"All of these symptoms say that you are seriously in love with him."

[Love? Am I in love with Troy?]

"Do you want to live with him forever?"

"Yes"

"Do you want to torture him?"

"No, not at all?" I said what came into my mind first.

"Then of course its love, Esdeath-sama, confirmed."

They were babbling something, but I ignored them.

[So this is love. The thing which I wanted to experience and kept searching since 2 years.]

There is a warm feeling in my chest. I can't see it, but my cheeks feel hot.

"Esdeath-Sama!" The third girl who wore armor stood in front of Esdeath. "The mission, please."

"Captain?" The two girls behind her long blonde hair got alert.

"Yes" I recalled everything about the important mission. "There is something wrong going in the adjacent towns."

"What?" She asked.

"They have annihilated a town. To be specific, the Enig town."

"What?" Everyone's mouth is open.

"Yes," I reassured. "Someone is leading a large group of bandits or criminals."

"Are you sure it's not any demon?" The Captain asked.

"Yes, it is not a demon since no dark magic traces were visible. It's purely the work of humans with some grudge."

"Just tell me what to do?"

"Their next target might be us, So I want you to defend it while I am away to the capital," I told her my plan.

"Esdeath-Sama, don't you think it's better to attack than be on defense."

[Nice idea, Even I, thought of this. It would be good if they speed things. They are a talented team and even if they don't succeed; I have other plans.]

"Fine, your wish. Take whoever you want."

"We alone are enough."

"You seem pretty confident. Even though it's the smallest town in the empire, they annihilated an entire town in a day."

"Numbers don't matter to me. I can take multiple attacks at once. But since you allowed us to take whoever we want, I will take team 4A and 4B, with me. Someone has to tidy up the dead bodies, right?"

"Yes!!" The other two girls exclaimed in unison.

[She is getting too cocky, But I don't care. If things get any worse, I just have to send a 1st class team or enter the battle myself.]

"Do as you wish, Darkness." I left the room before their cocky and overconfident attitude caught me.

[Now it's time to see Troy.]

I whistled and my vehicle came down. Once it went above the clouds, noticing the sun, I recalled the moment where I kissed him.

I still cannot forget how it felt when I kissed him.

My face landed on something soft. I am having mixed feelings about this. I am happy that I didn't get knocked by the door but this soft feeling; I have felt this literally many times, and it never ended well.

I don't want to look above, and even the soft thing isn't budging. I paused in the same position until someone broke the silence.

"Excuse me" I felt the vibrations of the voice from the soft things. "Excuse me"

"Yes?"

"Can you lift your head?"

"Why?" I asked, even though I know the answer.

"Because I am busy with work?"

"So?"

"I don't want to go through the entire process of filing a sexual harassment case this late."

"Ok, Ok" I lifted my head and looked towards her. I remember seeing this face just now, her face is nowhere like Yuno, but her hair colour is sketchy. Maybe this isn't as bad as expected.

This girl is wearing a maid outfit which looks like they specifically made it for her to increase her charm. A minute ago she was all shy, and now she looks so confident.

"So, you are Rem right?"

"Huh? No, I am Ram."
