Two days had passed since Lucie and Evelyn had arrived in this dimension, time that they used to be able to adapt to their new home, and new mission, which was to take care of the [World Tree's] Sapling.
The two women accepted this mission without a second thought, after all, these were not only the orders of their leaders, but also one of the greatest prides they could have.
The [World Tree] was a divinity for the Elves, the origin of their race, so it didn't matter what kind of elves they were, or what dimension they had inhabited before coming to this place, none of that mattered.
Cloud and Celestine continued to create the 'compost' necessary for the offspring to continue to grow, and there were times when Olga joined the party, though that didn't mean he was neglecting the others.
The situation with Rika had finally been regulated.
With the time she had been in this world of peace, she had managed to sort out her thoughts, and come to the conclusion that the feelings she had said before were nothing more than distorted feelings of dependency, after all, Shizuka was moving on and she was still in the past.
Cloud decided it was best not to enter into a relationship with her because there was honestly nothing in common between the two of them, and she didn't seem to be bothered by this situation, though that didn't mean he had 'fired' her.
Rika would continue her mission as a [Recruit], only unlike the others, she would join the [Trainer Section] as she had called it. Her mission would be to train and train the new recruits so that they would have the means to defend themselves in different situations, and unlike Chifuyu and Tabane, she would do it full time.
Ryōko continued to try to enter Cloud's room, who was honestly starting to accept the woman's advances, though it wasn't quite time yet because she was about to enter a new world.
With that in mind, Ryōko accepted the momentary withdrawal, and began to concentrate on being the one in charge of organising everything related to expenses and possible needs of the group. You could say that she was like Cloud's secretary, and the one who had the most power in the area of SP expenses.
The organisation of the girls in different departments started to become more and more solid.
First there was the information gathering team, being led by Asuna, who was the best qualified thanks to her intellect and way of being. She had decided to continue on her Idol path to gather information with her voice and charm, and had Saya as her second in command with her mother, who was in charge of analysing the information they would receive and filtering out the wrong ones.
This was useless at the moment, but in the future it would be of great help, and it was best to learn as much as they could now that they had the time to do so.
Yuriko was teaching Asuna and Miku how to use seduction as a weapon, and this was good because they were seductive themselves.
Erin was serving as the Ace of the group thanks to her great ability to gather information, a skill that even surprised Yuriko herself, who had the most experience.
Chifuyu took under her wing the girls who were skilled in close combat as a speciality, and created the armed assault team, which consisted of pure offensive power using short-range weaponry.
In this team were most of the girls, being Saeko, Rei, Houki, Tatenashi, Alisa, and Ren.
The next group was the Long Range Support team which was led by Rika as the instructor.
In this group were Maya, Cecilia, Charlotte, and partially Sakuya.
The next group was an unarmed assault team, being led by Kyōka.
In this team were Ayane, Ema, and Okina.
The fifth group was the Magic squad which was led by Celestine and Olga.
In this group were Kyoko, who was the closest to the group in awakening mana thanks to her ability as a Summoner, as well as Lucie and Evelyn.
Finally there were the Research and General Support groups.
The research squad was currently being made up of just Tabane, with Houki and Saya joining from time to time.
As for the general support squad, it was just Shizuka and Sakuya, who were in charge of the wounded, researching possible diseases from different worlds to create countermeasures.
Each group had a clear function and covered a large part of the possible skills of the upcoming recruits.
Cloud was surprised at how quickly the girls had organised themselves, though after a little explanation, he realised that it wasn't all that far-fetched.
* * * * *
Time marched on, and the evening had arrived.
The girls were on their way home so they could take a good rest, when they stopped dead in their tracks and heard the voice of the system echoing in their ears.
[New World has been assigned, next mission will be assigned in 2 days.]
Cloud raised an eyebrow when he heard this as he looked at Kyoko with a smile.
She nodded calmly as she tried to calm her heart, after all, this would be the first world she would be visiting and honestly she wasn't as strong as the others.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Cloud said with a smile as he stroked her cheek.
"Thank you," Kyoko murmured as she nodded weakly.
[The clue is [Hunter], I hope you manage to prepare for your next mission, User. Good luck]
"Hunter" - muttered Cloud, only to frown because that word was too ambiguous, after all, there were many worlds that had a relation to this word, or that it was at least important to their plot.
"Do you think you can find the answer?" - Kyoko asked as she looked worriedly at the blonde man.
"Not in the slightest" - Cloud replied as he continued to frown - "That word has too many connections that I could spend an entire afternoon trying to find the solution and end up with nothing."
"I think it's a good first job for us" - said Saya as she crossed her arms under her prominent bust - "I promise we'll have the solution before long, or at least some narrowed down options on your next destination."
"I'm counting on you" - Cloud replied as he nodded calmly, not noticing how Erin stood behind him with a neutral expression - "Huh?"
". . ." - Erin stared at him for a few seconds before telling him to come closer.
Cloud was silent as he listened as Erin quietly told him not to worry about anything.
"I see your communication problems are gradually improving" - Cloud said as Erin blushed slightly because it was still embarrassing to speak out loud.
"Little by little and soon everything will be normal" - Cloud said with a smile as Erin nodded slowly before disappearing.
He had to admit that it was amazing to watch Erin disappear without a trace, to the point that he had to use his supersenses to be able to detect her.
"Do you think they'll make it?" - Kyoko asked as she looked at the blond.
"Possibly" - Cloud answered as he started to think - "Or at least they'll be close to making it."
* * * * *
A day later, Cloud had in front of him three sheets with different specifications.
"These are the three we managed to separate from the rest" - said Saya while wiping her sweat.
The poor girl had dark circles under her beautiful eyes from not having slept all night to complete her mission.
"You shouldn't have overexerted yourself," Cloud sighed as he shook his head, "I appreciate it."
Saya smiled as she heard this before retiring, after all, she needed a well deserved rest along with the other members of the intelligence gathering squad.
Cloud took the reports and began to read them, only to frown because there was one he could quickly dismiss.
"[Kimetsu no Yaiba]" - Cloud said as he shook his head - "Next."
Cloud slowly took the second report and started to think - "RWBY, it's possible, but I don't think it's the one either."
He knew he was acting badly, but his instincts were telling him that these were not the right ones, but his expression quickly changed as he picked up the last sheet.
"Hunter X Hunter," Cloud muttered in surprise.
Hunter x Hunter, or better known as HxH, an action-adventure type manga, a rather long story and it wasn't finished yet.
"The problem is that I haven't seen anything from HxH since the Chimera Ant saga ended, but I think that information is more than enough if this is the world I'm going to" - muttered Cloud as he picked up the other sheets again - "Maybe I should prepare for the worst, after all, my instincts might be wrong."
Cloud quickly called Ryōko and told her to organise some things to survive in the wild, then went to Tabane to ask for some sturdy gadgets.
He had learned how to survive in the wild thanks to the simulations he had gone through when he was locked up in the [Infinite Stratos] military facility.
Infinite Stratos] military facility, so there was no problem in this area.
