Chapter 4.5

Hayate was walking with Signum back to their house.

Hayate: Signum did you enjoy the visit? You did like Nanoha-chan right?

Signum: Yes (without realizing the other meaning to Hayate's question)

Hayate: (with an evil grin) Signum does that mean you're giving up on Shamal and moving on with Nanoha-chan.

Signum: (stopped abruptly)….

Hayate: (realized that Signum stopped walking besides her looked back at the girl.) Something wrong Signum? (Hayate said with mock innocence.)

Signum: (her head bowed low)….

Hayate: (walked towards her friend and seeing complete horror register on Signum's face she grinned) so this means you're cheating on Shamal?

Signum: No...I'm not. I'm completely devoted to her. (Signum blurted out)

Hayate: (grinning widely for she enjoy the look on her ever stoic friend) Oh I see so you do have a thing for Shamal.

Signum: (Realizing what she had blurted out looked at the grinning Hayate) you were teasing me? I should have known. You will not tell anyone about this or else….

Hayate: (still with a grin on her face) or else what? Signum..

Signum was thinking of a proper threat, found herself cornered until she remembered certain something.

Signum: I'll tell a certain blond boy about your secret.

Hayate looked at Signum confused. Then she remembered a certain blonde boy and she immediately blushed.

Hayate: Y…you wo..wouldn't. You don't even have any proof.

Signum: (smirked) Levantine pull out file XHSX

A transparent screen appeared and a video feedback started to play.

Hayate: H…how cou…could you?

Signum: (still smirking) I've been with you long enough. I know how you blackmail others to do what you want. I just thought of a counter measure just in case you found me amusing and tried to blackmail me. I guess it worked. I don't plan to release this but I would if you make me.

Hayate was speechless while Signum walked forward with a victorious smile.
