"Tachibana Nobara, have you ever taken a glimpse of your current time and are you aware of how fast it's moving?!" Mocked an elder man wearing a black with golden lace robe and dull black mitre on his head.
"Hehehe, forgive me, Your Honour," Nobara laughed nervously, stroking the back of her head with her right hand.
Yuu covered his jaws with a little snout with his paws as he mocked Nobara with a laugh. Nobara glared at him with her murderous eyes. Yuu looked away in an instant.
"Without further delay, let us begin the 320th prime session of VSO," the head of the legislative council, the aforementioned elder man, conveyed.
Nobara sat on a comfortable black office chair and put Yuu on the wooden table in front of her. She supported her head with her right fist. Yuu sat like a god in the form of a dog and smiled wryly at her, showing his large sharp teeth. Nobara grabbed his tail in the blink of an eye then squeezed it like a sponge. Yuu bit his paws to avoid himself from screaming. She grinned at him then released his tail after tormenting him. Yuu whined then hugged his soft thick tail and stroked it like a cat's fur. He glared at her like a predator but she gave full attention to the speech.
"We all do know that VSO's major mission is to slay vampires, we all do know that VSO's main vision is to minimise the vampire's population as low as possible, but, the existence of the anti-VSO induces a crisis between our world and theirs. Their collaboration with the vicious vampire is unforgivable by the law of heaven and hell," the man in white coat wearing a pair of big black-framed round glasses declared.
Every gesture of his hand and expression drawn on his face made him look like a talented amateur actor performing on the circle shaped stage, located in the middle of the court surrounded by vigilant audiences. His huge chiseled teeth which projected outward made his saliva splattered like a shower head every time he talked. The members of the legislative council whispered to each other while the speech was on going.
"City of Mitsuremon has been attacked by vampires last night at the border, the Bridge of Photon, and they might invade from the same area again. Who would have thought that those filthy and nasty creatures would reach this urban kingdom? Fear not people, despite all the trouble, let us give a thousand gratitude to our bold and audacious sentinel, who fought and slain them solo together with her assistant, Haru, and that's me, ehe ehe, in a single slash, Hanazawa Yumeri," emboldened the man in white coat while pointing his hand to a brunette woman with huge glittered purple ribbon on her head and was wearing a purple with tiger stripe dress.
She fanned herself with her sparkling glitter purple fan then giggled with a high pitched voice. Her eyelashes were long and its glitter could be seen from hundred metres away. Her thick purple makeup shimmered under the white spotlight and her lilac lips curved into a smile. Her lilac fur around her neck and her curly shiny brown hair made her feel the only goddess and the beauty of which was only approved by God and goddess.
Nobara was totally pissed by the purple woman's self confidence about the mission. Her mouth was wide open of dissatisfaction. She couldn't believe that the gratitude which was meant for her was achieved by other people. Who did that woman think she is? A deity? Yuu looked at her pissed face then stared at the peevish purple woman, Yumeri.
Yumeri chortled like a pig and smiled many times as the huge audience, not excluding the member of the legislative council, thanked her with a huge applause for the first mission ever. Nobara cleaned the mess, Yumeri got the credit, the VSO was the biggest scam she ever received. Nobara laid her head down on the table with her arms acting as her pillow.
"Woof," Yuu barked slowly after he stroke Nobara's hair then she raised her head.
"That woman ain't got any cursed weapon to even slay a vampire, not to mention proclaiming herself as one of the sentinels. I'm totally pissed by her presence, not even got a legit ceremony to get the title as a sentinel," Nobara replied.
Yuu, leant closer to her then whispered, "how can you tell? And are there any other sentinels here other than you, Nobara-sama?"
"Tsukiyama whispered to me, he senses no negative energy. Am the only sentinel working with VSO, what a waste."
Yuu saw a black shadowy aura radiating from Nobara's back. It exuded brilliant purple blaze and Yuu could see the shadow feeding on her negative aura. It was Tsukiyama, the butler-like man but nobody could see him.
After the end of the session, Nobara and Yuu went to the prime office to meet the president of VSO by a supersonic lift which travel at the speed of sound. The lift eventually stopped with a bell sound. The metal door slid open to the left then it stuck halfway. With rustic sound the door slid slowly with an even more annoying high pitched rustic sound. Nobara rolled her eyes then stepped out of the lift normally but Yuu did not. He staggered out like a drunk dog then he vomited in the huge Chinese vase which plant was a hydrangea tree.
Nobara stared at him in disgust with her mouth wide open. Yuu wiped his slimy jaws with his palm after he had vomited. His snouts bloated then he crawled to the vase and vomited again. He raised his paw showing one of his fat fingers to them. Nobara laughed nervously then turned to the president. By her surprise, the president scratched his head with both of his huge hands.
"AARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! Hygie!" The president cried with his white face and bluish coloured with drips of white sweat on his forehead.
Hygie was the name of the hydrangea, she presumed. Yuu was better after vomiting everything from his little tummy. The president returned to normal then sat stiffly on his comfortable black leather chair. Yuu looked at the wrinkles on the president's face and his murderous cold eyes. He looked at the bright glass wall behind which was filled with scenery of tall buildings and skyscrapers but they looked lower. He thought that the president might still be at his 50, judging from his face and his black long and wavy hair with white bands.
"So, why should I be summoned here, to the VSO headquarters which gives no gratitude to the hero?" Nobara asked while crossing her arms on her chest.
"Hah, being ironic is so you, Nobara my love," the president proclaimed, showing his wrinkles.
Yuu gasped and was surprised by his words then he growled because he was annoyed by the word 'my love'. How can an old man like him be the virgin maiden's lover? Their age gap was too great, as he presumed. The president looked at the little dog growling at him.
"Interesting, an intimidating adorable little dog. New companion, eh, queer taste of choices. I feel like committing a felony," laughed the president.
Nobara stared at Yuu then sashayed like a supermodel into the president's direction then sat on his laps. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder then exchanged gazes with him. The president smiled then put his hand on her waist then rubbed it with passion. Yuu was annoyed by the old freak and even Nobara had become his accomplice. He growled then barked as if they were a threat to him but was neglected.
"My dear, your presence today shall be my gift and it always will be. I hereby command you to accomplish another mission, according to this letter. Not from me, of course. On behalf of the legislative council, I would like to apologise for the inconvenience and Yumeri deserves no such gratitude, I suppose," the president adjured while stroking Nobara's red fringe and kissed her cheek afterwards.
"You don't have to apologise in their place but I demand a proper apology from themselves. Perhaps the measley session has wasted my time. I suppose that Kiirotori Kingdom doesn't seem to face any threat from the vampire and yet why is a sentinel summoned for such mild creatures?" Nobara replied, embracing the old man.
"Because, I miss you dear heart,"
"You truly have a sense of humour, eh?" Growled Yuu.
The president's eyes were widely opened by the fact that the little husky spoke. Nobara widened her eyes as a signal that he would be in trouble once they got home. Yuu bowed and lowered his head and whined. Nobara apologised and explained about her hoarse voice which varied without her acknowledgement. The president smiled then took a yellowish envelope, sealed with red wax with a VSO seal marked on it then lent it to Nobara. Nobara took it.
"Redeem this letter. I'm quite intrigued about the contents but well, it's for you, and-" the president whispered and kissed her red lips.
The president leant closer then whispered to her ear, "can't wait to have you on my bed, dear."
"You shall answer me in exchange of that, who's the sender of this letter?"
"I'm afraid that you won't find your answers even if it is beyond the infinity, my dear."
Nobara and Yuu left the office in an instant.
