and he brought it inside his cottage and put it in a safe place for further investigation. It's not his ilk to meddle with someone else but seeing that it was affiliated with the nether world, he won't just let it slip. But the more he think the more confused he became, this is the second time he take interest to prey on something. The first was the 101th survey unit case and this time, this.

He removed his neck tie as he sit on the couch. He saw a USB probably from Caelan, but he doesn't need it anymore. He already managed to know her name by his own effort, Yeah, he really did make an effort to this.

Her name was Eri Audree, 23 years old who is younger than him for 4 years. She just became a professional licensed soldier approximately four months ago. Her unit was under the combat sect. She was in the same base as him and she was just a neighbor, Her training outcome was splendid and she was great. But Aka was curious, why put her in a poor excelling unit?

Now that he managed to acquire her name, he felt at ease and he don't know but something is still kind of missing. He shrug the thought and went to feed the fur ball who spend it's time once again dillydally. When Aka lifted the fur ball he once again smell that sweet natural fragrance.

He doubted if shabu has been sneaking and was meeting with someone behind his back!

"So who's your girlfriend?" Aka asked as he feed the fur ball, the dog barked in response but like as if Aka could understand what does it means.

"Lucky you, you've already found someone while your owner probably gonna get old as a vegetarian" Aka chuckled at the foolish thought

"What the heck am I thinking…" then he added as he disheveled his red hair

He is being too perfervid these past days which isn't a good sign. He got some other important things to do and there is no time for such as leisure, next month is the start of autumn, he should start preparing things for the winter war.
