Misaki walked towards us.
"I assume we need to talk about this. I'll drop by later. I have somethings to do before that." She then left us.
Genma is still shaking from his words. He looked at me as if he is asking me what should we do. I just nodded at him and took out my phone and made a call.
"Hey...."
"Who are you talking to?" Genma asked.
I raised my pointer finger to tell him to give me a moment.
"Well.. You see..."
"You're already there?!"
"Fine... I'll do your report..."
I hung up the phone and looked at Genma in a frightened way.
"Let's hurry to my place..." I told Genma while placing my hands on his shoulders.
I then started Running ahead of Genma.
"Eh? Who was... What's going on? Hey!"
Genma then followed me with confusion written all over his face.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We arrived to my place with no sign of Kosaru nor Remi being here yet. I was relieved.
As I open the door and enter my place, a kitchen Knife flew by my face and struck the wooden shoe shelf.
"You're six minutes and three seconds late."
A woman with flawless dark hair is sitting on the poker table while holding my kitchen knives.
"I'm sorry for intrusion!" Genma bowed to the woman.
"You brought a friend?" the woman asked.
"More will come here later." I replied.
She went off the table and sat at the sofa. She gave off a loud sigh.
"Uggghhhh... Food!" She demanded.
"I got salad."
"BURGER!"
She took a pillow and puts it on top of her face. I can't refuse the demand so I head to the kitchen to make one.
"Take a sit Genma... I'll be back in a couple of minutes. She doesn't bite."
She threw a pillow at me as I walk to the kitchen.
Awkward silence filled the place. Genma noticed that the girl was wearing the uniform of our school and decided to break the silence.
"So you go to the same school as us?"
The awkward silence continued afterwards. She is just sitting there with a pillow on her face.
The front door opened and broke the silence.
"THE IDOL HAS ARRIVED~!"
Remi, Kosaru and Misaki entered the room and saw Genma sitting.
"Shush... I think she is asleep..." Genma warned Remi.
"Who's she?" Kosaru asked.
I came out from the kitchen and saw them wondering who the girl was.
"Ohh you guys came early..." I then placed the burgers on the table.
"Finally! Some good food!" the woman took off the pillow from her face and grabbed a burger.
Misaki's eyes widened as she saw the girl's face.
"She's from 1-B's combatant team. Why is she here?" Misaki asked.
"Ohh I haven't introduced myself! I'm Niwashiru Angela. I went to Age with Mikeru and I specialized in crafts. I'm also his girlfriend."
"Ehhh?!"
Everyone was shocked after hearing Angela's introduction.
"Mikeruchi man... You didn't tell us that you have someone..." Kosaru said as he strangles me.
"Wow I didn't know Mikyun has a girlfriend! And beautiful at that!" Remi admires her.
"Mi... Mikyun... Ha ha ha ha!" Angela bursted a laugh.
"Remi... I noticed something wrong with your gears and drones. Something feels off." I then focused on Remi.
"Really? I didn't see anything wrong with them during my run." Remi is now curious.
"Lets test it out once more at the workshop. lets also replace the some parts to make it lighter. I saw some wobbling while they fly."
"Okay... How about you guys?" Remi asked a question to the others.
"Nah I'm good. I only got Carry limit with mine." Kosaru answered.
"Mikeru and I already finished attaching the shock pod chargers on the spare hilt last weekend." Misaki followed.
"I..." Genma was about to say something when Misaki looked at him sharply.
"I'm good... Why don't you keep the improvements a secret for the wow factor?" Genma told Remi.
"That's a great idea! Mikyun! I have something in mind!" Remi then climbed up the stairs.
"Don't make it too complicated..."
I followed Remi leaving the four of them behind.

"Now to finish my introduction... I am Merk's second in command next to The Hornet. My code is Crimson Crow."
"So that's why Mikeru took Remi to the workshop." Misaki said.
"Second in Command? That means Mikeruchi is..." Kosaru deducted.
"The Hornet? No... He isn't part of Merks."
"Why talk to us about this?" Genma asked.
"I heard you guys got in trouble with one of our registered groups. I'm here to recruit you guys for protection. What they do to Civilians isn't our responsibility. Although we condemn those actions, we are not the ones inforcing the those set of laws."
"Means you're only allowed to meddle to the problems within your group." Misaki.
"That's right. We are still a public group really. Every official actions of our Group is broadcast and reported publicly."
"So what they did were labeled as personal actions since we are not part of the Merks..." Genma worried.
"Before you decide to Join... There are few things I need to mention. Sort of like policies we need to disclose to all."
"Give it away."
Kosaru and Misaki then sits on the sofa.
"First, we treat each other as family. Second, we are not held responsible to any actions you commit that violates the existing laws. third, we are to disclose and report anything happened during fights and other information related to the group."
"So it wasn't the Merks that shot Remi's mother..." Genma murmured.
"The oldest among us is bed ridden upstairs. you can't expect a minor to have a gun hidden with him right?"
"No..."
"Now once you are Labeled as a Royalist then it's a whole new story."
"Royalist?" Kosaru asked.
"Combatants with special Gears. But we'll get to that when you're ready. Right now I need your answer... You guys Joining?"
Misaki nodded.
"I'm in." Kosaru answered.
"For Remi not to worry anymore... I will" Genma answered.
"Right on track lover boy!"
Angela teased Genma. Moments after, 10 drones smaller than the ones used in the fight are flying across the living room.
"You're Right! They are Faster and stable!" Remi's voice was heard from the drones.
