Peaceful Negotiations?

Floating in the moonlit night Astra looked down on the happenings below. 

*Whoosh! *Whoosh!

The cold wind gently blew as Astra shielded the sleeping cat in her arms from the cold wind. 

The named Phill fighting down below was pretty impressive taking down all the guards silently. 

Astra was confident that even if she didn't help Phill would be able to rescue the princess. 

Unless...

Astra looked towards a certain tent. She could feel a powerful presence. 

Not powerful compared to her but this presence was obviously a threat to Phill boy. 

Astra thought for a moment. Should she help now or later? 

She caressed the black cat in her arms.

In the end, she decided to help now without anyone noticing. 

Astra came down gently and landed in front of the tent. 

The tent didn't have guards like the other tents. 

Astra walked into the tent while holding Sakura in her arms. 

Inside Jester who was sitting with his assistant doing some kind of paperwork paused when they saw Astra coming in. 

Jester didn't understand but as a gentleman, he still stood up and greeted. 

"Hello, there mam, I think you are in the wrong..."

"Snap!"

He heard a snap and the next thing he knew his secretary fell to the floor.

Dead. 

Just like that. 

It happened too fast for even Jester to comprehend. 

"Help the boy outside who's attacking your camp. Give him everything he wants." Astra said without a care for the man's expression. 

Jester was shocked but he wasn't dumb. At least he knew this woman was dangerous.

After that, Astra just simply walked out and retook her place in the sky quietly watching over so that everything went well. 

'Hng, it's so chilly.' Sakura woke up with a yawn. She tried to remember where she was and what she was doing.

'What am i doing agian?' She thought before realizing her hand was a cat paw. 

< You fell asleep while we were following the group of boys. > Astra clarified. 

'Oh, that's right… wait! That's right I was about to help Phil's group on a rescue mission!!!" Sakura realized she completely dozed off during an important time.

< It's okay master. I have taken care of it on your behalf. > 

'You have taken care of it?' Sakura tilted her head in confusion. 

< I have made some small talk with the kidnappers and they agreed to free the princess. >

'Small talk you say.' Sakura squinted her eyes in suspicion. It was really hard to believe that the kidnappers would just let go of a hostage just because of small talk. 

But Sakura can't see any injured people around so that means no fight ensued. If what Astra said was true then the kidnappers really gave up just like that? 

Sakura looked down only to find that a man wearing a clown mask on his face was handing over the princess to the group of boys. 

She then looked at Astra and then at the group again. 

'You are really good at negotiations.'

< I am glad you liked it, master. >

If it was Sakura she would have been able to negotiate with these people like this. At most, she would have been able to threaten the kidnappers with her strength. 

'Let's feed you a good meal after we return home.'

< That would be unnecessary, master. >

'Nah, you should get rewarded sometimes. Don't worry I will cook for you.' Sakura raised her chest in pride. 

< Master can cook?>

'No, but how hard can it be.' Sakura shrugged. She has seen her mother cook before and has cooked rice in the past so it shouldn't be a problem. She has experience after all. 

Sakura focused on the situation below keeping the cooking thing in mind. 

Bellow, she saw the flabbergasted face of Phil who was ready to fight to death now receiving the princes on a single platter. 

Sakura could clearly notice his astonishment. 

'You really are good with negotiations aren't you.'

< Thank you again, master. > 

After that, everything went smoothly. The group of boys got the princess back and the kidnappers apologized for their actions. Again, Sakura couldn't help but praise Astra for her work. If it was her, some things would have gotten destroyed and people might have gotten hurt. But as far as Sakura could see no one in sight was hurt. An extraordinary feet indeed.
